the evergreen 1940 i everyday life published by the publications staff of state teachers college Salisbury maryland dedicated to ... THIS BOOK, created and conceived by state teachers college men and women, was designed to record the throb of vibrant life expressed in the confines of th e campus and in the confines of the student ' s heart and mind, it is dedicated to all college students here and everywhere who ACT and FEEL and DO. for the purpose of... TYPICAL ACTION WAS carefully sought out and vividly recorded in this, the 1940 edition of the evergreen for the purpose of helping all—the student body, teaching staff and other interested individuals—to remember pleasantly some of the many activities at Salisbury college. administration dr albert s cook state superintendent of schools dr lefferson d blackwell OF SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE TO ALL STATE TEACHERS COL¬ LEGE students, is the evergreen in that it has enabled those di¬ rectly responsible for the year-book to portray visually, and other¬ wise, the many types of activities, curricular and extra-curricular, offered at the college, curricular activities including class room, library, and laboratory work have contributed especially to the academic and professional development of students, extra-cur¬ ricular activities such as athletics, debating, dramatics, glee club, and the orchestra have provided opportunity for the maximum of individual participation, both at the college and in the community in which the college is located, thus developing the inter-relation¬ ships so desirable, and so necessary for well-rounded personalities, individual and group action on the part of the students is valuable only to the extent that it contributes to the fullness of life, that individuals and groups have fully participated in college life is evidenced by the completeness of the evergreen. dr thomas j caruthers THE FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE period should be a rich, stren¬ uous and highly satisfactory period in the life of a student, from the standpoint of personal development he, perhaps, lives twenty years in the four-year college period, liberal arts courses for the thoughtful student liberates intellectual abilities which result in personality growth and in the formation of fundamental knowl¬ edges. but the liberation of thought and the building of knowl¬ edge do not meet all the needs of the student, his knowledge and his thought must eventually become functional, he must not only have knowledge but he must have the ability to do. this col¬ lege aims to contribute to the development of personality by liberating intellectual power and by making this power functional in the fine art of teaching. miss ruth powell college social director instructors margaret h black b.s. music director of chorus mrs william howard bennett a.b., a.m. literature public speaking anna jones cooper assistant librarian richard n current a.b., a.m., ph.d. sociology economics i I2b lucy b gardner a.m. registrar margaret moore hopkins b.s. secretary paul s hyde a.b. education helen I jamart physical education for women hygiene -{13 f Of benn maggs b.s. physical education for men coach for men conductor of college orchestra gladys may lewis assistant librarian anne h ma+thews a.b., a.m. english supervisor of student teaching i i4 y henry e nelson superintendent of building and grounds henrietta s purnell b.s., a.m. art geography john b may b.s, m.s., ph.d. english philosophy 1 15 pauline riall b.s. education jean m sanford a.m. education florence t simonds b.s., m.s., ph.d. botany zoology { I6}� grace e s+rickland a.b., b.s. librarian j lloyd straughn b.s., a.m. chemistry mathematics margaret v weant b.s. education idabelle wiison thomas b.s., a.m. social sciences t in- a umm officers ' 39 - ' 40 flora hankins wiley, president Constance dark cooper, vice-president almona keyser hearne, secretary sarah collins kelley, treasurer idabelle wilson thomas, adviser president mrs flora hankins wiley THE ACTIVITIES OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION originate from two different sources: those growing out of the actual needs of the association as it continues to grow; and those developing from the various class anniversaries. some examples of the activities which have been carried on are: contributions to the edna m. marshall memorial loan fund, organization of county chapters of the alumni, and two general alumni meetings each school year, one in June and the other in October, at the june meeting one of the main features is the sunset ceremony, in which the members of the senior class are accepted into the