A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS As adviser to the Senior Class of 1938, I wish for each of you a life of genuine usefulness. Being members of the first regularly enrolled class graduating from the four-year curriculum at the State Teachers College at Salisbury, you are the first to be given the responsibility for demonstrating to the people of Maryland, especially, the advantages of the four over the three-year curriculum. You each possess, not only a splendid general college training as a result of having satisfactorily completed the two-year academic curriculum, but a relatively adequate training for teaching in the elementary schools obtained during the completion of the two-year professional curriculum. In addition, you have each developed leadership qualities by having taken an active part in the different extracurricular activities of the college. The words of the illustrious Washington are appropriate to each member of a class graduating on this Sesquicentennial anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States: Every man who is in the vigor of life ought to serve his country in whatever line it requires, and he is fit for . . . Nothing but harmony, honest industry, and frugality are necessary to make a great people . . . Happiness depends more upon the internal frame of a person ' s mind, than on the externals of the world . . . Idleness is disreputable under any circumstances, productive of no good. . . . Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, conscience. . . . Let us impart the blessings we possess, or ask for ourselves, to the whole family of mankind. J. D. BLACKWELL, President Ten EDUCATION LABORATORY SCHOOLS From a professional point of view the four-year curriculum of the State Teachers College at Salisbury may be divided into four types of courses: professional background courses, professional content courses, and profes¬ sional laboratory courses. Courses given under the fourth type are conducted in connection with actual classroom activities in the laboratory schools. The courses include directed observation, participation in classroom instruction in the campus school, responsible teaching over longer periods of time in the Salisbury schools, technigue of teaching, and problems in teaching. The laboratory facilities of the college include a four-room campus elementary school and six rooms in the city schools of Salisbury. The demonstration teachers in the campus laboratory school are Mrs. Emily Collins Morris, first and second grades; Miss Pauline Riall, third and fourth grades; Miss Margaret Weant, fifth and sixth grades; and Mrs. Frances Lord Holland, sixth and seventh grades. The teachers in the city laboratory schools are Miss Belle Smith, first grade; Mrs. Berkeley James, second grade; Mrs. Louise Francis, third grade; Mrs. Mae Torry, fourth grade; Miss Gertrude Killiam, third grade; Miss Mollie Parker, seventh grade; and Miss Emma Marks, seventh grade. The laboratory schools are the proving grounds for all courses and educa¬ tional theories taught. As such they should and do occupy a prominent place in the education of teachers. T. J.

MIRIAM ANNETTE BEACHLEY ROBERTA LOUISE BUTLER L, .■ Alt-fa 7a e RACHEL JEANETTE MITCHELL ARTHUR C.SOMERVELL LUCILLE TESTERMAN ELIZABETH WILSON OWENS LOUISE GWYNETTE THOMPSON RUTH ELIZABETH WILKINS EVELYN MAUDE JORDAN FRANCES PARSONS WILLARD LESLIE STEVENS FLORENCE LEE WATERS THE SENIOR ELASS (With apologies to James Madison whose notes describing the people at the Constitutional Convention were expressed in just such a style as these.) From Hagerstown MIRIAM ANNETTE BEACHLEY Miss Beachley is a lady of outstanding musical talent and artistic dramatic ability. She is about twenty-one years old, of small stature and lean. She has been execu¬ tive of the Glee Club during 1937-38 and was vice-president of the class of 1936-37. She has also been a member of the Baglean Society and the Athletic Association. She is undoubtedly the class stylist and beauty expert. From Salisbury VIVIAN LORAINE BOUNDS Miss Bounds has indeed been one of the outstanding personalities in our midst. She is of medium height, and possesses a charm which has won her many friends. Her dependability and leadership qualities are displayed through her ability to fill such important offices as treasurer of the Dramatic Club in 1934-35; secretary of the class in 1935-36; literary editor of the Staff during 1935-36 and 1936-37; president of the Baglean Society in 1936-37; member of the Board of Directors in the Dramatic Club, and editor-in-chief of the Publications Staff in 1937-38. From Bishopville IRMA MORRIS BRITTINGHAM Miss Brittingham while working here with us has disproved the conception that red hair denotes a fiery temper. She has been most cooperative and has never lost control of that red-haired temper. She is a hard worker which was clearly shown while she acted as vice-president of the Home Association. She has taken part in many extracurricular activi¬ ties, namely, the Christian Association, Carnean Society, Dramatic Club, Grange, and Athletic Association. From Denton ROBERTA LOUISE BUTLER Miss Butler is small and of a quiet nature. She is an experienced teacher, having taught in the elementary schools for eight years. After attending the State Normal School at Towson for two years, where she was a member of the Pestalozzi Literary Society and of the Girl Scouts, she taught for six years and then came here for the third year of teacher training work. During this time she was a member of the Carnean Society, Y. W. C. A., and the Glee Club. After two more years of teaching, she returned here in 1937 to work for her B.S. degree in education. She has been a very active member in the Grange during 1937-38. Twenty-six From Salisbury JAMES WADE CARUTHERS Mr. Caruthers is tall, dark, and as much like Father Professor as—well, both minds run