T. C. CARS LINED I ' lIE DRIVEW AY, students jammed the halls, and eonfnsion pre ailed that seeond day of September when one hundred young men and women from e ery eorner of the State eame to start their eollege eareers at Salisbury. Busy girls draped with eurtains, rugs, and bird-eages, busier mothers earrying suiteases and pillows, and weary, silent-suffering fathers toting trunks to the elevator made a steady trek toward the dormitor}-. Thy portals statid an open door Ci omim of the reen First day activity MEANWHILE, THE EACULTY was kept busy explaining the exaet pro- eediire in registering and signing for eourses, advising the neweomers in se- leetion of a eurrieulum, or just pointing out the eafeteria to a weary freshman. Then eame the first assembly — an ex- ample of Things to Come — with songs and speeehes, adviee of some upperelass- men who ' Tnew the ropes” and the eheerful thought of one instruetor who eommented that less than one-third would probably graduate from S. T. C.! In a short time with the aid of a few upperelassmen who eame early, the freshmen were aequainted with the eampus, the building, and with those people who were willing and able to answer timid questions or direet them to Room 125. . 6 . IX) X ' lIIS GIVEN QUANTITY (i.e., the freshies) was added, in the eonrse of approxi¬ mately twenty-four hours, the remainder of the eollege enrollment. By bus, ear, or the reliable thumb, they returned for another year of ' ork and fun — these “eollegiates” who really kne ’ tlie sehool, the faenltv, and one another. The halls and elassrooms, offiees and dormitories re-eehoed their eheerv helloes. It was no trouble at all to find a little sister or brother in the erowd of neweomers who might need the adviee of a sophistieated soph on the town’s (a) best theatre, (b) eheapest drugstore, and (e) most respeetable night elub. (How did that get in here?) . 7 . s oaa (yyki ii The Athletic Association sponsors the first formal dance of the season THE SOCIAL WHIRL was officially j opened on September 4 when the faculty, in ' Test bib and tucker,” lined itself up for mass inspection by the students. A long, long line of professors, stretehing up the interminable length of the Social Room, reached its final¬ ity with Miss Ruth” and able upperelass- men restoring spirits and bolstering morale with ' ell-timed refreshments. After a fe ’ ’eeks spent at sehool, news from home was as weleome as manna from heayen. The annual Lreshman-Parent-Lae- ult ’ dinner yas a •onderful ehanee to get at least eertain members of the family here to look us oyer. And they eame — to enjoy the quips of the toastmaster, the mnsie of the String Ensemble and the College Chorus, the speeehes of Mr. Ceorge Chand¬ ler and Joe Colgain, and “Miss Ruth’s” fried chieken and “fixins.” . 8 . INn’LVriON — dreaded word to the fresh¬ men — brings a enrions glint to the e e of e erv red-blooded sophomore. The “rats” en¬ joyed being the “something new” — added to the eollege — for one short weeh. Then an Ordinanee by the Sophomore Conneil was posted that left no doubt as to the fiendish nature of some npperelassmen. For fourteen days sneh things essential to eollege life as dates, je ’elry, or perfeeth ' matehed soeks were forbidden. Pigtails, green ribbons, huge name plaeards, and elothes turned inside out beeame the order of the day. Then a “rat” party that pro ’ed the ability of sophs to “dish it out” or the frosh to “take it” eli- maxed the period of ser ’itnde. And the }onng man who wrote home to his parents that he “really took a beating” u as not speak¬ ing figurati ' elv! At last, Friday, September 19, arri ' ed! Was it a sudden ehange of heart that eaused this notiee to be posted? Our pacldlcs, our courts, and our orders are done; And now all the “rats” can join in the fun. So on lAiday, September 19, 19-fl, We hope that the “rats” for inanv a block. At soinctiine round about eight o’clock. Will he lured to the gym by tuning up groans Or most surely by later melodious tones, And will scamper and dance the cycning away In a spirit most cheerful and merry and gay. The frosh learn to take it ervice STUDENTS in the college were not the only ones caught in the maelstrom of civil¬ ian or military defense. The alumni of S. T. C. has wholeheartedly and unreservedly accepted the challenge that has been thrust upon the free peoples of this world. Each and everyone is doing his share in making the term “National Defense” something more than mere words. Those who preferred to do their fighting through teaching in the classroom are scat¬ tered over the State. We believe that instill¬ ing in the minds of children the urgency of retaining our freedom and maintaining the foundations of our democratic society is an imperative duty. Many joined some branch of the service in the nation’s fighting forces. “On the land, in the air, or on the sea” there are some representatives from our college. But whether it is manning the guns, “keeping them fly¬ ing,” helping the Red Cross, or working day and night in vital defense industries, they are fighting our American Crusade. To these men we say, “S. T. C. is proud of von! Both alumni and undergrads are happy to receive vour letters from the hills of Ken- tucky, the plains of Texas, the Territory of Hawaii or wherever you may be stationed in our service — the service of Uncle Sam.” Two especially good meetings have been held this year under the leadership of onr officers: President, Mrs. Ruth Voshel Mez- ick (Mrs. Howard Mezick) of Denton; Vice- President, Miss Mabel Dickey of Indian Head; Secretary, Miss May Willoughby of Preston; and Treasurer, Mrs. Mary Davis (Mrs. Ralph Davis) of Salisbury. At this time it seems impossible to secure the names of all our bovs no ' ser ang with the forces. This is only a partial “We Are Proud of Yon” list to which additional names are being added daily: Second Lieutenant Whlliam O. Blades . 10 .

These are the aetivities that might indieate any one of many tvpieal days at the eollege — outstanding beeause of a new experienee, a major triumph, or just a good time. I lammers banging, paint brushes swinging, eostumes slipping over one ehubby girl’s head or past another’s slim waist — as student teaehers got in the wav of INDUSTRY. Thus the Sixth Grade (in eollaboration with the Sen¬ iors) presented the gigantie speetaele of the “Mighty Days of Robin Hood.” And after- w’ards — no Broadway produeer eould tell ns a thing about giving a major performanee. Write a play, paint baekdrops, build sets, find eostumes, and direet the eharaeters — that’s all there is to it. Was it fun? Ask any Senior. THE HALLOWE’EN PARTY, sponsored by the Home Assoeiation and the Day Stu¬ dents, offered a respite from sueh worldly eares. The gymnasium beeame the stalking grounds of ghosts, goblins, and ghoulish fig¬ ures. Mnsie and noise, puneh (of various kinds) and applesauee (ineluding the eake kind) all helped faeulty and students eele- brate the holiday. Sally Dr den, eostnmed as a Spanish senorita, eaptured the prize for the prettiest. The funniest in the group seemed to be Carmel Wilson and Jake Dry- den ho ■ere, for the night, the supporting ends of a burlesque elothes-line. Jimmy Thompson was easily the best disguised pres¬ ent; and Charles Pitts, pieture of the Himeh- baek of Notre Dame himself, was judged the most original. 12 . ‘DEEP-KNEE BEND, now: hands on Ihps, jump to position, feet apart — one, two, three . . .

