Glassboro Presents . . . i Ill GLASSBORO STATE GLASSBORO THE 1957 TEACHERS COLLEGE NEW JERSEY VISIONS REALIZED . We Dedicate Ideals originate in the mental shroud of worthy images. They are nourished by the encompassing web of their environment. Once born, they must be bred by a perpetual fire of inspiration within oneself and from oneself. They are delicate and fragile at birth, but. once firmly impregnated become immortal. Our ideals were conceived within our college halls. They were nourished by the echoing challenge breathed upon them by the transpiration of thought and the osmosis of responsibility passing through the shroud, from professor to student. The amoeba moved and engulfed its surroundings until it had shaped itself into its image. It lived, it grew, it breathed. Now it must seek itself out. The attainment of our ideal will now influence the ideals of others. Our role has changed from receiver to reaper, from carrier to creator. We go out with a rich past and a promising future. Within our hands will be the priceless putty of minds, to be molded and shaped by the skilled hands of educators. The expanding horizon is ours and our blazing sun must never set in the West, leaving naught but abject night. 6 President ' s Message Very few worthwhile things, of great moment, have occurred in man ' s history except as they were attached to ideals. Perhaps the greatest contribution that parents, churches, or colleges can make to young people is to provide them with ideals to live by. Those who enter teaching as a career, by the very nature of their choice, are susceptible to ideals. They are usually, in greater or lesser degree, already dedicated to the idea of devoting their lives to the enrichment of the lives of others. It is a wise man who knows that where he gives, he receives back more than he gives. He lives a rich satisfying life, in a world that he has helped to make better. Those whom you teach will learn best from what you are and what you do, rather than from what you preach. THOMAS E. ROBINSON 7 Class Adviser PARTHENIA VANDERMARK When the pages of our yearbook are well worn, and the pictures well faded, there will still be a fresh memory of our warm, spirited, and unforgettable personality. Miss Parthenia Vandermark ' s boundless enthu- siasm and endless class devotion inspired the Seniors of 1957 immeasurably. Her spirit was matched only by her unfailing determination to unite our class into a closely knit group. She did not fail, and we leave school with wonderful mem- ories in which Miss Vandermark will be fondly recalled as a first star on our expanding horizon. Class Advisor 8 Deans Education is exciting and teaching is fun! We know that the Class of 1957 will realize how true this statement is as its members enter the New Jersey public school classrooms for the first time as well-qualified teachers. You are entering a grand and proud profession. There is none better. ROBERT BOLE Dean of Instruction Integrity withaut knowledge is dull and useless; knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful. MARY ANN SHERK Dean of Women As one who was a public school teacher and administrator for 22 years before coming to G.S.T.C., may I congratulate you upon your reach- ing the threshold of the wonderful profession of teaching. I can assure you that in these days of ris- ing enrollments, the place and future of quality- teachers such as you will be, are assured. JAMES LYNCH Dean of Student Activities You are fortunate, Class of ' 57, for you go forth to battle ignorance and the crude shape that lurks behind civilized man. You go forth to be wanted, to fill a desperate need; to meet the challenge be- side gallant veterans in a noble profession. Be proud! 9 ALBERT SHAW Dean of Men Administrative Staff RUSSELL BERRYANN Business Manager 10 MRS.

Dr. Robert McCobb Historian Recorder Phyllis Sorgento Advisor Florence Sellers Pi Eta Psi Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, a national honorary society in education, was installed at Glassboro State Teachers College in 1953. This organization serves to recognize those who have attained high scholastic standards, participated in college activities, demonstrated qualities of leader- ship, and shown a sincere interest in education and its purposes. KDP serves the college in various ways, both educationally and socially. Among the activities sponsored by KDP are several annual affairs includ- ing the Dean ' s List Party, the panel discussion by seniors on Practicum and student teaching, the In- Service Institute, and the service awards assembly. Regular meetings which feature a guest speaker are also held. It is through these purposes and activities that Kappa Delta Pi has become an integral part of the college. SEATED: N. DeTurck, J.

This is an elected body acting as a guide and advisory board to serve all dormitory women. The annual Christmas Open House is one of the most gratifying enterprises of Council. During this past year, the Women ' s Dorm Council has initiated a monthly assembly of all the dormitory women. This meeting is designed to bring about an in- creased feeling of unity. It provides both the in- formative and entertaining aspects of dorm life in an informal setting. Council undertakes the sponsorship of many social aflairs and provides transportation for off- campus activities. This is an extremely active organization which has taken on a tremendous responsibility. Its success can be attributed to a conscientious group working in close cooperation with the advisors.

