CARDINAL 1941 Copyrighted 1941 Myrtle I. Bennett F.ditor-in-chiej John Davis Business Manager Wm Presented by THE JUNIOR CLASS PLATTSBURGH STATE NORMAL SCHOOL PLATTSBURGH, NEW YORK Informal styling could be summed up as a go-as-you- please type. We have endeavored to use it because it is realistic, and we believe that a truthful portrayal of life as it is lived is all important. Consequently we have used the art of informality as a prime aid and requisite to try to portray to you the actual school life, as you have lived it. If we have succeeded in holding a mirror up to the life at Plattsburgh State Normal School, for the year 1940-1941 and enabled you to re-live the happy events, the disappointments, and the triumphs of which you are such an intimate part, we may give you your Yearbook with smiling faces. We have done our best.

You are the inspiration, the reason for this book. For you it is composed, your school life is the story it tells. Therefore, to you it is dedicated. DEDICATION REPLY The students of Plattsburgh State Normal School wish to take this opportunity to thank the Staff of the Cardinal ' 41 for the motive which has prompted this dedication, and for the tremendous amount of labor and the high degree of efficiency which have been so capably combined to give us this brilliant record of the past by which we may guide the future. Perhaps the Staff had been so conscientiously striving from the beginning to make this publication one which would belong to the whole student body, that when the end came, it seemed only logical that Cardinal ' 41 be dedicated to the students in word as well as in deed. The Student Body feels that you have made the Cardinal this year their book. Wii.LSON Daily, President of the House of Delegates. 7 IN MEMO R I AM The desire for friendship is strong in every human heart. This, the highest earthly relationship, is at its best shif ting; for men are not wholly true, and time and change play their ceaseless part. But the memory of enjoyed companionship, once fully possessed, cannot Dorothy Langenstein die. Such a companionship was ours while Dorothy Langenstein and Hubert Spence were our classmates. This memory serves as a nourishing source of strength, once the first shock of surprise and bitter grief has been removed and we can sing the victor ' s song. We are so selfish about death, forgetting that it means only life, with all rest, peace, and joy. We are inclined to protest that it is unfair, that they were too young. When the work of two such admirable persons is left unfinished, our thoughts should broaden into a stately march of conquest for truth, justice, nobility, and honor. Our individual responsibility should grow to encircle theirs, that their ideals and goals may be realized in part through our effort. We should look beyond our- selves and our loss and be ever on the alert for chances to rise and march gloriously with our invisible guides. In resignation to bereavement, as one of the mis- fortunes in life, it is true that a fair face may be kept Hubert Spence to the world and to oneself by treasuring the happiest and gayest memories. These memories we hold are bright and pulsating with life; while the desire to duly r honor Dorothy and Hubert in words far exceeds our power. How good, how good to close the weighty book. Leave sorting and dissecting, quit the school. Here quiet let me lie, content to look At waterbugs and tadpoles in the pool. Spring Saturdays were surely meant To be in drowsy dreaming spent. ague images of childhood pass Like shadows in the waterglass, And easily the fancy weaves Small sailboats out of floating leaves; The willow is a lady fair. The cloud, a wisp of angel hair. Oh, happy, happy days, so soon Become a half-remembered tune. An echo from the Pipe of Pan Played in some distant Lotus-land — But hold ! The miracle of Spring Depends upon the wand you bring. No pedagogue can quite explain A cloud as only unspillcd rain, Nor yet dispel the mystery That shrouds the new-green willow tree. Earth, water, air, and sky are magic still; Still secretly the waterbug skims by; And hark! Pan whistles from a near-by hill — Oh. let me hear him near until I die! THEME It is September, 1940. The hands of the clock at Plattsburgh State Normal School point to 8 a.m. From all parts of the state students are assembling for another year of broadening interest, developing talents and specializing in the work for which they are preparing themselves through an active social life, guidance in learning, and actual practice in teaching. In the Practice School student-teachers are striving for poise in front of children; in Room 103 freshmen are being started on the highway of func- tional English ; in the laboratories future sages begin acquiring a scientific manner as they talk of pteri- dophytes and ostracoderms ; and in the foods lab promising young nutrition experts discuss the value of Vitamin Bi. The clock hands move around; the time passes; and it is June, 1941. Students are reviewing for exams, but they are remembering, too, a night spent observing the stars, the fun had at the Sophomore soiree, and many other events that have highlighted this particular year. Any school Annual attempts to record in an interesting manner the events and happenings of such a time span. It was this thought — that the past year has been a full one — that has led us to select as the theme of this book the School As We Know It. Dr. Charles C Ward The students of the Plattsburgh State Normal School hold a profound respect and admiration for their friend and Principal, Dr. Charles C. W ard. W ithin them he has implanted his high ideals for moral and ethical conduct, the fervent desire for a greater and endur- ing democracy, and a fixed determination to hold steadfast to the high trust imposed on them to serve humanity. Again the Cardinal records the history, the expe- rience, the personal and cooperative enterprise of the Normal School ; again it weaves the individual and collective achievement into the colorful mosaic which gives the pattern of our school life. The Yearbook is peculiarly a personal possession, it is the students ' own, the mirror of intimate associations which no outsider can share, the storehouse of memory which grows more entrancing with the passing years. Kach page has cap- tured a portion of your life; in turn, each page remains a willing captive in the treasure house of your mind. Vivid as its name, the Cardinal need suffer no graying November as the years advance. May it be as alive to you at threescore and ten, its song as lovely, as in this year of forty-one. Charles C. Ward, Primipal. OUR FACULTY We extend our appreciation and gratitude to the members of the faculty of Plattsburgh State Normal.

