Many had a bigger iob to take care of before starting on their higher education. That job did its part in proving us worthy. The last four years here at T. C. have done much to show that we who remain are capable of the iob before us. We have surmounted the many obstacles that have confronted us as larger classes entered Teachers College. How many had scoffed at the idea of men teaching the lower grades and are now resting assured that they can do as well with the first grade as they could a Junior High group? How many doubted that men in any num- bers would even remain in elementary edu- cation? Students and faculty have worked to- gether in adjusting the curriculum of a changing collegep we have all done our best to secure a new campus for our ever-increasing numbersy we are now sending forth the first graduates in our new maior fields. We have done much in the last four years to change the outlook of the schoolp now as the class of '50 leaves T. C. for the world of which we all shall become so much a part, let each individ- ual take with him the thought that: THE FUTURE I MAY FACE NOW I HAVE PROVED THE PAST.

Thy name is with us as we go our ways, May we be worthy of thy noble grace. O Alma Mater, this our hymn shall be That we may honor thee with all our loyalty. Thy ivied walls we cherish and revere, Herein great truths and knowledge we may learn That our fond hopes and aspirations dear ln service true may commendations earn. O Alma Mater, this our hymn shall be That we may ever teach with true sincerity. The golden seasons roll, the years advance, Mem'ries of thee in all our hearts will cling These ioyous days return in glad remembrance. Then once again our love and praise we'll sing. O Alma Mater, this our hymn to thee Fame, honor, truth, and our complete fidelity. Ruth Longstaft 4 Am My'iob is my hobby, states President Samuel M. Brownell, his eyes twinkling as he speaks. Dr. Brownell's rapid ascent in the field of education clearly illustrates his firm belief in these words. Tracing his impressive record from its beginning in Peru, Nebraska, one finds his history includes an A.B. degree from the University of Nebraska and the attainment of Phi Beta Kappa. He had prepared himself to follow in his father's academic foot- steps as a science teacher and, upon graduation, became prin- cipal of the Demonstration High School at Peru State Teachers College. Dr. Brownell acquired his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at the Yale Graduate School, and subsequently held responsible positions in education in Michigan and New York, culminating in a full professorship at Yale University, a position he still holds. He first served New Haven State Teachers College as acting president in 1947, accepting a permanent presidential appoint- ment the following year. Even vacation periods are devoted to academic pursuits, as Dr. Brownell has presented summer lectures at many prominent universities. Further testifying to his job-hobby correlation, he has written some 30 articles on education and has participated in many school surveys. Other free moments are devoted to music, reading, and his family. Married in 'I927 to Esther Delzell of Peru, Nebraska, Dr. Brownell's family includes four children- ranging from a Yale iunior to a kindergarten freshman. New Haven students may well find Samuel Brownell's own success inspiring them to meet the challenge he presents when he cites his pet peeve as failure to achieve when the ability is there. 6 PRESIDENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL VELMA D.

A New Haven State Teachers College senior class is completing its college work and preparing for its commencement. But this is not iust another class our class - the class of 1950. Four years ago this began, and it is studded with memories of friends, places, classes, teachers, work and play. This brief review of major events and memorable achievements records these memories and, if the past gives any indication of things to come, promise of an even more splendid future. Come now and glance back at a few of the fields of endeavor in which the class of 1950 has distinguished itself. SCIENCE Other colleges proudly boast of their research in great scientific problems, but T. C.'s contribution to scientific knowledge is not widely advertised. We feel our vital experiment concerning air pressure, using as equipment an egg, a milk bottle and burning paper, is of great importance. Should this experiment ever chance to fail, one can always eat the egg. ART What senior has not his private art gallery filled with his own work? There hang original stick figures, rounded figures, compositions, posters and, most cherished of all, a self portrait in charcoal. Or perhaps these great works have been lost to posterity and live only in the artist's mind? MATHEMATICS Every senior can remember his struggles with x2 y3 z5 but many recall freshman bouts with the googalplex and one, two, three, dog, dog, and one. From logarithms to estimations, T. C. mathematicians have figured their way. DRAMA New Haven has long been known as a cultural center, and the performances at T. C. have added to its fame. Long shall we remember the shows put on for us by the Drama Club - Ramona, Curse You, .Iack Dalton, Lost Horizon, and Jenny Kissed Me. Work of present senior actors and crews has been outstanding. I4 ENTERTAINMENT What fun we've had! The freshman reception - l'm sorry, I didn't get your names - the senior shin- digs where everyone knows everybody. Many future chorus lines will draw inspiration and form from that most attractive chorus line at the iunior banquet. SPEECH The class of 1950 was a most ambitious class. Not content with playing Shakespeare and other artists, many improvised notable works based on the great bard. Strike the flagstaff deep, Sir Frosh. You'll need it to hold on to. Hah! Dost thou make a x knocking noise. Coulds't be thy knees? Speak the speech I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, or mayhap you'd like an F? From this class have come many great speakers from whom we hope to hear much in the days and years to come. is SPORTS We can never cease to admire and praise the splendid work of players, coaches, and all who helped the football team reach the great success it experienced in the senior year of the class of I950. In a few short years T. C. has made a fine name for itself in sports. Basketball, baseball and football teams were made possible by the large number of men in the class of 1950. The many star athletes of these years will long be remembered with pride. GOVERNMENT During our stay at T. C. a dream has become reality, a dream that some day the State of Connecticut would allocate funds for a new college. The first attempt to pass House Bill IOO failed but paved the way for a more vigorous campaign which succeeded. We look for- ward to alumni meetings in a splendid modern build- ing where we can proudly say- We helped. CREATIVE WORK No chronicle of senior achievements would be complete without mention of the final proiects we completed, including an original song for music, chiIdren's stories, puppet shows, and term papers galore. Many of these songs, stories and shows were very good, of artistic merit - that is, we liked them. Indeed if the fine work of the Class of 1950 at Teachers College is an indication of future successes, we can feel certain the field of education will wel- come its members. Memories of friends, good times, and jobs well done fill our minds and give us promise that the Class of 1950 can look forward to its future with assurance. Mary Reardon Marie Reitano IRMA M.

