Mary Lyon in Spring THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Wc live today in a world where the rate of change has been accelerated to such an extent that one of education’s main aims must be to assist the individual in developing adaptability. The age of atomic energy, jet propulsion, television, synthetic fibres, and other rapidly evolving discoveries in the world of material things demands a teaching profession alert to capitalize upon these advances. We have discovered more in the past quarter of a century about the reasons why humans behave as they do than had been discovered in all the history of mankind previous to that time. Wc know, however, that some things are timeless — the need of humans for love, security, adventure, acceptance and approval by their fellow men, and guidance from some superior power. To help others to use wisely the accumulated wisdom of the past to help us with present problems and to predict the future — that is the challenge facing the members of the Class of 1953 as they go from Plymouth into the fields of service and growth in a great profession.

('Business Education Business teachers arc facing a problem that has been present for many years, but is more acute now than ever before. The business world is demanding more and better trained students all the time, while many of the schools arc placing in business classes students who are unqualified to do the work. Because of this, standards have had to be lowered. At the same time, business leaders have demanded higher standards. Therefore, it is up to us to do a terrific selling job, not only to the pupils to increase their standards, but to the schools for better guidance. When, and if wc ever accomplish this momentous task, wc can concentrate more on better and improved teaching, which is our real goal and desire; for above all we arc teaching pupils, not subjects, and wc arc teaching them to fit efficiently and effectively into our modern business world. These are the principles upon which our business program is established. HERBERT S. FAY Ski Club 2; Student Council 2. Bristol ARLENE R. JETTE Lisbon F. T. A. 1; Choir 1, 2, 3; Science Club 1; W. A.

That's locked with a rusty key, On rainy days, I creep upstairs, And nobody misses me! I play I'm a dashing buccaneer, 'Fite chest is filled with gold, I order my men to guard it well, For I’m a pirate lx ld! Grandpa’s cane is my trusty sword, The attic floor the sea, Sometimes I’m so wicked, That my crew is afraid of me! I’ll spoil the fun, if I look inside This chest that’s worn and old, It’s really tilled with Granny’s clothes, And not with pirate gold. Marion K.

As a result of four years intensified training in the Held of education, there is an increasing awareness of the heavy resfwnsibility that befalls the teacher in executing this premise. Vie suggestion of this idea, if not its actual statement, appears in every phase of our curriculum. Iking not a static entity, but a delicate and flexible tool, education must make rapid adjustments to adapt itself and those it serves to a world of varying tempos. During the last few years at Plymouth many advancements in educational thought have been witnessed which, in turn, have brought alfout pronounced revisions of approach, material, and ideas. It is hoped that we, as teachers, may always remain young in mind and progressive in a day of continual change. 28 BARBARA J. ARMSTRONG Plymouth Choir i, 2; Plymouth Players 3, 4; W. A.

In order to meet these challenges and provide our children with the most modern, qualified teachers and curriculum, Plymouth Teachers College inaugurated its first full year graduate program in September 1950. The primary function of the graduate program is to allow competent liberal arts colleges and secondary curricula graduates to enter elementary education. The secondary function of the program is the broadening preparation for educational and community service on a higher level and the working toward the Degree of Master of Education. Seated: L.

Miss Altlcn, not specdball! However, they soon began to enjoy this sport in spite of the many bruises they received. 'ITe sophomores and juniors were both defeated by the professional skill of the invading freshmen All Stars. Soon basketball started and four Varsity games were played, two with Keene and the remaining two with Colby Junior College. Intramural and interdass games arc always sport highlights at Plymouth Teachers College, and they showed good sportsmanship from start to finish. Following this the girls expressed great interest in volleyball, badminton, and softball. W. A. A. meetings were held regularly with President, Norma Wilkinson, presiding and Miss Aldcn acting as advisor. Thanks to the use of Miss Aldcn’s house and the new toboggans purchased by the school, the girls enjoyed the program set up by the W. A. A. this year. 40 Speedball First Row: J. Stewart, A.