After a ork-ont in the g ' m, ' ‘phvs ed” stu¬ dents are sent out to faee the wintry blasts on the hoekev field. One of the most exeiting games was between the senior women, who held the intramural hoekey ehampionship for three years, and the sophomores. After a fieree and raging battle, the sophs won, 2 to 1, and went on to defeat the juniors and eop the 1941 ehampionship. Athletie prowess among these sophomores does not seem to be eonfined to the women. x nother e ’ent of purely loeal interest oe- enrred when the sophomore ' ' Bears” de¬ feated the freshman Redskins” to win the toneh football ehampionship of the sehool. A break in the regular sehednle eame with the State deaehers Meeting, when sehool was dismissed a half-day early and we en¬ joyed a “long” week-end. Three w ' eeks later found the eollege almost oyerrun with strangers as the eonnt ' home¬ makers made rise of the dining hall for their Inneheon and meeting, and “dorm” and “day” girls seryed as hostesses. The next day eyeryone w ' as senrrying aronnd getting ready for the A. A. danee. College aetiyities were in full swing. • 13 • EARLY IN THE MORNING students are seen hurrying up the walk or hopping off a bus trying to make that eight-thirty elass. Tliis is an espeeially diffieult feat for the eoed who stayed up late the night before — studying, of eourse. A probable laek of break¬ fast and the steady grind till 12:05 are the major eauses for the sudden bursting open of elassroom doors and the head-on rush for the eafeteria. Here the dorm girls oeeupy front seats, the men run a elose seeond, and the belated day students trudge a little farther back. However, campus life really begins about 2:20 when most of the classes arc out and students gather on the front steps or trek over to Lloyd’s for a Yoke.” I lere they hash out the present world situa¬ tion, the latest faculty gossip, or the reason for that C-minus grade. THE EIRST real hint of winter comes about the last Thursday in November when every¬ one suddenly realizes that this is Thanks- giving. “Miss Ruth’s” annual turkey dinner brought full attendance to the dining room on Tuesday night, November 16. Next day found the halls lined with suitcases and their not-so-patiently waiting owners. Bv mid¬ afternoon, the place was practically deserted for the first vacation — until Monday, November 22nd. . 14 • Q Yinler am . TI IE FIRS r REAL snow brought out boots and initteiis, snowballs and sniffles. As far as eve could see, a white blanket co ered ground and building. Out in the front dri cwav a regular snowball fight de elopcd; luckily, there were no broken windo •s, no casualties. Organizations were especially acti ’e during these winter weeks. The Baglean-Carnean Society arranged a schedule of debates for members of their club and for contests with other teams in the State, dliey conducted semi-weekly forums oyer Station BOG, and took time out to elect a new ' president to fill the yacancy caused by the departure of George Jones. • • Members of the Dramatic GInb were enjoy¬ ing, in their regular meetings, such plays as “Red Garnation” directed by Margaret Jones and “Finders Keepers” directed by Ellen Libis and aspiring to act as well as Ruth Draper — some day! Then, the luncheon and the all-day meeting held by the Gonnty Homemakers on No- ember 6 gaye ambitions members of the Home Association their first chance this year to shove their ability as hostesses in the college dining-room. More and more actiyities were crow ' ded into busy days as another Ghristmas season seemed to “creep np on us unaware.” Familiar scenes • 15 • ike Splrll of S ervLce PEACE AND GOODAVIEE, carols and hymns, soft lights and gay decorations — Christmas as usual. However, Christmas ’asn’t quite the same this year; there w’Sls an nndereurrent of sadness, a more reverent, heartfelt prayer than we had ever experieneed in our short lives — for this eoimtry is at war. Traditional eeremony was not given up in the faee of a national erisis; beeanse of it, a new and deeper feeling was aehieved. The annual eandlelighting serviee has eontinued to be an impressive rite sinee that little band of pioneers, baek in 1925, first met for a short Christmas vesper serviee in the librarv. Then the big red eandle, svmbol of the Spirit of S .T. C., w ' as lighted; it is relighted eaeh year. As eaeh student from it lights his small eandle, he seems to reeeive inspiration, and to humble himself before the flame as those shepherds did before the Star in the East. Bible readings and stories earrv one baek to the first Christmas, nineteen hundred and forty-one years ago. As the ser ' iee is eon- eluded, all present burst out in song of halle¬ lujah and ' Clory to God in the Highest.” The Wise Men of long ago did not eome empty-handed. Nor do the students and fae- nlty of S. T. C., for they bring Him gifts by giving to underprivileged ehildren in the vieinity. Other aetivities surrounding the Christmas season were not overshadowed by the eandle- light serviee, but rather they were inspired by it. The annual turkey dinner, the earol- ing, and the exehange of gifts and good wishes — all w ' ere attended w’ith a pra er that these traditions might always be performed in the true spirit of ser ■iee. . 16 . (yyiik GommunLbj Goncerls AX EN ' EX ' l’ long looked forward to at the eollege was Salisbury’s first opera, and the “Nine O’Cloek Opera” produetion of “The Marriage of Figaro” was well attended and fully enjoyed. It ' as performed without eos- tnmes or seenerv, but the elever artistry of the narrator and the east of young, good- looking Ameriean singers more than eom- pensated for this. Eaeh year the Cooperatiye Coneert Assoeia- tion gi ' es to its members the best artists ayailable. Sponsored by members of the eom- mnnity, the eollege also helps in seleeting artists, selling tiekets, or ser ang in admin- istratiye eapaeities. Representing the faenlty were Miss Margaret Blaek, Dr. J. D. Blaek- well, a yiee-president of the organization, and Dr. Anne II. Matthews, eaptain of one of the teams. Representing the students were Charles Pitts, Hugh Smith, Betsy Collison, and Virginia Rose Vineent. In addition to “The Marriage of Figaro,” eoneert members enjoyed the inimitable eharaeter sketehes of Rnth Draper, famed disense, and finally the Barrere-Britt trio — flutist, eellist, and pianist. Good performanee is a far better salesman than speeehes or pamphlets, and the highly sneeessfnl season this year wiW eertainly go far in assuring the Assoeiation a lasting plaee in the eommnnity. • 17 • Ofc Of ill % PREPARED THE PHILOSOPHY of It Cmit Happen Here has long since been ridiculed and forced to take cover; the swiftly oceurring events of Deeember, 1941, ended its existenee. Fol¬ lowing PEARL HARBOR and the almost immediate deelaration of war, the nation as a whole deeided that, should it happen here, we eould and would be prepared. Like mushrooms, eivilian defense elasses sprang up over the eountry, and our eom- munitv was no exeeption. The eollege plays a huge part in loeal preparedness — helping during blaekouts, forming first-aid elasses, eondueting air-raid tests. And the people who take part are not limited to students and faeulty. From the town have eome house¬ wives, business men, teaehers, and others to attend home-nursing, nutrition, eanteen, and air-raid warden elasses and, in general, to find and fit themselves for a place in the war effort. We were made more aware of the national situation through forums eondueted in the elassrooms and on the air, through new emphasis plaeed on eurrent happenings — not only in history and eeonomies elasses, but in every eurrieular or extra-eurrieular aetivity. Regular first-aid elasses were rein- foreed and reimbursed as all of us learued to tie open head bandages, apply digital pres¬ sure, or to give artifieial respiration. The rub¬ ber, oil, and metal shortage made us more appreeiative of the things we had at hand, and somewhat more thrifty in earing for our own possessions. We are all learning to be good First Aiders . 18 . 0)4 0)4re Prepare WE HOPE ONK OF ri IF greatest of the “neeessary (?) evils” in tlie edueational system is that regii- larlv oeeurring inter al eommonlv known as FXAM WFFK. Books are frantieallv pulled from erowded library staeks, nntidv bins, or dormitory desks, as ex eryone deeides it’s high time he found out what “Middle- town” is really about, or what snlfiirie aeid does to iron, or how Plato inflneneed almost anything. Books, xxith or without aeeom- panying student, ean be found anywher e! Cramming (distasteful word, isn’t it?) reaehes a fever piteh, and then it’s all over but the praying. “Miss Ruth,” knowing well the eondition of onr weakened minds and bodies, was on hand every afternoon with tea and eookies, or tiny, tasty sandwiehes to bolster our morale “for the duration.” As the xxeek dragged by, seniors eompleted their student teaehing and looked forward to the da ' when their elass w’ould onee more be reunited. Juniors, having learned all there was to know about Afriea, India, and China in geography elass, awaited with mingled emotions of fear and hope in beginning their praetiee-teaehing. But this was far from the minds of the freshmen and sophomores who were learning “Speak the speeeh, I pray you,” or all four stanzas of “’Fhe Star-span¬ gled Banner.” But some xell-known law definitely states that all things must finally eome to an end — so with examinations; and the folloxx ' ing week-end was spent in rather premature eel- ebration or reeuperation — or both, as the semester beeame past history. One week when everyone GETS BUSY . 19 . am an 9 eso luilom Planning at Floyd’s THE LAST WEEK of January — a new year and a new semester. “This time Em really going to study.” Well-meant resolu¬ tion, it is quiekly made and quiekly broken when winter aetivities get into full sway. “Let’s run over to Floyd’s for a eoke. It isn’t time for elass yet.” Or assembly, or dinner, or the danee — any are equally good exeuses. Meanwhile, everything seemed to aequire new vigor and sparkle. Basketball games were fast and furious; danees were sweet and swingable; and assemblies beeame more en¬ joyed and better attended. Our true southern hospitality aroused itself when the Civilian Morale Committee made possible basketball games between S. T. C. and nearby Army eamps. Later, informal daneing and refreshments were enjoyed by hosts and guests alike. Then about the first of February the ealm and dignified seniors began to get “hot under the eollar” or tried to steady shaking hands and knees as the first eounty superintendent eame to “look us over.” Soon eontraets were sent to a few lueky people; more followed. Juniors gazed in awe at the almost full- fledged teaeher with a Job! Oblivious to all these minor eruptions, elasses eontimied; the speeeh elass tried its hand at giving plays; zoology was relin¬ quished in favor of botany; and the prineiples of Ameriean polit ies and eeonomies were hammered into drowsy minds. Seeond semester was like all the others that have preeeded it for years — with a new ele¬ ment. This year it was not the seniors alone who hung on to eaeh dav, trying to streteh it out. All of us are living todav as it eomes, yet looking forward to the future — prepared for whatever it may bring. . 