To the ideals and standards upheld by the students and faculty members of this college, who, through their leadership and interest, have contributed toward the progress of STC as a self-governing and self-sufficient insti¬ tution. Five PICCILCCUIE It is an American belief that democracy is the best form of government. In order to promote and uphold a democracy, a nation must educate its peo¬ ple to govern themselves. This education, Thomas Jefferson believed, could best be provided in our public schools and colleges. Education accepted this challenge, with the assumption that rigid supervision in the learning of the 3R ' s would assure a democratic citizen. Today a new philosophy for the education of a democratic citizen has arisen. This philosophy holds that one is not prepared for the democratic way of life merely by learning an enormous collection of facts, but rather by employing the principles of democracy in meeting the problems which everyday living presents. It was this philosophy which directed the coopera¬ tive efforts of students and faculty in 1943 in the establishment of the Student Government Association at this State Teachers College. It is through this organization that students have not only learned the ways of democratic procedure, but have also been able to provide for themselves a richer educational environment. The pages which follow attest to the capable direction of the S.G.A. during the 1948-1949 session. DR. J. D. BLACKWELL President, State Teachers College Salisbury.

The Appeals Court, which is made up of four students and one faculty member, is the determining factor in cases when judicial action is necessary at the College. COURT OF APPEALS Nine HOME ASSOCIATION Officers: Elizabeth Ward, president; Dolly Reuter, vice-president; Joyce Richards, secre¬ tary; Edith Rose Lynch, treasurer. The major purpose of the Home Association is to insure a desirable and friendly atmosphere for the dormitory women. With the Social Director as adviser, the association is a self-governing organization, making life in the dormitory adequate for all needs. “HOME CORNER — SECOND FLOOR WOMEN ' S DORMITORY Officers: Arlene Goslee, president; Ethel May Rankin, vice-president; Martha Thomp¬ son, secretary; Pauline Downing, treasurer.

