We, the creators of another such volume, feel that One Tomorrow, has surely been attained in the birth of a new foundation, a Teachers College, and in the emergence of additional ideals. And so, with these achievements proudly in mind, we dedicate this vol¬ ume of the Evergreen to the Spirit of Progress that will lead us on to a loftier achievement, the State Teachers College of Another Tomorrow. IN MEMORIAM DR. WILLIAM J. HOLLOWAY BORN January 29, 1873 DIED March 14, 1936 DR. HOLLOWAY was prominent in Maryland educational circles for more than two decades. Beginning his services as a teacher, his advancement was continuous. He became high school principal, a County Superintendent of Schools, and later Assistant State Superintendent of Maryland Schools. He reached his highest achievement when he became the Prin¬ cipal of the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury. It was here he made use of his philosophy of education by putting to practical use his thorough knowledge of the needs in education. His good judgement was evidenced in the choice of location of the school, the execution of the building program, and the construction of a curriculum for the efficient training of teachers for the children of Maryland. His fundamental philosophies are well stated in quota¬ tions from the creed of the Class of 1934 of which he was adviser. We believe: That universal education is essential in a democracy. That we should cheerfully avail ourselves of every op¬ portunity, while .in service, to grow in personal qualities and in ability to teach and govern a school. That the elementary school touching, as it does, earliest and longest, the lives of the nation ' s children, is the most important of our educational institutions. That, although we may encounter problems that will challenge every ability to think clearly and judge wisely and act resolutely, we should attack them with an abundant faith in the ultimate triumph of right. ' ' ote wot With the sincere hope that this volume will serve in future years to intensify the memories of the activities and per¬ sonalities of the present college year, we, the editors, present the Evergreen of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Six to the students and friends of the State Teachers College at Salisbury.

Such adaptation has been fostered materially by the passage of Senate Bill No. 448 which, when signed by Governor Nice, changed the names of the three State Normal Schools for white teachers to four year degree granting Teachers Colleges, effective June 1, 1935. That the objective of the first two years of the four year curriculum, to give regular academic training, is being at¬ tained, is evidenced by the fact that three academic colleges, in addition to the University of Maryland, have agreed to give full junior standing to such of our students as have com¬ pleted the first two years ' work with an average grade of C ' or better. Students are now being given the opportunity to elect courses they most desire. This enables them to com¬ plete the first two year requirements differing in the several colleges to which they may transfer, and affords them an opportunity for guidance and the development of their re¬ spective abilities. The addition of many academic courses enables the individual student to secure an all-around de¬ velopment as a basis for additional academic or professional training. Such students as have completed the first two years of the academic curriculum with an average grade of C or better are being allowed to remain in the college for the teacher training work. The one objective of the last two years of the four year college curriculum continues to be the preparation of prospective teachers for the elementary schools THE EVERGREEN of Maryland. Such preparation includes academic and pro¬ fessionalized subject matter courses as well as directed teach¬ ing. Only students who complete the four year curriculum will be required to teach. During this year, the enrollment has been the largest in the history of the school. Of the approximately two hun¬ dred students enrolled, eighty, or forty per cent, have been young men students. This has enabled the college to extend the scope of such extra curricular activities as athletics, dra¬ matics, glee club, literary societies, men ' s chorus, and orches¬ tra. With the changed curriculum, the increased enrollment of students, young men especially, and the addition of more faculty members, the future of the State Teachers College at Salisbury is assured. With the increased demand for ele¬ mentary teachers in Maryland during the coming years, a life of genuine service is anticipated for each of our graduates. JEFFERSON D. BLACKWELL THE EVERGREEN THE COLLEGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THE ELEMENTARY School, which is a very necessary part of the Teachers College, is a four-room school which offers instruction in grades one to seven. Each of three rooms accommodates two grades under the instruction of one teacher. The first and second grades occupy one room and have, as a teacher, Miss Lillian Parker; grades three and four are in a second room under the instruction of Miss Pauline Riall; a third room contains grades five and six with Miss Beulah Dixon as teacher. The fourth room has only the seventh grade and the instruction is largely departmentalized. Mrs. Tracy Holland has the major responsibility for unifying the work of the room, but she teaches only a part of the time. Other teachers who are sharing the work of this room are Miss A. H. Matthews, Miss Henrietta Purnell, Miss Helen Jamart, Miss Margaret Black, and Mr. Benn Maggs, of the college faculty, and Miss Martha White, a member of the present college senior class. The total enrollment of the school is 126. Each room is limited to a maximum of 35 pupils. This makes an enroll¬ ment in each grade of from 17 to 18 pupils except the seventh ' ' hich has 21. THE EVERGREEN The school has two major purposes. The first is a very obvious one, viz., to provide a standard elementary school education for the pupils enrolled. The second is to provide a laboratory which will furnish opportunities along four lines: (1) for definite pupil contact, by the student in training, so that the student may study the children as such. Understand¬ ing of the child is fundamental to all else; (2) for students to interpret and apply professional content courses such as Technique of Teaching, Teaching Problems, and Educational Psychology; (3) for college instructors of a definite situation with the view of rendering better assistance to the begin¬ ning student teacher; (4) for the critic teacher to have regular access to the specialists who are familiar with laboratory needs. The College Elementary School is used only for the first stage of laboratory experience which is usually called Obser¬ vation and Participation. The second and final stage is done in the Salisbury schools and consists almost wholly of actual responsible teaching. T. J. CARUTHERS, PRINCIPAL, College Elementary School THE EVERGREEN JEFFERSON D.