20 . format OfctivLlies NO Ol’IIlilR AC ' I IX i rV occupies as im¬ portant a place on tlic social calendar as do formal dances, for each class and almost every organization sponsored some kind of party for its members. Often the gymnasinm was dressed in ‘drills and furbelows” till it seemed ready to burst with sheer pride and self-eoneeit. Remember the sop homore danee? V for Vie- tory, flags and streamers for three great men: Washington, Lineoln, and Franklin Roose- elt. And Lew Startt’s orehestra — another S. T. C. habit — at its best. ' The Sophanes Players Costume Ball, in the light of national eonserxation, boasted of deeorations without the use of paper. But ingenuity and hard work ereated an artistie setting for the figures in swirling satin or slashing tafTeta and their dark-snited eseorts. And remember who eame? Juliet and a eolonial lady, the Spirit of Liberty and her right-hand man, LJnele Sam, phis the eos- tnmes of India, Holland, Mexieo, and South Ameriea, and nniforms of the United States Army. May the eighth saw the night of the Junior Prom — one of the most important danees of the year, if you want to view it sentimentally. And, of eonrse, the Senior Ball — the Grand Mareh, the last waltz, the midnight supper. Eaeh danee was better than the last, and it was only a beginning for the one to eome — till finally they were all o ' er, and all were an aeknowledged sneeess. Enterta i n m ent Music, Social Graces, and Celebrities . 21 . STUDENT TEACHERS LEARN PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES Learnins democracy by livins it is emphasized A JUNIOR’S FIRST glimpse into the pro¬ fessional world usually eomes from the eam- pus sehool where he hears and learns to understand sueh phrases as ' overview,” “good motivation,” and “speeifie aim.” Sehool is no longer a sueeession of “readin’, ’ritin’, and ’rithmetie” elasses, but a eurrieu- lum where aetual subjeet-matter eourses are organized and eorrelated with the ehild’s en¬ tire soeial surroundings. The future genera¬ tion no longer eomes to sehool to be taught only how to live tomorrow. He is living now, and modern sehoolroom proeedure gives him the opportunity to build his personality, to understand himself, to learn to think for him¬ self in any situation, and to be tolerant of those around him. The would-be teaeher perhaps partly under¬ stands that lessons varv and instruetors differ — that two people seldom teaeh alike; he begins to understand the power and the influ- enee of a teaeher’s personality, his philos¬ ophy, his speeial understanding of the sub- jeet, and the needs and individual differenees of his pupils. A fuller understanding eertainly eomes when the noviee stands quaking be¬ fore a group of ehildren teaehing his first lesson. Writing lesson plans that would fit in with the prineiple of eombining soeial en¬ vironment and sehool work, presenting the neeessary faets in logieal yet interesting fashion — these are no easy tasks. But nine weeks with pupils, training teaehers, and su¬ pervisors iron out most of the diffieulties. d lie main purpose of the Campus Sehool is to provide a training ground for the juniors. So the seniors, when they begin their seeond nine weeks’ period of praetiee, seatter them¬ selves in elementary sehools in Salisburv and in Prineess Anne. Here they again put into praetiee the methods and prineiples learned in elass. After mastering teehniques in some of the so-ealled “easier” subjeets, they tried their hands at eommittee-work in soeial studies. Here, among other points of interest, thev learned to test the ehildren’s abilitv to work together, to produee plays adapted from readings in literature, and to give tests to de¬ termine ehildren’s reasoning powers and work-study skills. Modern edueation in Ameriea has endeav¬ ored to foster the ideals and methods of a demoeraey. The war has foree d this into mueh greater prominenee todav. Into a eur- rieulum already steeped in the philosophy of a demoeratie state, and in the belief that all persons are of some individual worth, and that all minorities should be upheld and given eonsideration, has eome responsibili¬ ties whieh eannot be overlooked. More and more time and emphasis are being spent on teaehing the eauses, results, and effeets of war; on bolstering the morale of the Ameri- ean people; on maintaining phvsieal and mental well-being, and on promoting a gen¬ uine and well-founded loyaltv to the United States. Only through a thorough realization of the perplexities at hand ean the problems be understood, and only through edueation ean these problems be solved satisfaetorily. . 22 . At P ' niehurst or Wi Hi, at Princess Anne or in the Campus School, children and student teachers learn to solve life ' s problems. • 23 • OfssemUij (Procjmms an pte c e allecjicmce jy 11 IE Sl ' AGE of the college auditoriom may be the scene of artists and speakers of nation- ide repute, of singers and bands of local fame, or of a group of students with little experience, more talent, and an o ' er ’helm- ing ability to entertain. Eor the regular Tues¬ day morning assembly hour offers a program as varied as a theatre billboard of attractions. I’hese are the results of careful planning on the part of the committee composed of Jean¬ nette Rencher Inslev, Carroll Walsh, and tlicir able advisers, Mrs. IdaBelle Ml Thomas and Dr. Richard Current, plus the cooper¬ ation of classes and student organizations which sponsored most of the programs. A great deal of water will ha ' e passed under the well-known bridge before such events as the Dramatic Club presentation of ‘‘A Jour¬ ney to Trenton, the Junior Class portrayal of an old-fashioned and a modern school, retaliation by the seniors in the form of a mock faculty meeting, or music bv the “S. T. C. Melodians are forgotten. Then there was outstanding entertainment bv the col¬ ored quartet, and the Creenwood Band. To those people who attended only when publicity reached propaganda proportions, }Ou don’t know ' what von missed! Eor the programs this year, aided and abetted bv the instrumental music of Coach Maggs and the Band, and cle ' er posters designed by Carrie Carr, have been the best vet. . 24 . WINTER CHILLS ever A I.ri ' I’LE ' I ' OO EARLY to excuse this lethargic feeling bv calling it spring fever, we certainb’ slowed down anvwav. Not that there ’asn’t plenty happening. Glee Clnb and Chorus were warbling regularly for Miss Black in preparation for that all-important High School Seniors’ Day. Mrs. Bennett and the Sophanes Players gave plans a last- minute once-o er before beginning actual practice on their part of the Student Con¬ ference program. Phen on March 5, students as well as the elementary children for whom the program was intended, enjoyed the Clare Tree Majors Players’ presentation of “Toby Tyler” in the college auditorium. Two plays had been given previously — “Ldttle Women” and “Sleeping Beauty.” Tater, on March 17 to be exact, the last of the Cooperative Concerts was given. The Barrerre-Britt IVio, composed of flutist, cel¬ list, and pianist, entertained. We especially remember the fine ■ork of Miss Frances Blaisdell who played in the absence of M. Barrerre. Everyone w ' as taking a long look forward; to the Student Conference on March 21, and to April 1 and Easter holidays, the first vacation since Christmas! • 25 . 3ii( k Sckoo IS eniors Ofre Cynle laLne THE SEVENTH ANNUAL Student Con¬ ference ser ' ecl the dual purpose of acquaint¬ ing Maryland high school seniors with one of the finest colleges on the Shore (!) and of allowing all of us to display our special abilities to the aforementioned visitors and other interested observers. Eor those w ho braved the cold, rainy w eather and wore a few more pounds of rubber off Dad’s tires, the trip was well worth the effort. They saw , heard, and enjoyed a panel dis¬ cussion on “The College in the National Emergency” by the Baglean-Carnean Debate Societv, the athletic exhibition in the gym¬ nasium by men and w ' omen students, and music by the College Band. They were es¬ corted by students on tours through the building for demonstrations in art, science, chemistry, and psychology. Then they w ere conducted to the Social Room for ever- w elcome tea and cakes. After the banquet, at wTich Dr. May oflB- ciated as toastmaster, the College Chorus sang and the Sophanes Players presented the patriotic “Thus Be It Ever.” Then a dance w ' ith Lew ' Startt’s Orchestra added just the right finishing touches to the full program for the dav. j Undoubtedly one of the most anxiouslv- awaited events, as far as the college students are concerned, is the announcement of the Campus Leaders. Just preceding the confer¬ ence, the students selected, bv secret ballot, se ' en members of their group who most nearly exemplify S. T. C. ideals. And von can bet the list of qualifications for each of these honors is carefully studied and potential can¬ didates accepted or discarded many times before the final vote is cast. Titles of highest rank are those of Miss S. T. C. and Best All-Around Man. Eligible ones must have done something outstanding for the college and not only must they display qualities of leadership, possess a pleasing per¬ sonality and a fine character; but, also, be trustw ' orthy, cooperative, and physically fit. Virginia Rose Vincent and William New¬ comb ran off w ' ith these honors. Dorothy Siddons was selected to be the May Queen because she possessed “the very air of a queen in poise, dignity, charm, grace, and beauty of face and figure.” (Whew!) And she met all the other requirements by dressing appropriately and neatly at all times. I ler escort — lucky man! — must have a w ' ell- proportioned phvsique, a fine countenance, and an outstanding personalitv. James Kerr won this honor. Then there are our athletes — Bettv Carey and Ralph Kirby — the best woman and best man singled out for these special honors.

She had as her Maid of Honor, Jean Noek Riehardson, and as prineesses, Betty Carey, Jeannette Reneher Inslev, Virginia Rose Vineent, Augusta Heath, Genevieve Gibson, Adele Somers, and Dorothy Wanex. Gentlemen of the eourt were James Kerr, William Newcomb, Robert Potter, Joseph Colgain, Hugh Smith, Carroll Walsh, Richard W illiams, Thomas Hardv, and Thomas Flowers. The pageant began when the May Queen and her attendants entered the Green. After a simple vet lovelv processional, Queen Dor- othv was seated on her throne; the heralds, the flo ’cr girls, the crown bearer, and the train bearer — all from the College Ele¬ mentary School — took their places; and the court grouped itself around the dais. William Newcomb placed the crown on the queen’s head, and the festivities given in her honor began. A nnmbcr of gavlv clad girls performed a dance s mbohc of the coming of summer; and the Court Jester, Emilv Clinard, e.xe- cuted her antics designed to add a spirit of A Queen is crowned nonsense to the proceedings. Then the most colorful of all the ceremonies, the winding of the Mavpole, began. With the ending of the festi ' ities, the girls quietlv left the scene of the pageant, and the court retired. Feting the queen and her court does not end with the ceremonies on the campus. Imme¬ diately following, tea is served in the social room. Six o’clock finds guests, students and faciilh’ enjoying the dinner served in honor of the Campus headers, and bv nine o’clock the gvmnasium is gav with Mav dancers. . 28 .

