TIMMINS, Yearbook Advisor Mr. Timmins deserves no small vote of thanks for his part in bringing our yearbook to completion. He has been a stimulating leader, full of enthusiasm and with a rare knack for inspiring others to work to their greatest capacity. He has made a special point of encouraging the new ideas by which we have tried to give this yearbook a character of its own. His insistence on attention to even the very smallest details, his ability to analyze problems from an astonishing number of angles, his determination to see a problem through to a solution, his flashing sense of humor and nimble conversation-these are the things which have made working with Mr. Timmins a pleasant and valuable experience. 3 1' is f ' KS: it ffuitfsw walls-ie' 1-it l - I 1 1 s . lf' - ' ' ' DED1cAT1oN You huue hegot me, hred me, loved meg I Returu those duties huck ur ure right fit, Ohey you, Zoue you, und most honour you. - KING LEAK 0 This is a time of looking forward. But before we can step forward to unlock the door of the future we pause to express our appreciation to those who have placed the key to it in our hands. 0 We realize that we are involved in Mankinden and that for every helping hand that we have extended to others a thousand have been extended to us. 0 A large measure of thanks goes to our teachers who have given us the means to interpret and apply the knowledge we have acquired through the years. They have given us advice, encouragement, and praise whenever we have earned it. 0 But our deepest appreciation goes to our parents who have always had faith in us, even at times when we least deserved it. The debt we owe them is immeasurable and whatever honor we receive upon graduating we, in turn, give to those who really merit it-our parents. r 4 , t ,' .

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure, There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you.

Although designed primarily for science study, every- at one time or another, enjoys its many conven- iences. one, Dedicated to Lorthrop D. Higgins, second principal of the then Normal School , the new science build- ing cost about 3S400,000 and 351361000 of that 'sum has been spent for equipment. All the labs and lecture rooms are painted in soft non-glare tones, and the lighting is directed at angles so students can see the blackboards with ease. A darkroom is provided for photography study, a greenhouse for nature study, a woodworking shop for the use of lab students, an ele- vator for transporting equipment, and oflices for fac- ulty members. With all its sensitive instruments our weather station is almost equal to the United States Weather Bureau. , ,,,.r.,,,. ., ..

Dan- bury State Teachers College believes that concrete doing as well as abstract thinking should be a part of its curriculum. The Interim program is one way in which students are given opportunities to test and increase their understandings through first-hand experiences. During the four week Interim Period the freshman and sophomore students leave the college and go into the community to work in schools for the handi- capped, radio stations, newspapers, industrial plants, and many other agencies. Some students Work in their home towns while others plan projects which take them to other states. The Interim program was a tentative venture by the college, but it is fast receiving the recognition and approval which will establish it as a permanent part of the college curriculum. 59 1 X cf 5? f7'f gif? iw 0 f 0 VY?

Whitcomb, has made numerous public appearances. Composed of fifty members, the orchestra presented its annual concert which was attended and very well appreciated by many. In addition, the orchestra gave an excellent account of itself at the State Convocation in Hartford in the fall. The orchestra has also made numerous appearances for various school and civic functions. The concert mistress of the orchestra this year was Mrs. Elaine Wfalkoff Rubin. COLLEGE BAND The band is the newest of the music organizations, being in existence for three years. However, in this short span, the band has established itself as a fine musical organization, and has set a high standard for future bands to match. Under the direction of Mervin W. Whitcomb, it was composed of forty members this year. This year also marked the second annual concert presented by the organization, plus the appearance in the city's Hat Parade. In addition, the band has performed in numerous school functions. Its appearance in the city's Hat Parade helped to strengthen the college and community bond. 67 QQQF 'Q' f-1, P, .1-K.--v,,, Ni., .: g ,, ' ' ,P 1f', '- 14 -'-Ki,-5 R.. . . K AA, .X , .