The House of Delegates is the major student governing body of Plattsburgh State Normal School. It is a group com- posed of representatives elected from all student organizations. One of the functions of the House is to act as a policy-forming body to aid the administration of ihe school. All students, through their representatives, have a vital interest in the activities of the House of Delegates, for it is here that their problems are presented and discussed, and solutions suggested. The Student Council is a smaller group, composed of members from the House, and acts in an advisory and executive capacity to the larger body.

Its principal aim is to establish a common ground where representatives of the women students and the Dean. Miss Alice K. Lewis, who is the Board ' s adviser, can meet and consider problems which arise. A group, composed of the presidents of houses where women students of Pittsburgh State Normal School reside, has been functioning for some length of time at this institution. Last semester a desire to become more active was stimulated within the organization, and for the first time, student officers were elected, and specific committees were formed to investigate various problems and present them to the group. Possible solutions were offered on the basis of rather careful study, comparing our problems and difficulties with those of other colleges and normal schools. Although each house has its individual problems that may be solved within itself, there arc many of mutual interest to all houses. The Board believes that effective functioning of such an organization should bring about a clearer understanding of the requirements and desires of all and expedite the solution of these problems. In the future, this group should become an effective functioning unit of the student government of Pittsburgh State Normal School. 17 ALMA MATER As the evening shades are falling, And the day fades into night; Pause a moment in the gloaming To salute the Red and White.

Iii September, 1937, a class of one bund red twenty-one freshmen entered Normal — fifty-seven in the Home Economics Department, sixty-four in the Klcmentary Department. They chose as their class president, Vincent Stanger; vice-president. Leah Pratt; secretary. Mary Alice Nolan: treasurer. W illiam Morhous; faculty adviser. Miss Alice K. Lewis. They selected red and white as their class colors and the American Beauty Rose as their class (lower. The outstanding activity that year was the successful sponsoring of a Mid-year Ball. On returning to school in September, 1038, the class organized with William Morhous as president; Marie Jabaut. vice-president; Betty Kavanauyh. secretary; Maurice Camp, treasurer: and Miss Ruth Woodward, faculty adviser. A round of activities began at once in an attempt to make freshman brothers and sisters feel a bit more at home. Soon attention was turned to working out an interesting assembly program, consisting of a series of tableaux portraying many favorite songs as they might be found in some old album. The long winter weeks between Christmas and Easter were made more lively with a sleigh ride. With spring came the Junior Prom — made unique by its ultra-modern theme. During part of the Junior year, the group was associated with the Senior Class. They enjoyed a spaghetti dinner with them and later at the all-school supper acted as hostesses. In May the Home Economics students met to organize for the year 1940-1941. Eunice L ' Ecuyer was elected president; Jeanette Robinson, vice-president; Virginia Sherman, secretary: Betty Sullivan, treas- urer. On Moving-up Day this group appeared for the first time as a distinct class, singing their song and carrying their colors, gold and white. The newly organized group gave freely of its services in preparation for the Senior Ball. That third year was made memorable by the fact that the Board of Regents approved the granting of a degree. Bachelor of Science, to graduates of the Home Economics Course. This year represents a most gratifying close to what might be called the era of beginnings in the development Of the Home Economics Department. Seniors have seen the staff of the Home Economics faculty grow from three in their Freshman year to ten in their Senior year. They have watched the conventional classrooms develop into attractive, colorful living areas and modern, efficient laboratories. After hours of conference, planning, and consultation with authorities, the final plan for the Senior (rots was evolved. Each Home Economics Senior does twelve weeks of practice teaching in two different communities for periods of six weeks in each. She also spends six weeks in the Home Management House, the efficient running of which is the responsibility of the girls. They attend some classes at schcxil and some at the house. This total period of off-campus work com- pletes one semester. The other semester is spent on a regular class schedule on campus. The class is now looking forward to the Commencement activities as a significant conclusion to four happy, eventful years. 19 Colors ( m.i.i) am.