in the deepest channels of profound thought— enquires into every part of his sub¬ ject with the searchings of philosophy, and when he comes forward he comes highly charged with interesting matter; there is no skimming over the surface of a subject with him; he must sink to the bottom to see what foundation it rests on. He has been active during his four years here, serving as secretary of the class during 1936-37; treasurer of the class in 1937-38; a member of the Men ' s Chorus 1934-38; president of the Athletic Association during 1936-37; and president of the Orchestra 1937-38. From Pocomoke NAN POLK CULLEN Miss Cullen brought to S. T. C. much of that gentleness and politeness which is so characteristic of the Southern aristocracy. She has won her way into the hearts of all. Her work here as secretary of the Home Association in 1934-35, of the class in 1937-38 and of the Baglean-Carnean Society in 1937-38, has been outstanding. She acted as vice-president of the Glee Club during 1936-37, performing her duties quite capably. Miss Cullen can always be depended on to do her work well. From Waldorf JEROME FLETCHER Mr. Fletcher is a young Gentleman of the most promising talents. He is, although but 22 years of age, in possession of a very great variety of knowledge. He has served for two years on the Student Council, has acted as president of the Men ' s Glee Club during 1937-38, as vice-president of the class in 1934-35, and as president of the class in 1936-37. He is a man of good sense, plain in his manners, and sincere in his friendships. From Salisbury JEANNE GERTRUDE HOLLOWAY Miss Holloway excels in athletics and dancing; her action is natural, swimming, and graceful. In music, also, she has shown abilities, oftentimes doing solo work and obbli¬ gatos with the Glee Club of which organization she was vice-president during the year 1935- 36, and president in 1936-37. Her executive qualities were demonstrated when she acted as president of the class during 1937-38. Her artistry in the use of her candid camera secured for her the position of staff photographer. Tweny-seven From Salisbury CAROLYN HORSEY Miss Horsey, though small in stature, is not small in mind. She has a remarkably well developed mind which can always see both sides of the question. This characteristic, along with many other good ones, has won her the presidency of the Day Students ' Associa¬ tion during 1937-38, and the vice-presidency of the Carnean Society during 1936-37. Also for four years she has served on the Publications Staff, working as associate editor during 1937-38. Not only has she been a participant in literary activities, but she has been one of the most alert and efficient members of the Girls ' Athletic Team. From Seneca LILLIAN ELIZABETH HOUGH Miss Hough is a lady of unusual personality. She is friendly toward all but intimate with only a few. She is a good executive, having served during the years 1936-37 and 1937-38 as president of the Student Council, which is one of the highest college honors attainable, and during 1936-37, as overseer of the Grange. Miss Hough has shown outstand¬ ing athletic ability during her work here, being proficient in all forms of athletics. Her work will be long remembered. From Salisbury EVELYN MAUDE JORDAN Miss Jordan is the southerner of the class; that accent in her speech adds much to an already interesting personality. This person of small stature has displayed her execu¬ tive ability by serving as vice-president of the Day Students ' Association in 1936-37 and president of the Athletic Association during 1937-38. All four years here she was an active member of the Baglean Society and of the Dramatic Club. She is very individual in all her work; often she tries her hand at verse and art. From Salisbury RACHEL JEANNETTE MITCHELL Miss Mitchell is one of the two Titian-haired members of the class. She is a determined person in both mind and actions, and as a result, almost always occomplishes what she sets out to do. People who were associated with her work in the Dramatic Club and especially as president of that organization during 1937-38 can testify that this is true. She was president of the Day Students ' Association during 1936-37 and has been a member of the Baglean Society, Glee Club, and Athletic Association. Twenty-eight From Salisbury ELIZABETH WILSON OWENS Miss Owens is easy and unreserved in her acquaintance and has a most agree¬ able style of conversation. She is undoubtedly the Venus of modern times. Her chief interests lie in dramatics and assembly productions. She served as vice-president of the Dramatic Club in 1936-37 and as a student chairman (a newly created office) for assem¬ bly programs during the year 1937-38. From Salisbury FRANCES PARSONS Miss Parsons possesses a most energetic and seemingly limitless capacity for work. She has displayed a deep interest in newspaper work, as she was associate editor of the school Publications Staff in 1935-36, editor-in-chief in 1936-37, and business manager in 1937-38. Aside from her work in the writing field, Miss Parsons has been a real helper in the Carnean Society in the years 1934-36. Her aptitude at organization and logic will stand her in good stead in the teaching field. Her character is marked for integrity and per¬ severance. From Salisbury ARTHUR C. SOMERVELL Mr. Somervell, a man of fair and pleasing countenance, aside from his sweet¬ heart-ache , has been interested mainly in dramatic productions. His aptitude at stage and property managing warranted his election to the positions of vice-president of the Sophanes Players in 1935-36, and president in 1936-37. He has also been an enthusiastic participant in gymnastic work and in the activities of his class and of the Baglean Society. He has a very capable mind and in his train of thinking, there is something regular, deep and compre¬ hensive . From Snow Hill WILLARD LESLIE