WELLES TI-IE PRINCIPAL Under Dr. Welles' wise leadership we have seen our school advance to the status of a degree granting institution. With the interests of the stu- dents at heart, he has built our school to a height of which we can be justly proud. An etlicient executive and a friend to every student, Dr. Welles nspires our respect and confidence. 'IO ROYAL F. NETZER DIRECTOR OF TRAINING Dr. Netzer, our geniai Director of Training, is a friendly companion as well as an adviser. Encumbered with the important task oi adjusting the curriculum, he seems never too busy For individual conferences with Iacuity and students. if PRINCIPAL- SCI-IOOI. OF PRACTICE With thoroughness and precision, Mr. I-Iolcomb attends to his double tasI4 of being Principai of the Schooi of Practice and head of piacement. I'Iis winning confidence and sincere friendliness are warmly appreciated by Faculty and students aIiIce. FREDERICK B. I-IOLCOMB -4 I DEAN CDF WGMEN DR. LUCY HARMON Enriched by much experience and many contacts with varied per- sonalities, Dr. Harmon has brought to Geneseo an understanding of student problems and an interest in student ambitions which have made her office a center of activity. 'IQ Back Row: Dr. Netzer, Dr. Richardson, Dr. Mau, Miss Rogers, Dr. Behrens, Miss Trumper, Dr. Greene. Front Row: Mr. Parry, Mr. I-lolcomb, Dr. Seger, Dr. l-larmon, Dr. Welles. lt's all in the attitude you talcef' Yes, class attitude weighs heavily in determining your Worth as a student. lt is only logical that the student who talces a genuine interest in his class vvorl4 and maltes that interest evident will earn a more desirable position in the class standing. Then, too, a lcnovvledge oisubject matter always is essential in maintaining that high average. For those unlortunates who have Found the C average unattainable there is the Faculty Council, that group of department heads, who set as their aim the readjustment of such Floundering individuals. The inside story is that the Faculty Council really attempts to help the belovv-average student analyse the snares which have made his school lite unsuccessful in an academic sense. These snares are many and varied, ranging from an over-laden extra- curricular program to an improper budgeting oi worlcing time. Opening the way to a new start For these students is the Councils chiei aim. The maintenance ol a high scholastic record is not the only raison d'etre oi the Faculty Council. The members of this organization are constantly striving For the betterment ot Geneseo Normal School in many vvays. Through their combined etiorts, scholarship and student liie here are being constantly improved to the benefit oi all concerned. se it FACULTY CGLINCIL it 'I3 Rap, rap, rapl 'The meeting will please come to order! With these familiar words, the presi- dent of Student Co-Operative Government opens the semi-monthly meetings ofthe organization. The entire student body participates in these meetings, which are held in the auditorium of Old Main. Such vital questions as recreations, reverse date weelt-end, the budget, library seniors holding Student Government otiices, and other general school problems vvere discussed and voted upon this year, amid much heated and healthy controversy. By having this form of government, the students receive much that is of value. Since they are closely concerned with the many problems at hand, they learn to malce Wise decisions, which will benefit the school as a whole and not just a few individuals. Free expression ol opinion is en- couraged, and this leads to a Final vote which reflects the opinion of the majority of the student body. Parliamentary procedure is closely observed, and this knowledge of the rules of order proves most valuable to the student body in other situations. Student government is the rule ofthe people, and under the guidance of capable leaders chosen by the students, the Geneseo Student Co-operative Government moves forward to more outstanding achievements each year.

The intimate friendships formed, the intermingling of varied nationalities and religions leading to greater tolerance, and the independence ol loeing on onels i own combine to malce student lile most worth-while. uk Naturally this new independent home lile has a lew restric- tions, which are made lcnown to all Cueneseo's newcomers. The blaclc-out ol lights at eleven-thirty, the dash to get in on time, the phone silencer alter eight, and those special late per- missions-all play their part in maintaining a normal existence lor the Geneseoites. Through the l-louse Presidents, Federation, the students pro- mote a happy medium ol lun and conformance to n ce sar s. regulations. fllfigllfjgrui' Back Row: Cunningham, Bowes, Anderson, Gilbert, B.