Dr. May Twenty ii 111 iii Association S. T. C. ' s 11 ii in ii i Association During the past two years STC ' s Alumni Association has become rec¬ ognized as a functional part of the college. In 1948 the Association presented to the college an Honor Plaque bearing the names of Alumni members who served in World War II. The Homecoming programs each fall and spring have drawn together former students of STC from all over the country. In January, 1949, the Association, in cooperation with the Publications Staff, published an Alumni issue of the Holly Leaf, which was distributed to nearly one thousand members of the Association. Officers for the year of 1948-49 were: Marshall W. Moore, president; Polly White Burnett, vice-president; Martha White Duncan, secretary; Nolan C. Owens, treasurer, and Anna Jones Cooper, recording secretary. Mrs. Cooper, a librarian at the college, has been active in Alumni work for several years, and has contributed greatly to the promotion of the organization. Twenty-One Marshall W. Moore President, Alumni Association, 1948 - 1949 S.T.C. ' s CHEERLEADERS With another year well on its way out the Womens Athletic Association, under the guidance of Miss Helen Jamart, have paved an even greater path to the mythical Hall of Athletic Fame for S.T.C. Girl ' s hockey at this school has never proven itself to any real extent; but this year ' s turnout of hockey candidates is above that of previous years and might indicate a larger schedule of hockey games for the fall of 1940. Only two games were played this year; both with Wesley Junior College. The contests ended in a victory apiece. Basketball! This is where the girls are shining for they seem well on their way to re¬ peating last year ' s record with only one lossto date, and with at least a dozen or so wins. Ellen Parks, the bulwark of the 1948 team retained her fine form until her graduation in January, at which time Miss Jamart conditioned some of her scrubs in order to find a likely successor. Marion Dozier, a freshman, has been keeping about the same scoring pace as Parks and is expected to improve as she gains more experience. Barbara Leon¬ ard, tall trick-shot specialist, has also been playing a major role as has her teammate, the veteran forward, Ruth Cloak. Cloak has proven herself to be a very consistent player, and her absence will be felt with next year ' s team. Those veteran guards are not to be for¬ gotten, namely: Elinor Lynch, a seasoned four year varsity player, Barbara Pugh, with her high leaps to retrieve the ball, Annabelle Fooks, the quiet but dependable one, and a couple other guards of almost equal ability. Elinor Lynch will not return next year, and her unperturbed nature on the court as well as her clever defensive play, will be missed. Additional aid was rendered Miss Jamart and the Womens Athletic Association through the faithful efforts of Martha Jane White, manager of girl ' s basketball Martha Jane helped prepare the basketball schedules and assisted in a minor capacity with the coaching responsibilities. Elinor Lynch, ' president Alice F’ooks, vice-president Annabelle Fooks, Secretary Charlotte Lister, treasurer WOMEN ' S HOCKEY TEAM WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION BASKETBALL TEAM Twenty-Three With the enrollment at S.T.C. soaring to a new high, Coach Benn Moggs and his able associates (Tom Sterling, James Nelson, Joseph Udovich ,and Edward Holloway) were laced with a new problem. Their problem was to find some means by which they might best distribute so many athletically in¬ clined men in athletic activities with the insufficient financial aid allocated for the Athletic Association. The answer to the problem was next to impossible, but with the realization that immediate action must be taken they pul their heads together and event¬ ually mapped out a solution. The results of their endeavors have been quite satisfactory. Inspired by a splendid group of cheerleaders and good student turn outs, S.T.C. ' s soccer team rounded out their season with six wins, two ties, and one loss. The loss was suffered at the hands of the University of Maryland, but not without a terrific struggle. Next year, Maryland will be faced with a seasoned group of veterans, consisting of Captain Norman Moore, Clark Cugler, Levin Heath, Walt Pot¬ ter, Dixon Shahan, Tom Sterling, Gene Lilley, Joe Udovich, Dick David, and several other able booters. Their only lost talent will be that of Don Matthews. Coach Maggs is hopeful that this year ' s Junior Vars¬ ity soccer squad will have developed more candi¬ dates for next year ' s varsity. President — Thomas Sterling ' Vice-President — Walter Potter Secretary — Herbert Ryle Publicity — Joseph Udovich and Jimmy Nelson Cross-country helped fill out the fall sports agen¬ da. Although their season was besmirched with sev¬ eral losses, Guy Whidden, student coach, is confident that next year ' s harriers will produce a more im¬ pressive record. Dixon Shahan took time out from his soccer duties to lead his comrades over several grueling courses; his best performance being against the University of Delaware when he almost nosed out the Blue Men ' s ace runner over a three mile course. Kings College and the Baltimore Olympics, guest teams of S.T.C., were forced to admit that S.T.C. ' s course, although flat, was not easy to master. Another problem faced by our congenial Coach Benn Maggs was the winter sports offensive; almost as problematic as the famed Ardennes offensive. Be¬ tween fifty and a hundred dribble-inclined lads were anxious to display their skill in basketball. As there were only fifteen varsity uniforms, several sub¬ ordinate teams were organized. The Junior Varsity team was shaped up by Mr. Brennan, the Christian Association team, handled by Herbert Bradley, and the Dorm Association team by Bob Milan. Mr. Maggs devised a schedule by which all these teams could practice without conflict, and also allotted evenings tor each team ' s home games. Captained by Walter Potter, the S.T.C. Varsity struggled through one of their worst seasons, but showed remarkable improvement as the season pro¬ gressed. Several games were lost by narrow mar¬ gins. Walt Potter ' s skillful dribbling, aided by the shooting prowess of James Nelson and Hicks Brins- field, and the very determined guarding of Vaughn Knotts and Don Matthews, started to pay off before the close of the court season. As for the J.V. ' s their record was a little more impressive while winning ten encounters against only four losses. Washington College proved to be their greatest jinx. Clark Cugler, stellar guard, supplied a good deal of spirit with his never ending energies, while Warren Steere, John Nossick, Dave Pearl, Dick Wooten, Lloyd Walstrum, Dick Forrester, Ned For¬ sythe, and others contributed to the team ' s better than average accumulation of victories. Consisting primarily of dormitory members the S.T.C. Dorm Team had an unscarred schedule while winning the League Trophy. Gene Lokey ' s favorite pivot shot accounted for a large number of S.T.C Dorm Team points, with Everett Fuller, the team cap¬ tain, and Bob Travers affording further inspiration with their steady play. The Christian Association team reached the final play-offs in the Church League and were beaten by only a couple points in the elimination game. Shot artists, Harry Smith and Jim Coakley, kept their team on top along with the efficient assistance of Jack Payne, Fred Henderson, and Bill Long. Prospects for the forthcoming baseball season look rather cheerful at the time of this writing as there is evidence that last year ' s squad will be fur¬ ther strengthened with several promising candidates reporting for practice. According to Coach Maggs, there will be several vacancies without the services of Marshall Moore, Billy Dykes, Don Matthews, and one or two othe rs. Bill Waterfield, who unluckily sus¬ tained an injury early in the season last year, may return to his favorite hot spot S.T.C. will also be anxious to see the performances of Clarke Cugler, Tom Sterling, Lloyd Walstrum, and other old veterans. Track at S.T.C., tutored by Guy Whidden and Herbert Bradley is getting underway after making its initial debut last year at Washington College, at which time the local cindermen met defeat, but not without showing a great deal of their potential strength. Warren Steere captured several weight events while Bobby Fithian exhibited much grit with his pole vaulting achievements. Shortly afterwards, a better conditioned S.T.C. track team actually white¬ washed the only other State Teachers College track team in Maryland, namely Towson. Ned Forsythe sprinted his way across the tape ahead of his com¬ petitors in both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. His time for the one hundred established a new S.T.C. record of 9.8 seconds (not officially recognized). War¬ ren Steere heaved the javelin 178 feet to set another fine mark, while also taking points in the shot and discus events. Other firsts were taken by Dixon Sha¬ han in the one-half mile run and by Jimmy Wilson in the one-quarter mile run. The finfial count of this year ' s Baseball and Track season stacked alongside the fall and winter sports records will add up to whether or not Coach Benn Maggs and all S.T.C. students and outside rooters can consider this year as the most outstanding year in the athletic history of Salisbury State Teachers College to date.

The end of the road can now be clearly seen in the distance for the seniors of 49. After three years of waiting and wondering, the barrage of lesson plans, conferences and grade assignments descended. At last the many methods courses and psychology classes were showing their worth. For years to come, the senior year at STC will live in the mem¬ ories of the graduating class of ' 49. graduated January, 1949.

At this ceremony S.T.C. students extend feelings of good will toward others and uphold the old¬ est tradition of the College —- the lighting of individual candles from the master candle which was secured by Miss Ruth Powell for the College in 1925. The various procedures included in the ceremony began with the Col¬ lege when it was first founded, and they should always remain as customs for students and faculty members to uphold and enjoy each year at Christmas time.
