T. C. men in the Armed Forces hangs where all may see, and despite our attempts at collegiate gaiety, we cannot escape the new and serious light m which we must needs see our liv es. We, as college students, however, are preparing to help build for a brighter future in which unself¬ ishness and love shall replace w and hatred, and men shal be free to live in peace and hap- piness unmolested. In such prep¬ aration there is hope, It is to this hope for the perpetuation of the ideals of our forefathers at Stony Point and of our brothers somewhere” that we dedicate the 1943 EVERGREEN, .3 Our First Summer Session After only one week at home — and what a week — students began to flock to the Alma Mater, for on June 8 our college was opened for its first summer session. Eighty of the one hundred seventy-five students who enrolled were in-service teachers working for degrees or certificate renewals. It is surprising how freshmen can become sophomores, and sophomores juniors, and juniors seniors in the brief space of one week when ordinarily it takes three months. But the miracle happened, and those who had been a week before mere freshmen, found themselves enrolled in “lit’’ and chemistrv, while the new juniors were looking into a new world in which education of the child is King. Don’t let that picture give you the idea that summer school was all study! Afternoons might have been hot, but that did not stop our fun. There were tennis and sunbathing and movies and just plain loafing. There were trips to Ocean City at every chance. Our beloved and historic school bus man¬ aged to take us there now and then. 1 think most of the participants can agree that summer school was fun. A gay inform¬ ality not found during regular session pre¬ vailed. (Miss Ruth even let us stay up an hour longer and forsook her iron-bound rule of hose for women and coats for men at din¬ ner.) Yes, we had fun, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t glad when August 14 came. A vacation is always welcome, espeeiallv when three months’ good times must somehow be crowded into three hot, hot weeks. It really wasn’t as bad as we had expected it to be, was it? From the way we all talked when school closed in June, 1942, summer school was going to be an unsurmountable ordeal. But we all survived — even the heat of midsummer and trials of final examinations. 4 Then after only three weeks’ vacation we returned to begin a new year. Wise but wily sophomores and all-knowing juniors mingled with timid and frightened freshmen, guiding them to dormitory rooms or cafeteria tables. Only the great and mighty seniors — to be found in the teaching world — were needed to complete the picture. September 8 was registration day but not just for “rats.” No self-respecting “rat” ever made that much noise on the first day! Those were upper classmen who trooped gaily through the waiting doors, clapping each other on the back, laughing at the recall of last year’s jokes, tossing suitcases and tennis racquets around the halls, wringing each other’s hands and making the dear old build¬ ing ring with their shouts of greeting. On the surface school looked about the same as usual — Miss Ruth standing in the hall to greet the noisy crowd; Dr. Blackwell ready with his cordial handshake; Miss Gard¬ ner eager to begin the task of registering; and here and there an office opened by some fac¬ ulty member wishing to get off to an early start. However, in spite of this familiar atmos¬ phere of enthusiasm there was an undercur¬ rent of change created by rumors that some of our faculty members would soon leave for the Army. Students learned that Mr. Paul The Open Boon Hyde of the Campus Elementary School and Coach Benn Maggs would be leaving in a very few weeks. They saw a different Mr. Straughn ascending the stairs to the chem¬ istry “lab,” for Mr. William Straughn, Jr. had taken the place of his brother, Dr. Lloyd Straughn who this year accepted a position at Western Maryland College. Among the students themselves all was not as usual. The sophomores who enrolled in September were already found in the groove of their academic pursuits, and the juniors, unlike their predecessors, had some idea of the “meaning of teaching.” These students had been to summer school! Could it be that the editors have forgotten the grand and mighty seniors? Were not they a part of this opening day scene? Not this year, for they had already gone in the wide world each into his own classroom to teach his own small charges. Here at the college was a junior class dignified a year earlv by the prestige of being the upper classmen. 5 By the end of the second week of school all freshmen were sure of one thing 99.44% of all sophomore activities were to exhibit superior qualities to little brothers and sisters. The first week they used the technique of welcome and guidance, but after that-! a Proud of Being Freshmen” A glimpse into the heart of a freshman during that first strange week would show a picture of college life not altogether pleas¬ ant and happy. Long corridors, darkened now with blackout shields, and new, diffi¬ cult courses in elusive classrooms do not in¬ spire cheerfulness when one is feeling alone and maybe a trifle homesick. To add to the confusion, there is the art of “signing the book,” which must be mastered, as well as the meaning of the various bell signals and the direction of the library, gymnasium and dining hall. Then when our freshman is just beginning to make order out of the chaotic state of his emotions and to experience a little of the joys of college, comes the order from the Sophomore War Council for Rat Week to begin. “How can anyone be so cruel? Why, if our own good American college can do such things, what can’t the Nazi youth do?” (That is the reaction of a mature junior to the Rat Rules posted by the sophomores. Juniors were sophomores once, but that was a whole year ago.) “Guess that will fix ’em. Here’s where we have our fun!” (The sophomores survey their handiwork.) “Uh-h-h”. (Nervous freshmen read the upper class communique and wonder if there is any way to avoid the miserable state of “rodenthood.” Oddly dressed freshmen marching through assembly, speeches on such subjects as “Nothing” or “How Far is Far,” the inev¬ itable Chinese prayer, counting of the posts around the driveway, paddles, sandburrs, blindfolds, and tea parties are onlv a begin¬ ning of the list of tortures originated by fer¬ tile sophomore brains to make poor little freshmen dream of fiendish monsters. Even sophomores, however, cannot be cruel for¬ ever, and Rat Week had a happy ending in the informal dance given to welcome the now full-fledged freshmen. With the sophomore gestapo no longer a threat, the freshmen were ready for some class organization. Orland Langrall became president; Ernest Cullen, vice-president; Ann Adkins, secretary; and Orville Parks, treasurer. Hubert Duffy and Myron Smith were elected to represent the class on the Student Council, and when Hubert with¬ drew from school, Sheldon Seidel was chosen to fill the vacancy. The class quite appropriatelv chose Mr. William Straughn, Jr., our freshman faculty member, as its advisor. When it came time for joining various student organizations, the freshmen were among those present. The Sophanes Players, College Orchestra, Christian Association, Glee Club, and Publication’s Staff were glad to accept freshman talent, and the Men’s Chorus found that a large part of its person¬ nel was freshmen. The soccer and basketball teams were reinforced by this freshman host, and certain members of the class showed studious inclinations which foretold of a place on the Honor Roll. For the freshmen, school was not all work. On February 12 they decked the gym with red and white streamers and scarlet hearts, and danced to sweet music while white paper Cupids pointed their arrows at the gay couples. During the year several freshmen men were called to the armed forces. We miss them, but we know they went to do a neces- 6 First row, seated — Reaves, R. Cropper, Hutson, Vincen t, C.

The youngest group in school made its contribution, and its members were listed with men of greater age and experience, among them some of our faculty members. And what shall we remember about them? What characteristics make them unforget- ably a part of our year? Is it Janice’s giggles, Ruth Cropper’s noise after ten o’clock, Anne Hutton’s quiet gentleness, Phyllis Vincent’s aloof charm, Charlie Law’s bashfulness, Cul¬ len’s slowness, “Cider’s” four-word vocabu¬ lary (stupid, revolting, disgusting, repul¬ sive) , the contrast between Libis and Link- ins, Krabill’s rhythmic compulsions, Potter’s mischievous noise, Troy’s athletic ability, Ann Adkins’ solos, “Milly’s” posters, Jack Matthew’s lovable personality, Orland Lan- grall’s poise and leadership, Tyndall’s instruc¬ tive jitterbugging, “Smitty’s” ability to carry on the family traditions, “Steeve’s” aloofness, Joanne Whaley’s nonchalance, Orville’s de¬ votion to Eleanor Jeanne, Eloise’s studious¬ ness, I Iarriet Wheatley’s intellectual argu¬ ments, and David Reaves’ camera and inevit¬ able greeting (Hi, beautiful) ? All was forgiven, however, by the end of September when freshmen students met with parents and faculty in their annual banquet. The class president proved his worthiness by his address, and the Glee Club gave its first public performance. 7 a We Dedicate Our Music is one thing every human being en¬ joys. Soldiers in uniform, civilians at home, and eager collegians are all alike in that they are influenced by the gentle power of music. Perhaps that is why every fall musically in¬ clined students are eager to become mem¬ bers of the College Chorus. Perhaps, too, anticipation of the glee club’s (colloquial for College Chorus) first performance is one of the reasons that so many students look forward to the annual Parent-Freshman- Faculty Dinner, held this year on September 25 in the dining hall of the college. to Thee 99 The glee club is organized in two groups: the Women’s Chorus and the Men’s Chorus. Edith Gross was elected president of the former, while Ben Nelson served as president of the latter. Sometimes the two groups sang separately and sometimes all forty-eight members sang together as the College Chorus. Some of the members of the organ¬ ization showed greater talent, so several solo¬ ists gained recognition and small groups of singers were organized. Ann Adkins, Jane Grey, and Fowler Cottingham served as solo¬ ists on various occasions and at times we First row — Roe, Wanex, Marshall, Gross, Nelson, Ruark, Mills, Grey, Pittman.