Recognizing the value of each of these concepts, but realizing, also, that a certain amount of each is necessary, modern educators have pro¬ posed that we blend these two principles so that we may enjoy a well bal¬ anced life. Every individual has certain ideals, attitudes, and emotions which are either a result of his original nature or of his observations and meditations concerning the life about him. It is not enough, however, to harbor these ideals in one ' s mind. To assure a healthy mental life, there must be some means of emission effected by which man ' s attitudes and emotions may be carried over to his fellow men. The medium for this is to be found in the use and appreciation of art, literature, and music, which trio constitutes the aesthetic side of life. It is, therefore, the duty of education not only to bring these two extremes together, but to act as a catalyst for the unison of them. The modern trend of education consists largely of integrations. The mature mind of the teacher is called upon to select those vital factors which produce well-rounded personalities and to combine with them the principles of education. In accomplishing this, she is doing more than merely broaden¬ ing her outlook on life; she is weaving into her professional work some¬ thing which it is beyond the power of man to remove. Throughout our sojourn at the Sta ' e Teachers College, we have been given every possible advantage which years of training and experience could offer. We are ready now to depart from our Alma Mater; to thrust ourselves, with all the vigor of youth, into the profession which we have chosen. We will not all measure our success in similar terms; nor will the actual teaching of any two of us be identical. Whatever we do, however, the old Greek ideals will appear before us. Instead of learning knowledge for knowledge ' s sake, or of participating in pleasure for pleasure ' s sake alone, we will attempt to let both our lives and our teaching be a living example of perfect balance and harmony. We will not neglect the fundamental necessities of life, which it is everyone ' s duty to know, but we will endeavor to instill in the minds of our pupils the proper attitudes and appreciations which go with them. 38 HOW WE ' LL REMEMBER THEM THE EVERGREEN Adams Marching Oland Fiery Spirit Bachtell Dentyne Gum Pruitt Red Hair Burns Witty Remarks Riggin Roller Skates Carey, S.

And then I saw a path both steep and bare: From it no forks, no light my grief to share. That path I took, resolved to see it through. Then from my dream I woke in mortal fear: I saw as plain as day the path to take. It was a path that leads through briar and fen; That makes me want to dry my fellow ' s tear. That path means love for all, myself forsake: My life I give to help my fellow men.