STEVENS Mr. Stevens can indeed be called the Man of the Three B ' s”—Baby Boy of his class, Bass of the deepest type, and Baton wielder. His interests and activities are variable in nature since he has been a member of the Baglean Society, Men ' s Chorus, Dramatic Club, and the Athletic Association. Though inconspicuous in manner, he is one of the most indi¬ vidualistic and comical members of the class. Twenty-nine From Princess Anne LUCILLE TESTERMAN Miss Testermcrn blends together the athletic and social interests with the Scholar”, thus producing a well rounded individual with square cut ideals. She is most certainly what one would term a brunette. She is capable of many accomplishments as she has portrayed in her work as vice-president of the Christian Association in 1935-36, lecturer of the Grange in 1936-37, overseer of the Grange in 1937-38, and president of the Home Association during the years 1936-37 and 1937-38. She is a neat and pleasing speaker, and a most correct and able writer . From Hurlock LOUISE GWYNETTE THOMPSON Miss Thompson through a great deal of interest has become quite a Scholar”; however she has always shared in extracurricular responsibilities. Always attentive to her duty” she served as vice-president of the Christian Association in 1936-37, and as presi¬ dent of that same organization in 1937-38, and also as vice-president of the Athletic Asso¬ ciation, of which she has been an active member for four years. In public speaking, Miss Thompson has something strong and rich in her expression, clear and convincing in her arguments”. From Salisbury EDNA FRANCES WALLACE Miss Wallace, of tall stature and slender, has a keen sense of humor. She is the type of individual who takes her time in doing things, but does them well. She never rushes headlong into anything until she has thought twice, and never speaks but when she under¬ stands her subject well”. She has been very active in the Carnean Society, Glee Club, Orchestra, and has served as vice-president of the class in 1937-38, and vice-president of the Girls ' Day Association in 1937-38. From Oriole FLORENCE LEE WATERS Miss Waters, a tall dark girl, is not only responsible for the reorganization of the Baglean-Carnean Society, but for the rapid increase of interest in the aforesaid” organ¬ ization. She has served as president of the Baglean-Carnean Society during 1937-38 and as secretary of the class in 1936-37. She is connected and clear in her arguments, conceives well, and cherishes as her first virtue, a love for her county.” From Salisbury RUTH ELIZABETH WILKINS Miss Wilkins has a spirit of industry”; she believes in making the most of her time in school and in really getting something out of it. There are many phases of history on which she is capable of adding interesting sidelights. If she cannot embellish she can fur¬ nish thoughts that are wise and useful.” She possesses a smiling countenance and rarely, if ever, is troubled by such trivial matters that beset her classmates. She has been a profi¬ cient member of the Carnean Society for three years. Thirty REVERIE Only yesterday—could it really be four years ago?—fifty-one frightened little freshies stood in line waiting to sign on the dotted line at S. T. C. All around them juniors and seniors were rushing up to greet each other and the faculty members after a summer ' s vacation. They all seemed so glad to be back, seemed to feel so at home. Well, that was more than we felt. Maybe some day we would be glad to be back . . . but right then we wished we were home . A few days passed and then we, too, began walking around as though we were glad to be a part of that busy-ness that seemed to be so vital a part of S. T. C. Those first two or three weeks were overflowing with varied things to do . . . drawing slips of paper that made one a Baglean or a Carnean . . . getting acquainted with the dorm students . . . learning who the juniors and seniors were . . . learning the names and idiosyncrasies of the faculty . . . finding the rooms where we were supposed to be having classes (We were usually late trying to find the right stairway to go up) . . . holding our first class meeting. We took for our motto, Just finished, just begun. Having just finished high school, we now had begun our college career. We knew that we must have a leader, so we elected Ardie to be captain , with Jerry, Eleanor, and Wade for mates ; the rest, well—just the crew . That first year—gee, we DID have fun! Everything was so-o-o new. Yes, and exciting! Life was just one gay merry-go-round so far as we were con¬ cerned. Remember our get-acquainted party in the Little Theater? Wasn ' t it fun? And the dinner Miss Ruth gave at Thanksgiving? Yum—yum . . . her gravy sure had something! Then Christmas at S. T. C. There was something about it that was different from other Christmases . . . something indescribable but poignant. Thinking of it brings a lump to your throat even now. Maybe it was the newness . . . perhaps the wondrousness ... of it all. Came St. Valentine ' s Day (By this time some of us had real Valentines) and we learned that the Bagleans and Carneans were going to give a dance .... Remember how thrilled we were? And the gym that night of all nights ... a huge heart- shaped floor on which to dance and a swell-elegant orchestra. It was a thrill of a lifetime at S. T. C. Spring blossomed soon after that and with it blos¬ somed the freshies. Now over our fright and timidity, we decided that it was time for us to do a bit of tripping the light fantastic on our own . . . Our first formal at S. T. C. was the result . . . Summer came too soon that year. We dreaded leaving the pl ace where we had so much fun in such a short time . . . Well, we would be back . . . Thirty-one Fall rolled around and with it forty-eight of the new soph class rolled up the drive to S. T. C ' s inviting portals. We were back again . . . and this time we were able to rush to old friends that we were glad to see. Rick, Hough, Vivy, and A1 were our leaders this year. Now that we knew what it was “all about . . (All sophs feel that way!!!)