The Art Department is reflected in the success of its graduates — many have made enviable records in a short time after graduating.
The art staff consists of eight superior teachers of wide and varied experience in the field of education as well as in fine arts. The housing in the main floor (six studios and exhibition room) of the Arts Building with up-to-date equipment lends an atmosphere conducive to the finest of creative work. A creative-expression-design method of teach- ing places emphasis on development and thinking rather than on skills. Appreciation is cultivated by visits to The International and other shows in Pittsburgh, and the shows which are brought to Indiana of painting, prints, photography, textiles, and crafts.

Entrance requirements are the same as for other departments of the college. Gradu- ates from the Department of Business Education may eventually find their places in positions of responsibility in the larger high schools. This suggests that only those who possess the ability, ambition, personality, and aptitudes reguisite for success in such professional work should apply for entrance to the Department of Business Education.
In this department every reguirement is met as laid down by the State Department of Public Instruction for teaching in the high schools of the Commonwealth. Upon graduation a fully accredited degree recognized by leading universities is granted.

A teachers' college, in addition to teaching the content of subjects, also teaches the students how to present this subject matter to others in a teaching situation. The Educa- tion Department through the so-called education courses furnishes the ground work for the professionalization of the content of other courses. Thus, the Education Department serves every other department except English, which also serves every student in the college.
To put it in another way, the Education Department is expected to furnish the leaven for the professionalizing of the work of the college. It is the feature which distinguishes the teachers' college from some other college. It touches every student in every depart- ment and thereby makes the college a professional school.

The English Department, which serves the entire college and trains teachers for junior- senior high schools, provides a rich program beyond the classroom as well as in the various courses.
The department sponsors appropriate English activities through which students learn the craft of journalistic work on the Oak and the Penn, some achieving election to Alpha Phi Gamma. Students participate in choral speaking, and a few share literary experiences in the American College Quill Club. Like all other organizations sponsored by English teachers, the Leonard Literary Society and its dramatic performances include all students; this year, however, one play selected its cast from students specializing in English.
The establishment of English reguirements preliminary to student teaching is a professional gain. With these restrictions all graduates will be better prepared in English.

The Music Education Department is founded on the aesthetic basis of producing musicians and music educators to the best of its ability. In pursuance of its aims to present the best of music to its students, the Music Department is imbued with the principle of teaching varied music courses that tend to create fine musicianship. The department offers academic courses in harmony, ear training, and sJaht reading together with skill technics in voice and in all orchestral instruments. However, the department goes much further than merely facilitating efficiency in skill technics and academic music courses, for the historical development of the art is stressed.

Home Economics— Esther H. Alden, Helen C. Merriman, A. Pauline Sanders, Head of Department; Ethyl V. Oxley, Sylva Wixson, Marion Wills
All experiences in or out of the classroom are a part of the Home Economics picture. The tendency is toward an integration of general and vocational education. It emphasizes the social approach and involves the recognition of problems and the solving of them in a natural habitat.
A faculty that is composed of specialists who are dedicated to appreciating with students the experience of a vital program in Home Economics makes this possible.
Practical values are stressed in food preservation, meal planning and serving. Purchasing of household commodities is not neglected. Clothes and hats are made and remodeled. Participation and directed observation of young children in the home management house afford a type of essential experience. Managerial experience in class situations and in the home management house gives an opportunity for practice in tactful handling of human relations.

Life Saving
The teachers' colleges have a challenge in physical education: increased leisure strikes from all sides. There are several million unemployed boys and girls of high-school age who need some type of leisure-time activity. To meet this need in the teachers' colleges, greater emphasis must be placed on outdoor activities: overnight hikes, camping, swim- ming, riding, skiing, tobogganing, and archery.
On all campuses mixed games and sports should be encouraged; a fair start in this direction has been made here, but possibilities are still open for further expansion in a variety of physical activities.
In intercollegiate sports colleges should tend toward better co-operation with other schools and should strive for a better understanding of the objectives of these sports.

Library Staff— Florence Ridencur, Lucille J. Littlefield, Estella M. Slaven
This year's student body has seen the library expand its quarters to include two addi- tional rooms. The room directly beneath the library has been converted into a reserved- book reading room. While the room is small, it provides a more suitable place for stu- dents to do required reading than was before available.
Room 104 now houses the beginning of a textbook library. Textbooks donated by publishers have been arranged according to subjects. By securing the key at the circu- lation desk, students may now have access to those books covering subjects they are preparing to teach.
The additional space has made possible division of the library according to its function. Because of more room in the main reading library the student now has more opportunity to habituate himself to the use of the library.

Geography— Paul H. Boyts, Lawrence C. Davis, Head of Department, Norah E.Zink
The criterion under which the Geography- Department functions involves the inter- pretation of the inter-relationships between man and his natural environment. This standard is recognized as fundamental train- ing for junior and senior high-school stu- dents. Its major contribution is that students geographically trained find themselves in harmonious adjustment to their own environ- ment and develop a sympathetic attitude toward the struggles of society with its sur- roundings.
Indiana provides a definite program for majors and minors in geography and has a staff of trained geographers and an enthusi- astic student personnel. In addition to required subjects such modern courses as Climatology and Meteorology, Trade and Transportation, and Conservation of Natural Resources are offered.
During the summer months geographers from Indiana range the continent on field trips, learning how the other half lives — and, more important, why.

During the year 1938-1939 the Mathematics Department included three faculty members and eighty -three students majoring in mathe- matics.
The chief purpose of the department is to develop good teachers of mathematics for both the elementary and the secondary schools of Pennsylvania. To that end courses in pure mathematics and in teaching tech- niques are provided for major students. Courses in curriculum and in teaching arithmetic are provided for all students in Elementary Education.
One of the major activities of the depart- ment was the organization of the biennial Mathematics Conference which was held on October 29, 1938. Dr. John Clark, Professor of Mathematics at Teachers College, Col- umbia University, spoke on the topic "Mod- ern Trends in the Teaching of Mathematics." His discussion was stimulating both to the students of the department and to the large number of teachers from the nearby area who attended the conference.

The Science Department, hampered as it is without sufficient laboratories or an adequate staff to give all the work it should to its eighty departmental majors, offers a more complete program than is possible in many of the smaller teachers' colleges. To further its program the de- partment is looking forward to the time in the near future when facilities in science education for the college will be increased. At present the Science De- partment has raised its standards. With the requirements now imposed upon Science Majors all graduates from this department will be better prepared.
Indiana has a well-trained staff of four social studies teachers. These teachers are prepared to give professionalized subject matter courses in the fields of history, government, economics, and sociology.
In this day of a rapidly changing social order there is a tremendous inter- est in the field of social studies. At Indiana this is reflected in a large and enthusiastic group of History Majors. In- asmuch as most of these students will teach social studies in the public schools of Pennsylvania, considerable emphasis is placed upon education for social understanding, for economic literacy, for political citizenship, and for civic responsibility.

ROBERT F. WEBB
Adviser
The Class of '39 for the last four years, has met each fall and adjourned each spring; and with the passing of time it has become a smaller organization. Proms and outings together with the less social phases of college life, namely, classes, have created a metamorphosis in our make-up from exceedingly contrite and tradi- tionally "green" freshmen to egotistical sophis- ticates whose knowledge of life is affluent and paradoxically dubious.
Senior day brought with it thoughts of the approaching exodus to the Class of '39. At this time we desperately made the most of our last chance to have a whole day to eat, play, and dance together; but ever we had a subconscious feeling that our time at college was almost over and that we would soon take our places as alumni of I. S. T. C.
Now that we are to leave for positions un- known, scenes crop up in our minds with poignant sentiment; thoughts of proms, parties, outings bring back mentally things past. An incongruent mixture of emotions is within us now that we are to leave Indiana: sorrow, happi- ness, thankfulness — all form a part of our feelings.

HAROLD L. CAMP
Adviser
What was labeled a group oi inexperienced and not-so-wise freshmen two years ago has been organized into the prominent Junior Class of 1938-1939.
The members of this class can be distinguished very easily about campus by their carefree, self- sufficient attitudes for they have just come up from the hoi polloi and have not yet begun to struggle over lesson plans. Next year there will be a still further metamorphosis of the indi- viduals now known as juniors, for then they will take upon themselves the characteristics — desirable and undesirable — of methodical stu- dent teachers. Then they will have reached their goal at Indiana State Teachers College.
But as to the present, the affairs of the Junior Class have been carried on by: Vern Alderson, President; Dan Remley, Vice-President; Warren Davis, Secretary; Robert E. Lynch, Treasurer; Joseph Sariscak, James Startzell, Helen Hribal, and Ross Adams, the Student Council Repre- sentatives; and Dr. Camp, Adviser.
The social highlight of the year was the Junior Prom which was held on April 15 in Recreation Hall. Will Click and his Orchestra did a com- mendable piece of work, making a gay affair of the prom. Music — sweet and swing — bright lights, beautiful gowns, and a starlit night made the evening unforgettable.

JOY MAHACHEK
Adviser
The Sophomore Class entered this year 329 strong. Entering the ranks as upperclassmen, it looked down upon the green freshmen as a frightened, inexperienced group, forgetting that last year they were labeled as shy "Freshies."
The highlight for the year was the Sophomore Prom held in Recreation Hall on Saturday, December 3. The decorative motif, suspended behind Johnny Mac and his orchestra, desig- nated with large black numerals on a red back- ground the graduating year of this class, 1941. Colored flood lights, potted ferns, and rhythmic music gave the ballroom an exceedingly dance- able atmosphere.
Under the supervision of the class officers and sponsor, the class is determined to achieve at least some of its ambitions each year. It is interested in strengthening the foundation it has already built — thus, making itself a worthy part of the college.

LEROY H. SCHNELL
Adviser
One of the largest freshman classes ever to enroll at Indiana wandered meekly onto the campus one very rainy day last fall and signified its intention of becoming affiliated with this institution. It was not long until this inevitable meekness was thrust aside; it was replaced by a whole-hearted desire to assume the status of college freshmen and to gain recognition from the upperclassmen and faculty as being a responsible group ready to contribute its bit to Indiana.
In the middle of the first semester the class was called together by Adviser L. H. Schnell for the purpose of organization. In addition to electing the class officers the group chose Mary Ander- son and James Hess as Student Council Repre- sentatives.
The social highlight of the year was the Freshman Prom held in Recreation Hall on Saturday, February 18.

To JEAN SMITH
Pausing,
We remember
A life, whose calm soul
Looked to death
Not knowing fear;
Whose simple courage
Mocked our little whims;
Whose guiet purpose
Moved about our ways
Almost unseen —
As some cool, gentle wind
Brings rest
That lingers
After it has gone.

1939 Oak
The editors of this Oak have tried to present an all- school yearbook, one which will recall the year 1938- 1939 in an entirely new way. It is the hope of the staff that future editors will follow this plan and add more pictures to their annuals.
The editors have tried to emphasize those extra- curricular activities which contribute as much in their own way to the well-being and development of students as the burning of midnight oil. If this book recalls pleasant memories of college days at Indiana, the ambitions of the staff will have been realized.
For their assistance and encouragement we thank:
Helen F. Egleston and Clinton M. File for their advice in editorial and financial matters;
Carl Douglass and his assistants in the Douglass Studio for the use of their eguipment;
Louis E. Wise of Jahn and Oilier Engraving Company for his valued suggestions on the entire book;

The college newspaper, the Indiana Penn, is financed by the Student Co-operative Association from the activity fee. Its staff is composed of students who are interested in school journalism and who are willing to devote a considerable amount of their time every week to make possible this publication.
Approximately sixteen hundred copies are printed weekly, the paper being distributed to students and faculty each Saturday. The Penn carries on an exchange with numerous teachers' colleges, liberal art schools, and high schools within the state.
The aim of the paper is to provide an interesting and informative weekly that reflects student opinion and that makes known the standards and activities of the school to others who may be interested.
The Penn is a member of the Pennsylvania School Press Association and last semester placed second in the contest which the association conducted.
The editor is chosen by the publications committee, which is composed of faculty and student representa- tives. Charles Reamer, who served as editor-in-chief the second semester of last year, was again selected by the committee for the first semester of this school year. William Johnson was chosen as editor for the second semester. Most of the staff members have become acguainted with the principles relating to school publications in the journalism class that is offered one semester each year.
The faculty adviser this year has been Ruth Knowles and the financial adviser Clinton M. File.

