UheSe are onLy a few. ddachi day is crowded; each weeh and month overfLowiny College Life Yesterday, many individuals felt that a college consisted of nothing more than a building and a group of students being taught by a group of instruc¬ tors. Today, any college worthy of the name includes, at least, a building adapted to the needs of the community served, a student body large enough for efficient administration, a teaching staff specifically trained for the duties to be performed, a curriculum broad in its scope, and college spirit and atmos¬ phere conducive to real living. That the State Teachers College at Salisbury is worthy of the name is evidenced by the fact that the physical plant is well adapted to the needs of Maryland, the student body, numbering two hundred fifty, is large enough for efficient management, the members of the faculty are not only well trained but experienced in the phases of college work for which they are individually responsible, and the college life is wholesome. The college has as one of the principal objectives the providing of con¬ ditions such as will enable all students enrolled to live full and enriched lives. According to Dr. John Dewey, We learn to do by doing. At the Salisbury State Teachers College st udents learn to live through living. Such living includes participation in classroom as well as participation in extra-curricular activities. Such expenditures as are necessary for efficient class, laboratory, and library work have been provided. The so-called extra-curricular activities include provision for students interested in art, athletics, debating, dramatics, journalism, and music. Student organizations furnish a variety of opportu¬ nities for individual participation on the part of both boarding and day stu¬ dents. The Student Council and allied organizations meet the specific extra¬ curricular needs of most students. We feel, therefore, that the State Teachers College at Salisbury is offering to the youth of Maryland genuine opportunities for living. J. D. BLACKWELL President • [ 8 ] • The Lahuratury-Schual Activities in the campus laboratory-school are of two types. One is con¬ ducted on the unit-of-subject-matter-basis, the other on the unit-of-experience- basis. In the first type, systematic study of subject matter is implicit and is, to that extent, traditional as the activities grow out of the logical development of subject matter. The major emphasis is on subject matter as such, and the expected outcome is its mastery. In the second type, systematic applica¬ tion of subject matter is implicit, and hence, the psychological, rather than the logical arrangement of subject matter, is followed. The major emphasis is upon the ability to do something with the subject matter; the expected outcome is its functional unity. Thus the activity program organizes itself around two major objectives, viz., the mastery of subject matter and the func¬ tional units of subject matter. Activities originate from three main sources: those growing out of the actual needs of the school as it performs its function as a laboratory-school, those growing out of the systematic study of subject matter, and those grow¬ ing out of the professionalized courses given by the subject matter specialists. Some examples of activities which have been carried on in the labora¬ tory-school are: The publication of a school paper, distribution of milk to the several rooms, and the broadcasting over WSAL of a play composed by the pupils themselves. One of the chief purposes of conducting activities in the laboratory-school is to give the prospective teacher some preliminary training in teaching an integrated curriculum, as well as to encourage her to integrate her own courses, both academic and professional.

Education [ 19 ] ANNA JONES COOPER President of Alumni Association During the past year the Alumni Association of S. T. C. has been actively engaged in enlarging its membership, for the successful future of our college depends, in part, upon the united efforts of all former students. The fact that recent reunions have had a l arger attendance is evidence that the efforts of our loyal alumni—one-year, three-year, and four-year graduates—have not been unrewarded. The Alumni Association extends to the members of the Class of 1939 con¬ gratulations upon the completion of their college education and an invitation to join our organization. May none of the responsibilities, joys, and sorrows of life ever dim the memory of the happy days spent at S. T. C. • [ 20 ] • 1939 I DAVID PERRY President WILLIAM BLADES Vice-President BETTY CULVER Secretary LAURA PARSONS Treasurer CLARENCE DAVID PERRY Truly the all-around man and certainly one of the best-liked at S. T. C., David has been twice captain of the baseball team, twice captain of the soccer squad, twice athletic editor of the Publications Staff, treasurer of the Athletic Association, manager of the basketball team, and twice president of the class. As a sophomore, he received the campus award for the Queen ' s Escort and as a junior and senior the award for the Best All-Around Man. We know him best as Dave . WILLIAM O. BLADES The dynamic red head of the senior class who consistently showed a yen toward dra¬ matics is Bill. His parts in lie, Sky Fodder, Gloria, and Plumes in the Dust will not be