Allene Lago AJR, , , , CDUCATIUU BARNARD SCHOOL Barnard School, located on the corner of Derby Avenue and Boulevard, has long been one of the training schools attiliated with the Teachers College. At Barnard the student is always a welcome visitor as well as an integral part of the school administration. The atmos- phere at Barnard lends itself to encouragement for Teachers College students. The students in the '49-'50 classes have appreciated Miss White's graciousness for allowing the students the use of the nurses' many will remember the lunch picnics out under those comforting shade trees on the warm late room as the Luncheonette and Loll-around Corner.

Field days at Edgewood park were fun, even though the pupils didn't always stay in line and there was always the fear that someone would break a limb or at least ruin his nose. Our experience with the many pupils who were so recently displaced persons has been extremely pleasant as well as enlightening. Who can help but appreciate their own coun- try and their own language the more after having worked with a child such as this? Here at Barnard School we cannot help but feel thankful for the teachers who, being en- dowed with unending patience, have aided students year after year to reach their goals. Student Teacher - Miss Elaine Peters 'udent Teacher-Miss Carmela Vodola IVY' Grade ll ln close proximity to the busy Winchester Arms , and covered with climbing ivy, we find the Ivy Street Training School, a training school for the first time this year. As one enters these portals, one cannot help but be impressed with the genuine feeling of warmth that prevails throughout. Not only is the faculty one of high- ly trained teachers, but also unique inasmuch as they are representative of the four corners of the world, namely, Japan, Hawaii, New York, Boston and Washington, D. C. The school is rather large, with 18 rooms, with plenty of windows to let in that good fresh IVY SCHOOL air. An audio-visual aids room is located on the lower floor and also a fine student-teacher lunchroom. The happy shouts of the children can be heard at almost any time, emanating from the playground that is located in the rear of the school. Remember the feature article in the New Haven Register , Mr. Lowe's photography album, and the sixth graders iaunt into iour- nalism? Welcome to the fold, Ivy. May the teachers you produce ever refiect the knowledge and spirit that you may have instilled in them.

Or, if you are of a later era, lunch at the Dairy- land, topped off with a Moron's Delight for dessert - and even more recently, carry your own to Julie Kogen's Korner and wet it down with coffee. lf, by any chance, training period memories are about something besides food, you're prob- ably thinking of the wonderful friendliness in the school, between teachers and students alike.

You recall, too, the mud puddle in the small yard when it rained, the fence your boys used to climb to retrieve balls, even though it was quicker to walk around it, and the first graders taking walks in the fresh snow. You remember overhearing a kindergartener ask Miss Zorn for How to Fight by Joe Louis, the story hours in the library, and the fifth grader who said l don't like non-obiective art, l've been a realist since second grade. You think also of the caroling in the hall at Christmas -- you remem- ber Roger Sherman School. ROGER SHERMAN Student Teacher-Mr. G. Wesley Worthmgtc Student Teacher-Miss Allene Lago SCRANTON Kindergarten Training is fun at Scranton School on the corner of Orchard and Scranton Streets. The friendly cop on the corner to see that the chil- dren cross that last formidable street safely, Mr. Wes's concern about how you are get- ting along, a kitchen to use in connection with an experience unit fapplesauce is easy yet can keep thirty youngsters interestedjp the Branch Library so near you don't mind getting twenty books for the room library to stimulate each child's interest, a room for student teachers, the aroma of soup and coffee from the teacher's room, Miss Blunt's helpfulness - all these things go to making Scranton a pleasant place to train. The teachers are friendly and helpful whether you are their assistant teacher or some- one else's. The children have all the energy, interests, and problems of any group of kids, and you have learned a lot when you find yourself a real leader and teacher to them. Thanks to Scranton and its people, we are better prepared to do our part as we go out into the teaching profession.

Majors could beat this? are domg' Ask 'lane Romano f' Ruth Steinmueller, or Trudy The smallest class of the major groups in a gram generally misjudged as the easiest has proven its worth in many ways. Frantic train- ing students find their work a little easier when they know where they can find Little Moe and the Circus in their lunch hour. The Library Science Majors have also done a Herculean job of recruiting. Five juniors for each graduating senior now are convinced that double certification in school or public library work and in the classroom, grades one to six, is the best way to a good future, and the high schools haven't been missed by recruiting teams either. A special day is set aside for a library recruiting tea. lf future Library Science Majors do as good a job, we'll have a larger library program, and there will be a much better representation of school librarians in the state. Miss Beatrice Smith of Hamden High School and T. C.'s own excellent staff at the college make the best of training teachers. The first Art Majors to graduate as a separate group under the new program have an enviable future. They are doubly-certified for teaching art in the elementary and secondary schools and, through taking extra courses, for teaching grades one to six.

Then, of course, the second-floor Art Gal- lery has had the honor of exhibiting, for the first time, paintings by names that may here- after be included in the Art Appreciation lessons! The precedent set by this first class in pre- paring decorations for the annual faculty Christmas party is a high mark for future Art Majors to aim at, so - for past and future achievements - good luck! All this would not be possible without the help and guidance of the special training teachers: Mr. Henry Linehan, Hamden High School, Mr. Louis Crisenti and Miss Ruth Youn- german, East Haven High School, Mrs. Florence McKee, Wilbur Cross High School, Miss Anna Isaacs and Mrs. Margaret Bronson, Troup Junior High School, Mr. Frederick Fay, New Haven High School. Some of the Physical Education Majors jumped the gun in this initial program. By doubling up on classes and getting transfer credits, a few graduated last year. This class is the first to complete the full four year program. Qualified for teaching physical education and health, and also for grades one to six, the P. E.'s will probably make all-stars out of their classes in the true collegiate manner. After all, weren't they the first T. C.-ites to have classes under Yale professors? So, let's see the future Physical Ed Majors trying to match the record of this first class and we don't mean in number of push-ups! Physical education training teachers are Miss Ruth Greenwood, Hillhouse High School Miss Mary Benevento, Mr. Thomas Degnan, Wil- bur Cross High School, Miss Yoda Bouzoucus East Haven High School, Miss Josephine Psaff West Haven High School, Mr. Raymond Hart- man, Troup Junior High School, Mr. Allan Zim- merman, Sheridan Junior High School, Mr. John J.