Four freshmen — “Gcnna” Cannistraro, Ardell Welch, Jane Harrison, and Bcv Batchelor made up the rest of the squad. Another freshman, Anita Bincttc, capably substituted for Janice Homer who took leave at the half of the season. Tryouts take place each fall with faculty and student body members as judges. Girls arc chosen on the basis of pep, voice, and coordination. The seven girls with highest points form the team. Letters arc awarded to new members and bars go to the girls with one or more years of cheering. This year’s squad put in many hours of practice. The revision of old cheers and the introduction of new cheers along with new uniforms helped make a better squad. B. Batchelor, J. A. Welch, J. Harrison, B. Callaghan, A. Parent, G. Cannistraro, A.

The only two clubs that had the edge on Plymouth this season were St. Anselms and Gorham. Plymouth split with Keene and North Adams, while defeating Farmington, Salem, Merrimack and R.I.C.E. twice and Willimantic once. For Plymouth, Verne Bryant, Ernie Beals, Larry Baillargeon, Frank Bruni, Wayne Willkic, Bill Marston and Ed Kenney were the backbone of the team. Losing only one man from the starting five, the prospects for the next few years look very good to Coach Foley. Baillargeon, Bruni, and Willkic, all freshmen, made the transition from high school to college ball with ease. For the second year in a row Plymouth was runner-up in the New England Teachers College Conference behind Gorham, the defending champions. The Junior Varsity was able to win five games while dropping two to Gorham. The wins were over Keene twice, and Newmarket and Ashland High Schools once. For the J.V.’s, Art Morrill, Ronnie Coffey, Gil Chandler, Francis Morin, and Bill Cole were the stalwarts. 44 45 Baseball Spring practices for baseball were among the first signs of spring around the Plymouth Teachers College campus this year. Coach Foley and all baseball aspirants started practice early to prepare for their usual difficult schedule. Only two men, Slug Day and Wilbur Mixon, were gone from last year’s starting team. The pitching department was well taken care of by ace Bill Marsion and “Lefty Callahan. Vern Bryant was the receiver in most of the games. The infield was as strong as ever with such stalwarts as slugging Ed Kenney, Dave Dole, Ernie Beals, Ray Angers, and Wayne Evans. Positions in the outfield were capably filled by Denny Dearborn, John Matthews, Roland Stickney, Chub Morin, and Chuck Isola. Dick Parker and Gib Chandler were catchers who aided Verne Bryant in the catching department. With last year’s championship record to uphold, our nine went into all their games with great determination and did a job for which our college was proud of. First Row: R. Kenney, V. Bryant, W.

FRESHMAN Short stop for the Alma Mater ... WEEK Courageous to the bitter finish 48 Halloween The usual host of goblins, witches, or what-havc-you provided an appropriate atmosphere at the annual Halloween Banquet. Reigning over these spooks were the six ghosts, represented by Hug,” May Turner, Nank Thompson, Barb Callaghan, Rusty Blodgett, and Betty Dion; Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, portrayed by Jan Dcscoteaux and Nan DuPont; and a gypsy in the person of Connie Johnson. Following the awarding of prizes for these costumes, the Halloween activities were brought to a close with a dance in the gym. Club 53 On a cold, rainy November night the students of Plymouth Teachers College were drawn by the sound of a magic gong to the warm, tropic shores of French Morocco. As the guests entered the dimly lit Morocco Club, they were greeted by the Sultan of Morocco, Dick Fish. Native women in colorful garb bowed the guests to their tables arranged around the dance floor. Palm trees, other native flowers, rugs, and mats were used to bring the desert to the Morocco Club. Entertainment and music for dancing was provided by the five swingsters from Bristol who had been imported to the club especially to provide the background for an all-star cast. Sheik, Ken Pickering, and the members of his harem climaxed the night at the Morocco Club with their interpretation of the Sheik of Araby. Needless to say, all were reluctant to return to the storm and cold of Plymouth after the warmth and enjoyment of Morocco. Holiday Hop The spirit of Christmas visited the campus of Plymouth on Saturday, December 20, when the lobby of Hall Dorm became the scene of the Holiday Hop. Red and green streamers were used along with Christmas trees to decorate and provide the background for this joyous festivity. The music of Arnic Adams and his orchestra and the songs of Mr. Robinson and Chuck Isola helped to make the Hop a memorable occasion. Favors and refreshments were provided for the enjoyment of all. The dance was climaxed with the grand march when the lobby resounded to the noise of horns, bells, and the joy of the Christmas season. CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES Ah! the Christmas spirit! Just before the mob descended 52 Hug entertains Freshmen in action Time to cat again 53 Victorious! Carnival Weekend Once again good weather prevailed and our Winter Carnival was a success. First honors in the snow sculpturing competition went to the freshman class for their timely statue — The Lowly Worm. Taking second place was the senior sculpture, a tombstone erected in their memory, while third and fourth honors were taken by the junior class with their German Stcinkrug and the sophomores with their crown on a pillow. Climaxing the weekend events was the Carnival Ball which was well attended. The Coronation was one of the most impressive ever witnessed by Plymouth Teachers College. Their majesties, King Jack and Queen Alfa, gracefully approached their coronation scat, a silver sleigh, where they were crowned King and Queen of the Winter Carnival of 1953. After watching the entertaining mock basketball game between the boys and girls in the afternoon, the spectators were thrilled Saturday evening by seeing the Plymouth varsity pile up the highest score in history against .North Adams. now. •' IV'„'.V J!ri °ne” exchanged ocf 5Yoni. tI1 |M Second Model United Nations (General Assembly held May i, 2, and 3, 1952, at Plymouth I cachcrs College.