forgotten nor will his work as president of the Sophanes Players. Also, he held a senior class office and was an efficient gymnastic student. Billy has created a lasting impression with his quick step, quicker wit, fine sensitiveness, rich low voice, and tousled red curls. ELIZABETH ANN CULVER Always gracious and willing to do her part—-she is a friend of everyone. She was one¬ time assistant secretary of the Baglean Society, secretary of the Day Students ' Association, and treasurer of our junior class. As a senior, she is president of the Day Students ' Association, and as assistant business manager of the Publications Staff, she helped make possible THE EVERGREEN. A seeming pessimist, but possessing unfailing wit, her hobby is grilled hams and more of them. LAURA ANN PARSONS A small, quiet brunette is Laura who fiddles away her time in the College Orchestra. Once treasurer of the Carnean Society and present treasurer of the senior class, she has proved her ability in monetary matters. Almost always seen with Betty Culver, she debates daily the question, Resolved: That we shall go down town lor lunch, generally taking the affirmative. Best of all, she likes cutting up books for pictures and aiding the assistant business manager of the Staff in getting ads. BEULAH NOCK ALLEN We see her in the halls and in the class room with her brief case in her hand and a cheer¬ ful smile on her face. Mrs. Allen has a wealth of knowledge, for she has spent eleven years in India, and taught both there and in the U. S. Even though she has had more experiences than most of us, she is truly an S. T. C.-an and has helped and cheered us on innumerable occa¬ sions. We ' re glad she ' s one of us. KATHERINE BEATRIX ANTHONY The star woman athlete of the class, that ' s our little blond Katherine. She not only excels in gymnastics, but she manages efficiently, for she was twice manager of the girls ' var¬ sity basketball team and hockey team. As president of the Home Association she was always on the job. We ' ll never forget the blondest of our blondes, Anthony, whose hobby is athletics. ELEANOR BAILEY The life of any day room—it ' s the Bailey girl again. And you ought to hear her giving that sales talk to the sternest business men of Salisbury. Eleanor has that business-like manner and executive ability which makes for a successful career. She was a member of the debating team during her junior year and during her senior year successfully directed one of our dra¬ matic endeavors—a mathematics pageant. J. EDWARD ROBERTSON Tall, angular, blonde, sturdy—a man ' s man . Add a fine dash of slow, easy humor and you have Ed in a nutshell. As a senior, he is the president of the Men ' s Association. Throughout his college life he has shown a constant interest in gym work of all types. One of those likable chaps that will make a level-headed, sturdy citizen. MRS. ALLEN KATHERINE ANTHONY ELEANOR BAILEY EDWARD ROBERTSON • I 23 ] • IRMA LEE DISHAROON LEE BURTON EARLE CORKRAN WILLAMAE- BROCATO WILLAMAE BROCATO Willamcte ' s a jolly co-ed” with expressive brown eyes. She was a four-year member of the college chorus for which she did a polished job of directing in her senior year. She is lively and likable. She was popular, too—remember?—with both men and women of S. T. C. ROBERT LEE BURTON, JR. Lee is versatility personified. In his freshman and sophomore years he won the achieve¬ ment key and in his freshman, junior, and senior years he was awarded merit for S. T. C. ' s best athlete. Last year he was captain of the basketball team and this year he is president of the Men ' s Athletic Association and a member of the Student Council. He shines” in every sport and in the college night life,” too. His motto is Let ' s have a party”. EARLE HOUSTON CORKRAN, JR. Altogether comely, with an attractiveness for women. Never did you see Earle without a friend” while he was at S. T. C. Picked co-eds”, too. He has done outstanding work in contrasting fields of interest, being a valuable member of the baseball, basketball, and soccer teams, and an active member of the Men ' s Chorus through his four years in college. He is president of the Men ' s Chorus this senior year and likewise second tenor in the quartet chosen from that group. IRMA LEE DISHAROON A real musician in our midst! Irma Lee has been a member of both the Orchestra and Glee Club for four years and this year is president of the latter. Whenever there ' s a song we want the tune of, we know who can sing it for us. You ' d never guess, to observe her quiet mien, that she ' s active in basketball and fieldball, too. For a theme song Irma Lee might use Simple and Sweet”. • [ 24 ] • GEORGE ROBERT DOENGES Hello, folks! is the favorite greeting of Robert, whose studious diligence and guiet humor have made everyone like him. For four years he has received the achievement award and has been a member of the Men ' s Chorus and the Athletic Association. He has been active in his three years on the Student Council and this year is president. He has acted as a gracious encyclopedia for all of the class and spends odd moments in woodcraft. LOMA CATHERINE DRYDEN Probably Loma knows the ins and outs better than most of us for she lived at S. T. C. for two years and commuted for the remainder of her years in college. She has been a favorite among the