Of little value in itself, it is s mbohe of the ideals of the State Teach¬ ers College. Behind it lies the work of a student who has not onh ' won a place on the honor roll, but who has broadened his life and his experiences through participation in cxtra-eurrieular activities. Seven students recei ed this honor this year. Fi ' e of the key winners were so honored for the first time — Doris Gross, Dorothv Sid¬ dons, Georgia Wdiite, Robert Potter, and Oscar Carev. To Jeannette Rencher Insley was gi ' en a kev with two rubies, representing three years of achie ’cmcnt. Augusta Heath dcser es the unprecedented record of being the third person and the first woman to re- cci ' e the kev for four consceuti ' e vears. I ler kev shows her honor bv being set with two rubies and a diamond. . 29 • [yarn SckotasUc [jLt onors Dorothy Siddons, Loraine Hall, Oscar Carey, Mildred Murphy DURING THE past year, four students liave eontiuLially been aeelaimed seholastie leaders of their respeetive elasses. One has the distinet honor of being the first student to be a seholastie winner for four eonseen- tive years. Dot Siddons, the girl from Prin- eess Anne with the friendly smile and stately charm, has rated high standing in eyery phase of college life. Small wonder, then, she has achieved such a position in her class. The junior honor student has repeated her standing as a sophomore. Loraine Hall, by quiet, unassuming industry, has come through another year a triumphant scholar. Not even the trials and tribulations of prac¬ tice teaching could stem her scholastic record. It’s a newcomer for the sophomores this year — one who has done herself “royal.” Mildred Murphy, athletic as well as schol¬ arly, has proyed herself an inv ' aluable mem¬ ber of her class and to the organizations in which she has taken part. The one yho has taken top honors in the freshman class is a well-rounded scholar gen¬ erally found in most extra-cnrricnlar actiyi- ties. Blond Oscar Carey has found a place for himself in Dramatic Club productions, Bag- lean-Carnean debates and forums, the Col¬ lege Chorus, and the College Band. . 30 .

If von think yon can write, the Publication Staff offers an outlet for your brainstorms.” The athletic minded needed no prodding to join the or¬ ganizations provided for them to show ' their prow ' ess in intramural or varsit ’ games. ONE OE TEIE most popular organizations among campus and communitv folk alike is the College Chorus. The Clee Clubs have entertained at meetings of the Parent- Teacher Association, the Rotary Club and other service organizations, at assemblies, banquets and dedications. • 32 . THE COLLEGE CHORUS ' J1ic climax of their current vear was reached at Christmas licn, amid tire strain of a u orld siiddenh’aflame, the Cliorns presented the first Choral Program of its kind at the college. Long, weary practices and exhausted bodies and patience were not e ’idcnt on the e ’cning of December 14, for the excitement preceding any major production erases an - such nnesthetic feelings. Into the andito- rinm, lighted only by the flickering glow of candles set along the balcoiw ' and stage, came the procession of white- ’csted worshippers holding tapers and chanting “O Come All Ye Faithful.” As the story of the Natiyity was unfolded by the narrator, songs old and new broke into the solemn stillness. d’his ear the Chorus has added a new note to its repertoire. Do on remember the spark¬ ling rln thin of “Spanish Cardens” as Donna IIo t and Carmel Whlson performed the tango, or the fascinating story of “4’he 4 ' oy Pown Admiral” as Dot Reed tapped out the danee? The Men’s Chorus and the Clee Chib nsn- alh ' appear together, lire Senior 4’rio — Ellen Taylor, Doris MeVe ’, and Augusta Heath sang on some oceasions.

Too inanv brasses to be an orehestra, tlie presenee of a fe ' stringed instruments keeping it from being a true band, both musie and a fitting name are hard to find for this group. Despite tlie teehnieal diffieulties, the group has added just the right note (or notes) to weekly assemblies, Student Conferenee meetings, or speeial oeeasions featured in the audito¬ rium. The eompositions and arrangements of elassie masters and modern maestros are equally familiar to its members. One reason for extra-extra progress of the musieians this year is that they had a real plaee in the eollege for rehearsals. The old Visual Edueation elassroom beeame their speeial property. Rugs on the floor, and walls provided for the proper aeousties, and a piano and musie raeks of their own added to the feeling of general satisfaetion. It has been quite an important year for this organization, but no doubt it reaehed its peak of aehievement at the Eligh Sehool Sen¬ iors’ Day, when it provided a eoneert for the visitors. This group, we believe, ean plav for any oeeasion or ereate anv mood. They have even been know ' u to go from the “Coneerto in E flat minor” bv Tsehaikowsky to the stir¬ ring “Marine’s Hymn.” Row 1 (Left to Right) — Benn Maggs (director), Pitts, Toadvine, Williams, Chatham, E, Gross Row 2 — Carey, Reaves, Hampshire, H.

THE SOPHANES PLAYERS I’lIE SOPHANES PLAYERS present eaeh ear a series of pla s for their own benefit and a major prodnetion for tlie edifieation of the general piiblie. A dramatie organization with a goodly number of alnmni and prodnetions in past history, it has added to its reeord a patriotie play written by the ad iser, Mrs. Whlliam Howard Bennett, and prodneed by the elub. “Yhns Be It Eyer” was ghen on Mareh 21, High Sehool Seniors’ Day. Its reminder of the past and message for the fu¬ ture is one that y’ill be long remembered. Almost eyer ' member of the ero ’ded or¬ ganization found some part, however small, in the prodnetion. No little thanks for its sneeess belong to the ne ■ stage and lighting erews, for underlining the entire perform- anee was their skillful management of teeh- nieal problems and diflBenlties. A seeond patriotie note was strnek in their annual danee where the theme “Banners of Freedom” was earried out in deeorations, programs, and eostumes. Heartily reeeiyed by students and faenlty alike was the one-aet play “The Journey to Trenton” by Thornton Wilder. It heralded the elnb’s first experiment in presenting a pla - with no seenery. Whll on e er forget Dot Wanex and Bill Adair as the irrepressi¬ ble ehildren of Georgia White and Ralph Pennewell? The seeond assembly program eonsisted of monologues by Catherine Bloodsworth and Margaret E ' ans. dlie offieers of the dramatie elub, Donna Hoyt, Carroll W’alsh, Georgia Mhte, and Norma Lee fime, under the gnidanee of Mrs. Bennett, have eontinned to keep to those high standards of good prodnetion set by the Sophanes Players. • 35 • THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION REALIZING, AS DID the early Greeks and Romans, the importanee of athleties in form¬ ing bodily strength, eharaeter, and sports¬ manship, onr sehool has attempted to pro¬ vide sueh a ' arietv of sports throughout the year that eaeh and every member may find an aetive plaee for himself in at least one of them. Whth this in mind, the Men ' s and WGmen ' s Athletie Assoeiations have pre¬ sented a varied program of seasonal sports. The Men’s Athletie Assoeiation has had a sneeessfnl season despite the many ehanges made in the presidenev of this organization. Faeed with the problem of both president Jaek Gustis and viee-president Elwood Day leaving sehool, James Pike was seleeted to Left to Right — Bloodsworth, Thompson, H. Smith, Moore, Williams, Jones, Reaves, Newcomb, Ryle, Woolston, Kirby, Nelson, Coach Maggs, Fatzer, Custis. fill the major offiee. During the sehool year the Assoeiation has sponsored soeeer, basket¬ ball, softball, and other minor sports, and was able, through donations from the stu¬ dents, to furnish new suits for the basketball team. In the fall it was soeeer that eaptnred sehool interest. With the return of eight former players: Neweomb, Kirby, Williams, Jones, Ryle, Fatzer, Nelson, and Gustis, and the addition of Bloodsworth, Thompson, Moore, Reaves, and Woolston, Goaeh Maggs had a good starting point for the 1941-42 line-up. The team made its first appearanee on the field on Flomeeoming Day. The return of former stars apparently had little effeet on the home morale, for the “grads” went down under a seore of 4-0. After that, it seemed the squad was in for a season of tie-deeisions. At Greensboro, and again at Towson, the seores were even. The elose of the soeeer season show ' ed, of the five games played, one vic- tory, two ties, and two defeats — at the hands of West Ghester and Frostburg. When ehillv winter days rolled around, the students “turned out” for basketball. The sehedule, foreed to end before the regular elose of the season “for the duration,” fea¬ tured games with Goldev, Beaeom, and Tow- son, and loeal teams. The first game with Towson ' as a major vietory for the bovs; it was the first time in the history of men’s athleties at S. T. G. that our oldest rixal has been defeated in basketball. Under the ever- . 36 • atclifiil eve of “Coaeh,” the team plaved a long season uitli tougli eompetition all the way. A junior ’arsity squad was also organized and pla ed with loeal teams. Adair, Clark, Groton, 11. Smith, Potter, and Wdiite were outstanding players. Of major interest to the eommnnitv was the annual athletie demonstration, eondneted on a non-eompetitive basis, and partieipated in bv men and women students alike. With the eoming of spring, softball took the lead in sports, ’ith games sehednled with soldiers from nearby eamps and with town teams. Of inereasing importanee are the in¬ tramural games — in softball and in all other sports, for the emergenev has brought intra¬ mural sports to the foreground. Outstanding at all the home games were the eheerleaders, Margaret Kelley, Emily Clin- ard, Dorothy Wanex, Tom Flowers, and Robert Potter. Women’s athleties have this year stressed j hoekev and badminton, with basketball, soft- ball, and vollev ball taking a minor plaee. Intramural games w ere featured in most of the sports, and one basketball game was plaved with the East New Market team. Offieers Phyllis Hahn, Olie Ilorsman, Dor¬ othy WAnex, and Jean IVa vers, with ad iser Miss Helen Jamart, have tried to sponsor sports in ’hieh e ' er ' ■oman student may find a plaee, rather than to present an inten¬ sified program for State- ’ide emulation. d ' ogether, the assoeiations sponsored the animal A. A. danee — one of the highlights on the soeial ealendar. VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD — Seated — Kirby, Adair, Reaves Standing — Kerr, Atkinson, Newcomb, E.