Next to the seniors who will be graduating, the iuniors are the supreme beings at the school. Two hundred strong, they flock through the build- ings and overflow onto the campus. Originally, as freshmen, there were two hundred sixty-five mem- bers in the Class of 1951, but time has lowered the number. At first, the class didn't seem to be united this year, as most of the students were employed after school and rushed home to their iobs, but as training drew nearer and things became more Hectic lwith a capital HJ the bond of common fatigue drew them together. The incident which fused the bonds of union was the class ring controversy. Seems the Student Council decided that the pres- ent college ring should be standardized but there was some obiection from the junior members of the Council, Frank Gentile, Sybil Matlaw, James Rogan, Letty Ann Salperto, Mike Nicefaro, Bob Avery, Al Roshka, and Virginia Quirke. Suggestions were made as to new styles that might be adopted and stand- ardized and a poll as to the feeling of the entire student body was taken by the Student Council. From these results the student representatives Celected from the Councill knew exactly the feelings of the present students when they attended a meeting called by Dr. Brownell.

Otficers, who are leading this class on its varied course are: Jack Mooney, President, Dick Mahakian, Vice-President, Dave Prothero, Treasurer, Dorothy Klinski, Secretary. In the training schools the iuniors are leaving an unmistakable mark. This, the largest class to ever train at one time, means four students training to a room. The uninitiated can't realize what this means unless they have tried it. Trying to control a group of children when they have an audience of three other appreciative persons is a harrowing experience, to say the least. The iuniors will long remember the little boy who fought off four brave and true 5'l'ers who weren't sure whether to give up or pin his ears to the wall. As for social life, the iunior parties, dances and divisional get-togethers were usually more of a spon- taneous nature than anything else. At one party, they elected a queen and Johnny Pine fthe lucky guyl was allowed to kiss her. The blushing maiden was led onto the stage and turned out to be our own John Ciarleglio, the boy with the Italian name, but lrish heart. Much more could be written on them if there were space lwhich there isn'tl, but we will promise that more will be heard from this, the class of '5'l.

SOPHOMORES The sophomore class promises to be- come one of the outstanding classes ever to enter Teachers College. Their sociabil- ity will make them long remembered in many minds. One of the friendliest parties ever held at the school was the freshmen reception sponsored by the sophomore class. The sophomores acted as real hosts to the new people in the college and helped them get acquainted quickly through a program of dancing, entertain- ment, and group singing around the piano. The sophomore picnic at the estate of Sponsor Pauline Schwartz on October 'l3 was a highlight of the fall activities. Everyone brought his own lunch and had a lot of fun cooking around the open fireplace and even eating a little char- coal and ashes. Besides food, the main centers of attraction varied from base- ball, touch football and horseshoes to social and barn dancing in the garage with Bob Evans doing the honors with his twangy calls. This is the class that was first intro- duced to the required course, Personal Problems in Family Living, and needless to say the books for the course that were put on reserve received more than their share of attention. The reception of this course was varied, but it is generally felt that it is a must. Leadership of the class falls to the fol- lowing officers: Dominic Mas, President, James Kelly, Vice-President, Rae Damato, Secretary, Joseph O'Conner, Treasurer. ln addition, Art Colley, Inge Heineman, and Rose DeLuca were elected to the Student Council. Harold Rehnberg is an honorary member of the Student Council as editor of the school paper, the Laurel Leaf. The sophomores also seem to have a fair control of the student finances of the school with Steve Montgomery as treas- urer of the Student Council and Art Col- ley as treasurer of the Athletic Asso- ciation. Mr. Francis Degnan and Miss Pauline Schwartz are proud of the class they are sponsoring and the class is thankful for their sponsors - after all, what would they do without Miss Schwartz's estate and Mr. Degnan's sense of humor?

FRESHMEN The freshman class made the first noise of their career at New Haven State Teachers College when they started their search for their first class officers. The largest class ever to enter Teachers Col- lege had twenty-eight candidates nom- inated for the positions of president, vice- president, secretary, treasurer and secre- tary of the Athletic Association, lthis offi- cer always coming from the freshman classl. After primary elections to reduce the number of candidates to three for each position, regular elections were held on November 'I2 under the supervision of the Student Council. The freshman class showed a good response with 80 per cent of the class voting in a maiority for the following candidates: Robert Bottomley, President, Leo McNamara, Vice-President, Marcia McCarthy, Secretary, Robert John- son, Treasurer and Margurite Nastriani, Secretary of the Athletic Association. The voting was very close with Presi- dent Bottomley winning by only six votes over his nearest rival, Jim Duplese, while Miss McCarthy won in an even closer contest with a five-vote margin. The election of Anna Pepe, V, Jo-Ann Costello, Vl, Robert Bottomley, Vll, Jock McCarthy, l, Jean Marcus, X, to the Stud- ent Council was very much overshadowed by the general election of officers. The freshman class's social education was introduced first by the freshman re- ception sponsored by the sophomore class and held in September at the Y. W. C. A. lt certainly proved fun to meet all of one's classmates at once. The freshman Christmas party, Decem- ber 16, again at the Y, was one of the outstanding Christmas parties sponsored by any group in school and did much to assure a good beginning to a well-round- ed college career. Class sponsors, Mr. J. Floyd Hennington and Mrs. Dorothy Lockrow, did much to help them through their first difficult year at New Haven State Teachers College.

