Four Year Histor The class entered M. S. T. C. with an eager desire to gain more knowledgeg ambitious to set new records of achieve- ment, both socially and scholastically. The class entertained the faculty at tea-the first time this had been at- tempted, and one might say, the class of 1932 set the fad for having tea parties at M. S. T. C. This event proved a great success and was given much publicity. Freshmen have a name for being bad actors, but the class of 1932 proved itself by successfully presenting three short plays to a capacity audience. The com- ments on those plays made the class feel a wee bit proud. Then came our Freshman Hop, the talk of the school because of the delightful manner in which it was conducted. At least we weathered the storms and strife of freshmen life and entered our next term, sophisticated sophomores. During the sophomore year we lost some members of our class and gained others. We did not have much time for class activities because we were settling down to a steady pace of study. XVe were, how- ever. instrumental in getting a voting machine to the school for the instruction of the students. And speaking of scholastic activity-we ranked the highest among the teacher's college in Pennsylvania in the Sophomore tests. Honorable Juniors-During our junior year the leaders in our class began making themselves known. There was hardly a member of our class who was not a leader in some phase of school activity. It was in this year that our class was recognized as Eighteen MR. HOOVER containing an unusually large number of leaders by both faculty and students. One of the outstanding features the Memorial Day program, judged to be one of the best programs ever put on the chapel platform. ' At the conclusion of our Junior year, the Touchstone Editor-in-chief, Business Man- ager and class officers were elected by the combined four and two year groups. Almost every officer was elected by a con- clusive majority. At the beginning of our Senior year we immediately got busy: the Touchstone Staff and class connnittees were announced and work was started. The color combinationg blue and gold, was selected as our class colors, while Enter to workg go forth to serve became our class 1nott.o. Our class play The Importance of Being Earnest, was on a much higher level than most of the previous plays, and the class was pleased with the splendid acting of the cast. Then came a series of dances. The Touchstone put on a delightful dance, which was followed by the Senior dance in February. The Senior dance was the best attended dance of the year and pro- duced the greatest profit of any dance con- ducted in the gymnasium. The second Touchstone dance proved to be better than the first, both socially and financially, to the great satisfaction of our class. A lawn fete was arranged for Class Day and the Senior Ball Committee made elaborate arrangements for a grand climax to out activities at M. S. T. C.

MISS SNYDER On a new and strange adventure we embarked as Freshmen, in the fall of 1930, ready to accept what the future might hold in store. Upon en- tering we fulfilled our reputation as being green , but in a very short time we learned to socialize and to become a vital part of M. S. T. C. Our quest for knowledge ha.d now begun, and under the helm of wise and cautious captains we were suc- cessfully steered through our Fresh man Year. Among the highlights were our novel Tea given to the Faculty and the Junior Proin. Quite a few of our members became en- gaged in athletics, the girls' Inter- class Basketball Championship being won by a group of our fair lassies. TWC YEAR HISTCDRY 54.5 Early in ur Senior y ar We learned to know our four-year class- mates more intimately at a Poverty Party sponsored by the two groups for the purpose of securing greater unification. This was successfully carried out as well as the many other social activities of our class. Among these were two Touchstone dances Senior Play, Varsity Drag, Senior Prom, Class Day, and Commence- ment. Much credit isldue to our class deans, who have given us their hearty co-operation and unfailing leader- ship. XV e extend to them, to our class' mates, and to underclassmen who have offered us their willing support our appreciation and best wishes for success. N meteen
