MARY LYON HALL 3 Beatrice Mary Witham DEDICATION As we dedicate our Conning Tower to you, Miss Witham, we also bid you goodbye. The interest you have taken in us and in our work, and the constant help that you have given us will long be remembered. 4 Dear Alma Mater, To thee we sing. Memories you have given To our hearts will cling. Ever we will cherish Your faith in us all. No matter how distant We’ll e’er heed thy call. The torch of learning For us brightly gleams. May its name ever grow, Fulfilling our dreams. Now we arc facing The future in trust. Farewell, Alma Mater, Our College so just. 5 The President’s Message The Class of 1940 goes out to a world of struggle, doubt and danger Wars involve so-called civilized nations. Peoples arc fighting for selfish ambitions of dictators who have destroyed lives, liberties and spirits of men by tyrannical efficiency America has escaped war, but it cannot escape the perils of world revolution, economic stress and the dislocations of society that inevitably accompany world disaster. A century and a half of wonderful development in America under a form of government guaranteeing the fullest freedom and opportunity in all the world may have made us too sure that democracy for America is enduring. We arc beginning to suspect that interpretations must be made fitting a modern world, that economic procedures and political regulations must change in a new era, that rugged individualism of the open spaces and the chance to move must give and take for the common good of all individuals where masses mingle and must stay as the country has become stabilized, especially industrially When technological efficiency makes mill laborers too numerous and farmers too productive, social problems arise. You, as teachers, must understand these problems and interpret them. Recognize that democracies have problems. Accept the challenge of needed reforms, the obligations to think deeply and to act justly that all the virtues of democracy may be saved for America. Dictatorships can act more quickly than democracies. Some of them have eliminated unemployment quickly but to what end and at what fearful sacrifice of interests, liberties and spiritual rights we hold so sacred. Shall democratic processes prevail in the evolution of a more efficient government with liberty and justice for all? Will the destiny of America be safe when controlled by those you teach? Propagandists have sold Nazism, Stalinism and all the other “isms.” Minority groups are active in America. To induct into adulthood citizens capable of knowing and appreciating America, with some learning on the way, is your job. Ernest L.

By electing the four year rather than the three year curriculum, you made the better choice. You will have many evidences of your wisdom, some seemingly intangible but others immediate and practical. You have known the intimate, tolerant, and stimulating friendships that your small group has given you. They will be lifelong, often renewed, and treasured in happy memory through the years. Your longer service of study in the college has increased your insight, maturity, judgment, and poise. Your four years of close association with children have equipped you with greater tact and ease in the absorbing difficult task of guiding them to socially creative living. It is my wish that you may carry on with that eager alertness that has characterized your work this year, and that you will continue to grow personally and professionally through continuing study and ever widening circles of associations. You arc aware of the distinguished record of teaching of the graduates of Plymouth Teachers College. You know, too, how the issues of our democracy arc being settled in the schools. You will do your share. 16 Guy E. Speare 7U U y C . v tc U 4 CS MARION BURNHAM r ristol, N. H.

H. Plymouth Teachers College, B.Ed. Special student GEORGE FREESE University of New Hampshire, B.A. 20 Bristol, N. H. Special student Robert John Ernst To the Graduates of the Commercial Curriculum The commercial teacher of a generation or more ago was a skilled worker from the business world. Training and viewpoint were definitely vocational. Skill was everything; understanding, of business or society, was unnecessary and ignored. Gradually the requirements have been changed until now the commercial teacher who is not a college graduate is the exception rather than the rule. Along with collegiate education, however, we have generally retained the idea of requiring experience in the business world as a qualification for commercial teachers. The reasons for these changes should be obvious— a need for better teaching. The task of the commercial teacher of today is a difficult one. Objectives arc generally not clearly defined, the curricula are unbalanced for present day needs; there is divided leadership in the profession itself, and there is still a tendency to regard commercial education as something different from education in general. Until these problems, and other newer ones, have been solved, the life of a commercial teacher must be a busy one. Whether or not it is a happy and successful one depends entirely upon you as individuals. 21 Robert J Ernst RITA PAULINE BELANGER Littleton, N. H.