alumni association, the October meeting is devoted largely to the business of the association; and per¬ haps the most enjoyable feature of both meetings is the alumni dinner where old friends greet each other and new friendships are formed. again the alumni association of state teachers college invites each and every member of the 1940 class to join its ranks and extends to all former members the same cordial hospitality as of old. { 18 H seniors william champlin president imogene gordy vice-president celia cooper secretary lawrence powell treasurer william fernando champlin, jr imogene virgie gordy CHAMPLIN IS THE MAN with an ap¬ petite for words; he has a copious vo¬ cabulary and speaks Spanish fluently, he is a history student, but industrial chem¬ istry will probably be a field that he will enter some day. an argument never fails to sharpen his interest, and he sticks to the side he believes best informed, fear¬ lessly. his ability to do things down to the thread of detail was admired by his class when they made him senior presi¬ dent. most literary for 1940 was voted him at the appropriate time to top all his achievements. IMOGENE HAS THE RARE combina¬ tion of love for study and love for humor, a joke always causes her to chuckle heartily, and study has been of interest because she has scholastically proved her¬ self. of extra-curricular activities she has liked dramatics best and she vividly re¬ members the literati scene in plumes in the dust in which she appeared as mrs. lewis, she has a most kindly nature and wilt unselfishly do things for you, but all have heard d.l. urge her, for heaven ' s sake, don ' t be so slow! celia mae cooper TALL, WILLOWY CELIA IS THE unso¬ phisticated friend of the day students ' room, here she has spent many an hour with her colleagues discussing, discussing— anything from spring bonnets to front door steps, she was never a worrier. lessons were calmly and easily finished, for celia could always manage to become resolute in at least ten minutes of a study hour, she was an active member of the glee club for two years and secretary of the senior class. lawrence alfred powell QUIET, UNASSUMING, INDUSTRIOUS —a really friendly sort—lawrence powell possesses sound common sense which is essential to a well rounded life, a natural sense of humor spiced with dry satiric wit is his specialty, add to this an un¬ readable physiognomy and you have the thing that makes lawrence ' s personality, as one of his practice pupils phrased it, a real nice fellow in the classroom and an even better one outside. -{20 }■ helen esther adkins FIERY HAIR, FIERY SPIRIT, FIERY EN¬ ERGY—possessed with the unique ca¬ pacity of determining what is to be done and thereby doing it. helen was given the position of editor. she has served in sundry capacities and in many organiza¬ tions: editor-in-chief of the college publi¬ cations staff, active participant in dra¬ matics, athletics, and the glee club with leanings toward the literary. amazingly frank, surprisingly open-minded, keenly analytic, and very generous, this versatile character couples genuine friendliness with a strong social sense and tops off the whole with straight honor roll grades and highest academic standing—what is known as an integrated personality. eleanor elizabeth bosse ELEANOR IS THE lavender and lace type of girl—sweet and unassuming, pos¬ sessing all queenly attributes she received the honor of may queen in 1939 because of her untouched natural beauty. her seemly calm and quietness is accentuated by her genuine simplicity, she has done a great service in bringing her kindly in¬ fluence on the religious life of the col¬ lege in her position as president of the Christian association. crawford stewart bennett MUSIC SEEMED TO COLOR STEW¬ ART’S campus career, during his senior year he was president of the men ' s chorus; he was a member of the orchestra for three years; and he has proved him¬ self a good teacher of music in the ele¬ mentary school. music isn ' t the only thing that appeals to him for philosophical argument with repartee enthralls the cap ' n. besides these musical and literary characteristics he is personally neat, good- hearted, and unselfish, remember how many rides he gave you to town! mary esther bradford FOR THREE YEARS esther commuted from snow hill to college and all the day students became her friends, she was their secretary in her junior year, in her senior year she moved into the dorm and won the hearts of those in that group, we surely missed her on our day student athletic teams, she has a fight-to-the- finish spirit that gives her an endurance so necessary to play a good game, how¬ ever, the true