Standing — “Coach” Benn Maggs an d see an excitina aame UNDISMAYED by the loss of the fol¬ lowing 1939-40 men: Horsey, Oakley, Lockerman, Elliott, Garrison and Kehne, Coach Benn Maggs proceeded to turn out another crack soccer team. As the team made its appearance for the first time on Homecoming Day, inter¬ ested spectators sat on the bleachers con¬ sidering possibilities of the new line-up. “What changes will there be in the team this vear?’’ “How will this team compare with last year ' s team? These questions, and many more, were answered in this first game of the season, to say nothing of the games that followed. A Strong Line-up As the 1940-41 soccer squad ran onto the field, eager for the fray, the following line-up was cheered by the fans in the bleachers: goalie, Kircher; fullbacks, Lav- erv and Newcomb; halfbacks, Dough¬ erty, Tyler, and Twilley; forwards, Hay- man, Kirby, Ward, Hyde, and Jones. Other dcpendables who were used off and on in the game were: Wright, Fatzer, Christopher, K. Smith, Hudson, and Ryle. Victory Over Towson Losing only one game in the State, Salis¬ bury, for the first time in its history of men’s athletics, defeated a traditional rival, Towson Teachers College. This feat was especially gratifying and led to other successes. The Close of the Season The season’s totals showed four victories over Goldey (two games), Beacom, and Towson; and two one-point defeats at the hands of West Chester and Frost- burg. As a tribute to one of S. T. C.’s strongest soccer teams, the squad was entertained at a special dinner. Victories and defeats (just two, remember) were reviewed, and group and individual rec¬ ognition was given Coach Maggs and his men through speeches, cheers, and band music. Success to the 1941-42 squad! 13

Alumni President — Photo by Bachracli Miss Margaret Laws rads come dome WARM sunshine, a cloudless skv, and a gentle breeze greeted former graduates and present students on October 12, 1940, in the bleachers bordering the ath¬ letic field. The occasion was the annual fall homecoming when the grads meet and greet each other as well as the faculty and students of S. T. C. They See S. T. C. Defeat Goldey 1 Iomecoming Day was officially begun at 2: 30 when the Teachers College varsity soccer squad met the Goldey Business College boys in a noteworthy encounter. Up and down the field they raced with neither side having a distinct advantage. Through a few clever maneuvers and some fast playing, the S. T. C. squad made four goals leaving the score at the close of the fourth quarter at 4-0 in favor of our home team, thrilling old and new students alike. They Chat Over Tea Following this first successful game of the season, everyone gathered in the So¬ cial Room where chatter and tea were close allies. An hour of hailing old friends, comparing notes, and meeting new friends left the alumni and students ready for one of “Miss Ruth’s” six o’clock dinners. They Honor the Class of ’31 The class of ’31, with fifteen members present, was featured all during the day in honor of its tenth anniversary. Next largest in attendance was the class of ’40, with ten members present. Margaret Laws, president of the Alumni Association, presided over the short busi¬ ness meeting which concluded Fall Homecoming. Long to be Remembered To the sixty-two grads who returned to their Alma Muter, some for the first time since their graduation, Homecoming Day was one long to be remembered! 12

THE HOLLY LEAF in neuj ari? OFTEN, IN the history of publications at S. T. C., the powers-that-be have pro¬ posed a change from the college news¬ paper to a magazine, but they always met with opposition. The year 1940-41 dawned with a pro¬ gressive staff, headed bv Barbara Willing, Editor-in-Chief, and Charles Lavery, Business Manager. Upon inquiry into the financial and other aspects of the situa¬ tion, the time seemed ripe to again at¬ tempt this change. October found every member of the editorial staff tearing his hair over an article for this first magazine. You may also be sure that the members of the business staff, with eighty dollars to raise, were dashing around thoroughly canvassing the town. A Success! And, the first issue was a success! You can imagine the thrills that came to the members of the staff from the comments of the students. “Say, this is all right! , and “Isn’t the cover pretty?’’ Of course there were dissenters, as there always are in every venture, and when the yellow-and- black publication had reached their hands, they said, “Since there is such a radical change, why don’t they change the name also?” Of course, with all the mania for change, the question of a new title did come up. After serious consideration and a great deal of discussion, it was decided that the reasons and tradition behind the name, The Holly Leaf, were too fine to be lightly discarded. A little research dis¬ closed the fact that the Eastern Shore is noted for its holly trees and evergreens, and indeed, is called “The Land of the Evergreens.” Therefore, we are, perhaps, the only teachers college in existence that can use these two names The Holly Leaf and the Evergreen for publications. And so, the name remained unchanged! Our “Land of the Evergreens” Through many trying moments, the Publications Staff has produced four well-received issues of The Holly Leaf. The colorful covers, yellow for autumn, red and green for Christmas, green for spring, and light blue for Commence¬ ment received favorable comment and reflected careful planning. We believe this attempt has been successful. Do you? Enjoying S. T. C.’s first magazine 14