By the time a student's training as a teacher is completed the' pioneers in educational thought are as familiar to him as old friends. . Plato's educational plans were mainly utopian but nevertheless he contributed valuable ideas to the body of educational thought. He considered the spirit of education more important than educational technique. He stressed the value of being able to see things in their relationship to each other. He believed that education should continue through life, making daily experiences more meaningful. Aristotle, Plato's disciple, further contributed to educational thought. He emphasized intellectual freedom and the spirit of inde- pendent inquiry but he also attached much importance to methodical knowledge. The foundation stones of educational philosophy were laid by Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch, Quintilian, Luther, Erasmus, Montaigne, Bacon, Descartes. The superstructure of education as we know it today has been built upon their foundation by Locke, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herbart, Froebel and Dewey. John Locke, although influenced greatly by the social conditions of his time, was an advocate of tolerance, personality development rather than bookishness, and the encouragement of independent judg- ment, initiative and the critical use of reason. Rousseau's ideas are important, not so much for their originality as for their vigor. They stimulated the trend toward educational reform which was later carried forward by Johann Pestalozzi. Pestalozzi at- tacked the artificial methods of education of his time but he is best known as the priphet of equality and individual difference teaching. 70 PHILUSOPHY Inspired by Petalozzi's work, Johann Herbart, founder of one of the first colleges for teacher training, attempted to clarify the prob lems of education. His valuable research in psychology is based on such principles as respect for individuality and encouragement of free expression. Froebel, whose work was closely related to that of Petalozzi and Herbart, also tried to formulate a system of teaching from the existing mass of philosophical and psychological knowledge. Although he is associated with education of the pre-school child his findings hold implications for all phases of education. But the best known name in educational thought is John Dewey, often called the godfather of modern education. Dewey looked upon education as a social process which cannot be separated from the character and responsibilities of society. He identifies education with life instead of regarding it as just another of its facets and considers the satisfaction and happiness of the individual and the fostering of civilization as the two main ends of education. Sifflkvlkakfkvllfiffllfifilf Talk about Philosophies of Education is, to many, just part of the mass of jargon for which the teaching profession is often ridiculed and criticized. And this criticism is just, to the extent that Philosophies of Education are allowed to remain in the abstract without being pinned down to the realities of life. It is not enough to passively accept as an abstraction the basic principle which is common to all of the foregoing philosophers. This basic principle, regard for the individual and his rights, must be wielded consciously by teachers as a weapon against its antithesis of totalitarian education. It must be wielded in the cause of the defense of liberty against usurped authority, of justice against oppression, of the common welfare against exploitation. It must be applied to all of the problems that confront us- as we try to prove that Democracy is right. 71 1 ' gi Q-' .

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Within a few years the scope and variety of extra curricular activities have broadened immensely due to the Athletic Associations efforts to offer a program to men and women for recreational, educational, and social benefits. A.A. is divided into two units, Men's A.A. and Women's A.A., each of which operates separately in setting up its own programs, and both jointly work in setting up a co-educa- tional program. A very popular feature of A.A. has been intra-mural sports. In every area the student is given the opportunity to participate in a wide choice of seasonal activities such as: touch football, basketball, volley ball, badminton, tennis, archery, horseback riding, golf and baseball. joint A.A. offers an opportunity for social development through round and square dances, play days, roller and ice skating parties, splashi' parties, picnics, and as the climax- a school banquet is held a which recognition is given for participation. few' HF ,MW , 'rf lx lrn, ggxshj u .QY Wil QT sway W.A.A.

SPGRTHEADS The purpose of a sport head is to organize and set up a schedule of meetings for the particular activity of which she is a leader. I-Ier duties are to keep a list of those who par- ticipated, and those who officiated. She must also keep a record of any A.A. subsidation and the standings of the various teams. Although she does not receive much recognition, A.A. depends upon her for its efficiency.

With a quick Smile and friendly manner he has all the charm of a gentleman of the old South. But we know that Iowa is way out West. Dr. Cook, the newest addition to the administration, has readily taken over his duties as College Dean and has used his authority wisely. His vast field of knowledge, keen interest, in student well-being and genuine sympathy in guidance have made him a mail to be esteemed. 80 -1 fl Clroll se H555 I0 aid rl plusrswaggl whichgean mall and Q Capillltngss I WY alter h will Wire H18 this gghc 5-. 1 ll? -.gh 4 no ig ' ' . , - -. f- u p 5 , 1 av ' '- H- . s tr-, Fi.

