EL ri! 3 li-QP: f 0 DOCTOR DAWSEY COPE MURPHY Six lb' Preface We, the editors and managers of the SAXIGENA, Vol. III, have Worked hard on this annual of ours. There are tea1's in the ink with which we Write these words, as we look upon the results and labors of our hands. VVe began the task with high hopes of mak- ing the SAXIGENA VOI.. III, the best book ever issuedg we finish it conscious of our failure in many respects. We believe it futile to make apologies for its contents. Any part that may require such we trust will be regarded with magnanimity by our readers. In the production of this book we spared no pains to main- tain the standard set by the editors in past years. It is hoped that this bunch of miscellaneous matter will serve its full purpose. VVithout the help of many liberal advertisers the financial part of the work would have failed. May all who read this book give our advertisers due patronage. If the book proves a success, the credit is due to the class as a Whole and not to a few individuals, even though there was an editorial staff. As a pictorial book of remembrance, as a record of the significant events of the years we have spent at Old S. R. we present this book, and make our best bow.

The grounds were without grass, trees, or walks and presented a desolate ap- pearance as compared with their present condition. A wooden building on the site of the present Chapel con- tained, on the second floor, the chapel room, and on the first floor, the Principal's office and seven recitation rooms. The Model School was, in these early days, held in a building on New Castle Street. At the beginning of the Spring Term of' 1893 the present Main Building was first used for classes, and the first floor of the Chapel was taken for the use of the Model School. On the morning ol' May 13, 1895, the boys' dormitory, a frame building which stood on the same site as the present structure, caught fire and was entirely destroyed. The people of the town opened their houses and rooms were found for all. On the twenty-sixth day of June, 1896, the Chapel was destroyed by fire and on that year and the next, Commencement exercises were held in the grove below the School. During the rebuilding of the Chapel the morning exercises of the School were held in the room now used f'or'the library. A During these troublous times, in spite of the many obstacles, the school underwent a steady growth in numbers as well as in influence, owing largely to the loyalty of the student body to the best interests of the institution. The State was not then so liberal in its encouragement of those who attended the Normal schools, as the State Aid granted the student was only fifty cents per week and the student was required to pay a tuition fee of' one dollar per week. However, those who completed the course were given fifty dollars each on graduation. About twelve years ago this allowance on graduation was cut OH and, in fact, for one year no aid was given Th ft l by the State, the students being required to pay their own tuition. In consideration of the adoption of a course of study covering th1'ee years of work, which was put into full effect in 1903, the State agreed to pay the entire tuition of all who expressed their intention of becoming teachers. The purpose of the writer in presenting this brief sketch of' the early history of the school is that those who know it only in its present condition may appreciate, in some measure at least, thc difliculties through which the institution has passed in order to reach its present state oi' prosperity.

Marshal I tu History of the Class of l9l 2 The time is fast approaching when the class of 1912 will be but a memorvg a memory which we shall never forget and one which we will always think of with pride. It has often been said that 'history repeats itself, but we doubt if any other class will leave the record that we are leaving. VVhen, on the morning of September 5, 1909, the Juniors assembled in the Chapel, if the word green', can be justly applied to Junior classes, we must have been one of the greenest that ever entered the Normal School. However, we are justly proud of this factg for it only shows our ability to improve. Those were happy days. Every one of them was filled with new experiences, and each small event held a wealth of pleas- ure for us. We were many in number but one when there was any question as to class action. Together we Stood along the sidelines while our football team won glory for us, and together we cheered our basket ball and baseball teams on to victory. Then, in the fall of 1910, we took upon ourselves the responsibilities of the Middle Year. Mingled with the work of hard schedules were the various pleasures, like milestones, marking the way. VVe remember with pleasu1'e our jolly Hallowelen party and Thanksgiving feast. Then, in February came the Middle-Senior banquet which will be long remembered by the members of both classes. The next' event of importance, which was near the close of the school year, was the play A Dollls Housev given by the Bryant Literary Society. The remainder of the school year was spent in hard study and much reviewing in preparation for that dreaded day when State Board would be with us. Our labors were not in vain and happy were we, when, near the sol- emn midnight hour, it was announced that the class of 1912 would not need to mourn the loss of any of its members. U Now we are Seniors. VV e have enjoyed the reception to which only those who bare the title, Senior, were admitted, the banquet at which we were the guests of the Middlersg but most of our activities have been con- fined to the imbibing of knowledge. And now as we look forward, since there are but a few weeks till the time when our days as students of Slippery Rock, will end, a feeling of sadness fills our hearts. Just one more sten and we shall start out into the great field of life, where each must struggle for himself with the problems of his chosen line of work. As we lay down our tasks within the halls of Slippery Rock to grapple with those of a larger and sterner world, it is our hope that each one of us may do his best that hc may be worthy of membership in thc class of 1912.

Basket-ball Q1, 2, Base-ball fl, 2, 35. Foot- ball Pres. Students, League Pres. Bryant Society 135. Vice Pres. Class Q3l. The first time Harb saw the sun rise was over the hills from Bakerstown. Hearing of S. lt., he came up in the fall of 1909 and has stayed with ns ever since. His good nature and friendly disposition has won for him a host of friends among the students and townspeople. Although hc has been one of our main men in all athletics he does not let this interfere with his school and society work. His favorite subjects for conversation are: Girls and horses. If you wish to find Harbison on Monday afternoons, just look on the Gym porch. We wish him a successful life through college and also in after years with 1? We all know who. 2. Elizabeth Reed, Mt. Olive Sta., Pittsburgh, Pa. Philomathean. Betty is smart, but that doesnlt spoil her for having a good time and for making others have a good time. She is sometimes seized with a violent desire to sing. And sing she docs, until every one has fled and she gets tired listening to herself. Betty wears Black on every provocation and when- ever eats are mentioned, she demands Cookies Betty always wants to do something for some one-especially to keep some one from getting a call, 3. Agnes Garvey, Slippery Rock, Pa. Bryant. Agnes came to us in her junior yea r. Being very studious she won the good will of all her teachers. She is one of the jolliest girls in the class of 1912, and is very popular with the young gentlemen ol' her class. She shines especially in the meetings of the class. '4Agnes' favorite pastime is preparing and giving dialogues in Society. et. Marie Anna Newlnarker, Allegheny, Pa. Plnlomathean. Marie has been o11e ol' our loyal classmates since its origin. She has been loyal in every way except in one thing: She refuses to choose an escort from any class but that of 1911. We are sure she will find the right calling some day. Her aims have changed three times since she came to us. First it was that of a pedagogue, then a minister-'s wife, and now the wife of a Doctor. 5. Elizabeth Amsel VVeinstein, Duquesne, Pa. Philomathean. If the difficult and many studies of our senior year ever worried 'tBeth, few of her classmates ever knew it. She seems cold to strangers, but she is really one of the jolliest girls belonging to the happy Duquesne Bunch. Beth was a student who took things as they came ttlld was never known to worry or scold over anything. 'Fo know her is to love her. Her only fault being, to like to sleep. 6. Blaude Fiscus, Leechburg, Pa. Philomathean. The most cheerful girl who ever survived four years olf High School. Maude eame to us from lieeehburg to be one ol' the most popular girls ol' the school. She was organist in the Methodist church here and so, by her willingness to work and her pleasant companionship, won the love of the townspeople as well as the students. Maude was in for all the .fun-as for example dancing in Philo Hall. No one was ever hea.rd to knock her, not -even the professionals. She really needed a secretary, as there were so many long letters, banners and such coming and going, and the wonder of it is they were all from one we know as E. D. llowever, we are glad she was here, even il' her heart was with him at O. N. ll., for we shall not soon find her equal. Twenty-flee A J L gh. 5' - ffm. Y 'fl-li' if y,,4:f:, by., ' .5,:.

