Maryland rj JJw 1= 17 5 4 , 6 rJi rj W wjw wjw JJv f ' O UT of this most tyrannical clash of arms which history has ever re¬ corded, there must—and we hope there shall—emerge a society able to face the schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions fearlessly. The de stiny of this new order has been placed in the hands of the coming generation of which we future teachers are a major part. Our tools are love, loyalty, tolerance, re¬ spect, and kindness; mostly these are little things, but their effect goes deep. These weapons, wielded skillfully, will bring about harmonious relationships be¬ tween all peoples; and, then, “our honored dead shall not have died in vain.

O’CONOR To CLIMAX four years of activity, the Seniors ’44 were hostesses to faculty and guests at a lawn party on August 17, 1944. The main feature of the occasion was the presentation of an oil painting of our president. Dr. J. D. Blackwell, to the college by Miss Fdizabeth Wood, presi¬ dent of the January class. In accepting the portrait for the state, the Honorable Herbert R. O’Conor, governor, said, in effect that Dr. Blackwell was not only jirominent in his field in Maryland alone but also was one of the outstanding edu¬ cators of the East. Governor O’Conor was introduced by Dr. Florence Simonds, member of the faculty. As honor student of the class. Miss Mildred Murphy was privileged to unveil the portrait. Miss Dorothy Mitchell, Salisbury artist and teacher who has received acclaim for her work, painted the portrait. In the college social room it hangs as a symbol of the appreciation of members of the entire student body who smile and think, “In him I lound a friend.’’ 17 ORGANIZATIONS If college were just classroom routines, this life here would be less challenging, and, needless to say, less stimulating. It is participation in student organiza¬ tions and helping to make the extra¬ curricular activities successful which they sponsor that tends to make the life well- rounded. Do you agree that “without music life would be a mistake”; do you wish to try your talents as a journalist; do you aug¬ ment your physical education courses by playing on varsity teams; do you have a keen sense of the aesthetic; do you desire to develop your mind spiritually. —most of us do, and by meeting with our class¬ mates who have similar choices these interests may be further pursued. Although each organization individu¬ ally is merely one link in the chain of college activity, there is one force which unlocks the key. It is the Student Council that “fur¬ nishes means through which and by which both faculty and students may cooperate in all curricular and extra-curricular activ¬ ities of this school.” 18 The Student Council W H EREVER THERE are Organizations ol j)articipating students there must be some group to make recommendations and settle problems concerning the student body as a whole. The Student Council serves in this capacity as the mother organization. This year the council under the direc¬ tion of its officers: Charlotte Widdowson, president; Ned Keenan, vice-president; and Frances Crockett, secretary-treasurer and under the advisership of Dr. Anne Matthews and Mr. A. L. Fleming has settled wisely the problems referred to them. Minor problems concerning the allocations of funds to student organiza¬ tions were handled by the group. It was the duty of the Council to change the rules for the election of campus leaders and achievement key winners to conform with the accelerated program. It was also their privilege to conduct the student elections in the fashion of a true demo¬ cratic election. The annual All-High-School Senior’s Day was guided by the joint efforts of the Christian Association and the Student Council with the cooperation of all faculty and student members. Under the general chairman, Mr. A. L. Fleming, everything went smoothly from the presentation by the Dramatic Club to the dance, the clos¬ ing feature of the evening. The Student Council has realized the aim of providing a contact and under¬ standing between the faculty and students.

WBOC announcer Jack Guller. -C a mean Societ The B a g 1 e a n That there shall be no law abridging the freedom of speech was guaranteed to our peoples from the beginning of our country’s organization. And since it is such a part of one’s daily life this principle became the basis for the founding of a debating society at our college. Now in its twentieth year of organiza¬ tion the Baglean-Carnean Society still continues to dispute and analyze topics of interest in the fields of government, cur¬ rent events, community life or pertinent subjects which might affect our lives. Should military training be compulsory for youth having completed high school. Presenting both sides of this issue over WBOC were Marilea Powell, Belle Brein- inger, Bonnie Lee Cummins, and Elsie Vollmer. With the spotlight still focused on the post-war period Betsey Clark, Marita Willard, Regina Griffin and Betty Lee Hillman discussed, on another program. National Conservation. This proposed conservation program provides for at least seven such projects similar to the T.V.A. in areas throughout the United States. One of the most argumentative pro¬ blems is that of racial relations. Approach¬ ing it from the angle of “peace as a world race program” the main conclusion was that education will be a determining factor in creating an understanding, and that this is as much a program tor the white race as for the yellow and the brown races. In reality the white man who holds an air of superiority over his brothers is a minority in the world population. The rate ot marriages has definitely been on the increase since the outbreak of the war; repeatedly one asks himself if marriage is advisable under such uncer¬ tain circumstances. Almost at the age when most people enter the field of matrimony, the college students hat e definite opinions on the matter. After much torrid discussion in a formal debate each participant gave this advice to the perplexed: “Don’t take steps which you might regret later.” Officers for the year have been: Char¬ lotte White, president; Bonnie Lee Cum¬ mins, vice-president; Nellie Wright, secretary; and Shirley Smith, treasurer with Mr. Paul Huffington as advisor. As long as the youth of our country continue to meet in organizations such as ours to participate in open forums there is no doubt that one of our basic freedoms will have everlasting life. SOME TRUTH War is not the instrument of youth ’Tis the tool of querulous old ages. Youth is the instrument of war Led by those patriotic sages. Youth is cruel but in a different way. Its abuse is mockery and disrespect Of the staid older generation With its dire circumspect. Why should age settle its (}uarrels. And earn its own j)rofits of gore. I think then wars would cease entire And peace would reign evermore. —Angela England Smith 21 MEN’S ASSOCIATION —Standine left to right: Rev. Graham F.