The strong issue for next year will be the solving of problems brought about by the increasing growing pains of the college. Student Council, with cooperation from other organizations, will iron out the expected wrinkles from an increasing en- rollment and the extended class day. The outlook for Student Council is a good one, using the potential here in our college. Hard work and cooperation from the complete student body, will help this good outlook to become a reality. 56 The Glassboro Whit, official college newspaper since 1938, is currently a monthly publication which is edited and controlled by students interested in and having talent in any phase of the journalism program at G.S.T.C. The organization acts as a communicating agency between G.S.T.C. and other groups and colleges. The Whit publicizes news- worthy persons and activities on campus and keep; a historical record of events at the State Teachers College at Glassboro. Among the activities and accomplishments of the WHIT during the past year were: Adoption of Korean War victim Yon Bok Kim ; first hand interview with Hungarian rebels at Camp Kilmer; initiation of plans for the annual Whit trip for all newspaper staff members; and finally, the winning of a first place award at the Columbia Press Asso- ciation Press Conference in New York.

The philosophy around which the organization is structured is proclaimed in the guotation Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. The debut of the Choir came with the Open House program in which many experienced for the first time a presentation with the Concert Choir and the College Orchestra combined. Next came an exchange assembly program at Paterson State Teachers College. This was followed by the program for the Association of the Children ' s Clinic in which each member of the Choir had a unique experience in performing before Governor Robert Meyner and Dr. Fred Raubinger, State Commis- sioner of Education. The concluding program for the season was the Annual Spring Concert.

Club this year was the sponsorship, along with the Social Studies Department, of the Mock Presidential Election held in November. The other activities scheduled for the year helped the organization realize its objectives, one of which is bringing an awareness of current affairs in the United States and other countries to the attention of college students. The student is also enabled to see by what methods current events may be incorporated into their teaching situations. The schedule of the events included: Mrs. Olga Buranyi, personal experiences in her Escape from Hungary ; Captain Lee Martin, former NATO officer at Ishmir, Experiences in the Holy Land ; and John Browning Ross, Olympic track star, A Trackman Abroad. 63 Assembly Committee Many fine assemblies were viewed by the stu- dents this year. Among those being William Carlos Williams, a prominent poet; Minna Blau, Artist in the Dark ; and the Mount Union Choir. The Artist Series consisted of five concerts. The Philadelphia Civic Ballet Company gave the season a splendid start. The angelic voices of The Colum- bus Boychoir were brought to the college as a second treat, followed by The Woodbury Sym- phony under the direction of Dr. W. C. Pfleeger.

The Primer, issued every Monday, is an answer to the events of the week and is G.S.T.C. ' s way of publicizing various events. This committee in the past has prepared exhibits and demonstrations. One in particular was the demonstration for the N.J.E.A. Convention held in Atlantic City this year. During 1956-1957, the committee has worked in a new area, photography. This will result in producing a set of colored slides depicting the campus and various activities. These slides would be shown to groups interested in the college.

The Health and Welfare Committee worked at the problems of the conditions in the Snack Bar, encouraging students to follow the rules for proper care of it. A new system was instituted of joint faculty and student committees making monthly inspec- tion tours of all buildings. These committees consisted of an administrative staff member and two students, so that difficulties of safety, sanitation and welfare were immediately made known to the staff members responsible. Mr. Samuel Porch com- piled a questionnaire and check list that covered many of the areas that should be checked. The Committee is formally raising the question as to the need for better student participation in self-government through committee membership, with various classes and with the Student Council. 66 Decoration Committee OFFICERS President Barbara Feiertag Vice-President Jayne Connelly Secretary-Treasurer Mary Roosevelt Advisor Miss Vandermark The Decoration Committee strives to help, take part in, and supervise or organize the decorating for any special event held on campus.

Under the able direction of the editors and committee heads, the many tedious and time-consuming 1957 Year- book assignments were completed. Picture schedules and copy dates had to be met. Typing, proofreading, and many other activities which involved long hours of work finally saw order evolve from chaos. Contributing to this wealth of material were certain unique personalities. The first type of writer was Per- sistent Pattie who was easily recognized by her armful of manuscripts and the familiar cry, Ready to go to the printer? Leading the caravan was Merry Mert, seen al- ways in his yellow convertible Piper Cub. We can ' t forget Mischievous Marty who after weeks of searching was finally tracked down two days before the deadline engrossed in copious study. Of course there was Good- natured Gordon, whose ideas flowed so quickly that some never got down on paper. Following very activity, but always out of season, came our crime photographer, Antagonizing Ann, the picture scheduler. Rush-away Reynolds appeared on the scene in his role as The Wild One Pensive Phyllis and Blueprint Barbara held tightly in hot, little fists their art entries to Mad Comics. To Bewildered Betsy keeper of the bank- roll came and disappeared large sums of money. Agile Art bounded from tennis court to printing press murmur- ing something about using Yearbook money to restring his old tennis racket. And thus the battle raged on — the ceaseless battle which absorbed every minute of many working days — the battle which caused sleepless nights — the battle to amuse, interest, and please the student body. It is the fervent hope of the staff that the Oak of 1957 will serve as a continual link between members of our class and our Alma Mater.