THE BAGLEAN-CARNEAN SOCIETY At the Broadcasting Station OUR BEST PROTECTION against en¬ emy propaganda is to arm the minds of young Ameriea, to give them an understand¬ ing of what the ' are defending, to gi ' e them full understanding of the eomplieated orld situation. Then, in this sense the Baglean- Carnean Debate Soeietv is one of the most important organizations on onr eollege eam- pus today. This soeietv and its able offieers, Hugh Smith, president; Robert Potter, viee-presi- dent; Emily Clinard, debate manager, and George Reaves, treasurer, has aeeomplished its year’s undertakings. It is the debating soeietv’s privilege to debate or diseuss eurrent problems. It is not their purpose to win eonverts, but rather to pre¬ sent faets and arguments on eaeh side and to make for open-mindedness. d’he debate question for the year ’as Re¬ solved: That the Eederal Go ' ernment should regulate by law all labor unions in the United States. Sehedules for debates were seenred with Washington College, West Chester College, the University of Dela- are, the Universitv of Marvland, and West- ern Maryland College. Every other week, during the sehool year, six or eight members have partieipated in forum broadeasts from the studios of Station W B O C. Dr. Riehard N. Current, adviser, led these diseussions on topies of proposed legislation, of eapital-labor relations, of edu- eation, et eetera. Some of the more aetive members who par¬ tieipated in the debates and radio forums ’ere: Emily Clinard, Robert Potter, Betty Noek, Bob Clark, Wayne Cawlev, Georgia Mdiite, Jimmv Thompson, Jean Noek, Erank Mittleman, Edgar Rvle, George Jones, Hugh Smith, Osear Carev, George Reaves, and Naney Spies. . 38 . THE STUDENT COUNCIL is to furnish means through w hich and by which both faculty and students may cooperate in all curricular and extra-curricular activities of this school ORGANIZED in 1925, the Student Coun- eil has eonsistentlv made ad ' anees in earrv- ing out its ehief reason for existenee — that of promoting harmonious relationships be- t ’een faenltv and students. As soon as the busy da ’S of registration and eurrienlum-making were over, the Couneil and its ofheers, William Neweomb, presi¬ dent, and Mary Lee Moore, seeretarv, super¬ vised eleetion of elass ofheers. From that time on, the Student Conneil was kept busy eonsidering and offering solutions for the questions that eonstantlv arose. Sueh diverse problems as defining regulations for the eonduet of students in the library and eondueting the eleetion of Campus Leaders eame under their jnrisdietion. This year this mother organization sponsored the purehase of a sound mirror for the musie and pnblie speaking department, and set up a “enshion fund” to insure finaneial assist- anee to any faltering student organization. They ehanged rules for the eleetion of the presidents of organizations. The aeeelerated program of the eollege made these ehanges imperative — at least for the duration. Couneil and Christian Assoeiation members together sponsored the High Sehool Seniors’ Day, and ’orked with Dr. John B. Mav and Miss Ruth Powell in making this program an eventful one. Through jndieious and fair ruling the Stu¬ dent Conneil has won the ’holehearted sup¬ port of students and faenltv in promoting general welfare.

Matthews, Heath, Kemp, Potter Row 2 — Mrs. Cooper, Pranis, Libis, White, Newcomb, Carey THIS IS THE PAGE where you, gentle reader, are usuallv invited to see and hear about the people who produee one yearbook and an indeterminate number of magazines annuallv. No attempt will be made to stray from the beaten path. Carrying on the privilege of breaking tradi¬ tions in produeing these evidenees of jour- nalistie tendeneies begun last year, the eur- rent staff has promoted a hitherto untried s ’stem of eo-editorslrip wherebv responsi- bilitv for produeing The Holly Leaf and The Evergreen was di ’ided. This resulted, we believe, in eaeh one of the appointed editors being able to giw more time to his partieular duty and, ' e hope, in produeing better pub- lieations. Firmly eonvineed that there is power in the written word, that there is ereation and pleas¬ ure in writing, the Publieations Staff has endeavored to offer to the students through The Evergreen a treasury of eampus life that will be eherished through the years. The Holly Leaf serves as an outlet for student opinion, eollege events, and literary efforts. Its faithful reeording of important aetivi- ties of students and faeultv have maintained standards of a high eollege level. Progres- si ' e in poliev, ' et eonserxatiw in writing and make-up. The Holly Leaf has eombined news, editorials, literature, and humor to make a magazine that has been ’ell orth the time and effort spent. . 40 . I THE EVERGREEN IX)RMAL MEEllXGS, if bv anv stretch of the imagination thev could be called “formal,” crc held h icc a month. Here each reporter was imited to speak on his particular problem and urged to get that ar¬ ticle in on time. Sometimes argnments arose and •ere thrashed out, and amicabh ' settled. Anvwav, c ' crvone had a good time, and did a heap of planning. d ' he yearbook, bv its erv nature, is of a broader, more ' aried type of ’ork. Writing ranges from interpreting the philosophy of the elementary school cnrricnlnm to describ¬ ing the last riotous basketball game for the duration. The 1942 Evergreen is not in¬ tended to be entirely original; the editor has tried to combine the traditional organization of older styles v ’ith the free and easy writing of the book produced last year. 4 ' he staff has attempted to reproduce campus actixitv trnthfnlh’ and faithfully, and in so doing, has been guided, perhaps nnwillingly, by that state of uncertainty, of unsettled conditions, of fluid changes that has permeated onr every thought and action. ' The backbone of e ' ery publication is its business staff, for its success or failure is di¬ rectly dependent on its source and amount of rc ’enne. Theirs is the work of keeping financial records, of soliciting ads and follow¬ ing np with reminders, of making advertising layouts, and doing other less pleasant jobs. E ' ery member has cooperated to the fnllest extent in prodneing these pnblieations for onr college. Left to Right — Flowers, Harcum, Collison, Atkinson, Dr. John B.

