Theme With due respect to the publicity department of this institution we repeat a fact well impressed upon our minds. This year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-six, is the seventy-flfth anniversary of the founding of the State Teachers College at Shippens- burg, Pennsylvania. It has been with this in mind, that any material not concerned with the actual subject matter of a yearbook pertains instead to the seventy-fifth birthday of our Alma Mater.

Editofs Message It is with a sense of satisfaction and almost conceit that we are proud to present this yearbook to you. The basis of our satisfaction and pride is not that we consider this book to be an exceptional master- piece in the field of literature nor to be an entirely perfect collection of printed and pictorial material, but instead, a product compiled and presented during a period of suffering from the after-effects of a ravag- ing war. Added to a difficult post-war period weive also suffered from the usual distress of a limited budgetewhich, during an inflationary period is comparable to a motorless automobile. It lacks pep. Despite our inability to obtain essential materials, added to a shortage of incidentals such as an adequate monetary supply, we hope you will share the exuberance of those of us on the editorial staff upon the presentation of this yearbook-despite any shortcomings which may appear.