V nr GH Ll A ...M Q T. C. Quoting from the New York Herald, the Howe Street building of the New Haven State Teachers' College is one of the handsomest buildings in the state, costing S80,000. All well and good-for 1896, when the article was written. Today, however, with the prospect of a sorely-needed new college within reach, it is interesting and amusing to fiip back the yellowed pages of the years and see N.H.T.C. as it once was. ln 1889, as the need of a teacher-training pro- gram made itself apparent, the State of Connecticut authorized the construction of two normal schools: one in New Haven, the other in Bridgeport. Bridge- port, having its own program, declined, but New Haven complied with the requirements of a free site, suitable model, and practice schools for the training department. Thus, in 1893, New Haven Normal School came into practical existence. ln the first year of the school, the student body consisted of 98 women, and the faculty numbered three, excluding the first president, A. B. Morrill. Progress marked the second year, in that the student body grew to 191 Cincluding two menll. The curric- ulum of these early, formative years followed the state requirements: reading, spelling, writing, English grammar, geography, arithmetic, U. S. history, duties of citizenship, hygiene. Permissible were: elementary science, normal arts, music, and drawing. Students were sent to the Anderson Gymnasium on York Street for exercises two hours a week. Of the original class, 58 entered the second year. And in 1895, the first graduation exercises were held. One-third of the graduating class was hired by the City of New Haven as substitute teach- ers-salary? S300 a year! By 1896, the present Howe Street building Con the site of the Maltby estatel was ready for use. This 56 OLD AND NEW prompted the New York Herald to its glowing de- scription. Principal Morrill, in an article for the local press, firmly stated, l believe I can say ,anticipat- ing future needs, that the state will never require more than what it now has with the addition of Dwight School. lt would cost the state too much money to assume more . . . The new Normal School building has accommodations for 250 students and the senior class of teachers would probably not number more than 125 at any one time . . . At that time, two training schools were in use: Skinner School and Welch School, and a third CDwightJ had recently been acquired. There was much commen- tary on the prospect of the state taking complete control of the city school system, but Mr. Morrill's statement helped dispel the fears, although it cer- tainly could not foresee the present bulging seams of the institution. Principal Morrill resigned after 40 years' service and was succeeded by Dr. James L. Meader, who remained in office four years. The next president was Dr. Lester K. Ade. In 1935, Dr. Finis Engleman became the last principal of the Normal School and the first president of the college. At this time, New Haven State Teachers College adopted a 4-year curriculum. The path to success for the College has often been a rocky one. As early as 1900, the legislature recommended the abolishment of one of the normal schools in the state as an economy move. It was rumored that New Haven, being the most recent, would be the victim of the slash. In 1907, a press report had other criticism to make of the institution: l wish the Connecticut normal schools would give more attention to the study of physiology and em- phasize the fact that little children should not be beaten on the head. In 1936, troubles of a more serious nature began to develop. It became almost This section is dedicated to Miss A. Blanche Chase who has given the most service to N. H. S. T. C.

In 1937, the crisis was still apparent. Dr. Engleman received an edict from the governor that he proposed to close the college as an economy move. Due to the efforts of the faculty, students, and parents, the college was able to remain open. Dr. Engleman, in his President's Annual Report of 1939-'40, recognized that the college would take part in any emergency. During the summer months of that year, fifteen students were taking ground school instruction under the Civil Aeronautics auth- ority. During the war years, large numbers of the faculty and student body, as well as the president himself, entered the service. In Dr. Engleman's ab- sence in the Armed Forces, Dr. Ireland served as acting president. He was succeeded by Dr. Samuel Brownell in 1947. After the war, the college expanded by leaps and bounds. The faculty has grown to a total of 130. Owen McDowell was added as registrar in 1946. New programs of liberal arts, physical educa- tion, art, and library science majors were added. In 1949, the student body reached an all-time high of 815, and a new training school flvyj was added to Barnard, Scranton, and Roger Sherman Schools. ln spite of much unfavorable publicity and countless delays, funds were finally appropriated for the construction of a new college on a new site, Farnham Acres, which was purchased two years ago. Plans for the new buildings are being drawn under the direction of Douglas Orr, architect, and will include cafeteria and gymnasium buildings in addi- tion to the classroom space. Tracing the history of New Haven State Teachers College from its humble beginnings to its current success and the threshold of ci larger institution, has shown that the college has been and is capable of weathering many storms, and that its growth of physical size and academic stature has at least been recognized. A POSTCRIPT FROM THE OLD Again I am a student in the same old building. Memories of the earlier times crowd into my thoughts as I try to concentrate. Those two years of Normal School were hateful. They were dull, stuffy and regimented. I ioined with other rebels, an oddly-assorted small group of non-conformists, who were frowned upon and worried over. We were fighting a pattern we did not wish to fit. We were so laughably mild by today's standards that it is a miracle that we kept the faculty in such a tizzy. We had poor grades but those were the years of blind worship of the Standard Test. Up we stayed, the few of us, crazily perched above the nearest contestants in any kind of standard test. On a distribution scale we looked like flagpole-sitters. l firmly believe that this not- to-be-questioned result even outweighed the horrible rumor that we smoked. We graduated at a time when there was a surfeit of teachers and only twenty-five per cent of the graduating class was able to get teaching positions at all. Each of our select group got the position she went for on her first and only interview. We have often laughed about it since. We were so indifferent to gteaching and to getting iobs that our inter- viewers were probably awed by our poise andtseeming emotional maturity. -An Alumna of T926 ?

The one association in Teachers College that embraces the entire student body is the Athletic Association. Its main purpose is to provide wholesome activity for all students. Besides backing the varsity football, basketball and baseball teams, it sponsors intra-mural basketball for both men and women, it offers opportunity for tennis, horseback riding, bowling, swimming and badminton. Each activity has a sports-head, who is responsible for the sports activity in his or her particular field. Such things as co-ed badminton tournaments or a water ballet group may be formed to meet the varying tastes in sports at T.C. The A.A. is the sponsor of the all-college Sports Day at Lake Cockaponsett. Of course, in the last two years they have been accused of being in cahoots with the weather man and having a rainy day ordered so that it would be cancelled. Perhaps their most successful attempt at gaining all- college participation is at the annual Harvest Dance and at the Open House honoring the varsity players of the school. For the first time this year the A.A. sponsored the All- College Varsity Show. If the success of this year's show is any prediction, this will be the highlight of every school year. Credit should go to the producer, Charles Twyman, the director, Ward Bing, and special recognition to Ruth Stein- muller and Dick Wood, who wrote the words and music for the plot by .lack Russell and Don Sisson. Let's hope that this year's show has started a tradition that will carry on into the future. Officers: President, Charles Twyman, Secretary, Marguerite Mastriani, Treasurer, Arthur Colley. The Debating Club offers an instance of a school group which was entirely student inspired. Just three years ago, in the fall of l947, Bernard Horowitz suggested the creating of an active debating group. This idea was born in a Contemporary Civilization class which was being taught by Mr. Norman Allen. lt was suggested at the same time that Mr. Allen be the advisor. The next few weeks saw Mr. Allen and a small group of his students working earnestly to organize on a solid footing an organization which would flourish with the years. During the first half of that year the group engaged only in inter-club debates as a preparation for bigger things to come. ln the second half of that year the club ventured out to struggle verbally with such teams as Wesleyan and Fort Trumbull. ln the second year of its existence the T.C. Debating Club greatly enlarged its schedule to include debating teams from New Jersey, New York and other districts. It also found the T.C. debaters engaging in the Brooklyn and Vermont Debating Tournaments, a valuable experi- ence for a growing organization. This year the club's schedule is a more extensive one with the addition of the Rhode Island Conference to its schedule. In addition to its regular debates the club has been having a series of informal debates with the various college teams at Yale University, all of which draw a large attendance and often a few laughs as they debate on such subiects as uni-education or co-education or ls a college education necessary for women? The Debating club officers are plannig an even more extensive schedule for 'next year, and are always recruit- ing for new members. The officers of the club are: President, Ruth Jacobson, Vice-President, Angela Rein- hart, Secretary, Ceil Evanstock, Treasurer, Donna Driver, Program Chairman, Edith Isaac, Publicity Chairman, Audrey Carroll.