Thomas, Margaret Horsman, Hyman Crandall, Jacquelyn Lord. THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE “There’s the bell! It’s time for Assem¬ bly. Have you seen the bulletin board No. Well, come on! We don’t want to be late.’’ PTery Tuesday morning at 10:20 faculty and students find their way to the Little Theater for the one “get-together” of the week. The Assembly provides an oppor¬ tunity to hear well-known speakers and singers. Pearly in the year Dr. Anne H. Matthews gave us a brief insight into the history and traditions of S.T.C. The men of the college have entertained the group with their southern harmony. After an election assembly, with heated campaign speeches and electioneering, we elected Mr. Roose¬ velt, too. Other outstanding programs have included monologues by the speech class, informative lectures by professional persons and music by various outside groups. The music department has been of in¬ valuable help in the Assembly. Miss Isabella M. Watters lends her talents and efforts in getting the faculty and students to enjoy community singing. The Assembly programs are arranged by the Student Assembly Committee con¬ sisting of four students and two faculty members. The committee includes Mar¬ garet Horsman, chairman, Jacquelyn Lord, Margaret Covington, and Hyman Cran¬ dall, Dr. IdaBelle Wilson Thomas and Miss Watters. MEN’S ASSOCIATION “How ARE your vocal chords. Dykes “Tune up the piano, Riley.” Among the other compliments to be paid the fifteen men still enrolled here, it could be said that “they are the singingest group of boys we have ever seen”; consequently the pose around the piano is a most natural one. PNen Mr. P leming, the ad¬ visor—who, incidentally, gets our vote as the “father of the year”—has graduated from “Rock-a-Bye-Baby” to “Dark Town Strutters Ball.” Officers for the year are Roger Beck¬ with, president; Nolan Owens, vice-presi¬ dent; Joseph Jackson, secretary; and Ceorge Collins, treasurer. 23 GIRLS’ DAY ASSOCIATION— 5ow n!g, left to right: Frances Crockett, Marilea Powell.

The Girls’ Day xAssociation % Life in the Day-Room is a series of ups and downs. Yesterday Annalee and Ann were both down—on the tioor. It seems that Ann was trying out some jujitsu, and, apparently, she didn’t know how good she was! A description of the Day-Room would he futile; the scenery is always changing as the girls rush in, hang up coats, and ding books into the bins. The bins, alias lockers, occupy the space at one end of the room. In the center of the room is a table whereon sits a much used typewriter and usually a vase of dowers. Three couches, covered with gay dowered material, and numerous chairs invite relaxation. All ot us have had the comfortable experience of stretching out on one of the couches for a hurried forty winks between classes. The bulletin board must not be forgotten be¬ cause that is where the bowling scores are posted. Yes, occasionally, the W.D.S.A. holds a meeting downtown at the bowling alley just off South Division Street. What’s it like.? Well, a super de luxe combination of cheering, shouting, arguing, eating, drink¬ ing and gymnastics. But perhaps a glance at the picture of the W.D.S.A. offers a better illustration. One must not infer, however, that our faculty adviser does not also })articipate in bowling. Dr. Matthews, through unfortunately out ot the camera’s view, is an active member ot the “No Spares.’’ Most of you know that Betty Lee Hill¬ man underwent an appendectomy during the latter part of November, but do you know she also makes a specialty ot un¬ twisting wire coat-hangers. So if you are lucky enough to have any of the last men¬ tioned articles, better keep them home! The period of 12:05 to 12:35 is eagerly welcomed by members of the Women’s Day Student Association. Many of the group rush to the cafeteria to replenish their supply of energy. The remainder gather about the table in the center of the room or, like the Romans of Caesar’s day recline gracetully on the several couches and consume an amazing amount of food. Jackie Lord, as president of the associa¬ tion, is privileged to journey to the cafe¬ teria for dixie cups. And listen to the griping if it’s all orange ice instead of vanilla! Cokes, milkshakes, and chocolate zij)s are imported from the store. Lunch is accompanied by much gossip, pantomime, and laughter. Quite fre¬ quently the silence of the hall is disturbed by unrestrained shouts and giggles. Jokes are told, too, but few can rival Mr. Huff- ington’s version of centrifugal motion (as told to a certain geography class one day when Miss Purnell wasn’t there)—“Get behind a car wheel sometime when it’s stuck in the mire and watch it sling mud in your lace.” “Light she was and like a fairy, a7id her shoes were number nine ' ' !! We hope that is not the Chincoteague sailor’s opinion of the S.T.C. co-ed!! Everyone looks for¬ ward to the dances for they are special occasions. But much ot the enjoyment comes from the discussion in the day room. Before the dance: “Marita, trade the fifth set!” “Regina, what are you going to wear!” (Don’t forget Charlotte promised to let us all wear her new evening gown). “Who’re you coming with, Margaret Anne.?” “Betsey, don’t you hope Esso comes again.?” After the dance: “What was his name, Frances.?” “Your partner was a swell dancer, Etta.” “Lee’s from Chicago.” “Well, Bill’s from Alabama.” “Didn’t you like the decorations!” “And those relreshments!”—wish I had some now! 25 I c UC ' (V 5 c c , o ka o u ' u o CO g o OJ c 0 :r c oj z c c T c5 o 0 C ' _3 uT CO o cu Q. 1 rt G. . ct! _c o OJ i2 £ Cl S = .