The glee club members can truly say their year has been a profitable one. Among performances for civic groups was the pro¬ gram furnished for the Salisbury Award Pre¬ sentation. Even rehearsals were fun under the direction of Miss Margaret Black who ever proved herself able to turn off-keys and harsh tones into beautiful music by means of a cheerful smile and a skillful stroke of her baton. SYMBOLIC OF FALL AT S. T. C. is a little truck driven bv “Dave” and carrying Miss Ruth and her baskets and boxes of h ot dogs, fresh rolls, spicy mustard, steaming hot chocolate, and fragrant plums or juicy apples. The breeze rustling through the poplars, the crackle of the logs in the fireplaces, and the long walk back to the college building just at dusk followed by gatherings on the front steps make pleasant memories for the par¬ ticipants in “supper out-of-doors at 5:15 tonight.” College is never more glorious than in the fall. Tennis, badminton, soccer, or hockey make their appeal to the athletic minded, while to others comes the desire for long strolls through the crisp leaves. Then, too, in the fall comes the meeting of State Teach¬ ers’ Association designated by the students as “long week-end.” I Iallowe’en was upon us almost before we knew it, bringing the all-important question, “to dress or not to dress,” and if so, what to wear. Our history instructor, Mrs. Idabelle Thomas, was among those who decided to costume. She carried off a prize for her effective masculine disguise. Catherine Pusey as a dignified old spinster, Mildred Mikelait as a dashing senorita, and Verlin Krabill as a rollicking hobo also received tokens of merit for their original costumes. The week-end before Thanksgiving was a thrilling one, for the Athletic Association sponsored the first formal of the year. Slowlv and laboriously dozens and dozens of myrtle branches were tied in place to form a fragrant and beautiful ceiling of non-priority material. A large part of the student body attended and enjoyed this dance for which much credit should go to the committee that made it pos¬ sible. These students are Kathleen Smithson, Marie Young, Harry Collins, and Billv Murphy. Then above the bustle of busy organizations, the routine hum of classes, and the eerie call of Hallowe’en goblins and witches was heard the battle shouts of the men ready to bring victory to their school through the Ahletic Association. In answer to their cry came a band of ardent cheerers. 9 4 Fight, Team, Fight!” W e’re in the army now” is not far from wrong when it comes to describing the Ath¬ letic Association. During onr first full year as a part of an edcuational system attempting to carry on in a world at war, the Athletic Association has had many adjustments to make. From early fall we realized that because of the war, inter-collegiate activities would be practically non-existent. The Association received a hard blow in October when its coach and advisor, Mr. Benn Maggs, went into the Navy. If he is doing as much for the sailors as he did for the boys of S. T. C., our loss is the Navy’s gain. Virgil Hickman, a former S. T. C. student, recently wrote: Students alone, however, are not the onlv contribution of S. T. C. to military service. About two months ago I could hardly be¬ lieve my eyes when I unexpectedly met Benn Maggs on the street of the Naval Base here [Norfolk, Virginia]. Coach is doing his bit to keep the boys in good physical condition.” In the absence of our physical education instructor, the men were asked to supervise their own athletics until arrangements for supervision could be made. The response was even more surprising than the request. The men not only carried on the accelerated program as prescribed by Coach Maggs be¬ fore his departure, but in many cases intensi¬ fied it. Later Miss Helen Jamart and Mr. William Straughn were assigned to instruct the physical education classes. Our soccer team had a little difficulty in becoming adapted to the absence of that familiar figure standing in the bleachers or on the side lines, but, nevertheless, it carried on. The men were fortunate in getting an excellent man to take Coach’s place, namely, Rev. Robert Frazier. Flis splendid training was evident in the games with the boys from Somerset. With the close of soccer season, ever- popular basketball came into its own. Find¬ ing someone to guide our quintet proved no problem now, for Mr. Straughn (promoted to the rank of Coach) came to our assist¬ ance. He has built a good team, as can be seen from the large number of games which we have won. Opposing teams have not been so scarce as we had expected, for there were games with Army and Coast Guard men, the Civilian Public Service Squad, Wicomico High School boys, and several Salisbury groups. In these abnormal times, one might ex¬ pect boys to use their surplus energy for such pranks as staging raids on the dormitory or Miss Ruth’s pantry, but such has not been the case. (Editor’s Note: What went with that ice cream we were to have had for din¬ ner?) The men have saved their energy for Uncle Sam. In order to make their efforts more effective, Mr. Straughn, together with Dr. John B. May, made it possible for all the men to drill daily. Their alert obedience to such orders as About face,” Squads right and left,” and Present arms” has been fas¬ cinating to everyone from the tiniest boy in the first grade of the Campus Elementary School to the most sedate senior in the col¬ lege. As one boy says, It makes us feel like real soldiers.” What can compare with a lively soccer game on a bright, brisk afternoon followed by a coke at the staff dispenser? Nothing, unless it be an equally exciting basketball game in the gymnasium when the score is close and S. T. C. is ahead. 10 Yet our men are uncomplainingly leaving this pleasant activity. The qualities which were once evident in their devotion to S. T. C. are now manifest in their patriotism. Let us be con¬ tent in knowing that the spirit of the Athletic Association is being carried into the mighty armies of our nation. Standing — Mr. Frazier, Colgain, Laws, C. Powell, H. Mikelait, Nelson, Moore, J. Matthews, Garvin. Kneeling — Tyndall, W. Cropper, Cawley, Collins, Stevenson, Martin. Mr. Straughn, Groton, Powell, Collins, Martin, Moore, V. Potter, Stevenson, Matthews, Garvin. 12 “Freemen Shall Stand” When our country needs men to do some great job, the colleges of our nation rise quickly to offer the cream of America’s youth. These young men have the necessary qualities of leadership and quick clear think¬ ing, broad training, and matchless courage that make the armed forces of the United States the most dangerous man-for-man army in the world. When the call went out for men, S. T. C.’s response was hearty. Of three hundred thirty men students who have enrolled in S. T. C. since its opening, already over one hundred twenty-five have entered the armed services of the United States. A great number of our present students are in the enlisted reserve of the Army, Navy, and Marines and may soon be wearing the khaki and blue of our services. We may be justly proud of our stalwart record. All of the armed forces are represented by alumni of S. T. C. Many are in the Army Air Corps. Another large force has chosen the Navy and Naval Air Corps in which to sen e their country. A few are in the Marine Corps; a smaller number are Flying Marines. Two have entered the Naval Academy to become future officers. The women’s forces have not been neglected, for our college can boast at least one representation in both the WAACS and the WAVES. In honor of our fighting alumni, S. T. C. now prominently displays a plaque contain¬ ing the names of all of them. We print with pride the list of those risking their lives for their country. Hugh Smith, Elizabeth Williams, Samuel Colgain, James Hyde, George Reaves, Wilson Duncan. For the peace and security of our nation, for the ideals of our great democracy, men from S. T. C. have gone forth to play their part in battle. As they take with them the influence and guidance given by their Alma Mater, so we keep here their memories and a faith in their ability to do a hard task well. 2 3 Unveiling the S. T. C.

Those seniors who took their places in the class rooms of Anne Arundel County found problems quite different from those pre¬ sented in the model set-up of our Campus Elementary School. Their rooms were full of chil¬ dren from crowded defense areas. The Junior Class of 1943 had little time for merely being jollv, for it was a changing and chatoic world which it faced. In accord¬ ance with the accelerated program, it entered teacher training on June 8. Running around the track in physical education, beating rhythm sticks in music, solving brain-teasers in mathematics, and painting innumerable stencils in art, filled the hot but enjoyable summer. The happy jaunt to Ocean City for a picnic is a sample of class good times. The heavy, rough waves which kept the most un¬ steady members of the class rolling about in the breakers were responsible for a good many sore muscles the following day. The end of the summer found Marian Pranis, Dorothy Wanex, Betty Wood, Mary Jane Wood, and Ellen Libis on the honor roll. After these three months of exposure to professionalized subject matter, in Septem¬ ber the class was eager to apply its knowledge in the Campus School. First attempts caused the fading of some of those intelligent ex¬ pressions for a few weeks. Junior days were busy ones filled with observations, confer¬ ences, and regular classes; and junior nights were a hodge-podge of seatwork booklets, lesson plans, advanced assignments, models of anything from the solar system to a beav¬ er’s dam, and ? ! . The music program given bv the fifth grade, Book Week activi¬ ties, and the Christmas P. T. A. program gave student teachers opportunity to expe¬ rience varied teaching problems. First row, seated — Riley, Wanex, Cooper, Noble, Ruark. Second row, seated — Reinhold, C. Pusev, Pranis, Collins, Schmick, E. Libis. Standing — Adkins, Wood, M. Murphy, Pittman, Downing, Truitt, Nelson, M. J. Wood, Brown, Gross, Mezick, Cooper, Young. u Gn=Campus or” There have been rumors to the effect that the junior First Aid class had a “jinx” on it. The staff photographer took pictures of this efficient-looking group on two occasions and Dr. Matthews wasted a roll of movie film with the same result — the pictures were all bad! When the class returned after the Christ¬ mas holidays, in the language of the stories they had just been teaching children, “a great surprise lay in wait for them.” Be¬ cause of the war-time need for teachers, half the group was to do its practice teaching in Anne Arundel Countv under the supervision o f Dr. Matthews who was also to give them instruction in English. The end of the first semester came quickly, but not so soon that the energetic juniors could not find time for their dance, originally scheduled for March. Exams were not over until noon on January 23, but bv five o’clock the gymnasium had been transformed into a little schoolroom with red, white, and blue roof, and all things necessary for class to “take in,” including desks of first grade size, giant rulers and slates, books and charts, and a very startling curriculum. From “roll call” to “dismissal” the dance was fun, overshad¬ owed only by thoughts of parting from class¬ mates on the following day. On January 25, twelve senior girls (the juniors of two days ago) stepped into their teaching jobs on the Western Shore. Here at S. T. C. six of the remaining group pre¬ pared for practice teaching in the Campus School, and six enrolled gaily in methods courses — their serious teaching days still nine jolly w eeks away. Since all the class officers, Edna Schmiek, Marian Pranis, Ann Noble, and Dorothy Wanex had gone, a chairman for the re¬ maining group w ' as necessary, and Virginia Lee Downing was chosen. t he Junior Class is one that will be glad when summer school comes bringing class Off-Campiii 99 reunion. The first meeting promises to be a talkative one with on-campus seniors eager to know what “teaching is really like” and off-campus seniors expecting an explanation of such things as how the words “Look away, look away, Miss Black ” managed to creep into Dixie. Top — Find the teachers: Ann Noble and Marian Pranis. Center — That determined teacher is Betty Wood.