Where did we learn all these-why in Drama Club! Dr. Davis, advisor and director, keeps our upstage feet forward and our voices projecting. Irv Toles and Ed Mac have shown us how to build flats for sets, staircases, roofs, fences, and everything else needed as scenery for the plays. Do you remember the guppies in the fall show, Jenny Kissed Me ? Well, Dick Wood is the one to thank for the realistic touches Kpropertiesl that have gone into all Drama Club plays. He or his com- mittee finds nothing impossible. And while they're frantically hunting for smoke, bellows, corn husks, and the like for the spring show, The Scare Crow , you can be sure that Marie Reitano and her right hand man, Charlotte O'Connor, are checking the make-up supply and dashing to New York to pick up hair whitener or odd shades of lining. Back at school in the midst of stacks of tickets and piles of programs which he is trying to balance and sort, Jack Molloy is always able to give some helpful advice before the curtain goes up. Working parallel to him, Stelle Malone manages to pick up loose ends on scenery, costumes, and make-up which all help make productions run smoothly. The rest of us do the acting and serve in these committees to bring an enioyable show to the rest of the student body at Teachers College. One of the largest and most popular clubs at Teachers College is the Geography Club, composed of members of the four classes under the leadership of Miss Pauline Schwartz. A glance at the many splendid activities of the club clearly shows why its popularity is so long lived. The first big event of the year is the High School-College Conference during the month of November. All of the surrounding high schools are invited to send representatives to this conference. The conference theme is one of current interest in world affairs, as for example, the most recent conference which was concerned with the future of the British Commonwealth of Nations. The Con- ference begins with an assembly discussion by a guest speaker followed by smaller discussion groups. Following the discussions, reports are made and entertainment related to the social customs of the area under discussion is presented. The great suc- cess of the Conference is best reflected by the num- ber of high school people who attend the Conference and return as New Haven State Teachers College students. The next big event on the Geography Club agenda is the Christmas Party. After the holidays, the Club presents its annual Geography Club Night. This is a variety show utilizing all types of college talent and is looked forward to by friends and families of the students. Each year, during spring vacation, the Club takes its annual trip. Past trips have included cruises on the Chesapeake Bay and trips to Canada, Wash- ington and Virginia. Besides these varied activities the Club has monthly meetings, field trips, parties, and a well- rounded program of student activities.

For the past fourteen years they have been fortunate to have as their able faculty advisor Dr. May Hall James who has widened the activities of the club and been a very effective behind the scenes leader. The purpose of the I.R.F. is to encourage its members to develop their interest and understand- ing of international problems more fully through group discussions and reports. Because of this it is able to participate in the activities and privileges bestowed by the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. This year New Haven State Teachers College was represented by seven members of the I.R.F., at a conference held at the University of New Hamp- shire in Durham, at which Richard Rausch was chosen a regional delegate to the annual National Conference to be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Among the other activities which are exclusively I.R.F. are the Herald Tribune Conference, the Con- necticut College Conference, Bridgeport University Conference and Danbury I.R.F. meeting. On Janu- ary l3th of this year the annual Alumni. Night was held after its having been suspended during the war. In March one of the most important events of the year, the annual I.R.F. March Conference is held. Invitations are extended to over thirty other l.R.F.'s in New England for this conference high- lighted by important speakers on international rela- tions, and climaxed by the yearly I.R.F. Banquet. Since the institution of the Intercollegiate Student Legislature the I.R.F. has had charge of preparing and sending the N.H.S.T.C. delegation. This year as an added activity it will sponsor a trip to Wash- ington, D.C., during which the workings of the American governmental system will be studied. The officers are: President, Dorothea Cooke: Vice-President, Lawrence McNamara, Secretary, Joan Maria Pepe, Treasurer, Ernest Marzullop March Con- ference, Richard Rauschp Social Chairman, Erma Brittain.

An outgrowth of the Salon Marianne, it was founded by members of the class of 1950. Confusion may reign at a meeting of the club when a student of French is spoken to in Spanish, but it is straightened out again by the use of the universal language at T.C., English. The purpose of the club is to increase knowledge and appreciation of the French and Spanish lang- uages and cultures. In order to further their friendship with people in other countries, the club had as a proiect the sending of Christmas food packages overseas. The meetings are always crammed full of information and stimulating learning, and the school year is highlighted by informal gatherings and parties. Officers: President, Richard Miller, Vice-President, Angela Polastriy Secretary, Joan Koch: Treasurer, Dolores DiStasip Program Chairman, Miriam Water- man. THE MIXED CHGRUS The Mixed Chorus is composed of a group of men and women representing the four classes at the college. With the return of men students from the armed forces in 1946 such a group was made possible, and it had proved to be of great interest and value to its members and to the entire student body. The Chorus was organized not only to give music lovers l a chance to express themselves, but also to enable them to share their talent and efforts with others. To further these aims, the Chorus chooses the more beautiful musical selec- tions in various classifications including classical, modern, . folk, religious, carols, and traditional music. U Each year the Chorus gives several concerts for the I enioyment of the college students and faculty and for other groups and organizations. This year the Christmas Concert, an annual event, was presented in the College Auditorium on December 15. Following this event a concert was given for the Teachers League of Milford at the Point Beach School. Several radio shows are also given each year. The Spring Concert, an event eagerly looked forward to by music lovers, takes place in May at Sheridan Junior High School. A pre- view of the concert is given at the college. A group composed of upper-class men of the Chorus and the T.C. Trio are important subdivisions of the group. Membership in the Chorus is determined by tryouts or mem- bership in the Girls' Glee Club. The Mixed Chorus is directed by Mrs. Selma Thomson and has fifty-seven members. The officers are: President, Joseph Forcinelli, Vice-President, Harold Saleh, Secretary, Lois Carlson, Treasurer, Barbara Allen, Accompanist, Jean Goldman, Librarians, Lois MacFarland, Betty McCabe, Peter LoPresti, Joan Koch.