C ■ 5 00 Z O y: X rt 5 c ' ‘J ' a X n V ' v: Home Association There’s a hot time in the old dorm every night when the 9:30 bell rings summoning all the Home Association members for a halt-hour chat in the home corner! Several seem to be expecting phone calls from Butcher’s and Collier’s, and some receive interesting long distance calls—topics for conversation by all. Endless credit goes to Ruth Cropper, our president; Betty Brinsfield, vice- president; and Betty Richards, secretary- treasurer. Home Association meetings are usually held at 9:30, and everyone seems to at¬ tend in housecoats and curlers! Topics discussed are: keeping the dorm quiet from 7:00 until 9:30, unnecessary walking in the halls during this time, and visits to other girls’ rooms for little or no reason; but complaints are really few and good times are many—especially when some¬ one finds an unwelcomed mouse boarding in her waste paper basket, or “one certain girl” walks in her sleep! The real function of the Home Associa¬ tion is to make life more pleasant for all concerned. It does those so-called “little things” that help to make one’s life fuller. Thoughtfulness seems to be the motto. It is shown by the many flowers and cards that are sent. After a night of study and a floor-show by “Hut” and “Birdie” in the home cor¬ ner at 9:30, the lights are lowered and weary heads fall upon pillow, no doubt thinking of tomorrow and what mischief can be raised the next night. Yes the Home Association can well be named the “mother organization”. For the dorm girls it is as one big family where new friends are made and remembered always. 27 THE HOME CORNER —Left to right: Betty Richards, Betty Johnson, Miss Isabella Watters, Helen Cheezum, Ruth Cropper, Betty Brinsfield, Janice Hearne. The Home Corner It is here that the dormitory girls con¬ gregate. For what purpose.? Mostly to learn the latest gossip, listen to the radio, write letters (there is always a special fellow, one who is first in the heart, always on the mind, and forever in the dreams) or to hear a little jazz or dream music, according to the general mood. This is the scene of laughter, serious¬ ness, joy, and gloom. We all agree that the “home corner” is characteristic of its name. LAZY LAWRENCE - Dedicated to Dr. Cariithers, who never saw “Lazy Lawrence”. When I was a young-un on the farm, we worked! You boys today have an easy life, and you girls, too! We didn’t close the school because it was zero. We didn’t sit in the shade, when there were things to do. . . . Ever hear of dancing Lazy Lawrence.? No, I’ll bet. We didn’t admit we ever saw him, either, in the hay ’Cause the old folk would tease us and we’d be Branded—and this is just what they would say, “Anybody with time to waste lookin’ at heat waves Might as well be sittin’ in the shade snoozin’.” “Let her heat,” we’d say, as we’d compete with our elders.” And the sun would burn, and the perspiration was oozin’. Oh, you young-uns don’t know what an easy time you have! Modern inventions will be the ruination of you If you don’t remember Lazy Lawrence is still about Ready to put you in the shade with nothing to do. . . . —Angela England Smith 29 DRAMATIC CLUB —Left to right: Adelyn Hopkins, Helen Cheezum, Constance Messick, Iona Marshall, Charlotte Stafford, Dick Pollitt, Dorothy Melson, Audrey Stayton, Ward Jump, Mary Wright Silvey, Hyman Crandall, Robert Riley, Francis Hopkins, Nolan Owens, Martha Lihis. The Sophanes Players Lights! Curtain! Action! The Soph¬ anes Players are “at it” again. This time the play is “The Lost Elevator”, a comical story about an elevator stuck between floors and packed with occupants of varied and sundry character. The picture above was taken just prior to the first performance and shows the cast in the make-up stage. The dramatic organization of the school received its name from the Greek drama¬ tists, Sophocles and Aristophanes. Once a month, on the first Tuesday, the Soph¬ anes Players hold their meeting at 7:30 P. M. Under the guidance of Mrs. Lucy W. Bennett, the following officers func¬ tioned during the 1944-45 year: Mary Wright Silvey, president; Iona Marshall, vice-president; and Martha Libis, secre¬ tary. In a club like the Players, many prob¬ lems arise which can be solved more easily by a small group. Such a group, known as the executive board, is composed of the following members: the president and secretary of the organization, Carlyn Merryman, Marilea Powell, Helen Chee¬ zum, Nolan Owens, and Roger Beckwith. Certain things are expected of the 30 Sophanes Players during the year includ¬ ing an assembly program, a radio pro¬ gram, a play for High-School-Seniors Day, and usually the sponsoring of a dance in the spring. Last year, due to lack of funds, the Sophanes Players joined with the Baglean-Carnean Society to sponsor the dance. With the new year came the idea of using the available funds on cos¬ tumes, scenery, and make-up to fill the depleted supplies. At the monthly meetings the members look forward to the interesting programs, such as the freshman talent program. In¬ cluded on the freshman program this year were a piano solo, a dance, and card tricks. Perhaps the most outstanding talent revealed among the freshmen were mono¬ logues given at assembly. Several rooms of the college comprise the Sophanes Players work rooms. The meetings are held in room 126. Rehearsals take place in the Little Theatre or in the main auditorium. Active members dig and delve among the properties in the property and set room in the basement. The boys hammer and saw in the work¬ shop, and several members undertook the huge task of cleaning up and putting in order the costume room. n A DRAMATIC SCENE THE GHOSTS OF VANESSA, STELLA AND SWIFT Scene ' . The drawing room of the house in which Stella lived while in Dublin, Ire¬ land. Vanessa is the first to enter, fol¬ lowed by Stella and then Swift. Vanessa: (looking around hesitantly) Ump! Dust! I wonder if it was this dirty when she liv ed here. What’s this. (walks over to a portrait hanging on the back stage wall). Looks like a queer sort of character with those snappy eyes. Stella : (stands quietly in the doorway watching the prancing Vanessa). And who might you be that dares to enter this house and criticize so fluently the house¬ keeping? I shall have you know right now that when I lived in this house it could be dusted with a white feather duster and it wouldn’t even show the least bit of dirt! Answer me! Who are you? Vanessa: (It is evident that Stella knows Vanessa, but Vanessa does not know Stella). What is it to you who I am ? But since you are interested, I shall tell you what I want. Once long ago when I was quite young, I had the most wonder¬ ful lover. He was a brilliant man, in¬ terested in literature and history. He taught me many things, but before I died I found that he was not true to me. They say the other woman married him. This has haunted me so that I can not bear it! I came here to this house they said was hers in hopes that I could find out some¬ thing about her. Perhaps, if you are familiar with the house, you could help me ? Stella: That is a sad story. Reminds me of some trouble I once had with my husband. (She muses to herself). Could it be that. . . . ? No, no, she was said to be pretty. You are fat and dusty! Vanessa: (catching the last two or three words). How dare you to insult me in such a manner! One might think that you were a beauty yourself instead of a stack of bones hung together with grey leather! Stella: Now, who is insulting who? Oh! come, let’s not quarrel. Perhaps we can help each other find the things we want. I am hunting for a packet of letters my husband wrote me before we were married. You help me find those, and then I’ll help you with your search. (They begin to search through the drawers of the desk under the portrait. They are so busy they do not notice Swift as he enters and continue sorting and reading papers found in the desk). Swift: (slowly walking toward them). Well, hello, Stella and Vanessa. What brings you two together in Stella’s house? (Stella and Vanessa look up startled and then look at each other and stare. Stella is the first to recover.) Stella: Johnny! Oh, how long it has been since I last saw you! (She throws her arms around him and kisses him lightly on the cheek. Vanessa: Jonathon! (She continues to stare at him, but he pays no attention). Swift: (to Stella). Yes, my dear, it is nice to see you once again. Stella: Swift, you said this was Van¬ essa? Now isn’t that strange, I knew it, but she doesn’t know me yet. Vanessa: Stella? (pause) Stella!! (she begins to weep violently.) Swift: Oh, come now Vanessa, such carryings on. One is reminded of a child deprived of a pet toy! Did you not realize that I cared only for Stella and not for you ? Vanessa: I can’t bear it! I can’t bear it! Swift: Come, Stella, we shall leave and let her attend her own miserable self! She has caused enough trouble; I shall have no more of it. (They leave: Vanessa is crumpled on the floor.)