senior day students, especially, for she is always amiable, jovial, and happy-go- lucky. And she ' s a sure-enough songstress, having been a member of the Glee Club for four years. P. S. Make it a grilled chicken salad. WILLIAM WILSON DUNCAN Hail, one of our enthusiastic Chinese Checkers fiends, Dune. He is also a participant in the heavier sports, soccer, basketball, and baseball, besides being treasurer of the Sophanes Players during 1935-36 and Master of the Student Grange for the last two years. Besides checkers, Dune finds reading history and singing (the classical as well as the shower-room type) pleasurable pastimes. HELEN FRANCES DUNNOCK Helen was a shy little freshman in ' 35, but her sweet smile and good-natured giggle soon won for her many friends. For four years she has been a member of the Baglean-Carnean Society, Home Association, and the Grange. She says she hasn ' t any specific hobby, but we will always remember her as the smiling little girl who gave up playing jacks for a guy”. ROBERT DOENGES LOMA DRYDEN WILSON DUNCAN HELEN FRANCES DUNNOCK I 25 ] • PHYLLIS GREENWOOD KATHERYN GROSS KATHERINE HOTTENSTEIN LILLIAN HUTCHISON PHYLLIS GREENWOOD This tiny mite ' ' of the class might give one the impression that she ' s a clinging vine, but that impression would be wrong, for this ninety-five pounds of diminutive efficiency has a knack of doing six things at once and doing each one well. She has an infinite amount of understand¬ ing, patience, and loyalty. Her hobby is knitting sweaters until the sleeves are reached, and then in letting Dad do the tricky work”. KATHERYN EMMA GROSS Glee Club and College Orchestra—Katheryn belongs to both and shows her talent. She is gay but sincere in all her understandings. Her sunny smile goes a long way in winning friends. Her hobby is collecting souvenirs for her scrapbook, and she is also a lover of dogs. Katheryn is a member of the Baglean-Carnean Society, the Athletic Association, the Christian Association, the Home Association, and the Grange. KATHERINE RHODES HOTTENSTEIN Hottietot” has earned her niche as a favorite in the dorm” and in class by being always herself—smiling, agreeable, and more than willing to go out of her way to do a favor for others. Once secretary of the Christian Association and twice treasurer of the Student Grange, she earned respect as a business manager. Her true love is chocolate peanuts; her hobby, collect¬ ing poems. LILLIAN VIRGINIA HUTCHISON Loyalty to her friends and classmates best typifies Lillian, the tall, stately blonde of our class. In basketball, fieldball, and hockey, she is a real terror” and she has won a place on the varsity teams. “Lil ' s” experience as president of the Christian Association in her sophomore year, as Ceres” of the Student Grange, and as winner of the achievement key have helped to make her an all-around good student. • I 26 ] • HAROLD RICHARD JENKINS One grand fellow is Spec”. Four years he has been an active member of the Athletic Association, Men ' s Chorus, Dramatic Club, and Christian Association. Always ready with a laughing smile and a witty rejoinder, he is a welcome member in any group. His particular delight is working out in the gym; his hobby, doodlin ' and ditties . MARGARET CORNELIA LAWS Miss Laws returned to State Teachers College in 1937 to complete work for her degree, having been graduated in 1930 from this college when it was a State Normal School. She accepted the position as assistant social director to Miss Powell. We will remember her as giving blue ribbons for clean rooms and for stopping the victrola right on the dot of seven o ' clock. We ' ve never minded toeing the mark for her, because we like her so well. SARAH ELIZABETH LYNCH All go to Betty for advice and help and she is always willing to assist anyone. She reads all the new books—and old, too—and has a way of always speaking well of everyone. She was vice-president of the Carnean Society in her sophomore year, vice-president of the Baglean- Carnean Society in her junior year, and this year is president of the Christian Association. She ' s interested in athletics, crossword puzzles, and collecting books. This year she received the campus award for the Most Literary at S. T. C. LOUISE LANIER MITCHELL Louise will be remembered for her efficiency and promptness in doing all her tasks. Her sincerity and frankness command the respect of all. As secretary of the Glee Club and lecturer of the Student Grange she has shown her executive ability. Her chief delight is giving adapt¬ able chalk talks to her approving classmates. HAROLD JENKINS MARGARET LAWS BETTY LYNCH LOUISE MITCHELL • [ 27 ] • HELEN PASTORFIELD DOROTHY QUESINBERRY ANNA ROSE SMITH BETTY ANN TAYLOR HELEN LOUISE PASTORFIELD Her mischievous brown eyes and jolly good disposition put Helen in the ranking list of favorites among the students. She has served as treasurer of the Home Association, and presi¬ dent of the Athletic Association, and for four years has been a member of other organizations here. Memories of others may fade with the years but not those of Helen, for she has the rare gift of lasting friendship. DOROTHY LEE QUESINBERRY Whenever one sees Dot Quesinberry, her head is lowered in reading a book. She can be very quiet, and then she can be quite noisy, especially when she is in the mood to play