Such were the cries that we heard as we left dear old Salisbury for an indefinite airplane trip of the United States in 1946. At the station we recognized some of the students who had been jolly sophomores at S.T.C. in 1936. Great was our surprise when we saw WADE CARUTHERS who still had a shadow only of different size. As we were entering the plane we spied a flaming red head; we yelled Reds and the person turned, exposing the familiar face of IRMA BRITTINGHAM. Soon after we left we were forced down at Cambridge by a heavy fog, and, upon visiting a drug store, we found WALTER McALLISTER as soda jerker. JACK CAVENDER entered while we were there, and he told us that he was living in Cambridge with his wife. He also told us that JEROME FLETCHER was teaching at the high school and still had the old habit of falling in love with the freshman girls. The fog soon lifted, and we flew over to Blackiston ' s Island in the Chesapeake where we found MAX HUGHES as mayor of the island. On the door of the island parsonage we saw the familiar name of Rev. Wheat- ley , and on entering we were greeted by the former VIVIAN BOUNDS of S.T.C. We then took a short hop over to Tilghman ' s Island where we beheld CHARLOTTE LOWE hard at work teaching her children the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece. Just as we were about to take off, we met GWYN- ETTE THOMPSON, who was very enthusiastic over her contract to build a bridge to the mainland, thus making it no longer necessary to wade. At Annapolis we stopped for a tour of the historic buildings and were amazed to find DOLLY WATERS hostess at the Bryce House. On the way back to the plane we spied two inseparable pals—LAURA VIRGINIA WHITE and REBECCA WOOTTEN—on their way to work, carrying their lunches in bread baskets. As we were running short of gas, we decided to stop at the Hoover Airport in Washington. While the familiar mechanic, PETE WHITE, was looking over the plane, we decided to stop and visit the Barnum-Bailey Cir¬ cus which was in town. We were very proud to find that the program consisted mainly of our former classmates. First, among these was NAN CULLEN, who had come to be the Man on the Flying Trapeze ' s rival. Next, we recognized CAROLYN HORSEY and WILLARD STEVENS as the world ' s tallest couple. We were also surprised to see FRANCES PARSONS and MARGARET HASTINGS as the world ' s only non-related pair passing as identical twins. We travelled north from Washington and had to make a forced landing near the little country village of Smithsburg. On inguiring at the farm house for a telephone, we were greeted by ARDIE WINTERS, who informed us that he was writing a book entitled Psychological Basis of Why a Pig ' s Tail Curls. We recognized among his farm hands BOBBY HEATWOLE, the famous Rip Van Winkle, asleep on the haystack, and Graham Hayman, who 44 THE EVERGREEN reminded us of Stephen Fetchitt. That night at Smithsburq ' s only theatre, we heard an amateur program, and we were very proud of BILL WILLIAMS, who took tenth place with a solo, and SANFORD SMITH, who captured eleventh place with his dancing; there were twelve contestants. The next morning we visited the only school and found LILLIAN HOUGH teaching the poor kids music, and in her spare time she was reading sonnets com¬ posed by the world-famous sonneteer, FRANCIS FLETCHER. We could not leave our native state without visiting Baltimore where we found JOSEPHINE WARREN busily surveying the park by the moonlight. On further strolling we met our former president, RICHARD SHERIDAN, who informed us that he was still planning to do great things, but on further strolling, we met RACHEL MITCHELL, still a man-hater ' ' , who informed us that he never got around to do them. Over in a secluded spot we spied a couple. We knew then that FRANCES WALLACE still had her big love affairs, even though she had tried to fool the public. On the street we met EVELYN JORDAN, who was doing some research work on the Laws of Matrimony. From Baltimore we flew to New York, and at the opera house we found our old class adviser, BENN MAGGS, conducting the New York Symphony, with BILL DAY playing the bass viol. On the stage we heard JEANNE HOL¬ LOWAY singing Sweet William ' ' , and this was followed by MARJORIE SCHOOLFIELD, singing The Earle King. Out of curiosity we decided to visit Harlem, where we found RAYMOND DIXON running a bar room, while next door a marionette show was being directed by CHARLOTTE POWELL. Beside her stood her white bodyguard and ARTHUR SOMERVILLE, who acted as stage director. After the show RUTH WILKINS did the fan dance, accompanied by EUNICE HOOPER play¬ ing her Spanish guitar. From New York we flew westward, stopping at Chicago. Here, in one of the countr y ' s largest chemistry laboratories, we found BETTY HARCUM, who had just completed an experiment on how to teach mosquitoes birth control. Here we had the privilege of hearing a most important contest be¬ tween BETSY OWENS and BOBBY SMITH to see who could possibly say the dumbest things. At the city hall we heard ISABELLE WIMBROW in a declamation contest, her subject being The Advantage of Being Frank. Here we saw a poster announcing The National Convention of the Home¬ makers ' Club, presided over by ELEANOR LONG. After leaving Chicago, we proceeded westward to Los Angles, where the Olympics were in full sway. We were proud of LESLIE PURNELL and AL CROZAT who were defending the U. S. mixed doubles tennis cham¬ pionship, with TESSIE WIER acting as official referee for the game. Later we saw MIRIAM BEACHLEY do honors by winning them. Down on the wharf, we were amazed to see L UCILLE TESTERMAN waving fondly to a lad dressed in blue, as the U. S. Navy sailed away. 45 THE EVERGREEN SOPHOMORE JOKES Chem.

