Rowan College - Oak Yearbook (Glassboro, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1947 volume:

Loved school, it is thine to impart to thy youth The wisdom within thy fair walls; May we daily teach others with courage and truth The lessons we learn in thy halls. Thou art more than a plan; thou art more than cold stone; And the standards we raise in the years ' neath thy dome Are the standards for which we shall fight. Thou art spirit and beauty and light, t PRESENTED BY THE SENIOR CLASS NEW JERSEY STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE CLASSBORO NEW JERSEV 4 Miss Merriman, it is an honor for us to have the opportunity of dedicating our yearbook to you. As you leave formal teaching, we are entering that field with a fervent desire to bear on high the torch entrusted to us and to do our work as nobly and courageously as you have done yours. At times we feared your disapproval, but because of it, we grew, for as we sat in your classes we acquired something more than just subject matter. All of us enjoyed the spice you added to geography by inserting human interest and personal experiences. We value the advice and teaching suggestions which you gave us, for we found them to be practical and effective. Last of all, we admire you as an individualist — your delicate manner with its firm character background. Because of the deep im- pression you made on us, you will live in our memories as an inspira- tion urging us on to our best. With love and appreciation, we dedicate the Oak of 1947 to you, Ethel G. Merriman. Out of the lire and earthquake shall arise a new world, strengthened in peace. It was in this hope that the class of forty-seven strove to maintain the ves- tiges of a normal college life in a time when our country was disrupted by external and internal strife. Endeavoring to continue our college traditions we adapted them to the wartime pattern. The dramatic club with several individual performers turned their talents to entertaining at local convalescent hospitals. The college students fell in whole-heartedly to support the War Bond drives, helping to win for the college the Minuteman Flag. One of the dormitory recreation rooms was donated as a first-aid room for the American Red Cross and many of the students further supported the drives by soliciting for funds. The peace, which came in forty-five, set a new pace for us to meet, but with the cooperation and spirit already shown, the class set forward on a new path. Many of the boys who had served with the United States Armed Services joined us, bringing a taste of pre-war campus life to the college. The noon-hour juke-box dances took the place of the noon-hour sessions with V-mail paper and overseas letters. The college outdoor play returned, featur- ing in its cast a majority of the newly acquired male talent. It is for us in the future to prevent for the children we will be guiding such a period of heartache and horror as the world is presently struggling to erase from its memory. We have been more than adequately prepared for this task by our college teachers, who have been an inspiration to us in the dark war years and the tumultuous early days of peace. With thanks in our hearts we face the future years with this thought in our minds: Go thou and do like- 4 The Class of Forty-Seven 1 THE FORGER OF MEN Smeltered ore to torge the steel, For timbers a giant tree, And a man to guide the girdle and span, Or the bridge would never be. He builds horn a jumble of rivets and bolts Of timber and steel and rod, And his building proclaims that his mind is linked To the mind of creative God. Crude human ore at the schoolroom door, And the bridge of life to span; The teacher copes with slag and dross And seeks to forge — a man. He The lull free run of the mill he knows, But warm is his heart and kind, For he deals not in metal or sodden clay, But the God-given fabric of mind. He visions a time when the children of earth Find each their place in the sun, And as bolt or mighty timber, ieel A content in work well done. Out of the dreams of the past he builds For a world he hopes will be, And he forges a chain in the flow of thought That links with eternity. Edith Leonard 1 1 THE OAK SONG On our campus, towering tree, Stands our oak, majestic tree, Guardian of integrity, Ever strong, oak tree. Chorus: Sing a song, a melody, And let echo rise to thee, Ever strong, oak tree. Beauty rare, thy spring green shows, Fall with red, thy toliage clothes, In our hearts forever glows Memory, oak tree. Summertime, thy bounteous shade, Wintertime, gray branch displayed, Pattern for lite made clear in thee, Long-beloved, oak tree. When we think ot college days, When we sing our college lays, We will not torget thy praise, Ever tair, oak tree. Dr. Harold F.