In these days of strife abroad and social readjustment at home young people arc searching for reliable leadership to guide their thought. They will turn quite naturally to you who have chosen teaching as your profession. What an incomparable opportunity you will have! Do you possess the equipment necessary to meet this challenge to your most concentrated efforts and planning? Have you learned to keep yourself emotionally stable in the face of war hysteria and social upsets? Have you convictions, a desire for noble living through habits of decency, kindness, and self-respect? Have you learned to like life for its own sake, to enjoy the satisfaction of doing a job a little better than you thought it could be done? You who have so trained yourselves will be able to do much for those who put their trust in you, for you will be able to extend to them the tools of courage and hope, kindness, common sense, and human understanding, with which they may build up sufficient readiness for the strain of life today 25 Bertha E.

It is those Training School seniors collecting books and papers, putting that straggly hair in place and adjusting that crooked seam. From one minute to one minute and a half later finds these people madly dashing to the site of the day’s activities. ❖ 5- What better way to start the school day than to spend an inspiring hour with Mr Speare in which we learn some of the finer techniques of pedagogy? It hardly seems possible that we same seniors are the people who only last September looked forward to our training period with great apprehension and wonderment. After the bewilderment of the first day or two, we became orientated to the classroom procedure. We have been indeed fortunate to come under the supervision and influence of Mr Speare and the Training School teachers. We find ourselves deeply indebted to them for their kindly suggestions, their patience, and their guidance. The training period of this year’s seniors was concurrent with the completion of the new school building which gave us added incentive to join those already there. In the Training School, we have a splendid opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the various traits and characteristics which arc a part of each child’s personality It also gives us a chance to apply psychology in the many different situations with which we have to cope. We had long looked forward to the day when we should stand before a class as teachers. That day was realized and upon our return to classes we found ourselves more appreciative of our own classroom teachers. It made us alert to certain happenings which previously would have gone unnoticed. After eighteen weeks of thorough training we feel we are capable of putting into practice the knowledge we have gained during our four years at Plymouth. Now we look ahead to that day when we shall take our places alongside those who have proven themselves worthy of the teaching profession. From four o’clock on any school day these same seniors may be seen trudging back to Russell House laden with books and papers. It won’t be long before they’ll be planning their work for the coming day—each day a step nearer to their goal—leading and guiding the children of our elementary schools. Marion Finnigan Deborah Stone Dalton Dalton, that spot on the map, that region of the unknown to all but a fortunate few, and last but not least, one of our training schools. For three years we look forward, both with interest and fear, to the time when we shall go out and practice our teaching on the youth of our democracy As freshmen, training seems to be in that deep, dark future, but suddenly it is upon us, and there we arc—in one of the training centers for eighteen weeks. Shall we ever forget that first day, how we hoped that—maybe we wouldn’t be able to go to school Monday; or maybe the children would all be cherubs, or better still, that we would be very positive with ourselves and say, “I know I’ll be the winner!” In Dalton we all had our fears, but more than anything else, curiosity “Dalton is not the quiet place it appears to be, for underneath all its quietness there is 35 PLYMOUTH TRAINING SCHOOL 36 a seething social life that is ready to grasp you in its clutches.”—(Walter Scott) Dalton High School, with its 69 typical American boys and girls, is the place of importance to the cadets. We shall never forget the noises that came from the four corners of the Senior Room, the elastics and bobby-pins, and above all, that sea of innocent faces! How many times have we heard, “Mr Carter never went by rows,” “Miss Renfrew and Miss Belanger never made us do that,” and all the other suggestions the students made in trying to get around the cadets. That was when we had to stand firm and at the same time wonder—shall I follow them or dare I be original? Only time works out that problem! 1 am sure that we cadets will always hold first in “Our Memoirs” the eighteen weeks with Miss Taylor as our guide, Dalton High School, students, and people of Dalton—and now there goes that gong! Bernice Couhie Orford High School The morning of January 29 broke cold and clear, and Orford High School was privileged to gaze upon a new group of teachers, who wore countenances calm and self-assured, yet who were inwardly torn between apprehension and determination. By nightfall, we, the new cadet-teachers of Orford High, had found in that vague and rather meaningless word, teaching, a clear and more intense meaning. In one short week we had dropped the habit of thinking of ourselves as students. Our shoulders straightened, our heads lifted,—we were teachers now Sometimes, however, when we took a backward glimpse at carefree school days, we were tempted to pinch ourselves to see if we were really