E ervone kno s the need of ha ’ing a plaee to eall home in a new eiwiron- ment. h or this reason the Home Assoeiation was ereated: to provide a real home for dor¬ mitory girls during their stav at eollege. The members of the assoeiation have ’orked as a unit to promote good-will and happiness among the students. This is one organization whieh, ’ith its offieers, Gene ’ieve Gibson, Emma Todd, Mary Eee Rnark, and Margaret Harrow, and ad iser. Miss Ruth Po ' ell, seems always bnsv, this probablv explaining both happines s and the full purse. Selling eandy and iee-eream at noon hour or at home games, or ser ’ing as hostesses to eommimitv members at meetings and banquets sends a steady stream of needed eash into the treas¬ ury. Then there are a great manv ser ' iees rendered for the mutual benefit of all the students, sneh as buying the latest reeordings for the “juke box,” ser ' ing teas during exam¬ ination week, paeking Ghristmas boxes for need ' ehildren of Wheomieo Gonntv. And those Sunday e enings when students just gather round popping eorn, toasting marsh¬ mallows, or making eandv are ones long en¬ joyed and remembered. GORRESPOXDING dX) the Home Asso¬ eiation and ser ing the same purpose for eommnters at the eollege is the lixe-wire society of ’omcn da ' students. Headed bv Dorothv Siddons, Virginia Gardner, and Norma Mczick, and adx ' iscd bv Miss Hen¬ rietta S. Purnell, the association has had a bnsv year. Substituting cots for the no • prac¬ tically defunct sofas, hanging pictures and mirrors, finding a new place for extra desks and chairs aids (sometimes!) the general ap¬ pearance. Here in these rooms (on the floor, nsnallv) women students practice artificial respiration and folk dances, locate pressure points on the human anatomy and the capital of Australia on any a ' ailable map, eat lunch, study today’s lessons and cram for tomor¬ row’s tests. Gooperating with the tloine As¬ sociation, women students sponsored the annual Hallowe’en party and aided in mak¬ ing the 1941 Gandlelight Ser ' ice a success. And DON’4’ FORGET THE MEN! Formed to provide and supervise recreation for the male clement at the college and to unite them into a strong, working organiza¬ tion, the Men’s Association has carried out its duty of acting as arbitrator or “good-will” chib. Vice-President Tom Flowers assumed the duties of president aft er Ben Nelson withdrew during the second semester, and the men have accomplished their aims. Recreation for the men has been ’cll pro¬ vided; recreation equipment has been well cared for (we hope); and an additional news¬ paper was provided for the college b ’ this active group. • 43 • THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Students assemble for vespers “AND THOUGH I have the gift of proph- eey and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I ha ' e all faith, so that I eould remove all mountains and have not love, I am nothing.” Through its aeth i- ties the Christian Assoeiation has hoped to establish this doctrine of theologieal love in the minds of everv student. The members of this association sponsor and preside oxer the Vesper Hour held in the Soeial Room ex ' ery Sundav evening at six o’eloek. Some of the speakers at vespers, other than students, haxe ineluded men and xx’omen in the fields of ministrv, teaching, music, business, and art. ' Ihrough informal discussions in its monthh meetings, problems of students arc given a religions interpretation. Another series of suc¬ cessful discussions was the stuch ' of the Four Gospels during the Lenten Season. The assemblv program sponsored bv the Christian Association featured a man who vxas afterwards acclaimed one of the best speakers ever to have talked at S. T. C. He was Dr. Harry Denman, of Nashville, Tenn. Through the efforts of committee members, xxe were also able to enjov the speeches of Elder Alsop and Elder Jones, Mormon lead¬ ers x’ho trax ' el about the countrv telling the people about their religion. Bv the xxork of the efficient officers, Thomas Flowers, president; Georgia White, vice- president; Phx’llis Scese, seeretarx ' , and Miss Ruth Powell, adx’iser, the Christian Associa¬ tion has finished one of the most actix’e pro¬ grams in its historv. . 44 • AFI’MR COLl.KGE DAYS are o cr, the ex-eollegiate looks baek on them as four of tlie happiest years of liis life. As a freshman he eame eager for more know’ledge or train¬ ing or, perhaps, to fill in time to wait for something else to happen. I1ie sophomore enjoyed his new-fonnd privileges as an npper- elassman for a few weeks, and then settled down to the “tenor of college days.” Juniors began to a aken when they were suddenly thrown into a new situation, that of being a teacher in addition to being jnst a student in classes. llowc er, it is the senior ho gets the most out of his college life; he finishes toda ’s work with a nail and a forward look to aftcr-gradnation. No student is radically different from any other, in either social life or beha ' ior, but the chance grouping of individuals of simi¬ lar years and experiences into classes forms a bond between each and c ' er ' member. It is the class that holds together these people long after dramatic, music, or debating clubs ha ’C been forgotten. The nnmerals on a sweater or the inscription on a ring hold meaning and memories long after school days are o ’cr — memories that no other or¬ ganization can hope to recall. No little part of this feeling is wrapped np in memories of those who taught him. For four years he h cd •ith his professors, learned their moods, their likes and dislikes — some perhaps better than they know themsches. I le learned to listen to their opinions and c alnate them — and nsnally find them good. d’his was a period of eontemplation, a time •hcn we listened to theories and put them into practice, a preparation for the future by living today.

Other freshmen pro ed themselves athletie- allv-niinded, and “Coaeh’s’ ' team gained a few new stars. Douglas Bloodsworth was a member of the soeeer squad, and Harrv Gro¬ ton, Donald Da ’, Bill Smith, Diek Malone, George Rea ' es were basketball “topnoteh- ers.” Organizations, partienlarlv the debate societv, the draniatie eliib, and the eollege band felt the influenee of “new’ blood.” Among pnrelv soeial fnnetions sponsored bv the Class of ’45 was the erv siieeessful freshman formal, held Eridav, Deeember 5. . 46 • SOPHOMORES ' I ' l LVr lALICIOUS Gl.EAM, that diabol¬ ical glint destined to freeze anv timid fresh¬ man in his tracks, ushered in a new college year for the sophomore, d o the time of wooden paddles and air-raid whistles, they set about to make this first two weeks livelv ones for the new class. But the feeling soon wore out, rat rules passed, and the faculty heaved a sigh of relief, as conditions returned to normal, and the members of the Class of ’44 set out to make a new name for them- sehes. Led by elass president Robert Potter, iee-president Hugh Smith, seeretary Edna Sehmiek, and treasurer Jimmy Thompson, and under the guidanee of Dr. Riehard N.

Yhere was a time w’hen it was feared the only fi T men in the class were going to desert their Alma Mater for Uncle Sam, but they were persuaded to stay to pursue their “book Icarnin’ ” for the rest of the ■ear. B ' this time the bomb-sliell news broke to the effect that juniors would lca ' e school a ear early. Many will be scattered o ' er the State to re- j he ' e the acute shortage of teachers caused by the emergency. How’e Tr, there are always restrictions; this time it’s summer school. But remembering dreams of music on the down-beat, geography on the spin, English in its specific form, ent-nps in art, physical breakdowns in ph ' sical education, and treat¬ ment in first aid classes, and last but first, practice teaching — these things will beckon them back another year. Led by oEcers Tom Hardy, Irene Parks, Ph lhs Ilahn, and Ralph Kirby, under the guidance of Mrs. Whlliam Howard Bennett, the Class of ’43 has become a unique one. . 48 . SENIORS THE APPROACH of Commencement Day, 1942, brings a feeling of mixed emotions in the heart of every senior. It is a combination of memories of humorous and of serious events, of satisfaction in achiev- ing four years of hard worl{ — perhaps of regret that all those intentions made way bacl in September, 1928, were not completely ful¬ filled. But most overwhelming of all is the realization that one phase of our lives is fin¬ ished and another lies immediately ahead. If, from this multiplicity of experiences, each has gained a high standard of values, an open and exploring mind, a modest self-confidence in personal, scholastic, and professional achieve¬ ment, a broader outlook on life, a sympathetic understanding of human worth, and a true desire to really live and learn, we will dare to face the future with courage and hope. Let us pray that we will be able to take our part whole¬ heartedly and bravely in the present struggle, and in the reconstruction period. Let us ear¬ nestly hope that these lessons of tolerance and of faith learned in the peaceful sheltered years just passed will not have been learned in vain. • 49 • JAMES RUFF KERR Whiteford, Maryland Blond, angular, gesticulating with his hands, seldom in a hurry — this describes Jim to a “T”. Despite his seeming slowness he has been quite active in his college life, for he w ' as chosen vice- president of the junior class, manager of the varsity basketball squad, and president of the senior class. Jim’s popularity with both men and coeds was proved when he was elected May Queen’s escort for 1942. ALBERT ATKINSON Cambridge, Maryland There’s a group of girls falking together! By themselves? No, indeed; they need a chaperon and A1 is just the one for the job. Besides all this, and study too, he has played on the basketball team, serr ed as business manager of the publications staff, as vice- president of fhe senior class, and has been active in dramatics. CARRIE ELIZABETH CARR Uelmar, Maryland No one realized when Carrie came in as a timid and inconspicu¬ ous freshman that she would become the outstanding artist and a popular member of the class. Her infinite patience with the assembly committee in drawing countless posters, her efficiency in carrying on the correspondence of a busy senior class, and her willingness to help a worried student hunt for a mislaid book in the library show but a small part of Carrie’s versatility. I . 