a common bond to link the past and present by memories we share—a way
to keep our hopes alive and vital—an inspiration to strengthen ties of friend-

ship and spread it far abroad—these things are ours to keep and yet to give.

NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS, ALBANY, N. Y.

JEAN M. TRAC Y— Editor-in-Chief HELEN P. OMILIN—Business Manager
To the men of State

They left the peaceful river,
The cricket field, the quad,

The shaven lawns of Oxford

To seek a bloody sod

They gave their merry youth away

For country and for God—

God rest you, happy gentlemen,
Who laid your good lives down,
Who took the khaki and the gun
Instead of cap and gown.

God bring you to a fairer place

Than even Oxford town

‘To all the men of State—those now with us and those who used to be—we
dedicate this book. You were preparing for an important job—teaching
children in a democracy. Now you're working at an even more important one—
preserving that democracy for those children. We liked going with you to
classes, to the Commons, to the Boul, to parties, to formals. Just as the

sketball team kept the name of Corporal Tom Feeney, U.S. Army, on the
books as their captain, we will keep your names on our books as friends whom

we liked in college and are proud of now.

CHI SIGMA THETA Xx 5 0
For sorority girls, the most important part of college life is the sorority. Girls from the
Catholic sorority, Chi Sigma Theta, know that from 7:30 on every Monday night all con-

tentions come to the fore, parties are discussed and teas planned. The Chi Sig House is a

friendly place. Who doesn’t smile at Pat Latimer’s cheery welcome, Margh Curran’s jitter-
bugging. Jean Tracy’s singing, Nodie Davis’ house “prez-ing”? A house party after State's
formals is a familiar occurrence. All lucky males know Chi Sig’s Christmas party is one of

their best, for the newly pledged freshmen may go. Come over any time—to 678—Chi

Here we have the official executive organiza-
tion of the college. In their weekly meetings,
with President Don at the helm, they make
plans to carry out the will of the student
body. It is their duty to appoint leaders and
committees for the activities which do not
receive Student Association funds. Popular
Tom Feeney was succeeded as Senior Class
President by Millie and Shoemaker rose
from the Junior Vice-Presidency to fill the
place vacated by Rich Young. Joe Roulier’s
spot in the limelight was forfeited to Peggy
Dee when the six-footer joined the marching

columns. Leaders all...

It says here
If anyone is feeling sorry for the young
greenhorns, he can save his sympathies for a
more appropriate time. In spite of the fact
that many traditional things, such as Frosh
camp, WAA pienic and banner rivalry had
to be dispensed with, the high-spirited
Frosh, under Stan’s able leadership have
made the most of what State has had to
offer. The coveted rivalry cup proved to be
beyond their grasp. However, they did suc-
ceed in outdoing the Sophs in the pushball
game and led by the swing and sway

This department hasn't done so badly for

operetta, the Don Cossacks and Percy
Grainger were tops with all of us and the
rest of Albany, too. The first concert of the

orchestra. The biggest number on the whole

SPANISH CLUB

Every so often in assembly, Ira Friedman

usually means, “Come on, gang, there's
going to be a meeting of Spanish Club.”
Palatsky keeps the books, and we've been
waiting anxiously to hear her accent. Really,

though, Spanish Club is common ground for

the increasing number of romantic langua

fans, and we're willing to bet that cake and
ice cream taste just as good in Spanish as
they do in English.

new fields of chemical knowledge. Just think
of those post-war Nylons, kids, and get in

FRENCH CLUB

To:

Fraser, Misurelli, and Shanley—all
good Irish names, but they get along. At
their mectings. they eat ice eream and petits
gateaux and have fun. Remember the time
that Allard talked about his travels in
France? (We'd like to hear an off-the-record

account of that.) Did you see his collection

of snapshots?—simply entouré with femmes.

But the explanations are in another depart-

ment. Were you there when Monsieur

Mosher stumped his audience? (Say “cab-

bage” in six different dialects.) Or the day
they played records of Massenet, Ravel, and

Debussy. And Nelson Eddy singing “Chan-

son du Toréador.” The members of French

Club aiment les games et les chansons trés

much. It’s fun to see staid seniors romping
in “le Prince de Paris a perdu son chapeau”
or “Sur le pont d’Avignon.” They like to
quiz themselves, too, and spell each other

down. The freshmen sit’ wide-eyed and

mouthed saying only “oui” and “non,” but

they come again. The lounge echoes with
their songs. “Madam la Marquise” is a

favorite. Others include “Auprés de ma

blonde,” “Alouette,” “Frére Jacques,

était un_ ber; and “Au Clair de la

Lune.” Mm, good taste, huh?

We hear a lot these days about democ

acy
and how it works. Well. Sayles Hall has been
well-known for its outstandingly successful
House Association. Things have been ac-
complished there without the fuss and furor
of inter-class or fraternity rivalry. Sayles
Hall has contributed in a large measure to

the activities of the college. Just think back

on the many well-organized vie parties, the
picnics, the mid-year house parties. All these
indicate cooperation between the fellows
living there, the Bulgers, and Mr. Hall. It
means fun, too. Ask any of the dorm men,
and you'll get the same answer. Next year,

Sayles Hall will become the home of State

College girls; but the fellows want you to

know that this is strietly duration stuff.