—we were ready for anything . . . . freshie initiations . . . Lit. theses (Remember how we burnt the midnight oil over Homer?) . . . Chem. lab . . . Glee Club trips . . . Baglean-Carnean con¬ tests . . . Dramatic Club plays . . . dances . . . sports. Les was Best Woman Athlete that year, and others received letters and numerals. The closer June came, the harder it was for us to decide whether we should enter the professional field or go to another college for other training. About half of the class decided to give teaching a try. ★ ★ Juniors . . . What? Already? Yes, we were now in the professional department. Gosh, that sounded mighty dignified and WE certainly didn ' t answer that description. Maybe the dignity would come later as we “swung into things. Jerry as “prex tried, with the aid of Beachley, Walt, and Dolly, to “dignify us as much as possible. Practice-teaching . . . WHERE had we heard that word? Oh, yes, seniors of two years had used some such expression . . . worried and fretted about it ... . but we hadn ' t given it a thought. And now we had to. Completely bewildered we were at first. Correlation . . . integration . . . observation . . . natural situation . . . activity program . . . WHAT could it all mean??? Surely that wasn ' t what we had always called “school . We would find out. Ah, yes! Too soon. For there came a day . . . there came the DAY of all days when the command came from headquarters. We must enlist in the rank and file of educators. We must take up our chalk and flash cards and march boldly (No, no, we couldn ' t do it that way with our knees wobbling so queerly!) . . . boldly forward to the battlefield of instruction, the blackboard. Lesson plans . . . classroom discipline . . . seatwork . . . units . . . rote songs . . . Book Week programs . . . Oh, where was it leading us? . . . To . . what did you say?—You really mean it? ... To our senior year? . . . Think of it . . . seniors . . . seniors . . . ★ ★ ★ WITH THE “ENTREE FINISHED, we relaxed with a summer “salad” until the main course was to be served ... A dinner party of twenty-one guests. AH! HERE COMES September WITH THE “MAIN COURSE . What deli¬ cacies have we here? . . . “Teaching in schools . . . Oh, such generous por¬ tions . . . Eighteen weeks. Remember our digestions! Not too much! The vegetables— Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations ? How delicious! . . . Thirty-two During the dinner”, conversation ran something like this ... I haven ' t got my lesson plan done; what ' ll I do?? . . Mr. Caruthers is going to Chestnut today . . . Miss Matthews just left . . . Think she went to Pinehurst . . . Oh, dear, that means she ' s going to observe me again . . . Goodnightl I believe that was Dr. Blackwell in the car with Mr. Caruthers. ' Spose they ' re coming out to see us? . . Dear, that ' s the worst lesson I ' ve taught yet . . . Perk, what are you tak¬ ing the kitchen stove with you for? . . . Hey, pretend you ' re a first-grader; how would you answer this? . . . AT LAST, DESSERT” was served ... A week of observation and teaching ... A little heavy after such a main course”, but it does look inviting . . . We ' ll taste it anyway. AFTER DINNER IN THE DRAWING ROOM . . . What did you get? Got B . . much better than I expected . . . What were you high in? . . . Gee, I was low in that, but I got ninety in . . . Thank goodness, it ' s over. Hooray!! It ' s January 211! THE GUESTS” WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE NOW . . . Rachel rushing around on the spring production” . . . Perk needing ads . . . Hough getting out the Student Council Handbook . . . Dolly debating the guestion to be Resolved” .... Vivy going gray over the Constitutional theme and year¬ book writeups. . . . Jeanne going candid with her camera . . . Jerry teaching in Cambridge . . . Betsy assembling” programs . . . Ah, here comes the taxi; Commencement, straight home! Thirty-three FAREWELL.... In looking forward to the moment which is intended to terminate our undergraduate college life, our feelings do not permit us to suspend the deep acknowledgment of that debt of gratitude which we owe to our beloved Alma Mater,—for the honors it has conferred upon us; still more for the steadfast confidence with which it has supported us; and for the opportunities we have thence enjoyed . . . Since we were oriented into college life in the days of our first year here, we have felt our lives grow deeper, richer, fuller, through contact with the influences of our courses. Life has now a deeper meaning for us because we have tasted of the fountains of literature and science. We have been guided by wise counsel, yet we have been allowed to draw our own conclusions, to solve our own problems, from our experience here. Self-reliance, self-suffi¬ ciency, self-confidence, and self-development have been the outgrowth. Our perceptions and outlook on life have changed—have broadened—have re¬ sulted in the formulation of a philosophy for our life in the future. Only as we develop our inner selves and learn true appreciation for the finer things in life can we expect to enter our professional field and make those who come under our influence better citizens and people. All this we owe to our Alma Mater, to the life experiences it afforded us. May its tokens of beneficence continue—may its administration in every department be stamped with wisdom and virtue . . . may the happiness of the students of this college be made complete, by so careful a preservation and so prudent a use of this blessing as will acguire to them the glory of recommend¬ ing it to the applause, the affection—and adoption of every student who is yet a stranger to it.