The Christian Association ' ' Grant me a sense of humor Lord The saving grace to see a joke To win some happiness from life And pass it on to other folksT Source Unknown To HELP achieve this latter objective, regular Sunday night vesper programs are sponsored. These are led by active student members of the organization. During these periods students are given an oppor¬ tunity to reflect on the beauty of music, art, and the meaning of true religion. Ministers of the town, faculty members, and students have all been very coopera¬ tive in making our programs a success. Of course, we find happiness in the Christian Association. To pass on this happiness, which tends to make a better and richer life we consider the social and spiritual enrichment of the school. Also toward the betterment of our lives, we sponsor informal teas to which both faculty and students are invited. Th is affords an opportunity for group socialization, and practice in the social graces. For variety the Christian Asso¬ ciation picnics are among the most jovial activities of the year. Nor have we forgotten our place in the great world struggle. Everyone has “Victory” as his goal this year. We want a victory to extend beyond military vic¬ tory. Therefore, we must accept the great educational and spiritual challenges being made by the war. The World Student Service Fund gave us all a chance to meet the needs. This organization sent to us Miss Judith Austin, one of its traveling secretaries, to acquaint us with their work which aids our own fellows in prison camps, and students of countries where education is now a tre¬ mendous problem. Our interests became aroused and we wanted to help such a valuable under¬ taking. After much study we set up an exhibit in the center hall and make person- to-person canvasses. Thus we found and accomplished our contribution to our fellow countrymen, who are prisoners; to our international friends; and to the greatest goal of all—Victory. Cooperating with other organizations, the Christian Association aided in retain¬ ing the standards of friendship set forth by the “pineapple”. The opportunity was afforded by the annual High-School- Senior Day which was held Friday, March 23. Many plans were made to make one of the featured events of the year a memorable occasion for S.T.C.’s high-school-senior guests. The welcoming of the seniors began with registration in the main office. Mr. Paul Huffington, assisted by Mrs. Rosalie Griffith, officiated. The guests then gathered in the main auditorium to be entertained by the Dramatic Club with its presentation of the one-act comedy. The Lost Elevator. After such a delightful appetizer, every¬ one cheerfully and willingly assembled in the Social Room for an informal reception preceding the dinner. The same atmos¬ phere of gayety that presided at the play also was evident in the Dining Hall. The seniors were given an opportunity to appreciate the rest of the building in a complete tour. Each dinner host escorted his guest from the kitchen to the class¬ rooms, dorm rooms, and other points of interest, leaving out nothing. The evening program then opened in the auditorium with a glee club perfor¬ mance of inspiring music. At last the great moment had arrived. Dr. Blackwell opened the eventful envelopes and the long anticipated names of S.T.C.’s campus leaders were announced. How very proud every person present felt for those honored by their classmates. Now that the suspense had passed, everyone was ready {turn to page 35) 33 Christmas at S. T. C. Most of the joy and traditions of the Christmas season have remained un¬ changed throughout these changing times. Perhaps it is this feeling of security that accounts for the communion and fellow¬ ship that has always been associated with the Christmas rites at S.T.C. Christmas at S.T.C. brings many traditions, customs that were established in 1925 by that first group of students who met in a ser¬ vice to perpetuate the spirit of Christmas. The holiday dinners, carolling, the deco¬ rated trees, and the candle-lighting ser¬ vice—all are traditions associated with the holiday season. This year, following the turkey dinner, a group of students journeyed to the Home for the Aged in Salisbury, blending their voices in Christmas carols to bring precious memories to those who need them. Later the college men and women met in the hall to await the candle-light¬ ing ceremony. Led by the Glee Club sing¬ ing “O Come All Ye Faithful,” the pro¬ cession filed into the social room past the large candle from which those students who lighted their small candles received the spirit of Christmas. Everyone caught the true spirit as, led by the Glee Club, they sang the beloved carols and listened to the first Christmas Story. Packages of toys, later to be dis¬ tributed to under-privileged children by the welfare association, were placed under the decorated tree by representatives of tbe college students and the campus school children. The true meaning of the spirit of Christmas lived in those small deeds of unselfishness and generosity. THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION {from page 33) to relax, and so for the next event all moved to the gymna¬ sium. Here was witnessed some of the feats of physical fitness achieved by men and women at the college under the super¬ vision of Miss Helen Jamart. The fioor ol the gymnasium was cleared for the final gala event. The orchestra tuned, and the dance was under way. Thus ended the great day and all agreed that the motto of the “pineapple” had been fulfilled. These and other objectives were this year fulfilled by the organization members and its officers, Jeanette Richards, Helen Adams, Grace Ewing, and Laura Clen- daniel, and its advisor, Miss Ruth Powell. 35 The Athletic Association “We want a goal! We want a goal!” That is a familiar call from the college spirited S.T.C.-eans on the bleachers, as during the year soccer, basketball, and baseball, the major sports of the year got under way. With the ending of the soccer season came afternoons of basketball drills. The last of the season found the squad minus one of its outstanding players, Ralph Nichols, who withdrew to enter the United States Maritime Service. Games with Easton and St. Michaels climaxed the season. The girls tied these teams on their home fields, while the men were on the little end of the score. As usual, spring means baseball and while all over the nation professionals were in training, our boys prepared to meet teams of the local league. Johnny Long and Nolan Owens on the mound and George Collins behind the plate are a strong threat to any opposing batter. Leadership for the Athletic Association this year was supplied by Miss Helen Jamart, advisor; Janice Hearne, presi¬ dent; John W. Long, vice-president; Betsey Clark, secretary; and Roger Beck¬ with, treasurer.