Not content with being amateurs, we try professional stuff. In our recent Freshman program none other than foe Penner (Marion Wheatley), Walt Winchell (Bob Cannon), Shirley Temple and Freddie Bar- tholemew (Phyllis Greenwood, Billy fester) were present. Although it was April, we had Molasses ' n ' fanuary , in the person of Bert Gibbons, besides some other radio, stage, and screen celebrities. This performance would not have been complete without our famous Master of Ceremonies, lack Benny, (Billy Blades) and the nation-wide known tapper, Fred Astaire (Wilson Dun¬ can) .... and foe Penner ' s duck, GOO-GOO — Isn ' t it strange the princes and kings, And clowns that caper in sawdust rings, And common folk like you and me Are builders for eternity.

FRESHMAN PARTY To our delight Miss Simonds was the striking figure of the freshman party. Sh sh—I tell you why the mistletoe was hanging low from every door and the center of the room. The stag line formed around the doors and the cen¬ ter, but one really couldn ' t blame them. Watch out, Jim. FRESHMAN PROM Not content to excel in everything else, the freshmen are the tops when it comes to having dances. On March 20th we showed the other classes what a good dance is like. The presence of many upperclassmen proved the attractiveness of the dance in general and some of the freshmen in particular. 50 THE EVERGREEN FRESHMAN JOKES Student Council believes in close companionship. (Guess whol) Maybe it is because her name is Kate, that ' s why the boys have to see the moon come over the mountain. Although things look Blackiston, it Max no differences to us. We are glad again southern breezes are blowing in after moving away from Cambridge. Don ' t forget the Red Bird. Isn ' t it strange that when the telephone rings June Purnell is always in the bath tub.

Do you think it possible for upper classmen to do without us??? Especially for substitutes. BOYS ' ATHLETICS S. T. C. ' s soccer team was made up mostly of freshmen, namely: Burton, Bailey, Jester, Wheatley, Day, and Perry, forwards; To dd, Holland, Givarz, Duncan, Davis, and Long, backs. The outlook for next season seems very bright. The boys having played together for one year will be able to begin the next season with a renewed spirit of cooperation and teamwork. Day, Bailey, Givarz, Matthews, and Todd were able to acquire berths on the 1936 basketball team. The coaching of Day, Givarz, and Bailey was out¬ standing throughout the entire season. We hope that these boys will be back again to reap honors for our college. The freshman class is proud of its three acrobats: Watson, Matthews, and Burton. These boys have worked hard and deserve credit for their gym work. They have done many daring stunts which have brought thrills to their on-looking spectators. 52 o R G A N I Z A T I O N S THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief SAMUEL SHERWELL Associate Editor FRANCES PARSONS Literary Editor VIVIAN BOUNDS Business Manager SAMUEL CAREY Assistant Business Manager WADE CARUTHERS Athletic Editor JEROME FLETCHER Proof Reader CAROLYN HORSEY Typist Walter McAllister Senior Reporter MARY E.