the same people. The end of the day meant more work to be done; it meant also a pleasant meal around the big table at “the house,” which soon came to be “Home,” with the sharing of the day’s problems and comic situations. Here we lingered long, reveling in the relaxation of the hour after a busy day Soon, however, the axiom of many a teacher, “To teach, one must know,” would come to us, so off we would scurry to our various corners of study At last we know what it is to be teachers—a goal we have aspired to for many a year To be sure, there are disillusionmcnts and discouragements, but the feeling that we have accomplished some task attempted and that we are doing something worthwhile, more than offsets the other Bethany Mason Hancock High School Practice Teaching! I'or three years and a half we have heard, “When you get out practice teaching you will have to do this or that.” I’ve often wondered just what this experience really was. After practice teaching in Hancock for eighteen weeks, I would say that the following are the things that make up practice-teaching: 1 Getting acquainted with the Keene cadet teachers, who seem so willing to welcome the one Plymouth girl into their fold. 2. Being nervous and perhaps a little timid as to whether you have the authority to tell the pupils what to do. 3. Waiting for those visits from Mr. Skelton, and also a word of encouragement that he never fails to give. 4. Then there arc those conferences held once a week in which the capable and 37 efficient Miss Manchester does everything she can to help improve our teaching. I shall never forget many of the suggestions she made. 5. The times when the pupils do all they can to co-operate with you and the days when they seem to want to do just the opposite of what you want them to do. I shall never forget many of the amusing situations they furnished. 6. Lesson plans and unit plans. The problem as to what the objectives should be and what subject should be taken up next. 7. Getting acquainted with the people of the town. The people of Hancock arc always finding something to do that will be fun—sleigh rides, dances, tobogganing, etc. 8. Value of the many friends that arc acquired. 9. Coaching basketball, plays, and helping the pupils out in extra-curricular activities. 10. Finally, the feeling of satisfaction that you are really reaching the goal you set up three and one-half years ago. In conclusion, I should like to wish everyone who goes out practice teaching all the success in the world, and even though the path is very rough at times, one will always find long stretches of smooth road. Katherine McConnell 38 ORFORD HAMPSTEAD — DALTON DEAR SENIORS OF 1940: ALUMNI In behalf of the Alumni of Plymouth Teachers College I extend to you a most cordial welcome to our ranks. Each addition to our association means greater opportunity to carry abroad through our State the splendid ideals for which our Alma Mater stands. This responsibility is now yours, not only as teachers of future citizens, but also as leaders to whom every citizen looks for inspiration and example. Wherever you are, whether you continue to teach or to become home-makers, you will find that your education has prepared you to serve, and there is dire need today for the right kind of leaders and workers. I believe the finest compliment any alumnus can be paid is to have it said that he or she has undertaken a just share of the work of the community in which he or she lives. Part of our duty as graduates is to keep our interest alive in Plymouth. One way to do this is to go back frequently As time goes on we hope there may be a “Home Coming Day” each year Even as we need to know what Plymouth is doing, so do her students need to know that the alumni arc vitally concerned in her activities. Another way is to associate ourselves with the alumni unit nearest us. As graduates may your highest hopes be realized, your dreams of service come true, and your loyalty to Plymouth and her excellent standards bring supreme satisfaction. Most sincerely, Alice K. Simon, Pres. P T.C.A.A. History of Our College The original Act for the establishment of a State Normal School in New Hampshire was introduced in the Legislature by Hiram Orcutt, representative from Lebanon. The bill was passed by Senate and House, and approved by the governor July 2, 1870. Trustees were appointed and places considered. Notice was given for proposals from towns, corporations, and individuals. Several towns responded, but Plymouth’s offer was best and was accepted. The Holmes Academy, that was just below the Court Street tennis court, was used for the school, and the “boarding house” (that was very nearly where the present school building stands) was used as a home for the pupils. My home was the teachers’ boarding house. The school was opened March 15, 1871, with eighty boys and girls in the Normal department. The trustees elected Silas H. Pearl, A.M., as principal, and Amos Hadley, of Concord, as associate principal. In 1872 an addition was made in the rear of the Academy building and the roof was raised. Charles C. Rounds, A.M., Ph.D. was the fifth principal. He remained thirteen years, adding fame to a well established n stitution. He raised it from weakness to strength. Art and Domestic Science courses were added. During Dr Rounds’ administration the present school building was erected and the wooden dormitory, the land for which was given by Mr Amos Kidder, a citizen of Plymouth. Later this dormitory was moved across Highland St., and forms a part of the Pemigewasset Hotel. Mary Lyon Hall was built in its place. The eighth principal is our Dr Silver, who raised the institution from school to Teachers College, besides making many other improvements. 40 Caroline R.