From the bulletin board we make our way up to the music room from which the strains of “Come to the Fair” greet us. This is just a typical Monday afternoon. This year the club selected as its ofihcers Norma Horsman, president; Ann Adkins, vice-president; Betsey Clark,s ecretary- treasurer; Elsie Vollmer, librarian. Miss Isabella Watters is ably filling the posi¬ tion of music director during the abse nce of Miss Margaret Black. Under the guidance of Miss Watters the Glee Club has participated in many activities during the year. Among these activities were broadcasts over WBOC; programs for parent-teacher meetings, one Rotary Club dinner, all High-School Seniors Day, and the County Superin¬ tendents dinner, a Sunday afternoon con¬ cert of Christmas selections for the public. A small group of select voices has per¬ formed on several occasions. Ann Adkins, Etta Lou Hopkins, Norma Horsman and Grace Ewing served as our soloists. Even rehearsals were fun under the direction of Miss Watters, who has proved herself capable of turning harsh tones into beautiful music with a few skillful strokes of her baton. Some of the selections we learned and enjoyed singing were “Onward, Ye Peoples,” “Come to the Fair,” “Sylvia,” “American Prayer,” and “The Spirit Flower.” EASTERN SHORE COMMUNITY CONCERTS Three times during the 1944-45 season the college auditorium has been filled with music-lovers from many parts of the Eastern Shore, who have thronged to hear programs by outstanding artists of the New York concert stage. These concerts are sponsored by the Eastern Shore Com¬ munity Concert Association, previous to this season known as the Salisbury Co¬ operative Concert Association, which has had as president since its beginning, Mr. William A. Sheppard. The Association is under the management of Columbia Con¬ certs, Inc., which submits names of per¬ formers. The final choice is made by the Artists’ Committee, headed by Mrs. William B. Tilghman. Opening the series this year on Novem¬ ber 8, 1944, was the Columbia All-Star Opera Quartet: Josephine Tuminia, coloratura soprano; Helen Olheim, mezzo- soprano; Donald Dame, tenor; and Wal¬ ter Cassel, baritone; with Archie Black at the piano. In addition to well-liked quar¬ tets from operatic literature, the singers rendered many enjoyable solos and duets. A return engagement brought Miss Olheim again on Eebruary 26, 1945. She was accompanied by Edward Harris at the piano. Miss Olheim’s program em¬ braced a wide variety of vocal literature, and delineated her abilities in a lighter type of song as well as in operatic arias. The final concert, on April 6th, fea¬ tured an instrument too little heard on the concert stage—the viola. In the hands of a real master, William Primrose, its possibilities as a solo instrument were ably demonstrated. Although born in Scotland and educated in London, Prim¬ rose has been in the United States since 1937, first playing with the N. B. C. Symphony, under Toscanini, and finally devoting all his time to concertizing. His performance was an insj)iring conclusion to the concert series. 39 The Camera Club “Don your coats and come on out!” “Why?” “We want to take some snapshots. I’ll meet you on the front steps.” Camera club members, as well as other students, have frequently heard this call through the dormitory or day student’s room. What do you think happened to these revelations of S.T.C. life? The Camera Club presented them to the faculty and students in the form of a bulletin board which reminded many of us of a dash to the store for that necessary “coke” or of afternoon outings on the campus. Many of these have also been used to represent the Camera Club in the Evergreen. The Camera Club meets the second Thursday night in each month. Some of the most interesting meetings have been those at which Dr. Shillinger gave demon¬ strations on developing and enlarging photographs. Other outstanding speakers were Mr. E. C. Winnie and Mr. Audrey Bodine. Mr. Winnie, speaking to the club at its November meeting, told of the necessity of correct lighting, the percent¬ age of light and dark objects, and the use of the various backgrounds. Mr. Bodine of the Baltimore Sun talked to the Salis¬ bury Town Camera Club and the State Teachers College Camera Club at a joint meeting in December. The Camera Club is a newly-formed organization which has gained recognition during the school year. Its officers are: Martha Libis, president; Jean Holland, vice-president; Margaret Kemp, secre¬ tary; and Norma Mills, treasurer. Dr. Anne H. Matthews is faculty adviser.

The Holly Leaf “We have to get this in Friday!” “About forty words more needed for page two.” All are familiar calls to staff members. They spend much of their time typing, copy reading, making dummies, and so¬ liciting ads along with many other jobs necessary for the publication of the Holly Leaf and the Evergreeyi. Formal meetings, if by any stretch of the imagination they could be called “formal,” were held in order for each per¬ son to report on his duty so the work could he seen as a whole. Sometimes arguments arose and were thrashed out and amicably settled. Anyway, everyone had a good time and did a heap of planning. The staff has attempted to reproduce campus activity truthfully and faithfully, and, in so doing has been guided by that state of uncertainty, of unsettled conditions, of fluid changes that have permeated our every thought and action. As is implied in the picture, the staff work does not put its members in the limelight. They do their work silently, insignificantly. College-mates, the Publications Staff whole-heartedly says, “It has been a pleasure to edit your college publica¬ tions.” 41 42 3 O tL 3 O H- 2 S S. c 5 3 Ui O O -3 03 U 3 a; __ 03 c 5 C« OJ C£ Ui 3 O- O E E • ■ -TD C E n3 o ' T3 CTI d c d , u. u O o c a; Sc •w r3 d d -C u U O 3 d -3 c 5 QJ 5= -o ■ 4 — 3 £i£ O -3 tl 4 — ' 3 U 3 c c2 o ' O 3 3 O 03 -o c 5 u v -3 E -3 V U 3 o, a c 5 _c c C rt OJ _c 12 tJO c 12 ’ rs o C O Q u -c •- c c = E « . 4-; OJ .- Oi-|_ C 5 c t- C qj Crt cn _ — ■ n E-£ w-o CJ $ O -c 2 “ {—. at £ O Z ai c 5 cx:! b4 X H The Laboratory School IDEALISM IN EDUCATION Social changes and changes in educa¬ tion are always interactive, and the re¬ sult is a mutual modification. In some cases social change is ahead ot educa¬ tional change; in others, education takes the lead and brings about a corresponding social change. This interactive process is desirable as it tends to foster a whole¬ some progress while at the same time it maintains a desirable and necessary sta¬ bility. This continuous interaction between these two great forces is governed by three fundamental ideas, or philosophies. The first is that education must recon¬ struct and redirect human experience. Children are to be encouraged to be crea¬ tive, to learn and grow in the light of their own experience. The method of educa¬ tion is to be experimental; the school pro¬ gram is to be flexible and hence subject to change. The teacher is the guide and is somewhat in the background rather than in the center acting as the main directive force. Procedure on this basis is known as the “New Education.” The second is based on a realistic philosophy, that is, nature has her laws, learning them, ac¬ cepting and conforming to them are of primary importance. The school seeks a body of authenticated facts, teaches these facts and teaches conformity and adjust¬ ment to them. This conformity calls for restriction hence discipline is of major importance. Habit formation is im¬ portant in the process of adjustment, hence it receives great emphasis. Educa¬ tional procedure on this basis is known as the “Old Education.” The third idea is based on an idealistic philosophy. The development and fruition of the personal¬ ity is the center of emphasis. Time is a great element in completing the person¬ ality. The ideas of the divine and im¬ mortality enter and receive attention. Education is only a means to the end that children become eternal. Procedure on this basis makes the moral aim of educa¬ tion prominent and it properly includes parts of the new education and parts of the old. The College Elementary School aims to maintain a wholesome balance between the three basic ideas. The child’s own experiences are important, a certain amount of conformity and adjustment to nature’s laws are desirable and inevita¬ ble. The idealistic, the moral, and the eternal constitute the ultimates and as such must be given emphasis. While we expect the idealistic aim to permeate all instruction and school ac¬ tivities throughout the year, the presenta¬ tion of “Why the Chimes Rang” by Ray¬ mond MacDonald Alden, constituted a special activity in idealism in which nearly all the pupils participated. The picture is suggestive of the values re¬ ceived by all who did participate. 43 CLASSES Freshman Freshman—Nurses Sophomore—Junior Senior September 12, 1944, following registra¬ tion the previous day, found the college students entering the classrooms to begin their courses of study for the year. The freshmen can be recognized by their utter confusion, the sophomores by that “wise fool” expression, and the seniors by their numerous books in preparation for stu¬ dent teaching. But there is yet another group, nurses-in-training, an innovation into our college program. In co-operation with the Peninsula General Hospital a course of study that is in accord with government regulations has been designed for nurses training un¬ der the plan of the United States Cadet Nurses Corps. These young women at¬ tend morning classes in anatomy, psy¬ chology, sociology, chemistry, and health education. In the picture below the Cadet Nurses are at work in the anatomy labora¬ tory. The enrollment of this group for the second semester was double that of the first. It is expected that the government program may be continued permanently.