Art Club
Bright and cheerful, as informal as the Art Club itself, yellow squares of light shine through the night from the first floor of the Arts Building. It's Tuesday evening and every studio is alive with smock-clad painters, noisy metal-workers pounding out pewter plate, or soldering a long-desired ring. There are even papier-mache mask-makers, and several non-Art Depart- ment faculty members intrigued with potter's wheel and clay. Some evenings the lighted windows denote a business meeting of the club. In this club interested persons from all departments are drawn together by the desire for self-expression and develop- ment of individuality as well as for sheer enjoyment of the club's activities.
As always, this year's first major event was the membership outing at the school lodge where the freshmen entertained with an impromptu program and unknowingly submitted themselves to upperclass inspection. A masquerade party, gay with cos- tumes, decorations, and entertainment, and supplemented by dancing and refreshments, marked the club's tribute to the Halloween season.
In November two days were devoted to the annual visit to the International Art Exhibition at Carnegie Institute in Pitts- burgh; two trips in the school bus accommodated the group. That Americans enjoy laughing at themselves was proved by the Art seniors who gave a note of parody to the February meeting when they dramatized unforgettable moments in the lives of student- teachers.
In May the year was brought to its climax with all the love- liness of a formal banquet which was not untouched by sadness of parting for the seniors, even for the one who was presented with the Jean R. McElhaney bronze medal for outstanding achievement in three different fields of art.
The officers were: President, Sally Lang; Vice-President, Norman E. Davis; Secretary, Phoebe Jane Albert; Treasurer, H. Fleming Moody.

Geography majors and minors, bound together by a common interest, find real satisfaction in both professional and recrea- tional association. Conseguently, each year they organize as a distinct group, the Geography Majors Club, which aims to benefit every member.
The club's first social event of this year combined learning with fun. Both majors and minors left Wednesday afternoon, October 19, for Chestnut Ridge, the highest point in Indiana County, to make a field trip to the Conemaugh Water Gap. Upon arrival at the Gessler cabin, a walking tour was conducted to a vantage point overlooking the river. From there the view was one of geographical adjustment in transportation patterns seldom surpassed. After a steep climb back up to the cabin, delicious food was eaten around a fire in the huge living-room. Talks by Mr. Davis and Mr. Boyts on interesting phases of their summer travels through the South and along the New England coast followed group singing. It was raining as the crowd went down the hill to the bus; but no one cared.
The outstanding event of the club's educational program occurred on October 17; on that date Dr. George Babcock Cressy, who in the United States is the leading authority on China and the head of the Department of Geography and Geology at Syracuse University, spoke to the geographers and others interested on the subject, "China — Land of Contrasts." Doctor Cressey's profound knowledge of China's various adjust- ments to her natural environment, illustrated by slides and maps, resulted in a worth while evening — to even the novice in geography.
Mr. L. C. Davis is sponsor of the organization. The officers for this year were: Marion Allison Abell, President; Mary Lou Watson, Vice-President; and Ada St. Clair, Secretary-Treasurer.

English Majors
In addition to their professional training, the English Majors may roam through wide fields of personal delight in litera- ture, writing, and dramatics. There is a great range of attractive electives from which to choose and an opportunity to enjoy experiences with the college paper, the yearbook, and literary clubs.
Although the English Majors have not organized a depart- mental club this year, they are a congenial group who have enjoyed literary charades, such pleasant information as given in Professor Geyer's talk, and such exhilaration as comes from meeting the poets Miss Audrey Wurdemann and Mr. Joseph Auslander and from talking with Dr. Henry Seidel Canby.
Acting for the first time on the realization that the chang- ing situation has brought a need for a higher standard for teachers of English, this department has been emphasizing scholarship and general preparation. It has been known by both faculty and students that present-day Americans are not receiving the varied types of English that should best prepare them to get along in their different lines of work. Thus the reguirements for entering the field of English have already started to rise, while the type of work done in the department is believed to be improving greatly.
Proof of the activeness of this group can be seen by read- ing the daily bulletins. The English majors are continually holding conferences and making trips to Pittsburgh to see one or another type of cultural entertainment. One of the highlights of last year's activities was the play presented to the student body in April. Under the direction of Edna Lee Sprowls this performance was a huge success.

Three years ago the Edward Arlington Robinson Poetry Club shortened its name to the Robinson Poetry Club. The group, consisting of students and faculty members interested in poetry, met informally each month to read and discuss verse as well as prominent contemporary poets.
In the fall of 1937 the organization diverted its attention to another channel. It concentrated on choral reading of poetry for its chief activity. This trend, novel to the compus, was given impetus by Miss Marjorie Gullan of London, England, who visited us at the college in the spring of the year. During her week's stay at Indiana meetings were held at which Miss Gullan led groups in choral speaking. Such active interest was shown that, under the leadership of Mrs. Carrie Belle Parks Norton, plans were made to continue the experience. The group at present is popularly known as the Robinson Reading Choir. Various departments of the school are represented in it. Although girls alone belonged at first, several interested men joined them at the beginning of second semester this year, making a total of thirty-five members. At its weekly meetings the group reads various kinds of poetry, ballads and lyrics, old and new, chiefly from Marjorie Gullan's book "The Speech Choir." The choir en- joys such selections as the "Song of the Chattahoochee" and the blustering tempo of William Rose Benet's "Jesse James" as well as the intense and emotional lines of John Frolicker's "Ghosts." O'Shoughnessy's "Ode" has become the theme poem. Although the club meets primarily for its own en- joyment, enrichment, and appreciation of poetry, it has made three or four public appearances each year.
Grace Mancuso and Helen Strassner have been the secretaries since the choir was organized.

ome Economics Club
Ellen H. Richards gave to home economics followers this creed:
1. The ideal home life of today unhampered by traditions.
2. The utilization of resources of science to improve home life.
3. The freedom of the home from the dominance of things and their due subordination.
4. The simplicity in surroundings which will free the spirit for more important and permanent interests of home and society.
To this credo the Home Economics Club has turned in plan- ning the year's program. On September 16 at the College Lodge eighty-six freshmen were welcomed to the Home Economics Club, and upperclassmen and freshmen became acguainted with the new director, Dr. A. Pauline Sanders.
On October 11 entering freshmen were received into the Home Economics Club and initiation services were held.
The club conducted the Fifth Annual Conference of Home Economics on October 29. Dr. Freda G. Winning, assistant professor of education at New York University, gave information concerning "Home Economics in Progressive Developments in Education." After the luncheon served by the School Lunch and Foods Classes the alumnae continued their day with the college Homecoming activities.
The Country Club was the scene of the annual Freshman- Sophomore Party on November 11. ' 'The Status of Women' ' was the theme of Dr. Sanders' message that evening.
During American Education Week, the Home Economics Club endeavored to interpret the modern education program. This work was displayed in a special bulletin board, which featured illustrations from the divisions of Home Economics. Also, at the November meeting the idea of "Professional Atti- tudes" was stressed.
Christmas spirit was in evidence during the week before the vacation. Baskets were packed with food and delivered to families who otherwise would have been without gifts. Dolls newly outfitted were distributed to children by the Lions Club.
86
At the close of the first semester the executive council was entertained at a formal dinner by Dr. Sanders. Following the dinner, the council met to discuss policies and to plan a partial program for the club activities of the second semester. This meeting offered an excellent opportunity for the officers and representatives to give suggestions upon which to formulate future plans.
On St. Valentine's Day Miss Irene McDermott, senior super- viser of home economics at Pittsburgh, was present at the club meeting and gave a resume of the many phases of home econom- ics which a prospective teacher must consider. Refreshments appropriate to the day were served. At the March meeting Mr. Orval Kipp followed his discussion on 'Design" by a clever and entertaining chalk talk.
Tempting breakfast aromas and spring in the air urged all Home Ec'ers to rise early for the annual May Day Breakfast, the Home Ec way of starting May Day with proper gayety.
Individual members gained recognition by taking part in assembly programs and by organizing entertainment for the Saturday dances. The spring fashion review presented a great variety of colors and styles brought to life through the new spring models.
Spring activities were climaxed by the Junior-Senior Merry- Go. Gay decorations, bright gowns, and the music cast a true Merry-Go jollity over the dancers.
The officers who are responsible for guiding the Home Economics Club were: first semester, Marion Henderson, Presi- dent; Lorma Querry, Vice-President; Jean Leddicoat, Secretary; Helen Horsky, Treasurer. Second semester officers were: Josephine Boarts, President; Elsie Ellenberger, Vice-President; Arlene Hughes, Secretary; Helen Horsky, Treasurer. The club's new adviser has been Dr. Sanders, and Miss Esther Alden has been the sponsor.

International
delations
Club
The International Relations Club was organized under the auspices of the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace. The purpose of this non-partisan group is to give interested students the opportunity to discuss problems of international affairs. By doing this it is hoped that students will fix their attention on those underlying principles of international con- duct, international law, and on the international organization which must be agreed upon and applied if peaceful civiliza- tion is to continue. In addition to the regular meetings the club sponsors monthly Open Forums to which all students and faculty members are invited.
The local I.R.C. is a single unit of a group of eight hundred clubs in colleges and universities throughout the world. The national headguarters sends the "Fortnightly Summary of International Events" to the club as well as a generous number of books. These books, dealing with events of international importance, are placed in the library for the use of the club members.
The Student Co-operative Association made it possible for the local I.R.C. to send four delegates to the Middle Atlantic I.R.C. Conference held at Swarthmore College last December. Here the Indiana delegates took an active part in the various committee discussions concerning such sub- jects as "The European Crisis," "The Jewish Situation," and "America's Foreign Policy." The representatives were also able to bring back to the club much information learned while hearing several internationally known lecturers.
By invitation the club selects its members from any department in the college. They must show an interest in national and international affairs and have the ability to lead discussion groups.
Under the leadership of President Stewart Johnston; Vice-President Grace Mancuso; Secretary Rhoda Kepler; Assistant Secretary Helen Csiszar; Treasurer Ardell Haines; and Sponsor Miss Ethel A. Belden, the International Rela- tions Club has endeavored to make its influence felt on this campus.

Last year we Travelers went to Buffalo to see the ships, harbor, and water front. From Buffalo we went to Niagara Falls. Arriving at our hotel in the evening we went to the falls before attacking the dining room. Next morning we viewed the American Falls and then traveled to the Lake Ontario end of the stream. We were able to see the whirl- pool, rock stratification, Indians fishing with spears, effects of glaciation, and the remains of the ice gorge.
In the afternoon we enjoyed being treated as foreigners on the Canadian side. We even donned raincoats in order that we might go beneath the falls. We traveled to the Welland Canal to see the locks in operation. A boat entered the canal, passing from one lock to another. This enabled us to see the water pour into the locks, lift the boats higher and enable them to pass through the heavy gates into another lock. We remained in Canada after dark to see the play of colored lights on the falls and to visit the electric power plant. The following day we departed by way of the Lake Erie plain and vineyard belt for Indiana.
Our second year's activities began with Alice Moorehead as President, Mary Lou Watson as Vice-President, James Herron as Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. L. C. Davis as sponsor.
With traveling the central theme of the club, plans were made to climax the year with a trip to the New York World's Fair under the supervision of Mr. L. C. Davis and Dr. Norah E. Zink. Reservations were made for two days at the Taft Hotel. Plans included visits to the Foreign, the Communica- tion, the League of Nations, and the Foods and Agriculture exhibits, as well as a trip around Manhattan Island, later absorbing some of the glamour of the "Great White Way."

Johnstown
Student
Teachers
Early in September, 1938, the Indiana student teachers assigned to Johnstown met in the Y.M.C.A. building to organize the Johnstown Student Teachers Club.) Dr. Wilda Lea Montgomery, sponsor of the organization, stated its purposes to be both professional and social, not only to enable the seven members to hear the comments of experienced educators and to discuss problems relative to their respective teaching fields, but also to furnish a means whereby they might enjoy many social activities.
Meetings of this club were held once every three weeks in the Y.M.C.A. and were conducted by students representing certain subject matter fields. The prominent feature of the first gathering was a speech by Mr. C. E. Shappell, principal of the Westmont-Upper Yoder High School, in which he pointed out the correlation of mathematics with other subjects. After a brief period devoted to guestioning the speaker, the group enjoyed a delightful social hour. The December meeting took the form of a Christmas party at which the club exchanged inexpensive presents and gave Dr. Montgomery a beautiful gift. The last meeting, held at the home of Dr. Montgomery, was devoted first to the finishing of all professional duties and activities and then to an evening of games, dancing, and refreshments.
During the semester Dr. Richard Madden, Director of Teacher Training at Indiana, made several visits to Johnstown to observe the student teachers and to confer with them about their prob-
lems.
Officers of the club were: Richard Boyd, President; Anthony Dotto, Vice-President; Bette Phillips, Secretary; Betty Goodman, Treasurer; Mary Louise Fitzpatrick, Publicity Agent.