T. J. CARUTHERS THE STUDENT Council, the advisory body of our Teachers College, aims to furnish means through which both faculty and students may co-operate in all school activities. It is made up of two representatives from each class, elected by the student body and one faculty member selected by the faculty. One of the main accomplishments of the Student Council this year was the establishment of standards for the dances, which provided for distinction between classes by differentiation in the length of the dances. It is to the credit of the Student Council that its decisions have been re¬ spected and subscribed to by the students. 54 CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Adviser MARIE KEESEE LUCILLE TESTERMAN REBECCA ADAMS KATHERINE ANTHONY MR. T. I. CARUTHERS AT THE beginning of this year the Y. W. C. A. decided to become an organization to which both men and women could be admitted, hence it adopted the name, Christian Association. The Vesper service program for the year has been carried on under a definite aim, the topic of which has been Education and Religious Growth. Ministers from Salisbury, faculty members, and students from our college have spoken at these services. Often the topics discussed have been fol¬ lowed by discussion in a conference meeting during the week. As a group we feel that through our activities this year we have con¬ tributed in three ways toward the religious growth of our fellow classmates: in Vespers we have continued reverent devotional services; through our dis¬ cussions, and attendance by several members at the Washington College Conference and local conferences, we have extended our concepts of religion; and, through our hikes, teas, picnics, etc., we have fostered a closer asso¬ ciation among the members of the student body. 55 V‘� THE EVERGREEN CARNEAN LITERARY SOCIETY President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Adviser Acting Adviser Mascot ELLEN GREIG CHARLOTTE POWELL RUTH TODD LAURA PARSONS MISS HENRIETTA PURNELL MISS ANNE MATTHEWS PEP Dear Diary, Three cheers!

Well, we ' ve started up Silver Cup Road with Friend Mickey. First sign read, Once upon a time. Pep to Mickey: Will you be my valentine and dance with me? Then another sign said Spelling Contest.

Well, Dear Diary, it ' s over—another year, I mean. A year of surprises and changes, it ' s true, but a year filled with joy and friendship, keen rivalry and fun, and sealed with the true sportsmanship slogan of May the best team win. And so ' tis c ' est fini ; or is it? Right now I ' m looking into the future of S. T.

WILLIAM HOWARD BENNETT THERE HAVE been two outstanding achievements of the Sophanes Players during the year 1935-1936. Why The Chimes Rang”, a very colorful Christmas pageant staged in the college auditorium December 15, was the first financially successful play ever produced by this organization. During the year there was launched an effort to train dramatic coaches. Mr. William Blades successfully produced Christmas At Casey ' s.” For entertainment, the Players dabbled in one-act plays, the most note¬ worthy being The Lost Elevator” which was reproduced for the Student ' s Conference on April 24. 60 GRANGE THE NEWLY reorganized grange bases its bid for fame upon the fact that it was the first grange to be organized in any Normal School in the United States. It has in the state of Maryland one sister student grange at the University of Maryland which enjoys the similiar distinction of being the first student grange to be established in a university in the United States. The re-organization of this student grange indicates a spirit of kindred- ship between this school and the rural community which may well be fostered by prospective rural teachers. 61 THE EVERGREEN DAY STUDENTS ' ASSOCIATION President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Adviser CORMEDAH FLEETWOOD ISABELLE WIMBROW MARTHA WHITE IRMA LEE DISHAROON MISS PAULINE RIALL BUREAU OF INFORMATION Note:—Some persons believe that the Main Office is responsible for answers to the numerous questions which arise in regard to all matters concerning our college.