The improvement in techniques in taking pictures, the art of developing and printing a picture to gain a desired effect, are several of the aims of the club. The club members have done much of the in- formal photography for the yearbook, and they are always Johnny-on-the-spot with their cameras at games and social activities at T.C. Oiiicers of the Photography Club are: President, Eugene Waleski, Vice-President, Salvatore Polio, Secretary, Joan Costello, Treasurer, Stephen Mont- gomery. Growing out of student interest, the Psychology Club was organized in November, 1949, and now numbers forty-two members. At the first regular meeting the following ofticers were elected: President, Dorothy Dolan, Vice-President, Roberta Davis, Secretary, Mary A. Paparrella, Treasurer, Anita Clark, Program Chairman, Bernice Bernstein, Faculty Advisor, Miss Ruth Rounds. The purpose of the club is to give members oppor- tunity to further study the psychological adiustments for the normal and abnormal individual in the home, school and society. Activities of the club are varied and members may participate in any or all phases of the club program which includes: psycho-drama, trips, films and speakers, experimental works with mazes and mirrors, testing- self analysis, difterences between Freud and Horney methods, abnormal psychology, and the practical ap- plication to the elementary school. Many of the special programs of the club are planned so that the entire student-body may attend movies or lectures of interest to all.

One afternoon a week you may discover some eager hams gathered in Room 105 for a meeting of the Radio Workshop. Concerned with all phases of producing a radio show, the group works together and individually on the problems of broadcasting. Acting in front of a mike is much different from acting in front of a live audience, and the problems that arise are fun to surmount. One of the biggest aids in de- veloping a good mike voice is the recording of voices in order to help improve breathing, diction and articulation. Writing script is an interesting experience, especially when it is for real live broadcasts for a weekly show over a local radio station for the benefit of the school. Credit may go to the Radio Workshop for much of the good publicity the school has had via the air-waves in the past year.

Club members act as an editorial board for the college literary magazine, T. C. Talent, which em- bodies artistic as well as literary creations of T.C.-ites, selecting material for inclusion in the magazine from that turned in from all classes in the school. The material is then turned over to the art maiors for illustrating, and for the designing of the cover of the magazine. Informal meetings usually center around criticism of the work of T.C.'s earnest young authors, followed of course, by staunch defense of brain children. In their spare time the Scribes practice their penmanship or perfect their typing on the slim chance that a publisher likes neat well prepared manuscripts. You see, the Scribes are also students of the best way to a publisher's sales list. No sales, yet, but iust you wait! Officers of this aspiring club are: President, Ruth Steinmuller, Vice-President and Secretary, James Somers. Ruth Steinmueller is quite vehement about some point in her story as she talks it over with Mikey Larkin, Henry Michniewski, and Peter Orlando.

Permanent committees under the new Con- stitution include administrative, social, extra-curricula, election, student-faculty and student delegate. Under these committees the junior, sophomore and fresh- man class elections were supervised. The student- faculty affairs committee is a part of the Student Council and is made up of the Executive Committee of the Council plus the freshman class President. The student delegate committee reviews all requests of students and faculty to send delegates to panels, forums, exchanges or conferences off campus. A college seal designed by Vice-President Michael Nicefaro was adopted as the official college seal. The seal incorporates the Connecticut State Seal on a white shield with the motto, Docendo Discimus , which means, We learn by teaching , at the top. This seal has been placed on book covers, seals and decals for sale to the students. Perhaps the biggest step taken this year by the Student Council was the ioining of the National Student Association. This association is concerned with better educational standards, increased inter- national understanding and carries on an extensive and profitable student life program. The most tan- gible benefit the students derive from this association is the purchase card plan which enables students to purchase books, clothing and supplies at a dis- count. The Student Council voted to standardize the present college ring with the stipulation that it would take a two-thirds vote of the Student Council to effect a change. Choice of delegates to the Annual Spring Con- ference of the Eastern States Association of Profes- sional Schools for Teachers and to the regional conferences held in both the fall and spring is the duty of the Student Council.