Johnstown Student Teachers
The second semester Johnstown Student Teachers Club was organized on Monday, January 30, 1939. The first meeting was held at the home of Dr. Wilda Lea Montgomery, field supervisor of practise teaching in the Johnstown area. The aims and objectives of the club were discussed, and plans for the remainder of the semester were made. The purposes were: first, to meet semi-monthly for pedagogical growth and insight into the progress being made in the world of education; second, to conduct round table discussions on various classroom problems; third, to contact teachers in service to offer suggestions toward the development of finer technic and proficiency in teaching.
The meetings held on the first Monday of each month consisted of professional and social programs under the guidance of Dr. Montgomery. Each member presented problems in his major fields at the professional and social meetings. Lunches, theatre parties, and various other activities were held during the semester.
The meetings not only served as a social enterprise but also proved extremely educational. Following the plan adopted, the various fields represented in the semester's schedule were English, mathematics, social science, and geography.
The officers elected for the school term were: Robert Allen, President; Blair T. Leonard, Vice-President; Helen Clawson, Secretary-Treasurer. These officers working with Dr. Montgomery led the club through a very successful semester.

Junior Chamber of Commerce
The Freshman Junior Chamber of Commerce, organized in September, 1938, under the sponsorship of Ethel L. Farrell, was composed of one hundred seventy-three freshmen from the Department of Business Education. Because of the large number of freshmen enrolled this year, Mr. Hill suggested that the students of the department be organized into two groups in order that the freshmen might receive specialized training in extra-curricular activities.
The officers were chosen on the basis of guality points earned and on the principle that those who have ability should be given the authority and the responsibility for carrying on the affairs of the entire group.
The officers for the first semester were: President, Dorothy Darabinus; Assistant President, Betty Brandon; Vice-Presi- dent, Elizabeth Yurcina; Assistant Vice-President, Melba Stahl; Treasurer, Pauline Weed; Assistant Treasurer, Eliza- beth Corcoran; Secretary, Florence Gill; Assistant Secre- tary, Genet Stull.
The officers for the second semester were: President, Dorothy Karabinus; Assistant President, Florence Gill; Vice- President, Elizabeth Corcoran; Assistant Vice-President, Elizabeth Hassel; Treasurer, Betty Kane; Assistant Treasurer, Pauline Weed; Secretary, Genet Stull; Assistant Secretary, Jean Whitney.
With a real, alive interest in making themselves better speakers, the members of the Freshman J. C.C. devoted much time to this work. Co-operating with the speech classes, each member made several appearances in one of the programs presented each week for the entire student body.
This group helped sponsor four important social events — the Freshman Outing, the Senior Outing, the Commercial Tea, and the April Fool's Party.
The commercial freshmen are looking forward to next fall when they will become active members of the Chamber of Commerce.
92
The Chamber of Commerce, comprised of sophomores, juniors, and seniors of the Business Education Department, played an active part in activities during the 1938-1939 year.
The fall outing at the school lodge acguainted the upper- classmen with the freshmen. A varied program of student stunts was featured.
Collection of dues becomes a factor in the management of every organization. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Ernest J. McLuckie a new method originated. The students were divided into five teams, each with a captain and two co- captains who motivated the members. The three teams which collected their dues first received awards.
Election of officers was the center of attention in Novem- ber when the members elected the following: President, Wade Wentzel; Vice-President, Joseph Shuster; Treasurer, Howard Porter; Secretary, Kathryn Meckling; and Corre- sponding Secretary, Ruth Gardner. These officers will serve until March, 1940, when the assistants who were elected in September will take over the leadership of the organization.
In December the organization treated the orphans of the Willard Home to the annual Christmas Party. Santa Claus brought many toys for the excited orphans.
A Valentine Party was given on February 17. Songs by Mr. McLuckie, a magician's act by Howard Zacur, a Baby Snooks act by Lucille Robertson and Connie McGinnis, and dancing were the evening's highlights.
Mr. McLuckie proposed correspondence with high- school commercial clubs. Students who could write creative, newsy, and properly formulated letters selected a high- school club president to correspond with. Mr. McLuckie eventually hopes to organize a Pennsylvania Federation of Commercial Clubs.
The Commercial Tea in April stood out as the year's important event. The affair, open to all in the college, featured dancing and a program.
The seniors became guests at the Spring Outing, a fare- well party recalling a successful year.

Leonard Literary Society
Officers: Hope Walt, Vice-President; Edna Lee Sprowls, Sponsor; Frank McGrew, President; Esther Bender, Financial Secretary; Raymond Johnston, Treasurer; Helen Garey, Secretary
Leonard Literary Society affords an opportunity for both students and local enthusiasts to witness performances of professional and semi-professional notables. It is one of the societies on the Indiana campus that offers pro- fessional literary enjoyment. Organized in honor of the late Jane E. Leonard, the Leonard Literary Society is imbued with the purpose of discovering student actors and presenting professional talent. It is an outgrowth of two societies organized in the early days of the institu- tion, Erodelphian and Hughenian.
The professional performances of this year were of dramatic note. The Jitney Players, for almost two decades a strolling company, presented S. N. Behrman's "End of Summer" and a musical version of Washington Irving' s "Rip Van Winkle." This traveling troupe was organized fifteen years ago by Bushnell Cheney, a young player in John Barrymore's "Hamlet" company, with the artful aid of his wife Alice. Today the company founded on the ramparts of Mr. Barrymore's Elsinore is managed by John Barrymore's niece, Ethel Barrymore Colt, in co-operation with Alice Cheney and Douglas Rowland.
To complete the interest in drama the Hedgerow Theatre made the second successive visit to the campus, presenting Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jcnes" and
94
George Bernard Shaw's "Candida." Under the ski direction of Jasper Deeter, the Hedgerow founder, the group has completed the largest repertoire to be carried on road by any company in recent years. The Hedgerow name awarded by Ann Harding, one of the original company, has been carried on for fifteen years. Its success can be attributed to group-work and co-opera- tion. By working together under varied conditions and in many plays this theatre has built a closely-knit dramatic skill, envied by companies the world over. Increased popularity and success has not diminished the idealism of the Hedgerovians; on the contrary, it has enabled them, through economic security, to devote more time and painstaking care to every new production. Often a play may rehearse for three to four months before being added to their repertoire, which is now the largest in America. The working idea of the Hedgerow group is repertory: that is, presenting a different play each night on a rotating system. It is a plan devised for the actor, giving each one a chance to try diversified roles and thus develop himself and his art.
Among the semi-professional performances is the annual three-act college play giving the students an opportunity to demonstrate their respective abilities. Amateur presentations given every Monday night under the direction of Edna Lee Sprowls, sponsor of Leonard Literary Society, give the dramatic society a fully rounded literary appeal.

Mathematics Club
The Mathematics Club is a professional organization for the study of interesting topics not discussed in classes. At the meet- ings subjects from magazines and lectures concerning mathe- matics were reviewed. "The Probable Future Development in Mathematics" has been a subject worthy of discussion. Recrea- tional mathematics and other topics which might help the teacher in making mathematics more interesting to the pupil were presented.
Early in the fall Lois Waugaman gave a very informative summary of the Western Pennsylvania Mathematics Conference held in Pittsburgh. This included reports from several of the well-known teachers of mathematics in Pennsylvania, which enabled the students to gain a broader view of the situation as it exists today. In the spring a professional meeting was held with the Indiana High School teachers of mathematics leading the discussion.
At the annual conference held last December the members had the opportunity of hearing Dr. Clark, a nationally known mathematician from the Lincoln School. He spoke on "The Recent Trends in Mathematics." The annual spring outing was the closing feature of the year. Out in the open with May in full swing, algebra, analytics, calculus, and trigonometry were all forgotten for the moment.
The officers of the club were: President, Wilbur Wisor; Vice-President, Garnet Moore; Secretary, Ralph Mitchell; and Treasurer, Budd Wolfe. The sponsor was Miss Mahachek.

Science Majors
Because of the wide differences in the field of science, several clubs were organized in the Science Department to meet these varied needs. The Biology Club is a small select group having informal organization and holding informal meetings. This activity group has carried on several pieces of research work, such as a study of the type of animal life in the area of the College Lodge. The Photography Club made its appearance for the second time on Indiana's campus and was active during good weather. The Out-of-Doors Club boasted a membership of nearly fifty. This group took several hikes and held meetings at which certain observations were discussed. The Nature Study Club consisted of twelve students who voluntarily set up a course which they followed. One phase of the work consisted of a study of camp counselorship.
The Science Department through Mr. Emmert also showed noon movies for the student body. Besides furnishing informa- tive and interesting entertainment the films were exhibited to teach what type of picture was suitable for student activities from the educational standpoint.
The Science Majors must also be accredited with the achieve- ment of having a skeleton and stuffed animals looking out of the windows of the south side of Leonard Hall, as well as with the very odoriferous odors that float through the whole building.
99
String Quartet
The College String Quartet is one of the several small ensembles of its kind in the Music Educa- tion Department. This group is organized as a laboratory for the study of guartet style and the literature of chamber music. Work is arranged so that students of ability may become progres- sively acguainted with the classic guartets of Boccherini, Haydn, Mozart together with the more modern works of Debussy, Rietti, and Bridge.
This year the guartet played several programs in the high schools of near-by towns; it appeared in an original composition recital and in a pro- gram given for the All-State Choral Festival Group. It assisted in one of the radio broad- casts in April and shared part of the spring concert given by the College Choir.
The personnel of the guartet is as follows: Pearl R. Reed, first violin; Marjorie K. Johnston, second violin; Frank Illar, viola; Janet Irey, cello.
100
The Music Educators Club is composed of the entire membership of the Music Education Department. All students in the department are automatically members of the club. The group sponsors a series of informal student recital teas and concert trips to Johnstown and Pittsburgh to hear some of the world-renowned artists, en- sembles, and major symphony orchestras. The group also sponsors special entertainments for the Saturday night dances and numbers among its members several dance orchestra groups which play for the college dances and off- campus activities. At the student recital teas each class within the group acts as sponsor and performs the duties of host and hostess. The officers for this year were: President, Charles Winger; Secretary, Evelyn Colabine; Treasurer, Glenn Davis; Sponsor, Irving Cheyette.

Symphony Orchestra
The College Symphony Orchestra provides splendid opportunity for the advancement of individual skill and feeling for ensemble of each of its members. Because of the high standard of group performance, each indi- vidual is challenged to give his finest work to the group.
This music group scans the broad field of orchestral literature from the classicists to works of contemporary composers. Its repertoire for this year included works of Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, MacDowell, Goldmark, and Sibelius. In addition, the orchestra read, played, and enjoyed for itself the works of many other composers.
Contributions to other campus programs — a chil- dren's concert, a radio broadcast, music festivals, etc. — were made most willingly. However, the culmination of hard work and earnest attempts to secure truth in interpretation came with the annual concert early in March:
Overture, Marriage of Figaro Mozart
Symphony No. VII, A major Beethoven
Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra . . . Charles Lore
Petite Suite Debussy
Call of the Plains Goldmark
Lawrence C. Stitt, Conductor Pearl R. Reed, Assistant Conductor

The College Symphonic Band is composed pri- marily of students who are majoring in the Music Education Department, but it is also open to students in the entire college who can gualify on their instrument for a place in this group. The present enrollment numbers seventy stu- dents.
The programs of the major works composed for this medium of musical expression included compositions by Bach, Beethoven, Rossini, Verdi, Herold; and the works of modern American composers, including Percy Grainger, Ferde Grofe, Thomas Griselle, Victor Herbert; and of modern European composers, including Ravel, Debussy, Haydn Wood, Thomas Curzon, and others. The band has appeared in concert for school assemblies and at the Indiana High School. A series of outdoor Twilight Campus Concerts was given during the late afternoons in May. The sponsor is Irving Cheyette.

Woodwind Quintet
Advanced students on woodwind instruments and horn make up the Woodwind Quintet, a non- credit extra-curricular organization which has for its purpose the study of chamber music and the achievement of fine ensemble. The quintet appeared on numerous programs throughout the year. "I.S.T.C. on the Air" claimed the services of this group for the first broadcast. It was heard in formal student recitals and in programs for the Faculty Club and the Elementary Club. In order to stimulate study of the more unusual instruments, the quintet gave programs in the high schools of Armagh and Heilwood. The pro- grams consisted of solos by each of the quintet members and ensemble numbers.
Personnel: Mary Sauers, Flute; Harvey Per- rine, Oboe; Enid Koontz, Bassoon; Frank Astor, French Horn; William Steele, Clarinet (Student Director); Lawrence C. Stitt, Faculty Sponsor.