Our social and economic systems are in upheaval as attempt to adjust our institutions to changed conditions. Democracy, the political theory which apparently reached its height directly after the World War, is assailed upon all sides by new doctrines in which men sacrifice all freedom for a promise of security Change does not necessarily imply progress. A mere statement that all conditions are not the most desirable, without logical suggestions as to methods of improving regulations, amounts to nothing. Demands for practical anarchy in which liberty would degenerate into license arc puerile. Ridicule in order to cover our own failings in dutiful obedience or in social personality only tends to exaggerate them. Laws arc necessary to curb those persons who through personal selfishness or irrational acts would mutilate the rights of the group to satisfy their own ego. Until all citizens have reached a stage of development in which regard for common privileges governs their action we must make haste slowly lest we stumble in attempting would-be progress. In attempting to hold high the torch of individual rights, we must keep vigil lest we lose sight of the basic axiom of democracy, tolerance. We may hold certain truths to be self-evident, but one of these fundamentals is the belief that each group of individuals has a right to decide for itself its own theories of personal freedom and government. We have plunged into condemnations of race, social customs, opinions, and environment which arc not warranted by actual conditions. The fallacy of origins holds us by the throat and strangles us with prejudice. Art is art, be it Russian or French. Music is beauty, be it German or Polish. Culture knows no race or creed unless bigotry blind the eyes of those who claim to be made outcasts because of family or race. They show their innate worth by trying to rise above the conditions from whence they come. Where is our boasted democracy if we allow such things to make opportunities unequal? I wish to express my gratitude for the honor you have bestowed upon me. Together may we labor that in our tiny democracy, at least, the candle of democratic tolerance may not be snuffed out by the fingers of bigotry and jealousy 46 Norton Bagley Our Governor PRESIDENT SILVER AND FELLOW CITIZENS: Governments have always played an important part in the development and progress of nations and countries. Today every group or organization realizes that in order to function properly and to fulfill its purposes and ideals, it must be governed in some way or other We in America prefer democracy, that kind of democracy which can do its work well only when each citizen feels that he must do his share in developing and maintaining good government. Surely in our American democracy it is most important that young people learn as early in the game of life as possible to govern themselves and to take on responsibility and positions of leadership. And where is there a better opportunity for this than right here at college? A short time ago, at a conference on student government, Dr Day of Cornell University stressed the importance of gaining experience in democratic living while acquiring a formal education. He mentioned three necessities in the process of democratic living. First, the art of critical thinking; second, the exercise of appropriate individual restraint; and third, the assumption by individuals of a personal responsibility in political affairs. Dr Day believes that the most important benefit to be gained from the whole program of student government is the carry-over into community life. Therefore, it is extremely important to make the government program a live and vital one, so that participation in its activities may be comparable to a training school for good citizenship. Our success as members of society could easily be determined or measured by what we do with our privileges of student government. But we say we want more privileges because we deserve them. We must, however, prove that we are worthy of more privileges by first making the most and best of the ones we already have. For do we ever stop to consider that many of the privileges which we now take for granted were, not such a long time ago, only dreams of other student bodies? I accept the trust which you have given me and will try with the help and co-operation of each and every citizen to make student government here at Plymouth Teachers College a thing of which to be proud.