Per- 'feet-mannered, always quiet, ealm, and sedate, Anna. is yet fond ol' a good time. She was a good student and had a pretty voiee. Altho' with us but little over a year, Anna was honored by bei11g ehosen on the staff of the SAXIGIGNA and as treasurer of the elass. Her affection was mueh divided but from the numerous letters, valentines, candy and flowers which the mail boy brought her we realize that she has seen and eonquered before sbe ever reaehed S. lt- and we do not blame them, for she was always a sweet, sympathetie friend. 2. Eva C. Clayson, Monongeliela, Pa. Philomathean. Eva eame to us in the Fall ol' 1911 from l11diana State Normal, thinking tha.t she would like old Slippery ltoek better, and she has not been disappointed. 'Eva is a good student and is always ready to help out in class meetings or society. She is invaluable to us beeause she brings in the Paris styles from the outside world. 3. lllary E. Shanks, ljl'l1l',Sl1lll'gl1, Pa. When any one ol' us found ourselves in trouble And in need of a helping hand, There was one always rea.dy to give it- Mary Shanks, the pride ol? our land. 4. Sarah V. McChesney, Pittsburgh, Pa. Philomathean. A eharming Maiden, dainty and neat, ls our dear little Sarah, whose ways are so sweet, She will still be remembered when we have grown old, When the joys of our sehool days are being retold. 0. Blanche MacMillan, Buena Vista, Pa. Philomathean. Dainty and neat is our dear little lassie from Buena Vista. A favorite with all her teachers on aeeount of her willing- ness to work and try. Bright in her studies and jolly in play, We have all liked her from her very first day. 6. Anna Mary Pierce, VVest Newton, Pa. Pliilomatliean. Anna. Mary, a bright and happy little girl, eame into our midst in the spring ol' 1911. From this time on she was one of our prominent girls who was always very fond of athletics. She distinguished hersell' as one ol' the l'orwards on the senior basketball team. Anna. Mary was very biglitand always had a smile For her fellow assoeiates. She took the optimistie view ol' life whieh made for her many friends. During her senior year she was aeeompa.nied to Normal by her little brother. lt was not an unusual oeeurrenee to hear Anna Mary say, 1 wonder where John is. 1 Twenty -seven , X .V 3 1 4 FJ,-1mvg'.,,:Mxaw5fvrfs-wgg -fxifx ..f'- 'T' ' , .S ,N - 'Ye' - - , , ,.,.,....,.,, - . ,. ., .

Bryant Society lf you can't recite, get up and show the Prof that it is not lack ot willingness, is the firm belief of this good- natured son of Slippery Rock soil. After passing thru' the interior convolutions of S. li. Model and High Schools, Fin joined our class in the fall. of '09, Ile is not a ba.d sort of fellow if you consider him clear entirely all together. Fin's besetting weakness is his i?ondness for the fairer sex, but we hope that with the advance of years he will conquer this and lead a successful life. 2. Bess Pollock, New Brighton, Pa. Philomathean. One can hardly recognize in Bess to-day, the little home- sick, weeping girl who used to implore permission to go home. This year she makes flying trips between the terms. There is a great, big Reason at Slippery Rock. She is one girl who can excel in sleepiness, study, and hungriness and still keep four fellows guessing.- All this year Bess has had chappeil hands. Her favorite studies are Frnech, Restaurantry, Sleigh- rides, and Icy Sidewalks. At an early date she expects to publish her diary, Vol. 14. This will doubtless place her name in the American Hall ol? Fame. 3. lilarie liforgan, Pittsburgli, Pa. Philomathean. Marie was not only a star in lilathematics, but also made the third floor famous by her speeches as an advocate of G-irls' Rights. She was constantly working for the good of her own sex. We owe a great deal to Marie. 4. Sherril Maxwell, Slippery Rock, Pa. Practice, practice all the day, ls what we hear dignified Sherril say. In music she's the very best, , Just ask H. C. the rest. u A Shay7, is very much afraid her music might become eom- mon. Anyone that knows her can vouch for that. Just ask some of the girls who were with her at the ltliddle-Senior Banquet. 5. Olive Anderson, Elderton, Pa. I Olive is a tall, dark-haired, quiet girl, with whom it is very hard to get acquainted, but o11ce you know her, you find she is very charming. She joined our ranks in 1911 and comes to us from Elderton. She is v-ery good in her class work and helps us very much in our class meetings by her cheer- ful, presence. 6. Grace Kerr, Sharon, Pa. Philornathean. Grace is one of our dignified Seniors, who, although she appears the most peaceable person in the world to strangers, is always getting into a scrape of some kind. She is a Sharon girl all right, but nevertheless she was kept track ot on Sat- urday nights by l1er dignified teachers. Twenty nine :s 1 4 5 2 li - ' QF-Sv.7y'Pf ' - 3 ,,. V.: . A.

Base-ball League Ed was one of the charter members of our class, was one of our Cgreat athletesj. He was a diligent worker in ,the school room, especially in Language and Mathematics, but at the sa.me time was always ready to enter into whatever fun- or sport there was at hand. Eddie, with his dark, wavy hair, light complexion, and winning smile was a friend of everyone who knew him, especially the girls. Ile had many struggles between right and wrong, but finally 'Wright triumphed and he has been happy ever since. 2. Ethel ltlay Thorpe, New Castle, Pa. Bryant. Ethel is one of the most delicate, bashful girls in the class of '12. She would make a very good helpmate for a minister, since she always goes to Bible class and sings Psalms. Like Richardson, she writes copies of love letters for her friends. Why is it that Ethel never had to walk to Kiester? 3. Wilmer Esther Beighley, Prospect, Pa. In yea.rs, Wilma is the baby ol? the Senior Class, although she stands high in her classes. If Wilinzi had not been so quiet, her classmates would have discovered the quaint side of her nature. 4. Frances L. Allen, Adamsville, Pa. Philomathean. Frances is one of our pretty girls who joined us in 1911, and our class could never be complete without her. ,lt at any time you want to see Miss Frances, you will find her snoozing in 105, North Tower. She is seldom seen.-with the boys, but it is not their fault, they say. For some reason Frances always gets blamed for everything she does. She even got blamed for tying tin cans to a dog 's tail and letting it loose in the dormitory one night about twelve o'clock. She is very faith- Ful in her class work and was never known to miss History of Ed. 5. Edna S. Dressing, Aspinwall, Pa. Bryant. Ednafs sunny hair is but a symbol ot her disposition. This disposition and her love for social life was the cause of most of her trouble. Her fondness for such life made her many friends. Often between the hours of sev-en and ten Edna could be seen wending her way liomeward through the halls, escorted by one of her fair. teacher friends. 6. Mary Anna Hauser, Penn Station, Pa. Mary came to Slippery Rock in the 'fall ot 1910 and took Junior Middle. Her most notable characteristics are black hair, dark eyes, and a happy, good-natured disposition. She always depends upon Clie to waken her in the mornings, as her reason is, You know '0lie' has a clock than can ring. Nevertheless, she is diligent and faithful her Work, and goes forth with the promise ot' a bright future. , Thfirty-:me 3 l 4 Lg , 5 2 li 1. John McCune, Volant, Pa. Bryant. Mgr. Class Base-ball Q35 3 Class Basket-ball Class Base-ball fl, 2, . A gentleman through and through. l.'rogressive, fair and square in all his dealings with his fellow students, well liked by all, he is one of the men 1912 can be proud to claim. ln the classroom, he is especially distinguished in mathe- matics. John took Middle while his classmates were Juniors, but he thought it best to impart knowledge in a country school house for a year. During his career in S. R. S. N. he has become quite a ladies' man. And her name was Maude. 2. Jeanette Elizabeth Pattison, Hadley, Pa. Bryant. Jeannette is one of our most popular girls at S. R., and is always in for a good time. Iler favorite sport is to don her head-gear resembling - and play 4KJEl,Ck-lTl1C-ljEEPER,H alo11g the balcony. 'Phe experience which she gains in pre- siding over feasts in 42, will undoubtedly be us-cful to her, if she goes West. Jeannette has bee11 chosen one ofthe artists of the SAXIGENA. 3. Anna Myrtle Davidson, Jackson Center, Pa. Bryant. y One of our bright, jolly, good-natured girls is Myrtle. She has the fairest hair of any girl in our class and therefore she is often called Blondy by her classmates. Here in , . gy. S. lt. Myrtle has distinguished herself as a kindergarten teacher, a11d we hope she will have as good success other places as here. 4. Twila lil. Lawson, Bellevue, Pa. . '1'hilomathean. Wee and winsome, she once possessed a large heart, but an underelassman wears it in his vest pocket now. Although a lover of the art ol' dancing, she, for a reason no one k11OWS, left without waiting for the dance given in Philo Hall. Iler favorite saying is, Gosh, kids, l'm hungry. Got any eats? And although she is small, she always has room for the eats. 5. Bertha Alicla Porter, blereer, Pa. Bertha is one of the happy girls in the Senior class, who came from up the country. During her stay at Normal she has made good use of her time. Ever diligent and faithful in her work, she goes forth with the promise of a bright future. She has distinguished herself as a kindergarten teacher and we feel certain that the pupils wl1o have her as a teacher will find her of a happy disposition. Iler motto is, Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. 6. Mary C. Robinson, Mercer, Pa. Mary is a graduate of Mercer High School. As she was valedictorian of hier class, we are not surprised that her work here was of a high order. She will be remembered for her superiority in mathematics. Mary is always calm and serene and is a girl of actionsnot words. However, when she' does speak, her expressions are extremely enticing. A Thirty-three as I r . , I ,AX 5?