Coach Samuel Porch found that he had more men interested in the game than pos- sible for participation. Although the team did not have a winning record, it showed great team spirit, get up and go, and all around enthusiasm. For a beginning team coach Porch found the Profs had acquired a great skill and understanding of the game.

While attending college, he was a member of the North team in the annual North-South game.

From the first broken bat in the spring practice until the last out in the final game, the 1956 season was the scene of another baseball success. Glass- boro had a good hitting team and a strong pitching corps which resulted in the DVC title. Two of the men responsible for making the Profs mound crew a strong one in the chain were Pete Hitchner and Leon Florek. This season thirteen veterans and five Freshmen carried the G.S.T.C. standard through the fifteen game slate, including six DVC contests. Pete Hitch- ner, Leon Florek and Joe Brzozowski rounded out the mounded staff. Bill Datz, Will Hull and Lee Palo handled the catching duties. Bill Horton, Ed Asay, Tom Makin, and Joe Brzozowski gave Mr. Porch a well manned infield. Tom Baldosaro, Jim Baine, Ira Kochel, and Don Pasquale took care of the outfield chores. 86 Tennis The eight men representing G.S.T.C. in tennis wars this season were chosen by Coach James McKenzie. The squad was dominated by underclassmen, Art Koll- mier being the lone senior representative. The other members of the squad consisted of; Lou Mazzola, Paul McBride, Tel Klepac, Don Fleiscer, Jim Scott, Bud Parks and Bob Kinch. The Profs ushered in the season with visiting Bloomfield Collo ge. Intramurals . . . Ping Pong Women ' s Intramurals Barbara Bond and Ann Clayton try their hand at ping pong. Ann Vize, Marlene Vogel, Jackie Jones, Elaine Conte, and Kay Andres are prepared to retrieve Betty Lloyd ' s foul shot. 89 W. A. A. In The primary purpose of the intramural program is to encourage all girls, regardless of experience or ability, to participate in a wide variety of sports. In this manner skills and confidence are developed. The range of activities is extensive including in- dividual, dual and team sports from hiking and tennis, to speedball. Many other sports are high- lighted throughout the year. With Spring so comes the bicycles Batter up! 90 Action Class and varsity teams are chosen at the termi- nation of every team sport while competition on an individual basis is keen for dual sports. Each sport is organized and run by managers from the WAA, with the guidance of the advisor. Teams from other colleges are often invited to the college for games with the varsity groups.

As the class of ' 58 we look back on many accom- plishments during the past three years. The annual Sadie Hawkins Dance was planned and sponsored by our class as the beginning of a most eventful year for the juniors. Our most important project this year was Junior Week. Cycle in Clef, our class assembly, was an imaginative musical pro- duction and was very well received by those at- tending. The banquet and dance were also spon- sored as part of our Junior Week. At the Freshman-Sophomore Prom we danced to the strains of Stardust, played by Bill Mueller ' s band. Another feather in our bonnet was the Christ- mas Banquet preceding the Christmas holidays. This was the year of practicum and an intro- duction to our senior student teaching. Sophomore OFFICERS President Paul McBride Vice-President Ernie Trebing Secretary Marcia Catando Treasurer Ann Caruso Willingness to learn, ability to teach. In September of this year we, the class of ' 59, began the activities of our sophomore year. The Freshmen were rushinq around campus wearing dinks and holding doors for everyone, this was the result of our Freshman Orientation Program. 98 In February we held our class week, highlighted with a play, The Roaring Twenties, The class banquet following the Roaring Twenties theme proved very enjoyable and a successful dance climaxed the week ' s activities. During the All-College Weekend we sponsored another dance, Jamaica Farewell. ' Attended by many of the college students, calypso music and decorations transformed the cafeteria into a Jamaican paradise. As the grand ending of an active year we spon- sored Lantern Night, a tribute to the seniors. 99 Union Gives Strength September found us, the freshman class, timidly scurrying around campus wearing our dinks and plaguing upperclassmen for their signatures. Our first responsibility as a group was the Masquerade Dance which proved a tremendous success. 100 Class Just before the Thanksgiving Banquet, another successful event planned by our class, Stardust fell over the Vineland Armory as the night of the Freshman-Junior Prom approached. Arou.nd the World in Seven Days was an ideal theme for our Freshman assembly and class week. At our banquet the cafeteria was transformed into a ships dining hall. The final climax, our class dance, carried out the theme in true tradition. 101 Retrospect) wmm ' He listens to good purpose who takes note. Learning makes the wise wiser, and the fool more foolish.