50 . DOROTHY MAE SIDDONS Princess Anne, Alaryland “Ah!” — this time from the male element — greets the girl with the charming smile and ciniable poise that made her May Queen in 1942. Besides being the hard-working president of the Day Students, and active in Glee Club, Christian Association, debates and dramatics, she has also achieved the highest scholastic standing in her class for four years. IRMA WOOTTEN AYDELOTTE Delmar, Aiaryland Irma is one of those quiet, studious girls who, you might think, spends all her time perusing little-known books in the library. However, this is only a part, and a small one, of her busy life. . rriving at school at almost the crack of dawn, she does her good deed for the dav by cleaning up the Day Students’ room. Then she’s off to classes, organization meetings, or just “dropping down to the library for just a minute.” MARIE ESTHER BOUNDS East New Alarket, Aiaryland “Today’s work is done; let tomorrow take care of itself” is Marie’s philosophy, for she is always ready to take part in whatev er is going on. She won the achievement key as a freshman, and for four years has been an outstanding member of the Glee Club, the . thlctic . ssociatiou, and the Sophancs Players. • 51 • MARY RUTH BRANDON Stockton, Maryland Music was always Ruth’s first thought, whether it be playing the piano, singing, or even directing. Realizing, however, that life is not just a song, she has been a member of the Athletic Club, Sophanes Players, and a very active element in the Day Students’ room. If you want a logical answer to some question, just ask Ruth — she’s all for practicality. EMILY MITCHELL DRYDEN Snotv Hill, Maryland Sweet and unassuming, and always with a winning smile, Emily has done her part in college life. She has been secretary of the Christian Association, and member of the Clee Club. Her true depth of personality is seen in her love of music and in her role as a kindly, understanding teacher of primary children. LRANCES ELIZABETH DURHAM Millington, Maryland Industrious, and really friendly, Franny is alv ays ready with a sandwich or bun for a hungry Day Student. On the hockey field, in the Christian Association or Sophanes Players, she has been one of the steady and substantial workers without whom no or¬ ganization can exist. During her four years in college she has shown her quiet power to both faculty and classmates. • 52 . MARTHA GENEVIEVE GIBSON Rising Sun, Maryland Gracious, dependable, and eooperative, Jenny lias taken onr in¬ terests, onr wants, and onr comforts to heart. Anyone in dire need of assistance nsnally runs her way. President of the Home Asso¬ ciation, and a capable member of the Sophanes Players, the Ath¬ letic ' Association, and the now non-existing Grange, she has done her part in college activities. DORIS ELORENCE GROSS Jarrettsvilie, Maryland Doris probably knows all the “ropes ' ” of college life better than most of ns, because for the first two years she lived in the “dorm” and has since been an actise Day Student. She especially showed her talent in Glee Club and Orchestra, working all four years at each. Since she got to school early and stayed late, she found time also to be in the Athletic . ssociation and Baglcan-Carnean De¬ bating Club. As a senior she was president of the College Band. ELIZABETH AUGUSTA HEATH Kanticoke, Maryland If yon hear a whiz and see an image streak by, you’ll know it’s Gnssie, for she is about the busiest member of the elass. One would ha ' e to flash b - to win a place on the honor roll and rate an achiesement key for four consecutive ears, to work in the Sophanes Players, the Christian . ssociation, the Glee Chib, the College ' I’rio, and to be coeditor of the Publications Staff. . chievcmcnt has surely been her “key” to success. • 53 • MARGARET ALICE HORNBERGER PerryviUe, Maryland Quick little steps hurrying up the stairs tell us “Maggie” is coming up with the latest news. e don’t know what we’d have done without her to do things for us, or find out what we’d like to know. Besides being an active member of the class, Margaret has played a busy part in the Baglean-Carnean Society, Christian Association, and Sophanes Players. OLIE HORSMAN Benedict, Maryland Olie has added zest and gaiety to “dorm” life and college activi¬ ties. Especially prominent on the athletic gronnds, she is the star athlete of the class, not only in gymnastics, but in organizing and managing the varsity basketball squad, hockey team, field ball and volley ball teams. She also tw ' ice represented our class on the Student Council. JEANNETTE RENCHER INSLEY Salisbury, Maryland Steady, efficient work has won for Jeannette important positions in the Clee Club, the Athletic Association, the . ssembly Com¬ mittee, and the Publications Staff. . n honor roll member and achievement key winner, she should ha e the gratihing feeling that comes from work well done. During her senior year she was judged “Most Literary” in the Campus Leaders contest. . 54 . MILDRED RAE JOHNSON Cr is field, Maryland Mildred, full of charming smiles and nonsensical remarks that make all of us chuckle, definitely won a warm spot in all our memories. ' I ' hough she joined our class in the junior year after completing the first two years at St. Mary’s Seminary, she has been an active participant in all college activities. “Mil” has pro ed her capability of management in the school store as well as with the children in the elementar ’ school. JULIA RUTH JONES Salisbury, Maryland Into the Day Students’ room breezes Judy in her cheerful, so¬ phisticated manner. This usually happens about eight o’clock every morning. Disarming frankness and independence coupled with cooperation are her striking characteristics. She has been secretary of the Sophanes Players, and member of the Athletic .Association and the Baglean-Carnean Society. VIRGINIA KUENZLE Elkton, Maryland Smallest in size, but large in accomplishment; independent in thought and action, but coopcrati c in group thought and under¬ taking — such is our seemingly paradoxical “Jinny.” These char¬ acteristics she has shown in her work in the Sophanes Players, the Christian .Association, and the Publications Staff. She has been one we just “couldn’t do without.” • 55 • AGNES ROBEY MARTIN Pisgah, Maryland Agnes is to be envied, for she’s the only one of our class with a real southern accent. She hasn’t been a lazv southerner, though, for her name has usually been found on the honor roll and in the registers of the Christian Association and the Sophanes Players. W’e mustn’t forget that she has also been one of the “sociable songbirds” of the Glee Club. DORIS REYNOLDS MeVEY Rising Sun, Maryland One ne er went into the Day Students’ room without seeing Doris in the middle of a group of girls trying to think up excuses for not going to the library or for some work that just had to be done. She must have done her work, though, when the rest weren’t looking, for she has done well in class and her name has been on the honor roll. She was an acti e member of the Christian Association, Athletic Association, and as a senior, was vice-president of the College Chorus. WILLIAM DENNIS NEWCOMB Cambridge, Maryland “Swive’s” popularity and his infections grin won for him the justly deserved title of “Best All Around Man.” His name was .seen on the honor roll many times and twice in “Wdio’s W ho . mong Students.” Aside from this, he has been a star athlete, an active member of the dramatic club, sports editor of the staff, and as a senior, president of the Student Council. . 56 . PHYLLIS MADELEINE SEESE Den ton, Maryland “I’liil,” the quick and witty in all her collegiate work, is naturallv a sober of many of our problems. She has been a dependable alto in the Glee Club for two years and a congenial member of Chris¬ tian and Athletic Associations and Sophanes Players. Ever will we remember her sparkling eyes and pleasant smile. If one wanted a fa or — even to a ride on the elevator, just ask “Phil.” ELLEN JANE TAYLOR Bivalve, Maryland .Mways gracious and dignified, Ellen is a friend of everyone. H.iv- ing done her work quietly and efficiently, both in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities, she has made herself rather indispensable to us in the Day Students’ room and as president of the College Chorus. Her hobby is music, whether it is singing, conducting, playing, or teaching, for hidden charms come out in any of them. BEATRICE EMMA TODD Preston, Maryland W hen there’s an extra task, or a few “finishing touches” called for, “Bea” is always willing to cooperate. Taking part in a Sophanes Players’ production, playing a good halfback defense on the hockey team, or giving talks in Christian .Association meetings, fun-loving “Bea” has proved her ability to make us forget our troubles and get things done. • 57 . VIRGINIA ROSE VINCENT Salisbury, Maryland A typical coed is the other “Ginny” of our class, for her friendly personality, her versatility, and her keen interest in the things around her have easily won for her the highest campus honor — that of Miss S. T. C. Member of the S’ophanes Players, the Ath¬ letic Association, and the Publications Staff, tre;isurer of the class as a freshman and secretary as a junior, her most outstanding work has been done as editor of The Evergreen. CARROLL WALSH Tilghman, Maryland “Turk” has become a staunch friend of all at S. T. C. by his dignity, calm assurance, and, shall we say, “savoir-faire”? His in¬ nate executive ability has been proved by his numerous activities in the Sophanes Players both as an actor and as an organizer. He was president of the sophomore class, a member of the Student Council, and co-chairman of the Assembly Committee. JOSEPHINE TAYLOR WILLIAMS Salisbury, Maryland “Josie” entered our class a semester late in the freshman year, but she didn’t waste time in “catching up” in either class work, or¬ ganization activities, or social life. Josephine joined the Sophanes Players, the Baglean-Carnean Society, and, because she was in¬ terested in the finer points of writing, the Publications Staff. . 58 . • • • STATE SUPERINTENDENT OE SCHOOLS, 1920 - 1942 DR. ALBERT S. COOK As State and County Superintendent of Sehools, Dr. Cook demonstrated nnnsnal adminis- trati e ability, unlimited enthusiasm and broad ision. lie possessed these eharaeteristies to a degree that on him national reeognition. He resigned, efFeeti ’e Mareh 1, 1942, after more than forh ' years of effieient ser ’iee to the Maryland Sehool System. The portrait herein reprodneed was presented b - members of the State Department of Ed- neation, the presidents of teaehers eolleges, the eonnty superintendents, and the snperx isors of sehools to the State Board of Edneation. • 59 • STATE SUPERINTENDENT OE SCHOOLS DR. THOMAS G. PULLEN, JR. Dr. Pullen became State Superintendent of Schools for Maryland, effective March 1, 1942. Because of his broad experience as high school principal, county superintendent of schools, and Assistant State Superintendent in charge of administration in Maryland, and because of his splendid training. Dr. Pullen is ell fitted for his present position. . 60 . PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE DR. J. D. BLACKWELL Supcn ising the planning and ’orking out of ' ' an accelerated enrricnlnin” in harinonv with demands created in the national einergcnc ' has occupied additional hours, ves, days, of Pres¬ ident Black cirs already crowded program. In fact, he has done nmeh of the detailed work on this program so ' ital to the defense of onr cherished way of life. Of Dr. Blaeku-ell it may al ■ays be said, lie is ne ’er too busy to do more for the welfare of the youth of onr land.” I Ic learned the teclmiqncs required of Air-Raid Wardens and was Chief Wkirdcn for onr college. . 61 . DIRECTOR OF TRAINING DR. T. J. CARUTHERS Schedules and our Director of Training, Dr. Caruthers, seemed to be practically synony¬ mous this year. Eyery moment of his ' ' spare time” (wheneyer that is) was consumed with knotty problems of making and reyising sehedules — new ones and additional ones made im¬ perative by the aeeelerated eurrieulum. Standards of fine eollege work, the right proportions of semester hours for eaeh eollege class and section of that class and for each faculty mem¬ ber must be safeguarded. Surely, that eomplieated task should be elassified as a defense industry in the college eategory. . 