depth of the strength of her personality was unloosed when she began her student teaching. helen adkins stewart bennett eleanor bosse esther bradford anna brinsfield dorothy brookharf anna balvin brinsfield A COMBINATION OF THE FINE char¬ acteristics of geniality and sincerity make anna an outstanding girl. personality, beauty, and good mind make her well- rounded and fit for her leadership which she displayed so ably when she was pres¬ ident of the class in ' 39. because she does not lack for ability she can attack a new job unflinchingly and master it. yet serious¬ ness of college has not always completely captivated anna. haven ' t you seen her watch nervously from her dorm window for a blue dodge? mary helen davis IF LIFE WERE A BIG basketball game and helen were playing center, she ' d be happy, many cubits of energy have been sacrificed by her for the pure enjoyment of athletic contest, this interest and abil¬ ity led her to join the a. a. and to initiate cheers in the gym, and won for her the title of best girl athlete for 1940. hard work and that pull-upward attitude for the varsity basketball squad made her col¬ leagues choose her their captain, when winter comes, you are destined to hear helen say, i hope there is much ice this year, for i want to go skating. helen davis charles elliott dorothy Virginia brookhart DOT HAS been most active in col¬ lege life—especially socially. can ' t you remember three lads? in the organiza¬ tions she has been a member of the a. a., Christian association, grange, dra¬ matic club, and baglean-carneans. her out¬ standing work has been, however, in the orchestra and glee club. she has ever been faithful with her violin and has been for four years a member of the girls ' glee club, during her junior year she was stu¬ dent council member. very quiet and probably not so impressive until her latent powers are tactfully drawn out, dorothy then shines in a new light. Charles lee elliott VERSATILE, WITTY, FAST-THINKING charley gets things done in fine sfyle even if they are sometimes late, while at s. t. c. he has been an active member of the sophanes players, appearing in three productions, achievement key winner, queen ' s escort in ' 39, and a member of the soccer squad, scholastically he has repeatedly ranked among the first, an ab¬ sorbing hobby of his is scribbling poetry and twaddle. many of you have frowned on him when reading sockratease. •( 22 ). doris lee elliott D. L. IS A TYPICAL COED of the class, in her presence a kind of friendly interest engulfs you and makes you like her and realize that she is sincere in her good-naturedness, she was vice-president of the class as a junior and president of the day students association as a senior, her stately posture is enhanced by a well- groomed appearance that is so much a part of her. no wonder she was chosen may queen in 1940. harriet bounds graham TRAVELING APPEALS TO HARRIET more than any other avocation, that, in part, accounts for her collection of photo¬ graphs of scenic beauty and unusual menu cards, harriet works quietly and diligently, anything she attempts is well done, har¬ riet is well liked because she is kind and gentle, and has no time for gossip, she along with others will recall amusingly going and coming to practice teaching in princess anne. she was a member of the baglean-carnean debate society and the sophanes players. eleanor lux goldsborough GOLDEN-HAIRED and petite, eleanor is known to us as boots. she has much animation and is socially minded, a com¬ bination that gains for her many friends, in campus organizations she is also active, having participated in the baglean-carnean debate club, sophanes players, and the a. a. her interest in problems of others made the dorm girls of the home asso¬ ciation vote her their president in ' 40. small, attractive, and appealing, she has won a place in our hearts. elizabeth anne hastings MUSIC WAS ALWAYS elizabeth ' s first love until one fitful day she had to direct six songs, speaking seriously, how¬ ever, she has been an active member of the glee club all four years of her campus career, and she held the responsible posi¬ tion as business manager of the debate club in ' 39. she enjoys collecting poetry, horse back riding, and dancing, personally she is cheerful, friendly, and likable, other fastidious seniors have often envied her full wardrobe of swank college clothes. doris lee elliott eleanor goldsborough harriet graham elizabeth hastings julia hickman anne jones julia kathryn hickman CONSCIENTIOUS, sincerely friendly, lovable julia perhaps works harder intel¬ lectually than any other member of the class, she is most earnest in her desire to