one of her many pranks. Dot has plenty of life and she can sing, for she was a member of the Glee Club in ' 35 and ' 36. She is literary if she can write along the comical side of life, and we all know that her hobby is reading. ANNA ROSE SMITH Rarely does one enter the Day Students ' room without seeing Anna Rose in the midst of a group of girls who are discussing everything in general. Tall and stately in appearance and inclined to procrastinate, she always emerges victorious from her deluge of lessons. A good penman, her writing is still very legible even though she has been on the Publications Staff for two years. Her hobbies are collecting dance records and china dogs. ELIZABETH ANN TAYLOR To Betty goes top honors of the cla ss. As an all-around good student and executive, she has served as secretary of the sophomore class, president of the class as a junior, business manager of the Baglean-Carnean Society, and editor-in-chief of THE HOLLY LEAF and EVER¬ GREEN during her senior year. Three of her pet diversions are walking, emoting, and drinking cokes; her chief hobby, journalism. The whole student body has shown its respect for Betty by handing her the laurel of Miss S. T. C., the highest honor attained by women in this college. • [ 28 ] • SARA FRANCES TAYLOR The equestrienne, rain or shine—that ' s Frankie . She has a way of getting her assign¬ ments done and off her mind before the rest of the seniors have settled themselves to ponder. And even if badminton and basketball offer some complications, there ' s nothing like trying, is there? Quick-witted and matter of fact is Frankie and very little troubles her—well, maybe 4 times 0 does, a little. She is known to be always ready for a good time and a little chat on the third floor of the dorm. ALINE TRAVERS The sunny disposition on the third floor belongs to Aline, because she is always ready with a smile and words of encouragement to the distressed. She has been vice-president of the Home Association and a four-year member of the College Chorus. Her natural love of peanuts and 500 make her often a fourth at the card table. Locke and Montaigne, were they living today, would agree with Aline that travel is one of the social necessities of life. ATHLYN B. WALLER My apple ' s tendencies are directed toward gymnastic activities. Known among the men as the star on the apparatus, he has been three years on the gym team and has excelled in soccer, wrestling, boxing, and track. Athlyn is full of the old fight” and puts everything he has into the game, a trait which has won him the respect and admiration of all. His hobbies are gym work and, in his own words, night work around the campus. ELIZABETH CAROLYN WARNER Connie is the dramatic and poetic member of our class. She served as president of the Baglean-Carnean Society in ' 38- ' 39 and won fame in her skits with the Sophanes Players. Musical? Yes. Four years she has been a member of the Glee Club and for three years a cellist in the College Orchestra. She likes to play duets on the piano, too. Her hobby is giving dramatic sketches over the radio, and she does. SARA FRANCES TAYLOR ALINE TRAVERS ATHLYN WALLER CAROLYN WARNER • I 29 ] • DOROTHY WILKINS EDNA EARL WILLIAMS DOROTHY ALICE WILKINS As a sophomore, Dorothy was secretary of the Day Students ' Organization; as a senior, a member of the Assembly Committee. She says exactly what she thinks and she does plenty of thinking under those lengthy dark tresses. On certain days she ' ll slip a piece of the best cake you ever ate to some hungry-looking classmate. Her interests tend toward literary and domestic achievements. EDNA EARL WILLIAMS Edna—the girl with the Southern Maryland accent. She has been four years in the Glee Club, three years a member of the Student Council, and copy reader and business manager of the Staff. She ' s systematic and methodical and will make a good teacher, we predict. If you ' re ever puzzled with a problem, she ' ll willingly show you how . She spends her spare moments in collecting poems and reading. [ 30 ] Ylianmaliilia Four short years. Remember that first day in September, 1935, when we one hundred and eight freshmen were so confused and lost that we blindly signed our names on dotted lines? The questions and hubbub were frightening. Where is room 269? How do I fill out this card? What is zoo-ology? Soon, however, we were participating in the college activities and were asked to put on a history assembly. Remember Dot Quesinberry as Prince Albert? What a good husband Willamae Brocato made to Marie Antoinette. Laura Parsons turned out to be a stern, resolute, little Napoleon. Probably the climax of our freshman class assemblies came when we were so tired of showing off our amateur abilities that we turned professional. Kate Smith (Aline Travers) brought the moon over the mountain and Madame Schumann-Heink (Connie Warner) filled the air with Brahms ' Lullaby. Of course Jack Benny (Bill Blades) was master of ceremonies. During our sophomore year our outstanding achievements were in athletics. The girls succeeded in being good substitutes, at least, for the basketball team and one, Irma Lee Disharoon, made the varsity team. Our boys, especially Lee Burton, David Perry, and Earle Corkran, have never let us down, whether it be soccer, baseball, or basketball. With the approach