DEAN STEINER Whether by accident or design, every institution from a popcorn stand to o mail order house is an advertiser. Central State Teachers College is no exception to this rule. A school's curricular and extra-curricular status is revealed partially through its student publications and its official bulletins. The athletic renaissance of the past few years, a new high in forensics, and the growth in number and quality of its musical organizations, all indicate the health and vigor of Central State. A study of the recent curricular changes and a comparison of the physical plont of a few years ago with that of the present would show many important improvements. The comparison would become a contrast which would make interesting copy in any prospectus. But the generous use of printer's ink alone does not constitute all of a successful advertising program; the influence of this college will manifest itself in the lives of its students. Their success or failure is the product by which the institution must be judged. Advertising of this kind is permanent and effective. I'agt iq

REGENT MARTENS Herbert Spencer said that the function of education is to prepare one for complete living. The keynote of a full life is service to others. That entails not only forgetfulness of self, but also real self-sacrifice. Paradoxical as it may seem, happiness and contentment are attained to a fuller degree by a life consecrated to the service of others rather than by one dedicated solely, or even principally, to self. In training you young men and young women for your future careers, Central State Teachers College has that aphorism constantly in mind. Its faculty has emphatically demonstrated that it is imbued with the principle of doing for others unselfishly on many occasions, especially in giving its time freely and whole-heartedly to the work of the night school without expectations of any reward other than the satisfaction that doing for others gives. No class of individuals has so many opportunities for social service as have teachers of the young and adolescent. No class does more to regulate the habits and thus mold the characters of our future men and women. The school-room is a worthy adjunct of the home and of the church. It supplements and completes the work of each. This trinity—the home, the church, and the school —pre-eminently exemplifies the spirit of unselfish devotion for the good of others. Yours, young men and young women, is a high calling. If you carry with you through life the ideas and ideals mculcoted at Central State, your careers will be thoroughly happy and contented ones—ones devoted principally to the welfare of your fellow-man.

INTERESTING FACULTY MAY ROACH Although Miss Roach is affiliated chiefly with the rural department of the school, everyone knows her. She is much in demand os a club speaker and always graciously obliges—has as much, if not far more, of the well-known “school spirit” as anyone faculty or student. She is the answer to a freshman's prayer, having that rare ability of being oble to make you her friend at first sight. She has a smile and a good word for everyone. The annual homocoming wouldn't be the same without her pep-talk. She throws her support whole-heartedly behind any constructive movement in school. EDDIE KOTAL The Builder of Champions—witnessed a championship in either football or basketball, or both, ever since he come in 1930— athletics was practically at a stand still when he came—played pro ball with the Green Bay Packers for four years—has the most complete line of after-dinner, before-breakfost, and anytime jokes of anyone wo know, and doesn't hesitate to entertain with theml—superstitious os they come where his team's concerned —insists on the bus’ driving out of town the same way on all athletic trips—honorary member of Kappa Chapter of Phi Sigma Epsilon. SUSAN COLMAN Our choice for THE popular teacher. Her office is the meeting place for a representative group of students from all departments of the school. A friend and confidant of all is she. Director of the primary department—is probably responsible in great part for the startling increase in enrollment there in the last few years—originally went to school and taught in Superior— imported from Whitewater, here—is working for her Ph.D. in education -studies and uses the latest teaching methods in her courses —secret ambition is to retire and relax in the Southland not for a long time, we hope1 Page 20