The songs this class sings, the books they read, the games they learn, and the professional prob¬ lems they discuss may be baffling (or perhaps just nonsensical) to underclassmen, but never mind, they’re teaching — and so are the children! a And G ladly Vocational education calls for a curricu¬ lum of practical subjects and a technique of teaching which will make the knowledge gained functional. In the present world situation the empha¬ sis on education is intensified and the trend within educational effort is definitely away from general, or liberal arts courses, and toward all forms of vocational and technical courses. This trend demands two things (1) that the subjects studied and the activities engaged in bv the learner be definitely ap¬ plicable to the specific enterprise in which he is to participate, and (2) the organiza¬ tion of education and the techniques used in instruction be such that all subject mat¬ ter will be made functional through the process of learning. While there are many general, or liberal arts courses in the curriculum for teachers, the total education of the teacher is voca¬ tional and hence must be made applicable to techniques and skills required in instruc¬ tion. In addition to the application of these principles in all instructional efforts in the laboratory school, five outstanding activities which illustrate clearly the principle of func¬ tional teaching have been carried out. Three of these activities were used as a program for the College Elementary Parent-Teachers Association at its regular meeting December 16, 1942. Upper left — Student teacher Mary Ann Reinhold presides on bond-buying day in the fifth and sixth grades. Lower left — Edith Gross and Edna Schmick help prepare for a primary grade radio program.

No longer can their problems be referred to a sympathetic teacher or supervisor. They are on their own with a great task before them. The fifth and sixth grades, und er the di¬ rection of their regular teachei, Miss Mar¬ garet Weant, and with the assistance of stu¬ dent teachers, prepared and presented two forums on the topic “Know Our Enemies.” The preparation for this activity required the selection, interpretation and organization of a wide range of materials. The selective and directive agency throughout the preparation was the accepted purpose as indicated bv the topic, “Know Our Enemies.” In other words, all materials used were selected with refer¬ ence to a specific function and all activities engaged in contributed to something specific and definite, viz., the desire to learn more about our enemies in the present war. It should be noted that this activity not only made the subject matter functional for the children but it enriched the professional subject matter incident to the education of the student teachers. Two other features of the Parent-Teacher Program were a broadcast of a Christmas party by the first and second grades with their regular teacher, Mrs. Bernice Brady, di¬ recting, and a dramatization of the story “Why the Chimes Rang” bv the third and fourth grades under the direction of their teacher, Miss Pauline Riall. In addition to the above activities, emphasis in all the rooms has been put upon participation in the war effort. This is illustrated by the picture on the opposite page which shows the fifth and sixth grades buying war stamps and bonds. From December 7, 1942, when the bond¬ buying campaign started, until March 8, 1943, the pupils and teachers of the College Elementary School bought stamps and bonds amounting to $2,419.75. l he acceptance of knowledge for physical survival is assured without question, but the controversy concerning the mental survival 20 of large portions of our academic knowledge will perhaps continue. The basic problem is to maintain a proper balance between tech¬ nical, vocational knowledge and the branches of knowledge which are ordinarily said to deal with idealism. The problem is not too serious for, on one hand, liberal courses can profit greatlv from the stimulus of intelli¬ gent applications of such courses to actual social problems, while on the other, voca¬ tional courses can be made broader and be given a greater social significance by the study of the broad generalizations found in the liberal arts courses. Children may be directed along two lines (1) to do something practical and to appre¬ ciate it as such, and (2) to build up general ideals which w ill give them a richer and more significant life. The duty of the school is clear. It seems, for the time being at least, we must emphasize in our schools all knowledge and activities which have physical survival Value. — T. J. CARUTHERS. a Gli Alma Mater Irma Brewington McCool, Alumni President The war lias scattered alumni all over the world; a lower draft age has caused many S. T. C. men to become alumni long before they had expected, and an accelerated cur¬ riculum has put members of two undergrad¬ uate classes out in the teaching profession. These factors have tended to make this year a busy one for the Alumni Association. Mrs. Irma Brewington McCool has been the Alumni President, and our Assistant Li¬ brarian, Mrs. Anna Jones Cooper, has served as Secretarv. Mrs. Cooper’s location at the college and her untiring industry have made it possible for many worthwhile alumni proj¬ ects to be carried out. The fall meeting, this year on October 17, was the first important alumni event of the year. On this day there was ample time for comaraderie and renewal of old friendships as well as for the business meeting. A ban¬ quet was held in the evening at which Super¬ intendent Frank D. Day of Oueen Anne’s County was the guest speaker. The magi¬ cian who was supposed to perform later was evidently a victim of his own disappearing act, for he has yet to make his appearance. The alumni meeting was important for S. T. C.’s seniors because it was the first time they had met on the campus since the end of summer school. There was also a glad re¬ union for the Junior Class, the men having been two-year transfer students. In answer to a request from Robert Potter, president of the class during their sophomore year, Mrs. Cooper arranged for a table to accommo¬ date the entire group, and then added a surprise in the form of a ca ke iced in class colors. Mrs. Cooper, as secretary, has done an excellent job of keeping in touch with mem¬ bers of the Alumni Association. Changes of address (or of name in the case of many of the alumnae) have been carefully record¬ ed for future use. A Christmas card was mailed to each of the alumni whose address could be found. When the Publications Staff needed information regarding Alumni in the armed services to complete the Service Plaque, it was compiled by the alumni sec¬ retary. Mrs. Cooper also found time to send a copy of the Holly Leaf which featured the Service Plaque dedication, to each boy whose name appeared on the shield. If this small remembrance on the part of his Alma Mater has helped boost the morale of some fighting alumnus, the Association is well repaid for its work. As they go about their classroo m duties, they are often reminded of happy events and pleas¬ ant hours spent during student days. Homecoming in the fall and again in May becomes an eagerly anticipated occasion to those who remain ever loyal to their Alma Mater and the classes of which they were a part. The Gamers The Thin A performance by S. T. C.’s best athletes — Dot Wanex and Dick Williams It is ouite evident that the world of today requires a generation which is in good phys¬ ical condition. Strong, healthy bodies are a necessity for women as well as for men. The Women’s Athletic Association is aware of this fact and has provided an athletic pro¬ gram which purposes to give every member a chance to develop physically. This year softball took a much more prom¬ inent place i n the catalogue of sports than it had in previous years. During summer school there were inter-class games which brought forth a lot of class spirit. A college team picked from the combined classes showed much skill in the games with the Salisbury Telephone Company. Of the four games played, the girls lost only one. These games, which always ended just before the late dusk of the long summer evenings, were well supported bv the students. With hockey in the lead and fieldball taking second place, the fall sports began. Finally when cold weather forced even the most enthusiastic indoors, basketball became the main feature and volley ball, ping pong, and badminton helped to solve leisure time problems. The fact that it was impossible to spon- ser inter-collegiate games made the intra¬ mural contests, especially in basketball, more important than usual. The Women’s Athletic Association led bv officers Dottie Wanex, Betty Wood, and Frances Insley, has tried to sponsor a varia¬ tion in sports so that everyone interested has been able to participate. The advisor, Miss Flelen Jamart, helped to arrange for the ac¬ tivities carried on by the association, and the instruction received in her physical educa¬ tion classes has given the enjoyment of ath¬ letics which comes from knowledge and skill. College women are just as eager to engage in fieldball, hockey, or basketball as the men are to play soccer or football. Their opponents may range from a team from another class in college to tournament teams at Towson, but what really matters is that there is a game. A of Praise During the last week in November, a casual observer even in the Campus Elementary School could have told that Thanksgiving was in the air. In the primary room, the story of the first celebration of this holiday had been received so enthusiastically that a gay frieze decorated one end of the room. In the college, Thanksgiving spirit was not lacking. Miss Ruth did not forget her turkey dinner with all the fixin’s, music classes sang everything seasonal from first grade non¬ sense songs to the Pilgrim Hymn. A mis¬ chievous group of students decorated the music room blackboard so that the first grad¬ ers were not the only ones who could boast attempts at a display of holiday spirit. The Thanksgiving Assembly set the pace for more serious thinking. Students sang the hymns traditional to the occasion as well as those peculiarly appropriate to this year when reasons for thanks seem deeper and harder to find. A spirit of thankfulness for ideals and not so much for material things prevailed. Our Thanksgiving attitude was a hopeful one that we have carried throughout the year. We have been thankful that even in war time onr college can contribute to the well¬ being of mankind through its students. The mighty forces of war cannot tear down edu¬ cation and its influence. Whether they go to fight for a nation or take their places as classroom teachers, S. T. C. students have rich experiences for which to be thankful. Our college and others like it are ready to stand steadfast against the storm of a world at war. 2 3 e Entertain Joseph Colgain, Orland Langrall, Catherine Bloods- worth, Charles Pitts in The Valiant.” Hi “Come on, everybody! The meeting’s down in the Little Theatre. Yes, there’s going to be a play.’’ It is the third Wednesday in the month, and that call comes from a member of the Sophanes Players — said organization title having been derived from the names of the Greek dramatists, Sophocles and Aristo¬ phanes. The life of the Sophanes Players, however, calls for more than the mere enjoyment of plays. Each production requires hard work, but a student body reception such as was given The Valiant is worth all the time spent in rehearsal during the weeks preceding the performance. the Valiant was a serious play in which Orland Langrall as a murderer sentenced to the gallows bravely refused to reveal his iden¬ tity to his long-unseen sister, played by Cath¬ erine Bloodsworth. Charles Pitts, execu¬ tioner, Robert Clark as jailor, and Joseph Colgain as the priest, portrayed their parts realisticallv. Play audiences see the finished work of the cast as the drama progresses on the stage, but many times fail to realize the importance of the directors and others whose work back¬ stage makes the production possible. To Mrs. W. H. Bennett, advisor of the Sophanes Players, should go the appreciation of all who have worked in this year’s productions or enjoyed seeing them; and to Margaret Darrow, our dramatic club president, should go much credit for her able work. Lois Pitt¬ man, vice-president, and Marguerite (Dee- die) Covington, secretary, complete the list of the Sophanes officers. Highlights of the year for the Sophanes Players seem to come in the spring. In April, for High School Senior Day, they gave the big production, Tims Be It Ever , a pageant depicting the many struggles our nation has endured in an attempt to preserve the free¬ doms for which it stands. In May the club enjoyed its annual formal dance. It takes all kinds of entertainment to keep a college group happy. Sports and even holidays share a place with such serious messages as that brought by the Sophanes play, The Valiant. We also found in staging the pageant Thus Be It Ever that there is pleasure in working. Jitterbug tunes are undoubtedly essential to college morale, but at times they become shal¬ low and tiresome and we feel a need for better things. The professional artists who grace our stage three times a year satisfy and at the same time increase this desire for good music. When time comes for the Salisbury Coop¬ erative Concerts, students of S. T. C. are for¬ tunate, for these foremost musical events take place in the college auditorium. In December the beautiful voices of the von Trapp family brought us near to the spirit of Christmas during the closing num¬ bers of their program when they sang the old carols just as in their native Tyrol on Christmas morning. So lovely was their performance that even the beloved “Si¬ lent Night” had a deeper meaning for the listeners. The second concert was a treat for those who love the violin. Patricia Travers, fifteen- year-old violinist, delighted those who heard her with her skill in using such difficult tech¬ niques as harmonics and with the beauty of her interpretation of more familiar numbers such as Schubert ' s “Ave Maria” or Fritz Kreisler’s “Liebesfreud.” Those who were able to see her backstage enjoved her child¬ like simplicity coupled with a mature poise. The last concert featured Maria Gambar- illi, who is premiere danseuse of the Metro¬ politan Opera Companv and originator of the famous “Roxvettes.” Such a well-chosen variety of artists is a worthwhile influence, both thrilling and educational.

Tousled heads peering out dormitory doors to ask, “What time is it?” in answer to the startling “Br-l-r-rr” of the seven o’clock bell is the inevitable beginning to a dormitory day. From then until the last giggle after “Everybody not home . . . ,” anything may happen. There may be corn to pop, table lin¬ ens to hem, a dinner to serve, a record to dance to, a joke to tell, or a radio program to hear. Occasionally there are epidemics of studying when the old dorm rings with Ham¬ let’s famous speech or the junior’s noisy flutes, or just the silence that results from extensive concentration on some weighty matter. Problems of group concern are discussed in formal meetings at 9: 30 in Room 269. (Formal? That is, if a meeting at which the participants wear house coats and attempt to eat apples while juggling hair brushes and curlers can be called formal!) At these meet¬ ings Marylee Ruark presided, assisted by Vice-President Marie Young, Secretary Mary Marshall, Treasurer Ann Hutton, and Miss Ruth Powell, Advisor. You Day Students don’t know what it means to live in the dorm. We can be right on hand without catching a bus.” Yes, but look at all the rules and regulations we Day Students don’t have to follow!” The question is a big one, but the argument is friendly. 26 Often both Home Association and Day Students Association find it to advantage to join hands for some important project. At other times there is wholesome rivalry. If you want to see a hard-fought game, pick a team from each group and put them on opposing sides. Mary Ann Reinhold was the president of that up-and-coming portion of S. T. C.’s pop¬ ulation known as the Day Students. This year the freshmen had to share with the upper classmen the room usually designated as theirs alone. Practice on folk dances, a never-ending flow of talk (and a comparable supply of lunches), the rush of changing classes, and the click of the ping pong ball constitute day student life. Students who have never be¬ longed to the Association got quite a vivid picture of the activitv of its members when they presented their assembly program, “A Day in The Dav Student ' s Room ' Front row — Taylor, Adkins, Riley, Truitt, Roe, Pranis, Nock, B. Wood, Reinhold, M. J. Wood, Hyde, Gross, Murphy, N. Adkins, Downing. Back row — Ravne, Zeigler, Allen, Dashiell, Horsman, Eliz. Wilson, Milling, Cov¬ ington, Timmons, Farlow, Troy, Pittman, Noble, Disharoon, Cooper, Jones, Insley, Kemp, E. J. Brown. .Dorm or Day? 27 The men, too, feel a need for banding together in order to promote their common interests. They have given tone to their conduct by increased self-government and helped school proj¬ ects to go forward by working in harmony with the two girls’ organizations. The Men’s Association is an asset as a promoter of cooperation. W hen Mr. Benn Maggs left us for the Navy, the men lost not only their coach but also their Dean of Men. It became neces¬ sary for the group to resort to temporary self- government until a new dean could be found. Mr. William Strauglm was the answer to this problem, and the members of the Asso¬ ciation feel especially fortunate in his fine leadership which went on with never a grouch or grumble and always a willingness to lend help and guidance. Following the election made necessary bv the departure of the officers chosen last spring, Ben Nelson took up his duties as president of the Association. Wayne Caw¬ ley, Dan Williams, and Elwood Day became the other officials. It was decided that a defi¬ nite plan for government of the men students was needed, so a committee consisting of one member from each class was appointed to draw up a set of by-laws. Ben Nelson from At desk — Williams, Nelson. Front row, seated — Barnes, W. Murphy, Seidel, Langrall, Duffy, Cawley, W. Potter, Garvin, Collins, Clark, Moore. Second row, seated — Groton, R. Potter, Senter, Stuart, Gibson, Porter, Colgain, Massey, Parks. Standing — Krabill, Cropper, Parsons, Smith, Cullen, Martin, Derby, Vollmer, II. Mikclait, Tyndall, MeNeal, Day, C. Libis, Russell, Winfree, Mittleman, Matthews, Chatham. the Senior Class; Harry Collins, Junior Class; Marshall Moore, Sophomore Class, and George Stevenson, Freshman Class, served in this capacity. One of the most interesting activities of the Men’s Association was the assembly pro¬ gram which it staged. Contrary to the play¬ lets depicting just an average fun-filled day given by the day girls and the dormitory stu¬ dents, the men decided to give a “Woman- less Wedding.” Those who saw the skit hold hilarious memories of the romantic court¬ ship and the beautiful chorus girls who ca¬ pered across the stage. The cast was espe¬ cially well picked with Myron Smith and “Pat” Garvin as Mom and Pop, Jack Matth¬ ews as flower girl, Bobby Martin as the bride’s little brother, and Orland Langrall as the preacher who handcuffed “Dopey” Libis to his bride, Robert Linkins. Just Before Christina Christmas everywhere is the best-loved holiday because of the rich tradition that surrounds it. Since 1925 S. T. C. lias been establishing a large number of customs. So it is that every year as the first of December rolls around, wherever there are freshmen gathered with upper classmen there are stories of other Christmases at the college. This year holiday eve was begun with a turkey dinner during which red candles shed their pleasant light on the white table and illuminated the faces of the diners. When the last bit of mince pie had been eaten, the group separated — the Glee Club members to render Christmas music for the Rotarv Club and other students to attend to nu¬ merous last-minute details such as gift-wrap¬ ping, suitcase packing or, perhaps, even les¬ son preparation. Since the changed date for going home meant elimination of some of the usual events, this night had to be a full one. By eight o’clock visitors from town had begun to fill up the chairs placed for them around the edges of the social room and the college men and women stood in the hall waiting to begin the candle-lighting ceremony. Follow¬ ing a prelude played by a distant trumpet and carols sung by the junior and sophomore trios, the Glee Club singing “O, Come All Ye Faithful” led the procession into the room past the large candle from which those stu¬ dents who lighted their small candles re¬ ceived the spirit of Christmas at S. T. C. Representatives of day and dorm student groups placed boxes of toys collected for or¬ phan children under the glowing Christmas tree trimmed the day before by the freshmen. Seated on the floor, the Glee Club led in singing many Christmas carols both old and new, and even the skies themselves seemed to have caught the spirit of the occasion, for outside the snow began to fall just as “White Christmas” was being sung. As is traditional, the St. Luke version of the Christmas story was read, and then everyone joined in the reading of “Twas the Night Before Christ¬ mas” and the eating of candy canes. One thing was changed — students of a war vear were more serious and ended with “Silent Night” rather than the usual more jubilant carols. Christmas is one time of year when it makes no difference whether one rightfully belongs to the Home, Men’s, or Day Students Association. There is enough to do for all to have a part. Cooperation is particularly valuable in collecting boxes of Christmas for the children cared for by the Welfare Board. 