The editing of next year's Praeco
will be under t h e guidance of Don
Rathgeber, a Junior in secondary
education, who formerly held t h e
position of sports editor. He has
been a stajf member ever since his
Sophomore year.
This year t h e PRAF3CO has been
under the able leadership of T h o m a s E. Bittner, who informed the
TIMES t h a t the college yearbook
would probably be in the hands of
the student body before May' 22.
To all those who would be interested in working on the PRAECO,
it is asked t h a t they please sign
their names on a slip of paper and
hand it to Mr. Rathgeber.
The advance reports seem to bear
out the prediction of this year's
staff t h a t the 1940-41 PRAECO
will be even better t h a n last year's.
The entire staff and their faculty
adviser. Dr. Bottorf, deserve a vote
of t h a n k s for their splendid work.

GOODBYE
In a short time we shall all be saying the usual goodbyes,
wishing the usual good luck, and signing new Praecos, trying in one sentence to sum up an entire year. Not a person on
Campus will have a harder .job than your editor, as both a
personal friend' of practically every student, and as the voice
of student opinion.
If each of you does nothing else, he should take a bird's
eye view of the school term of 1940-41. How have I improved ? Have I added to my intellectual stature ? Have I added
to the utmost of my ability? If not, where have I failed?
Then, most important of all, how can I make up for lost
ground ?
Do not forget, however, that there is more to school
than the intellectual side. I sincerely doubt if the greater
part of the school has neglected the social aspect, but there
are those who have not obtained the fullest social benefits of
our college, and there are those who have not handled their
social life in a manner befitting college students. A versatile
social background acquired in college can be of the greatest
service not only to teachers but to all others who go out into
the world, as they must, and mingle with their fellow men.
Such a background may well give the possessor the ultimate
in life. It may be the vehicle that will carry one's ideas and
contributions throughout our globe and serve as the excuse
for that person's being. Do not forget, my friends, the saying compounded by the ancient philosophers when asked by
their monarch for a statement that would endure for all time
—"This too shall pass away—we pass this way but once."
Yet if I leave no other thought with you, I do want to
impress upon you as both a personal and editorial message a
plea to continue to have hope and faith. We have passed
through one of tha finest seasons of the year, spring. It
should leave with each of you the thought that all is not lost.
That somehow the seasons will continue to follow each other.
That the sun will always rise on a new day giving continued
promise of a better future to come.
SENIORS
In a short time our College will be mourning the loss of
one of the finest groups of Seniors ever to receive their diplomas. They will be going out into the world to start what
Ave all hope will be very successful careers. At the same
time they are going out into a world that will demand a great
deal of them—that IS demanding a great de^l of them. jTliey
are going out to become positive additions to one of the finest
of professions. Plato compares teaching to the uipright apex
of a pyramid. Yet it also seems logical to place them at the
base of the pyramid. Is not education, and consequently
teaching, the foundation of human progress and civilization .'
I t would be impossible to picture a civilization without education Do not believe, however, that there is little left to
be done When men slaughter each other, when men devastate fields and homes, as is the case in Europe, then remember that civilization has not advanced too far above the
nrimitive level. Wars are simply devices for turning the
clock of (progress back to the days when self-preservation was
S S more dominant. Wars only prove that education is
S
a veneer with the great mass of humamty. It is up to
vou Seniors, future leaders of education, to carry it beyond
edu^Uon for the few. You must once, and for all time ent h r S e reason as our criterion and drive primitive methods
and motions into oblivion.

FIRST FRAGMENTS
By CHARLES A. NORLUND
F r o m t h e point of editing poetrj-,
this has been a pretty good year.
T o u r editor didn't have to go abegglng quite so much fir contributions. Since t h e advent of Mr.
Hills, the writing of poetry, among
other types of composition, has
gained a new momentum. (I know
of one individual w^ho has a t least
seven articles "In the mail.")
So
prospects for this nook of t h e paper
look r a t h e r good for next year. E\eryone with whom I've talked hope
t h a t Mr. Hills will be with us-ne.\t
year. I hope so, too.
A word to the observant: this
summer you will undergo m a n y experiences, some pleasant,
some
otherwise. Why not t r y to put them
on paper? Who knows but t h a t you
will have plenty of material for
composition next t e r m ?
Thia issue we publish a few pieces by Helen Stine, a raduating senior. I like both of the poems presented here. That they read well is
perhaps their best quality. T h e following piece is very musical, and
there are many delightful combinations of sounds. I particularly like
the line which repeats the title.
And all along your broad highway.
You see the things I wajnt to see.