Millie 31 HISTORY OF THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT September) l°37, saw the opening of the Hume Kconomics Department at the Plattsburgh State i rmal School with fifty-seven students enrolled. The staff at the beginning of the year was composed of but two members — Miss Calla Van Sycklc, director, and Miss Ruth A. Woodward. Later. Mrs. Ruth Collins accepted a temporary appointment to the faculn and was replaced in the second semester by Mrs. Alice Brown. During this first year many plans were made concerning the development of the department, and much equipment was installed. The fir st freshmen took an active part in planning the Home Kconomics living room and selecting the furnishings. Classrooms which were to be developed as laboratories for the department were set aside to be equipped in the future. During the first year the chemistry laboratory at the southwest corner of the building was completed. Few will forget the experiences while using the cafeteria as a foods laboratory — nor the fun had in doing it. Looking back upon the first year, the seniors are grateful that they were allowed to participate in so much of the planning and development of the department. They consider themselves fortunate, indeed, to have had suggestions and opinions recognized and given the consideration typical of the staff. The beginning of the second year brought several new faculty members to the Home Economics staff — Miss Louise Norton, the new director of the Home Kconomics Department, Miss Emily Willcy, clothing instructor, and Mrs. Sherman Parsons, instructor in family relations. The cafeteria was no longer managed by concession, but was taken over by the Home Kconomics Department under the able guidance of Miss Martha Park, another new staff member. During this year the foods laboratory was completely equipped and several other improvements were made in the department. The third year saw the Home Kconomics Department staff increased by three new members, bringing the total up to eight. The new members were Miss Lucy Burwash, Miss Klcanor Lewis, and Miss Oreanna A. Merriam. With an increase in faculty members there was a definite need for additional classrooms and laboratories. One of the rooms on the west side of the building was furnished with cupboards, mirrors, and sewing equipment for the freshman course in Personal Living Problems. Two other rooms on the same side of the building were taken for use as classrooms. The playroom for pre-school children, which had previously occupied one of these rooms, was moved to a private home until such a room could be provided in the building. The foods laboratory continued to mow in usefulness with the addition of many accessories. The clothing department was also greatly improved by the purchase of six new sewing machines. While all these rooms were being developed and the faculty increased, a great need was felt for offices. The main office for this new department was furnished and another office started for new faculty members. The latter was not entirely completed until the end of the third year of Home Kconomics ' existence in the school. The staff was completed during the fourth year with the addition of two new members. Miss Ann Buntin, new supervisor of student teaching and Miss Pearl Horning, resident instructor in the Home Management House. New additions and improvements are continually being made within the Department, thus providing a variety of professional opportunities for the students. All Home Kconomics students feel a certain pride in having had the opportunity to share in the progress of the Department, and feel confident that it will continue to grow and improve in the future as it has during the past four years. 32 Out HOME MANAGEMENT HOUSE Situated over on Broad Street, about a five-minute walk from the campus, is that novel institu- tion, the Home Management House. To all but seniors, this remains something very new and different from anything we have herc-to-fore known. During the course of her off-campus work, each senior spends six weeks living in the Home Management House as a member of a family group. This group, under the guidance of an instructor, performs activities such as a typical family might carry on. LABORATORIES l ' l.AV CROI I Included in the make-up of the Home Economics Department are several laboratories. Sophomores aid in maintaining the play group as a part of their family-life course. The Clothing lab is essentially used by senior and sophomore classes, although it is open to all. The principal habitat of the juniors is the Foods lab which is used somewhat by other classes also. Adjoining this lab is the spacious Early American living-dining room where classes, meetings, or parties convene. At the grade-school end of the building is the newest of labs — the seventh- and eighth- grade Home Economics classrcxun.

Complete the tasks we start to do— The Kuit and Cold, the Class ol 42. At each year ' s ending, we ' ll take our place; . . . This year members of the Class ol ' 42 take what is perhaps the most important place which they have yet attained. They have looked forward to this event since 193K when they entered Plattsburgh State Normal School as one hundred forty-three timid and bewildered freshmen. Then, it was the peak high in the clouds towards which they aspired; now, they reach the summit. At long last, they are seniors. They introduce themselves to you as pioneers. They seem to have a yen for the new and original. It must be admitted that this tendency is their natural birth- right when one considers the fact that their is the first four-year class of combined Elementary and Home Economic! students at Plattsburgh. As sophomores they asked each other. hat. no freshman initiation? and they promptly instituted such a program. The initiation and tug-of-war were received with enthusiasm and cooperation. It is their feeling that activities such as these have a definite place, and their hope that they will become living traditions of this school. This class has been an active one. They do not wish the activities or the friend- ships they entered into during undergraduate days to end upon graduation. The solution? They think they ' ve found it in planning for the organization of a permanent class association. The Class of ' 42 had a major responsibility this year, the first year a Junior class at Plattsburgh has had the task of publishing the Cardinal. Pittsburgh ' s year book. It was a doubly difficult responsibility since two classes must be featured. It has been their most arduous duty to the school but also one of the most pleasant. More than that, it has been a challenge to each one of them. After much deliberation and still in the spirit of pioneers, they selected an entirely new school ring, bearing the Cardinal emblem, the state seal and inscribed I ' lailsburgh State Teachers. It had never been customary to hold a formal class banquet in the Junior year, but the Class of ' 42 foresaw much value and enjoyment in such a function and. accordingly, made plans for one. Activities for the year did not close here, however, for the Junior Prom must be the biggest and best formal of the year. For it. the gym was no longer just the gym; it was a bit of old Holland, providing a setting as colorful as that of a May dance should be. It is on Class Day that this group moves up to the coveted place of seniors. They look forward eagerly to the new and more challenging experience of practice teaching and to the continuance of class and social activities. The final year should be their fullest and richest, providing a fitting climax to four eventful years.