The Prospect Yes, P.T.C. has her own college paper, issued weekly We named our newly-launched effort for a former P.N.S. paper, “The Prospect.” It took some time for the timidity of the students to disappear, but now we can safely say that even the shyest are feeling the thrill and exultation of seeing their masterpieces in print. The editors can now walk through the library without having would-be contributors run and hide in fear We brought “The Prospect” to life, now it is up to you to carry it on to a fuller and richer life. 60 Arlene M. Whittemore THE PEMI Plymouth The sight that lay before my eyes O’erpowered my brain as I stood there, On that great trestle and gazed below Into the maze of hues so rare. The great expanse of deepest blue, Mingled with reds and yellows fair, And birches covered with hoary dew That stretched and trembled in the air The river on its endless way Slowly swerved to gaze anew On valleys mature and fields arrayed With golden tints and scarlet hues. Slowly it stretched its weary arms O’er the wide and green-clad way, While in the distance the mountain peaks Towered on all as if to say, “This is God’s land, where men shall roam Amid the glories that they call home.” Clarence Gay 61 P. T. C. Carnival When there is white snow on long hills, and more white snow lies deep in the woods, and rivers and ponds arc white with ice, then it is carnival time. So Plymouth Teachers College set the day for its first winter carnival—February 10, 1940. The first sign of the event was unusual activity on the campus grounds. Merry students in ski suits romped on the lawns, and stirred up the snow, once so smooth, piling it and patting it until it took recognizable shapes. On Russell House lawn appeared that antarctic bird whose back and wings were blacked with paint borrowed from the art department, and which the seniors fondly nicknamed “Penny ” On the other side of the walk the seniors built the three baby penguins, Jimmy, Jacky, and Junior There were complaints that all that could be seen was a pile of snow However, the seniors were not responsible for other people’s lack of imagination. Then there were the fascinating dwarf, Dopey (or was it Doc?) and the impressive lady in old-fashioned dress, Ferdinand the Bull, and freshmen’s polar bear and church, the boys’ skier, trylon and pensphere, and all sorts of thrones, maps, and wild animals. Townspeople and outsiders stopped to look and stayed to wonder P T.C. was showing its talent. At last the day came, and girls whose faces had never before been seen on Saturday morning showed up for breakfast. At Langdon Park, before time for the skating events to begin, the early arrivals had to clear several inches of snow from the pond; but when all arc young, and there’s going to be fun, who minds good outdoor work? Onlookers enjoyed the skating races, but they enjoyed most the hockey games between boys and girls, an amusing game played with brooms. One is never sure he has the puck when he plays with a broom. The lunch served in the open, before the snowshoc and skiing events took place, was memorable because it was good, as all outdoor meals arc and always will be. If you have never tried racing on snowshocs, those who raced that day can tell you it’s tricky, especially when you try to race backwards (the secret—pick up your “heels” and don’t go faster than the snowshoes). The skiers, both boys and girls, showed a great deal of grace and skill in downhill and slalom. Our college has a right to be proud of its skiers. The eventful day was not yet finished. An entertaining evening followed with a banquet and ski dance. A happy coincidence placed Lincoln’s birthday and carnival day only two days apart on the calendar, so the banquet was in honor of Lincoln. Tall Leroy Smith, as Lincoln, presided over a program of music and talks. At the ski dance the names of the winners of contests were announced, and the cup was awarded to the sophomore class. The spirit of gaiety and fun seized everyone, until even the faculty joined in the old-fashioned dances as well as the usual dancing. A high place of honor should go to the King and Queen of our first carnival. The credit for the great success of the day goes to the careful planning and hard work of Clarence Gay, Miss Hodgdon, and the committee. May all future P T.C. Carnivals be as successful as this first one! 63 Helen Thomas SKI HEIL HERE AND THERE UNDERCLASSMEN SENIORS PLYMOUTH MARCHING SONG ever more.