62 . SOCIAL DIRECTOR MISS RUTH F. C. POWELL To “M iss Ruth’s” ever-present problems of nutrition were added the inereasing eosts of food supplies. Mowe er, trust her, ex en with the uot-inereasing budget, to see that eaeh and every one had aeeess to the proper amount and ' ariet - of vitamins for health and appetite needs. Whth all her busv round of duties our soeial direetor also found time to knit manv and ’ari- ous artieles, to help others to do the same, and to teaeh a Canteen Course for the Red Cross. . 63 • MRS. WILLIAM HOWARD BENNETT Instructor in Literature and Speech Our instructor in literature and speech carried her inspirational powers bevond class actirities. Directly and indirectly through a freshman letterwriting activity to S. T. C. men in service, Mrs. Bennett cheered many now with the Navy, Army or the Air Corps. She served as a member of the Student Morale Committee and played no small part in the work of that group. The high¬ light of her work, however, was the patriotic production, ‘T’hus Be It E er,” which the Sophanes Players presented on All High School Senior Night. MISS MARGARET BLACK Instructor in Music Most of us agree that there is a special need during the duration” to help groups sing together joyfully. This Miss Black did not onh- in her Glee Club and Chorus work with all students, but wherever groups were banded together and she chanced to be with us. She took an actire part in community war work. Espe¬ cially did she aid in the establishment of the Mhcomico County Service Men’s Center. MRS. ANNA JONES COOPER Assistant Librarian In addition to her regular duties in the college and Campus Ele¬ mentary School libraries, Mrs. Cooper spent hours each week in the school store, ordering supplies and selling them, also. Keeping the store supplied with War Stamps (and selling many of them) was her particular pride and joy as one means of serving U. S. A. She also made time to learn how to be an efficient “Eirst Aider.” . 64 • DR. RICHARD N. CURRENT Instructor in Economics, History, and Sociology liat an opportunity onr instructor of the social sciences had to he of real ser ice to us college folk! Problems inxolved in history, economics, and sociology were sharpened — they were vital — after Pearl Harbor and subsequent horrors. He guided the Baglean- Carnean Debate Society to prepare for panel or forum discussions • on numerous topics concerning the college, the national emer¬ gency, and civilian morale. Perhaps you heard some of the talks over W B () C or at the college. MISS LUCY B. GARDNER Registrar We happen to know that our registrar has had to spend many extra hours on college problems afising because of the war. I’ime neces¬ sarily has been spent on: keeping posted on rulings concerning priorities, as questions arose concerning supplies and orders; ar¬ ranging to shift records for safety as a precautionary’ measure; and preparing transcripts for students and former students who sent records to the Armv, the Navy, or the Air P ' orce authorities..The accelerated schedule, including our summer session, will demand even more of her time — time she willingly gives. MRS. MARGARET HOPKINS Secretary to the President Secretaries are always busy folk, but it seems to us that Mrs. Hop¬ kins can turn out more work per hour than the average busy per¬ son in that work. Perhaps you observed the extra stacks of typed or mimeographed materials made necessary by the accelerated schedule and the classes pertaining to war work. W’e learned, too, that Mrs. Hopkins took an active part in war-work plans sponsored by the Junior Woman’s Club as a part of her responsibility to the community. • 65 • MR. PAUL HYDE Training Teacher — Grade 7 Learning to be an Air-Raid Warden was one of the extra activi¬ ties created by the war in whieh Mr. Hyde engaged. The student teaehers and the seventh graders in his room became more keenly aware of the problems of our national emergency. Discussions of such topics as “Priorities,” “Strategie War Materials,” or “Prob¬ lems of Rationing” were in evidence. Bulletin boards with such captions as “Symbols of Democracy” or “Headquarters for De¬ fense” gave visual aid to the urgent problems being studied. Then, too, the seventh graders learned to be “Junior P’irst . iders.” MISS GLADYS LEWIS Assistant Librarian Quietly and quickly. Miss Lewis responds to all requests for aid in locating material on any subject in our library. Keeping in¬ formed on war emergency topics seemed to be one of the extra tasks that Miss Lewis allotted herself this year. W ' hether the information concerned friends or foes. Miss Lewis willingly as¬ sisted one in finding it. MR. BENN MAGGS Instructor in Physical Education for Men Director of the College Band Intensifying the physical education program for men and directing the band for college and civilian morale were among Mr. Maggs’ contributions to war efforts in our college. He qualified as an in¬ structor in Phrst Aid and volunteered for community service. He also helped with the registration of civilians in our vicinity. “Coach” Maggs is an . ir-Raid Mhirden in the Camden District and has the privilege of disconnecting the traffic light at the corner of Camden and College . enues, in the e ent of an air raid. • 66 • MISS HELEN JAMART Instructor in Hygiene and Physical Education for Women Fully and freely Miss Jainart gave of her time and strength to aid the war-emergency program, not only in onr college, bnt in the comnumity as well. Just to list her war-acquired titles and activi¬ ties will tell a fine story. Chairman, First Aid for W ' icomico County; Instructor, Standard and Advanced First Aid Courses; Instructor, First Aid Courses for Civilian Defense; Director and Organizer of h ' irst Aid Detachments; Director, Unit for Whcomico County; Substitute Airplane Spotter. DR. ANNE H. MATTHEWS Instructor in English and Supervisor of Student Teaching No one worked more enthusiastically and diligently than did “Doc . nne” in supervision and in class work to accelerate the juniors who must “a-teaching go” to appointed positions in the State in¬ stead of remaining in college during their senior year. And did she knit! Yes, and take h ' irst Aid and Home Nursing classes! No one can accuse her rightfully of not sensing the gravity of the war situation and the need for All Out for Defense. DR. JOHN B. MAY Instructor in Psychology and English Dr. May had extra problems this year in helping us to secure ads to help finance student publications. Psychological implications and interpretations of problems involved in war rightfullv claimed attention both in our psychology and in our English composition classes. The list of Civilian Defense .ketivities for which Dr. May has volunteered testifies as to his desire to help win this war. • 67 • MR. HENRY E. NELSON Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds How to save tires and other essential materials were among the added problems our superintendent of buildings and grounds had to try to solve “for the duration.” Providing black-out halls and safety devices and helping to arrange for air-raid drills and shelters were among the multiple extra tasks that fell to Mr. Nelson this year. MISS HENRIETTA S. PURNELL Instructor in Art and Geography Miss Purnell served as director of Red Cross Knitting for us college girls. In fact, she has patiently and efficiently taught many of us that skill, and has helped us with our “knits and purls” and “knots and ravels,” as she has helped us with our arts and crafts. Not contented with her present knowledge of helping others, she attended classes to become a skilled First Aider. DR. ELORENCE T. SIMONDS Instructor in Botany and Zoology Purl two, knit two, narrow, increase, cast-off! Sav, have you seen “Doc’s” needles fly? M’hy, those fingers are as skilled in knitting as they are in setting up and performing a demonstration experi¬ ment in photosynthesis. We surmise, too, that she bought stamps and bonds, and that she planned and prepared scientifically the proper foods and vitamins for husband. Dr. May. . 68 . MISS PAULINE RIALL Training Teacher — Grades 3 and 4 Student teachers and third and fourth graders reported that they enjoyed and profited from Miss Riall’s discussions in current events. I ' hese lessons supplemented such topics in social studies as the “South Sea Island,” “Holland,” and “Greece Yesterday and To¬ day.” Particularly did she guide the discussion of each country in its relation to the war. The enthusiasm of the children indicated their interest in these subjects, and their responses implied their learning of the ways of democracy. DR. J. LLOYD STRAUGHN Instructor in Chemistry and Mathematics If you strolled down the hall on Wednesday evenings last winter, you heard our chemistry instructor boom forth about bombs. What was the occasion? Wdiy “Doc” Straughn was teaching a group of the residents of Camden District how to become good Air-Raid Wardens. Then, too, he planned and explained black¬ outs and air-raid drills for us. MRS. IDABELLE W. THOMAS Instructor in History atid Social Studies Serving as chairman of the Civilian Morale Committee is the es¬ pecial part taken by Mrs. I’homas concerning the war emergency in our college during these dread davs. This historian’s knowledge of past wars, their causes, and their effects upon civilian morale have fitted her especially for this all-important task. Then, too, one often heard the voice of “Miss IdaBelle” over ’ B O C telling of Latin America and of our relation to her. . 69 • MISS JEAN SANFORD Training Teacher — Grades 1 and 2 “All of Us Are Part of the Victory Program” seemed to be Miss Sanford’s motto this year in working with her first and second graders and with the student teachers in her room. One of her classroom activities w-as a play entitled “Vitamins Win Victory,” w ' hich the children gave as a culminating program in a social studies unit. Further carrying out her motto, Miss Sanford either walked or rode a bicycle to save tires and encouraged the children in many types of saving activities. MISS GRACE STRICKLAND Librarian W’hether the country is at peace or in war the library is “the heart of the school.” The meaning back of that statement has been brought to the fore this year. Our efficient librarian, together with her assistants and co-workers, has succeeded in making our library a “standard one” in every sense of that phrase. In addition, she has enabled us to secure accurate information on problems of yesterday and today. Being thorough in one’s job certainly is a defense activity. MISS MARGARET WEANT Training Teacher — Grades 3 and 6 If you saw the bulletin boards in Miss Want’s room, or observed a current erents or a social studies lesson, especiallv, you know that she reflected in her teaching a scholarly alertness of war and its problems. She helped boys and girls and their student teachers take the problem-soKing attitude toward today’s complexities. Perhaps you chanced in her office and saw objecti e e idencc of aid she gave the Boy and Girl Scouts in collecting old papers and magazines. • 70 .