of our junior year our shoulders and backbones began to straighten for we had that ever-important practice teaching ahead of us. Every class assignment pertained to the endless task of making lesson plans. Mrs. Thomas assigned a Large Unit Lesson Plan , but a better name would have been The Largest Amount of Work Possible . Now we are seniors. We do not feel much different, though. Oh, there are a few who have found the sophisticated bug, but not many. And the most outstanding accomplishment of this year is—TEACHING! • [ 31 ] • How important was that first day of our senior year! The day when one-half of our number ambled to music class and were presented by Miss Black with a long stick. Now, class, ' ' announced she, this is a baton. Bring it to class every day, and use it between times, too. ' ' On that same day that they went to music class, the senior I ' s, half scared to death, went to their unforeseen destination. If you had been on the steps that morning, you probably would have heard peculiar sounds from the mouths of those nervous individuals who stood with little bags of lunch in their shaking hands. Where do I go? ' ' I wonder what our training teacher wiil be like? ' ' Do you have to walk, or do you ride?” A few moments later, those of us who were in this group began walking to our schools or scrambling for a seat in the station wagon, while still others took seats in Miss Ruth ' s” car en route to—who knew what? Picture Dorothy Wilkins ' surprise when one of her pupils told her that the three systems of the body were the circulatory, digestive, and solar. Or imagine the confusion that caused Phyllis Greenwood to tell her little first-graders to put your desks on your heads”. And think how surprised Willamae Brocato was to learn that three-fourths of her class knew her as Miss Potato”. Teaching was fun (?) but we were always glad when one o ' clock rolled around so we could return to our Alma Mater, where we were mobbed by the other seniors who wanted to know tricks of the trade”. Do you remember how we marked the calendar to denote the passing of each day or encircled the date with red to show that we had had visitors (Miss Matthews or Mr. Caruthers)? Remember what days they chose to pay calls”? How could we forget? If yellow or green cards, our teaching diaries” are mentioned, what do we think about? Four short years, filled with joy, learning, and accomplishing were they all. September, 1935, to June, 1939—a period we ' ll never forget! • [ 32 ] • | pm | ' [ 33 ] The Class Record In World Literatore Mrs. Allen— The mildest manners in the gentlest heart. Pope.

[ 34 ] • 1940 Ok eri ation CAMPING OUT OVERVIEW Beginning September 7, afternoons formerly spent playing tennis and bathing at the beach were now spent on camp stools. Five entire school days we spent on camp stools observ¬ ing the clever tactics, and sometimes antics, of children in the elementary school—quite different from the hours spent in the college laboratories and class rooms. This was our first draught of observation of the educational system. NUMBER SCALES MATHEMATICS Repeated practice so ingrains patterns into the human mind that a new way of doing the same thing brought confusion to us. Bewilderment was what we felt when we had to count and figure on the basis of eight and nine. CLEARING HOUSE OPERATIONS DIRECTED OBSERVATION These were mass conferences of prospective teachers who had worked all week in the elementary school, training minds and bodies of children. Problems and techniques were studied and surveyed. Discouraged and bruised spirits of somewhat baffled student teachers were remedied and brought back to their normal enthusiasm. LEARNING TO READ ENGLISH Miss Reeves and her lovable first grade found a spot in our hearts which grew warmer as our hourly visits from English class became more frequent. Prospective teachers learned the struggles and achievements of a first grader mastering the written word. “DEAR DIARY” PRACTICE TEACHING A daily account kept, first on orange cards and then on white, of the happenings of these truth-seeking, would-be teachers in the campus elementary school. EN CONCERT.. .“WISKEY-WASKEY WHEEDLE” ENGLISH Choric speech was dissected and viewed with a minute precision by the studying section of the junior class during the second semester. First-graders, under the guidance of student teachers, recited poetry together while executing well-coordinated rhythms with their hands. SAND DUNES, BUT ... INDUSTRIAL ARTS A circus, a Japanese valley, a Dutch farm, an Indian village, and a farm yard were piled in the sand. Artistic project planning was studied that we might bring aesthetic enjoyment to future pupils. ACROSS THE CORNFIELD GEOGRAPHY Mrs. Allen was hostess to the class while we fingered Indian daggers, Chinese gongs, and dressed in Asiatic costumes—a geographical field trip. “A-TISKET—A-TASKET” PHYSICAL EDUCATION minus the swing arrangement, was one of the many games learned, played, and enjoyed by the class, to be reproduced for teaching purposes later. “LOO-SING” MUSIC Pitch pipes, Music Hours , and staff books composed the major activities of this junior class. But we mustn ' t forget the songs that we taught the long-suffering other members of the class—nor the rhythm band concert. Didn ' t we perform before the state supervisor?

