It is our sincere hope that they will realize all the blessings that rightfully belong to those who devote their best efforts to the profession. May all who enter the field of teaching from Mansfield State Teachers College be inspired in their life ' s work by the words of Dr. Leslie Pinckney Hill, a much respected visitor to our campus. The Teacher Lord who am I to teach the way To little children day by day So prone myself to go astray? I teach them knowledge, but I know How faint they flicker and how low The candles of my knowledge glow. I teach them love for all mankind And all God ' s creatures, but I find Aly lore comes lagging far behind. Lord, if their guide I still must be. Oh, let the little children see The teacher leaning hard on thee. LESLIE PINCKNEY HILL SJn JKemoriam JACK KELSEY And when the stream which overflowed the soul was passed away, a con- sciousness remained that it had left deposited upon the silent shore of memory, images and precious thoughts that shall not die, and cannot be destroyed.

LUTES We, the class of 1955, are ready to leave M.S.T.C. and greet the world. The ho- rizons are dark, but we are prepared to help in brightening these horizons for those with whom we work. Through the powers of education, we will do this, each accord- ing to his own ability. Here, at M.S.T.C, we have gained the tools, the knowledge, the friends and the experience to make our journey on the road to life easier. So we say thanks to all who have guided us and helped us in any way. To Mansfield State Teachers College we say, So long and not Good-bye. s enior G a ass Josephine Ascenzi Elementary ELKLAND, PA.
