Sophomore�A Prize Winner High Schools Visit Campus Towson has recently played host to innumerable seniors and coun-selors from high schools throughout the state of Maryland. Visiting days included October 23, 24, 27, and 29. Some 200 wide-eyed guests per day enjoyed a birdseye-view of Towson in action. The program of the day consisted of registration which was followed by a visit to classes and a tour of the campus. These were led by members of the education blocks and the SNEA members. The sen-iors were then officially greeted at a special assembly which preceded lunch. These visitors were guests of the college for lunch. Finally, small groups formed to discuss various phases of college life. Such topics as college curriculum, size of classes, student teaching, extra curricular activities, the advisory system, and campus living were mentioned. In accordance with the high school seniors visiting Towson, the school has also planned for the parents of such students to be the guests of S.T.C. on Sunday afternoon, No-vember 16 from 2:00 to 4:00 P.M Along with the 300 parents of high school seniors, parents of high school juniors will also be welcome The agenda for the day will con-sist of a tour of the campus with student guides, an informal tea, and a period in which the parents may ask questions concerning the col-lege. It is hoped that this will aid the parents in assisting the students to make their final college plans. SCA Sings Soon The Student Christian Association Choir will open this year's schedule on November 23, 1958, at the Ascen-sion Lutheran Church on York Road. The choir will sing at the 9:30 A.M. and the 11:00 A.M. ser-vices. On November 25 the choir will sing at the annual Thanksgiving dinner on the campus. During this dinner, the choir will sing twice. STC Goes Nationwide Recently newspapers all over Baltimore, the United States, and possibly even abroad have carried much publicity about State Teachers College. Unfortunately this pub-licity, concerning the posture cor-rection program here at S.T.C., has all been bad. This controversy ap-parently arose from a misunder-standing of the procedure. The silhouettes are taken on sensi-tized paper and and, are in black and white. These silhouettes are taken and developed by Miss Daniels and are then kept in a locked file in her office. No on( except Dr. Bize, head of the Wom-en's Physical Education Depart-ment, Miss Daniels and the student to whom the silhouette belongs sees the silhouettes. After a study of these silhouettes certain corrective exercises are prescribed for the stu-dent in order to improve her pos-ture. The silhouettes are taken purely for the student's benefit. State Teachers College is; not the only college which carries on this practice. In our immediate neighborhood, Goucher College car-ries on this program as do a lot of others. This program has been in practice for over thirty years here at S.T.C. Bob Mayr Elected In a recent class-wide election, the Class of 1959 elected Bob Mayr to the vice-presidency. Bob was opposed by Jim Sarnecki and Bev Fedock, and the number of those who voted was fairly high, consider-ing the fact that a large majority of the class members are student teaching. The reason for the new election came from the fact that Tom Elam had to resign the office due to illness. Bob comes to Towson from Mount Saint Joe, and he has been active in class activities since his freshman year. He is currently president of the Jazz Club. Festival of Music The Festival of Music,"" Home-coming 1958 was a success from the beginning. The big week end started officially with a pep rally on Friday night. Activity started long before this, however. Members of the vari-ous classes had started to assemble their floats earlier in the week and plans for the floats had been started as much as a month ahead of time The pep rally started in the Stu-dent Center, wound in a snake line through Towson, and ended up on the soccer field around a huge bon-fire. This activity was followed by a jam session, featuring the Ray Scott Combo. While many of the students at-tended these Friday night events, others remained hard at work on their floats and many seniors spent the evening decorating the gym for the big dance on Saturday night. Fortunately for everyone, Satur-day morning and most of Saturday afternoon were sunny and moder-ately warm. Activity, which had lasted late into Friday night, began again early in the morning. The final touches were put on class and organization floats and other organi-zations were busy setting up stands and decorating cars. At approximately 11:30 A.M. everyone was distracted by a large blaze that came from the direction of the Health Center. The fire was in the old barn on the property ad-joining that of S.T.C. At 1:30 P.M. all of the floats and Senate Decides Cheerleaders Class of 1959 . Class of 1960 Class of 1961 Class of 1962 Glen Players S.N.E.A. Men's Chorus Men's A. A. Inter-Faith Council I.R.C.

The parade circled the field once and broke up at the north end. The Sophomore float, ""The USS. Sopho-more,"" winner of first prize for the class floats, was a large old-fash-ioned paddlewheel boat done com-pletely in white and blue. The Freshman float, winner of an honor-able mention, was done in a ""South Pacific"" theme. The members of the class on the float and those follow-ing sang some of the songs from the show. The Juniors float, ""Rain-bow of Melody,"" contained a rain-bow of beauties and was followed by a string of sports cars carrying the class officers. ""Tiger Rag,"" the Senior's float was a reproduction of the speakeasy so prevalent in the ""Roaring 20's."" The winning or-ganization was the Veteran's Or-ganization. Their float, entitled ""Beethoven's Fifth,"" contained a piano with a very lovely pianist and a bottle with a rather inebriated gentleman sticking his head out of the top. Following the parade and the an-nouncements of the winning floats, Queen Sali Cohan was crowned by Mr. Samuel Sharrow, President of the Alumni Association. Queen Sali and her court, Marge Moodie, Carol Beachley, Carolyn Coakley, Diane Edgell, Mary Wimmer, and Sue Chiles, reigned supreme at the soccer game. The only thing that marred this Homecoming 1958 was the fact that the Towson Tigers lost to Salisbury State Teachers by a score of 3 to 2. During, and after the game, the different organizations sold such things as chrysanthemums, coffee and baked goods, hotdogs, french fries, pizza, cocoa and marshmal-lows, and hula hoops. At the coffee hour, which followed dinner, the Glee Club sang several selections and S.T.C.'s Lighthouse Five enter-tained all. The big event of the day, the Homecoming Dance � theme ""Car-ousel"" �began at 9:00 P.M. The crowd at this dance was the largest crowd ever to attend a dance on the Towson campus, and it certainly was well worth attending. The Bob Craig orchestra did a fine job, alter-nating slow numbers with rock and roll and Latin American rhythms. Queen Sali and her court were honored during intermission. The gym floor looked like a giant merry-go- round complete with carousel horses. ""The Festival of Music"" proved to be one of the most successful Home-comings in Towson's history. Chorus To Get Rickets The Men's Chorus intends to use their appropriation from the Student Government Association to purchase jackets for use at their perfor-mances. "