Student Council Proving its effectiveness by meeting with the Accreditation Committee of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education with favorable commendation, and by meeting with responsibility the pertinent questions of both students and faculty, the PTC Student Council has completed a most important year. Led by President Edward Desmond, ’54, the representative body on campus has shown that the democratic approach to any problem is probably the most beneficial in finding the answer that docs justice to all. Other officers included Robert Jackson, '55. Vice President; and Janet Stewart, ’54, Secretary-Treasurer. The cooperation that exists between the student body and the faculty probably can be surpassed by very few other college communities. 58 The Social Club The Social Club Council takes into consideration the need for college social life and plans all events with the objective of filling that necessity. With representatives including all ebss presidents, two representatives from each class appointed by the President, and the officers of the club elected by the student body, events for the entire college arc planned. Among this year’s outstanding events were the Holiday Hop, Carnival Ball, and the May Formal. The Hop, traditionally a formal affair, was held informally in the lobby of Hall Dormitory. The library was the scene of the most fabulous decor ever seen at Plymouth during the coronation of Alfa Bowers and Jack Elliott as queen and king of the Winter Carnival. Other activities sponsored by the Social Club included nickel hops, Halloween and Christmas Banquets, and introduced for the first time gambling on our campus in the form of Bingo. Seated: R.

The Plymouth Players This year the Plymouth Players have made great strides in popularity and achievement. Through the persistent work of its director, Roi White, and the club members, a great variety of three-act plays such as Moor-Born, The Dover Road, Noah, and, in conjunction with the choir, a one-act folk opera, Down In the Valley have been enjoyed. It is hoped that this last will set a historic precedent for an event that will be the musical and dramatic highlight of each year. The Players also joined the Choir in presenting a medieval miracle play — The Second Shepherds’ Play — for the Candlelight Service at Christmas. Many performances off-campus of each of the ten one-act plays presented in assembly were another outstanding feature of this year’s development of the Players. The ‘‘Oscar’’ for the year went to Suppressed Desires for its nine performances sponsored by outside organizations. This represents the most elaborate dramatic program ever produced in the long history of Plymouth Teachers College. The greatest asset for the club has been substantial financial backing from the Student Activity Fund. For this reason, equipment has increased and the choice of plays has been widened. Arena-style staging was further exploited and gained still more followers. The remarkable growth of the Plymouth Players has been impressive this past year and all look forward to another high-caliber program next year. 62 First Row: R. Eaton, E. Grant, N. Porrctu. |.

Future Teachers of America The Future Teachers of America Club has been under the leadership of Edward Desmond this year. Some of the activities which were sponsored by the Club were a one-act play, “St. Peter's Gate, directed by Roma Eaton Wing; two very interesting movies; speakers, and Visitors Day. Many members also attended the State Teachers Convention at Manchester. One of the main duties of this club is the recruiting of high school students to attend the teachers colleges in New Hampshire. 64 International Relations Club The International Relations Club has tried to achieve its objective of creating interest and understanding in world affairs by group discussions, student forums, movies, speakers, and mock elections. The highlight of this year's activities was the Third Annual Model United Nations General Assembly held at Plymouth, May 7, 8, and 9, which was attended by over one hundred and seventy-five high school students from two New England States and the Province of Quebec.