Meanwhile, the former S.L.S. house will be-
come the Sayles Hall annex, so that the

spirit and traditions already so much a part

of State will be kept alive for future refer-
ence. It isn’t hard to have faith in the future
when you hear these men air their plans. And
just by way of keeping service men in touch
with all the latest news, Sayles Hall writes
group letters. For these and other gestures,
we say, “Hello, you guys, we're waiting for

you.”

There’ than an chance that

more even
you've heard about Newman Hall, passed it
on a leisurely stroll down Madison Avenue,

aybe you've even lived there. Well, let’s
say you're a stranger in town. So, all aboard
now for a tour around Newman. The first

thing you'd notice is the graciousness of the

living rooms—spacious, and a reminder of
luxury ala old Albany. There’s that definite-
ly collegiate note in that little table to the
right—familiarly known as the signing-out

spot

NEWMAN
HALL

Lazy hours

Now let’s take a look to the left. That's the

chapel. Father Cahill celebrates the Mass

there. It’s a haven for more than the New-

man gi

Is. And speaking of Father Cahill, he’s

the one who conducts discussions on re-

ligion, marr

the kids ask

ge, and almost anything that
for. These discussions aren't
soon forgotten, and if we travel right on

down to the dining room, we'll bet you'll

hear a continuation of one of them. There,
that’s the dining room there—with all the

little tables.

Now, we can take a short glance around the
girls’ rooms. Sure, they're cute and homey

each one with just a few different touches.
It’s easy to see there’s plenty of personality
here. Well, it is rather empty here now,
That’s because all the kids are downstairs
decorating for the party tonight. The Ree
is quite the plac
RP;

for parties. Siena and

seem to be very fond of it. Course the
State fellows like it, too. They're used to

seeing it as it usually is—not so many frills,

maybe, but a good place for a date. Ping-

pong, darts, and a vie. That means an

evening of fun.

Sweet Shop?

Now that you've seen all the fun the kids

have together, is it any wonder they've
ation for everyone

formed an Alumni assoc

who used to live there? Millie Swain is pre:

dent of that, so it should be plenty active.

Big week-end, banquet, and all the trim-

mings. Back in the swing of things—greeting
all the old friends, remembering how it was
to sleep out on the porch on hot nights,
hearing Toni play the piano, That's the kind

of thing that br

igs back the good old daze.

Well, guess that’s all there’s time for now.

Have to dash back to class, but don’t forget

to come again, will you?

MORELAND

Till the boys come home!

Cooperation is not a sentiment

The big house with the stone jugs. 35 women,

8-9057. Freshmen, answer the phone! More-

on campus that sponsors food raids at any
hour of the day or night. Sunbathing on the
roof, courtesy of the bathroom window.

FENNY COO

shady lawns

This is the house of the big

+45 for an 8 o'clock

where you get up at
class. The frosh are welcomed genially in
September with water fights. They usually
live in the green room on third, but they
might draw the “ice box.” In secret, the
frosh start fires in the pseudo-fireplaces with
dire results. They listen in on bull sessions,
dance the Virginia reel, and tan a luscious
brown on the balcony. Fenny Coo has be-

come a way of life. Cooperation is more than

a word here. Everybody dug in during the

May housecleaning. Concerts are given dur-

ing dishes, and the houseboy is mentioned in
song when there is no hot water. “Black
marks” are avoided: they mean scrubbing
jobs. Noodles are avoided too, especially
baked.

When will somebody invent some-

thing that looks like a noodle but isn’t?

Speakir

of food, who did put the “kix™ in

the apple pie that time? Well, any way. Coo’s

girls have been married —all before the house
is 4 years old. May this record be maintained

at some future date if all the men aren’t in

the army of occupation!

Is everybody happy
Home of State's Cinderellas

Oh, that beautiful house! Have you ever

FARRELL HOUSE fee tineaeaneen vee Naver wea are can

of those lucky frosh who live at Farrell
House. Paris-made wallpaper in the dining
Woiting for PAnca Charming room costing over $1000. Curtains at $500 a
pair. The latter are heavily insured and
stored away. The wallpaper couldn't be
stored very handily, so the Farrell House

there are scads of fireplaces and window
seats, a huge backyard (I'm glad I don’t

have to cut that grass) and a private

house. Those lucky kids are getting spoiled.
though, I'm afraid. Who'd be content with
the ordinary teacher's boarding house after

WREN HALL

Hi, kids! Sure, this is Wren Hall, the place
where a bunch of smoothies hang their hats
during the school year. You should try
dropping around sometime. When they start
playing hide and seek around the place with
you, you'll know you're there. Intuition is
what it takes to find your way around the
big double house the first time—unless you
carry a ball of yarn with you. It’s the house
that’s had a frosh house-president this year,
and from all we hear. she’s pretty good at it,
too. [tll be a second term for her next year.
Things usually happen pretty fast when the
gang gets together. That’s what we like

good sense of humor and plenty of it,

Happy birthday!
Oh please! !