Senior Adviser Behind the aims and aspirations of the Class of 1947 at Glassboro, there has been an outstanding personality who proved to be a genuine friend to us. Many of our best endeavors throughout our years spent at G.S.T.C. were inspired and guided by our adviser, Mr. Carey. He was never too busy to give sympathetic understanding to our problems, to help us set high goals, and to work with us in attaining these goals. Through his constant aid we have accom- plished a unity of purpose and action. In our classes with Mr. Carey we learned not only the technique of working with tools, wood, metal and cloth, but we learned how to work or live with people, for from Mr. Carey there radiated a warm feeling of friendliness, sincerity, helpfulness and fun. To Mr. Carey goes the deepest apprecia- tion from the Class of 1947 for being the ideal combination of adviser and friend, and for helping us to build bridges over our problems. 16 Class Officers ( 18 -IX, Ml 20 3 THE Edith Williams CLASS OF 1948 We ' re at the door; our road is ciear. The Class ot ' iorty- eight. The Class of forty-eight came to G.S.T.C. with high hopes and full of enthusiasm. They have co-operated energetically and willingly participated in many of the college activi- ties. With the coming of peace, the Juniors have grown larger in their enrollment. Many veterans have chosen Glassboro as their haven of learning. The class excels in dramatic ability. They reopened the outdoor theater with their grand performance of Rip Van Winkle. The forty-eighters are capably led by Betty Herbst, assisted by Miriam Edwards. Edith Williams is the scribe, while Evelyn Vincent takes charge of financial matters. The class, under the able supervision of their faculty adviser, Lester Bunce, has made col- lege life more enjoyable for everyone. ' Lessons ot hie to keep with us when college days are past. THE CLASS OF Ushered in on the wings of a new world peace came the class of 1949. With a return to normal this class has been able to enjoy the activities which were not enjoyed by the present senior class. We are happy that things are back to normal. In their freshman year the members of the class gave a play entitled The Third Floor Front. This was the first production since pre-war days to be entirely student-pro- duced and directed. Congratulations, class of forty-nine, for a highly successful per- formance. With such a start big things are expected of you in the future! May you, under the guidance of your president, Alcina Zimmerman; secretary, Anne Lawrence; treasurer, Frank Johnson; and class adviser, Grace Bagg; reach the high goal toward which you have made a glorious start. The power ot an institution lies in its youth. Carry on, Class ol 1950. THE CLASS OF 1950 After several years of steadily diminishing numbers in incoming freshman classes the 1950 freshmen burst upon us in an over- whelming flood. Staggered by the size of the class, two times that of the few previous classes, the upper classmen took time out to regain their composure and survey the situ- ation. The dormitories were filled and overflow- ing; classrooms sprang up where only empty space had been before. Five new faculty came in to handle the surplus students. With the new freshmen in the dorms came a new dean. Ginger ' s familiar bark was re- placed by that of a little Boston Bull. From Geneseo State Teachers College in New York State came Miss Reade to take over the mothering of one hundred-odd girls and boys, the majority of whom were freshmen. Social life blossomed on the campus once more. Every night, it seemed, something was going on before 8:30, which was the new study-hour. To the seniors, hard at work in their responsible practice teaching, this ac- tivity was like a long-sought goal. How lucky we felt to be able to go back to enjoy even just a few months of this real college life. To the new freshmen is given the oppor- tunity to enjoy a college life unmarred by war or worry over loved ones. May they flourish and bring honor to G.S.T.C. in the four coming years. 32 THE VETERANS ' COLLEGE— CLASS OF 1948 Veterans College With the opening of the fall session of 1946 came a completely new innovation into Glassboro in the form of over one hundred men, all veterans of the recent war. From a college nearly devoid of the male sex, G.S.T.C. blossomed into a truly co-educa- tional institution. The noontime jukebox dances took on real meaning. Now there was someone to dance with. Weekend so- cials became the order of the day instead of an unusual treat. The date-bureau of for- mer years became a memory; a somewhat poignant memory to the Class of 1947, who sponsored three of their four class dances with this method of manpower as the most important element toward the success of those dances. With the Veterans ' College came five new faculty members. Miss DiCatania came to start a course of studies in the Romance Language. Mr. Campbell took over Dr. Haupt ' s freshman science classes, as he took the new Veterans ' classes. Dr. McCobb taught the higher mathematics and Mr. Pea- cock instituted a new course of study along commercial subject lines. Our old