You who are young in your doubt, your self-confidence, your fear and your hope, you in whose being are the love of wonder, the amazement of the stars and the unfailing appetite for what next, and for the joy in the game of life — you, our classmates, have served as our inspiration. Finally, our advisers, Mr. Noyes, Mr. Hartman, and Mr. Brown, you have guided that inspiration, made it work and func- tion for us, have made it our aid and not our master. Your calm trust, your cheerful admonitions and smiles through fretful hours, when our faith might have faltered, these are the factors which have made The Cardinal of 1941 a success in whatever measure it may be. -ii Cardinal ?5 STAFF 5% Editor-in-Clliei— I YRTI.E Be.NN ETT Assistant — Ruth Pease Photography Editor — Bernard Rabin Assistants — EULKN WlLUTf Kl.l.S WORTH JaCKSTADT I.itrrary Editor— Nancy Kiu.n Assistants — Ji nk Adams 1 I 1 HI III Mill IK Justin a Junior Janet Wars Art Editor — Doris I ' .i.hred A ssistants — Haze I Ac k ert JUDY THOMPSON Afnnc Editor— Jea K w u.i Sports Co-editors — Jeanette Xaoy ernon Mari.i.ai Alumni Editor — Frances Ackley Assistant — Jean Reeve Business Manager — John I)a is Assistant — Marjorie Butler Aivntmng Manager — Rim.er GOUMM Assist a tits — Claude La Pi.a n te IRGIN1A Palmer | Lesley Smith PERMANENT CLASS ORGANIZATION PE R. I A N E NT OF F 1 C I . RS President Roger Golden liee-Presulfnt Ruth Pease Secretary MlKIAM I ll ' MIKS Treasurer I.ORETTA Stem u c, The history of the Class of ' 42 has included the perpetrating of many new ideas and customs — the foundations for possible future traditions at Plattsburgh State Normal School. One innovation of which they are particularly proud is their permanent class organization, the solid framework of officers and committees which will continue to function after graduation. The four years which they are spending in preparation for the positions that they will fill in the world are important years in their lives — years of work and play, of sorrow and joy, of disappointment and happiness in achievement. These are years which they do not wish to forget, and the ideal of the permanent class organization is to accomplish the purpose of keeping each member in close touch with the activities of the rest of the class. The secretary ' s responsibility will be to write for information concerning positions, husbands, wives and babies. This news, together with current happenings of the school, will be assembled and mimeographed by members near at hand and sent to every graduate of the Class of 42 at least once each year. This permanent organization has been effected in order to keep the individual members of the class in closer touch with each other than would otherwise be possible and to insure greater par- ticipation in the school Alumni Association. 72 NIGHT A zcind szcays the pines.

Another year has passed, and this time it was the pleasure of the Class of ' 43 to guide those groping, green Frosh through their first ten weeks of adjustment and acclimation by carrying on the tradition of Freshman rules which was originated last year. In the penalty court the guidance committee helped those who found it hard to conform to initiation rules. Though the tug-o-war victory went to the Frosh. the Sophomores triumphed, while the yearlings toiled over dandelions and brush brooms. Toward the end of this period, a new interest became evident. Kvem.ne was busy; the craft room and lower hall buzzed wi th activities of the Sophomores. When the night of the Soiree arrived, everyone was amazed by the transformation of the gymnasium into a representation of the Hialeah Race Track. Dancing to the floating rhythm of Al Powell, all agreed that the evening was an even greater success than that of the 1940 Freshman Hop. The Soiree was the highlight of the year, which ended with a gala class get-together. It hardly seems possible that half of the journey through Normal is completed. The Sophomores ' greatest desire for the future is to have two more years as pleasant and profitable as those just completed. 74 CLASS OFFICERS President Ralph ( uas er Vice-President William Mahoney Secretary Eleanor Edwards Treasurer Sidney Stutchbi ry Faculty Adviser I ' .i.i .ahi; i n Sullivan Colors Firmer Blue and White White Carnation Find a Way ok M am.