Fight FOOTBALL.. 1949 will be remembered mainly for two things by Teachers College students. One was the granting of two million dollars for the new school-the other, the football team!! The 1949 football squad, under the brilliant coaching iob done by Jess Dow, was easily the best in the short history of the game here at T.C. Besides local honors, the team took national honors with their great defensive record and placed high in state football circles. Only their old nemesis, Bridgeport University, stood between the Educators and a perfect record. Four straight wins marked the Teachers record up to the U.B. tilt. The old U.B. Jinx took hold of the Educators and they lost their only game of the year. The charges of Coach Jess Dow then took four more for an overall record of eight wins and only one lossl l The Educators captured nation-wide honors by establishing themselves as the country's number one defensive team. Their overall mark of allowing their opponents iust 860 yards in nine tilts for a mere 95.5 yards per contest was second to none in collegiate ranks! They also placed first in pass-interceptions, snatching 27 enemy aerials! In state honors, too, the Educators had their share. Three members of the squad were named to the Conn. All-State second team and Coach Jess Dow was runner-up to Dan Jesse of Trinity as Coach of the Year . Senior Tut DeFran- cesco, and backs Fred Myers and Vic Toplitsky, were named to the mythical All-State team, lust missing first team honors by a hairline . Quickly reviewing other achievements of the '49 squad-Toplitsky was the state's leading scorer with 48 points, Myers captured the state's ground-gaining honors with 578 yards, and Carl Griffin, the young quarterback, was first in touchdown passes. Captaining the 1949 team were Joe Schmidt and Mickey Vanacore, who were not only fine players but all-round leaders and outstanding athletes. For 1950 Fred Myers and Dave Pretheroe were accorded this honor. A capsule review of the season, with a few words about each game: TC 32-NEW BEDFORD 7 The Teachers opened their season on a high note, with a blistering 32-7 vic- tory over New Bedford Tech. Fleetfooted Fred Myers tallied twice, and Joe Schmidt, Tut DeFrancesco and Carl Giftih each scored once. lt was an easy opener for the Dowmen. TC 30-STEWART A.A.B. 0 When the New England College eleven cancelled their game with the Educators at the last moment, Coach Dow arranged for a trip to West Point for the team to meet the Stewart Army Air Base. The trip was a very enioyable one-for the Educators. Myers and little Bobby Ford scored twice each and Carl Giffin had a score in the 30-0 win. George Mills, Carl Paight, Pete Tinero, Pete Klyndike, Walt Schipke, Mr. Jesse Dow, Irv Toles, manager, watch C.C.N.Y. y TC 27-C.C.N.Y. 6 After knocking at the enemy goal line three times in the first period, the Educators finally went to town with Fred Myers leading the way, to score a thrilling 27-6 win over City College of New York. Myers tallied twice on runs of 79 and 70 yards. Carl Giffin's 30-yard pass to Fran Jessey and Ray Scooter DeFrancesco's end run accounted for the other scores. TC I2-NATIONAL AGGIES 0 Big Vic Toplitsky came to life to lead the Teachers to a rugged 12-0 win over a tough NAC eleven at Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Top scored on a three-yard plunge and a 43-.yard dash to notch the Educators' fourth straight win. TC 7-BRIDGEPORT I9 Disaster struck-in the form of little Johnny Longo, as the Educators dropped their one, and only, game of the season to a strong Bridgeport team . TC 13-LONG ISLAND AGGIES 7 Quarterback Carl Giffin's 27-yard pass to Fran Jessey in the final minute of play gave the Dowmen a thrill-packed I3-7 win over the L. I. Aggies. After Giffin had passed to Bud Dempsey for a score, the Aggies tallied and went ahead, 7-6. But the last-ditch pass payed off for the Teachers' fifth win. TC 33-MONTCLAIR 0 After a scoreless first-half, the Educators really went to town, scoring five times in the second half to whip a hapless Montclair eleven, 33-0. Vic Toplitsky scored twice, and Fran Jessey had two TD's-one an 80-yard pass from Giffin, and Giffin tallied once. TC 45-FT. TRUMBULL 0 In more of a breather than anything else, the Teachers slaughtered an outclassed Ft. Trum- bull eleven, 45-0. Bobby Ford had two scores, brilliant Carl Giffin tossed two scoring passes to Toplitsky and two interceptions-by Bud Dempsey and George Sweeney, plus a seven-yard run by Ed Wysocki, brought the Teachers' highest total in history. TC 24-NEW BRITAIN 0 In their big traditional final, the Educators made short work of New Britain Teachers in winning a 24-0 decision. Vic Toplitsky played a brilliant game, scoring twice, while Giffin and Carl Paight had the other tallies. It was a fitting climax to a fitting season!

ALL OPPONENT TEAM With the conclusion of the most successful season in the history of the school, the Educator basket- ball team decided to pick an all- star opponent team, consisting of the best players to face the Teach- eers this year. Instead of a first and second team, the players picked four forwards, four guards and a center for the opposition dream team. Willimantic Teach- ers and Bridgeport, the only win- ners over the Educators, placed two men apiece, while Waterbury UConn also had two. Fairfield, Hill College and Hillyer each placed a man on the team. Vartelas iumps. Karkut and Toplitsky move in. 92 4 , Continuing the new policy of winning all they can, The New Haven Teachers basketball team picked up where the football team left off and promptly took 'I6 straight victories before finally falling before Willimantic Teachers and Bridgeport, lPer usuall for a season's total of 'I6 wins and only two losses! No finer record has ever been established by an athletic team at TC! The Tall guy and the Little one -Ted Var- telas and Lou Cardillo were the lads mainly re- sponsible for the Educators' great season. They scored 628 of the team's 1,038 points between them and were the team's pace-setters. Naturally it took more than two to make the team and no combi- nation could have clicked without the yeoman work of Capt. Joe Ogle, Norm Karkut, Vic Toplitsky and Mario Losi. As head coach Dr. Charles Bucher so ably put it, lt was a 'team' year. There was no individualism. Everyone worked together for the fine season. Cardillo, Vartelas, Ogle Los: and Toplitsky the starting lineup in most games. RECORD Won 16 Lost Hillyer Game: Ogle, Vartelas, Top- litsky, Karkut, Cardillo see action. Watch the game, boys, not the birdie! Five seniors saw duty for the final season and all turned in excellent seasonal marks. Ogle, Kar- kut, Wes Worthington, Jack Schmidt and Ralph Domino were the quintet. Now for a look at the record. When Coach Charles Bucher first called practice he really got the shock of his life. Only two candidates-Vartelas and Worthington-were over six-foot! So, to make up the height disadvantage, the good doctor stressed speed, speed and more speed. The team averaged only five-nine and wasn't given much of a chance of winning against the tall competition they were to face. But the only fellows who didn't seem to think this were the fellows on the team. The Educators were off and flying by soundly whipping New York Tech in Dr. Bucher's home territory, White Plains, N.Y., 51-30. A forfeit win over St. Basil's College followed and then the closest call against the Water- bury Extension School of UConn. Gene Karpinski, sophomore, sank two free throws in the last two seconds of play to win that one, 57-56. The Educators really began to catch fire after that. Hill College of Rhode Island fell by the way- side, 81-62 and a 70-42 win over the Alumni finished out the 1949 year. The Buchermen iust kept rolling right along when they started again after Christmas vacation. Con- cordia of New York fell 61-56 and Danbury was slaughtered 63-39. Then came the big victory over Fairfield Univ. as little Cardillo paced the TC'ers to a 60-56 win. New York Tech was next, for the second time, 58-54, then Hill again 66-52. Willimantic, which was later to ruin our Educators' record was an easy 64-44 victim and Hillyer and Waterbury fell to the un- beatables by 66-52 and 63-58 counts. Nothing could stop the lads and they iust kept piling on the wins. Morse College became victim number 14, Hillyer number 15 and a strong Albany State Teachers five of New York, number 16. Then came the bursting of the bubble . ln a startling upset the Willimantic Teachers clipped the Educators' win streak right there at 16, with a 60-54 licking. It was a heartbreaker to lose and put to an end the longest win-streak in Connecticut and one of the longest ever established by any Connecticut college. ' The final contest of the year against Bridgeport was more anti-climax than anything else. The lads were far off and not anywhere near par and fell before a blistering attack, 78-42. But in the final overall look, the record of 16-2 is something to be really proud of. To the whole team-from Coaches Bucher and Johnson to the lowest scrub, go TC's congratulations on a season well done! Sisson, sports editor, and Garrity, manager, watch the play. BASEBALL 1950 Lefty Esposito, Don Caley, Charles Mortara, and Joe Ogle are the batters warming up at a practice session. New Baseball Coach For 1950 With the announcement that Coach Jess Dow will assume the duties as track mentor, O. W. McDowell's taking over the reigns as baseball pilot marks a return to the coaching scene for the ex- Columbia Univ. three-sport brilliant. Mc- Dowell, Registrar here at TC, turned in three years as assistant football coach at Columbia after graduation and two years as head football coach at Newton High, in Mass. The tall Texan also coached TC's first basketball team back in 1941.