classmate, Sam Porch, returned to us as an assistant in the Physical Education Department. Although the veterans plan to be with us only two years we certainly hope they find it possible to remain long after that. We seniors, who are leaving the college in January, appreciate what this new fresh- man class, girls and veterans, has already meant to Glassboro. We hope that this grand start will be carried on. Best of luck in the future. Hsi JbuildA fiwjm a purnhh d$ Jiiv Ia and JboliA . . . . Dr. Edgar F. Bunce President Dear Seniors: Again another group oi fine young people leave our college to be of serv- ice to the world. We regret losing you irom our midst, as we have enjoyed working with you, but we know that you are badly needed as teachers in New jersey schools; so we are content. You have co-operated as a class with the college and state authorities in an admirable manner and it is my hope that you will always keep this tine spirit oi co-operation and loyalty which are so tundamental tor success and happiness. You have given evidence ol ability and skill in your preparation lor teach- ing. You do n ' ot, however, know all that you should know, so I sincerely hope that you will continue to study, to observe, to experiment, and to give your best each day. Sincerely yours, EDGAR F. BUNCE, President Winans. His guidance in the classroom and in practice teaching situations has been most welcome to us as we emerge from the embryonic stage of student teaching to full-fledged teaching. The class of 1947 will remember Mr. Winans not only for philosophies in the classroom, but also for his humor and sensible judgment in and out of the classroom. The record of placements of Glassboro students in the teaching field is admirable. It is largely because of Mr. Winan s knowledge concerning the field that this is true. We hope that we may continue this record, making it more successful as the years pass. It is our sincere hope that Mr. Winans will enjoy many more years of suc- cess at G.S.T.C. 36 if -i w mil mi - — i «iii imi«nW ' 1 ' Vf r ■ m n i n M R.

After a desperate five-battle struggle, the lis emerged victorious. Hockey It ' s a short corner! Come on, Duble, let ' s rush that ball out of here! This was a famil- iar yell from Stewart to Duble in many a var- sity hockey game. A previous schedule including games with nearby colleges was, of necessity, dropped during the war. However, the spirit so com- mon to girls who love this exciting game kept them out on our hockey field. Games with high schools in the vicinity gave the G.S.T.C. team something to work for. The Class of forty-seven was well repre- sented on the varsity team. It was a familiar sight to see Dora Placendo following through from inner, Marie Duble driving free hits from her center halfback position, Dot Stewart in fullback territory, Kay Wil- liams at halfback, Hannah Erringer at wing or halfback, backfield player Mildred Joyce, and fullback lean Robie all driving and drib- bling from every corner of the held. We are particularly proud of a special group of hockey enthusiasts in our class. Remember that famous Section II team from our Freshman and Sophomore years? The II ' s usually had an easy job of con- quering the other two sections and becom- ing the championship team of the Class of forty-seven. After these victories the hard work began. In our Freshman year the II ' s had a struggle! After several tie-games they were finally defeated by a team from the Class of forty-five. With the true spirit of the Class of forty-seven, the II ' s came back the following year and defeated that same forty- five team. The forty-seven II ' s = Champions! Basket b Bounce, pass, now shoot. No, not that way; like this. Come on, at least hit the back- board! Bounce, pass, pivot, shoot ! Keep that pivot foot still and your eye on the basket! Keep shooting; maybe one will go in any- way. Luck, you know. Just keep fighting for good old G.S.T.C The G.S.T.C. varsity basketball team had a successful season in the year 1945-46, though there were a few set-backs among our many victories. The members of the team will remember the close games with Glass- boro High and the fast-moving games with Gloucester. Until our Senior year there was no com- petition with local colleges because of trans- portation difficulties. In our Senior year a more complete schedule was arranged, thus making daily practice worthwhile. The Class of forty-seven was represented by four forwards. Since it is impossible to nil play with four forwards. Dot Stewart fre- quently played guard. The forwards were Marie Duble, Mildred Joyce, and Jean Robie. It was a familiar scene to see Duble tossing those one-handed shots through the rim. Middy was there to catch the ball the few times it did not go in and toss it up again. The Class of forty-nine was well repre- sented on the varsity. Charlotte Roberson and Alice Jones awed many of the visiting forwards with their towering statures. Basketball for girls is an excellent game. The girls not only learn the techniques of the game but qualities of good sportsmanship. There is more to a basketball game than just winning. They nef