Tl-IE STUDENT COUNCIL Representative is Geneseo's Student Council. ln this organization representation really achieves its purpose. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors-all have important parts to play in this government ol the students, by the students and lor the students. Members ol the laculty also lend a helping hand to the Student Council. Student problems and their solutions are what interest the members ol Student Council. Exist- ing rules are pondered upon and sometimes revised that they may work more etlectively. New rules that are needed are discussed, drawn up, and put into practice. Social as well as scholastic atlairs are discussed in the lively meetings ol the Council. When the question at hand vitally aliects all the students of Geneseo, the Student Cooperative Government is aslced to help with the solution. With the Student Council and the Student Government vvorl4ing hand-in-hand, it is not difficult to arrive at an answer to even the most involved question. Through our Student Council the members ol Geneseo Normal have attained a feeling ol unity. We hope to achieve the goal which all schools are worlqing for: the greatest benefits For all students at all times. if 'I5 SCIENCE Dr. Hamilton Dr. Greene Dr. Megathlin SPECIAL CLASS Miss I'IeImich Miss Palmer Miss I'IaIsey Miss Braem Miss Eddy Miss Rhodes Miss Boles Mr. Miller EDUCATION Dr. Carbaugh Dr. Johnson Dr. Behrens Miss Northway Miss Miller Miss Fuller Miss Irumper Wgwf- ww w ww ww ww M, www.

Yes, the juniors are handicapped by size, but this handicap has not proved overwhelming. Gratefully, the class gives much of the credit for their success to Mrs. Rider, their adviserl With her aid, they have been able to carry on all the functions of the Junior Class quite admirably. When their right to nominate Student Government officers was contested, it was decided that, although the class was small, the president and vice-president for the following year should be members of the Senior Class, as has been the custom. Junior weelc again proved the juniors to be competent. Color day, the tea for the seniors, their banquet, and lastly, the Prom were all evidences of efficient coopera- tion combined with brilliant imagination. Yes, they have the power, a most successful year is ample proof of that. ir Smith, Sunderland, Klein 50 SOP!-ICDMORE CLASS Marilyn Coe Julia Palmer Julie Gorton l-larrison Phillips Miss Quimby ir Palmer, Phillips, Gorton, Coe.

Basom Geneseo Wellsville SGP!-TQMCDIQE HISTORY The First, real big class of good old G.N.Sf' toolc an important part in Geneseo life this year. lndeed, the present Sophomore Class is the largest that Geneseo has ever claimed, due to the new four-year curriculum for elementary teachers as well as librarians. The class of 1942 entered their sophomore year with a high scholastic as well as social reputation to maintain. Their Freshman year, with its out standing color day and Frosh Frolic, had set high standards of originality and quality for them to live up to. ln addition to this, the class of 1942 was the First sophomore class to be composed of students other than the library group. This meant that they had to establish their position in Geneseo as a large class on a par with the others. ln September, the sophomores came back to school ready to uphold the standards they had already set lor themselves, The Sophomore l'lop, talcing the place of the Student Government Dance, was the First main extra-curricular activity of the class. The lndians roamed wildly that night in October, and once again the class ot '49 had accomplished something of which to be proud. The Sophomore Color Day was really quite unique. A round, led from the balcony, added a new note to the program. The theme was a glimpse into the future and showed what the ditlerent members ot the class would be doing in ten years. The faculty was not spared and were portrayed in their characteristic attitudes. For their second year the class of 1942 entered enthusiastically into life at Geneseo and intend to up- hold its high ideals in the years to come.

Thus, with this vigorous song, the energetic freshmen opened their color day program, their First social activity ol the season. The theme of the program was a night club- Club 43. For entertainment, the gifted members oi the class exhibited their various talents: songs, piano solos, and dramatic monologues were the main features oi the program. The next event, and the most prominent, sponsored by the class oi 1943, was the Frosh Frolic, held April 5th, uGone With the Wind was decided upon as the theme, a theme which required much tedious labor. l-lovvever, through the tireless ettorts of these underclassmen, the dance was a huge success and regarded by all as one oi the best ol the year. So with memories of a pleasant year behind them, the freshmen watched the burning of their Teddy Bear on moving-up day. Back Row: Gilbert, McClory. Second Row: Lynch, Zorno, l-lowarcl.