2 9 The third week after Christmas might well cause one to think that the organization of a Society for the Prevention of Overworked Students would be a worthwhile project. That is the week that we are on trial for our grades and the questioning we must endure is un¬ equalled by that in any court in the land. Hear It Not, Duncan” For King Duncan the ringing of a bell sig¬ naled the blow that was to cause his soul to seek its destined resting place. The contrast between Duncan’s possible destinations is no greater than that in the mind of a student between the delight that accompanies the word “pass” and the gloom that surrounds the word “fail.” The bells that ring during exam week summon anxious students away from last-minute note reading to the papers that are to decide their fate. First symptom of that dread malady known officially as “final examinations” and familiarly as “exams” was the chart labelled “Examination Schedule, First Semester, 1942-’43” which appeared on the right-hand bulletin board. The disease took a normal course with the majority of students flocking And Just After immediately to the hall to copy their sched¬ ule, and a few others waiting until the last minute but eventually becoming victims of the contagion. Treatment for this term-end fever included study, review, hard work, and in desperate cases, “cramming.” Echoes from the library, from the day students’ room, from the dorm, and even from the halls and stairways proved that the larger number of students could make some sort of enumeration of the facts they didn ' t know! “Who was Aristocrates?” “Did Ibsen write The Wild Goose or was it The Lame Duck? “ ‘But if you mouth it, as many of the players do’ hey, what comes next? Does anybody have a copy here?” “What would you do if a victim had a broken leg, three cuts on his skull, frostbite, sunburn, poison ivy, and had been bitten by a rattlesnake and a mad dog — that is, be¬ sides treating for shock and calling a phy¬ sician?” “Did you ever hear of main trunk activities? Sounds like phys. ed. to me, but she says its sociology.” “Sav, did you pass your music test? I have to go back and do 6 8 time all over again! The pianos around this school must get awfully tired of the way we make them work!” Yet, it is just such a nervous hub-bub that decides what shall go down opposite the space marked “Grade” on the class cards that the instructors turn in to the office. Once they are in, students heave a sigh of grief or relief and enter into the carefree first days of a new semester. Then everyone has a clean slate, another chance, and plenty of time for loafing with June exams eighteen weeks away. 3 ° .From Torturers To Tutorer Tiie early days of school were uproarious for sophomores. They had a good time play¬ ing dictator during Rat Week, but at the end of the allotted time, they could honestly sav they were glad to resume their dignity. Led by Marshall Moore, president; Mary Marshall, vice-president; Hazel Dunnock, secretary; and Dr. John B. May, faculty ad¬ visor, the members of the class have achieved much in many phases of school life. Frances Insley has appeared not only on S. T. C.’s honor roll, but also in Who’s Who In American Colleges. Catherine Bloods- worth may be noted as president of the Stu¬ dent Council, a position ordinarily filled by a junior or senior. Margaret Darrow, who left in March, served very efficiently as pres¬ ident of the Sophanes Players. Joe Colgain, Marshall Moore, and Wayne Cawley were members of the soccer team and I Iarry Gro¬ ton and Marshall Moore were often seen as part of the basketball sextet. First row — Churchill, Grey, Marshall, Moore, Dunnock, Disharoon. Second row — Darrow, Simpers, Gordy, Tim¬ mons, Pierce, Insley. Third row -—- Nock, Smithson, Milling, Jones, Bloodsworth, Wilson. Fourth row — Parks, Callahan, Covington, Farlow, Britton, Trice. Standing ■— Dr. May, Colgain, Vollmer, Pitts, Gibson, Cawley, Groton, Russell, Clark, Mittleman, Garvin, Williams, Day, Winfree. Oh, sophomores, tell us the secret of your nonchalance! Through the toughest exams in the most difficult subject matter courses in school you retained that undaunted spirit that seems always to characterize sophomores. When you worked you found plenty to do, but when you played- 3 1 We admired you for your sportsmanship and pluck. The way you took the teacher training when plunged into it the second semester was evidenced by A Glimpse Into the Pages of a Soph’s Diary,” the good-humored and highly entertaining culminating activity” with which you entertained us in assembly. The Sophomore Class Dance came in De¬ cember soon enough after the Trapp family had been Cooperative Concert guests that their Christmas tree could be used again as a part of the dance decorations. Gayly lighted, it stood in the middle of the gymnasium and served as the hub for a wheel of myrtle-laden streamers. After Christmas and the bevy of work that accompanies the last weeks of the semester, those sophomores who had summer school work behind them became juniors. Much as others who have preceded them, the “new juniors” found a great many pleasures as well as trials in the teacher training program of which they had become a part. From what we could see and hear, they must have taken it pretty seriously. Geography and craft courses caused them to clutter the art room with everything from “Cinderella” stills to a They Shall Have Music Wherever They Go varied collection of astronomical charts; so¬ cial studies acquainted them with the art of constructing large unit plans; but the thing that spoke loudest w 7 as that MUSIC. In learning how 7 to teach music to children and putting their knowledge into practice in the elementary school, they acquainted everyone in the building with the tunes of elementary songs and the repertoire of fifth and sixth grade flutists. As spring drew near those sophomore men who w 7 ere still civilians faced an immediate future determined by military draft and armed service. The sophomore women looked with hopes and fears to the approach¬ ing day when they would be teaching in¬ stead of taught. All too quickly 1942-’43, unique in sophomore class histories, came to a close. 3 2 We Get Together Delegate Denmead Kolb (sixth from the left) was the Speaker Those of us who have followed the instruc¬ tions on the attractive and clever assembly posters drawn each week by Mildred Mikel- ait can appreciate the work done by the As- semblv Committee. This committee, con¬ sisting of Mrs. I. W. Thomas, Harry Collins, and Ann Noble (Rhoda Cooper took over when Ann went out as a cadet teacher) has done a good job of making our programs varied and interesting. We have been entertained by the Glee Club, the Greenwood High School Band, the Wicomico High School Orchestra, the College Orchestra, and have had group sing¬ ing led by Miss Black. Assembly singing has been fun this year because we have had so many new slides made. How can we ever forget the little dittv about “web-footed friends” or the countless laughs we have had when the beloved old projector decided to stick or produce a song upside down on the screen! Our speakers this year have not been nu¬ merous, but their messages have been very worthwhile. Dr. Harry Denman, Dr. Doug¬ las Steere, Dr. Ruth Seaberry, Dr. R. N. Stewart, and Delegate Denmead Kolb are among our auditorium guests. Plays of all kinds from the Dramatic Club production The Valiant to the Men’s Asso¬ ciation Womanlcss Wedding have been en¬ joyed. The spelling bee in which Frances Insley carried off the prize, the juniors’ Diaiv Pages, and an occasional cheering session also added to the variety. Keynote of the year’s assemblies was the presentation and dedication service arranged by the Publication Staff for the Service Plaque which stands in honor of S. T. C.’s men in the Armed Forces. Speaking of assemblies, they have been fun this year. A panoramic view catches those hu¬ morous yet realistic pictures that the students gave of themselves, the interesting and stim¬ ulating lectures by well-chosen speakers, and the happy occasions when we just sang” or made the rafters re-echo with our school cheers. 33 Photographers All Have you seen the pictures that have ap¬ peared in S. T. C.’s column in the Salisbury Advertiser and in the recent issues of the Holly Leal? They are the work of our new organization, the Camera Club. In return for snapshots taken for it, the Publications Staff allowed the new Camera Club to set up a dark room in the staff of¬ fice and contributed funds to enable its con¬ struction. In March the would-be photog¬ raphers graduated to a room of their own in the basement. Only an interest in the taking and develop¬ ing of pictures is necessary to join the Cam¬ era Club. Members need not own cameras or other expensive equipment. Darkroom material is available to all. In order to make itself known in school, the Camera Club has sponsored several as¬ sembly programs. Dr. Anne Matthews, ad¬ visor to the club, showed the beautiful koda- chrome pictures she had taken during her summer in the western states. Another very interesting program was the one in which a series of movies illustrating the history of the school was shown with Mrs. Thomas as narrator. Another Camera Club program was pure nonsense: “Felix the Cat” and other cartoon figures capered across the screen while Miss Margaret Black furnished a mu¬ sical background. David Reaves and Harriet Wheatlev are J the president and vice-president of the Camera Club. Other charter members in¬ clude Robert Benson, Charles Laws, Claude Libis, Mildred Mikelait, Mildred Murphy, Catherine Pusey, Myron Smith, Shirley Smith, and Dan Williams. The Camera Club’s Historic Movie Showed S. T. C. Like This The Camera Club has been a generous contributor to our assembly programs this year. Their movies, ranging from comedy to travelogue and history, were greatly enjoyed and the idio¬ syncrasies of the picture machine taken as a matter of course. In fact, the operators were prepared with a flash card asking tolerance of its most stubborn moods. 