Here comes that white gym suit—the girl who has such power in her shots. Look out, goalie! The score ' s tied. Oh, dear . . . ST. PATRICK’S DAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PARTY The old basement dining room decorated with green and white crepe paper—a small table for a ladder and staples for pins—one morning gone 1 May I dance the two-step with you, student teacher? Did we have fun at the children ' s party? Here, you can ' t have the sixth glass of punch! GEOGRAPHY ACTIVITIES P. T. A. How or why does art correlate with geography and history? Ask the student teachers who, under the guidance of Miss Purnell, addressed the members of the P. T. A. Our first im¬ pressions of parent-teacher cooperation. What were our reactions? • [ 38 ] • djeho union • l 39 ] • QUEENLY BEAUTY MAY DAY The gleam of white on a sunshiny day made us aware of a very lovely May Queen, Eleanor Bosse. The princesses, laden with spring flowers and escorted by dignified princes, proceeded to the throne of evergreen. In a peach gown was the junior princess—a vision of net. The queen ' s escort, Charles Elliott, was a junior, too. GREASE PAINT AND ENTRANCES “PLUMES IN THE DUST” Four of us—Anne Jones, Helen Adkins, Charles Elliott, and Imogene Gordy—became Thespians”. Powder, gray liner, and costumes of 1830 completely removed us from our life and ushered us into the tropic world of circumstance that reacted upon Edgar Allen Poe. FRESHMAN “HAIR DO’S” OBSERVANCE Remember how the sophomores had the boys ' hair cut in the up-swept” style? It was with particular interest that the juniors watched the sophomore antics used to humiliate the green” freshman, for we were but one year removed from our hazing days. POT O’ GOLD JUNIOR DANCE Rainbows flooded the gym with color—vivid, brilliant, typical of the girls ' gowns and the light-hearted spirits of the dancers. Raspberry punch and cake by candle light! Remem¬ ber the orchestra ' s swing version of Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet”? • [ 40 ] • 1941 JUST OUT Class Convenes We, the Sophomore Class of S. T. C., ask you, our readers, to go with us to an imaginary class. The place—anywhere; the time—anytime; the class—an informal one presided over by Coach Maggs, our adviser; the purpose—reminiscence. Imagine Coach” as he half sits, half leans on his desk, jauntily swinging his foot. Can ' t you almost see the twinkle in his eye as he surveys the class? Wait! He speaks: Fellow sophomores, we have had a swell time together this year, and this class is being held so that we may indulge in a little retrospection and review the doings of the sophomore class. Mr. Lavery, as president, will you take up our story?” Then we see another person, a muscular, athletic-looking fellow with crisp, medium- brown hair, and a quiet, unassuming manner. He is our president, Mike” Lavery, who rises slowly and says in his characteristic manner: Shortly after school started this year, we carried on a custom started by sophomores of preceding years. We imposed upon the freshmen a set of ' rat rules ' and whipped them into line immediately with the ' duck-walk ' that sent them quacking up and down the drive. The next two weeks we spent in making things as humiliating as possible for the poor ' frosh ' . Besides slightly altering their appearance by hind-part-before coats, and rolled- up pants legs, we made them do an Indian snake dance on the campus. To lift the Rat Rules, we, the sophomores, acted as hosts and hostesses for the fresh¬ men at a welcome dance. At this time, the ' frosh ' really became members of the freshman class of our student body in good standing. Then another member of the class continues the story: The welcome dance, attended largely by freshmen and sophomores, was a big suc¬ cess, as all the dances at S. T. C. are. As it was a peace offering from the ' sophs ' to the ' frosh ' , all joined together in dancing to the delightful strains of Lew Startt ' s orchestra. No small part of the evening were the Paul fones and the refreshments that were Miss Ruth ' s con¬ tribution to the frolic.” The Coach”, who has been listening delightedly to the comments of the class now leans forward and says, About this time of the year, athletics began to come into their own. Through no fault of the hockey team, composed of such sophomores as Madeline Godfrey, Eleanor Taylor, Hester Farlow, Grace Valliant, Ruth Harcum, Sylvia Gordon, and Roberta Morris, there were no games scheduled and they had to content themselves with intramural games.” Also about this time soccer season was in full swing and ' Ham ' Fox, as manager of the team, is going to tell us about that.” Ham slowly rises to his full height of—well, I ' d say—six feet. A grin begins to break across his face as he purses his mouth to remark: When it comes to soccer, the sophs are definitely there. We contributed a number of excellent men to the team. Goldy Tyler held down the center forward position and played good soccer throughout the season. Mike Lavery ' backed up ' at center half and gave a consistently good account of himself. ' Poop-deck Poppy, ' i. e., Edgar Swann, was goalie, and, despite such equipment as a pair of ten-cent-store gloves, proved himself indispensable to the team. ' Ballyhoo ' Bowen ' s chief slogan was ' kick the ball ' , the only trouble was he didn ' t know where! Ed Dougherty never forgot that he was the only Irishman on the team and proved it by his slogan— ' If you can ' t kick the man, kick the ball ' —but he did kick the ball a number of times and proved a credit to our class. Other contributions to the team were: ' Chris ' Christopher, who did himself proud; not to mention ' Ham ' Fox, yours truly, and ' Chisel ' (Continued on page 44) • [ 42 ] • The Sophnmure Class Charles La very ..