us many a victory in basketball. Tennis Summertime is tennis time for this game ' s fans. Almost any- hot afternoon Middie and Janet can be found practicing serves or putting Esby hard to it to hold his own against one of them. Wartime cut -down the tennis regulars considerably, but during spring gym classes, the game held its own as the most popular sport. With the return of veterans several new stars appeared on the courts. Wifh spring come thoughts ot love dis- guised as a f e n n i s game . . . And Cupid ' s pastime is not neglected. Some- one may be wounded. Swish! Zing! Bulls-Eye! . . . These sounds resound from the archery range, as this sport gains in popularity throughout the entire college. If the thud of the arrows draws you closer, you will find the archers practicing diligently. Some are learning to get the bow in readiness, others are improving their aim, while still others are proudly pulling their arrows from the target, near the bulls-eye. We are sure that the latter group will steadily increase and archery will become a competitive sport in the near future. 48 I It ' s springtime. Out come the balls and bats. One of the many intercollegiate sports discontinued during our time at college was baseball. A spark of its life was kept alive in intra- mural games. The section teams carried on a schedule of games after school. During our sophomore year a few girls or- ganized to make a softball team but found few local leagues to challenge. Tumbling Although we received much exercise from our regular gym classes, many students participated in individual sports. Some brave students found tumbling a fascinating sport and were eager to learn all the tricks of the trade. The tumbling group met once a week under the supervi- sion of Mr. Roland Esbjornson. They learned all the intricacies All through the day there are excited whisperings about the much dis- cussed prom. We attempt to be nonchalant and carefree about our prom and pass it off as just another dance, but this can not be. The hours spent making decorations and fixing the gym make it more than an ordinary dance. With the big night under way, laughter and friendly chattering fill the transfigured gym. Intermission causes a rainbow-like display of gowns to file out of the ballroom and to fan out through the lobby. The chance comes to peek again into the mirror, to apply those needed repairs, to take the pause that re- freshes and to chat man-to-man and girl-to-girl. All too soon the prom has arrived and all too soon it has ended and left in its place a memory of gay voices and sweet music. Cinderella and her Prince Charming have seen with nostalgia the close of their college prom. The cellophane costume of tomorrow We shall always remember the musical chimes which in- troduce many an interesting program to the Glassboro stu- dents. Student participation makes these exercises truly meaning- ful. Announcements . informing school members about various activities give many an oppor- tunity to cultivate poise and correct expression. It is interest- ing to note how well the seniors speak as compared to the ex- treme nervousness they exhib- ited as freshmen. There are opportunities for listening to excellent lectures which broaden us culturally. We will remember long the hints of people in the teaching field, and the inspiration of per- sons who have achieved fame in other professions and who found time to give us encour- agement in our assemblies. Bathing beach bombshells Assemblies Well remembered will be the assembly e ntitled a Typical Women ' s Club Entertain- ment, which gave a true picture of a female gathering and its outcomes. Equally good was the Junior Fashion Show consisting ot models of clothing dating from 1890 to the present, with characteristic actions and ap- propriate music. Winter Sets In was a true comedy. Since it presents such valuable and varied experiences, assembly becomes the most an- ticipated part of the day. A fashion pageant over the years Old j tf Jths dhsjamA oft Um pa i . All of us look back on the sports of our college days with pride and pleas- ant memories. There are at our college a wide range of physical activities — intramural and individual. Each student may select what interests him. Our techniques in a variety of games and sports are emphasized in the regular re- quired gym period. The varsity teams provide opportunities for those who are skilled. Out-of-doors in the fall, the athletic field is a scene of inter-class games in hockey and soccer. Beyond the field are the tennis courts which are occupied when weather permits. During the winter months attention is concentrated on formal drill, calis- thenics, indoor baseball, volleyball and other group games. The gymnasium is well equipped for these indoor sports and apparatus work. Moreover, the ex- cellent gymnasium floor makes dancing particularly enjoyable. As spring advances, we return to the outdoors. The favorite events are ten- nis, baseball and archery. It is also during this time that we have our annual Spring Festival, which is held on the athletic field. All of the students partici- pate in an afternoon of events efficiently directed by Mr. Esbjornson, the Phy- sical Education instructor. A real spirit of fun prevails. These varied sport experiences have much value; they make for a wholesome and interesting life. The opportunity to make many varied friendships is one of the greatest benefits received from college life. There are many activities to foster this at G.S.T.C. The college presents new situations and responsibilities to the stu- dents. The various clubs enlarge on special hobbies of the individual. Everyone is given his choice as to which club he will join and comes in contact with others who have similar interests. 