Do you thinlc that green is a good color For the cover? ls the idea ol a snapshot contest a good one? What are your opinions? Such are examples of the many problems set before the yearbook statt by the editor-in-chief. ln solving these problems the members ol the Nor- malian stall are confronted with many nevv and puzzling situations. Literary, art, photography, and business are the four statts which compose the Normalian. Each has its own definite duties as indicated by the titles. Although these statl duties ditler one from the other, there is an inter-relationship so that the vvorl4 does not become too departmentalized, and the burden of the worlc does not fall heavily on any one stall. They survive, and-happy is the day lor all members when The Normalian is Finally distributed to the student body. 60 on i f J f 6 X 22: .V 2 .U Qs M J RT STAFF Nathalie Dewey Marie Nelson Rosemary Henderson Elizabeth Thurston Adviser: Miss Rogers ir BUSINESS STAFF Virtue Leech Lois Wallace l-lelen Cumiskey Marian Murphy Marcia Graver Adviser: Dr. Mau if LITERARY STAFF Lucy Finlcel Florence Anderson Evelyn Schneclc Shirley Rauloenheimer Adviser: Miss Thomas 'lr PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF Ellen Raine l-lelen Eells Virginia McLean Robert l'leideman lngrid l'lanson 'k Standing: Nelson.

LAIVIRON MAY END EXISTENCE EDUCATIONAL LEGISLATIVE ACTION WILL INFLUENCE FATE OF 1 8 YEAR-OLD NORMAL SCHOOL NEWSPAPER Geneseo, May 'I6, 'I94O. It is understood in literary circles that the LAMRON, the oFIiciaI publication ol the State Normal School at Geneseo, is soon to go out ol existence. The change is thought to be the result ol educational legis- lation. Back Row: Flanagan, Damico, Mitchell, Barclen, P. Smith, Mr. Parry, Bassett, Gillard, Adonnino. Second Row: Pestel, Martin, Winston, Ireland, Rudolph, Needham, De GraFf, I-Iudecelc, Fernan, Klein. Front Row: B. Smith, Woodley. 62 .FU . . 2 t lt is supposed that the expected legislation to change the status of state normal schools to teachers colleges is the cause of the rumor. Since the present title, LAMRON, is an anagram and reversed spells normal, it would not be conveying a true meaning if it were retained when Cueneseo Normal- becomes a Teachers College. lts history dates back to february, 1922. At that time it was a monthly paper, its first editor-in-chiefwas l'lelen McNamara. Then, as now, Mr. Parry was the faculty adviser. Late in 1926, the LAMRON began to be published as a semi-monthly paper. The last issue, in June of 1927, inaugurated a new system of editorial appointment. Besides an editor and assistant editor of each staff, an advisory editorial staff was initiated. This consisted of the editors of the previous year, who acted as advisers to the existing staff. This system was carried on for about two years. During this period, Mr. Parry acted as faculty adviser to the editorial staff, and lVlr. Countryman acted as, faculty adviser to the business staff. Through the years, the LAMRON has been printed at the office of the Livingston County Republican. It has mirrored the activities of Geneseo Normal School through these eighteen years. As a member of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, the LAMRON has been lcnown for its efforts to maintain the high standards set by this society of journalists, which for the past few years has bestowed upon the LAMRON second place rating among the schools affiliated with it. Through the combined efforts of the LAMRON and the NORMAUAN, Alpha Sigma Omicron, the New York State l-lonorary Journalism Society had its first chapter formed in Geneseo. Standing: Barden, Gillard.

SIGMAPISIGMA Stooging is not the only concern of Sigma Pi Sigma. Their aim is to gain a well-rounded personality as well as a high scholastic record. Their members are deeply interested in all phases of life at Geneseo, and nearly every organization in school has some Sigma Pi's in its midst. It goes without saying that member- ship in Sigma Pi Sigma is a coveted goal of the students in school. The requirement for admission is a B average for three terms. Even though the club's primary purpose is to Further an interest in high scholastic standing, the club carries on a yearly program that is most enjoyable. The past year has been successful and eventful. A panel on world atlairs was one of the outstanding high-lights of the year. Then, there was a hobby exhibit in which both Faculty and students participated, which proved most unusual. What a surprising collection of hobbies there was! Sigma Pi also conducted an alumnae questionnaire, and the results were discussed at their annual alumnae supper. Since the nature ol the club,s activities is so varied and stimulating there is something ol interest to all the ditlerent types of people who are members ol the club. These activities and the primary purpose of the organization malce membership in Sigma Pi Sigma a worth-while achievement. ir 65 ir LIBRARY CLUB Wait a second-where's the lire?H lt's not a Fire, l'm rushing to the Library Club meeting to hear Miss Van Norman talk about her trip to California. Why don't you come along-we always have lun at the meetings? Besides-you might learn somethlngf' Just a typical comment from a typical Library Club member showing the deep interest and enthusiasm which the club inspires in its members. Probably the lact that this club is composed primarily ol library students who are thoroughly absorbed in their professional careers has much to do with this. Then, too, the program of the Library Club could arouse interest in the most luke-warm person. A tea lor the Freshman library students, a talk by Miss Fay on children's books, a movie on bookbinding, and a lew general discussions of books and authors were some ol the outstanding events ol the year.