enhance her personal achievements mentally, physically, and socially—-espe¬ cially mentally. consequently reading is her favorite recreation, and history, eng- lish, and geography are her favorite fields, one will always remember her for the fine notebooks and for the copious collections of illustrative materials. nancy jane kline NANCY IS ONE OF THE three seen so often taxiing around in lib ' s car. those three girls made a cheery mischievous trio for they are just big enough to fit into lizzie. although happy and gay when on one of these little jaunts, nancy jane is otherwise serious and very conscientious, for she feels responsibility keenly, some¬ times, however, when she tends to fret, a little coaxing and good-natured heckling brings her out of the serious realm. nancy jane kline louise lemmon anne elodie jones SHY, PETITE, ANNE vividly recalls to us the beloved child-wife of edgar allan poe thaf she played so sympathetically in plumes in the dust. she has other inter¬ ests besides the dramatic yen; in fact, pro¬ fessionally she is interested in the first grade, most likely she ' ll never forget a seventh grade experience in relationship to volley-ball nets, when in a crowd, anne is somewhat quiet, but those who know her intimately realize that in more friendly groups she is lively and talkative. jacquelyn louise lemmon JACKIE IS PROBABLY a perfect ex¬ ample of cute, one might even associate such things as baby-talk and many dates with her. she is friendly, full of life, and always has something cheerful to say. besides being outstanding socially, she is also one of fhe best athletes for she was chosen among campus leaders as best woman athlete for two consecutive years, heartily we say, nearly everyone liked good old ' lemmon. ' -( 24 )- robert talmage lockerman BOB” LOCKERMAN PLAYED varsity baseball, soccer, and basketball. as a senior he held the office of president of the student council, athletics, then, and administration are his aptitudes in which he has shown steady growth and a great devotion from year to year, consequently he had the distinguished honor of being voted two campus leaders titles: best all-around man, and best man athlete, steadfastness, reliability, and discretion were probably his admirable character¬ istics students considered. rachel olivia nelson OF THE TWO RACHELS, this one is tall and fair with lovely blue eyes—re¬ member those long lashes. her slender, tapering hands show her artistic ability which she expressed so vividly in art courses, but when dogs in her pictures turned out to have only three legs we wondered if she had gone surrealistic, she is a quiet yet popular member of our group, when one sees her, it is almost inevitable that mac is coming around the proverbial corner. rachel mary me mahan THIS IS THE PEPPY, vivacious, dark- brown eyed rachel who is always looking for a little merriment here and there, she can always think of more pleasant things to do than studying for exams or check¬ ing on information in general, the thrill of college life means much to mac, yet her sweet naturalness, such a dominant characteristic of her personality, is the fascination that draws the little people of the first grade to her, and, also, the peo¬ ple of her own class. maude mason savage MAUDE—SMALL, brunette maudie — joined our class in the senior year, al¬ though her time has been limited with us she has afforded us many chuckles because of her nonsensical remarks, she and her friends have beaten a little trail to the college-off-campus store for afternoon cokes. therefore she has taken advan¬ tage of her opportunity to enjoy herself while back in college; but also she has taken advantage of her opportunity to increase her store of knowledge. diffi¬ culties of arranging and rearranging her schedule seemed not to disturb her for her name was among the few on the honor roll at the end of the first semester. robert lockerman rachel me mahan rachel nelson maude savage .{ 25 ). ruth whelzel ruth havenner whetzel FOR BEAUTY, STYLE, AND ECON¬ OMY, see ruth whetzel. attractive but not glamorous; well and neatly dressed but not overly so; economical with her time, her finances, and her life, ruth has proved her capability of management in the college store as well as with children in the elementary school, though of re¬ tiring nature, she always mak6s the grade with her work well done and on time, for rare refreshment, make her laugh and notice the crinkles about her eyes, it does the old heart good! - 126 !