Montclair State College - La Campana Yearbook (Upper Montclair, NJ)

FOREWORD ADMINISTRATION Page Eight • CAMPUS Page Sixteen La Campana must be two books in one — a yearbook to record the activ- ities of all Montclair students for one year and a senior book to tell the history of one class during four years. It may also attempt, as it has this year, to show some of the changes in the college that have occurred within the memory of the present graduating class. In the past four years there have been changes in the physical appear- ance of the campus and buildings — the amphitheater and Sprague Field have been completed; new roads, walks, and parking areas have been constructed; the main building has been altered to provide new office space; one dormitory has been made into two by a partition; the old auditorium has been transformed into a new and spacious library. There have been changes in curriculum and administration — a major in business education has been added and a major in German has been discontinued; men have come to the campus to live — with part of a dor- mitory to themselves; old teachers have gone and new ones have taken their places. There have been changes in student government and extracurricular activities — the Men ' s A.A. has been replaced by the more efficient Ath- letic Commission; wrestling, fencing, and cross-country have become regular parts of the sports program for men; a new and more effective Limitations Code has been put into operation; the Bureau of Student Publications has coordinated the financial activities of the three major publications; the International Cabaret has become an annual event. It would be impossible in the short space of 120 pages to tell the complete story, but the staff of La Campana for 1940 has tried, never- theless, to make this book as comprehensive as possible without sacrificing attractiveness of appearance. The senior section has been rearranged so that everything about one person is in one place; individuals in group pictures have been identified in captions printed with the pictures; a section of new pictures of the campus has been added; and the contents of the book have been classified and grouped in the manner of modern magazines and traditional yearbooks. But facts are not enough. They are only the raw material, the out- line around which memories and dreams are built. Each person will use La Campana for his own purposes, will build his own dreams around it, will make it his book. And that is as it should be.

HOWARD FRANKLIN FEHR His background of high school and college teaching, lec- turing, writing, working at hard manual jobs, and being a student once himself have made Howard F. Fehr an excellent teacher. A native Pennsylvanian, Mr. Fehr received his degrees of bachelor and master of arts at Lehigh University, and has now completed his work for his degree of doctor of philosophy at Teachers College, Columbia. During the World War, before becoming a mathe- matician and educator, Mr. Fehr loaded shells with T.N.T. Summer vacations from Lehigh were spent as a rigger in the open hearth furnaces of the Bethlehem Steel Company. He taught in two high schools in his home state before coming to South Side High School in Newark in 1927. It was from the latter that he came to M.S.T.C. in 1933. It wasn ' t long before Mr. Fehr became one of the most popular professors on campus, both in the classroom and out, a man enthusiastic in his chosen field of work and in the extra things that surround it. This winter Senior Mathematics for High Schools, the book on which Mr. Fehr and Mr. Mallory collaborated, was published. Besides this, Mr. Fehr has written articles for the New Jersey Educational Journal, Newark Teach- ers Bulletin, Junior-Senior Clearing House, and Mathe- matics Teacher. Also in the professional field was Mr. Fehr ' s work in helping to revise the curriculum for the new junior high school in Bloomfield. He has been, and is, teaching advanced calculus in the Newark Technical School. His chosen field for work for his doctor ' s degree was in the numbers system in algebra. But all students at M.S.T.C, in and out of the mathe- matics department, remember Howard F. Fehr for his readiness to give Montclair athletics a boost, his willing- ness to guide financial affairs of the S.G.A. and the Bureau of Student Publications, and his interest in all the students and all of their activities.
