Abstract
The paper shows the history and activities of the Teachers‘ School in Čakovec in the period from the school year 1950/51 to 1955/56, based on a comparison of records from the so-called Memorial of the Teacher‘s School in Čakovec (collection of handwritten and typewritten notes, as well as photographs and newspaper clippings) and articles published in the same period in the Varaždinske vijesti and Međimurje weekly newspapers. In the above mentioned period, the political indoctrination of students continued through the school program, cultural, political and sports organizations that were founded at the school and through youth labour brigades. Newspapers pay much more attention to the results of sports competitions, and describe the work of labour brigades in much more detail than before; it is also evident that journalists are more critical of the poor state of youth organizations whose work has died down in some periods, even though they were supposed to represent the basis of indoctrination in the socialist spirit. On the other hand, the records in the Memorial increasingly take the form of entries that never show the state of the school in a social and cultural context.