NOW, THEREFORE, we Juniors, of the Class of ' 39, do set aside our next and last year in College in order that we may well round-out our professional education and leave S.T.C. with a finer, broader, more intelligent outlook toward all aspects of living in our modern world. Great has been the growth, many our happinesses, and enlightening our experiences during our first three years here. Our hope is that our final year will be as profitable and our endeavor will be to make it so. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands and caused our seal to be affixed. DONE at the City of Salisbury, this twenty-seventh day of March, in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, and of the existence of the State Teachers College at Salisbury the thirteenth. iJhe junior OfaSi Thirty-eight THE JIMIUR ELASS Betty Ann Taylor.

Some are bright and some are dull, And some are wondrous wise. Remember that ancient adage, Earl-y to bed and Earl-y to rise ? Wonder if that is the secret Of that sparkle in Loma ' s eyes. Doc Straughn, who gives the class advice, Has this one point to make: At every meeting of the class There should be tea and cake. Then there ' s that boy from Cambridge, Doenges, that guiet lad; But he rates in sports and scholarship And in love, well—he ' s not so bad. Anthony and Parsons Say teaching will be easy. They may be saved the trouble By Olin and Greasy . Dunnock ' s playing with a ball And counting up to ten. What! Helen, naughty girl— Playing lacks again? Eleanor ' s faith is in a star; A lawyer she would be. Greenwood hopes that some sweet day She ' ll be tall enough to see. If this were February It would be just the time To see Hottenstein write Will —ard be my Valentine. His hair grew long; he wore a red coat. Say, what has become of our drummer man? Bill lost one stick but consoled himself By conducting a rhythm band. Swaying rhythm in his feet He can swing, by heck! Just another Fred Astaire Is that lad called Spec . And then there ' s Brocato— We can ' t leave her behind. Is it I.T., or is it Dunk ? She can ' t make up her mind. Excellent! Could be cleaner! This room looks fine . Laws, give us girls a break— Show us YOUR room sometime. In every sport at S.T.C. Burton ' s feats are known to all. We cheer his gallant sportsmanship And his prowess with a ball. Betty struggles and strives To eat less every meal. If you ate no more than she does, How do you think you ' d feel? You ' d never guess that Culver Is a pessimist by right, Until you see her bowling struggles Every Tuesday night. Mitchell and Clow, we ' d like to know What is the end you seek? Ever to distant homes you go— Do you ever miss a week? Disharoon ' s the little girl Who likes to roll her eyes. Sutton ' s slow in getting around For a boy of his size. McCready and Jackson are juniors, too. Sorry, we don ' t know a thing on you; But we like your manner in class and hall. Good luck! little ladies—I ' m speaking for all Forty Helen to the ball game wanted to go But she hadn ' t the mone y to spend; So she got her eyes to work And Chizzled her way in. When Frankie begins to study She really tears it down And by consensus of opinion, Her hair is red, not brown. David ' s arts in calisthenics lie Baseball, soccer—anything you name; But his preference of them all Is just a marching game. Tch! Tch! Travers, You can ' t make any time Winking at first graders Too young to read that sign. Pin up your hem, add a bow And then a dash or curl— Is it Shirley Temple? No! the little Pruitt girl. Is it her car or is it Mae Who always gets the jumps ? Each time it starts, it jerks and jerks, Do her riders like the bumps? Ques can scream the weirdest screams And stand your hair up straight. Lorraine is noted for her wit— Must be a red-head ' s trait. Waller, arguing with your classmates Is plenty good enough, But arguing with your teacher Is plenty bad—no stuff! Smith, they say, no liking has For the dreary class room plan; A hall ' s the place for a tete-a-tete About things with a blond young man. Connie, the athlete, Always lands on top; When she gets to the center of the buck, She just naturally has to stop. Robertson ' s a knock-out With a hatchet in his hand; He ' s the junior clapper-downer, Competition for any man. Pretty Dorothy Wilkins Is the home-loving type; We ' re sure she ' ll ever lead A well-balanced life. Betty Taylor ' s really an Einstein; It certainly is a sin How she has to juggle her plans For an unexpected weekend. Capable, petite Edna Williams A versatile lass is she Will she be teacher or housewife The fates must need decree. This is the story of the juniors enrolled, Good sports each, forty-one all told. The fun we have is the envy of all Cheeriol Folks! Well be seniors next fall. Forty-one A PAGE FROM SOPHOMORE HISTORY C is for “ Come on”, it ' s time to return to S.T.C. for another year.

S is for Simonds, our attractive blonde adviser. Two years in that position—that ' s popularity! T is for twentieth of January when the sophomores gave their formal. Remember the snow? I is for introduction and industry. Introduction is what we gave the frosh, and wit h industry is how we administered it—also the way we do all our soph work. We hope! T is for the terror that filled Dr. Straughn ' s heart when Rosie hurled a fire in the waste can. U is for umph (apologies to Foo) which the sophs pack. Quote Carl Pusey! T is for terrible tyrannical tea from the trumpeting teapot for twittering served by tramping thophomores. (Excuse the lithpthl) I is for individualistic intellects of the sophomore class.