About this time a girl, none other than Ruth K. Harcum, the illustrious member of our class who has proved that social affairs needn ' t interfere with studies or the honor roll, begins: The sophomore class was up and coming socially as well as otherwise. We were the only class to give an informal party in the Little Theatre. A distinguishing feature of January 27 was our dance. Multi-colored balloons fes¬ tooned the ceiling and were released during the last dance. Lew Startt ' s orchestra and the ' swell ' refreshments helped make our dance a success. Just then Gracy Valliant jumps impulsively to her feet. I ' m going to talk about girls ' basketball, she cries. Although at the beginning of the season we hoped to be successful, both the games with Frostburg and Madison were lost. But when you come to intramural basketball—talk about fun! The class games drew almost as big a crowd as did the varsity games. Ed Hayman quietly continues the story of the doings of the class. Don ' t leave the sophomore men out of the picture when it comes to basketball. Three of our men were on the team, Goldy Tyler, Ed Dougherty, and Mike Lavery, not to mention the manager, Ed Hayman, and assistant, ' Foo ' Price. The class clown, Chisel Ingersoll, then speaks: ' Don ' t forget intramural basketball. Goldy Tyler wh ipped into a shape a fine intramural team, which at the conclusion of the season, proved to be champions. Lavery, Lockerman, Burton, Corkran, and Dougherty also coached teams. Dougherty ' s team, the tail-enders, kept their talents well hidden until the very end. Rising sedately!?), Olin Bedsworth, tenor, cynic, and hand-shaker, puts in his two cents ' worth . The tea which the sophs gave about the first of March was something about which we could write a postcard home, saying, ' Having a wonderful time, wish you were here. ' Our tea, presided over by Mrs. Maggs, was distinguished by its record crowd, and its ham and cheese sandwiches, which immediately ran low. Coach interrupts, That ' s all for this time.

Matthews and J. Lloyd St raughn, advisers. As an advisory body, the Council endeavors to serve the best interests of the college. Is the student body of S. T. C. ready for student government? is one of the important ques¬ tions with which the group has been concerned. One of the accomplishments for 1938-39 was the sponsoring, together with the Christian Association, of the Fourth Annual Student Con¬ ference, which was held on March 25, and which was considered the most successful one yet held. The theme of the conference program was Preparation for Tomorrow ' s Future. The Christian Association Betty Lynch, president; Ruth Whetzel, vice-president; Thelma Bowman, secretary; Walter Brittinyham, treasurer; Catherine Keilholts, chairman of program committees; Miss Ruth Powell, adviser. This year the Christian Association began a study of various characters of the Bible The high spots of the association ' s program were the yearly visit to an invalid, sponsoring with the Student Council the Student Conference, and the annual picnic. The Baglean-Carnean Suciety E. Carolyn Warner, president; Hamilton Fox, Jr., vice-president; Elisabeth Hastings, secretary; Evelyn Ku Lankford, treasurer; Richard N. Current, adviser. The Baglean-Carnean Society, the literary and debating club of the college, carried on intercollegiate debates with Washington College and University of Maryland teams. The debating team consisted of Robert D. Grier, III, and Howard Stephenson on the affirmative, Robert Morse and Hamilton P. Fox, Jr., on the negative. The question debated was in relation to the policy of government pump-priming and the results for S. T. C. were one victory, one loss, and one non-decisional debate.

Since it is small in number, the Grange did not provide an extensive social program this year but, by means of picnics, historical trips and visits to neighboring granges, the organ¬ ization promoted fun and recreation for all its members. The Student Grange, a part of the great national order of Patrons of Husbandry, was one of the first groups to be organized at State Teachers College. ' [ 52 ] • Left to right: H. Adkins, B.