The Marching Band is made up of all the men in the Concert Band. The personnel of fifty-four men is fully uniformed in the school colors of slate and maroon. The Marching Band serves a two-fold function in that it appears for the home football games as well as for patriotic programs in the community, and it also serves to teach the students in the Music Education Department the technique of handling a maneuvering band on the football field. This year the Marching Band performed many involved evolutions on the field such as pin wheels, hollow squares, sguads right and left, arrows — all done while playing on the march. Without doubt these maneuvers do much to heighten the spirit and fun in foot- ball games, not only on Indiana campus but on the football fields of high schools in the service area. The officers of the band this year were: Irving Cheyette, Conductor; Paul Noel, Drum Major; Robert Johnson, Sergeant Major.

Lyric Choir
The Lyric Choir is a musical organization com- posed of girls outside of the Music Department who love music and enjoy an hour of singing each Wednesday afternoon. Many were mem- bers of former high-school glee clubs, choruses, or choirs and wished to continue participation in music throughout their college years.
The selection of music represents a wide variety of compositions, attempting to include numbers of every description so that the choices of various members might be included. In interpreting the music the girls not only devel- oped the technical but the emotional side as well.
For the past year the choir was under the direction of Mr. lames Remley, with Nancy Palmer as accompanist. The officers were: President, Lois Christy; Vice-President, Ella Mae Shiesl; and Treasurer, Agnes Geiger. The Librarians were Vivian St. Clair and Betty Rouch.
Activities of the year included a spring con- cert, a church service, an assembly program, and a recital given in the Music Department.
106
The Vesper Choir, which sings each Sunday night at the Vesper Service in the College Audi- torium, extends to all students an opportunity to spend a guiet hour away from books and classes.
This year the white vestments which the choir formerly wore were replaced by new grey robes.
For the first time in the history of the organiza- tion, the choir had the honor of accepting an invitation to sing for the Union Service in the First Presbyterian Church on Palm Sunday. "The Crucifixus" from the "B Minor Mass" by Johann Sebastian Bach and two old English songs were included on the program as well as several other Easter and Lenten numbers.
The choir is composed of all freshman and sophomore girls in the Music Department and is open to girls in other departments who wish to join. Under the capable leadership of Miss Aagot M. K. Borge, the girls' voices blend in harmony in the lovely anthems appropriate to the seasons of the year.

107
Men's Glee Club
The Men's Glee Club is open to all men in the college who enjoy singing, regardless of their ability to read music. At the present time there are fifty men in the club. The purpose of this organization is two-fold: first, to survey available literature which the students in the Music Edu- cation Department might use with high-school glee clubs, and secondly, to prepare a reper- toire of sacred and secular songs which can be used for concert purposes. The Men's Glee Club has participated in concerts on and off the campus and in broadcasts from I.S.T.C.'s audi- torium over station WHJB. The officers of the Men's Glee Club were: Irving Cheyette, Con- ductor; and Charles Lore, Student Conductor and Accompanist.
108
The College Choir is composed primarily of students who are majoring in Music Education; but it is also open to students in the entire college who can sing acceptably and meet the require- ments musically. This year's enrollment was eighty-five members.
Here the student becomes acquainted with the methods and procedure for the attainment of superior choral singing through the use of the richest material in the field of musical literature.
This year the choir chose to change its name from A Cappella Choir to College Choir, in order that it need not be restricted entirely to an a cappella repertoire. Although continuing to sing most of its music a cappella, the choir also sings music with piano and orchestral accompaniment.
Since the beginning of the school year, the choir has appeared on innumerable programs on campus and throughout the service area.

Newman Club
The first meeting of the year, which was open to all students, featured an informal talk by Father James Brady, spiritual adviser of the organization. Father Brady told many experiences of his travels abroad last summer.
An outing attracted the members to the College Lodge in October. Hair-raising ghost thrillers told in the dark, appropriate Halloween games, and hamburgers made in the good outdoor style — all these gave the merry-makers a treat.
Between the regular monthly business meetings occasional communion breakfasts, where programs of a religious nature prevail, furthered the ideals of the club.
With February came the highlight of the season's social activities, a formal dinner dance at the Country Club. The guests will long remember Father Brady's amusing tales, Miss Slaven's usual congeniality, Miss Muldowney's expert music direct- ing, Joe Chenet's hearty welcome, Father Mullen's humorous remarks, the piano solos from the balcony, the guips of the mistress of ceremonies, Helen Csiszar, and the atmosphere of gaiety.
The crowning event was the spring outing, again at the College Lodge, when fond farewells were bid to the departing seniors. Clever sketches and amus- ing skits were presented by the honored guests.
The following officers were responsible for making this a successful year for the Newman Club: Presi- dent, Joe Chenet; Vice-President, William Santa Maria; Recording Secretary, Eileen Feeney; Cor- responding Secretary, Harry Grandinetti; Treasurer, Charles DiMauro; Historian, Sam Costantino; Spon- sor, Estella Slaven; Executive Council, Helen Csiszar, Grace Mancuso, Angela Plesniak, Emil Terchila, Mary Thomas, Robert Reynolds, and Mary Zuzik.

The Young Men's Christian Association is an organiza- tion of the men of this college, established expressly to correlate religion with college life.
The work of the "Y" began early this year. Members gave assistance to the dean of men when the freshmen first arrived on campus in the fall. At that time a group acted as combined reception and placement committee for incoming freshmen. In the ensuing week the annual get-together was held to acguaint freshmen with upper- classmen.
The campus meetings of the "Y" for the first semester consisted of a series of lectures given by faculty members, dealing with religious philosophy and educational sub- jects. The first of the meetings was initiated by having Mr. Miller as speaker. Early in the semester the organi- zation was fortunate in securing the services of Francis Campbell as chaplain and Robert Johnson as student music director for the year. In following meetings vari- ous faculty men were secured to lead the social-religious bi-monthly meetings. The roster of speakers for the first semester consisted of Dr. Eicher, Dr. Davis, Mr. Chew, and Dr. Smyth.
The social program of the "Y" for the first semester reached its climax in the Steak Fry held at the College Lodge on December 14. At this get-together "Mother" Folger officiated in the capacity of culinary artist. A community sing got under way with Robert Johnson con- ducting, Dr. Cheyette guest-conducting, and Dr. Eicher occupying the position of pianist for the evening. What latent ability as singers existed in the group was brought forth under the direction of the aforementioned musi- cians.
One of the first meetings of the second semester was under the leadership of Mr. Kipp who gave an enter- taining chalk-talk ranging from drawing caricatures to making portraits. Following this meeting the Y.M.C.A. initiated the plan of having students act as leaders for the bi-monthly meetings. In addition, two "Y" Vesper meetings were conducted by James McKee and Edward Everett with Robert Johnson and Francis Campbell assisting.
The officers for the past year were Edward Everett, President; Ross Adams, Vice-President; Joseph Shoen- felt, Secretary; Wade Wentzel, Treasurer; and Mr. Merrill B. lams, Sponsor.

"We, who would serve the King, loyally Him obey, in the consecrate silence know that the challenge still holds today." This characterizes the spirit of the Young Women's Christian Association, an important organization on the campus since 1897. No other characteristic of the group so well expresses fellowship and development.
The cabinet members for this year were: President, Helen Maher; Vice-President, Lois Dickinson; Secretary, Sara Miller; Treasurer, Charlotte Litsinger; Program Chairman, Betty Brown; Social Service Chairman, Melissa Red- foot; Music Chairman, Cleora Peters; Social Chairman, Margaret Carnahan; Finance Chair- man, Evelyn Aten; Publicity Chairman, June Wilgus; Morning Watch Chairman, Agnes Geiger; Publications Chairman, Elsie Ellen- berger. The advisors of the committees were Mrs. Alma Gasslander, Program; Marion Wills, Membership; Mary Hart, Social; Lola Beelar, Music; and Dorothy Murdock, Art.
A program for the year was planned at the annual week-end retreat at the school lodge. Many suggestions for the program were derived from inspirations that the cabinet members re- ceived during the summer conference at Eagles- mere, a leaders camp.
112
Of the Vesper Services during the year the Young Women's Christian Association partici- pated in four. One was the traditional Thanks- giving Service, "The Burning Altar." Early in the year the Candle Light Service, an induction of new members, was held. As each girl filled her place in the lighted triangle, she became a vital unit in the organization. Each Monday morning in the "Y" room at seven o'clock, there was a Morning Watch Service. Before Thanks- giving and Easter vacations special morning services were held.
Thoughtfulness for others was shown by the work of the members of the Social Service Com- mittee, which distributed gifts of food to needy families, visited children in the hospital and Willard Home, and sent supplies to mountaineer schools.
Social activities included bi-weekly teas. Interest was added by such features as "ghost hostesses" at Halloween and the Minuet at the Colonial Party. The traditional Mardi Gras introduced freshmen to upperclassmen.
This year the central theme for the meetings was "Women's Position in a Changing World," "Woman's Position in Scandinavia," "Women's Position under Dictatorships," "Professional Contacts," and "Adjustment to Woman's Posi- tion" were topics discussed by guest speakers.

Student Co-operative Association
The Student Co-operative Association is the key organization in the extra-curricular life of Indiana. The association, a student-faculty gov- erning group, is composed of the fifteen mem- bers of the Student Council and seven faculty members. The body was organized in 1933 and since that time has had complete control over the collecting and budgeting of student activity fees. It also supervises the Co-operative Book Store.
Among the activities wholly or partially financed by the Co-operative Association are college publications, the lecture program, regu- lar school dances and other social activities, and all phases of sports for both men and women. The Student Co-operative also owns the college bus, which was purchased to increase the avail- ability of efficient and economical transportation for Indiana's many curricular and extra-cur- ricular groups.
The Student Co-operative Association fur- nished the money for such delegations as those to the Northwestern States Conference, the Intercollegiate Government Conference, and the International Relations Club Conference. The funds to carry on all this highly beneficial work is made available by the students them- selves, either through their activity fees or through their patronage of the book store.

The Student Council, consisting of four repre- sentatives from the senior class, four from the junior class, three from the sophomore class, two from the freshman class, the president of the Resident Women's Student League, and the president of the Men's Student League, is the organization on the campus that makes policy for the students. The distribution of members makes a well-balanced group which presents and handles the problems of all four classes.
The purpose of the council is to promote the best interests of the college. This is accomplished through the co-operation of the students with the members of the organization.
With the Student Council acting as a clearing house both faculty and students present prob- lems to this group. It is its duty and responsi- bility to work out the best possible solution and present it to the college.
This year saw the functioning of a more active student government than has been the case in
the past. Abolishing the tradition of keeping O. J F . /^y^^'/
business behind closed doors, the council be- <j v It'lA/v il/l/ \^JU 14/ 1 /■(/ v V
came more influential and helpful by publishing
some of its discussions and decisions in the
Penn.
Under the capable leadership of President Albert Zanzuccki a better understanding has developed between students and faculty.
115
Secondary Education Club
Since there was no active organization through which the professional difficulties of the secondary education students could be presented to the proper authorities, the Secondary Education Club was reorganized. This movement was brought about through the efforts of Mr. I. M. Uhler, present adviser.
Everyone enrolled in the secondary education cur- riculum is automatically a member of this club. The objectives of the organization are to give the students a voice in the affairs which concern them, to establish a bond of friendship among the members, and to uphold the professional standards of the college.
The club received such ardent support that it was able to provide hosts and hostesses together with a pleasing program for one of the Saturday dances and to have representatives take part in assembly programs.
At a joint meeting of the officers of the club and of the heads of the Mathematics, English, Geography, Social Science, and Education Departments the group decided to have two professional meetings and one social function for the semester. The first meeting of the club assumed the part of a combined cabinet and pro- fessional meeting at which time the following topics were discussed: "A Program for the Orientation of Secondary Education Freshmen," "The Secondary Education Stu- dents' Difficulties with English," "The Reguirements for Practice Teaching," and "What Type of a Social Func- tion Is Most Desirable?"
In the second professional meeting the members heard an administrator from the Department of Educa- tion at Harrisburg, speak about the trends in education. A gala social function terminated the semester activities.
116
The American College Quill Club is a national organiza- tion which was formed to encourage creative writing among college students. Ger Rune, the chapter "at Indiana State Teachers College, was admitted to national membership in 1930. At present the roster of runes includes Teoh, at the University of Kansas; Ur, at Kansas State College; Thoru, at the University of Wyoming; Os, at the University of Denver; Is, at the College of Emporia; Ger, at Indiana State Teachers College; Eoh, at Texas College of Mines; Eolh, at Fort Hays Kansas State College; and Gyfu, at Washington State College.
In the belief that group criticism will improve the guality of creative writing, Quill meetings are spent discussing manuscripts written by the members. Candi- dates for membership are considered solely on the merits of literary compositions submitted anonymously.
This year Ger Rune published its magazine, The Scroll. In content and form, the offerings in Scroll resemble those in most college magazines. There are the usual lyrical preoccupations with love and death and the outcries of youth against the social order.
The Chancellor of Ger Rune for this year was Edward Everett. Mrs. Helen Egleston continued as Vice- Chancellor. The Keeper of the Parchments was Sara Smith; the Scribe, Evelyn Aten; and the Warden of the Purse, William Johnson.