The Freshman Class Every new year students start out with a clean slate, determined to work hard and get good marks, and we were no ex¬ ception, We were going to school to have a good time, but mainly to study and learn. Our first few days were outstanding for their anxiety, excitement, and thrill. Then came rat week, a week feared by all freshmen. We began to tremble and shake in our shoes as we didn’t know what was going to happen, and, accord¬ ing to past experiences by other freshman classes, almost anything could. And did, I expect we looked extremely comical to the upper classmen—the girls wore pig¬ tails and no makeup, and the boys wore rat traps hanging around their necks and a red ribbon tied around their faces. But we knew we could look forward to next year when we as sophomores could watch the newcomers. We will look back on that week as one of the highlights in our life. As soon as we were fairly well ac¬ quainted with each other, we elected our class officers: Denwood Bloodsworth, president; Ward Jump, vice-president; Charlotte Stafford, secretary; and Louise Smith, treasurer. From then on, our first year in college was in full swing. Even though we thought we were above the average freshman class, when marks came out, was our ego deflated! But it soon rose again. At Christmas the three classes sponsored a dance with Don Korte’s orchestra. You have never before seen such rug-cutting!! There are some people in this school who seem to have no bones at all! Exams began in the middle of January, and we were all so scared that out teeth were chattering. But we managed to pull through and are still livin’. Other dances, picnics—and w ' ork have followed. With the year over we can boast that w e have pulled through our fre shman year with lots of hard work and loads of fun. 45 A Sophomore Activity TEA AT TWICKENHAM I MAKE it a point never to refuse an invi¬ tation, and I was very pleased when Dr. Arbuthnot asked me to accompany him to Twickenham for tea Thursday after¬ noon. When the Doctor called for me, he had with him John Gay, a native of Devonshire, a most delightful companion. It is but a short drive out from London, and we arrived a bit early. True, Jona¬ than Swift was there, but he was at the time availing himself to Ope’s hospitality and had made his headquarters at Twicken¬ ham. I was much impressed by Swift, though I did not particularly like him. We entered the drawing-room which was rather dark and would have been quite gloomy except for the small hre glowing in the grate. My host, the Doc¬ tor, Gay, and Swift were all talking rapidly, and I had a chance to glance about me. The room was filled almost to overflowing with various ornaments and endless pieces of elaborate furniture such as were in vogue. In one corner sat a piano. Although this instrument has been in use for nearly a quarter of a century, it is still enough of a novelty to be a sure topic of conversation. Gay afterward told me that only three or four of the rooms were decorated in this manner; for the most part they had been left in the simple fashion in which he bought them. There were steps in the corridor, and William Congreve, Bolingbrokeand Daniel Defoe, and Richard Steele entered. I was introduced to all these, for having been in London but a short time I knew remark¬ ably few of our distinguished literary men. Several of them were members of the famed Scriblerus Club; all of them had been Pope’s guest many times before, and everyone made himself at home. Presently our host approached me, an¬ nounced that it would be at least twenty minutes ’til tea was ready, and asked if I cared to see the gardens. Knowing his enthusiasm for land-scaping and wishing to appear as agreeable as possible, I re¬ plied that I should deem it an honor to be escorted through the grounds. Accord¬ ingly, leaving the others up to their ears in a discussion on the Irish question. Pope, Dr. Arbuthnot, and I started on our tour. There were such an amazing number of devices for changing the natural land¬ scape as I never hope to see again in one garden! It seemed that wherever I turned my gaze I encountered some piece of statuary, or else a miniature temple, or a vineyard, a bowling-green, a grove, or perhaps a garden-house. Then Pope led us to the grotto of which I had heard so much. In reality this was a tunnel, the interior of which was enlivened by many mirrors fastened on the walls. The re¬ cesses were filled with hundreds of natural curiosities, shells, fossil bodies, and the like. I admired everything and finally ran out of adjectives to describe my won¬ der. As we walked across the lawn to the house. Pope suddenly snapped his fingers and stated that we would have tea on the lawn. He hurried ahead of us to tell the servants, and in a few minutes we found ourselves seated around a tea table under a large tree. Pope, knowing the extent of gentlemen’s appetites, always served tea in large thick cups, nourishing sand¬ wiches, and substantial slices of cake. The conversation was most amiable. The tea drinkers discoursed on affairs of the day and gossiped about the less cele¬ brated writers who often sought renown by ridiculing and discrediting their su¬ periors. Pope satirized his enemies with a polish and elegance I did not know- existed; occasionally he would point out some folly or weakness of society and would moralize upon that point. Arbuth¬ not constantly reminded us of the part books play in the {turn to page 61 ) 46 T ■ THE SOPHOMORE-JUNIOR CLASS — 1st row: Iona Marshall, Frances Potts, Bonnie Cummins, Mildred Hayman, John Long, Virginia Rounds, Elsie Tull, Frances Crockett. 2nd row: Nanetta Harrison, Laura Clendaniel, Lillian Hill, Helen White, Margaret Covington, Betty Brinsfield, Josephine Callahan, Martha Libis, Mary W.