54 A typical practise teacher and her first class Practise There is one thing that every student at G.S.T.C. looks forward to with great anticipation. This is the long-awaited term of prelimi- nary practice teaching. In April, 1946, we Juniors faced our individ- ual schools as young warriors of the Orange and Brown, and found that our minds were filled with such things as management, units, papers, and reports. Learn by doing : that was certainly our motto then. We pos- sessed grand ideas of progressive education. We were convinced that we were God ' s gift to the public schools. After a few days we weren ' t so certain that this was true. Nevertheless, we plunged deeply into our work. The fruits of our labors began to burst forth. We could see Johnny improving in his reading, Mary ' s attention was becoming much more complete, and even shy little Virginia was beginning to take a greater part in the activities. We became conscious of our growth under the efficient guid- ance of teachers in the field, and recognized the help given us by our supervisors. Our leader ot practise teaching, Mr. Winans Teaching During the same year we assumed our second challenge, which consisted of six weeks of teaching, now referred to as responsible teaching. With previous experiences as an asset, we faced this with ease. In future years we may look back on many of these experiences with a smile. However, they were a vital part of our education and paved the way to our profession. On the President ' s Reception Atternoon Tea Gowns, graciousness, greetings! It was the President ' s Reception — the first since our arrival at G.S.T.C. It was an event which had always been a highlight on the social calendar, for the President ' s Reception provided an opportunity for furthering social con- tacts among Dr. Bunce, the faculty and students. Good afternoon. Will you have cream, lemon, one or two? And that ' s the way it all begins. As meek and mild freshmen we were initiated into the formal social activities of G.S.T.C. with a tea. This occasion provided an excellent oppor- tunity for us to become acquainted with Dr. Bunce, the faculty, classmates and upper classmen. Since then, teas have been a special afternoon treat. Pleasant music, cheerful company, a cup of tea and delicious cookies! What could create a more charming setting for a delightful afternoon? Faculty-Student picnic Comic Ballet at picnic JFesiive Side If one were riding by on a certain day in the spring, he would see beau- tiful dancing girls and hear gay folk tunes. If he stopped he would hear lovely singing by the Glee Club. If he came in he would see The Man Who Married a Dumb Wile. That should be hilarious. And it was! In the testive mood Tr ips Red letter days of our college career are those days on which a group of us leaves classes behind for a day and sets out to ex- plore the world. On a typical trip we jour- neyed to Philadelphia by train to get an early peep at Reading Terminal Food Mar- ket. Did someone say there was a meat shortage? After ice cream at 9:00 A. M., we started for the University of Pennsylvania for our intellectual dose. Stone carvings, wea- pons, peculiar jewelry, and other ancient relics reminded us that we are neither the first nor the only pebbles on the beach. The mummies were as thrilling as dead objects could be, but since we decided we would rather be alive than dead, we went to eat. What food! At Shanghai Gardens we dined d la chinois with bamboo shoots and chop sticks. We visited the Chinese Catholic Church. One of the Sisters escorted us through the church and school and explained the work and some of the problems encoun- tered. Then the visit of surprise. At the Franklin Institute we heard our own voices, and found that our fingernails glow. Most aston- ishing of all, however, was our trip to the moon. What an idea for our next vacation! A tired group of people we were when we decided to eat again. At the Sansom House we had a Scottish waiter who gave us first-hand information about Highland kilts. They are fine when the wind blows, but when it rains, and water drips from the hem, they ' re — well, they ' re not so fine! The perfect climax to our adventure was the Ballet Russe. Our reaction to field trips: When is our next one? Chinatown! Here we come! Pity Bill ' s car Lake Garrison is a haven in hot summer session. Dewn School We learn by doing. This statement would not have been so readily carried out if it were not for our Demonstration School with its efficient faculty. The Junior year, when