Physical Education Physical Education should not be associated with some muscle-bound Individuals who have successfully chinned the bar, turned somersaults, and can do deep-knee bends. Physical Education tries to show the importance of phys- ical activity in the whole picture of the individual. Mr. Esby, Head of the Department, wth his too willing demonstrations In First Aid; Dean Reade with her well- remembered comparison of the automobile with the body; and Mr. Porch and his collection of health articles from Pageant Magazine; Miss Colvey with double cuts before the holiday have not only given us education for our professional lives but for our own lives as well.

Sellers. . t: ' iiii ' iii ' ' iiif- iiiiii Library Staff Upon entering Glassboro, we were given a course called Orientation. One of the composite knowl- edges we acquired from this course was how to find a book in the rather crowded stacks of books, in- struction in the use of card catalogues and maga- zine indexes. Here, we found works of poets and writers v ho through their own media express their views or merely present the facts on issues that concern us, the students of society. The library has big rushes, on Newsweek, the Russian novels, Stewart Collec- tion, and the Jersey Shore written by our own Doc Wilson, and whatever other supplementary reading is required. Thirteen

English You would be surprised to find out all the places we Seniors have been and all the things we have done through vicarious experience. The vicarious experience has been provided by reanns of paper printed with the best that has been said and thought in the world. We have quite literally drunk delight of battle with (our) peers far on the ringing plains of windy Troy. And the English Department feels that what we have learned, with pleasure we will teach. Mrs. Dora Lawrence, hiead of the Department, with her emphasis on the powerful aspect of literary achiev- ments; Miss Bovard, with her common expression of the heinous error of the comma splice; and Miss Tohill, with Now, don ' t be afraid-they ' re your friends; and Dr. McKenzie, with his repeated line, hiave confidence in me, exposed us to the literary achivements. Education We have a natural tendency to ask What do we have to take this course for? This question was uttered, mumbled, and shouted out when our schedule card had on It a stark titled course called History and Philosophy of Education. However, we found this course was not to be isolated from our lives, for the great advances in education from Socrates to Dewey was like a story of the perennial dilemmas of men. Dean Bole, Head of the Department, with his legal admonitions Don ' t touch those kids, Mr. Walker with Will the following people please see me, Dr. Linn with the whole child, Mrs. Saindon with learning experi- ence and ' group projects, Dr. Little with Is the child ready? Dean Mierzwa with Let ' s not be naive, gave us professional education with training of the mind to master our field. Twelve
