their class officers . . . Ernest R. Blake, Jr. President Douclas Robertson Secretary Harold Ancers Rita Blaney Vice President Treasurer and their history.......... In four years at Plymouth Teachers College we have made valuable acquisitions which cannot l e pried away from us—the procurement of friends, of social maturity, of mental prowess. These years have enriched us greatly. They have fortified us with knowledge; they have given us power to emulate our associates in the struggle for survival in the world beyond these walls. We remember the day of the first appearance of upperclassmen when we didn’t know exactly our plight. Since then we have obtained the enlightenment which is ours today. In four years we have developed socially and scholastically almost beyond recognition. We have made friends who will leave with us; we have made friends who will remain behind. But whether they stay here or leave, they will endure in our memories always. Just as we have taken with us a myriad of possessions of inestimable worth, so have we left something of value behind to be utilized bv our successors. Under our auspices the exclusive, exquisite CLUB ’51 has acquired a laudable reputation at the college. Our music-making trio has been introduced to other audiences. • • 16 •

The chorus, although it hasn’t had any actual offers of a position, has enjoyed popularity throughout the years since its debut. The club has auditioned and presented vocalists from other classes, starting them on their way to fame. The renowned Pemi Rhythm Bovs have been an inspiration to those who are on the first rung of the ladder of success. To the already distinguished and celebrated A Cappella Choir, which has focused attention on our school through its activities throughout New England, we have added many euphonious voices. We are represented in the smaller vocal groups also. In athletics our contribution has been of no less value or significance. In regard to competitive sports, women have been limited, but they have excelled in intramural sports— basketball, field hockey, speed ball, badminton, volley ball. Our men, who do participate competitively with other schools in basketball and baseball, have achieved a place for P. T. C. among the lx st. Worthy additions have come to us from other colleges to help brighten our future in athletics. At carnival time our class snow sculpturing has triumphed. We have, more than once, furnished the sovereign to rule over the carnival events. As freshmen, we had many liberal arts students among us. Some have transferred to other schools. Some were inspired to devote themselves to the training of America’s youth and have remained at Plymouth. Some secondary education students have taken advantage of the conversion program, upon completion of which they are eligible to instruct both elementary pupils and secondary students. During our freshman year the women inhabited Mary Lyon Hall while the men dwelt in Russell House and Hall Dormitory. The next year women surpassed the men— in number at least—and forced the less dominant sex out of Russell House. The House was renovated, and senior girls resided there for two and one-half years. With funds appropriated by the State, the third floor of Mary Lvon Hall was transformed from a dark attic into quite attractive rooms, done in pastels. Into these rooms moved the senior girls from Russell House. The only thing needed to avoid the long trek up those formidable stairs is an elevator. The rest approaches perfection. As the men and women moved their possessions from one dormitory to another, depending upon the percentage of male and female students, the commuters moved along with them. During our senior year our secondaries left the protection of the college, which has fostered them for three and one-half years, and entered New Hampshire’s secondary schools for a preview of the actual teaching of youth. They went north, east, south, and west and brought back to the college experiences to instruct, inspire, and amuse their associates. The elementaries had their student-teaching experience at the Plymouth Elementary School. We have all come to realize our responsibilities in the world of education. As we step forth into it—to fulfill our own general and individual objectives—it is with confidence in ourselves and our ideals that we go. We must prepare our youth to compete with their peers and to conquer the obstacles that stand in the way of their success and happiness. This we are anxious and ready to do. Let us remember as we journey forth— “Give plenty of what is given to you, And listen to pity’s call; Don’t think the little you give is great And the much you get is small. —Phoebe Cary Alma Chase and Ellen McClintock