Students' Club Gil, Class Base-ball Q2, 31. Some years ago the people of Parker were aroused by a voieeg this was Leltoy's. A small stature but a mighty voice has he. He came to S. R. in the fall of '08, but being a boy of good judgment, he missed a year and came back and joined our class in the fall of '10. LeRoy's friendly nature toward all has won for him a host of friends. Friendly a11d frank his friends have always found him. His excellent work in school, society, Christian Endeavor, and as chairman of varions committees has the confidence of the entire class. We are also proud of him because of his music, as he is one of the best soloists in our class. We all extend to Kelley our best wishes for a successful career in teaching. 2. Katherine Hoffman, Kennerdell, Pa., R. D. 2. A Bryant. Katherine is one of the jolly, good-natured girls who lives in the village. She is very good, we are told, in the cooking business. This is only one of the many traits which she possesses. Katherine is exceptionally well versed in the lines of Cicero and Trig, and in the latter she is able to solve the problems under the right triangle in many different ways' Her success in the future is hoped to prove as great as it has been here. A 3. Anna Rachel Sutter, Allison Park, Pa. Philomathean. Anna is one of the brightest girls in the class of '12, and is especially fond of poetry written by amateurs. She enjoys Hamm by day and eggs by night. Anna and Bob disagree about buying eats on Sunday, and tying ti11 cans to dogs' tails. llcr chief delight is in welcoming Bun at ten thirty P. M. 4+. Irma Jean VVhite, Mercer, Pa. Bryant. V ,lrma is one of the girls who entered our class in the spring of 1911. She is one of the most thorough students of her class. 'We have no doubt that her ambition to be a good Latin teacher will be realized in the future. 5. Jean Douthett Morrison, Evans City, Pa. Philomathean. .ln every way Jean deserves the title of Senior. She is above the petty things of life, choosing rather to dig out Latin than to skim over it, and she expects to read Homer in the near future. She is very fond of eats, jewelry, and the theater: Jean is a staunch defender of the Philomathean faith. 6. Leona Ewing, McCleary, Pa. e Philomathean. Sara is one of our examples who never lets her studies interfere with pleasure. Her affections are greatly divided. ls ever on the lookout for a nice fellow and on fine evenings is heard -to exclaim, Oh girls, what a night for wooing! Ileona is a staunch' supporter of the Philo faith, especially the imp1'omptu classes and the dancing. G-ee, 1 've got a case on him! , n 1 ' rmml- flve 3 ' 1 -L Ur n- s 5 2 6 1. James LeRoy Wiclz, Chicora, Pa. Philomathean. Class Marshal 135, Pres. Philo Society Sec'y Base-ball League Gil. Having completed the course of the Concord High School and taught one year, LeRoy joined us in the spring term of 1911. Early in his career he distinguished himself by his brilliant bass voice and has alwa.ys had a place of tame in the music circles of Slippery Rock. L-eRoy is also one of the best students of our class and although he is proficient in all his studies he is especially so in Vergil. Prof. Hamm one day said: Mr. Wicelc, who in your estimation was the most beautiful woman at the fall of Troy? Whereupon Mr. Wick immediately answered, Helen, 2. Lillian Loraine W1'igl1t, Elwood City, Pa. Philomathean. 'l'h0ugh small of stature, according to her imagination Bill is a giantess. 'iBill is irrepressible. Any hour of the day she might be heard scampering through the halls, and if she could not be heard we could Feel her tread by the rocking of the build- ing.

From amid Green County hills, in the fall ol' 1910, a bright-eyed little, maiden came to us. At Hrst her quiet, unas- suming air gave the impression of indiiference, but we soon learned that this was purely misleading. She is an enthusi- astic student in all lines, but excels in French and Oratory, in the latter of which she intends at some time to specialize in a leading dramatic school of Boston-unless-unless- the Western Problem may seem more attractive to her. How about it, Mary? 45. Edith Harriet Tribby, Sandy Lake, Pa. Bryant. Edith went to Sandy Lake High School two years, but she soon sought a place for higher knowledge.

Mary Louise Sheridan MeCrea, Fenelton, Pa. Philomathean. Louise's sweet :face and charming ways have certainly played havoc with the S. lt- ah no, the G. C.-lads.

Embedded among her many beautiful traits of character we find the one element which will mar her happiness when she becomes an old-maid school-teacher. This fault is worrying. So we advise you, Lillian, not to worry, but just Smile awhile. Wliile you smile, others smile till there are miles and miles of smiles. You'll find life worth while if you will just smile smiles. li. Laura Patton, New Castle, Pa. Bryant. Laura, whose home is about one mile east of New Castle, joined our class in the spring of l9l0.

Although Della has been with us but one year, in that time as well as gaining many friends she has clearly shown us her ability as a student.

By her friendly and sweet disposition she has won the love ol' her classmates. 5. Garnet Rhodes, New Castle, Pa. V' Philomathean. Q 4' l'is hard to he in love and be wise. So we forgave Garnet for inflicting upo11 us her works ol' genius as an authoress. Her diary was famed all over the school for its clever arrangement and original sketehes. She was a most capable manager and leader at all feeds and in impromptu dialogues and moving picture shows. Garnet has the hest disposition in the world and the rare gift of being pleasant and agreeable to everyone and every- thing except, study. ll' she ever stops talking it is because no one will listen and she is tired ol' talking to herself. She tries to give everyone the impression that she is heart whole and fancy free, but to thoscfwho know her- well, we know. . , 1 6. Bessie Elmira Kratzer, Duquesne, Pa. Philomathean.

French was liessieys chief hobby at school. Being 7fai,tlil'ul in her work she undoubtedly has a bright future.: Sixty-one Si:17fvlI tl.UU 1. Ralph Stugart, Hicks Run, Pa.

We are compelled to forgive our neighboring Normal, Clarion, for allowing Stng to leave that place and join our renowned class. llowever, that we have 11ow become accustomed to him, we find him a good companion and class- mate. We are proud to have in our class such a good stu- de11t, athlete, and allround good fellow. llow often, when the outcome of the football game seemed doubtlful, we were thrilled to see Stug plunge down the field with the pig- skin. On the varsity baseball team he is a star. Although he is one of our main men in all athletic sports, he does not let that interfere with his studies, and we predict for him an -even greater future along other lines than in athletics. 2. Helen VVright, Zelienople, Pa. 13l1llOITlHl1l1C3,ll. Helen came to Slippery Rock i11 the fall of 1910 and has since been a shining light to her classmates. As a stu- dent she has bee11 diligent and faithful. She has never been known to lose her temper, except a few times in Arithmetic. 3. Mary Louise Zuschlag, South Sharon, Pa. Bryant. If you ean't remember her name, just call her cold- slaw. Mary is characterized by her optimistic ways, tllltl to know her is to love her.