Elementary Club
As a means of bringing the Intermediate and Primary groups into closer relationship the Elementary Education Association was established to join the two clubs with Dr. James E. Eicher of the Psychology Department as adviser. The purpose of the organization is to establish and to maintain conditions essential to the best teaching service and to secure for its members the social, intellectual, and professional advantages that can be derived from co-operation. At an election held in the fall of 1938 the following officers were elected: Mary Jane Foster, President; Jane Dana, Secretary; and Arthur Glenn, Treasurer. The Executive Committee consisted of June Dorsey, Marie Myers, Betty Hartley, and Dorothy Nelson. The adviser of the Elementary Club and the dean of instruction acted in an advisory capacity to the executive committee.
The club had several guest speakers during the year. Mr. J. M. Uhler discussed problems of the curriculum at the begin- ning of the semester. Dr. Richard Madden, Director of Teacher Training, addressed the club on "Student Teaching," and Joy Mahachek from the Mathematics Department spoke on "Mathe- matics Courses at Indiana." During one of the meetings Dr. Eicher presented his viewpoints on scholarship. He encouraged the students to place good scholarship as a necessity for student teaching, for placement, and for personal satisfaction. He stressed the importance of scholarship as necessary to keep the standards on a college level. In keeping with the spirit of the season a Valentine social hour was held, during which time two films were shown. A musical program was given during the year by the Instrumental Quintet. In the spring the club sponsored a steak dinner held at the College Lodge. At a college assembly the department was represented by Marie Myers, whose subject was "Vocational Opportunities Offered to the Graduate of Elementary Education."
In order to acguaint high-school seniors throughout the state with the work and activities of the Elementary Department, pamphlets were issued and distributed.

Kappa Delta Pi
BETA GAMMA JOY MAHACHEK, COUNSELOR
Beta Gamma Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi was formally installed at Indiana State Teachers College in May, 1928. Kappa Delta Pi, a national honor society in education, which grew out of an educational club at the University of Illinois, was incorporated first as an honorary educational fraternity in 1911. At present there are one hundred and thirteen active chapters in uni- versity departments of education and in state teachers' colleges throughout the country. There is also a laureate chapter which includes in its membership many of the most distinguished educators in America.
The purpose of Kappa Delta Pi is "to encourage high intellectual and scholastic standards and to recognize outstanding contributions to education." Persons who are invited to membership must be scholastically superior and also must exhibit commendable personal gualities and worthy educational ideals. Membership in Kappa Delta Pi is the greatest single honor that can come to a student at Indiana.
In an effort to draw the members closer together as students of education, the programs of the monthly meetings this year have been a series of departmental round-table discussions. Kappa Delta Pi members belonging to each of the departments presented to the club the particular aims and problems of that field of education. At the November meeting members from the Music Department conducted a panel discussion on "Can Music in Public Schools Be Defended?" The January meeting was on "The Place of Art in the Lives of Everyone," after which the McAdory Art Discrimina- ion Test was administered to the whole group. A panel discussion on business education and a presentation of certain problems of secondary education were the pro- grams of the February and March meetings rounding out the series of departmental discussions.
The officers of Kappa Delta Pi for this year were: President, Vernon Zeitler; Vice-President, Betty Kanable; Recording Secretary, Anne O'Hara; Corresponding Secretary, Robert Hensel; Treasurer, Dixie Beachy; Historian, Russell Kelley; Sponsor, Joy Mahachek.

Gamma Rho Tau is a national honorary and professional business education fraternity for men. Only teachers in business educa- tion and those students who have completed one-half of a four-year course leading to a bachelor's degree in this work are invited to membership. Other gualifications include high scholastic standing and distinct ability as future teachers.
Gamma Rho Tau proposes to bring to- gether the great array of conscientious men engaged in commercial teaching in this country so that they may discuss their prob- lems with ease and thoroughness where the fraternal spirit may prevail. The purposes of this society are to promote a high grade of scholarship and character, to encourage a spirit of research among its members, to advance the professional attitude of the teacher in the classroom, and to forward the democratic ideal in education.
Beta chapter was organized at Indiana on January 4, 1929. There are also chapters at the University of Southern California and at Syracuse University.
The success of this year may be credited to Richard Seifert, President, and his assist- ants: Raymond Weamer, Vice-President; William Davis, Secretary; Ralph Roth, Treas- urer; Charles Slick, Historian; George Allison, Sergeant-at-Arms; and R. S. Row- land, Sponsor.

KAPPA R. F. WEBB, SPONSOR
Pi Omega Pi
Under the guidance of Helen Pezzuti, President of Kappa Chapter of the National Honorary Professional Business Education Fraternity, Pi Omega Pi came through another banner year. Noteworthy assistance was given by the other officers: Vice-President, Albert Zanzuccki; Sec- retary, Mildred Howe; Treasurer, Elfrieda Kuhn; His- torian, Kathryn Ebner; Reporter, Dixie Beachy; and Sponsor, Mr. R. F. Webb. This organization, the mem. bership to which comprises the highest attainable honor in the Business Education Department, has thirty-three chapters in the United States.
The big event of the year took place in November when thirty-one initiates in the fraternity united with the initiates in Gamma Rho Tau as guests of the two organiza- tions at a joint banguet at the Country Club. Faculty, alumni, and student presidents of both organizations contributed to the pleasures of the evening. After dinner the tables were cleared away and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing.
The professional meetings this year consisted of dis- cussing current problems confronting the fraternity at the time, reading and enlarging upon professional papers that each pledge contributed before being accepted as a member, and analyzing and comparing methods and problems of teaching as they were faced by the first-semester student teachers.
It is the belief of Pi Omega Pi that more attention and real interest should be given to the typical problems and situations that face the business education student teachers. Through the various solutions that are sug- gested it is hoped that the members will be better pre- pared when they go out into the field.
At the March meeting a guest speaker gave a very interesting and informative talk. At this time the annual "Newsletter" was distributed. The "Newsletter" is a pamphlet containing news of chapters, senior person- alities, alumni notes, and student professional research.
Mr. R. F. Webb, sponsor of the local chapter, is also national president of Pi Omega Pi.

The Alpha Omega Geographers, a local honorary fraternity, was organized to further profes- sional work and social contacts in the field of geography. Students eligible to membership are chosen from those having a B average in at least twelve hours of geography and having satis- factorily completed an original project.
Early in the year three senior pledges became members of this organization by taking formal initiation. Later the junior pledges who had completed acceptable work were also initiated.
The development of a course of study for geography in the senior high school was the theme of several programs. Following the interest developed last year in photography, a photography contest was held. The pictures were evaluated on the basis of their photographic gualities and on their pertinence to the study of geography.
The Alpha Omega Bulletin, an annual publication, was circulated among present members, alumni, superintendents of schools, and geography majors.
A social meeting January was held at the home of Mr. Boyts, the sponsor.
The officers for the year were: President, Lois Waugaman; Vice-President, Jean Roberts; Secretary, Rena Goltara; Treasurer, Roberta Jobe.

Panhellenic Association
The Panhellenic Association is composed of representatives from the seven A. E. S. sororities on the Indiana campus.
The officers were: President, Esther Bender, Pi Delta Theta; Recording Secretary, Mary Ruth Fairchild, Alpha Sigma Tau; Corresponding Secretary, Harriet Wright, Sigma Sigma Sigma; Treasurer, Lorma Querry, Alpha Sigma Alpha; Sponsor, Grace Houston, Theta Sigma Upsilon; Administrative Representative, Florence Kimball.
Panhellenic Tea, one of the first social affairs of the year, is the scene of mutual appraisal.
Swing tunes, dimmed lights, Dan Gregory, Christmas trees — all helped to make the Pan- hellenic Dance a gala Pre-Christmas event.
In connection with Social Service, Panhellenic contributed to the Community Chest Fund.
Panhellenic held a tea at the College Inn in honor of Mrs. Staley, an inspector from A. E. S; Mrs. Staley offered many valuable and worthwhile suggestions.
The school year was fittingly closed with the election of officers, an impressive installation service, and the formulation of the Panhellenic policy for the coming year.

Alpha Sigma Tau
DELTA ALMA GASSLANDER, ADVISER
Alpha Sigma Tau began back in 1899 at Ypsilanti, Michigan; one easily recognizes its inherent qualities- how it travels with the four winds and increases with age. This growth has been perpetuated by the purpose- ful striving to "act as self-reliant, trustworthy girls."
Tau-king in 1938-39 had a bit of a Southern accent, a touch of the literary, a dab of sophistication (in evidence many times). Aunt Jemima entertained fresh- man members and pledges at Rustic Lodge where all the Southern belles enjoyed fortune-telling, dancing, waffles and bacon.
Mrs. Gasslander's apartment was quite cozy the evening the Alpha Sigs met there to read "With Malice Toward Some." Snow outside was about four inches deep. Everyone made rye bread and cheese sandwiches and drank cokes from pewter goblets. These monthly social-professional meetings at the home of the sponsors or patronesses were very beneficial to all of the sorority members.
Progressively the Alpha Sigma Taus continued from cocktails and canapes at Mrs. Ellis's, to the main course at the tea room, and finally to Mrs. Ellis's recreation room. This was the second rush party, March 4.
The spring homecoming held in May was one of the most significant activities last year. The Alpha Sigs plan to make it an annual event which will link the alumnae and the members more closely to the local chapter. The bridge-luncheon at the College Inn was interspersed with reminiscence. The convivial atmosphere made the evening enjoyable.
These, with Founders Day banquet on November 4, were the outstanding social events of the year. The breakfasts at Rustic, especially on Black Friday, will not soon be forgotten.
The success of the year 1938-39 for Delta Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was in a large measure due to the inspiration and suggestions of our National President, Mrs. Carrie Staehle, who visited here in November, to the co-operative help of Elizabeth Weaver, and to the guidance of Alma Gasslander, sponsor. Officers have been: Helen Garey, President; Frances Jane Mountsier, - Vice-President; Margaret Stark, Recording Secretary; Ann Rees, Corresponding Secretary; Marion Weaver, Treasurer; Eileen Crum, Chaplain; Elsie Ellenberger, Historian; Betty Brown, Custodian; Mary Ruth Fairchild and Margaret McFeeley, Panhellenic Representatives.

Delta Sigma Epsilon
BETA KATE LACY, ADVISER
The Beta Chapter of Delta Sigma Epsilon had a most eventful year, varied enough to be interesting and informative enough to be stimulating.
Foremost of importance in events was the departure of Miss McLean for London University where she is doing graduate work. The Delts have missed her greatly during these busy weeks, but they all have the warmest and most enthusiastic things to say about Miss Lacy in thanking her for so aptly taking their sponsor's place.
Early in the year the group of pledges demanded certain privileges and was immediately organized into an active group which met every Thursday to study and to discuss its own problems while the "big girls" — President, Bernice Wirtz; Vice-President, Vieva Wonder; Corresponding Secretary, Anna Parahus; Recording Secretary, Sarah Leyshon; Treasurer, Evelyn Jackson; Chaplain, Eleanor Billig; Keeper-of-the-Archives, Rebec- ca Jane Auker; Sergeant-at-Arms, Mary Kaufman; Pan- hellenic Representatives, Virginia Minnich and Clara Mae Peterson — sweated (or shall we say perspired?) over current chapter problems.
First social affair initiated was the Dude Ranch Party, the sorority's first rush affair. This event brings memories of the prexy in chaps and a ten gallon hat, the smell of burning candles in nondescript bottles, the pungent odor of Italian spaghetti, and pantomimes in front of a roaring fire.
Then there was that Thursday eve in late December when initiates and pledges threw all cares aside to have what unofficially might have been called a Christmas party. Untying cellophane-wrapped presents, gorging unlimited amounts of chocolate candy, and community singing combined to create a gala evening.
Next, and most glamorous of all, was the rush party a la Country Club. With old-fashioned nosegays, fricasse chicken, a ballet dance, a swing band, a smooth dance floor, and guests egually as smooth this finale to the rush season was a truly grand gesture.
Pennies and nickles have been clinking in Delt banks all year, for the time has come 'round for the sorority's Silver Anniversary at Cincinnati, Ohio. The current motto of every Delt is "Cincinnati or Bust!"