Pittsburgh State Normal School admitted a record number of freshmen. Although everyone effected a business-like appearance, they acted with uncertainty, inquiring: Who is Miss Blank? Is it necessary that we buy all these books: . Whew is the bulletin board: . Where is the east corridor: These and many other questions tormented them day and night. Vigilant instructors, working hand-in-hand with the sophomores, helped them to orient themselves. For this, they thank those who so unselfishly aided them through the first trying weeks and who arc continuing to do so. It was through their kind efforts that a (let-Acquainted-Party for freshmen enabled many to know each other. At a later afternoon picnic, freshmen met most of the upper-classmen. During the second week of school, a determined group of sophomores clamped down with the usual Rules and Regulations for freshmen. One of the immediate chores was to sweep the sidewalks in front of the school with whisk brooms and to dig dandelions from the campus. During the next few weeks, the sophomores rapidly lost the habit of carrying their own books because they usually had a choice of several brawny, red-capped freshmen to perform this task for them. All this was as nothing compared to the red-letter day when their rivals, the sophomores, appeared on the south side of The Pond in swimming trunks, while the majority of the freshmen came attired as if for a show-date or dancing. The result of this traditional tug-of-war across the campus pond was inevitable! They made their superiors ' excursion through the water so brief and rapid that they hardly became damp! To emphasize this victory, all freshmen appeared at classes without caps the following day. while the defeated sophomores sheepishly carried all the books the freshmen owned or could borrow. After the Rules Period was over, the class assembled in the large gymnasium to elect its officers. Hilton Homing was elected president, with Betty Conaty as vice-president. Muriel Dun- ham was elected treasurer and John Neyenhouse, as secretary. Daniel Mahoney was selected representative to the House of Delegates with Veronica Gawron as alternate. Plans for the major social event for which first-year students are responsible, the Freshman Hop. were quickly formulated and effectually carried out. The largo gym was converted into a mammoth cavern with realistic stalactites and stalagmites, and the guests greatly enjoyed the music of The Continentals under the direction of Harder Downing. That the class of ' +4 shows genuine interest in the school is proven by their active participation in all school functions and by their eager anticipation for what the next throe years may bring.

Thank Clod we have exigencies for they bring out the best we have in us. They make us strong. Don ' t cultivate a wishbone where your back- bone ought to be. ■ ' The whole truth is the must complicated thing in the world. Love is an intangible, unpredictable enigma. Speak no evil lest evil be spoken of you. There is nothing created without a dreamer first. ■Wherever there is a clinging vine there is a sturdy oak. Success is peace of mind. The fact that you don ' t like your neighbor doesn ' t mean that you can move out of town. He who plays well, lives well. His brain slipped into neutral and his tongue rattled on. You may be sure that a man who says, ' I always do what I want to do, has either youth or a dream. Attitudes lived lead to realization of ideals. The better you live today, the less you need to worry about yesterday or tomorrow. Lose yourself in what you ' re doing, People are like the pendulum on a clock, they •j. i i( i In ,1 Ii i-xi remes. The longer I stay in bed, the longer the day will be little. Don ' t completely undress the truth, leave on a negligee. The more you want, the more abundantly you will live. A girl is never sweeter than when she ceases to struggle. W e did not do less than our best. It ' s better to be embarrassed than bored. It isn ' t what you see but what you miss if you don ' t sec it. The wonder of it all is that the world gets along as well as it does with so many of us so foolish. We can ' t center our attention upon top-dress- ing; nor can we judge a cake by its icing. I got my education so long ago it might be ancient history now. w© ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS MUSIC SORORITIES FRATERN ITY CLUBS ALL THE TIME u . . . picnics . . . clubs . . . sports . . . drama . . . music . . . mountain climbs . . . teas . . . formals . . . parties ... so the days skim by !

Boys ' athletics this year has included tennis, ping-pong and basketball under the able sponsorship of Dr. Kdward K. Redcay. The basketball season can be considered a successful one since it was highlighted by several freshman finds who give promise of becoming an even better team next year. During the past few years an interesting program of indoor and outdoor sports, offering to every girl the opportunity to enjoy some form of recreation, has been established. Intramural com- petition is held in basketball, tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. Miss Alice K. Backus is director of girls ' athletics. VARSITY SCHEDULE •P. S. N. S. 30 Oneonta State Teacher 28 P.

S. N. S. basketball squad, the local basketball enthusiasts were provided with some fast and closely matched collegiate games during the 1940-41 season. Although the team won fewer games than was anticipated, the interest never lagged as this year ' s schedule marked the first fully collegiate schedule in the school ' s history. Only three games were lost on the home court as the support given by the student body and the school cheering corps added just the right impetus to the Cardinal attack. While the system of play- gave little chance for individual brilliance, every man had his responsibility; and the players experienced that smooth-working unity which brings success. 88 v. 1h MUSIC DEPARTMENT The musical organizations arc reluctant to sec this school year draw to an end. One hundred and fifty students have progressed a little bit farther because of the profit and pleasure gained from working together. For anyone interested in music, there are several excellent opportunities for development in our school. The music organizations include the Girls ' Cllee Club, the Men ' s Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, the Male Quartet and the Orchestra. All groups participated in special Assembly programs November 7 and May I. The Department of Music sponsors the National Music Week Festival which is developing with each successive year. Much of the success of the Music Department is attributable to Mr. Street, whose untiring efforts are an inspiration to all who work with him. MALE QUARTET RnliKRT CllAl VIX Ralph Grove r Pal i.

The singers participated in the annual Candlelight Service, which, as usual, attracted throngs from the vicinity. They also took active parts in two Assemblies and in the May Music Week Festival. The clubs afford many opportunities for music lovers to continue their participation in chorus work and to increase their appreciation of good music.