we could spend more of our time observing in the Demon- stration School, was eagerly awaited. The direct experience with the children was even more exciting. Especially delightful were the observa- tions in Mrs. Reick ' s room, where her humor, coupled with the children ' s naturalness, brought about many very pleasing lessons. The Indian play by Mrs. Saindon ' s chil- dren was a new experience for many of us and showed the possibilities of good teach- ing. The Junior II ' s spent most of their psychol- ogy periods with the children of Miss Fin- ster ' s room. What a difference there is be- tween watching a good lesson and teaching a good lesson. Miss Lockey ' s children surprised all of the Junior Ill ' s by knowing more about science than many of the college students. The seventh and eighth grades of the Demonstration School hardly had a chance to become a going concern when it was nec- essary to discontinue them. In their brief time they contributed a fine spirit to the school. Our pride was mixed with sorrow at seeing the last eighth grade graduate from our doors. The Demonstration School assemblies were among the fine contributions of the year. Once a month the children presented a program connected with their unit of study at that particular time. To Miss Everts, principal of the Demon- stration School, we owe a debt of thanks. Not only was she an efficient principal, but the Junior I ' s will testify that she was an ex- cellent teacher of classroom methods. She will remain an example to all who hope t o attain principalships some day. We hope that the Demonstration School will continue to help and inspire others. Christmas in the dorms is the gayest time of all the year. Hilarious trips to gather holly and a tree are followed by a big night of trimming. The final week before vaca- tion is filled with mystery and hilarity and culmi- nated by a grand dorm dinner and unit party. The first snowfall at the dorms is a sign that winter has truly arrived at Glass- boro. By this time studies are well under way and the holidays ahead are eagerly anticipated. We sorrow to see the glorious autumn leave our campus, but the first snowfall brings a thrill to every- one. Any night on campus a pinochle game may be found in session in some unit. Study hour at eight cuts short any living room games but if you look carefully you will prob- ably find the game contin- uing in someone ' s room. The show must go on 62 A girl ' s room reflects her personality. In the dorms this could really be true. The soft frilly look of a dainty girl ' s room con- trasts the tennis, hockey, basketball look of another girl ' s room. Who will for- get the No Parking signs or Home for Keeps pictures all about the walls? A heavy snowfall in the dorms brings the girls out in full-force to roll snow- men and their mates; de- feat the boys in a snow- ball game and try the sledding. True sculptural talent comes into the fore as Mrs. Snowman appears complete with red hair and eye glasses. A gab-session in some- one ' s room is a part of dorm life. Out come candy boxes, latest love letters and the best of the gossip in local dorm circles. This talk-fest may end sud- denly with an adjourn- ment to the Rec room for dancing or go on into the night. 63 Camp Savits We ' re off to Camp Savitz! Hurrah! Many a group has hailed their departure for the school camp in just such a way. Since the dam went out several years ago Camp Sav- itz has been sadly neglected. This past year, however, saw a revival of the back-to-na- ture movement. The 1945-46 Oak I girls were the pioneers in this great drive. We of the dorms will long remember their ardent pleas for any old furniture, rugs, or curtains. The caravans of girls and boys on their way to camp with buckets, pails, paint brushes and cans of paint were a symbol of the determination of Glassboro students. Gradually the old farmhouse took on a new and brighter as- pect with newly Kemtoned walls and cleanly scrubbed floors. The camp was well into the process of rejuvenation when sum- mer vacation came to interrupt the girls. But the Senior Ill ' s were waiting, ready to carry on, and during a weekend of their summer session they packed as many of the bare necessities of life as they could into two cars and set out. The first job under way was supper and repair work by the men on the victrola, which was minus an arm, the organ and piano, which w ere mi- nus sound. The tired hilarious group which arrived back at Glassboro Sunday afternoon will vouch that the camp is a worthwhile project. A debt of tharlks is owed, too, to Miss Peg Densmore for her help as chaperone in re-making Camp Savitz. It was her en- thusiasm in large part that helped re-create interest in Camp Savitz. 64 f ; CLUB NEWS 65 Music to wash away the dust of everyday lite !:::•!