Gladys Wilsori, Stoneboro, Pa. 1,l1ll0IH8fl1ll621H. Good and sweet to look at, the uncommon example of a girl who can keep a secret. Gladys has very radical ideas on that important question fellows and never acknowl- edges that she does not know something about everything. She is especially noted for her ability and willingness to fix you up and is always busy helping others. 'We wonder what Stoneboro does without her. Glady's artistic nature is shown by her taste i11 dresses and her love ol' dancing at all times and i11 all places. She has a loving, generous dis- position, golden hair and blue eyes, but above all her most prominent characteristic was her love for one special color- gray. l 6. Elizabeth Smith, Edinburg, Pa. Studious, good, and jolly is this girl from our neighbor- ing city. We like her very much, but would rather not have her come in and waken us every Sunday morning, saying, Girls, hurry and get ready to go to Sunday School with me. ' Sikvty-three S'i.urLy -four , X1 H. 1. Elsie Rhodes, New Castle, Pa. Philoinathean. Only a little lower than the angels, Elsie has both quan- tity and quality. On constant parade in the halls, and ready at all times with her original ideas and inspirations to outwit the teacher in oiiiee, little Elsiel' is a general favorite in the Dorm. She was very fond of eats and hardly known to study. lfler favorite haunt was the tennis court where she out-played us all. Elsiels wit was especially brilliant at night after bells when our appreciation ol? it was rarely pleasing to the teachers. ller love affairs have not bothered her much nor anything else, it seems. Elsie was indispensable to the class as she is an unusually entertaining companion ktlltl. loyal friend. 2. Mary Beighley, Prospect, Pa. Mary is one of the bright, studious girls of our class. She is a very thorough student, and in her knowledge in Languages could not be excelled. A bright future in the educational world is predicted for her. 3. Lelia Hazel Bonzo, Zelienople, Pa.

Edith Mae Rawlings, Duquesne, Pa. Philomathean. Did you ever hear of a girl who preferred to laugh when called upon in class rather than to recite? This is Edith, a smart young lady always in high spirits, ready to laugh on any occasion, ready to give a helping hand to any who needs her assistance. She will be long remembered for her affeetionate nature, and her kindlieartedness. 5. Edna Florence Campbell, New Galilee, Pa. Bryant. ln the fall of 1910 this little black-haired maiden jour- neyed from her pretty country home n-ear New Galilee to S. R. to join our ranks and has proved herself faithful throughout our course. Edna seems very serene and modest, but those who know her best know that she is quite witty and merry. She is given to talking a great deal at times, her favorite expression being, Oh, girls, he is the divinest man. 6. Bertha Keister, Slippery Rock, Pa. Philomathean. Bertha is the baby of our class. She has hard work to make people believe she isn't a Junior. She is always rushing from one class room to another.

John is one ol? the kind of 'fellows who are a good thing to have in a class. llis pleasant man- ner and friendly good will have won for him many friends. John is one olf the members of our class who have been in it ever since the class was organized. Ever since he has been here John has had many friends among the members ofthe opposite sex. The only objection that the other boys have ever had to John is the fact that he has a.lways made it his business to have a partner whether any one else had one or not. Owing to the fact that J'ohn's friends are not all in the Senior Class We expect to hear of him making many visits to his dear Alma lVlater next year. 2. Hattie VVelch, New Castle, Pa. Philomathean. Hattie was a perfect little lady while in New Castle High School. lint 'tis said Love will work wonders and it surely did in lIattie's ease, 'lfor after a few months in S. lt. Hattie was caught in the heinous crime ol' dancing in 'Philo llall. Then did Hattie's New Castle training assert itsellf and she renounced dancing for ever. lieing rather quiet, Hattie with great presence of mind chose a churn ol' great oratorical powers.

The following fall Haskell entered the Normal, being one ol' the charter members of our class.

Pauline was one of the bright sunshine girls of our class, but sometimes she brought gloom if she failed to bring the looked for letter. Owing to the faet that she was a good eonversationalist, she had to rise many mornings very early to dig in the realms of Cicero while her roommates were peacefully sleeping. 6. Jennie Florence Dight, VVest Liberty, Pa. Florence, as may be seen from her photograph, is of a happy disposition. She is a continual inspiration to her host of friends and to all those with whom she comes in con- tact. Florence entered Normal in the fall of 1909. Her ann after graudation is to become a great teacher, but we fear that her work will not extend farther than Buffalo. 7. Belle Easton, Sharon, Pa. Philomathean. I A graduate of I-Iiekory' Township I-Iigh School, Belle is one of the Sharon bunch who believes that silence is golden at some times. She doesn't like to play '4'l'RUTH', when there are many around.

Under the instruction of the faculty and the supervision ofthe upper classmen, they succeeded in reducing their greenness to a lighter shade. In the fall of 1911 tl1e class of one hundred and eighty brilliant and industrious students was reorganized and introduced to the graver duties ol' a middler, wl1icl1 up to this time, they have performed diligently and successfully. At the time of the foot-ball season, our lllidille boys did some spectacular playing on the gridiron, of which the class was justly proud.VVhen the winter term began, both the llliddle girls and boys were prominent in basket-ball, even winning many games for the honor ol' the school. But the leading event of the year was the reception which the Middlers gave to the Seniors. The Mid- dlers opened the entertainment of the evening in the Chapel with an address of welcome, which was then fol- lowed by a response from the Senior president. A l'terwards a very amusing comedy was given by some of the talented members of the class. Leaving the Chapel we were I urther entertained in the society halls by music, games, puzzles, and magic art. The lunch served to four hundred people brought a pleasant and successful evening to a close.