WOMEN'S Under the direction of Miss Irma Pelz, Miss Edith DeBonis, and Dr. Mary Hungerford, the women's Physical Education Department offers a varied pro- gram, with most activities taking place at the YWCA because of the limited facilities at the college. Activities include swimming, tennis, badminton, bowl- ing, archery, golf, basketball, volleyball, soccer, as well as social, modern and square dancing. Basketball, perhaps had the most intensive pro- gram. To date, games were played with Bridgeport University, Adelphi University, and Danbury State Teachers' College, with several more games to be played in the near future. ln the three games men- tioned above our girls have proved themselves worthy of a good deal of praise, by emerging victorious. The squad was selected and coached by Miss Mary Benevento, and consisted of the fol- lowing girls: Audrey Tiani, Shirley Romano, Ginny Valenti, Joan Crossley, Joan DeMond, Ruth Farqu- harson, Carolyn Dorsey, Mildred CShemethJ Garrity, Pat Reynolds, Jo Donadio, Doris Garthwait, Lil Ready, Mary Foley, and Margaret Fruin. The senior mem- bers of the team received their letters last spring, and this year's iunior members are waiting anxiously for spring when they, too, will be awarded their letters. Perhaps the biggest single activity of the Women's Physical Education Department, this year, was play- ing host to the annual State Intercollegiate Women's Athletic Council Play Day, which took place in January at the college and at the YWCA. No team competition was had as such, rather the par- ticipants were mixed together to facilitate getting acquainted with each other. One hundred and twenty-five women from the four Teachers' Colleges and the University of Connecticut, the only other state sponsored school, attended. The morning pro- gram began with bowling and volleyball at the YWCA. A luncheon held at Fitzgerald's Restaurant Run to retrieve that ball! SPORTS in Chapel Street was followed by a business meeting with the representatives from the Danbury State Teachers' College in charge of proceedings. After- noon activities included badminton and swimming also at the Y . The feeling of fellowship at the conclusion of the day is one to be long remembered. Occasionally a group of girls will be seen dressed for horseback riding, waiting for transportation to the stables. On meeting this same group the follow- ing day, one might hear a few complaints of lame- ness, but not enough to dampen the spirits of the girls who are still eager to learn more of the equine sport. The cheerleaders have become one of the more active organizations in the school this year. These girsl are active at all games during the entire school year. This organ has done much to further school spirit, and they have well-earned their letters . The spring brings forth many bright young ladies to the tennis court. Since this court has been re- surfaced we can expect some exciting games. Now that our student body has so greatly en- larged it has become necessary to hold some of the athletic activities, as well as classes at the Jewish Center. Here in the very near future we will be able to see female members of all the classes par- ticipate in a table tennis contest. Judging from the fact that so many girls are interested in this lively sport the contest will prove to be, we are sure, one of the most important sporting events of the season. All through the winter our mermaid sisters can be seen holding forth at the Y pool. Sally God- win has been the Sports-head for these girls and under her able direction the girls have come into their own. Tournaments in all activities are organized by the Sports-heads as the demand arises, giving an impetus to all who wish to participate in a particular sport. These girls go all out! The reserved bowler who forgot her gym suit! CHEERLEADERS NY!-ni Cleo Barnes, Patty Reynolds, Carolyn Dorsey, Angela Po- lastri, Trudy Ott, make the echoes ring. The need of cheerleaders for Teachers College was finally recognized this year and after tryouts of over 30 girls the following squad was chosen to represent us and lead the student body at all varsity games: Carolyn Dorsey, head cheerleader, Joan Kirby, Cleora Barnes, Trudy Ott, Patty Reynolds, and Angela Polastri. The A.A. has furnished uniforms in the traditional school colors, consisting of royal blue skirts and white N.H.S.T.C. sweaters. Just looking at them arouses school spirit, doesn't it, boys?

The Kappa Chapter of Kappa Delta Phi Fraternity was organized as a professional society in the college in February of 1950. The objectives of the fraternity are: to raise the standards of education, to promote the highest ideals, to foster belief in the Supreme Being, to uphold the promotion of good citizen- ship and social standards and to aid in the fight against all discrimination. The importance of this fraternity to the college is emphasized by the fact that it is the only organization that maintains a chapter in any of the State Teachers Colleges of Connecticut. This is the initial step towards the promotion of similar educa- tional fraternitiesnwithin the state. In Septembeii' I949, several meetings were held by students interested in irlaugurating a professional fraternity within the college. In February, 1959, the charter of the organization was accepted by the Student Council, Faculty-Student Affairs Com- mittee, and President Brownell. The official initiation of.mem- bers took place in the college on March 3rd of the same year. Installation was carried out by brothers of the Alpha Chapter, and the National Executive Committee. At the present, membership of the fraternity totals 50, pledges totaling the same number will be made to members of the Junior Class before the end of the school year.