- a-th inking A RAINY DAY— ti me hanging on my hands since all the children are married and in their hones miles away, ah, yes! a thought! i would creep to the well-filled attic to ransack, and to refresh old memories, party dresses, ice skates, straw hats, etc., all of which make one think of the t ime when-. the first object i stumbled against and, of course, opened, was a wooden and tin trunk, which surely must have known noah. you know what ' s in trunks—just plain junk that you have started to throw away twenty times, but didn ' t, right under my aunt penelope ' s bundlesome bustl e i saw a frazzle-edged cork scrap book with s. t. c. strung carelessly across the front in maroon and gold felt, my college colors—those college days seemed vague, when i sat me down on the floor and turned the first page something called memories, i guess, whisked me back to 1936 when i was as green a freshman as ever walked on sandy soil, the first two or three pages were titled freshman doings, and the doings must have been comical—for the scraps sure looked it. one picture was of classmate john bunting (now a prominent preacher); and dot delahay (now married and a grandmother) hanging out the botany lab window on the second floor, well, they were good to have adorn the institution ' s windows, for as i remember it they won achievement awards in our first year, and to the right of this was another snap shot (how the styles have changed); mary jane webb, Catherine dunn, hunter mann, and the others—strange that i couldn ' t recall all the names. the crowning event of that year must have been the freshman formal held in december—so the program said, anyhow, it was some gala affair for us—i can ' t recall my escort, but little hearts were drawn around the edge of the program. my mother used to say, rain will fall at the worst times. and so it fell when we lost one of the liveliest of our lot—bob white. thou shalt live, until, losing our sod, we, your friends, your family, shalt be with thee, in god. s. sherwell ' 37 how can i ever forget the last time i saw him! .... next were pictures and clippings gathered during the sophomore year, we looked a shade less green and a notch more snooty, our num¬ ber had decreased from 100 freshies to 48 sophs. the class dance that year was in january. i recall that there was no snow and we made some—bits of paper, you know, shot out of a blower, i can ' t remember if our adviser, dr. simonds, got her long frock hooked in the snow blower d 27 b or not, but it seems to me somebody did. we had two beauties and one intelligent (maybe a few more) mixed with the bramble: kathylee pusey, may queen; harry me cann, queen ' s escort; carroll speck, most literary student in school, how could i forget those woe-begone pictures of the student conference, pyramids, hand-stands, blue danube waltz, and parallel-bar feats! although my scraps said no more about student con¬ ferences, i distinctly recall that we had one each of the four years i at¬ tended s. t. c. do i distinctly remember also that while we were prac¬ ticing for one of the things i fell off the top tier of a shapely pyramid? ah, yes! four of those performances, but they were such fun. as two- year-olds we seem to have done our bit. ah, but how queer reminiscing is; sometimes you ' re sad and some¬ times you ' re not. with a sigh and a they were the good old days, i turned the page to a group of somewhat faded pictures and yellowed clippings, recalling events of my junior year, the first picture that i noticed was of a young man with a smile spread from ear to ear, and as i scratched my head trying to figure out the name to go with that in¬ fectious grin i saw in one corner the neatly-printed letters, champ. then i remembered that this same champ was the dr. william champlin, famous history instructor at aristotle college, and that during the summer of ' 38 had hopped off into connubial bliss, but that ' s the way of all flesh! .... observation!!! where in the world did i ever hear that word? how silly of me, why of course observation, then teaching; then teaching and observation, with a smattering of conference thrown in. Those carry¬ ings-on were just as essential to our school diet during those last two years, as ham is to eggs, observation decorated the top of a poem, then ran on— sitting on a camp stool thinking thoughts so deep feeling like a pack mule trying not to sleep, etc., — poet c. I. e. little spurts of thoughts come back now—teaching in campus school, pinehurst, princess anne, wicomico high, east Salisbury, all those rides to and fro, tacks in seats, fights on school grounds, flat tires, and pasting columbus on a poster. . . . three or four clips back on a step was the may queen of ' 38 chosen from my mafes, and here again in ' 39 was the may queen, an d pretty, too, chosen again from my