R. N. When they found that this was to be their home For several winters, some cried, some bawled, some yelled, and others hollowed for their mothers. It was a pitiable sight to behold. The seniors tired to soothe them, the Faculty gave them needed words ol' encouragement, but all was to no avail. As the terms rolled on they Seemed to be lost, as 1012 was the first year ol the 'I'our-year course they were unable to even organize as a elass. Nevertheless they had some fine fellows among them, who, when the call for strong men for the teams was given, poured out in crowds as though some good fairy had waved her wand. Now we are on the upward road to success and will, when we are Seniors, make some of the now present bunch look in amazement. They will all have to be introduced as strangers. 'VV e are unexcelled in beauty or charm, But by this we do Seniors and ltlids no harm, To our boys and girls there is some class, And we all work like troopers State Board to pass. Some future day the leading we'll do, , And be looked up to - by not only a few, For even the Faculty will have to smile And admit that they too like our style. Lives of Seniors still remind us, lVe are not too green to burn, And the lVIids are not to brag of, Still there's room for us to learn. Ninety-one 5 Ninety - two jg, Hcfwv-'QOUJ PHI LO HALL Philomathean Literary Society lilotto - Labor 1 ructum 1+'crt. Colors - Orange and Black Before speaking of the present condition of' tl1e Philomatliean Society, it is necessary to know something of its origin. Slippery Rock opened her doors for the reception of students on March twenty-six, eighteen eighty-nine. For a Sl101'l2 time, there was no literary workoi' any kind carried on in the school, but iinally the young men organized a debating club called The Irving Debating Clubf' But as the girls were not allowed to join the debating club, they had no part in society work. The Faculty realizing that the gi1'ls as well as the boys, needed training along this line, appointed Professor Ricketts to call the students together, and, with them, consider plans for a permanent organization. This meeting was called near the opening of the first spring term, and its outcome was tl1e present Bryant Society. The next fall term, the Neotrophian So- ciety was started. In the winter term of the year eighteen ninety-l'our, the Irving Debating Club was aban- doned, and its members joined the Neotrophian Society, which from this time on was called the l'hilomathean Society. VVhen the Philomathean Society was lirst organized, it held its meetings on Saturday ai'ternoons at tllree- thirty. If a student did not belong to either Society, he was required to give a performance of literary nature, at the Chapel hour. Two programs of especial merit were carried out by our Society during the year: the Living Pictures and the Leap Year prog1'ams. The list ot' pictures presented included many of Harrison 1'llSll6l',S and Howard Chandler Christy's. The pictures, The Fudge Partyf, The New I+'ashioned Courtshipw and Good Night were greeted with especial applause. The girls had entire, charge of the Leap Year program. sflne of' the features of the evening was the illustrated number oi' the Philo Gem. At the present time, work in the Philomathean Society, as in many orgatxizatiors ol this kind, is held at too low a value by some, but the fact remains that a literary society opens up a field, that is not particularly emphasized in the regular class room work. It is an art to be able to express one's ideas in a forceful manner, and upon the spur oi the moment. It is in this that the Philo Society ranks high and it is a fact that many of' the alumni, who we1'e members of the Philo Society, owe their start in public speaking, to their work in this organization. J. D. M. Ninety- 11120 .'Vi114:L.U-Siu, The Bryant Society Shortly after the birth of Slippery Rock State Normal, a taste for literary work arose. The young men of the school at this period started a club which they called The Irving Debating Club. The ladies of the school had no literary society of any kind. ' Of course the ladies needed literary work as well as the young men, so in the spring of 1889 a meeting was called by one ofthe Faculty in order to organize a society for the young men and young ladies. The proposition which this member of the Faculty had in mind was to begin a society and join it with The Irving Debating Club. To this the young men of the club objected. A Faculty meeting was then called. This time it was decided that an independent organization be started. This new organiza- tion was in' charge of both the young men and young women. It was called the Bryant Society. The Bry- ants held their meetings on Saturday afternoons in the old chapel. Soon. the society grew too large and it was decided to start a new society. Another society was then started under the name Neotrophian. After a short time the Neotrophian and The Irving Debating Club joined and formed what is now known as the Philoma- thean. The present society halls were obtained by drawing cuts, the Bryants having first choice. The Bryant Society has always been the most prominent society in literary work and in pleasure. Its members strive to make it the very best and to get all the good out of the work done that possibly can be ob- tained. The career of the Bryant Society is noteworthy and is worth spending time in looking back over. The prog1'ammes of the Bryant Society are always of literary order and of help to its members. The work done in the society not only helps one in literary work but helps one in public speaking as well. The motto of the society is, Altiora Quaeruims , which means We Strive Higher . This motto is well suited to the society and its members. This motto has always been well carriediout in each and every per- formance ofthe society. It does not only seem to be the motto of the society as a whole, but seems to be the motto of each and every individual member of the society. May the motto of the Bryant Society ever be 1 C. L. D., '12. Altiora Quaerimusf' - Ninety-seven Efficiency The word efficiency may be applied to many and widely separated sub ects. Webstei' defines it as the power of producing an effectf, Since the existence of ou1' world depends upon well regulated causes and their effects, we may say that our very existence depends upon the efficiency of these causes to produce the effect for which they were created. But coming to a finer meaning of the term, namely, as applied to the industrial world, we find here that efliciency is defined as the ratio of the work done by a machine to the work required to run it. The lowness in value of this ratio has caused mankind much bitter toil. The ignorant laborer struggles with inefficient tools to do work which might be done with half the expenditure of energy. Our modern railway engines are only six per cent efficient, much of the energy of coal being lost in useless smoke, other losses are incurred in over- coming friction. The great problem of mankind has been to gather up this wasted energy and to use it in the most efficient way. The solution of this problem has called for efficiency in another sphere, and it is to that sphere which we now desire to turn. From time immortal the world has been calling for meng men to be its rulers, men to be its teachers, men who WV6l'C not only willing but able to be its foremost leaders. It requires something more of these men than the ordinary. They must perform g1'eat tasks, think great thoughts, do great deeds, but more than this they must do these things in the best possible way. In other words they must be efficient men. This call for the efficient man is gradually becoming more urgent as the world becomes more practicable. The question now arises who is an efficient man. Is it the physically perfect athlete? Is it the intellectual book worm who cultivates nothing but his brain? Is it the moral fanatic? Is it any of these lop-sided folk as one person aptly calls them? No, decidedly not, none of these men are prepared to solve the intricate problems of life. But who then is this efficient man? In the following discussion we shall attempt to show that the all- U Ninety-eight F0 round efficient man is that person who possesses, first, a well developed body, second, a well balanced mind, and third, a clearly defined moral sense. Q Physical efficiency is the foundation of all true success.Tl1e body is the instrument of' the soul. I-Iow, then, can the soul manifest itself' without the aid of a well developed body? One writer suggests that the first requisite of success in life is, to be a good animalzw that is to eat three hearty meals a day and after a hard day's work sleep eight or nine hours of undisturbed peace. XV e hear of' men breaking dow11 under the tense strain to which they are sub ected. Are those persons successful? Even if they have occupied high po- sitions of trust can they be said to have attained that true success which brings peace and joy in old age? In- tellectual success purchased at the dear price of a wrecked body is not worth the having, and cannot be true success. . The body should be cultivated so as to keep pace with tl1e mental culture. Emerson says: Get health. No labor, pains, temperance, poverty, nor exe1'cise, that can gain it should be judged, for sickness is a canni- bal which eats up all the life and youth it can lay hold off, Mentally able but physically weak might be written after many a man's name whose bodily condition barred the pathway to a greater fame which other- wise would have been ope11 to him. VVe see men in spite of' weak constitutions fighting their way to the front. VV hat would be the possibilities of' these same men if aided by a healthy body? Some persons inherit weak constitutions, yet this may be overcome if' the right treatment is taken. Theodore Roosevelt, while yet a lad, was told that on account of his unhealthy body he had not long to liveg but he willed to do otherwise and under- took a vigorous course of' physical exercise. The results speak for themselves. Physical efficiency requires care in regard to three things, first, food, second, clothing, and third, habits of work and exercise. The tendency of' many to-day is to ignore the demands of the body in order to satisfy those of' the mind. On the other hand the development of' the body may be carried to the extreme. It is not the brute force of' the prize-ring fighter, but the vitality or nervous force obtained by proper exercise that tells in the fierce struggle of modern life. The most efficient body, then, is that one which f'ur.nishes its possessor with the largest and best sustained supply of nervous energy. Ninety-nine Tl1e second great characteristic of the efficient man is a well balanced mind. A well filled mind is 11ot nec- essarily a well balanced one. The mentally efficient man must have a certain amount of culture along all lines of knowledgeg along with this culture he must possess the power of separating the important from the unim- portant. In other words he must be disciplined to meet any emergency wl1icl1 may tax his general knowledge. Labor conquers all things , is an old maxim whose truth is ever becoming more clearly recognized. The road into learning is alike f'ree to all who will give the labor and the study requisite to follow it. Nothing that is of' real worth can be achieved without courageous working. 'iWe must not only strike the iron while it is hot, but strike it till it is made hot. Our American ideas are tending to offer short cuts by which a goal may be reached without the prepara- tio11 necessary to do the work efficiently when one has arrived. The mental discipline acquired in reaching a goal is almost as valuable as the goal itself. An ideal suddenly reached too often results in an ignomineous defeat. Like Rienzi, the champion of the common people of Italy against the oppressing nobles,- gifted with considerable talent and great eloquence,- raised to wonderful power and influence OVCI' all Italy,- failed to supplement his talent and eloquence with the necessary self mastery and fell from l1is height accused of vanity and weakness. Efficiency comes only as tl1e result of discipline and there is no discipline in short cuts. We must be pricked by the thorns ofthe wayside before we learn to value tl1e goal at its true WO1'tll. A receptive mind is one of the most valuable possessions a man can have, and in order to secure this, it is necessary to undergo the most severe mental discipline. A definite time devoted to a definite subj ect each day for a few months would, in the opinion of one writer, produce wonderful results. But in order to do this one needs, first, a strong will, and second, good sense in using it. Develope the power of concentration. It is impossible to conceive the result if the thinking power of the multitude of human beings were properly directed. A great majority of people do 1l0t exert thei1' minds to more than one-half' their full capacity. Leisure for some is a synonym for idleness but for those who would succeed it must mean a time devoted to the side issues of lifeg or it may mean a time to study out the details which go to make up the regular occu- Ono hundred pation. Efficiency does not consist in knowing how to do a thing but in clearly understanding the why of the how. The engineer is not prepared to run his engine until he knows the use of every bit of' metal about it. The most practical mental efficiency then, in the opinion of' one authoritive writer, consists in a thorough acquaintance with the sciencesg naming, first, Mathematics, second, Physics, third, Chemistry, fourth, Biology, and fifth, the Science of Society. Although this opinion may be open to severe criticism yet it must be re- membered in so doing that it does not refer to specialized but to general efiiciency. We come now to the last and most important characteristic ofthe efficient man: moral efiiciency. No man is prepared to live without this characteristic, he may possess the other two in abundance yet lacking this one he is, not will be, a failure. Moral efficiency does not mean merely goodness. Good moral intentions are worthless if not backed up by the efficiency necessary to carry them out. Aman who is efficiently doing evil is more commendable than a blundering good man attempting to do good. A minister is naturally expected to be a good man but unless he is an efficient pastor and preacher he will find that no congregation will tolerate him. Moral efficiency may be obtained by closely watching and controlling daily conduct, our daily actions form habits, habits fo1'm character, character is power, and power constitutes efficiency. Character is not a prize won by a single mighty battle, but comes only after countless victories over petty tyrannics wl1icl1 appear daily in our lives struggling to overmaster us. Aman of' character is morally efficientg but who is a man of character? He is one who is organized, armed, equipped, and in full possession of' himselff' 'A man without character is a victim of' circumstances and a victim of circumstances is a menace to his fellow men. . The greatest struggle which tl1e human race has had to wage in the past and will have to wage in the fu- ture is the war upon evil. This is the only f'oe over which man alone may not become absolute master, here a superior being is needed to aid and comfort in the fierce struggleg and it is only by seeking and obtaining this help that we are able to stand face to face with the world and say that we are morally efficient to meet the duties and obligations of lif'e. One hundred mul our' Living is a business in which every person must engage, and the manner in which each one conducts that business will determine the degree of efficiency with which that person is conducting his life. Let us, then, st1'ive to mold our lives in such a way that, not neglecting either the physical, mental, or moral side, we may be able to meet the duties and obligations of this life with the highest degree of efficiencyg and in so doing bequeath a higher standard of life to those generations which are to follow in our footsteps.