GRACE HOUSTON, ADVISER
Since the establishment of Pi Chapter of Theta Sigma Upsilon at Indiana State Teachers College on April 15, 1935, three other chapters have been organized through- out the country.
Pi Chapter will remember 1938-39 as an outstanding year. The officers were: President, Emma Pfahler; Vice- President, Frances Urey; Recording Secretary, Mary Foster; Corresponding Secretaries, Roberta Morris, Marie Myers; Treasurer, Lillian Little; Editor, Mary Michaelson; Sergeant-at-Arms, Mary Feitt; Representa- tives to Panhellenic, Martha Denbow, Eileen Brassfield. Open House at the home of Miss Houston on October 1 was a delightful affair. The next event was the profes- sional meeting on October 13, at which time Mr. L. C. Davis spoke of the trip which he had conducted through the South. The highlight of the first semester was the freshman party at the College Lodge. In accordance with the Swedish theme, typical peasant costumes were in evidence everywhere and Swedish food filled the smorgaasbord. The gala Panhellenic Dance brought the Christmas season to a grand climax.
At the second semester professional meeting Dr. Richard Madden analyzed personality. Representatives from each sorority and all women's organizations were entertained by the Theta Sigs at a tea held in observance of Courtesy Day. The members bowed to the pledges for their display of originality in a Mardi Gras; at this party unique costumes and streamers of confetti com- bined to lend a festive air to the scene. A special event on the calendar was the visit of the National Editor, Mrs. Muriel Frehsee of Lockport, New York. Mrs. Frehsee spent March 11, 12, and 13 with the girls. The freshman get-acquainted formal was held at the Country Club which was transformed into a replica of the Fair, featur- ing the Avenue of Flags and carrying out ultra-modern designs with the use of spheres, cones, angles, and curves. Mothers Day was observed in the traditional manner by a Mother -Patroness Tea at which time the mothers became honorary members of the sorority. With the annual Rose Day Celebration and a final fare- well to the seniors, the last page was torn from the second semester's calendar.

LAMBDA EDNA LEE SPROWLS, ADVISER
Since the founding of the Alpha Chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma at Farmville, Virginia, in 1898, the purpose of the sorority has been "to build character, to stimulate high endeavor, to develop leadership, to promote unselfish co-operation, and to create the friendly spirit in all human relationships." This credo has been accepted and upheld by the work of thirty-two chapters scattered throughout the United States.
The officers of the local chapter of the sorority for the past year were: President, Ruth Miller; Vice-Presidents, Jane Dana and Jean Kensinger; Treasurer, Ruth Gard- ner; Recording Secretary, Frances Mottey; Correspond- ing Secretary, Lois Yothers; Panhellenic Representatives, Harriet Wright, Ruth Uhler, Betty Javens; Adviser, Edna Lee Sprowls.
Thursday evenings take on vital meaning to a Tri- Sig, for these are the nights set aside for sorority gather- ings. Sometimes the meetings of the Tri-Sigs are taken up in settling problems of a business nature. On other occasions Thursday evenings are devoted wholly to furthering professional advancement; these are the times that faculty members graciously present colorful contributions from their special interests.
The social life of the members in Sigma Sigma Sigma centers around several traditional parties of an informal nature.
A Tri-Sig is easily recognized by her badge, for it is an eguilateral triangle with an indented border of pearls, in the center of which is a raised portion of black enamel with a Sigma in each corner and skull and cross- bones in the center.
This past year the girls who pledged Tri-Sig wore a pledge pin which was an indented triangle of silver superimposed upon a silver circle, together with a purple and white scarf — both of which signified her allegiance to the sorority.
The month of June of this year has become Tri-Sig month in the minds of the sorority members, for it is in this period that a conclave of the entire national mem- bership will take place at Colorado Springs, Colorado.

ALPHA GAMMA
ADVISERS: ETHEL A. BELDEN, JOY MAHACHEK
The year 1938-39 proved to be both eventful and suc- cessful for the Alpha Sigs. Miss Mahachek and Ada St. Clair represented Alpha Gamma Chapter at the National Convention in Yellowstone National Park, August 22 to 26.
Congratulations to Amy Alvord who married Robert A. Olson, November 5, 1938, at her home in Indiana.
Approximately forty members, patronesses, guests, and alumnae attended at the College Inn the annual Founders Day Luncheon Saturday, November 12. After a delightful luncheon and renewed associations Miss Belden invited the group to her house for the program.
December 2 stood out prominently on the sorority calendar. On that day the sorority and twenty freshmen put their hair in pigtails, donned hair ribbons and ankle sox, and trooped out to Indian Springs for a Kids Party.
Miss Mahachek invited the girls to her home for a Christmas Party December 17. The seasonal songs and the Christmas tree surrounded by presents suggested a gay holiday atmosphere and offered an ideal send-off for the approaching vacation.
The next important event was a professional meeting at Miss Belden's home January 13. Miss Farrell spoke on the "History and Psychology of Hands."
Anchors Aweigh! All aboard for the National Party at the Country Club. Twenty freshman girls and their hostesses set sail on a world cruise Friday, March 10. Music by Glenn Davis' Orchestra added zest to the evening's entertainment, providing the atmosphere for the strange adventures encountered at every port.
April Fool's Day this year was no joker for the Alpha Sigs. The Pittsburgh Alumnae Chapter entertained the group with a luncheon at the College Club in Pittsburgh.
The year's program ended in May with the Spring Banguet and the Senior Breakfast.
The officers for the past year were: President, Ada St. Clair; Vice-President, Rheva Miller; Secretary, Ruth Cox; Treasurer, Katherine Dietrich; Chaplain, Sara Miller; Registrar, Mildred Baumgardner; Panhellenic Representative, Dorothy Hoey; Collegiate Representa- tive, Lorma Querry; Editor, Josephine Okerberg.

Occasion — Examination of Sigma Tau Gamma pledges.
Cast of Characters — Pledges, Fraternity Officers.
President — "Pledge Smith, as one of the duties of your pledge period you are to be given an oral examina- tion by the Vice-President. We assume that you have studied sufficiently."
Vice-President — "Will you please inform me of the classification of this fraternity?"
Pledge — "Sigma Tau Gamma is a national, social, pro- fessional fraternity operating in four year, degree- granting teachers' colleges."
Vice-President — "What was the ideal of the seventeen founders of the national organization?"
Pledge — "I hate to aet conceited, but that one's easy. They planned and accomplished the fostering of a social and professional brotherhood in teachers col- leges, something I'll forever appreciate."
Vice-President — "That's the old spirit, kid. But perhaps you might slip up on a guestion concerning local organization. First, who are the local officers?"
Pledge— "Listen to this. I'm good, and here they are: past Presidents, Bob Hensel and Ralph Kier; Presi- dent, John Paulisick; Vice-President, Walter Wine- man; Treasurer, Henry Sulkey; Assistant Treasurer, Joseph Shuster; Recording Secretary, Charles Coop- er; Corresponding Secretary, Ralph Mitchell; House Manager, Ernest Kelley; Sergeant-at-Arms, Dale Diehl; Chaplain, Jack Roush; Historian, Steve Golish; "Saga" Correspondent, Ardell Haines; and Repre- sentatives to Interfraternity Council, John Paulisick and Ralph Kier."
Vice-President — "That's fine. But maybe you haven't heard of the professional meetings and parties we've held this year. How about it?"
Pledge — "Well, you seem to be taking advantage of me. However, you held a form of "Kids Party" the first semester and another party this semester. As for professional meetings you've had Dr. Sollberger for one, Walter Wineman for another, and Mr. Schnell for the latest one."

Vice-President — "Good for you. We also held two pro- fessional meetings the first semester. Now let's go back a little. When was Pi chapter organized and give me some of its history."
Pledge — "Another easy one. The National "Taus" accepted Pi chapter in November, 1930, and we were incorporated from the local Phi Kappa Delta fra- ternity. Early in the next spring our fraternity home was purchased, and since then we've made great strides toward the true fraternity life and spirit."
Vice-President — "Wonderful, and who won the National Honor Keys this year?"
Pledge — "One of our men, Robert Hensel, achieved the gold key for an outstanding record in activities while John Paulisick received the coveted honor key for scholarship. Say, aren't you soon finished?"
Vice-President — "Yes, but don't get excited. Soon you'll have to write the Greek alphabet, and other mis- cellaneous matters will have to be taken care of."
Pledge — "That's okay, I guess, and don't forget that I'll soon be a brother of yours."
Vice-President — "If you keep up the good work, you will. And now may I congratulate you upon the successful completion of your test, and let's hope you get to give some next year."

Phi Alpha Zeta
ALPHA TOBIAS O. CHEW, SPONSOR
On the fifteenth day of September, nineteen hundred and thirty- eight, the Phi Alphs assembled at the fraternity house to begin their thirty-first year of successful fraternalism. The following purposes were foremost in the minds of the fellows: first, to encourage and develop good fellowship and fraternalism within the group; second, to further scholastic endeavor; third, to build character and to provide an opportunity for prospective teachers to formulate ideas concerning their chosen profession.
Phi Alpha Zeta, having the distinction of being the oldest fraternity on the campus, originated as the Delta Phi Sigma fraternity in 1908. In 1912 it became the Iota chapter of Phi Alpha, and in 1929 it was incorporated as Alpha chapter of Phi Alpha Zeta.
Members of the fraternity participated in all the major sports programs and achieved further distinction of athletic merit by capturing the intramural crown in basketball.
Breaking away from the ordinary, the fraternity, with a decided slant toward the extraordinary in amusement, delved into the casino-cabaret style of entertainment and staged a most successful social event at the chapter house on the eve of January 20. The guests upon arriving were presented with a large sum of "cash" with which they were requested to speculate in the many and various types of amusing gambling games. Those who compiled the greatest fortunes during the course of the evening were rewarded for their speculative skill with desir- able gifts. In the middle of the evening gambling was called to a halt in favor of an unusual floor show. After the laughter and enthusiasm created by the floor show had subsided, the party continued with sessions of dining, dancing, and friendly con- versation. Finally, the traditional time limitation for the guests drew nigh, and with it came the termination of a splendid social event.

During the second semester the brothers entertained their guests at the chapter's regular theater party.
The brothers have actively set forth a renovating program which will include the redecoration of the interior, painting of the exterior, and landscaping of the grounds. The lawn will be planted with new shrubbery, and facilities for friendly competi- tion in tennis will be made possible by the resurfacing of the chapter's court.
The alumni, in an effort to create new fraternal ties and renew the old, staged their annual Spring Dance for graduates and members, thus completing another successful year of frater- nalism.

Phi Sigma Pi
ETA LAWRENCE C. DAVIS, SPONSOR
To say that the Eta Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi is merely a national professional educational fraternity for men in teacher-training is a description that conveys little meaning, for to a Phi Sig his fraternity is much more than stringing a number of descriptive words and phrases together. Fellowship, "gripe" sessions, pro- fessional meetings, "jam" sessions, Interfraternity Dance, smokers, hell week, and house parties combine to give an animate description of Eta Chapter — a description that has meaning to a Phi Sig.
The local chapter of Phi Sigma Pi represents a successful evolution from a small fraternal organization named Omega Chi with its headguarters in the town Y.M.C.A. to its present status with a membership of fifty-two students.
The officers for this past year were: President, Ross Adams and James Startzell; Recording Secretary, Wade Wentzel and Harry Smith; Corresponding Secretary, James Startzell and Samuel Constantino; Treasurer, Doyle Shubert and DeVere Smith; Chaplain, Edward Everett and William Gahagen; Sergeant-at-Arms, Earl Stockdale; Historian, Donald Hess; and Interfraternity Council Representative, Stephen Gendich. And it can be said that this group did commendable work in making the year a success.
The past social season of the fraternity was interspersed with varied activities. Homecoming Day in October can rightfully be called a Phi Sig function although celebrated primarily as a college day. The fraternity members of years past were reunited. Once again Phi Sig stories of old were dramatized with humorous gestures by alumni. At the Interfraternity Dance in November, Phi Sigs again had the good fortune to renew their friendships with their graduate men.