class, she was eleanor bosse then, and is now mrs. waiter . . . somebody . . . yes, and the ' 40 may queen was also from our class, believe it or not it was doris lee elliott, one worthy of the title, oh, i do wish school were six years long instead of four years short for there is so little time . . . all the memoirs of the last few pages seemed to have been blurred by snow (except those concerning teaching, about which i ' ve already discoursed, and which were not cold with snow but often hot with argument.) the weather man last week said we haven’t had so much d 28}� seniors -un snow since 1939-40, i figure the snow belonged on those pages, the last two or three items were . . . well, don ' t ask me to talk too mu ch about them, may day, graduation, parting and . . . i ' d rather just stop here, for those last few weeks—oh, i remember well—dripped right away just like tallow from a candle and left only ashes that are such sweet memories. name ess BOBBY LOCKERMAN squeezed a lemon, the juice of which dropped on his graham cracker so that he had to remove it with libby ' s fruit juice, but the price of bathing powells were on the in-kline so he could not wipe all the dot away, imogene! what trouble he had with bosse helen adkins who insisted that she knew a method not so savage, bobby, who was quite a mac mahan when aroused, started to fight. in a stew, helen put on her boots and fought like a champ, she got a half-nelson on bob anna toe hold too. after tossing him as high as the celia-ing, she dabbed on a drop of lady esther and made davis and jones whetzel and comb her hair so that she ' d be more like cleopatra when she met her hick-man who worked at the auto agency. juniors esprit de corps” ACTION! what one word could better express the spirit of the class of ' 41 — s. t. c.

NOVEMBER—the junior girls, too, take to athletics, the hockey field is the scene of great activity during junior practice periods, even in the intramurals the juniors place second, one of the high points of the season is the game against the soph boys, they sure can wield those sticks! maybe the femmes are the weaker sex after all. action on the stage! the junior assembly, unable to forget our professional attitude, we contrast the traditional with the progressive school, tyler and bowen are model children (well, anyway—children) of the traditional school with ed dougherty personifying the popular idea of the master with the rod. DECEMBER—Christmas: and with it comes a melee of children ' s christmas plays submitted to miss black by the earnest juniors, who have searched their brains for some original thought, the usual preparation for the gala season, but with a different note for the juniors for they are initiated into the art of directing ele¬ mentary school plays, the final candlelight service with the real spirit of christmas invading all our souls, the music by the college chorus, the christmas story, read by barbara willing, inspiring us anew, then vacation . . . home . . . •{ 32 ]. the junior class awdrey Christopher evelyn vincent . . .

though it seemed hard at the time, we look back upon the occasion now and laugh. on September twentieth, robert lockerman, president of the student council, called the first meeting of the freshman class for the purpose of electing class officers and a class adviser, the outcome of the election was as follows: thomas e. price, of centreville, president; I. wilson brockson, of mardela springs, vice-president; elizabeth moore, denton, secretary; donna o. hoyt, of easton, treasurer, dr. florence simonds of the science department was chosen class adviser. at the end of the first nine weeks dr. blackwell proudly announced that thirty of our freshmen had made honor grades, again at the end of the semester, dr. blackwell announced that twelve per cent of the freshman class had made the honor roll. the freshman formal, the outstanding event of our first year, was held on friday, december eighth, lew starrt ' s orchestra was engaged for the occasion, the dance was said to have been one of the most successful ever given in fhe school. early in the year this enthusiastic class discovered its need for a class paper, dr. john b. may, freshman english instructor, acted as faculty adviser for the paper and appointed james hyde editor, other members of the staff were elected by the class. the class has also been outstanding for its participation in athletics, on each of the varsity teams the freshmen were well represented, the gym team, composed of fhe twenty best athletes in the school, who were featured on the night of the student conference, contained a large percentage of freshmen participants, robert