Educators have realized that no one's education is complete unless he l1as a knowledge of music, so music has been made an essential study in most schools. The lllusic Department of S. R. S. N. has been very successful during the past year. Professor Leason achieved very satisfactory...1'esults from his students in the Voice Department. The Instrumental Department was in charge of Miss Dutsan, a graduate of L. R. A. M., London. S. R. S. N. can well congratulate itself in securing such an able instructor. S The feature of' the programs rendered by the Literary Societies every Saturday night is the music. This consists of selections both vocal and instrumental. Indeed, the programs are considered very dull when the music numbers are lacking, Much interest was taken in the Normal Choral Society, under the management of Prof. Leason, by the members of the Senior Class and other students. On the evening of Wasliingtorils Birthday, the Society ren- dered the Old Folks Concertv, which was enjoyed very much by all. The members of the Society were cos- tumed very much as our grand-parents dressed, and in this way added much interest to the program. On J' une 25, Class Night, the Society, assisted by members of the Pittsburg Orchestra, by W. E. Ernest, the Tenor, and by J. K. llleyers, tl1e Bass, gave Handel's Oratorio of the Messiahf' The young ladies and gentlemen of the Senior Class proved their talent by the parts they took in this Chorus. The prospects of the llfusic Department of S. R. S. N. are very good. We hope the succeeding classes will keep up this spirit.

As I lay sleeping, I dreamed that the leaves of the maple were falling and on each one was written tl1e future of a former classmate. The first leaf which I picked up revealed to me tl1e fact that Gregg Kerr was a minister in Philadelphia. This was not a great surprise to me when I remembered that he had always been so inclined. I also learned from the leaves that Helen McGaughey and LeRoy Wick were married and lived in New Orleans. They were the happy possessors of six dear little lamp-lighters fWicksj. Howard VVolford was a cab-driver in Pittsburg. liiaira Knepley was singing for a large theatre company, while Eva Kirkpatrick was noted for being a famous piano player in tl1e same company. Eleanor Butler was a teacher in the far west. Alyce Kirk was matron of an old ladies' home, while her friend Kathryn Baugh had taken Miss Bingham's place in Slip- pery Rock. John Galloway was foreman of a very prosperous silk-mill in New Jersey, while Garnet and Elsie Rhodes had a large millinery store in New York. Jean Morrison was a Latin teacher in a college in one of our southern states. Vessie Caughey was a prima donna on the Persian stage. She was loved and admired by all who heard her. Ralph Stugart was a lawyer in Boston and I-I. C. Slater was a noted doctor in the same city. Hattie Welch and Francis Tripp had both married and gone west to live. Clarence Gealy was manager of an agricultural school in Arizona. Bess and Chap were married and lived in Slippery Rock, be- cause they had come to love the place in their school days. Chap,' was a detinst and had his office in one of the large buildings on Main street. Louise McCrea was also married and had recently moved to Slippery Rock in order to educate her children there. Bernice Ma1'shall and Frances Allen had gone to Africa as mis- sionaries. LeRoy Black was possessor of a large hotel in Pittsburg and John Robinson was ticket agent in one of the depots in the same city. Jeanette Pattison was a teacher in' one of the schools in a large city near Slippery Rock. Mabel Mathews had taken Miss Robinsonls place i11 Slippery Rock and was carrying on the One humlrcd and seven work ust as Miss Robinson did in former days. Lillian 'VV right and Ed. VV alter were married and lived in West Virginia. Ed. was a doctor there, and Helen VV right was a teacher in the same place and made her home with Lillian and the doctor. John MeCune owned a large fish market in Florida. Anna Sutter was married and lived in South Carolina. Everett Glasgow ran a dairy wagon supplying the Normal and a large portion of the town with milk. Grover Smith was a barber in Pittsburg, while Marie Neumarker and Leona Ewing had a hair dressing and manicuring establishment nearby. Frances McKee and Mary Plunkett had a large stationery and book store in Slippery Rock. Eva Stevenson was married to a United States Senator and lived in Washington, D. C. DeWitt Hall owned a large stock farm near Chicago and shipped his stock there. To my great surprise Juanita Greene had settled down and married a minister. Findley. Miller was editor of The Slippery Rock Daily Times. Alice Hitchcock and I-Ierbert lNIcCaughtry were ma1'ried and lived in Pittsburg. Herbert had a large store and the sign board on the outside of it read Fresh butter, eggs and cheese. H. McCaughtry Sz Sonf' Howard Harbison was a football coach at Princeton. Besse Spears had a dressmaking establishment in a city near Slippery Rock. Twila Lawson had married an underclassmate and lived near Pittsburg. Kathleen Thomas was a nurse in a large hospital in San Francisco. Orlo McCoy was employed as motorman by one of the Slippery Rock street car companies. Ansel Connell had invented a new sort of aeroplane which proved a very good o11e and he was very popular on this account. Edith Raw- lings was an eloqution teacher in a small town 11ea1' Pittsbu1'g. At this moment I was awakened by a brisk shower. I was very sorry that my dream had been inter- rupted and that I had been prevented from learning the fate of the remainder of my classmates. , - s M. B., 12. One hundred and eight Ebepartment of llbbyeical Ebucation Department of 'Physical Education Tl1is department has for its purpose the development and establishment of the physical foundation for a vigorous, useful life. No one can appreciate the significance of this purpose as much as the one who is physi- cally deficient. There is probably nothing so much undervalued by those who have it, or so much coveted by those who have it not, as health. It is very easy to keep in health if you have itg everything is in your favor. Nature who never makes a mistake in her economies, would rather have you so than not, fights desperately before she will submit to any other condition. But when one persists in taking the wrong course, he becomes a criminal against nature's laws, and as with the civil criminal who breaks the law which would restrain him, there is nothing left but to perish Physically. Every man has a law unto himselff' Wliat one person could do with impunity, another would suffer for doing. The law is based upon individual conditionsg nature's prin- ciples are always the same. Her .laws are not, so she ordains that one person's liberty, if exercised by another, would be penalized as a violation of law. What does all the analogy mean? Simply this, that in order to have physical comfort - by which we mean refreshing sleep, vigorous appetite, perfect digestion, buoyancy of spirits, energy, snap, bounce -- he must conform to those conditions essential to it, and these conditions include the sympathetic use of the bodily powers, the proper renovating of the system, a regular renewing of tl1e wear- ing out parts: a constant addition to the reserve fund of energy. The sum total of these conidtions is I1 ealth, and the solution of the whole problem of preserving the balance is Ewercise. This then, is the purpose of the Department of Physical Education to furnish the opportunity and means to promote these conditions which underlie bodily ability, physical' affluence - Health. Our gymnasium is one of the best in the state, superbly equipped, heating, light and ventilation perfect. In the classes, German, Swedish and American gymnastics are taught. Each student is required to take this work twice a week, but many have taken advantage of other classes, besides taking up the more advanced work. Special attention has been given to corrective and school- room gymnastics so that the students may not only derive the greatest benefit themselves, but be in a position to conduct calisthenics drills in their school-room or play grounds when they leave here to become teachers.

