THE COLLEGE LIBRARY STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE SALISBURY, MARY! awn MARYLAND COLLECTION Presented to the State Teachers College Salisbury, Md. Miss Ruth Fowell April 20 , i960 THE EVERGREEN 1948 THE COLLEGE LIBRARY STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE SALISBURY, MARYLAND Land of Evergreens EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND p ' -U 7 .976 n 54 -, I m i PUBLISHED BY THE PUBLICATIONS STAFF STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, SALISBURY, MARYLAND To the noblest of all virtues, service — which brings to the world the knowledge of the scholar, the vision of the dreamer, the ability of the scientist, and the industry of the work¬ man. No task is too lowly, no duty too ar¬ duous, no pathway too mean, for him who gives true service, from which comes the greatest of all rewards, the gratitude of thankful hearts. ' jf ENEROSITY, fidelity, and kindness to others, unknowingly, won Miss Ruth the love, the admiration, and the devotion of hundreds of grateful students during her twenty-one years of service at our college . Character is the foundation of the temple of success. Without it no suc¬ cess could be assured. Character is what we are, and what we are de¬ termines what we do. Good moral character is the first requisite in all teachers and the highest essential in all teaching success. No structure worthy of the name is built upon a shifting foundation, or reared upon un¬ steady pillars. It is even so with the temple of teaching success which is planted upon a firm foundation, and supported by a strong moral character. L © © © IE In the world of today there is an urgent call for leaders and counsellors to guide the people to mutual understanding and common peace. But before any great achievement can be made, the individuals must feel the sense of responsibility that goes in to the improvement of relationships and in the living of unselfish lives. There is a general feeling of unrest and aimless¬ ness running through all social groups which has resulted from the momentous decisions required in dividing the spoils of World War II. A sense of responsibility and the ideal of serv¬ ing each other has worn dangerously thin. Humanity is in des¬ perate need of renewed emphasis on these Christian ideals. Education is the fundamental principle by which new ideas or changes of mind can be brought about. In the institutions of higher learning, teachers must be trained to instruct in the fel¬ lowship of mankind. In the public schools, the youth of America must learn how to live with each other and how to equip them¬ selves to support a free world. Therefore, at a college such as ours, the training is two-fold. In a professional light, young men and women are inspired with high ideals, strong moral character, and the desire to become worthy citizens of the community. They are instilled with a pas¬ sion to -help boys and girls develop into worthy and whole¬ some men and women. Then, there is an opportunity to put into practice the advantages of democratic living through a strong student government, wherein everyone has a voice and a decision in the guidance of the group. Individual responsibility and self-importance are emphasized as the short cut to the es¬ tablishment of peace and contentment for the good of the majority. In our book this year we attempt to illustrate the fundamental organizations which help us achieve our training in democratic government and the greatest virtue of all humanity — service to others. 6 THE PRESIDENT DR.

' the power of democracy. 8 S.T.C. prides itself on having a government of the students, by the students, and for the students. Though only three years old, the Student Government Association has made far reaching strides. Every student in the college is a member. Each student is repre¬ sented on the Executive Board, or S.G.A. legislative body, by the many organization presidents. The Board allocates student funds, ap¬ proves all constitutions and their amendments, promotes student ac¬ . . Executive Board . . .

This year, S.G.A. has spc or aided three lasting p These features were: an Week , a dedication of r trees to S.T.C. war dead, bronze plaque and a m in honor of S.T.C. servicemen World War II. Through their ef¬ forts, S.G.A. members have realized one of their foremost aims—cooper¬ ative living. Student Election “Home is what you make it, would be a good motto for the Home Association. This women ' s organization is an excellent ex¬ ample of Student Government in ac¬ tion. The president and officers are elected by the students living in the dormitory, and in so electing these people, the women put the leadership in their hands. Discipline is carried out by appointed disci¬ plinarians, who enforce the consti¬ tution drawn up by the students of the Association. Any and all changes are consequently made by the students, subject to the approval . . .

This is the third year for the Home Association as a vital part of Student Government. With the increased enrollment, the president, Jeanne Parsley, and her officers have done an excellent job in see¬ ing that the dormitory life is whole¬ some and homelike, and that the women in it are happy. Without this organization much of College life would be missed. Its absence would be sincerely felt by the college and its students. . . . Chores The commuting students at State Teachers Colleqe find in the Wo¬ men ' s Day Association that unifying element which makes each student feel that she is a part of the stu¬ dent society. Here the non-resident students make many ot the contacts and friendships which promote a happy college life; here, too, is an¬ other channel through which these students may function in determ- ing the policies of the Student Gov¬ ernment Association.