34 Remember how delighted we were last fall when the orchestra appeared in Assembly for the first time. Since then we have heard them many times, have sung with them, and have heard selections by trios chosen from their members. Derby, Laws, Stevenson, Colgain, C. Libis, Barnes, Krabill, Simpers, Chatham, Gross, Vincent, Langrall. ' The College Orchestra got off to a good start this year with three percussion, four brass, and five woodwind instruments. It was not long, however, before its members had to face the first of their many difficulties. Coaclr’s departure left them without a di¬ rector and caused the group to be unorgan¬ ized for a time. Then Miss Margaret Black willingly added another duty to her list of musical activities and came to their rescue. The fact that only four of the twelve mem¬ bers were veterans meant that in the build¬ ing of a repertoire varying degrees of ability as well as balance and instrumentation had to be considered. Then, too, there was al- wavs the danger that once a selection had been learned, some of the group would be among those called into the Armed Forces before time for performance. In fact, by the middle of the second semester only two trumpets, two clarinets, one saxophone, a horn, and the piano and drums were left. Because of the many difficulties it has en¬ countered, the repertoire of the College Or¬ chestra has been small, but we have enjoyed their renditions of college songs and such other numbers as “Zep March” by Teike, “Marine Band” bv Greenwold and the popular tunes, “I Remember Dear” and “Margie.” Among the permanent values accruing from the orchestra’s work this vear are the additions to the organization’s librarv, the reconditioning of old instruments, and the improved technique of individual players. T one—Gremlins =Tune 35 Portal; When a problem arises concerning the stu¬ dent body as a whole, the Student Council is the mother organization that weighs and considers and finally makes recommendation to the faculty. This 1942-43 Student Council over which Catherine Bloodsworth presided, has had several questions to settle. Of course, in September, there was the routine task of allocating activity funds to student organiza¬ tions. With the nearing of Christmas, there came a big issue. Should we stay in college until December 23 and thus conflict with the transportation needs of Service Men, or should we leave on December 19, give up part of our celebration here at school, and make up the lost class time by attending school on Saturdays during January? The Student Council voted for the nineteenth. The largest single piece of work done by the Student Council this year has been the revision of the handbook. For this work or¬ ganization presidents were called into con¬ ference with the Council and Dr. Simonds, co-sponsor for the governing body. Catherine Bloods¬ worth, Mrs. Wm. H. Bennett, Myron Smith, Marylee Ruark, Margaret Darrow, Hubert Duffy, and Lois Pitman. Recreation and enlightenment as brought to us by assemblies are much needed to help us make our school life well-rounded. We must, however, have a foundation on which to work. Government, indispensable to any organized group, in our college takes the form of the Student Council. 3 6 Religion likewise is one of the fundamentals which must always be present as a support. Men and women of the college attend church services in town where they are divided ac¬ cording to many denominations. Sunday evening vespers under Christian Association leader¬ ship, however, unite them in worship. The quiet beauty of the Sunday evening vesper programs is a source of inspiration treasured by many of our students. In spite of the transportation situation which pre¬ vented our having as many outside speakers as usual, our programs have been varied. We have had talks from time to time by men and women from the fields of religion, education, art, and social work. At other times students spoke or conducted musical programs com¬ posed of group singing or vocal and instru¬ mental solos rendered bv campus talent. Vesper programs have not been the onlv function of the Christian Association. In October students and faculty were the guests of the Association at a picnic on the back campus. It is certain that the advisor. Miss Ruth Powell, had a hand in this event. After the lively games and contests (remember Dr. Caruthers playing “Drop the Handker¬ chief’’?) there was delicious food — roasted hot dogs and hamburgers.

Wood, Reinhold, Cooper, Pittman, Mezick, Marshall, Smith- son, Schmick, A. Cropper, M. Kemp, Gross, N. Adkins, Trice, M. Mikelait, Grev, Hearne, C. Pusev. Standing — Chatham, Porter, Langrall, Tyndall, Cottingham, Stevenson, Marshall, Moore, M. Smith, M. J. Wood, Pranis, E. Libis, Nelson, Cullen, Cawley, Collins, Colgain, Laws. 37 At The Mike Like other organizations in the college, the Baglean-Carnean Society has undergone changes caused by the war. The formal de¬ bates with the University of Maryland, West- ern Maryland College, and the University of Delaware — an important function of the society in past years — had to be discontinued because they would have involved unpatri¬ otic use of transportation facilities. For this reason, the bimonthly radio pro¬ grams over WBOC have taken on increased importance. T hese broadcasts were in the form of unrehearsed forums which embraced such subjects as ‘ ' Should Eighteen-Year-Old Boys Be Drafted’’ and “Should Labor Be Conscripted.’’ In April the group conducted a discussion on “Youth and the War’’ at Asbury Church. Officers of the Baglean-Carnean Society were as follows: President, Bettv Nock; Vice- President, Isabelle Lynch; Secretarv, Mil¬ dred Murphy; and Treasurer, David Reaves. After the resignation of Dr. Richard Current who had been advisor of the debators for the last few years, Mr. William Straughn was chosen to take his place. Seated — M. Murphy, R. Potter, Mr. Straughn, Nock, Reaves, Lynch. Standing — Insley, Grey, Clark, Jones, Cawley, Chatham, Farlow, Gordy, Trice, Churchill. S. T. C. is an institution which feels strongly its challenge to serve the community of which it is a part. The Baglean-Carnean Society is an example of this civic contact. Through discus¬ sions over WBOC, its members have gained valuable experience and acquainted others with the ideas and opinions of college youth. 38 And the Seniors Came The first of March always starts a wave of questions, all of which on close analysis per¬ tain to High School Senior Day. It isn’t long before the questions are answered, however, for bv March a faculty committee (headed this year bv Miss Margaret Black) has al¬ ready conceived plans for the event, organ¬ ized them, and got rehearsals under way. For six weeks before the great day arrived strange and varied activities took place down in the gymnasium. Women as well as men experimented with the parallel bars until some were able to execute hand stands and other exercises with seeming ease. Forward rolls, head stands, rope climbing, pyramids, and other stunts received a great deal of at¬ tention. Miss Jamart helped Marshall Moore and Frances Insley to work out a series of athletic feats designed to appear rather dar¬ ing to the casual observer. Military tap danc¬ ing and a sailor’s hornpipe were grouped with other events such as a W.A.A.C. Drill and a Commando Track Race to exhibit the influ¬ ence of the war era on physical education. And let us not forget the indispensable part of the Gym Exhibition known as the Grand March. Entering by classes, the girls marched down the gymnasium and around it singly and then two abreast, at times coming down the center or diagonally across in an ever- moving and smooth-flowing column. Also to be classed as an athletic event was the Phvs- ieal Fitness Institute held in the morning by Supervisor Donald I. Minnegan of the State Department of Education. After the Gym Exhibition there was a tea in the social room and from there the high school seniors divided into groups to go on tours of the building guided by members of the Hospitality Committee. An effort has been made this year to en¬ able high school seniors to see onr college as an agent mentally stabilizing and physically conditioning men and women for a war-time world. High School Senior Day, 1943, was keyed to the college’s war program. The evening program was opened by the 111th Infantry Band. Thus Be It Ever, a pa¬ triotic pageant written and directed by Mrs. W. H. Bennett, was the feature entertain¬ ment of the evening. The pageant was de¬ signed to give a panoramic view of the strug¬ gle for freedom which a democratic nation has had to endure. The dramatic intensity was heightened by realistic sets arranged by an ingenious crew. An actual boat appeared on the stage to portray Washington crossing the Delaware, and on the sentinels of Valley Forge snow fell threateningly. The dramatic intensity as felt in these episodes was broken by a gayer vein introduced through a scene at a ball given by Mrs. Alexander Hamilton. In this overview of national determination for freedom the scenes of Lincoln’s Gettys¬ burg Address and the crosses at Flander’s Field were poignant. The panorama was made current by a roll call of S. T. C. men in the service answered by voices speaking from war fronts in all parts of the world. The Col¬ lege Chorus and 111th Infantry Band served as musical support for the pageant. The do¬ nation of the money from the sale of tickets to the local Service Center was concrete proof of S. T. C.’s seriousness of purpose in playing a war-time role. The gymnasium was quickly cleared of its backstage properties for a dance which cul¬ minated the evening’s activities. College stu¬ dents invited their guests to waltz to “Moon¬ light Mood” or jitterbug to “Juke Box Sat¬ urday Night’’ until Saturday night was no more. For the college students, Dr. Blackwell’s announcement of Campus Leaders was a highspot of the day. At 7:13 P. M. he tore open the envelope which held the names of those persons selected by their college-mates as the most outstanding personalities on the campus. Highest honor S. T. C. can bestow on a woman student is the title “Miss S. T. C.” This person is chosen for qualities of leader¬ ship, pleasing personality, trustworthiness, cooperation, physical fitness, and outstand¬ ing contribution to S. T. C. life. Georgia White was judged able to bear this title. Comparable to this honor is that of Best All-Round Man, won by Benjamin Nelson. A sophomore, Jane Timmons, was elected as the girl possessing the “poise, dignity, charm, grace, and beauty of face and figure” which make a fitting May Oueen. In order to be a fitting escort for such a queen, Thom¬ as Flowers had to measure up to high stand¬ ards of fine countenance, well-proportioned physique, appropriate dress, and outstanding personality. As Best Woman Athlete, we chose our A. A. president, Dorothy Wanex, who has been a star athlete and a participant in a number of sports and who has shown good sports¬ manship, a willingness to practice, and a desire to advance athletic interests of the school. Richard Williams was chosen Best Man Athlete for a similar record. To a person who knows and appreciates good literature and who is herself able to write an article of literary value goes the title “Most Literary.” Frances Insley has merited the right to this appelation. On high School Senior Day collegians mingle with seniors from all over the State who are invited to our campus to see the products of the year’s work. The scope and careful execu¬ tion of the event mark it as one of S. T. C.’s finest culminating activities. 