Naturally books and literature in general form the basis lor most ol these discussions, but hobbies, the theatre, and other allied interests, all enter into the conver- sation ol the club. Through the Book Club, which is a vital part ol the Literary Club, the members come in contact with many ditlerent types ol literature. These books are selected by the club members and are available to all the people in the club. Their range in subject matter reflects the diiierent interests of the members. Books ol all types are represented, including short stories, plays, poetry, and bi- ography. Many best sellers are included, and this enables everyone to keep up with What America is Reading. With so wide a selection, everybody is always able to Find some book to satisly his own individual taste in literature. Book talks by students and faculty usually lay the foundation for a stimulating discussion alter the talk. Many outside guests come to review books and thus aid them in their book selection. To be admitted to the club, one has to write a book review or give a book talk. This insures the Literary Club that the new members have the same genuine interest in literature as the old ones. if 67 sTuDENT Foiaufvi We have as our subject lor discussion this afternoon, the menace which propaganda presents to our existing civilization. On our panel we have representatives ol the New York State Speakers Association from Brockport, Oswego, and Chesborough Seminary, This is the standard introduction to one ol those informative, yet informal, discussions carried on by the Student Forum. Other outstandingly popular topics which the group investigated and discussed in public meetings this year were: New York State taxation and its relation to Education , Socialized Medicine , and Government Qwnership ol Railroads. The last discussion was probably provoked by the absence of the Erie Rail- road service to Geneseo alter January Qi, 1940. Not concentrating only on those opportunities For exchanging views with students lrom other normal schools, the forum also works in conjunction with local groups such as the high school and other organizations interested in the advancement ol intelligent discussion.

Nevertheless, its members have Found that through prolonged discussion and oftentimes argument, they have been able to arrive at logical, clear, and coherent thoughts worthy ol the time spent in sifting reliable data out oi a confusion of material. Unhesitatingly, the club has sought authorities to aid them in their search for truth. This year the Buffalo club visited Geneseo for an ex- change ol views.

AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION Back to nature , the call ol the wild is answered by enthusiastic Agassiz members who turn into ex- perimental scientists on rainy days. Dividing their time between the wonders ot the great outdoors and the mysteries of the scientitic laboratory, these students ol research and practical experimentation devote a large portion ol their leisure time to the promotion oi their interests in nature. Testing with precision and sl4iIl their theories upon diversified subjects, and accepting these theories only alter they have been suc- cessfully proven, Agassiz enthusiasts apply the Icnowledge which they have gained through their ex- periences in science. The club has always included in its program a number of Field trips, which have lead to ever-widening horizons and added to the enjoyment and informative quality ol its activities. Developing a sense ol lceen observation, an asset peculiar to scientists and artists, these aspiring students of the scientific world derive much value from these trips. There are lew organizations ol a practical nature in our school that have more intense interest in their field ol endeavor than does the progressive Agassiz club. if 71 G if I2 if ' E Gathered together in informal grouping, the members of G. R. E. discuss the child and his behavior, ever seelaing new aids to improve child care and training. These club members are engrossed in their discussions, which range from the familiar topic of Uthat unusual child in our neighborhoodf' to a more scientific attitude toward child problems, based upon research in the field of psychology. Considering the problems which confront the rural teacher, the organization has attempted to solve them practically. Rural education is in a state of transition, gradually one and two-room schools are being supplanted by more efficient centralized district schools, offering much that the small school cannot afford. These centralized schools are malcing possible a broader, more profitable, and enjoyable educational experience for the child from a rural home. With the advancement of centralization, the old problems of the little red school house are diminishing, but we find that consolidation malces new demands upon the teaching staff. Club members are learning how to improve old conditions and meet the demands of the new through careful study of methods employed by experienced teachers to counteract these difficulties.