A gayly decorated tree, laden beneath with gifts, and rows of bulging stockings marching down one wall set the stage for an old- fashioned party, with packages for everyone. The group was thought¬ ful of others at this time, too, and several baskets of delicacies, toys, and canned goods were piled high and donated to needy families in Salisbury. . . . Day’s Done s nCMM President . Richard Linthicum STC men have needed a place to hang their hats and smoke in corn- tort for many years. This year that need has been fulfilled through splendid cooperation of the admin¬ istration and the Men ' s Association. All remodelling and painting has been done by volunteers and The Men ' s Lounge, alias College Band Room, is something to be proud of. This was another of the many worthy improvements made by the Student Government Association during 1947-48. . . . Aimlessness ■ • . Officer’s Confab Vice-President . Larry Henry Secretary .

Finally, the new men ' s dorm was completed and was occupied at the beginning of the second se¬ mester. The Men ' s Dorm Associa¬ tion became a very important part of the Student Government Associa¬ tion and with the influx of veterans and older men marked another step in the continuous growth of the col¬ lege. Adjustments and regulations were made to accomodate and to provide a home-like atmosphere, yet to effectively establish standards of student rule. SOPHMES PLAYERS President .Zach Jaquett Vice-President .Ruth Cloak Secretary ....Martha Jane White Treasurer .Bill Barth The role played by the dra¬ matic club, t h e Sophanes Players, in promoting school spirit and in presenting the community and student body with a picture of college func¬ tions is a most important one. In cooperation with the Cos- mophonic Society and Music Department, the club presented a pageant of the birth of Christ during the Christmas season. An unforunate cir¬ cumstance concerning the try¬ outs for the scheduled play, “The Black Flamingo , pre¬ vented the Club from giving a major production. • . . Prep Room Religious worship furthers an education in brotherhood and in tolerance. In the world of to¬ day there must come to every¬ one an inner urge or drive to do good and to live with others peacefully and cooperatively. Through the Christian Associa¬ tion the students at STC learn and practice these principles. Do¬ ing its part as a growing mem¬ ber of the Student Government Association, the Christian As¬ sociation has contributed its part by providing social teas, evening picnics, and other social events. Religiously, the Association con¬ ducts Sunday evening vespers and early morning vespers. These activities give the stu¬ dents a chance to continue broadening their religious in¬ terests. . .

As Dr. Fleming stated, We are striving for better if fewer as¬ semblies. Great emphasis has been placed on publicity. Schedules for coming programs have been made at the beginning of each semester.

Under the direction of Miss Mary Annette French, the Chorus has participated in several outstanding activities, including a program of Christmas carols broadcast from WBOC, and an outstanding selection o arols for the Christmas pageant presented by the College.

Broadcast With the changing world today there is much to be discovered and understood; this can only be ac¬ complished through an organization which sponsors discussions on con¬ temporary problems. The Baglean- Carnean Debating Society, a com¬ bination of the old Baglean and Carnean societies, provides a bet¬ ter background of knowledge for its members through the fulfillment of its purpose— to discuss freely our contemporary, local, national, and international problems. The Social Committee, a group of students acting for the Student Gov¬ ernment Association, has seen its second year ' s growth. The Chair¬ man of this Committee, Jean Dal¬ lam, was appointed by the Social Director, as were the two members from each class. Their chief func¬ tion is the scheduling of social ac¬ tivities for the school year. This year the Committee arranged for a number of formals and in¬ formal, teas sponsored by different school organizations, reading ma¬ terial for the social room, materials for bridge players, records for in¬ formal dancing, sports equipment, and in general, the handling of class funds which are allocated to the Social Committee for disburse¬ ment. � , .