Intramural basketball, fieldball, softball, and tennis games have been directed by the Women ' s Athletic Association. The organization helped, also, in sponsoring the annual ath¬ letic meet for the high schools on the Shore. Two of the largest events on the athletic cal¬ endar were the annual athletic demonstration given March 25 for the Student Conference and the A. A. dance, April 21. MEN Lee Burton, president; Goldy Tyler, vice-president; Edward Robertson, secretary; Oris Horsey, treasurer; Benn Maggs, adviser. The men ' s division of the Athletic Association was newly organized this year as a sep¬ arate unit. It has sponsored all varsity sports and intramural games and provided rules for the latter, presented letters to members of the varsity teams, supported a gym exhibition for the Student Conference, and worked in cooperation with the State in providing officials for the county field meets. Home Association Katherine Anthony, president; Louise Lemmon, vice-president; A7inabelle Butin, secretary; Doris Gross, treasurer. fust one big family! At least that ' s the aim of the Home Association, which is an organ¬ ization of all boarding women students—to provide for a pleasant and congenial dormitory life. This year the Big Sisters did the first thing towards making our association like one big family by helping their Little Sisters, the freshmen, adjust themselves. At Hallowe ' en the Day Association and Home Association gave an all-student party. To make the lives of the jitterbugs that we have in our family as pleasant as possible, we purchased an electric victrola and several records. Money made by selling ice cream was used for these purchases. For those who enjoy the life of the Home Corners, the clearing houses of the day ' s work, we purchased a new easy chair for the second floor and secured a card table for the card fiends on the third floor. As in every well-arranged home, there comes the burden of cleaning and keeping the rooms straight. To make this task as interesting as possible, we had some competition be¬ tween the members. As a reward for the neat room at inspection a blue ribbon was put on the mirror. At the end of the year the occupants of the three rooms having the most blue ribbons received a prize for their competent housekeeping. We are one big happy family. • [ 54 ] • Men’s Assm:i;ilimi Edward Robertson, president; Robert Locker-man, vice-president; Eugene Messick, secretary-treasurer; Richard N. Current, adviser. All new students in S. T. C. are members of the Men ' s Association. Its purposes are to provide organization, discipline, and entertainment for the men, and to introduce new¬ comers to college life. Green freshies are ripened under the tutelage of the Association. It has charge of the ping-pong tables, boxing gloves, chess and checker boards, and other equipment provided for the general use of men students. It enforces the rules and regulations presented by the college and Student Council, and provides opportunity for campus leader¬ ship by those properly qualified, since it is a fairly autonomous group and its officers are elected according to unrestricted popular choice. The Association has functioned efficiently in maintaining the high standards of S. T. C. Women’s Day Student Association Betty Culver, president ; Phyllis Greenwood, rice-president; Dorothy Coleman, treasurer; Esther Brad¬ ford, secretary; Miss Henrietta S. Purnell, adviser. The shrill clang of a bell, a sudden silence, then a mad scramble of shouting girls with loads of books rushing to lunches and coats—there ' s only one conclusion: noon hour for the day students. Did you ever try to join the long bread-line at twelve-five in the cafeteria? It could be done, but chaotic describes the room left behind. Throughout the entire day there was someone in the room with whom one might journey to the campus store for a needed(?) article. At noon, however, the whole of the organization was present to greet you. The association has had more than its share of sympathy and convalescence cards to mail this year. Appendicitis seemed to be a contagious disease. More than once an anxious student worried over an imaginary pain. The social affairs were limited, but they included a picnic, the customary tea, and unlimited gossip within the room. Most of the girls in the student body chose the day room as their private retreat. Per¬ haps this explains why it seemed difficult to keep the room orderly. Imagine the frenzied rush of a late student at eight-thirty—-no time for tidiness. A chair became a coat hanger; the table caught the extra books. Picture this and the confusion during the lunch hour. Yet, with the cooperation of the members, the help of the new bins for books, and the use of the black¬ board ledges, the room has been known to maintain a neat appearance— maybe twice. • [ 55 ] • Spring Sports Archery . .

The set is a roughly built cabin room below deck, scantily furnished but, strangely enough, holding an old-fashioned American organ. Here oc¬ curs the murder of Joe, the harpooner, when he acts as spokesman for the mutinous crew. The above scene was snapped just at that moment. The sailors pictured are, reading left to right, Harry McCann as Joe, the murdered mutiny leader; Calvin Harrington, William Kent, Eugene Messick, Paul Phil¬ lips, and Frederic Marvil, all as members of the crew; Edgar Swann, as Slo¬ cum, the second mate; Hamilton Fox as Captain David Keeney. Other mem¬ bers of the cast who were not on the stage at that particular time were Caro¬ lyn Warner, who played Mrs. Annie Keeney, the captain ' s wife; William Blades, who was Ben, the cabin boy; Willis Conover, who was the steward. • [ 65 ] • THE COLLEGE GOING TO THE DAIRY.

Next Door to WSAL Clever Stuff It say somewhere how poetry are language of the heart So I are learning to write poetry. Because now it are spring And something tell me that some day soon My heart are going to talk to me. I think maybe I better know what it are saying So I am learning to write poetry. Most poets are stupid Because they write poetry how it ' s got to rhyme. Rhyming are hard work So I don ' t do it Shakespeare don ' t do it So I don ' t do it Shakespeare and me are both clever. Now you got to excuse me Because I got to write about some persons and stuff Which aren ' t clever Like Shakespeare and me. For example, there are Swiv Nookum. Swiv sit around Doing nothing all day But when night come Oh boy— You should see Swiv dance. Swiv can do lots of things. Like dancing, I mean. Jack Custards can do lots of things, too. But I don ' t mean like dancing; I mean like making wisecracks, Which aren ' t clever, In Mr. Kernt ' s class. There are other freshmen in school, too. No kidding. They all do things. For example, there are Ernie Tomsin, Who play a gittar, And Harmon Klaas Who play a piano, And Billy Blaids And Hossteter. They all do lots of things. So you see Some freshmen are clever— Pretty clever, anyhow. Willis Conover, ' 42 l eyarclless of nour need d yon L tie we can Supply them. I Jle Shore d (araest and most comp iete department d t ore.