SKLAR PHOTOGRAPHIC CO.—We can speak in behalf of the entire State Teachers College in letting you know that we are indeed ashamed of our Frosh for having so completely destroyed your camera, but we earnestly hope that a new one will not be a very great expense to you. (We are considerate in omitting our photograph.) FIVE AND DIME SCHOOL SUPPLY DEPARTMENTS—We are sorry to keep you so busy, but it is our great desire that you will not run out of stock before June. NUMEROUS INQUIRIES—113% of the students of Wicomico High School join us because of our good training and varied social activities. MISS RUTH ' S TELEPHONE—We offer apologies to you for having to ring so often; but, don ' t worry, we ' ll let you rest for three whole months. THE DOG CATCHER—We are sorry we could not afford much business for you this year, but we have formulated the habit of throwing the remains of our lunches in the waste basket, and even Murphy” failed to survive on the crumbs.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN—No, dear children, another year under such accomplished assistant teachers will not have to be endured. 62 THE EVERGREEN HOME ASSOCIATION HOME ASSOCIATION President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Social Director Ass ' t.

We feel that our members have cooperated to the fullest. They have kept their rooms in excellent condition and haven ' t forgotton that cheerful smile.” An annual event, the picnic to Ocean City, was, as usual, an enjoyable affair. Each year the association presents a gift of social value to the school. This year it was a ping-pong table. Teas held on Sunday afternoons were enjoyed by faculty, students, and guests. One outstanding event was the annual Sunday afternoon of music given by Miss Ruth Truitt, a well-known violinist of Salisbury. This year she was accompanied by an ensemble of eight violinists. 63 THE EVERGREEN Salisbury College, you are the Salisbury College you are the best, Better are you than all of the rest.

BEST 64 A T H L E T I C S THE EVERGREEN THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Advisers BRENDA BRADFORD ARDIE WINTERS EILEEN HALES DAVID PERRY MISS HELEN JAMART, BENN MAGGS THE ATHLETIC Association is the sponsor of all athletic activities at S.T.C. Through membership in this organization one is eligible to take part in these athletic activities. One may expect this association to have the largest enrollment in the school. It is through the Athletic Association that numerals and letters are awarded. A student must accumulate a reguired number of points to re¬ ceive one of these awards. The purpose of these is to stimulate athletics to the highest possible accomplishments. Credit is given for participation in: soccer, basketball, tennis, gym exhibition, and social dancing. It is customary for this association to sponsor a formal dance. This year it was held on May 1. Our first leap year dance was sponsored by the Athletic Association. It was eminently successful and we hope the cele¬ bration may become traditional. April 22, was the date of the gym exhibition. It is one of the outstand¬ ing athletic events of the year. Every student is afforded an opportunity to participate in the exhibition and the excellence and grace displayed by the participants speaks praise for the directors. Interest in this association waxes high and out of this interest grows an excellent athletic program. m I 65 THE EVERGREEN WEARERS OF THE S MAJOR LETTERS Austin, M. Givarz, G. Perry, D. Bailey, R.

We can ' t evade it, or its peculiar spell. It happens every year and yet we are never prepared for it until it has us in thrall and it is really too late to help ourselves. Spring—oh, yes, Spring! We see the whole hitherto inanimate world spring to life, yet we just sit and watch with a hazy smile and a befuddled brain. The Spring is that time of the year when the bees start to actively buzz; the birds begin to twitter and chirp mid the newly formed leaves of the trees; the flowers, the grass, all bushes and bowers and weeds—all these begin to grow; the crickets start to crick; and the family cat ■ gets a new litter of kittens! Also in the Spring we find the good old laughing sunshine. Probably laughing at some of us poor humans who have been caught unprotected in a sudden, unexpected shower of rain which hid the smiling face of papa Sun! Spring—ah, yes—Spring! It holds forth promise of the coming summer with its myriads of pulchritudinous damsels beautifying our sandy beached summer-resorts. It holds promise of graduation from college, or at least, three months of gentle bliss away from college cares. But the trouble with Spring is College! College, with its frowning ram¬ parts we enter each morning to be held imprisoned throughout the day by Duty—college is Spring ' s deflator. The student awakes in the morning and inhales the heavy fragrance of the spring air, only to be crushed by the gentle, but emphatic, reminder that he is due to class in half an hour. Ah yes, Spring, thou hast a sting! The instructor ' s lecture becomes but humdrum drivel as we watch the antics of the wingless captive fly upon our desk. No matter how interesting a subject may have been when winter was at hand, it becomes but an endless task which we must finish under the ever watchful eyes of our taskmasters, our instructors. Ever forward in our minds is the terrible ordeal of examinations which are brought ever nearer with the passage of each Spring day. Oh, dear people, pity the poor student in the Spring. Pity the poor stu¬ dent who is in love; pity the one who isn ' t. It makes no difference whether one is in love or not—Spring still takes its toll. This toll is not deadly, it isn ' t even unpleasant. In fact this spell of Spring is quite a pleasant thing. One feels so deliciously inert, so gloriously happy, so without care—but, then one thinks of college, exams, botany, economics, etc. It is unfair, dear people, utterly unfair! There is not a thing one can do to ward off Spring, with its sticky, benumbing, incessant hold! Oh, dear instructors, be not too heavy- handed with your assignments. For the trees and the breeze and the birds and the bees are all calling me. You see, it ' s Spring! ARTHUR RICHARDSON 74 H U M O R A N D A D S THE EVERGREEN 1. Pep, Vim, and Vigor. 2.