T. C. has Hung its doors open again. I was glad to see so many people come back to our old class. I guess today we sophs really understood what it means to not have that certain freedom that belongs to the verdant freshman”. Speaking of freshmen, they are a good looking crowd. Well, it won ' t be long before we will be having a class meeting Sept. 8, 1937 Dear Diary, The sophs had their first official get-to¬ gether today. The new class officers as¬ sumed their duties. Last year ' s secretary, John Bunting, has left S.T.C. to go to Dickin¬ son, but athlete Jackie Lemmon is now official recorder for the class. Charles Elliott has been elected to fill Harry McCann ' s place as president. Dorothy Delahay and Kathylee Pusey are vice-president and treasurer, re¬ spectively. Student Council members are Elizabeth Hastings and Boots” Golds- borough. We thought of Doc Straughn as class adviser to help raise our chem” grades but the juniors grabbed him. However, we took good old Dr. Simonds—we knew she was good from last year ' s record. Sept. 24, 1937 Dear Diary, Did you ever see such freshies? After that duck-walk” around the campus no wonder they hate ducks and wish they could get at” a few sophs. Some of the funniest things the boys originated. You should have heard Einstein” Wilkins of the freshman class ex¬ plain how far it is from the court house to half past two. He was so technical he really slayed those boys and we don ' t know who got the best of that bargain. We girls have to have a session down in the gym to plan our final hazing for the girls. Some of the plans are rare. I predict some rain in the future. Oct. 1, 1937 Dear Diary, That was a swell dance! I guess we needed to make amends to the freshies after the rat rules. Well, they have one hope—they will be sophomores next year. Oct. 21, 1937 Dear Diary, Hockey is all the rage now with the girls, and the boys are playing soccer. We sophs played the senior girls, but we had bad luck —defeated even though we fought hard and Mary Richardson did sprain a thumb. I saw a good soccer game that I forgot to mention some time ago. Bill Ford was the star from our class and the score was one to nothing. Lucky Western Maryland! Nov. 17, 1937 Dear Diary, There just isn ' t anything to write about, but lessons and more lessons. There sure are plenty of them! I still have oodles of chem experiments to report. Then there is one of those terrible lit. tests for tomorrow. I bet it will be a honey! All the sophs have been going about for days reciting quotations from the Iliad” and the Odyssey.” That ' s not all of a sophomore ' s work, but you get the point. Jan. 18, 1938 Dear Diary, Twenty some wheels brought a big crowd rolling into our tea today. Oh, yes—the wheel invitation was Dr. Simonds ' clever idea. A rainy day, the prospect of steaming tea and cookies boosted the attendance. Jan. 20, 1938 Dear Diary, Tonight is the great formal. My hand is still sore from cutting paper, but it sure will snow so I guess it is worth all that I suf¬ fered. The gym looked perfect and when the Forty-four decorations were done this afternoon was that snow man cute ! Too bad that this is a formal dance so that he could not cut in. Later: the music was swingy” and we had a number of big apples . . . well, a few. Mar. 22, 1938 Dear Diary, Carl Pusey and his My friends , Charles Elliott and his British accent, Rachel Mc¬ Mahon and her streamlined government, James White and his Heel Hitler”, Bill Champlin and his portrayal of Eleanor, and Ralph Ross and his lazy Joe Corntassel look— all were riots in the sophomore assembly pro¬ gram; but the most seasoned trooper was Sandy Caruthers. We sophs went to town on that satirical news stunt—I think everyone enjoyed it. Mar. 30, 1938 Dear Diary, 1, 2, 3, 4,—1, 2, 3, 4,—forward march! Practice for the gym exhibition! I ' m really tired. The gym was filled with girls this p. m. and we really went through a grind. Then the sophs had to go back to practice their Blue Danube Waltz tonight. It used to be said, Waltz me around again, Willy”, but now Miss Jamart says again and again, From there, Miss Truitt. April 1, 1938 Dear Diary, Well, I guess we were fully represented tonight when the Campus Leaders were an¬ nounced at All College Night. Kathylee Pusey, was chosen for May Queen, Harry McCann for her escort, and Carroll Speck was named the Most Literary. Seems that we have both the beautiful and brilliant. Later there was the gym exhibition during which the boys participated in individual sports. The girls would have pleased Johann Strauss with the dance of the Blue Danube. April 7, 1938 Dear Diary, I wish you could have seen doc pusey” in DR. STRAUGHN ' S lab coat. Did he strut to¬ day when Dr. Straughn was in New York for the weekend at the conference ... IF one so small CAN strut in one very large lab coat. April 11, 1938 Dear Diary, That mystery play was a thrill. Ralph Ross did a royal job of directing Sky Fodder”. He is as good a director as he was Tony Lump¬ kin in She Stoops to Conguer.” That is say¬ ing something! April 12, 1938 Dear Diary, Gee whiz, I just looked on the calendar and guess what? We get off tomorrow at noon for the holidays and don ' t come back until Tuesday. Think of it! Almost a week in which to catch up on all our back assign¬ ments and to finish our theses. Bet we don ' t get much done though, in spite of all our good intentions. You know how holidays are. And you know what a new spring bonnet can do for Yours Truly. Hooray! It ' s time for the Easter parade! May 1, 1938 Dear Diary, Two weeks since Easter and it seems years. Now we ' ve only a few weeks to finish up and take exams. Gee, I wish it were June 6. By the way, we must have a spark of genius in the class. Hear this— Rain, Rain, the wet, wet rain. Does it rain here As it does in Spain? Here it rains, the wet, wet rain, But bullets reign As rain in Spain. Is this a future American poet? Well, he ' s got something there !