•••:::::::! Glee Club A tew can touch the magic string And noisy Fame is proud to win them, Alas tor those that never sing, But die with all their music in them. Oliver Wendell Holmes The Glee Club is popular among the fac- ulty, students, alumni and friends of the college. It has the largest membership of any elective group. The meetings are held once a week under the direction of Florence Dare Boyd. This organization practices faith- fully so that it may add to the distinction of the college. The Glee Club always takes a significant part in the Christmas Program and the Spring Program. The graduating members of this group will carry with them many beautiful musical memories that they have gained through this club. Group singing is an es- sential part ot every activity at Glassboro. The Student Council consists of the Presi- dents of the classes and of the sections within the classes. It is to these people that we look throughout the year for guidance and help when we have problems. The democratic beliefs of our school are aptly put into action by the Student Council. As representatives between the students and the faculty, the members of this body carry student suggestions concerning classroom problems and college improvement to the adviser of the group, Dr. Bunce. With the guidance of Dr. Bunce these stu- dents have accomplished much in the way of ideal student government. Always willing to listen to every student problem and to of- fer his aid, Dr. Bunce has given us all an example to follow in our own teaching. Dr. Bunce, adviser of group Mary Louise White of 1946 President They only know what they read in the paper. Journalism ' Plus keeps us up on the latest One of the essentials of a college is pub- licity. With this in mind the Journalism group is organized. This group in its monthly meet- ings collects all items of interest in the school, for example, achievements of various students, and distributes them according to the home town of the student. They are then sent to local newspapers and to the home town newspapers of the students concerned. It is then necessary for the members of the group to watch the newspapers and clip out any items of interest to the college students. The front hall bulletin board is kept well supplied with news by the Journalism group. Here may be found items about students in the college, former students, college social events, and, of course, engagement and marriage notices. The Journalism group works in coopera- tion with the Public Relations Committee in helping to acquaint the public with the col- lege. They have advertised in local news- papers for the social events of the college. Last year they participated in the High School Day of the college. Miss Bovard, as adviser of the group, checks all out-going articles and helps the girls keep on the track of news coming in. The committee had a fine representation from our class in our last year here. Let us hope it may continue its important service to the college in future years. 68 ■■}  ; . m ' .-gy ti + ■ J J  4. . ■ | M i ..k They print all the G.S.T.C. news that ' s fit to print Whit Miss McElwain lends a helping hand.

Garretson, members of the photography classes have learned the subject from loading film, taking pictures, developing, enlarging, toning, retouching, and slide making to the intricate planning, directing, and color photographing which terminated in an excellent college movie. The members of the class have been very helpful to other college groups in making pictures and slides for use in classes. The southeast corner of the basement floor has been converted into a photo lab with mod- ern equipment that is always in use, even late into the night. This progressive group of students has certainly contributed much to our college and we look forward to even greater con- tributions in future years. mm m t r -mk jl -m n wf Mb An exhibit by the Photography Group This group will snap your pic ture and develop it too.

Oh, no, these words do not come from the mouths of G.S.T.C. students condemning the opposite sex, but these are the words of one of the college ' s prominent, dramatists por- traying the role of an eccentric reformist. Faithfully the Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Tohill, has arduously la- bored to present only finished products of the finest caliber. Their earnest endeavors to present only the best in dramatic presen- tations has been a factor which has made their organization so vital to the college pro- gram. The necessity for long hours of re- hearsal has not altered their enthusiasm for dramatic activities. At special holiday or anniversary celebra- tions the Dramatic Club has played an im- portant part. However, they did not confine their abilities to these college activities alone, but journeyed out to donate their dramatic efforts to many worthy causes. Be- fore many appreciative soldiers in General Tilton Hospital, Fort Dix, the group presented plays and monologues. The Thespians of Glassboro State Teachers College Dramatics The club has studied characterization, stage direction, costuming and make-up. As a result of these studies they have enlarged the costume wardrobe and have presented many student-directed plays in assembly. They have also had experience in panto- mimes and monologues. The work and achievement of the Dra- matic Club has not only been an asset to the college, but has developed in each mem- ber a dramatic skill of great value to be used in teaching.