SALISBURY, MARYLAND THE EVERGREEN On Observings in Our Library After six months of careful observation in our library, I hereby take the means to make a public statement on some of the sidelights and finer points in college education. 1 think it only fair to the people who go to the library to mention the types of students which I have carefully catalogued. First, there is the industrious red-haired student who dashes in at eight o ' clock and does a week ' s work before his class which begins at 8:30 A. M. Then there are those who are always in the library during study periods in order that their less industrious friends will have something to laugh at. Also, while mentioning our types, we must not forget the students who come in to find out how far they are behind in their work in order that they can turn time to make excuses for about four different classes. Moreover, we find a few students who apparently come in to look at books, for they are up and down so many times that the librarian thinks there are twins in the library. We must also be careful not to wake up the student in the back of the library, for he is constructing important reformations in his mind and is determined not to let studies interfere with his education. Of course, there are many more types, but since we have a small library, only two more shall be mentioned. First, there is that boy and girl who gaze first at a book and then at each other and finally decide that the book is an intruder. Last, and most important, is that pale boy who years eye-glasses and stays with his nose between the pages of a book so often that visitors often inguire who made that charming library ornament. So, dear public, since you know who is in our library, let us see what these people are doing. That tall boy over there so absorbed in a conver¬ sation is telling a joke he can hold no longer. But that rather short, corpulent black-haired boy is busy, for he is copying a few weeks ' outline from a girl friend ' s note-book. The boy sitting at the table in the center is concen¬ trating on some deep subject. In fact, he is trying to figure how to take out a pile of magazines without the librarian seeing him. The four boys sitting at the back of the library are holding a conference for there is the problem to be settled of exchanging dances at the next dance and we must leave them alone, for there is no place in the world suitable for settling such a problem as in a library. This peaceful atmosphere of learning is broken by two things, the few restless students who, for no apparent reason, go get a gook from the shelf and read in it, and the small, heavy-bearded little fellow who walks from table to table just to brighten up things. 82 THE EVERGREEN It is of great interest to add that few things can break up this monotonous routine in our library. First, if some one enters the library there, of course, must be an inspection. If someone whistles outside the window, a further investigation is demanded. Finally, but least disturbing is the shower bath quartet which often strikes a chord outside of the library door. Of course, this requires a moment of our valuable time, for it is not often we hear such lovely voices blended together. Of course, there are numerous other things to be mentioned, as treat¬ ment of books, exploration for source material, the art of sharpening a pencil, how to go about borrowing ink in a noisy way, and various others, but I think it only fair to mention the unsung heroines of college life, the librarians. While one tries to find a book for one student, the other has to keep watch to whether a dog has been brought in the library, or whether the freshmen have tied the curtain string around a sophomore ' s neck and raised the cur¬ tain. In either case, however, they remain faithful to their duty and are willing at all times to help students find their material or to give advice on picking the easiest research topics. I am glad to say in behalf of the students that these efforts are appreciated even though actions of the students might lead less observing people to think otherwise. And now you know what our library is like, I am sure that you will agree with me when I say that the words ' Tibeary ' ' and college ' ' are synonymous.