BRUCE THOMPSON .President .Vice-President .Secretary .Treasurer .Student Council Representative Student Council Representative .Adviser Forty-seven We, the freshmen of S.T.C., did organize our class in September of the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, and do ordain and estab¬ lish this the record of the activities of our class. One fine day in September we, the freshmen, did assemble in order to complete the organization of our class. Miss Lillian Hough conducted the meeting for nomination of class officers. The question before the house” was: Who shall be our president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary, and Student Council members? For the next few minutes voting took place fast and furiously. After the array of hands had subsided it was found that all executives and legislative powers of the class were vested in the following members: Hamilton Fox, Jr.President Edward Dougherty.Vice-President Phoebe Nock.Secretary Mr. E. Bruce Thompson Richard Blackwell . Ruth K. Harcuml Charles Lavery . .Adviser .Treasurer Representatives We had hardly gotten our most excellent class organized before the sophs” had also organized to conspire against us. One morning a notice directed at the freshies” appeared on the bulletin board. It clearly defined the exact manner in which we were to conduct ourselves for the next few weeks. During this never-to-be-forgotten period we quacked like ducks, bowed down before our high and mighty superiors, and made speeches on How High Is Up. Obedience was our motto, but a few of us just could not be too restrained. We were the ones who broke that No dates” rule. All things come to an end, and so this period, humiliating as it was, did too. Following the dance given for us the going was much smoother. Now was the time for us to show those sophs” a thing or two. We exhibited our hidden talents in the field of athletics first. Toward the soccer team the frosh contributed a number of good men. Ed Dougherty, bet¬ ter known as the Highland Goat”, Goldy Tyler, Charles Lavery, Dick Black- well, Audrey Christopher, Roy Widgeon, Carroll Jones, and Dave Somervell all did and died” for dear old S.T.C. Bill Kent and Ed Bowen came closer to dying than any of the others. They suffered a broken leg and a dislocated shoulder, respectively. Neither must we forget Swann who played goalie. Forty-eight When basket-ball season rolled around it was noticeable that many of the squad came from our class, i.e., Goldy Tyler, Freddie Messick, Johnny Eichnor, Bill Wroten, Ed Bowen, Charles Lavery, and Ed Dougherty. We must not leave out the better half of our class. As a grand finale to the tennis tournaments which began in September in which our girls par¬ ticipated, Roberta Morris, a diminutive feminine edition of Bill Tilden, defeated a senior, Lillian Hough. Our abilities manifested themselves in more than one line. The first play presented by the Sophanes Players featured an all-freshman cast. We refer to the play Good Medicine , in which Phoebe Nock, Ruth K. Harcum, and Ham Fox acted. The Christmas production, Gloria”, used a number of our members. Apt at discussing problems of great concern, Dick Blackwell and Ham Fox supported the Baglean-Carnean Debating Society in an inter-collegiate debate. Ruth K. Harcum participated in an intra-mural debate. On the seventeenth of December, We the Frosh” donned evening gowns and tux” and really trucked on down” to the freshman formal. Here we broke the precedent twice. First we put a little bill through the Student Coun¬ cil which permitted us to give our bids to upper classmen if we did not use them ourselves. Second, we allowed the Big Apple” craze which was sweep¬ ing the c ountry to sweep into our dance. Even the faculty swung” to the music of Lou Startt. Speaking of music reminds us that we did our bit in this gentle art also. To the orchestra we contributed such artists as Ruth K. and her cello; Paul Phillips, the Mardellian trombonist; Dick Blackwell and his clarinet; Johnny Hoffecker and his corny” trumpet; Bill Kent to slap that bass”; Wild Bill Cummings to really swing out” on the mellophone; and Carroll (Paderewski) Jones. Forty-nine With high spirits the frosh invaded the world of vocal music, the Glee Club and Men ' s Chorus. Sarah Bradley and Helen Johnson were surprised to learn that they were mezzo-sopranos, while Ruth K. Harcum, Kathleen Tilgh- man, Sylvia Gordon, and Marjorie Wright were designated as altos. In the male section Dick Blackwell and Robert Morse found a place for themselves in the bass family, and Olin Bedsworth and Alfred Norton took their position of tenors. All this sounds as if we were the epitome of class-models . But we were not models exactly. What about those nights when we attended to a few little odd jobs around the campus, and the night the fair coeds of this insti¬ tution were aroused from their slumbers (?) in the wee small hours by great noise and commotion which certain members of Ye Good Olde Freshman Class caused? We went sociable at the middle of the year and invited the entire stu¬ dent body to drink tea with us in the social room. At this, the Gentleman ' s Tea , we literally packed the house. Without further tooting of our horn we will and tribulations and, may we say, jubilations of close this record of the trials the freshman class of S.T.C.