c. kehne, of frederick, won the rope climbing trophy with a record of 5.5 seconds. among the other activities of fhe class was a tea given on the afternoon of february fourteenth, with elizabeth moore, class secretary, acting as hostess. when we entered this college last fall dr. blackwell announced that not only was our class the largest freshman class in the history of the school but according to our high school records, the most outstanding, our hope is that we have maintained that previous record throughout this past year. -{44V group activities council left to right: b. collison I. straughn o. horsman c. lavery n. kline r. lockerman s. powell w. hollis miss h. jamart w. newcomb student counci AFTER THE USUAL DINNER, WITH GREAT SERIOUSNESS, THE STUDENT COUNCIL thrashes out the knotty problems of the student and faculty interaction, they have as their aim the fostering of harmonious relationships and better living conditions within the walls of s. t. c. all problems brought before the council are discussed and voted upon by the members with whole-hearted interest and respect. critical attention has been given to such problems as a recreational room, revision of the handbook, and the method of electing campus leaders, a recreational room, accessible at any time to dorm day students, should provide for an even more homogeneous student body, there is a need to supplement the handbook to make it more informative, because of a larger student body, the method of campus elections has been discussed with the purpose of improvement, and with these, other main problems have been considered, probably, the most outstanding accomplishment for the councilmen was the sponsoring of the gala fifth annual student conference on march the sixteenth. { 46 E ocalists the college chorus WOMEN ' S MEN ' S dorothy brookhart president stewart bennett marjorie wright vice-president leona beauchamp librarian william slemmer ougusta heath secretary robert dulin betsey collison pianist leland dunn director—miss mar gar et h. black h. adkins d. brookhart h. johnson m. wright w. newcomb k. appleton d. me vey j. stevenson b. willing 1. dunn b. breneman a. jones m. savage v. harcum w. renshaw c. cooper s. powell b. shugart s. bennett s. sharp d. fogwell d. elliott t. bowman o. bedsworth c. ward h. gibson 1. beauchamp r. brandon e. bowen t. price b. handy m. bounds b. collison c. elliott g. tyler e. hastings s. bradley f. standiford j. hyde o. horsey n. hicks d. gross e. taylor r. williams d. siddons a. heath k. tilghman r. dulin THE MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE CHORUS ARE ALWAYS READY with a varied program of music, in the past year they have sung for the governor ' s banquet, the d. a. r. luncheon, the regional teachers ' meeting, the student conference, and sixteen other special occasions, participation in the college chorus makes each member feel that he or she has contributed something to the happiness of the college and the community. -{ 7 }. actc sophanes players helen johnson, president;

THIS YEAR the sophanes players have been especially active In their bi-monthly meetings, each member took an active part in some meeting by contributing something to it, if not in acting then in aiding with make-up, stage sets, or costumes, short one-act plays, monologues or quizzes related to dramatics were given and were enthusiastically received. in the fall of the year the sophanes players brought to state teachers college curtis cooksey, a well-known actor from broadway, who gave a shakespearean costume recital, his selections, which included macbeth, richard iii, and hamlet, were thoroughly enjoyed by the school and com¬ munity. before christmas an all-male cast presented to the student body in an assembly submerged, a one-act tragedy, this play and another were also given over the radio, at the student conference a group pre¬ sented shall we join the ladies, a one-act satire on melodrama by sir james m. barrie. in may the dramatic club presented a one-act play at the meeting of the dorchester and wicomico garden clubs, in pre¬ senting these plays the club hopes to increase the poise, and improve the voice and enunciation of the actor, many benefits, derived from participation, can be carried into later life. {48 f- left to right across top: s. bennett c. long mrs. current l. glover d. brookhart director maggs row ii: h. richardson c. ward h. wells j. dark m. smith row iii: s. colgain c. lavery d. williams d. gross I. beauchamp I. dunn j- ' ;.- ' ’ ’ ' mtKKUr ' rg| K, J fc if r dT ! 7 y f 1 the college orchestra charles lavery, president; leland dunn, librarian; benn maggs, director A HUSH . . .