The Association for Childhood Education is a professional organization whose mem- bership is open to all students and teachers who are interested in young children. It is the Junior and Senior Kindergarten-Primary groups plus teachers in the field that make up the present student branch of the A.C.E. under the guidance of Miss Ora Lee Everts. The purposes of the association are to fur- ther professional improvement and fellow- ship through forums, publications, and con- tacts with state and national groups for the promotion of better educational opportuni- ties for children. Miss Everts, principal of the Demonstration School, has been adviser since its organiza- tion in 1935. The club elected as its officers for the year of 1946-47 Margaret Sloan, Pres- ident; Jane Richman, Secretary. The other officers will be elected later in the year from the Junior class. Many types of activities are carried on during the year by the organization. In the 1945-46 year the A.C.E. sponsored a ballet entitled Christopher Columbus, presented by the Edwin Strawbridge Company. Through the efforts of the A.C.E. members and the co-operation of the college adminis- tration the ballet was a success. Spurred on by their previous success the A.C.E. spon- sored another ballet by the Strawbridge Company entitled Daniel Boone during the year 1946-47. The organization also sponsored boxes of toys, books, and supplies to be sent overseas to needy countries. Each year ' s program includes many meet- ings of a social and educational nature. Those of the organization are always fortu- nate each year to be audience to members of the teaching profession who are in the field and are qualified to present a picture to us of the profession. The Association for Childhood Education is growing every day for the improvement of the teaching profession. What could be stronger than a staff ot Oak? The Oak Staff of the Class of forty-seven got off to an early start on their yearbook in March, forty-six. Everyone in the class was assigned to a committee of their own choice. Our yearbook materialized under the effi- cient leadership of Jean Evans, editor-in- chief, who put forth unlimited effort to make it successful. Mable Ireland and Edith Evans were appointed as her co-editors. Jane E. Gullett and Angela Martino took over as chairmen of the features and activities arti- cles. The class photographer, Anita Ricci, handled the photography angle with real efficiency. Dora Placendo, as chairman of the art committee, took over one of the hard- est pieces of yearbook artwork that has been done for some time. The business committee functioned smoothly under the command of Mary Ed- monds and Carolyn Bishop. Hannah Er- ringer, chairman of the advertising commit- tee, carried through one of the hardest jobs of the whole staff. Doris Craver and her typ- ists rallied to the final job of preparing the typewritten dummy sheets. With the issu- ance of the books, B. Jane Richman ' s circu- lation committee saw to it that everyone received a copy of the 1947 Oak. How about page (hir y- our? Is that finished? Editor Evans and the dummy THE OAK The 1947 Oak started life with two strikes already against it. Time was the greatest shortage, and a summer session presented another great problem. As soon as the staff was assigned, work began. Contacts were made with the Campus Publishing Company and the first dummy sent to them. Mr. Wolff from Zamsky Studios in Philadelphia spent two lovely March days on the campus, and the staff breathed a sigh of relief as the class pictures and group photos were fin- ished. A good start had been made. When we returned from practice teaching for summer session, the hard work really be- gan. Jane Ellen and Angie got their com- mittees busy and the articles began to pour in. Mable and Edith took over the hard job of editing and correcting these articles. Dora Placendo ' s art committee did one of the best jobs on the yearbook. The sketches of the seniors meant many hours of hard work by Eleanor Bende, as did Dora ' s p lates for the dividers. Several nights a week were spent by Anita and Bill Greenhalgh taking and devel- oping photos. Everyone in the class owes Anita a vote of thanks for the long hours of tedious work to get those photos in. Any senior can testify to the difficulty of raising ad money for a yearbook in the summer. The heart-rending job of door-to- door canvassing eventually added up to our goal of five hundred dollars. Though we lived through a period of fear and trembling, the Class of forty-seven came through as usual with the quota and the yearbook was safe financially. What a relief when the last picture went into the hands of the publisher. Upon return- ing to the college in October after our re- sponsible teaching, the final barrier of proof reading had to be hurdled. Words are not written that will express the staff ' s happiness at seeing our yearbook finally in the hands of the college students. We catch the photographer at her own game. {Catherine Williams and Jack Cain- Sue Waldman and Ben Schrieber oH tor a buggy-ride. O Our yearbook would not be com- plete without mention of those of our number who have done what comes naturally. Bill Chafey was the first of our number to take the pathway to the altar. Dorothy Winder came to us with a diamond sparkling on her finger. Coryn Kooker traded her Annapolis pin for a diamond in our sophomore year and Janet Shew followed almost immediately. In our junior year Janet returned to us as Mrs. Arthur Lum. Daras Savitz won her fraternity pin in the fall of ' 45 and a year later a wedding ring followed as she became Mrs. Harold Kirsh. 3 Beulah Tessier and Howard Haines Comma Tlcrfc mfdy Dr. and Mrs. Harold Kirsh s? s? Janet and Art hum 0 Who will ever forget Beulah Tes- sier ' s star-gazing look the first three weeks she had her ring from Howard? When Jack came home everyone knew Kathryn would do as she did and we were all as thrilled as she when that diamond appeared on her finger. Shula Waldman just got under this yearbook deadline by announcing her engagement at Christmas. To all of you we wish the best of luck and happiness in the future.