We hold that bene¬ fits to be derived from participation in dra¬ matic activities is one of the strongest cultural elements that can be carried on into later life. This year has been crowded with activities. The Players have given two plays for assem¬ bly programs: In November, Good Medicine, a one-act comedy, and in March, Highness, a tragedy. On December 20, the Glee Club and William Blades Hamilton Fox the Players presented Gloria, a choral drama of the Nativity. It had one of the best recep¬ tions of any of the presentations. After Christmas one evening a month, one- act plays were given under the direction of members of the Club. Ralph Ross directed Sky Fodder and Hamilton Fox, The Monkey’s Pare. For the Student Conference The Message From Khufu was enacted. As a grand finale the big spring production and two radio broadcasts were given.

Today the Baglean-Carnean Society is exercising this human right at S.T.C. The merger of the two literary societies has pro¬ duced a debating club that bases its activities on freedom of speech. Members have partici¬ pated in a number of debates with different colleges. The Baglean-Carnean vs. Washington Col¬ lege debate, the first for the society, was held at S.T.C. on January 12. The issue debated was: Resolved that the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce the arbitration of all industrial disputes. Betty Taylor .Business Manager Mrs. IdaBelle Wilson Thomas.Adviser Mr. E. Bruce Thompson.Assistant Adviser On February 8, the team visited Washing¬ ton College, debating the same issue. Several small debates were held in the bi¬ weekly meetings in the form of panel discus¬ sions and open forums. A secondary team held a debate in assembly on the issue: Resolved that the people of the U. S. should impose a consumers ' boycott on Japan. The same issue was broadcast over the local station, WSAL, on March 1. The society conducted a symposium at the Student Conference in April, on factors affect¬ ing the choice of a life work. The Baglean-Carnean Debate Team feels that it has held its own with other college teams, and that its initial year has been highly successful.

(With deepest apologies to the writers of the Constitution for the use of certain words and phrases which we do deem apropos for this, our constitution). Sixty-two HOME ASSOCIATION OFFICERS LUCILLE TESTERMAN.President ALINE TRAVERS .Vice-President ANNA BRINSFIELD .Secretary PEGGY STAUFFER .Treasurer MISS RUTH F. C. POWELL.Adviser We, the members of the Home Association, in order to form a more per¬ fect union of dorm and day students and to establish domestic tranquility in the dorms, have performed and completed the following acts during the 1937-38 sessions: 1. With the Day Students, we gave a Hallowe ' en party for the entire student body which proved most successful in forming a more perfect union. 2. The members of the Home Association sold ice cream and sandwiches during the year, using the profits to make the Home Corners more comfortable and cozy. 3. The girls on the third floor of the dorm served banquets to earn money to buy a new radio for the Home Corner on that floor, insuring domestic tranquility there. 4. In order to make dinners in the dining room more enjoyable, we pur¬ chased a piano for that room. 5. An amendment was added to the constitution giving members four special privileges each semester in addition to those already granted.

Remember in the fall when Mrs. Paul Ledig displayed and discussed her fascinating curios from South America . . . that day in February when those jolliest of juniors became kids again with a rollicking celebration of Washington ' s birth¬ day . . . the attempt the seniors made at being dignified in a program on education . . . the aesthetic loveliness of the program given by the Chorus . . . the spiritual beauty of the inspiring message brought us by the Reverend Mr. Fox in an Easter program presented by the Christian Association . . . Remember? Sixty-four ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION We propose an amendment to the Constitution!! At the present time there is no part of that great document that includes us! In this, the year of the Ses- quicentennial of the Constitution of the U. S., we have made some changes in our constitution. We have adopted the Quaker Meeting” arrangement—men and women separate. Each group is led by a chairman elected by the group. Each group has a secretary. As a result, we find that our executive board is almost as complex as that provided for in the U. S. Constitution, consisting of: PRESIDENT Evelyn Jordan MEN ' S CHAIRMAN WOMEN ' S CHAIRMAN David Perry Dorothy Delahay SECRETARY Dorothy Brookhart TREASURER John Edward Austin MEN ' S SECRETARY Edward Robinson WOMEN ' S SECRETARY Louise Lemmon MEN ' S ADVISER WOMEN ' S ADVISER Mr. Benn Maggs Miss Helen Jamart We are proud to have the leading athletes of the school as our mem¬ bers. And we mustn ' t forget Holloway, Valliant, and Fox, our cheer leaders. What would the team be without them? Supporting these, we have loyal students who make the noise and lend the proper spirit to our games.