But after this age it is absolutely necessary that girls en- gage i11 other form and type of work, otherwise poor health may overtake them and physical training would be in bad repute in consequence. And for this reason close attention has bee11 given to the girls' department -- in physical training. In our gymnasium, which is one of the best equipped in the state, we have a variety of apparatus which has been used extensively by the girls. In addition to the all-round gymnastic Work, a large number of the girls have taken special work in fencing and Rhythmic gymnastics. Certain restrictions have been placed upon all atheltic contests for girls and they are never permitted to carry such contests to the extreme as are the boys when in training. It has been a ground rule to let the girls engage in all forms of' athletics, gymnastics, and recreation which would tend to build up physically, give them a correct poise and keep them in the most healthful condition pos- sible. PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR BOYS Gymnastics for men is another strong department in the course of physical education. Their purpose is to increase one's vitality, cultivate the respiratory power, and to give general physical development as well as give strength and skill. i Unlike athletics they are not designed for competition and for this reason the large number who are in qualified by their lack of athletic ability to serve on the various teams are given an opportunity to indulge in all forms of physical exercise. ' V Each student after registering in the department is required to undergo a thorough physical examination including measurements and strength tests that the correct type of work may be prescribed for his particular de- fect if there is any. Those not phyiscally able to take the regular class work are given special work in medical and corrective gym- nastics with the View of preparing them for such work. Thus the real idea of a systematic course in gymnastics is to produce a strong healthy physique for the men- tal faculties.

Too many in the squad, the game was entirely new, Eddie', Waltei.' and McFate being the only men f1'om the 1910 varsity team. Nevertheless, Coach Snyder started the bunch through his well known course O I ll ll tj 6 of sprouts', and soon transformed the light, inexperienced candidates into a team whose goal line was crossed only by a single team during the season. The game opened with Tarentum Scholastics. The boys were backed by a very enthusiastic crowd, whose endless cheers urged the team to win their first victory - ten to nothing. After two weeks more of good hard training, the squad trotted on the field to meet Duff's College. This game proved to be a good scrimmage for the team -Walte1 pushing the ball over the line twice for a touchdown. The third game was more practice, for the boys learned to face defeat by being overpowered by Beaver Falls High. BIcCarter featured heavily for the opposing team. However, this defeat only served as a spur for better work, since the following game This game was the fierce struggle with the Allegheny Reserves, who only prevented a victory to the Green and Wllitei' by their constant punting as Slippery Rock many times dangerously approached their goal line. On November 11th, the squad faced New Kensington High. This was a very well played game on the part of the Normal. The line proved a perfect stone wall to the High School boysg never once did Kensington get through the line. On November Qoth, our crew crossed swords with the Clarion Eleven. The game proved a runa- way from the first and before the end of the last quarter, seven touchdowns were shoved back of our opponents' goal post. Upon the blowing of the whistle Clarion left the field, resembling very closely a 'flast year's bird nest, and holding the short end ofa forty-one to nothing score. The varsity ended the season by cleaning up Oakdale High in fine style. Gallagher caused endless cheering by his eighty yard dashes. On October 14ith, the Normal Reserves kicked off to Sharpsville High. This game showed the stuff the Reserves were made of and ended with twenty-three points to their credit. Presents are usually given on the 25th of December, but the Scrubs presented their compliments to New VVilmington High on the 25th of No- vember by the score of eight to three. With the exception of Ialarbison, no player received injury during the entire season. Those who earned jerseys for the last time were Bombeck, Stugart, Patton, VValter, Gealy and lNIcFate.

This prediction was excellently proven true, as some of the best games ever seen on the Normal floor were played by the varsity of 1912. Among the foremost of these games were those with the Sharon Buhl Club, Clarion Nor- mal, Hiram College and Grove City College. Tl1e Buhl Club was walloped with a score ol' twenty-five to six- teen, through the fast work of Gallagher, wl1o caged the pea six times. On February 12 the purple and gold of Clarion appeared before Slippery Rock rooters. Although the score was 31 to 15 in the Green and VVhites,' favor the game was real basket-ball from start to finish, the Clarion bunch playing with the courage of a bull dog. The Itliram College team afforded tl1e basket-ball fans an opportunity to enjoy some real sport, in a fast and interesting game. However, when the Hiram troop pulled together for their Rah,', Ralf, the score- board gleamer - Slippery Rock, 23g Hirma, 20. On February 5 the ancient warriors of Grove College pre- sented themselves. In the beginning the Normal took the lead and at the end of the first half the Purples had the little end of eleven to six. But the tide came in in the second half and raised the sco1'e to 29 to 20 in Grove City's favor. During the entire game the yells of both schools made the Gym,' walls ring. U But the un- ceasing singing and CllCCl'lllg' of the loyal Normal students illustrated the real school spirit of Slippery Rock. During the season the team made two trips abroad. The first of these ourneys was made to Clarion Nor- mal on February 5, Where Slippery Rock scored forty points while their opponents we1'e ringing up twenty-one. The Clarion boys were greatly out-classed, the winners having the ball almost the whole time of the play. The entire team shone but the one star was bean shooterl' Harbison, who played rings around the Clarions and scooped the pea into the basket six times. On February 20, Slippery Rockls five invaded the realms of Grove City to play a fast, well-played game with a score of 47 to 29 in Grove City's favor.

After some careful consideration, he attempted and succeeded in forming the 'zliig Schools League. This was an entirely new feature at the Normal. That it was going to be a success, soon suggested itself by the great interest shown by the students. The candidates were divided into six groups, which bore the name of some well known Universities. In command of each was placed one of the first team men who acted as coach and manager. plilligibility rules which were based upon proficient standing in scholar- ship and conduct, were formed. Then a schedule was drawn up and the games began. An admission of one cent was charged for each game. The good attendance at all the games, had secured a neat little purse by the close ofthe season. This sum presented each player ol' the Cornell team with a beautiful S. R. S. N. cushion. The league proved to be a perfect success a11d undoubtedly will be a part of the athletic menu hereafter.

The record of tl1e teams for many past seasons is but one bright light. Moreover the shining does not radiate as if it come from some good high school team but the troup which represents this institution even rivals the best of college teams. The outlook of the season of' 1912 does not indicate that the wick is to be lowered. The only dim spot is the piteher's box, but this dininess is caused by inexperienee and not a lack of material. It is thought that before the hard part of the schedule is reached, the mound will be well fortified by several good batteries - Gallagher, Stoops and Hutcheson. Stugart i's the one big electric bulb behind the bat. He joined the Nor- mal squad in the season of 1911 as catcher for the varsity and has that position clinched for the coming season. To see his excellent work with the mitt one would think that the pill was made of steel and his glove a horse- shoe magnet. Beside being good with the stick, Ralph has a big league peg to second which often catches the runner in his slide to the bag. Aber is the fly paper on the first sack. I-Ie gathers the bean up with the ease of' a leaguer and undoubtedly has this position safe for the season. Adams is showing up fine at second and this section of the field will certainly resist all bombarding of the pull if Arthur keeps up his good work. Bal- las, in the old home of VVagner, scoops the cork up in a clever manner. Aston is holding down sack num- ber three. Bill is giving a fine exhibition with the stick and all the fans expect to see Bill making several chasers around the diamond in the form of home runs. Miller will undoubtedly occupy the position of' left field-altho a new man he is making a good showing for this position. Harbison 1'omps middle field. He pulls the pill out of' the sunshine with the ease of' the old Pirate-Fred Clarke. In Stoner we find a right fielder, who will certainly be a big well on that section of the field. VVith these players in their respective positions and big bunch of subs. on the bench, the diamond will certainly be nothing but one big glimmer. The team will surely be tl1e best that ever represented the Green and VVhite. One lmmrlrcfl ami forty in f, gi i , gltfff. -7-lg .-, hiss'-A-kv' ---1 ' Senior Baseball Team LINE-UP Glasgow . . . ....