4 ° College students were glad when the announcement of Campus Leaders ended the specu¬ lation regarding their identity. With so many juniors and seniors away from the campus, the election had to be begun early, and there was a long period of wondering before the final choices could be made known. Wanex Insley Flowers White Nelson Timmons Williams Lives of Achievement There are always some who because of their varied interests and industry are recog- nized as capable of accepting the responsi¬ bilities of leadership. This year six students have proved their ability by serving as officers of S. T. C. organizations and at the same time Ending time and energy for study which enabled them a place on the honor roll. S. T. C. recognizes their achievements with a little gold key stamped with the pillars of the school. Orland Langrall, president of the Fresh¬ man Class, was also a member of the orches¬ tra. He was with us o nly one semester, trans- J ferring in January to the University of Mary¬ land. That versatile sophomore, Frances Inslev, has been secretary for the Day Student As¬ sociation and for the Women’s A. A. and a member of the Baglean-Carnean Society. Mildred Murphy is, perhaps, best known for her work as Co-Editor, but she has also served as Manager of Debates for the Bag¬ lean-Carnean and has been a member of the Camera Club. Vice-President of the Junior Class, Secre¬ tary of the Christian Association, and Staff Member, are the title that can be ascribed to the name of that quiet junior, Marion Pranis. Wherever there is anv activity, be it work or play, there is Dottie Wanex. She was Pres¬ ident of the Women’s A. A., Treasurer of the Junior Class, and one-third of the Junior Trio. Ellen Libis has been one of the Co-Editors of the Publications Staff, Vice-President of the Christian Association and a member of the Glee Club. Insley, Langrall, E. Libis, M. Murphy, Pranis, Wanex. 4 The awarding of the keys for all-round achievement and the official announcement of schol¬ astic leaders does not come until Commencement Day. Since there is no class to be graduated until August, the Evergreen reveals the names of these people a bit early. Here we pause to do them honor. Hyde, Insley, E. Libis, Hall. “Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide. ...” At S. T. C. there were certain people who decided that work was of first importance and should come be¬ fore pleasure. So, even though we saw them out on the campus with a tennis racket, over at “Floyd’s” with the gang, or enjoying a movie, we could be certain that their fun was not a substitute for work. Eloise Hyde is the torehbearer for the freshmen. During her first year here she has won the respect of her classmates by her effi¬ ciency, quiet friendliness, and pleasant smile. This is the second year that Frances Insley has taken her place as scholastic leader of her class. “Frankie” is one of those persons who likes activity, and wherever she is there will undoubtedly be a good time. During its three years at S. T. C. the Jun¬ ior Class has had three different scholastic leaders. This year it’s Ellen Libis who takes that place. In the Senior Class there has been one who has excelled continuously in her class- work. Lorraine Hall leads her class for the third consecutive year. 43 Dorothy Siddons, 1942 Catherine Appleton, 1941 Eleanor Bosse, 1939 a 0f Grace and Beauty” The coming of spring to S. T. C. is marked bv speculation as to which girl shall be judged best able to bear the coveted title of May Queen. The March election for this honor is always preceded by much careful consideration of one girl’s grace, another’s pretty face, or another’s poise. We who so carefully attempt to pick the fairest can well wonder at the day when S. T. C.’s May Queen was chosen for her personality devel¬ opment, scholastic ability, and contribution to the school, regardless of laws of beauty. For until 1936, when State Normal School became State Teachers College, “Miss S. N. S.” (now “Miss S. T. C.”) automatically be- came the May Queen. Bettie Hareum, queen of that May, was the first to be chosen spe¬ cifically for her queenly attributes. May Days old and new all bring the same svmbols to the minds of students or alumni. White-robed queens, fluttering maypole streamers, and beautiful flowers must always be a part of the festivities. The queen’s pro¬ cession is indeed a gay one. Those students named as Campus Leaders become the ladies of the court, and whenever possible the queen of a vear before returns to do homage to her successor and serve as maid of honor. In 1941 four former queens took their places in the ceremonv. A very important part of this procession is the trainbearers, flower girls, and heralds who are chosen from the tiniest children of the Campus Elementary School. Once the queen has been crowned, stu¬ dents attempt to entertain her in many ways. For her pleasure gav peasants, looking all the world like a host of freshmen, wind Maypole ribbons. To see her laugh, the clown places her motley self in the midst of graceful scarf dancers and fountain nymphs, or clumsily shows agile tumblers how to improve their stunts. For her refreshment following the fetes on the front campus there is a tea in the social room. She is honored by a banquet and privileged to end the day by presiding over the Queen’s Ball in S. T. C.’s gymnasium. This year many colleges relinquished their May Day celebration because of world con¬ ditions. In spite of elected court members who were in the Armed Forces before time for this spring festival and who, therefore, had to be replaced by substitutes, S. T. C. kept to her traditional observation of the day, thinking occasional gaiety necessary for stu¬ dent and community morale. That you may remember her beauty, we now present Miss Jane Timmons, May Queen, 1943. Jane Timmons, May Queen, 1943 The Saturday morning nearest May First dawns a day of queenly rule for some S. T. C. girl. As each one takes her place in the list of the fair and receives the crown upon her head, memories of other May Days come drifting back to those who have seen the spectacle before. 45 The Road Home Stuffed elephants under one arm and wastebaskets full of valuables under the other, everyone makes a final check in the dorm to see that nothing has been left behind. Juggling our suitcases and bundles, we hurry through the hal l calling last good¬ byes to a score of friends. A final desperate lunge puts us aboard the waiting school bus. The old vehicle shudders and creaks, decides to stay intact for one more trip, begins its traveling song, and we’re off! Riding down the driveway, we turn to wave to those still waiting for transportation. We see the college standing strong and beautiful against the sky and over it the flut¬ tering stars and stripes. With this picture etched on our minds, we turn to join in the chatter of our comrades or to silent reminis¬ cence of our own. It’s been a good year. Of course, at times, there were disappointments or our courses were a bit more difficult than we liked, or we were grieved yet proud to see some of our classmates leave for militarv service, but looking back it’s the happy things that stand out. Take the time we went to Ocean City — remember? And that Hallowe’en party was fun, too, wasn’t it? We almost forgot about the rats — they were the world’s worst for looks. Christmas was best of all, as usual. Lighted trees and white candles and Christ¬ mas carols and snow do something for one. For solemn impressiveness, we look to the Service Plaque on which the names of our men and women in the Armv and Navy are recorded. Speaking of Service Men, that dance at which we entertained them was gay enough. Didn’t the men put spirit into those songs during intermission! High School Sen¬ ior Day went off smoothiv, and Jane made a pretty May Oueen, and now to top it all we have three weeks’ vacation before sum¬ mer school begins! Don’t know that we won’t be glad to see the old school again, though. SEE YOU JUNE 21 ! After May Day the weather which has hung so long in a balance takes a definite swing to¬ ward summer. Softball and tennis must be weighed against lessons and the inevitable doom of exams. Then, too soon, another year is ended, another story told, another student body wending its way home. 46 e? The Grand 01c. o emor 99 The class which is to be graduated on August 27, 1943, is a group which from the viewpoint of experiences should be the wisest and most mature ever to don cap and gown and walk in stately procession down the aisles of the auditorium. Some of the number received diplomas when the college was a two or three normal school. After sev¬ eral years of teaching, they returned to their Alma Mater for summer school work which completed the requirements for their B.S. degrees. The larger portion of the class, however, were those who enrolled as freshmen in the fall of 1939. As those who came before them, they passed through the stages of freshmen rodenev, sophomore nonchalance, and junior perplexity. Then, as seniors, they were con¬ fronted with a war world which needed their immediate services in its classrooms. So it is a unique group that takes its degree this year. They who have already be¬ come teachers are now better equipped to meet the great challenge made by the edu¬ cational front in a war world. The youth of this nation must be armed with knowledge and truth to mend the mischief wrought by this unfortunate struggle. The Class of 1943 has accepted its task. 47 MARGARET TI LG II MAN BAKER Salisbury, Maryland S. N. S., Class of ’34. . . . Carnean. . . . President of Class, ’33. . . .