Before we quite realized it, we had completed our freshman year and had become sophisticated sophomores. In June, 1944, we began our first ten weeks of summer school. Sometimes the days were hot and long, but never dull. There was psychology with its behaviorisms and environments, chemistry with its formu¬ las, odors, and reactions, studies of Homer and Plato in world literature, and sketches in art. We must not forget the picnic at Ocean City with its drumsticks, eggs, pickles, sandwiches, swimming, and rides and thrills on the dodgems, ferris wheel, and tilt-a-whirl! This was quite a memorable summer. September, 1944, found us back at our familiar surroundings. Soon the class officers were elected. John Walter Long, Virginia Rounds, Elsie Tull, and Mildred Hayman became president, vice-presi¬ dent, secretary, and treasurer, respect¬ fully. Then began the fun! “Rat rules” appeared and with these, pig-tails, un¬ matched anklets, name placards, mouse traps, and red and green ribbons. It was then that the sophomore girls proved they could initiate the incoming fresh¬ men despite a very acute manpower shortage. Those days will always be re¬ membered. Won’t they, girls. The tri-class dance of December 15 marked the highlight of the calendar year. All too soon the Christmas holidays sped by, and on January 3, 1945, the class again resumed its studies. Before we quite realized it, the day of “reckon¬ ing” arrived and examination schedules had to be executed. {turn to page 59) 47 s« - ' SS S l Ae fvts 0 ave A vpA • A. s 10 ' C e . e ' J As AO A e e ' ° J.;as A dua ' A d v easo ' A ' o ' i setvAce ot AO 10 oAW coWeS® v 0 vftAA ' C yaWO ibo ' S o ,ta e t ' lecv ' ' Ns V os ' vavo 0 ' heA Ae vtsA VO ' desAooo d.

Preceding the Student Conference for Maryland high school seniors, a meeting of each class is held for the purpose of nominating persons to be elected to these honors. In order to prevent selections from being a popularity contest, the Stu¬ dent Council and Publications Staff have set up certain qualifications for the Cam¬ pus Leaders. To be eligible for the final ballot a total of at least ten votes is neces¬ sary. A second ballot may sometimes be taken if neither of the candidates re¬ ceives a majority. Miss S.T.C. and Best All Around Man are the titles of highest rank. Because they merit equal recognition their qualifi¬ cations are similar. The individuals selected for this honor must have done something outstanding for the college and must have displayed qualities of leadership. Personal qualifi¬ cations include “character above re¬ proach, pleasing personality, trustworthi¬ ness, cooperation, and physical fitness.” Eloise Ball Hyde as honor student of her class, member of the Publications Staff, and past winner of an Achievement Key, was selected for this honor. Nolan Owens received the corresponding honor. Next in line, the May Queen must pos¬ sess the “very air of a queen in poise, THE SOPHOMORE {from page 47) The honor roll mem¬ bers at the end of the semester were Betty Brinsfield, Margaret Covington, Erances Crockett, Bonnie Cummins, Ma- rilea Powell, Mary Wright Silvey, Elsie Tull, and Charlotte White. Then our great monent came! We were accepted in the teacher-training pro¬ gram. Erom that time on, science experi¬ ments, lesson plans, star gazing (in geo¬ dignity, charm, grace, and beauty. She must also dress appropriately and neatly”. Gladys Brown Evans proved herself worthy of filling this large order. Of course, every queen must have an Escort, and he must be something special, too. He “must be handsome, have a pleasing personality and dress appropri¬ ately and neatly”. Eor the second con¬ secutive year John W. Long was selected for this position. Then, we honor our athletes. The Best Man Athlete and the Best Woman Ath¬ lete must be stars in the athletic field to the extent that they “participate regu¬ larly in the majority of sports, attend practice regularly and willingly and, in general, further the athletic interests of the college. They must be fair, skillful players and display sportsmanship at all times”. Janice Hearne and Roger Beck¬ with were chosen most outstanding in that field. Both are officers of the Ath¬ letic Association. Emphasizing still another phase of college life, Charlotte White was selected as the Most Literary. Naturally she “is acquainted with and appreciates good literature and is able to write an article of literary merit”. These two pages are dedicated to our leaders, past and present, who have car¬ ried on the traditions and duties of S.T.C. so well that their fellow students have deemed them worthy of honor. -JUNIOR CLASS graphy!) and research papers have kept us unusually busy. We were not too busy, however, to challenge the freshmen girls to a basketball game and win the gold trophy, only to lose it to them at a later date. Other equally important acti¬ vities have followed. We are eagerly anticipating the coming of next year when we shall become Seniors. 59 ACHIEVEMENT KEY WINNERS A senior who is deserving this year is Jeanette Richards. She served as the treasurer of her class and as president of the Christian Association. Another person receives a ruby in her achievement key. Betty Brinstield, editor of the Publications Staff and vice- president of tbe Home Association, earned the honor for her second year. Frances Crockett has certainly displayed willingness, de¬ pendability and efficiency this year as sbe bas ably fulfilled her duties as a member of the Publications Staff and as a repre¬ sentative of the Sophomore-Junior class on the Student Council. Congratulations Elsie, Audrey, Mary Wright, Jeanette, Betty, and Frances. It is with such persons as you that our college can receive acclaim! 60 This little key, marked by columns and the letters “S.T.C.,” forever remains a symbol of honor to the wearer. Six women students qualified for the honor, by being outstanding in scholarship and leadership in various organizations. For her efficiency as secretary of the Sophomore-Junior class and as a typist on the Publications Staff, this reward was given to Elsie Tull. The business manager of the Staff and a Freshman repre¬ sentative on the Student Council, Audrey Stayton, received one of the coveted awards this year. Again Mary Wright Silvey won the honor. In the key she received last year will be put a ruby to indicate her second year of worthiness. As accompanist to the Glee Club and president of the Dramatic Club she has displayed her abilities. Winners of Scholastic Honors During the past year, three students have worthily achieved scholastic leader¬ ship of their respective classes. The senior scholastic winner, Helen Cheezum, from Preston, is always ready with a helping hand and a friendly, encouraging smile. Not being a regular student, she is already the understanding teacher of a first grade on the Western Shore of Maryland. The sophomore-junior honor student has led her class scholastically two years consecutively. Mary Wright Silvey, bet¬ ter known as “Bozie,” is not only a tri¬ umphant scholar, but is also very active in athletics, dramatics, and the Glee Club. “Bozie” hails from Salisbury. The one who has taken top honors in the freshman class is a pleasant, dark haired and brown-eyed scholar from Den¬ ton. Ward Jump has found a place for himself in the Dramatic Club productions, the College Orchestra, and chemistry and physics projects. It has not been so easy to become a scholastic leader, for such an honor re¬ quires plenty of hard work and courage. To you who have reached the top of the ladder, we can only wish