The Overstreets Present Program To Towson Students The State Teachers College at Towson and the Te-Pa-Chi Club of Lida Lee Tall School presented, ""The Overstreets,"" on Wednesday evening, November 14th. The program was given in the college auditorium. Their subject was: ""What Can We Expect of Educa-tion ?"" As popular authors and educators they were well quali-fied to talk on this theme. Harry A. Overstreet, until his retirement in 1939, was Head of the Department of Philosophy and Psychology in the College of the City of New York. Probably the best known of his many books is ""The Mature Mind,"" which was a Book-of-the-Month selection. Fol-lowing that book came ""The Great Enterprise"" which in turn became a best seller for many months. Bonaro W. Overstreet is both poet and psychologist. At her first teaching experience she be-came keenly interested in the per-sonalities of her students and laid the foundations for her later re-searches in psychology. Out of these researches have come many books, among them ""How To Think About Ourselves,"" ""Under-stnading Fear,"" and in collabora-tion with her husband ""The Mind Alive."" ""Understanding Fear"" was chosen as a selection by the Pas-toral Psychology Book Club. During the past ten years, much of the Overstreet's platform speaking has been done jointly as a husband and wife team. The two of them conduct what has come to be known as the ""Overstreet Col-loquy,"" a kind of platform conser-vation where, with spontaneous, back-and-forth, they both together develop their central theme. Both Mr. and Mrs. Overstreet have come to prefer the colloquy to separate lecturing. Thanksgiving Dinner; Baltimore Symphony Well Attended The annual Thanksgiving Din-ner was held on Nov. 20, 1956, at 6:00 in the cafeteria. This was the first resident dinner of the school year. The dress was in-formal, girls wearing dressy dresses and boys wearing business suits. The Student Christian Choir sang the prayer before the din-ner began. Seated at the head table were Dr. and Mrs. Hawkins, Dean Mur-phy, Miss Earthal Anderson, Miss Newland, Miss Bassler, Mrs. Wagemann, Mr. Keyton, Dr. and Mrs. Beislag, and officers of the Men's and Women's Resident Coun-cils. Nadine Brooks was in charge of the whole affair. Pat Filsinger designed the modernistic place cards and volunteer helpers com-pleted the task of making a card for each person attending the din-ner. Following the Thanksgiving din-ner a majority of the students at-tended the annual concert pre-sented by the Baltimore Sym-phony Orchestra which was held in the auditorium in the Admin-istration Building. Student One Act Play To Be Presented Soon On November 29th and 30th the Glen Players will present an eve-ning of student-directed one-act plays.