Below are a few of the answers to a request by the Publications Staff for “ — two or three sentences telling of some interesting, excit¬ ing, or humorous incident in connection with this year’s teaching experience.” Teaching is grand, but if I’m to continue, I wish someone would “rig up” a device so people can tell me from the children. Often visitors drop into my room asking, “Where is the teacher?” Then I pop out of a seat as they stare in wonder at such a small “school marm.” — Flossie Standiford. Trying to explain Greenbelt’s progressive school system to other people. — Emily Fox Clinard. We had sweet cider for our Hallowe’en party, in brow-n jugs. A little first grader drawled, “I don’t like beer, wine, or whiskey, or anything like that.” We convinced him that it wasn’t anything “like that.” — Jane E. Wheatley. My class threatens to buy me vitamin pills to keep me well. They don’t want any substitutes. This must be the real thing, I think this is a country of “shiny apples.”— Richard Williams. My first big production was a musical play called “Santa Claus’ Mittens.” It was very sue- cessful and the children enjoyed their work. They made their costumes, composed some of the dia¬ logue and songs. — Betsey Collison. I asked one of my fourth graders who were the chief enemies of early man and she said, “Hitler and that daggone old Goebbels.” — Thomas Flowers. My first aid has been put to use many times. The smaller children inquired if you have to be a doctor before you can become a teacher. Indeed, to become a teacher one has to be a bit of every¬ thing! — V irginia Gardner. No deviations from normal. — Donna Hoyt. Because of seating facilities for only thirty-six children, my forty-two sometimes create a prob¬ lem. The second day of school, during an informal social studies discussion in the second grade, one prodigious cherub thought of just the way to re¬ lieve the situation — “I don’t need a chair, Miss Simpers. I’ll sit in a good place ” — and he pro¬ ceeded to take the seat of honor on “teacher’s” lap. — Betty Simpers. I, who got straight “C” in music, am now teach¬ ing third, fourth, and fifth grade music, and am to help put on an operetta! At times it’s more pathetic than humorous. — Addelle Somers. The little boys in my group waite me love notes, and the parents can’t tell me from the school children. — Virginia Harcum. Pathetic situations can be amusing, such as the day I called upon shy little Janice to read. She quickly rose from her seat, but I heard none of the familiar sentences peal forth. When I questioned her as to the difficulty, she instantly came to my side and hoarsely whispered, “Miss Crockett, I have a cold and I can’t talk.” — Evelyn Crockett. During a social studies class I asked a boy to tell who Ferdinand was. Promptly he chirped, “He’s a Spanish bull.” —Virginia Gardner. There were three fourth-grade pupils sitting near each other one day when suddenly Mary’s books came out of the desk and fell on the floor. One of the boys near her said, “Miss Hickman, look at the mess Mary made.” The other little boy said in his slow drawl, “Miss Hickman, I wouldn’t want to marry her. She would make an awful housekeeper!” — Elizabeth PIickman. “An apple for the teacher.” I haven’t missed a day getting an apple. To the apples I find attached notes which read, “for our sweetheart,” “to my honey,” and “for the little teacher.” — “Fritzie” Hahn. The most humorous incident happened on my first day of teaching when I received so many red apples that I almost had enough for apple sauce! - “Tilly” DeVoe. We have been studying flower parts. In answer to my question, “What is a sepal?” one little curly head answered quite solemnly, “That’s the thing that when the flower goes to bed folds over and then the flower go to sleep.” — Georgia White. I had been emphasizing manners for quite some time when one little boy stepped on my foot. I told him to excuse himself. He did, and then kept stepping on my foot and excusing himself. — Mary Lee Moore. I can’t think of anything special, but just want to say I am having a grand time with my forty-six yo ungsters. — Edna Mae Ellis. Athough this is a quite different year from any I have ever experienced, I must say that it has been very pleasant working with twenty-three in¬ teresting and appreciative chidren. — Betty Breneman. 60 Evelyn Crockett on the steps of her school; Emma Todd, Mary Lee Moore, and Betsey Collison; Jane Wheatley waits with some of her children for the bus; water for Jane Wheatley’s school must be carried from a well; Williams, Kirby, Harcum, Gardner, Todd, Moore, Collison, and Parks pose at S.

We have perused the record of a year at S. T. C. and have covered it with friendly messages and autographs. We prepare to close the covers and lay it aside when we are reminded that there is one story not yet told, one ac¬ count not read. We must know of the staff that collected this material and put into tan¬ gible form the memories we should like to keep. The first we heard from them was a re¬ quest to meet in various spots on the cam¬ pus or in the building for group pictures of classes and organizations for the Evergreen. If you could have gone with the photogra¬ pher that day, you would have seen many incidents which afterwards proved humor¬ ous to talk about. Do the freshmen remem¬ ber how windy it was and how hard it was to keep those newspapers on the steps? Have the day students forgotten the elusiveness of that ping-pong ball? Then there were the in¬ numerable changes in costume that were necessarv to get the Glee Club in order and the extemporaneous dances performed by Dr. Matthews to keep up Home Association morale. There was the misfortune of a miss¬ ing advisor in the Student Council and the problem of missing coats in the Orchestra. And the staff itself barged right into the li¬ brary, took possession of a couple of tables, and posed for their likeness. (Their own staff room would not hold all of them and a cam¬ eraman, too.) We heard from the staff again when they presented to S. T. C. the Service Plaque that hangs now in the hall. We wish to express our appreciation to our business advisor, Dr. John May, whose persistent efforts were largely responsible for this plaque’s becom¬ ing a reality. Like other organizations, the Publications Staff has been forced to face changes neces¬ sitated by a war year. Of the original num¬ ber who posed for their picture in October, less than half remained to carry on the work at the end of the year. At the beginning of the second semester, Dr. Anne Matthews, Faculty Advisor to the Editorial Staff, as well as Mildred Murphy, one of the two co-edi¬ tors, and several of the reporters left the campus for teachi ng duty in Anne Arundel County. In the course of the year most of the men on the staff, including Dr. May, were called into military service. Lists “in appreciation” are always difficult and perhaps a bit dangerous to write, but there are certain persons whom the editors should like to thank for outstanding effort and cooperation. They are as follows: Dr. Anne Matthews, Faculty Advisor, without whose patient explanations an inex¬ perienced staff could not have organized a yearbook; Mrs. A. L. Fleming, who came to us at the beginning of the second semester and took over the advisory task that Dr. Matthews had been forced to leave; Dr. John B. May, who taught a Business Staff how to work and encouraged them to “get the ads”; Dr. T. J. Caruthers, who wrote the Cam¬ pus School copy and the Faculty write-ups; Leta Price, who typed and re-typed page after page, never complaining at changes in copy or letters looking like hieroglyphics in a mixture of red, green, and black pencil and blue ink; The organization presidents who fur¬ nished information regarding their societies; The persons who so willingly donated snapshots; The advertisers who helped to finance the yearbook; The members of the Business Staff that solicited the ads; Mildred Mikelait, who helped with that annoying and painstaking job of copying layouts; Dr. J. D. Blackwell, who has granted such requests as school time to take group pic¬ tures, early compilation of scholastic honor people, et cetera; Mr. Ben Meeks of the printing company and Mr. Gordon Brightman of the engraving company for their tolerance and understand¬ ing of “green” methods of expressing in¬ structions; Everyone else who has helped the prog¬ ress of this book by work or deed, no matter how great or how small his service w 7 as. The Publications Staff’s w 7 ork is over now. The yearbook is in the reader’s hands. Four times during the year students have received a small magazine called The Holly Leaf. These publications required hard but enjoy¬ able work. To next year’s staff we wish the best of luck. We know there are problems lying in w ; ait for you now, but w 7 e also know that it is your privilege to assemble the one book that every S. T. C. student wants. The key to the staff room can be the key to many good times!