The purpose of this council is to maintain cooperation among the groups represented in order that they may find a solution for any problems that may arise. This year the council established the system of a preferential list as a more democratic way to select new members for their individual chapters. This list also gives the students of the school an opportunity to express their preference for joining a particular sorority or fraternity. The system is controlled so that the expressed choices arc not known by any sorority or fraternity member. A formal Interfraternity Dance was held on Friday. December 6. 1940. to mark the beginning of the rush season. ••1 ALPHA DELTA Fourth row — Hugh, Kvenson, A.

Pease, iMRocqur, Xewell, Barrington THETA CHAPTER Ii was September — vacation was over — and the Alpha Delta sisters were enthusiastically making plans for another exciting and memorable year. A tea for a former sorority sister seemed an appropriate initial activity. Next plans must be made for a Freshman Rush Party. Ideas and suggestions came in profusion. A Baby Party! That would be just the type to stimulate informality and make intro- ductions easy. Children ' s games were played with juvenile abandon. Indeed, it was a gala and undignified evening. This year an extensive Red Cross drive was conducted in the community and school. An original play woven about the Red Cross theme was presented in assembly by the Alpha Deltas who were especially interested in the Red Cross drive. It meant that costumes must be made, lines learned, and rehearsals held. Lots of work, but it was an opportunity to contribute something to their school, and the work was done with a will. Social meetings were alternated with business meetings. The Interfraternity Dance, a taffy pull, a skating party, an evening of games and dancing, and a theater party furnished further opportunities to work and play with friends and store up pleasant memories. In February the pledge banquet was held at the Withcrill for new members. Later the Alpha Deltas joined the other sororities in a dance at the Cumberland, thus completing an impressive ceremony. Informal initiation provided more fun and activity for the Alpha Delts. And now new mem- bers assist in planning future activities, the farewell banquet being the one to which they look forward most eagerly, yet a little sadly too. For then they must say Good-bye to their Alpha Delta sisters until next year. 9S CLIO Fourth row — Kehoe. Dunn, llodgins. Barton, Maier, Piphrr, Lasher.

On November 7 was produced the Clionian assembly program — Women of Importance. This skit, written by the girls, endeavored to present a picture of woman ' s struggle for recognition in a man ' s world. Exerpts from the lives of famous women were dramatized on the stage. Rushing got underway with the sponsoring of a Depression Party on December 4. The rushecs came dressed in rags and tatters. indicating the theme of the party. The major activity of the evening was a skit presented by the Clionian members called The Lamp Went Out. At the close of the party the rushees were given meal relief cards in order to secure refreshments in the cafeteria. Another big event of this season was the Interfiaternity Dance held on February 7, 1941, in conjunction with the Alpha Deltas and the Delta Tau Chi Fraternity in honor of all the rushecs. Rushing and pledging season wound up in style on February 21 with a Pledge Banquet at the Cumberland Hotel followed by a joint dance with the Agos and Alpha Deltas. The Senior Banquet in June brought farewells to Seniors and the end of a very successful year for Delta Clio. ALPHA KAPPA PHI Filth nm • U eNAii, Rasat-..

Its passing has been marked by fun and laughter as sisters rollicked through ten months of comradeship and by a certain solemnity, as old friends left P. S. . S. The first meeting was in October with high hopes for a successful year. A W elcome Tea to all Freshman girls in the Home F.conomics living room launched the Ago program for l ' MO- 194-1, W ith an eye to current events, an ingenious committee chose a Refugee scene as a setting for the annual rush part) ' ; the guests met their future sisters on this occasion. On February 21. Alpha Kappa Phi joined with the Alpha Deltas and Clios in holding the traditional pledge ceremonies at the Hotel Cumberland. A gala dinner and dance complemented the festivities. At midnight, the old members joined with the new in cementing bonds of friendship through pledging — the solemn and beautiful Ago way. Rush W eek found the veteran members taking the new members over the hurdles. to test their qualifications as prospective members of AK . A unique Assembly program, a parody on past and present comic strips, was presented with typical Ago enthusiasm in March. The annual farewell banquet, held in June, was the crowning achievement of the year for Alpha Kappa Phi Sorority. It was the final get-together between those who had realized their goals and those who would carry on. - DELTA TAU CHI Standing — ' .