May Editors Confab A story of college activities Staff Meeting 21 Pictured at the top are those six peppy cheerleaders of S.T.C. — and they had plenty of reason to cheer as the girls ' var¬ sity basketball team rolled over every college opponent on its schedule. It was the most successful team in the history of girls ' sports at S.T.C. Picked as underdogs in almost every game at the first of the season, the sextet proved themselves worthy to be reckoned with, respected by their opponents, and back¬ ed by the school. The hockey team suffered a curtailed season of only two games. They battled Wesley College to a 0-0 deadlock at home, and lost 5-1 at Wesley in the re¬ turn gam e. In February the girls began practicing for the annual Seniors ' Day. It finally arrived, and Miss Jamart ' s charges put on an exhibition of dances and gymnastics which surprised and delighted not only the guests but also the college students. Throughout 1947 - 48 the so-called weaker sex ' ' at S.T.C. has done much to prove that woman ' s place is not neces¬ sarily in the home—that they can also hold their own on the athletic field.

Jamart Champs Basketball Hockey Team Parallel Bars Worko u t Shoulder Stand MENS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President .WALTER POTTER Vice-President .MARSHALL MOORE Secretary .JIM CLARK Treasurer .TOM STERLING Through the combined efforts of Coach Benn Maggs and his student associates, S.T.C. ' s post-war sports program rose to even greater heights during the past school year. Unaccustomed sports were encouraged to an unparallelled extent and, although in their infancy, their permanency in the S.T.C. sports curriculum in the future is almost assured. Originating with the introduction of intra¬ mural track during the spring of 1947, the 1948 track squad led State Teachers College for the first time into intercollegiate track competition. Cross-country was introduced last fall but failed to develop to a degree where it could safely challenge rival col¬ leges, but next fall may bring forth a group of harriers capable of competing with rival schools. Men ' s A A Plan a Sports Program Coach Maggs At the conclusion of the soccer season, S.T.C. had attained even greater prestige in the realm of sports with Coach Benn Maggs rounding out a team of potential cham¬ pions. Their only loss was suffered at the hands of a much larger school, the Univers¬ ity of Maryland, which ended S.T.C. ' s win¬ ning streak of 8 games. Although the Basketball Team suffered several set-backs, it seems quite apparent that the greenness of a majority of the active players is bound to ripen by next season and bud forth with more wins to greet their loyal fans. To those who compose the Men ' s Athletic Association and to many others who have contributed toward the advancement of sports at State Teachers College—we, the students and all other loyal rooters, wish to express our deepest gratitude.

The activities of the F.T.A. are valuable to both teacher and community. Its mem¬ bers, prospective teachers from the Junior and Senior Classes, subscribe . . . Latest Trends to various professional magazines and also keep a bulletin board of clippings with current educational trends. This year through the interest and hard work of its officers, its mem- . . . FT A Projects bars, and the faculty, F.T.A. has widened its activities in construc¬ tive projects. Recreation work at the Wicomico County Children ' s Home; faculty-student assemblies to discuss teacher ethics, selection of teachers, and other problems vital to the future teacher; observation and work in the campus school; and the sponsoring of a spring program which added beauty to our college campus have given to its members satisiaction, understanding, and valuable experience. -U V-UV.US o, , % .

This Senior Class was very much af¬ fected by the college reconversion program from a wartime three year curriculum to a regular four year schedule. Seniors who appeared in last year ' s Evergreen graduated in February; the five men of the regular class graduate at the close of the sec¬ ond semester; the remaining twelve women graduate next February. Reg¬ ular graduation exercises for the first two groups were held in June, 1943, while ceremonies for the last group will be held in June, 1949.

TOMMY YOUNG 62 • • • At the first of the year the Freshmen, or Rats, received most of our attention, but soon our fancies changed to open- book tests, history book re¬ ports, and other intellectual interests. It wasn ' t necessari¬ ly our choice, but frequent lectures on professional eth¬ ics and requirements promp¬ ted our new understanding. We were willing to search for knowledge that would help us in later life, and we wanted to participate in the finer things of life on the campus. Our ideas and phil¬ osophy of life changed more and more toward the end of the year. More and more de¬ cisions were reached on our life ' s work. We made up the largest class ever to matricu¬ late in the field of teaching at our college.

Their technique of indoctrina¬ tion was so successful that we didn ' t have time to acquire homesickness. It wasn ' t long before classes and activities became routine and we be¬ gan to understand and meet our obligations of college work. Suddenly, we, Frosh, became club - conscious, whether it was art, music, dramatics, photography, or education. There was a place for all of us, and we were determined to do our part— support the student interests, the Student Government As¬ sociation.