Many believe that Do-Day is just a day of work or play, however, upon closer inspection, one can see that these implications are only some of the manifestations. Actually the put- pose of Do-Day, in its conception, was to eliminate the apathy that prevailed among the students and faculty. We believe Do-Day has contributed a great deal in accomplishing this goal, and what is more important, it continues to instill the feeling of pride and belong- ing. Do-Day has made the task of promoting school spirit easy by using the tools of our American brand of democracy. The following are some of the highlights this unique plan has brought forth. Do-Day officially starts with a political battle between the departments for the coveted positions of Dean of Men and Dean of Women. In the spirit of fun, all the tricks of Ameri- can political campaigning are used, from street par- ades to speeches which promise an infinite Utopian society. When the last vote is counted and the victors receive their rewards, the hatchets are buried and total cooperation is the order of the day. People in charge of work groups are chosen for their abilities in leadership and it is not surprising t0 find a turnabout situation among students and faculty. If you happened by Danbury Teachers College on D0- ded of the old Am6riCHH custom of house raising. Swarms of people mal' be number of tasks.

We would like to give you an extensive tour of this long-needed addition to the campus. As you enter the building from Seventh Avenue you will see many classrooms beautifully equipped and well lighted. From the classrooms you will proceed to the Health and Physical Education unit where you will find the gymnasium, 90' x lO5', which may be used as one large area or as two separate teaching or playing stations. The small gymnasia, 90' x.52', are divided by a large partition, powered by electricity. When used in full size, the space holds a varsity men's bas- ketball court surrounded by more than regulation out-of-bounds space. Bleachers will seat at least 500 spectators and are constructed to recess when not in use. One section of a small gymnasium may be used in the adapted or atypical program. Mirrors, ladders, and other special equip- ment are in this section. The mirrors, which are also used in the dance, are well protected by sliding panels. The other small gymnasium houses any special apparatus used in a well-rounded program. Ample storage rooms lie adjacent to the gymnasia making additional equipment pos- sible. Storage for outdoor equipment is in a separate place. For the first time, locker rooms for men and for women provide shower, dressing and locker accommodations more nearly adequate to a college program. The same holds true for staff accommodations. There is a separate office for each staff member, with appropriate shower, dressing, and storage facilities. A new health unit shows desirable innovations. The nurse's of- fice gives access to small dressing rooms which, in turn, connect with a well-situated examining room. This area replaces the dormitory in- firmary as the center for all medical and physical examinations. Emer- gency rest rooms for men and women, long a need of the college with its growing commuter population, make up the space remaining in the suite. Facilities in our new building make possible a richer and more extensive program for all in Health and Physical Education. .Leaving the Health and Physical Education unit you will find the Music Department which now has adequate provision for rehearsals, practice rooms, studios for private teaching, and other necessary facili- 94 ties. We now have rooms particularly suited for music. The orc hestra band, large chorus and glee clubs, as well as the large classes in mugig for the elementary education teachers, will have a room large sound , - proofed and acoustically correct for rehearsal and study. There are nine small cubicles for individual practice and two studios f teaching and rehearsals of small ensembles. Or private We will then be able to have our concerts in our own auditorium which includes a stage large enough for our proposed symphony Or- chestra as well as the college chorus and band. Ample storage space for instruments and music library has been provided. Leaving the Music Department you will want to visit the audi- torium unit. You will enter a spacious lobby with a box office, cloak rooms, and rest rooms adjacent. The Auditorium itself is up-to-date in every particular, splendidly equipped, artistically decorated, and capable of seating 600 persons. You will be able to see the stage from all corners of the audience for the Auditorium has a slanting floor and staggered seating arrangement. Mr. Sunderland, the architect, has worked out an excellent lighting system-subtle, indirect lighting for the Auditorium itself and an effective system for the stage, controlled from the projection room in the balcony. Behind the stage, you will see the stage workshop which is large enough to allow for construction and storing of stage sets, dressing rooms with running water g and wardrobes for costumes and properties. Danbury State Teachers College will be happy at last to have an auditorium large enough to accommodate the student body for assem- blies, concerts, plays, commencement, and all other activities which are such an integral part of college life. The second floor above the entrance of the Auditorium houses the Speech Department. The new quarters contain two classrooms, a projection booth and an office for the speech faculty. One of the out- standing features of this group of rooms is the several different func- tions they will perform. One of the classrooms is equipped for use as a studio for weekly radio rehearsals and broadcasts. The rooms are con- structed so that it is possible to have a very well equipped laboratotl' for all of our students, including those needing speech diagnOS1S, clinical help and audiometic testing. The projection lDOOfh houses the stage lighting panel and the broadcasting console. You have now completed a tour of the major units of our new building. We know you will rejoice with us knowing the college W111 have the facilities to do better those activities which were begun when we were at Danbury Teachers College.