The house took on an effulgent glitter for a house party in October. The theme of the party consisted of a burlesgue on various radio programs. Bright lights, swing music, and gay dresses blended well with the beautiful night.
With the approach of the end of the first semester social activities were placed in the background that the fraternity might indulge whole-heartedly in that school activity called, to use pedagogical slang, "cramming." With the beginning of the new semester neophyte student teachers became seriously engaged in their apprenticeships, and "seniority rights" were asserted by returning seniors inured to student teaching.
March, the month of rushing, started the Phi Sigs to think of those underclassmen who would fit into their organization. The rushing season culminated in a smoker — a tradition as old as the fraternity — at the Indiana Country Club. Faculty jokes, impromptu speeches, a "jam" session, and a floor show based on the theme "The Gay Nineties" created riotous humor. Late that month freshmen pledged to Phi Sigma Pi.
Hell week followed pledging at a hectic pace. At this time pledge masters became ingenious in imposing duties upon the trusting souls who pledged their all, only to receive a very trying initiation.
To alleviate the rigors of hell week the fraternity held a lawn party. Now the terms "insignificant pledge" and "all-powerful pledge master" were wiped out; the word "brother" took their place.

ambitious gridders, each intent upon winning a berth on the first eleven. The new aspirants were faced with the task of displacing the more experienced men who were on the highly successful 1937 team which lost but one game, that being to Lock Haven.
Coach Miller was again confronted with the difficult problem of developing gridders of the calibre of those lost by graduation. The solu- tion to this problem lay in the discovery of men with the passing ability of Nolan, the agile swiftness of Hoenstine, the leadership of Kelley, and the line-smashing of Benya. In
addition, the loss of McDowell, P. MILLER Abele, and Kuzmiak was
Coach keenly felt in the forward wall .
However, the hopes of Red and Slate vic- tories were strengthened by the return of many experienced warriors of last year's cam- paign. Among these satellites were found: Sariscak, Kelley, Balionis, and DiMauro at the terminal posts; Sutila and Zoffuto at the tackles; Caroff, Cicero, and Hovanec at the guard position; and Wisor and Rich as pivots. In the backfield there lay a wealth of promis- ing material: such outstanding ball carriers as Grundy, Killen, Nosal, Motovich, Paul, Schwing, and Krouse were available.

was switched to the fullback position.
The preliminary practice and condi- tioning sessions were climaxed by the ini- tial game of the year when the Indians met an ever-powerful Lock Haven foe. The opening contest was also the occasion for the much anticipated inauguration of In- diana's new athletic field. An unusually
large crowd of spectators saw the Indians bow to the strong Lock Haven team 10-7. The visitors proved themselves the mightier team from the outset of the game. In the first period the Haven- ites scored a touchdown which culminated a march of 60 yards. Another scoring threat in the second period fell short, and the half ended 7-0. An In- dian scoring attempt in the third period was averted when the visitors took the ball- on their own 10-yard line via downs. Early in the fourth guarter a perfectly kicked field-goal added three more points to the foe's score. Not to be outdone the Indians
began outcharging Stopped
the Havenites, and a recovered fumble by Balionis paved the way for the Red and Slate's only score of the game. A short pass from Schwing to Grundy was good for a touchdown, and another short pass to Killen accounted for the extra point. The final minutes of the game saw Indiana ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ make desperate but
futile attempts to score by means of passes.
Undaunted by the setback in the first game of the year and aided by the brilliant headwork of Bob Killen, Indiana passed and ran the ball with so much vigor that Bloomsburg never proved a threat. Grundy and Sybinsky piled gain on gain by

their ball carrying to net the Indians 13 first downs while the visitors were unable to get any. Grundy scored in each of the two quarters of the first half by shifty running behind brilliant blocking. The Huskies' lone score came just before the half on a long pass that caught the Indians off-guard. With re- newed strength the Red and Slate tallied its third touchdown in the third period when Sybinsky smashed his way across the Husky goal line. Lang then kicked his second extra point of the afternoon. The game was cli- maxed by a long pass to Killen for Indiana's fourth and last touchdown, making the final score 26-6.
The opening kickoff at Edinboro was taken by Sybinsky who carried it 25 yards and lat- eral-passed the ball to Nosal who ran it an
additional 25 yards to put the ball deep in the Red Raiders' territory. Before the Edin boro team was able to recover from this spectacular begin- ning, the Millermen had scored a touchdown. Tight- ening their defense and un- leashing real offensive power, the Red Raiders stayed in Indiana's territory most of the second and third quarters. Only two goal-line stances by Indiana's powerful line averted defeat as the Raiders were deter- mined to come from behind and win. In- diana's second and last touchdown came in the final period when Joe Sariscak, stellar end, took Sch wing's heave for 20 yards and a score. A short pass from Schwing to Krouse was good for the extra point, making the final result 13-0.

of 3500 boosters an inspired Rocket eleven took advantage of many misplays and in- juries of the Indians and handed the Red and Slate its worst defeat in many years. A fumble early in the game was costly to the Indians, for the Rockets guickly con- verted it into a touchdown. The second quarter was dominated by the brilliant foot- ball played by Kaufman and his cohorts. It was Kaufman's sensational 65-yard run that gave the Rockets their second tally of the first period. The Rockets soon after passed and charged their way across the Indians' goal to make the score 20-0. Mis- fortune stalked the Braves all afternoon, and before the half ended a bad pass from center sailed high over Nosal's head and was recovered by a Rocket player for his
team's fourth six-pointer. In spite of the lopsided score, due mainly to errors, the Indians dis- played real offensive and defensive power the remainder of the game. In a surge of strength in the third quarter Grundy took a well-placed pass by Nosal and out-raced the entire Slippery Rock secondary for 60 yards to score. Late in the last period the Rockets out-charged the battered and weakened Red and Slate line for their final tally of the game which ended 33-6. This dishearten- ing defeat, along with the injuries of Sariscak, Hovanec, Wisor, and Sybinsky, left the Red and Slate decidedly weakened for the coming battle with Mansfield.

spectators. In spite of the defeat of the previous Saturday the Indians entered the game intent upon spoiling Mansfield's un- defeated record. With perfect weather conditions and a large crowd of boosters the underdogs fought Mansfield every inch of the way, but injuries and the greater power of the invaders finally told on the Red and Slate. Several Millermen scoring drives were rebuked by the final victors, and for a while it seemed as though the visitors would have to be satisfied with a scoreless tie. The color of the game sud- denly changed in the last period when Mansfield intercepted an Indian pass and ran it deep into the Braves' territory. In- spired by this break Mansfield took ad- vantage of it and made the only score cf the afternoon. This 6-0 defeat was the first Homecoming set-back handed an Indiana team in many years.
With two weeks rest and a record of two wins against three defeats the Indiana gridders traveled to Shippensburg to meet its highly touted team. The Indians had tied the highly rated Shippensburg eleven 7-7 the previous year in a real thriller, and it was the hope of all Indian fans that the local smaller team repeat the feat again this season. Indiana started things rolling in the initial guarter when DiMauro took a short pass over the goal-line, following Zoffuto's fine block of a foe's punt. Shippensburg's team was yet to be tested, however, and victory for the

Red and Slate was still far distant. The well- coached opponents unleashed their spectacu- lar aerial attack which netted them two touch- downs before the half ended. The second half found the fighting Red and Slate team determined to come from behind and win the game. It very nearly did this when Zoffuto blocked another Shippens- burg punt to pave the way for the Millermen's second touchdown. Ted Grundy skirted its end for 16 yards and a score by his shifty running, and Balionis suc- cessfully kicked the extra point to come within one point of tying the score which now stood 14-13 in the opposition's favor. It was at this stage of the game that the powerful of- fensive strength of the foe was felt. Shippensburg

dominated the rest of the game by highly accurate passing and running attacks, and managed to score two more touchdowns in the final guarter to win 28-13. Although the reserves played well, the absence of several injured regulars was keenly felt.
The 1938 season was brought to a close with a 12-0 victory over a stubborn and determined Clarion team. The grid- iron battle was fought on a water-soaked field in freez- ing weather which hin- dered both teams consider- ably. The win over Clarion gave I.S.T.C. a final record of three wins and four de- feats for the season.

More than thirty years ago an instructor of the Massachusetts Y.M.C.A. College had a brain-child born to him and out of this supposedly insane idea came an American game on a par with the autumn attraction on the gridiron. Basketball is the one truly American game on the sports record. Today the game is of interest to thousands of people, and the Red and Slate contests rarely fail to have a capacity crowd in the I.S.T.C. gym.
Coach Miller, Indiana's varsity football and bas- ketball mentor, began preparations for his thirteenth floor campaign at Indiana with 11 veterans back from the 1938 season, some 40 other candidates, and with high hopes for a successful year.
This impressive sguad answered the call to pre- pare for an eighteen-game schedule which included some of the best teams in the state. Hampered by graduation of such varsity mainstays of previous years as Nolan, Kelley, McDowell, and Abele, the floormen responded to the urge of the leather sphere.
To augment the returning veteran performers was the appearance of several outstanding freshman basketeers who were of the calibre of varsity men.

Excellent form was displayed by the Indiana quintet in its first game of the season against St. Francis, one of the leading teams in this area. The outcome of this game was as indefinite as a steeple- chase. The Loretta quintet had a fine assortment of crisscross passes, and an all-round smooth passing combination. Trailing the Franciscans by three points, the Indians entered the second half with a fast-stepping freshman guintet eager to prove its mettle. In spite of a last minute rally the Braves were on the short end of a 43-41 score.
The first half of the St. Vincent game at Latrobe was indicative of an Indiana victory because of the splendid passing and effective shooting of each of the Indians. However, the third period saw the Saints forge ahead of the Indians, and in an attempt to avert defeat Coach Miller substituted the sensa- tional freshman five. This proved futile for the Saints were not to be denied victory and finished in a 38-25 triumph.
In a thrill-packed game with California on the local floor the Indians and the Vulcans staged a see- saw battle. Outstanding in this game were Cicero and Dossi, freshman stars, who ripped through the Vulcan defense time and again to keep the Indians in the running. With only 20 seconds to go Dossi literally stole the ball and was fouled in his basket try. With the score tied 36-36 his charity toss was the deciding point of the game which ended 37-36 to give Indiana its first conference victory. A double defeat at the hands of Indiana last year spurred the Claronites in their guest for revenge. The game was hard-fought throughout, but the Indians' opponents were finally vic- torious on their home floor. The accurate shooting of Dossi and Sutila accounted for more than half of Indiana's total score with eleven and ten points respectively. In a fourth-guarter rally the Clarion five forged ahead to win 44-38.
During semester vacation the arch rival, Lock Haven, humbled the Indians at the local gym 49-42 in a fast and exciting contest. The Red and Slate was again weak at the foul line, and in spite of determination to avenge a football scalping it finished on the short end of the final score.
Traveling to Loretta, the Braves battled St. Francis for the second time this season. The Franciscans are noted for consistent victories when at home, probably because of their unusual gym which is difficult for visiting teams to become accustomed to. The defense composed of Balionis and Sariscak, Indiana's stellar guards, kept Gjurich, St. Francis' high-scoring ace, score- less, thereby keeping Indiana very much in the ball game. This fine defensive play along with the accurate shooting of Grosklos and Sutila meant victory by the score of 30-26.
Indiana's second league defeat of the season came at the hands of Edinboro. Snappy passing and consistent teamwork by the Red Raiders outclassed the Millermen. It was only in the first quarter that Indiana looked anything like a possible contender. Ragged passing and erratic

shooting caused the Red and Slate to bow to the Raiders 52-35. Scoring honors were divided among Sutila, Cicero, and Grosklos who each had eight points.
Invading Slippery Rock territory, Indiana gave an exhibition of real skill and championship calibre in a last guarter surge for victory. With the Rockets leading 48-36 the Indians, led by Sutila and Cicero, staged a sensational scoring drive which put the Braves in the lead 52-50 with but two minutes remaining. Big Joe Sutila, Indiana's rangy center, led the attack by scoring nineteen points. With only thirty seconds to play Indiana's one point lead was shattered when Lytle of Slippery Rock netted a field goal to give the Rockets a one-point margin and a 55-54 victory.
Scoring eight points to California's three in a five-minute overtime period, Indiana defeated the Vulcans for the second time this year by a 59-54 count. The game was marked by numerous ouls because of the close play of the evenly matched guintets. Again paced by Joe Sutila, who garnered 21 points by his sensational one-hand heaves, and Cicero, who collected 17 points, the Millermen came from behind to tie the score as the final whistle was blown, necessitating the overtime play.
In a listless game on enemy territory Lock Haven found little difficulty overcoming Indiana. As in an early defeat of Indiana the Havenites overshadowed the Indiana team. The effective defense displayed by the Havenites along with the accurate shooting of the entire team left no doubt in the minds of the fans who the ultimate victor would be.
It was a completely rejuvenated Indiana five who took the floor against the Clarionites at the college gym. Maintaining a victorious stride the warriors displayed their real ability in vanguishing Clarion to avenge an early-season defeat. Continuing his sensational scoring spree, Joe Sutila again led the
182
Millermen with 23 points. The Indians never re- linquished their lead in their surprise victory over Clarion by the score of 58-32.
In a return contest with Slippery Rock on the local floor, the even play of the quintets thrilled the capacity crowd of Indiana fans. The marqin of de- feat was spelled by the accurate foul shooting of the Rockets who maintained a slight lead throughout the contest. Sutila, Cicero, and Killen showed excellent floor ability in garnering 35 of Indiana's 38 points. A last period scoring drive by the Millermen was stymied by the final whistle, giving Slippery Rock its second win over the Indians, 43-38.
Traveling east for a basketball week-end the
Indians first met Bloomsburg on the Husky floor
where they bowed to the Bloom quintet in a closely
waged battle by 50-47. The visiting team entered
the game with a revamped line-up that displayed
supreme defensive power and accurate tossing ability. The first three quarters of the game saw
the lead change hands several times. With the score tied at 47 all, the Indians' defensive faltered
and the Huskies' last-minute spurt gave them the victory.
The second game of the Eastern tour marked the Indians' third consecutive defeat at the hands of Mansfield. Al Todd, a former Pirate catcher, officiated at this turbulent game. Indiana's weakness at the foul-line again put the Braves on the trailing end of the 37-32 final tally. Despite the dual defeat Sutila added 35 points to his splendid scoring record to become the highest individual scorer in Red and Slate basketball history.
St. Vincent's appearance on the local floor marked one of the roughest basketball contests ever to be witnessed by Indiana fans. Roughness was a part of the Brave-Saints rivalry, but points rather than roughness counted as usual, and Indiana had them when the game ended. The final count, 38-32 was humiliating enough to make up for the defeat of the Indians earlier in the season.