On Mountain Day this year the entire faculty and student body put classes aside to climb Grand View Mountain. Even though Mother Nature decided to send showers that day, the hike was enjoyed by all. The Winter Carnival, sponsored in conjunction with the Social Chib, centered around a day’s activities of ski meets and basketball games, and culminated with the Carnival Ball. In the spring the club sponsored hayridcs, mountain hikes, and various other outings. 66 The Christian Association The Christian Association is a fellowship of students and faculty who are united in the desire to understand the Christian faith and live the Christian life. This group has been an active organization during the past year, its meetings proving to be both stimulating and enjoyable. The various activities have included a visit to the Daniel Webster Home with gifts, taking charge of deputation teams for church services in the surrounding towns, Christmas caroling and a social, a visit from Rabbi Freedman of Manchester, and panel discussions on current topics. Joining the Student Christian Movement, which coordinates Christian organizations in colleges throughout New England, has enabled the group to further extend its influence. This membership makes possible participation in regional conferences and provides aid to individual groups. Sharing ideas and ideals through social and spiritual fellowship gives the. individual opportunity for a fuller realization of his hopes and aspirations. Thus one gains a more mature concept of religion and acquires a better understanding of the necessity for faith in the troubled world of today. First Row: Mrs. Walker, Advisor; J. Demag, E.

Seton Club The Seton Club, a club for all Catholic students at Plymouth Teachers College, was organized in 1940 by Father Adrien Verrette. Its purpose is twofold: first, to enable the Catholic students of the college to increase their knowledge of Christian Doctrine, and second, to prepare them for spiritual and moral ideals in their teaching careers. The club acts as a source of guidance for the Catholic students. The work is sparked by the interest and work of the officers and the advisor, Father Adrien Verrette, who helps the students realize their need for spiritual knowledge and grace. The needs of the students are met by the religious, intellectual, and social training offered by the Seton Club. The informal discussions of the club help each member in solving his personal and religious problems. The spiritual activities arc brought to a conclusion in June when graduates and undergraduates of the college arc given a final blessing by attending Mass and receiving Holy Communion in a body. ( 68 Science Club The first activity undertaken by the Science Club for the current year was a spaghetti dinner at the school camp. Since then regular meetings have included lessons in how to run the school’s motion picture projector, operation of still cameras, and film developing and printing. The first field trip of the year with members of the chemistry class included a tour of the General Electric Plant in Lynn, Massachusetts, and the Museum of Science in Boston. Other activities on the Club’s schedule arc a trip to the Dartmouth Observatory; a trip to the Brown Company, Berlin, New Hampshire; sponsorship of an assembly period; and the annual Science Fair.

Ski Club The Tccumsch Ski Club of Plymouth Teachers College has a fine group of shussboomers that have added much to the color of the winter sport. Ski trips to Mt. Cardigan, Rowe Mtn Snow Mt., and Frontcnac have been some of the special features of the club. The members include many novices who have progressed under club ski lessons, as well as intermediate and advanced skiers. Mr. Rabin as the club advisor and prexy James Darling have helped many to go from the sitz-markcr to the shusnut stage. With plenty of snow in the neighboring White Mountains, the club remained active until spring when it was off to Mt. Washington and the height of the skier’s paradise. 70 The Clock Surrounded by typewriters, mimeograph, and mimcoscopc, a group of bewildered people meet weekly in Miss Horace's workshop to record the passing pageant of Plymouth Teachers College. We arc referring, of course, to THE ('LOCK, PTC’s newly born newspaper. The paper came into being through popular demand of the student body. The aims of the paper arc to provide student participation in this journalistic endeavor, to disseminate news and information of current interest here on campus, and to lay the groundwork for a bigger and better school paper. The editor and staff of THE CLOCK hope that the gains made this year will be a step forward in achieving a strong school paper. Seated: Mr. Gumming , Advisor; C. Swetson, Assistant-Editor; E.