Makoney, Golden, Xcyenhouse, Daily Delta Tau Chi lias just completed the thirteenth chapter of its history as an active organization in the Pittsburgh State Normal School. Instead of following the usual course of having two business meetings a month, the fraternity decided to have one meeting allotted to business, the other for some swial function. These social meetings were made up of round-table discussions, pot-luck suppers, banquets, and the annual initia- tion. The fraternity also cooperated with the sororities in the Intcrfraternity Dance. One of the most interesting events of the year was the Rush Banquet. Following this banquet. Dr. W ebster of Dannemora. using special lighting effects, showed his collection of original colored pictures of pre-historic mammals. The fraternity has attempted to do more than in previous years. Every member has cooperated in an effort to achieve this goal. The membership is small, but the organization feels that quality is more to be desired than quantity. The Spring Banquet, which has always climaxed the fraternity year, again was the final enjoy- able evening for ATX in 1940-1941. 98 fo« r ' tK ft o a At Cl« n ° ' ' M 1 ' OFFICERS LAMRON President Ml ' KIEL M.VTUTT Vice-President HtLtx Martin- Secretary Joan Thompson Treasurer Doris HufCPt Faculty Adviser I ' m i Hartman Although Lamron is a comparatively large organization, most of its members participate in some dramatic assignment during the school year. A varied program of a dramatic club may include more than merely producing plays. To carry on this type of program Lamron has a separate make-up group which meets once a week and a scene-painting group which worked on the scenery for the Plattsburgh Little Theater production, Margin for Error. In this production Elaine Bullis, one of the club members, was a pleasing success in the part of Sophie Baumer. The only social meeting during the year was a Favorite Character Party where members showed talent and originality in their presentations of favorites in an off-stage informality. In addition to the routine business. Lamron produced six plays at regular meetings: After All These Years by Warren Beck, The Mad Hatters by John MacMurray, Fine Feathers, Ladies Alone, and Materia Medica by Ryerson and Clements. Lamron also presented an assembly program during the second semester which was the climax of the year ' s work. 99 PARNASSIAN The purpose of the Parnassian Club is to provide more opportunities for leisure-time reading among all the students of the school, as well as among the members of the club. In an attempt to do this, there have been set up exhibits of interesting books suitable to various occasions, such as Bcxik W eek and Christmas. The Parnassian Club has made posters, placed a box of book reports in the browsing corner, and presented the Rev. Mr. John R. Riley, as speaker in assembly on Reading for Fun. Monthly meetings have provided many happy and worthwhile experiences, including a study of the life of Christopher Morley and his book. Parnassus On W heels, Robert Frost and his works, drama, and a discussion on modern books. 100 PRESS CLUB The Press Club is made up of those Students in Pittsburgh State Normal School who are most interested in creative writing, and who publish their best efforts in that field in the school maga- zine. The T ower. Though the group sponsoring The Tower is small, their efforts are serious, and under the competent guidance of their adviser, H. Otis Xoyes, the magazine is published twice yearly. In The T oner, practically every type of creative writing is found, including poetry, short stories, essays and book reviews. Though only a school magazine, very often the work in it is of such caliber that it could win recognition elsewhere if the students so willed. Members of the Press Club meet three times monthly on Thurs- day afternoons for the purpose of discussing activities of the Club and the possibilities of improving The Tower. At the end of the school year, members of the Press Club cul- minate their activities with some type of a social get-together, usually a theater party followed by a visit to a newspaper office, a bite to eat and then home. 101 OUTING CLUB Filth row — Fldred, Chaskey, Main, Golden, Lois Smith, Carter, Howard, Munkittrick Fourth rn::- — Burke, Huntington, Bredenberg, Dunham, Ferretti.

Activities were arranged to give every student a chance to enjoy his favorite pastime at least once during the season. Soon after the opening of school in September, the club began its activities by sponsoring a hike which was followed by a hot-dog roast at the State Park. The next event was a climb up Po-Ko Moonshine. hile resting after the climb, the election of officers was held. Other events of the year included a climb up Mt. Melntyre. an exciting ski trip to Loon Lake, a skating party held at the Pittsburgh Rink in conjunction with the Winter Sports Club, a ski trip to Rand Hill, and a skating party followed by a lunch at the Rod and Gun Club cabin. in.

It was organized by students who expressed a desire to interpret the meaning of various rock formations in their vicinity. Member- ship in this organization is limited to fifteen. There are no dues and few expenses for field trips. Throughout the year field trips were made to places of geological interest where the group studied rock formations and obtained specimens of rocks, minerals and fossils. In May. 1 ' MO, ten students and two members of the faculty visited the White Mountains in New Hampshire. On this trip the club visited such points of interest as Indian Head. Old Man of the Mountain. Mount W ashington, and severa l granite quarries. In October five members and the faculty adviser. Miss June Lewis, hiked four and one-half miles up Whitefare Mountain. After braving a sleet storm, their respect for the Adirondacks was much greater. During the winter months the members mount specimens of minerals, rocks, and fossils which they have collected on their field trips. Students whose hobby is collecting rocks and minerals may exchange specimens and thus improve their collections. 103 OFFICERS President NE McK.EF.rF.

Many projects were undertaken this year. One of the most interesting was an all-night observa- tion of the heavens through the telescope at the top of Whiteface Mountain. This trip, taken by members and guests of the club, was a most enjoyable and profitable experience. After an astro- nomical lecture at the school assembly by Dr. Clyde Fisher on January 16. the Astronomers ' Club entertained the distinguished guest at an informal luncheon in the school cafeteria. Other club programs included parties and field trips. This club has been a source of stimulating information and enjoyment to all members and guests who have taken part in its various activities. in; Prfiidmt S rrtlaty Naxcy LOO Ki hs Jo x Tiioiirsox I ' iet-Presidrnt Fatuity Advistr DmmGbUM Aiici I.. Bacms DANCE CLUB The Dance Club has been organized to afford broader opportunities for those students inter- ested and gifted in the dance. The major portion of the time is devoted to modern dance tech- niques and composition. The club believes that modern dancing is a valuable means for gaining smoother body control as well as affording pleasant exercise. The year ' s activities were climaxed by a dance festival in which the club members displayed their accomplishments, and gym classes participated with various folk and tap dances. in: HO ECON CL i S 1 I .A ' - _ Pot 1 , t ,l s,l ' .,,. p M sW tv SCHF.DU.F.