continued suc¬ cess in the world! A SOPHOMORE ACTIVITY {from page 41) physician’s profession, whereas Gay kept us all in a gale of merri¬ ment by his good-natured pranks and amusing remarks. Congreve 1 liked very much. He was an easy-going, unobtrusive fellow who enjoyed his friends and their conversation to the utmost. Swift, a member of Parliament, was inclined to be even more satirical than usual. Several of his remarks, however were most clever, and I repeated them to myself that I might write them down upon returning home again. Tea was almost finished when a car¬ riage occupied by tour handsome young ladies drove slowly by. We watched with increasing interest as they turned into the driveway and halted a few feet from our table. The eldest young lady ex¬ plained that their horse was almost lame and asked if Pope could help them. He replied that he would be glad to offer his services and invited them to partake ot the tea. Fragile china cups, dainty sand¬ wiches, and a fresh cake were brought forth. The talk changed to lighter topics: the theater, the newest favorites at court, my lady’s last party. Lord-so-and- so’s banquet, the fox hunt next Tuesday, and so forth. We whiled away a half hour in such agreeable chatter. Then quite unexpectedly, at least to me, the Doctor said we must be going and he would be glad to escort the young ladies home. (I discovered that they were the daughters of a wealthy family who lived near-by.) Poor Gay was left be¬ hind as the four sisters. Dr. Arbuthnot, and myself took our seats in the carriage. There was more conversation on the way back to town, and an already pleasant afternoon ended most delightfully. 61 Lunch in the Dining Hall It’s 12:05! The bell rings and class is dis¬ missed. Then comes the grand rush down the halls through the Social Room and into the dining hall where those tantaliz¬ ing odors increase our appetities. Standing behind the steam table and busily serving food are Emma and Viola with a smile and pleasant greeting for each of us. It is they who coax us to try some new dish or eat fresh vegetables because Social Activities Early in September a committee con¬ sisting of class and organization presi¬ dents and their advisers met with “Miss Ruth” to set tentative dates for the social calendar. The “getting acquainted” weeks were marked by the annual Ereshman-Parent- Eaculty dinner which gave certain mem¬ bers of the family a chance to look over the place that was to be our home and, also, to know our adopted fathers and mothers. Churches in the community were host to the college students at several they are good for us. Out in the main hall we converse with our friends and demonstrate that we are guilty of one of the deadly sins, gluttony. “Miss Ruth’s” food, however, is too deli¬ cious to resist. Eor posing for the picture on the op¬ posite page the students received extra portions for lunch; wouldn’t you liked to have been there dinners and parties. And who does not like to “trip the light fantastic. ” The Athletic Association sponsored the first formal dance of the season and at spaced intervals each class was host to their colleaques. Each time the gymnasium appeared in transformed garb to denote some holiday or special oc¬ casion. Informal Eriday night parties, festivi¬ ties which accompany May Day, and the usual activity on High School Seniors’ Day complete the whirl of events. 63 64 And The Day Shall Come . . ' ' There never was a good war; There never zvas a bad peaceT — Benjamin Franklin Peace, which few have dared to believe was near, and only the brave have spoken, is about to be realized. Peace, how sweet and solemn the word! This war came to Asia as early as 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria, and in less than a decade had also come to Europe. The Nazis, unhampered, marched into Austria, then into Czechoslovakia. The bombs that fell on Warsaw in 1939 burst all over the continent. France and Phigland declared war! Then, in June, 1941 Hitler made the fatal mistake of in¬ vading Russia. In our own United States we were pre¬ paring for a war that seemed inevitable. National defense, lend-lease for our allies and a two-ocean navy were motives for a gigantic production program. The Na¬ tional Service Act called men away from their homes to the defense of their country. December 7, 1941! Japane se bomb Pearl Harbor! The inevitable had come but in an unexpected manner. President Roosevelt called for a declaration of war not only against Japan, but also against Germany and Italy. This was TOTAL WAR! Europe’s problems were our prob¬ lems; Europe’s war was our war. Never before has American energy been mobli- ized to such an extent; those who could not fire cannon on the battle front rolled bandages on the home front. Military strategists have followed the policy ol defeating the enemy in Europe, first. The war against Japan, however, has not been neglected as can be evi¬ denced by the numbers of crosses which mark the graves of gallent Americans who fell on Attu, Saipan, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and other island landings on our march to the Jap homeland. More¬ over, MacArthur has kept his promise to the Filipinos and the Stars and Stripes flies over most of that recaptured terri¬ tory. Now, we come to the eve of victory in Europe. We pray that it will follow closely in the Pacific. With the advent of surrender come plans for peace. A meet¬ ing of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in August, 1941 clearly brought forth the principles which will be a basis for this peace. The Atlantic Char¬ ter voices freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from fear, and freedom from want as the hope of all people. Further foundations, all of which have not been made public, were laid at the conferences at Teheran and Yalta be¬ tween Marshal Stalin, President Roose¬ velt, and Prime Minister Churchill. In October, 1944 delegates from the Big Four countries, namely, the United States, Great Britain, China, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics convened at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D. C. to discuss and propose ways of maintaining security and world order. From this con¬ ference came the proposal of a world organization with membership by every peace-loving nation. Would this be suffi¬ cient planning. Would all the nations agree with the proposals. Smaller con¬ ferences have met at which the large pro¬ posal was discussed for suggested changes. At Chapultepec and at Bretton Woods there were discussions and meetings to reach conclusions and to prepare for a final session in San Francisco on April 25th. Here, it is expected that a charter for world organization will be written for adoption by the home governments of the delegates. This post-war planning is most signi¬ ficant. The world is not content to wait for the “unconditional surrender” to be¬ come an actuality, but rather prefers to anticipate the outcome and begin immedi- 65 ately to provide assurance that another generation will not find itself engaged in a similar strife. Our peace shall not be written in terms of hate, reprisal, territorial demands, or imperialistic policies. “It must be a peace in spirit of intelligent, mutual helpfulness and good will.” An informed public with absolute faith in the ultimate triumph of these basic principles are the best assur¬ ance that justice and security will again prevail. These two pages are dedicated to our great peacemaker and late president. 1944-45 Gale Sept. 11: Monday, Opening of College. Sept. 12: Classes begin.