Upon examining the Journal of Ex- ceptional Childrenf' a non-profit educational project published for International, We Find existing chapters in over twenty of our states as well as in l'lavvaii and a levv ol the Canadian provinces. A chapter is considered to be a group of ten or more individuals organized and atliliated with lnternational. Each member ol the Geneseo Normal Chapter receives, as a part of his membership privileges, a copy of the Journal each month. Our Geneseo Chapter is under the direction of Dr. Shanahan of Sonyea. Under his capable leadership the organization has spent many profitable evenings pursu- ing the study of all types of exceptional children. Among the prominent speakers who stimulated the group to discussion and questioning were Dr. Robert Nathan, spealdng on the European schools, and Dr. Shanahan who treated the familiar sub- ject, epilepsy. Professionally-minded, the organization has absorbed much From its guest meetings and discussions. l C ir if E C 73 CGMMUTERS' CLUB The Fall ol Forty has much significance to the commuters of Geneseo Normal. What a snowstorm there was in the February ol that yearl Many ol the drivers plodded through the snow regardless ol the miserable driving conditions. A Few were Forced to stay in town lor one night, however. flfven that hurt their pridelb ln the spring, the Floods from the Genesee River made commuting a dangerous business, but they all carried on. The Commuters' Club was lormed lor those students who travel baclc and forth from home to school each day. Coziness and the home-lilce atmosphere of their clubroom do much to take the place of the rooms of those who actually live here in Geneseo. Contrary to some beliels, the Commuters do belong to other clubs and talce part in school activities. They are often more punctual in attendance than those who live in town. Commuting can become tedious and boring, but the members ol the club reluse to let it do so. Through their meetings they gain much pleasure, and while in Geneseo they make the most of every minute. Can the rest of us claim the same? Back Row Wester Donnan, Stewart, A. l-lall, N. Smith, V. Simpson, D. Sherman. Second Row: Dunning, Hyde, Nesbitt l-lowitt, Aclonnino, Clements. First Row: R.

This year they studied children's radio programs. Through this study, they become better able to cope with situations which might arise when they themselves are teaching. ln the discussions, sometimes held with 4 parents and teachers in order to get their viewpoints, the child is regarded as an individual. Not very often are detinite conclusions reached at these discussions, but many opinions are expressed and exchanged. Qther subjects, such as music, travel, and art are considered. All in all, therefore, the Early Childhood Education Club helps to provide a well-rounded baclcground for future teachers ofyoung children. Baclc Row: Sheehan, Strang, l-lardy, Wester, V.

Meeting every other week on Wednesday afternoons, Las Exploras members lose the cares they may have, and gain in return a feeling that all's right with the world. Since the weather cannot be ordered, rain and snow often accompany the hikers on their travels. This year the new members of the club, clad in snow suits, celebrated the Winterls worst snow storm by a hike. The annual trek to Letchworth park brings with it a perfect week-end for the explorers. Big appetites go hand in hand with the fifteen mile jaunt which brings the club's activities to a close for the year, A club devoted to true sportsmanship, good times, and warm comradeship may be summed up as our Las Exploras hiking club.

With unbounded enthusiasm and trained cooperation, the basketball team played as a man, taking both success and defeat in its stride most admirably. Plenty of drama and excitement accompanied these hard-Fought games, and the spectators often Found it difficult to Follow all the thrill-packed experiences happening on the Floor. Then there were those times when things did not look too brightl When spirits sagged, cheer- leaders jumped up to rouse sport Fans from their lethargy and stimulate the men to basket-making. Winning or losing, the men showed an enthusiasm lor the game and the kind ot sportsmanship we can easily admire. The Final whistle blew all too soon, the season was over tor another year. 'k 88 lvlEN'S BASEBALL Take me out to the ball game became the theme with the First sign of spring. On warm alter- noons, after scholastic etlorts had become just too tiresome, Geneseo's student body drifted clown to the laall Field to watch its stars wind-up at bat. Out on bleechers, perched on car-tops, or sprawled lazily on the grass, the spectators chewed gum to the tune ol two-baggers and even home-runs, as the teamsters gave their all For Geneseo's glory. Between innings Geneseos co-eds chatted with spectators from the visiting school. Cheers and groans accompanied the changing luck of the team as homers turned foul or the Fielder rnutlecl a ball allowing Geneseo's man to reach third base. Good lun it was for both spectator and participant. 'k Row Seger, Wilson, Morris, Sleight, R. Conklin. Front Row: Rotfe, Stark, G.

NEW YORK April eo, 1940 Mr. William Ross The DuBois Press Rochester, N. Y. Dear Mr. Ross: When this moment comes, when all the copy is in and all the proofs are checked, we feel an overwhelming sense of relief and satisfaction. Watching a yearbook grow- from its very infancy to its final state is fascinating to the members of the Normalian staff. There were many times during the past year when the task of finishing the book on time seemed almost impossible. However, on these occasions, your helpful suggestions and unfailing good spirit gave us the incentive to go on. Without your invaluable aid the work of completing this yearbook would have been far more difficult. The members of the Normalian Staff of 1940 wish to express their gratitude to you and the DuBois Press for your continued cooperation.