Having the defeat of the strong St. Vincent team to its credit, the Red and Slate traveled to Edinboro to attempt to even the series for the year. The Red Raiders were always in the game and finished by taking the Indian scalp for the second time this season. The final score of this contest was 42-37.
Displaying one of the smoothest guintets seen on the local floor all year, Millersville took Indiana in its stride to continue its championship march by completely outpointing Indiana in all departments. The visitors made score after score via bulls-eye shooting from the back court. The final statistics showed the visitors having 55 markers to 32 for the Red and Slate.
The next night found the Indians facing Shippens- burg, the only team that defeated the championship Millersville guintet, in the final game of the season. Displaying the best team work of the year, the Millermen surprised both fans and opponents in
downing the highly-touted Shippensburg five by a score of 53-50. Climaxing a career of four years, Joe Sutila garnered the amazing total of 30 points in his final appearance in a Red and Slate uniform. In a last guarter spree the opponents almost overtook the Indians, but the lead was too much to overcome.
As shown by the win and loss column the Indians didn't seem to have a very impressive record; however, -they were a worthy opponent and respected ball club to say the least. The services of Grosklos and Sutila will be lost through graduation, but such stellar performers as Sariscak, Killen, Cicero, Rupp, DeMatt, Motovich, Constantino, Balionis, and McMinn will be available to carry on for next year's team. The absence of Joe Sutila from future line-ups will be keenly felt. Sutila was the unanimous choice of all coaches for a position on the All-State Teachers Basketball Quintet for the second year, and in addition attained the distinction of being the highest individual scoring star in Indiana history, having accumulated a grand total

of 248 points in 18 games, or an average of 13.7 per game. His outstanding play in the Shippens- burg was recognized by the Pittsburgh Press, which named him the best basketball player in the Tri-State Area for that particular week. Dick Grosklos, senior forward, was given hon- orable mention on the All-State Teachers Basketball Quintet.

Baseball
The umpire's bellow of "Play ball" ushered in the 1938 season of flying spikes and the appealing clack of a cleanly hit ball at Indiana. Once again the Red and Slate diamond warriors donned baseball uniforms to vie for positions on the varsity nine.
In March Coach Boyts summoned aspirants for the team which would represent baseball as a major sport for the fourth consecutive year at Indiana. Since the inauguration here of America's national game Coach Boyts' teams have achieved an enviable record by win- ning 46 games and losing but 24 for the excellent per- centage of .653.
Returning to the mound last year were Gustie Rura and Sam Hoenstine, each with two years of varsity experience. A newcomer, Ed Walls, who showed much pitching ability, and Reams received many of the hurling assignments. On the receiving end were Krouse and Schwing ably assisting McDowell, varsity catcher of the

past two years. To carry the fielding assignments Coach Boyts found that a wealth of material was available. This unusual galaxy of able hitters and fielders was composed of veterans such as Sutila, Hoenstine, Smardo, Sariscak, Grosklos, Harrick, Slick, Perschetti, and Catalano.
Daily practice sessions were held in preparation for the initial conflict of the season at Saltsburg with the Kiski nine. The Red and Slate displayed brilliant early-season form in winning the opening game by the score of 10-3. Ed Walls, freshman star, relieved Rura in the fourth inning and displayed true pitching ability when he struck out 11 men and kept the Black and White hitless and scoreless for the remainder of the contest. Indiana garnered 12 hits to lend excellent support to the moundsmen.
Completing a May Day festival the college nine pulled a game out of the proverbial bag when it defeated Lock Haven 6-5 in a thrilling ninth-inning rally. Hoenstine replaced Reams in the third inning and pitched the Indians to their first conference win of the season. Smardo broke up the game in the ninth with his second hit of the game which drove Sybinsky over the plate with the winning tally.
On May 4 the Red and Slate traveled to St. Vincent to meet its old rival once again. When the Braves came to bat in the ninth they trailed the Bearcats 11-3. At this time the Indians, spurred by several well-placed hits, staged a dynamic scoring spree. However, in spite of a brilliant rally of seven runs, the margin was too great to overcome, and the game ended 11-10 in favor of the Saints.
Duguesne, an ever formidable foe, proved too powerful for the I.S.T.C. nine and, although out-hit, defeated the Braves 9-7. Costly errors proved the Indians' downfall when seven unearned runs crossed the home plate. "Lefty" Reams pitched air-tight ball after the fourth inning, and Red McDowell led the batters with 3 hits out of 4 trips to the plate.
As a result of the clever mound work of Ed Walls the visiting Mansfield nine bowed to the Indians. Despite five errors timely hitting gave the Red and Slate victory with 13 runs while the Mansfield team scored but 7 runs on 13 hits.

At Bloomsburg Hoenstine pitched with mid-season form and set the Huskies down by a score of 6-4. Indiana once again found themselves forced to stage a ninth inning rally. Slick proved himself an able pinch-hitter by driving out a triple-sacker that resulted in a two-run lead and a 6-4 victory for the Braves.
Undefeated in teachers' college competition, Coach Boyts had high hopes of winning the State Teachers' College championship as his team traveled on to West Chester and Shippensburg on their annual Eastern trip. West Chester, however, with similar aspirations, was determined to win.
In a hotly contested game the Chesterites shattered the undefeated record of the Indians by winning 10-8. In the fifth inning Sariscak hit the longest homer on record there to tie the game 5-5, but in its half of the frame the West Chester nine scored 4 runs to put the game on ice. The final game of the eastern trip with Shippensburg was cancelled because of rainy weather.
The scheduled game with Clarion was also cancelled because of rain, and on May 17 Indiana met Kiski for the second time. Although leading 4-2 in the fifth, Walls' wildness and several errors lost the lead when Kiski scored 3 runs to take the lead 5-4. In the sixth Sutila scored to tie the game, and Indiana went on to win in the ninth when Hoenstine hit a home run with Slick on base making the score 7-5 in Indiana's favor.
In a well-played game which was halted by rain in the seventh the Red and Slate defeated Duguesne University at Bridgeville 5-2. Avenging an early season defeat, the Indians garnered 5 runs on 7 hits in helping Walls win his fourth game of the season.
In the season finale St. Vincent defeated the Braves for the second time 3-2. The Indians got away to a two-run lead in the first inning but lost when the Bearcats scored two runs in the fourth and added another in the fifth frame. Hoenstine pitched his last game for the Red and Slate, climaxing three years of varsity hurling.
Playing on the Indiana team were four outstanding athletes who have been given con- sideration by big-league scouts. Sam Hoenstine's pitching and base-running attracted the attention of a Detroit Tiger scout, and he is to receive a try-out at one of the club's farms. Joe Sariscak, brilliant short-stop, Dick Grosklos, outfielder and hitter, and Bill Balionis, third-sacker, were considered potentially good material in their try-outs with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Under the tutelage of Coach Boyts many exceptionally fine diamond stars have been developed.
The performers of the 1938 baseball team who have earned letters are: Brassfield, Balionis, Harrick, Krouse, Hoenstine, McDowell, Rura, Sutila, Sybinsky, Sariscak, Slick, Reams, Schwing, Walls, Smardo, and Grosklos.

Tennis
With but one man lost by graduation Coach Earl E. Prugh, varsity tennis mentor at I.S.T.C., began preparations for a five-match schedule with exceptionally strong teams. From the out- set of the season difficulties were encountered because of the new buildings being built on the site of all but two courts. Practice sessions were hampered by the lack of sufficient courts, and all home matches had to be played in town on the courts of the Allied Club and the Indiana Tennis Club.
Indoor practices were begun on April 5, with Killen, Rimer, Jamison, Hill, Stanley Matejczyk, Bruno, Nolan, Blair Matejczyk, and Motovich reporting for court duty. The first match was held with California which the visiting Indian team defeated 8 to 1. This match, a culmination of four weeks of intensive practice, found Killen, S. Matejczyk, B. Matejczyk, Rimer, and Bruno winning while Motovich was the only Indian to drop his match. The University of Pittsburgh netters completely outclassed Indiana to win 8 to 1; Rimer gave Indiana its only win. Traveling

to Mansfield, the Red and Slate again came out on the short end of a score of 7-2. The fourth match with Carnegie Tech on the local courts was the highlight of the tennis season. The final outcome of the battle was very much in doubt until the third set of doubles, when Carnegie triumphed 5-4. Another close match was dropped at Bloomsburg by the score of 4-3 in the season's finale. Although winning but one match out of five Indiana proved a consistent threat to its opponents; had the Red and Slate not been hampered by a shortage of practice courts the won and lost column would no doubt have been more impressive.

Women s Varsity "I
Membership in Varsity "I" Club is a privilege earned by few girls on the Indiana campus — thirteen to be exact. Invitation is extended to girls who have obtained their varsity letter by active participation in athletics.
The graduation of all the members of the 1937-1938 club forced the new members to reorganize. At one of the first meetings the group elected the following officers: President, Helen Fogle; Secretary-Treasurer, lane Ger- ber.
Each year the Women's Athletic Association carries out as a part of its program a sports day or play day. This year the Varsity "I" Club joined the Women's Athletic Association Council to make the Basketball Sports Day a success.
Thus, by its activities of the year the Varsity "I" Club fulfilled its three-fold purpose: to continue social contacts with all members; to serve where needed in assisting with the furtherance of athletic programs; and to retain ideals and enjoyment in athletic participation.

Women's Athletic Association
The Women's Athletic Association is organized for the purpose of promoting the spirit of sportsmanship and the participation in athletics among interested young women. Shouldering the difficult task of guiding the girls in a worthy use of their leisure time, the W.A.A. is moving steadily forward in its program; but it will always reguire co-operation of all if successful attain- ment of its aims is to be realized.
Many newcomers to the Indiana campus noticed the absence of an intramurals program for women and asked why one was not provided. A splendid program had been effected for the athletically inclined men, but a system of athletics for women had not been initiated. There was a need for some extra physical activity for the women coupled with clean and wholesome athletic rivalry. As a result a highly specialized intramural sports program, under the guidance of the W.A.A. council, was organized.
One may earn points on the basis of grades, by participating in intramural activities, or by holding an athletic office. The standard for winning the Varsity "I" is 1000 points.

When sixteen new bicycles arrived on campus as a gift from the Co-operative Association, Miss Bowles was suddenly busier than she had ever been before. Bicyc- ling became the sport of the hour to be indulged in between classes and during the spring afternoons.
The above nine girls comprised the first group to rent bicycles. Even the fellows, forgetting their scorn of girls' bikes, became ardent enthusiasts of the new sport. A rental fee of fifteen cents an hour or twenty-five cents for two hours was put into effect to defray expenses.
It wasn't long before six other girls persuaded Miss Bowles to become sponsor of a bicycle club. These girls and the original nine strapped flashlights on the handle bars, bought food, reserved the lodge, and rode out for supper. Here they organized the Bicycle Club.
The Bicycle Club itself soon adopted overalls as its official garb. It has taken at least one organized trip a week. The meetings are held around the fire at the conclusion of suppers, breakfasts, or picnics. While the membership was still small, co-ed rides were taken, the boys sharing the rental and the honors of cooking.
An accurate log, vividly illustrated with pictures and snaps of all trips and meetings, has been kept.

Basketball
BASKETBALL GROUP
The Girls' Intramural Basketball Tournament was the third tourney sponsored by the W.A.A. and by the Varsity "I" girls.
The method of choosing the teams ;that is, the selection of players from the groups taking basketball as a physical activity, has proved superior to the old in that it provided greater rivalry and competition. The result was that the games were far more exciting.
Basketball has always been a prominent game and a favorite one among the girls. At times the games exhibit keen rivalry among the many teams. Basketball, as one of