THROUGH OUR INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS in our monthly meet¬ ings we have attempted to establish firmly student religious activities in this college, in our contact with the ministers, other visitors and our faculty, we have greatly increased our informal education, one of our most honored guests was mrs. louise g. pfeutze of Philadelphia, secretary of the student Christian movement of the middle atlantic region, she dis¬ cussed with us the activities of organizations of other campuses and their problems. the activities of our Christian association, though few, give forth many educational helps, the vesper service, which is held in the social- room every Sunday evening at 6:00 o’clock, is well attended by the college students, leadership, a worth-while factor, is well expressed in these beneficial meetings by student participation, the Christian association firmly believes that no campus life can be complete without religious activities; therefore, we hope to establish this in the mind of every student.

BETTER ATHLETICS FOR ALL is the aim of the men ' s athletic association, in pursuit of this goal, the association has secured the active participation of practically every male student enrolled in some type of physical activity, it sponsored one of the gamest soccer games and one of the strongest basketball teams in the history of the college— a basketball team which came within a deep breath of the american tournament cup, and a junior varsity team both in soccer and basket¬ ball. more extensive was the intramural basketball program, other activities sponsored were a volley ball and a ping-pong tournament, in which the faculty featured prominently. at the physical education demonstration on all college night, every¬ body was the star performer—eve rybody from the mat boys and wrestlers to the rope climbers. home association eleanor goldsborough, president; annabelle dulin, vice- president; laura Harrison, secretary; betsey collison, treasurer; miss ruth powell, adviser. THE CREATION OF A CONGENIAL and homelike atmosphere is the main aim of the home association which is composed of the dormi¬ tory students of the college, this year by the cooperation of all we raised a large fund and spent it wisely. late in the spring of 1939 three out-of-door fireplaces were built on the campus near the tennis courts, we have enjoyed suppers and lunches there when we cooked our wieners and roasted oysters over the red hot coals. 4 54 V one day in the middle of january after a heavy all-night snow, we found ourselves without cooks or maids, confusion and uproar? no! everything progressed as usual, girls carried brooms and mops—and used them, too. lunch was served—prepared by emergency cooks, students of s. t. c.—bean soup and biscuits tasted like a steak dinner to us that day. and so it is plain to be seen that all play and no work is not the motto of our home association. men ' s association edward bowen, president; ernest thompson, vice-president; aw drey c.

H 55 H the college home WHEN GIRLS ENTER THE DORM and select a room there, they are about to establish a new home, this is the college home, the home association, made up of these dorm girls, attempts to make conditions more cozy and more interesting here. Sunday nights partic¬ ularly are made a time of merry-mak¬ ing—with college coeds and college dudes —toasting marshmallows and making fudge, life in the dorm is filled with such home-like variety. ■MM we II done REAL HOME LIFE—and in a dormitory, too! to promote this real home life, the members of the home association, that is, all women board- inq students, have striven in a number of ways to make money with which to beautify the home corners in the dormitory, as well as other parts of the college. in order to earn the money for these purposes the home association acted as hostesses to many of the civic organizations, they have enter¬ tained the district meeting of international quota club, the daughters of the american revolution, the kupples klub, the tri county homemakers ' association, wicomico county homemakers ' association, state home eco¬ nomics meeting, the junior woman ' s club, extension workers of the uni¬ versity of maryland, the dairymen, and the regional teachers meeting. the luncheons and dinners served to these groups were not primarily to make money but rather to be of service to the community and, in fact, the whole lower shore, however, from dinners and luncheons served and ice cream sold, these earnest home -makers have earned $309.20. unselfishly, they have bought many things which make life more pleasant not only for them, but also for all the other students in the college. some of the things they have done are: bought an electric water cooler costinq $116.38 for the third floor, repaired the victrola and bought records for it, $32.50; bought a new radio for the social room which is enjoyed by students and faculty, as well as visitors, $130.00; bought pictures for the evergreen, $17.32; and repaired radios throughout the building, $15.00. thus valuable experience is being gained by these potential home¬ makers through service to others. athletics sSlifili varsity soccer row i. r. lockermnn, w. newcomb, e. bowen. b. nel¬ son, t. price, e. dougher+y. row ii.