Organized in 1937, this professional club is composed entirely of home economics students and faculty. Once a month there is a meeting devoted to business, educational, and social activities. A November tea dance was sponsored by the club. and. in January. Dr. W ard gave an interesting talk. As a Man Sees Home Economics. The tradition of Open House. a program for high school students and home-making teachers, which received an enthusiastic welcome last year, was even more popular this April. Pittsburgh was well represented at the State Convention of the Association of Home Economics Clubs, held in May at Syracuse. Valuable information and ideas were exchanged. Again the Fashion Show, presented at an Assembly program in May, proved the highlight of the season. 107 SUPPER CLUB OFFICERS President Dorothy Brining Secretary Mary Khith Moran- Treasurer Dorothy Jones Historian Ki.len Willey Faculty Adviser Martha A.

This purpose is attained through speakers connected with rural affairs and through such activities as taffy pulls, skating, parties and picnics, all of which are planned in a way that could be adapted to the entertainment program of a rural school. The club has planned to introduce a new activity in the near future, namely, craft work. It is felt that this should prove both entertaining and instructive. All students of the school are eligible for membership to the club, which maintains its success through the able leadership of its advisers. Miss Patterson and Mr. Mover. This year delegates were sent to the Rural Life Convention at Oneonta. Here they met with delegates from all over the state for an exchange of ideas pertaining to rural-life problems. A successful year was completed with the annual picnic in May. la- Third tikc — .1 . Powers, McSelis. Hart. Squires, Link, oknson, K.

Doctor, Slade THE EXPERIMENT The newspaper was organized for two purposes. First, to serve as an outlet for the expression of student opinions and journalistic talents, and second, to promote school spirit by making each student more aware of the part lie plays in this schtxjl. The House of Delegate appropriated one hundred and fifty dollars for a series of experiment.!! issues. With this money the staff was ;il le to put out live issues. Their final issue represented the type of newspaper the staff hopes to be able to publish next year. Whereas in other years the average student was ignorant of many events occurring in the school, the newspaper was the means of bringing sports, social, theatrical, humorous, and political news to the students. The newspaper also served as a reminder of school events and stimulated par- ticipation in them. Because no suitable title was submitted for the paper, the staff called these issues The Experiment. However, this name is only temporary, and a permanent one will take its place next year. 110 CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS FORUM This year, with the world in turmoil., and panic close to our own door, the need for intelligent group-discussion of contemporary problems became apparent i many students. A few members of the Junior Class took the initial step toward such a club, and with the cooperation of Dr. Diebolt, adviser, an active organization was begun. The purpose of the Contemporary Problems Forum is to search for the facts in regard to national and international affairs, and to attempt a synthesis of those facts. Among the questions already probed are: 1. W hat shall be the attitude of United States toward Japan: 2. If the Axis Powers conquer Europe, what policy shall the United States adopt? Other le-s immediate topics, such ai Propaganda, are ii the lisi foi future discussion. The meetings are informal gatherings in the Student Lounge, the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. A committee of five is elected each week to scleci a vital problem. This committee then conducts intensive research and prepares detailed material to bring before the group. Con- tributions from the whole body are, however, expected, and the one requisite for membership is willingness to read and participate. Parasites arc unwelcome. The club displays every possibility of growth. It will undoubtedly remain as a permanent asset to the student body, even should the present world turmoil be eventually quieted. Ill dine ' n dance THIS WINGED HOPE Forgive me. World, if ' .chile ye frel and moan. While citadel on citadel bursts ' .vide With ' .car and politics and poverty — Forgive me, if I seem too starry-eyed. I cannot garb myself in black, nor mask The hope that lights my countenance, I tried — Drew dozen the corners of my mouth, and held Long council zcith my stern, prosaic side. But . oh, no fetters can restrain my thoughts. They ' z-e leaped into a boundless realm tonight. Where Saturn swings his moons in measured time, To frolic with a silver satellite. Roll on along your pattern path, good Earth, And heed ye not the little men zcho quarrel; So mortal zcarriors can siverve your course, For all they tear your skirts and tramp your laurel. Sor zvill the laurel die; for ye have bred Great men to hold it high. Each verdant Spring Sends forth a husband zcith his hoe and trozcel T o clear the ground for renezced flozcering. From Saturn ' s throne I see the tendril zcind And stoutly pass, unharmed, through battlefield — To fertile soil. Oh, Earth, fear not the death Of any seed ye bear, or blossom yield. This zcinged hope that zcafts me to a star. This promise that men live by year on year, Will ne ' er desert her sons. Forgive me. World. If in this shadozced hour. I shed no tear. — Jlne A. Adams. 117