For Next Year
The editing of next year's Praeco
will be under t h e guidance of Don
Rathgeber, a Junior in secondary
education, who formerly held t h e
position of sports editor. He has
been a stajf member ever since his
Sophomore year.
This year t h e PRAF3CO has been
under the able leadership of T h o m a s E. Bittner, who informed the
TIMES t h a t the college yearbook
would probably be in the hands of
the student body before May' 22.
To all those who would be interested in working on the PRAECO,
it is asked t h a t they please sign
their names on a slip of paper and
hand it to Mr. Rathgeber.
The advance reports seem to bear
out the prediction of this year's
staff t h a t the 1940-41 PRAECO
will be even better t h a n last year's.
The entire staff and their faculty
adviser. Dr. Bottorf, deserve a vote
of t h a n k s for their splendid work.

GOODBYE
In a short time we shall all be saying the usual goodbyes,
wishing the usual good luck, and signing new Praecos, trying in one sentence to sum up an entire year. Not a person on
Campus will have a harder .job than your editor, as both a
personal friend' of practically every student, and as the voice
of student opinion.
If each of you does nothing else, he should take a bird's
eye view of the school term of 1940-41. How have I improved ? Have I added to my intellectual stature ? Have I added
to the utmost of my ability? If not, where have I failed?
Then, most important of all, how can I make up for lost
ground ?
Do not forget, however, that there is more to school
than the intellectual side. I sincerely doubt if the greater
part of the school has neglected the social aspect, but there
are those who have not obtained the fullest social benefits of
our college, and there are those who have not handled their
social life in a manner befitting college students. A versatile
social background acquired in college can be of the greatest
service not only to teachers but to all others who go out into
the world, as they must, and mingle with their fellow men.
Such a background may well give the possessor the ultimate
in life. It may be the vehicle that will carry one's ideas and
contributions throughout our globe and serve as the excuse
for that person's being. Do not forget, my friends, the saying compounded by the ancient philosophers when asked by
their monarch for a statement that would endure for all time
—"This too shall pass away—we pass this way but once."
Yet if I leave no other thought with you, I do want to
impress upon you as both a personal and editorial message a
plea to continue to have hope and faith. We have passed
through one of tha finest seasons of the year, spring. It
should leave with each of you the thought that all is not lost.
That somehow the seasons will continue to follow each other.
That the sun will always rise on a new day giving continued
promise of a better future to come.
SENIORS
In a short time our College will be mourning the loss of
one of the finest groups of Seniors ever to receive their diplomas. They will be going out into the world to start what
Ave all hope will be very successful careers. At the same
time they are going out into a world that will demand a great
deal of them—that IS demanding a great de^l of them. jTliey
are going out to become positive additions to one of the finest
of professions. Plato compares teaching to the uipright apex
of a pyramid. Yet it also seems logical to place them at the
base of the pyramid. Is not education, and consequently
teaching, the foundation of human progress and civilization .'
I t would be impossible to picture a civilization without education Do not believe, however, that there is little left to
be done When men slaughter each other, when men devastate fields and homes, as is the case in Europe, then remember that civilization has not advanced too far above the
nrimitive level. Wars are simply devices for turning the
clock of (progress back to the days when self-preservation was
S S more dominant. Wars only prove that education is
S
a veneer with the great mass of humamty. It is up to
vou Seniors, future leaders of education, to carry it beyond
edu^Uon for the few. You must once, and for all time ent h r S e reason as our criterion and drive primitive methods
and motions into oblivion.

FIRST FRAGMENTS
By CHARLES A. NORLUND
F r o m t h e point of editing poetrj-,
this has been a pretty good year.
T o u r editor didn't have to go abegglng quite so much fir contributions. Since t h e advent of Mr.
Hills, the writing of poetry, among
other types of composition, has
gained a new momentum. (I know
of one individual w^ho has a t least
seven articles "In the mail.")
So
prospects for this nook of t h e paper
look r a t h e r good for next year. E\eryone with whom I've talked hope
t h a t Mr. Hills will be with us-ne.\t
year. I hope so, too.
A word to the observant: this
summer you will undergo m a n y experiences, some pleasant,
some
otherwise. Why not t r y to put them
on paper? Who knows but t h a t you
will have plenty of material for
composition next t e r m ?
Thia issue we publish a few pieces by Helen Stine, a raduating senior. I like both of the poems presented here. That they read well is
perhaps their best quality. T h e following piece is very musical, and
there are many delightful combinations of sounds. I particularly like
the line which repeats the title.
And all along your broad highway.
You see the things I wajnt to see.