If you come by rail you will find good RHODES in f'1'om REDMOND and KIESTER. The only difference in these is that the one from RED- MON D is somewhat longer. At either station you will find a good HECKMAN, wl1o will attend to your luggage and deliver you safely at the school, where you will find, at the landing, two PORTERS and a PAGE to receive you. They will conduct you to the office, where you will be introduced to members ot' the faculty, to whom yo11 pay your tuition and arrange for your course of study. If' you are a GOULD or a INIORGAN or have good financial standing, you need not pay at once, otherwise you must pay for at least half of the term's tuition or give BOND. Try to take the regular course as it is very interesting and the school offers every advantage to those who expect to complete the work. Zoology is studied from living specimens, among the choicest of these are the MARTIN, KERR and CAMPBELL. Not far from the school is an UNDERVVOOD where botany specimens may be secured, and about two miles north of town, at VVOLFORD you may get many helps in the study of' Geology. These places are just far enough away to make a pleasant TRIPP, if you are a good VVALKER. ' However, if' you do not care to take the regular course, you may specialize and fit yourself for a TAY- LOR, a MILLER,, a BUTLER, a SMITH, a STEWART or a SEAMAN. All students are required to REED SPENCER and to carry one language, either VVELSH or POLLOCK. When you are through in the office, turn to the preceptress, if she is not there, HUNTER and have her find you a place at the table. It will be somewhat of a CROSS when you enter the dining HALL and all the former students LEAR at you. They evidently see you are GREEN and are planning a HAZEN for you. VV hen the bell sounds be seated. Gaze not on the VVEINSTEIN and ask not, where did the last GLAS- GOVV. If there should be boiled SHANKS and fried CUNNINGIMIM, donit misjudge the school and think you are in a HOAGLAND. LAWSON ? The menu changes every day and some of the dishes have PATTONS on them. Just wait until Tuesday morning and you will hear some delighted student exclaim O-LIVER and GERLAUCH! - After your day's travel and it's excitement your head will surely be AIKEN and you will be ready at an early hour to say your Here I LAMEYU. In the morning pay careful attention to DRESSING, remember 0 I I mdrcfl and forty!-four it is better to be a KING among hogs than a HOGG among kingsf' Begin your lessons at once and apply yourself witl1 ZIEIJ. This is the VVRIGIAIT thing to do besides the faculty loves a good VVORKNIAN and if you expect to be treated VVIIITE you will have to work until you are BLACK in the face. Let your light shine before them by keeping tl1e WICKS trimmed and burning. Then if tl1e teachers donit give you good marks, choose a NEWlNIARKl4lR, SLATER and send the name to the trustees. Perhaps your work will SUTTER and everything will go along GAILEY. ,I After four years of hard work you will be able to leave the school with your diploma tucked under your arm and a feeling in your heart that you may PIERCE deeper this fear of knowledge, although you are now a well SCHOLLARD person. - RHODA STRAVVBRIDGE. A Period for Observation . Were a person to enter the lower hall of the main building during the period of recitation and remain while the students are changing class rooms, he could learn many things that would help him. He would find only a few persons who were waiting in the halls and most of those would be engaged in study or in low conversation. His thoughts would likely drift to those who were inside the class rooms and their purpose in being there. In a few minutes his thoughts would be interrupted by the clanging of a gong and from behind each door would pour a crowd of gaily chatting students who, seemingly, have but one object in view for the present, that of reaching the next recitation room. In his opportunity of observing those wl1o pass him he could imagine the kind of teachers they will make. I-Ie might be able to judge in a small degree concerning their intellectual abil- ity and in an unguarded moment might decide somewhat 'in regard to their character. In a few minutes they have all departed and as he thinks over what he has seen and heard he can see wherein a few might improve, perhaps a little. Some might cultivate the spirit of cheerfulness to a greater degree and show they are inter- ested in their quest for knowledge. Some might demean themselves in a way more befitting a future school teacher. I-Ie can picture himself, in their actions and expressions, as he is when he is one of them and learn what things are needed in his own case and improve accordingly. Ii. T.

A. of Slippery Rock State Normal School is managed and carried on entirely by students. At present the enrollment of the Association is one hundred twenty-five, this number varies from term to term as students leave school and new ones come in. New officers are elected at the close of each term to carry on the work of the next term. In addition to the officers there are several committees appointed by the president to aid him in the work. These com- mittees choose thc leaders, see to inviting new students to the meetings, and try to secure new members. The regular meetings ofthe Asosciation are held in the Normal Chapel, Sunday evening at six-thirty o'clock. These meetings are conducted by a leader chosen by the Prayer-Meeting Committee. The programs are somewhat varied, thus giving more interest to the meetings. The usual form is for the leader to give out Bible references and clippings to be read and also topics for short talks. But quite often some member of the faculty or person outside of the school is asked to address the society. The music for these meetings is furnished by a student choir of about twenty members who are chosen from the members of the association. This choir practices each Sunday afternoon. A mid-week prayer meeting is held every VVednesday evening at 6:45 olclock and is conducted in a manner somewhat similar to the regular meetings. The purpose of the Association is, To promote an earnest Christian life among our members, to increase their mutual acquaintance, and to make them more useful in the service of Godf, The motto of the Association is, One is Your lVIaster, Even Christ, and all ye are Brethrenf' Our Association has had a very prosperous past, is in a very flourishing condition at present, and all indi- cations point to a successful fl1tll1'C.

They were not made for that purpose. l reshmen while sitting on the benches must keep their feet off the grass. Remember we are preserving the campus. The seats on the campus must not be moved from their.present position unless permission is given by a senior. The opposite sexes are not permitted to mingle on the campus on the Sabbath day. Do not walk three abreast. Some of the Faculty may want to pass you. VVhen there is not much private space left on the campus, hurry to the dorm. Large porches have been provided for completing visits. It is desired that students keep flowers in their rooms. For this purpose beds have been placed on the campus. Get the flowers before they wither. It is very, very improper for a young lady to chew gum in public placesn- on the campus for instance. VVhile hunting for botany specimens on the cam- pus Ul the motto is: Beware of snakes and boys but the one most practiced is to kill the snake and beware of the result if you are caught with your con- fident. If while walking on the campus your 'cgirlv should fall, never help llel' up yourself. Run for Bob.,' VVhile walking on the campus never take a girl by the arm, for this is considered a crime and you shall be dealt with accordingly. Do not loiter around the fountain and disturb the gold fish. All hits are requested to take their its,' out for a little walk at least three times a day. All boys should line up in front of the door and wait for her.', Remember that when the bell rings the farthest way around is the sweetest. A young lady and gentleman are requested, when out walking, to take up all the walk and step very slowly. The people behind need to go still more slowly and enjoy the beauties of nature about them. Since all hits', could not be accommodated on the gym steps the trustees provided a fence near the model school. All students are permitted to sit under the geom- etry and on Saturday nights the boys take dates from the peach tree. Hold hands under The chemistryf' Do not sit o11 the gym steps. The seniors of last year seeing the desire for hard seats provided us with splendid benches nearer the dormitories. Twoing is strongly forbidden but nothing has been said about tri fob ing. Spoon holders are not entirely out of fashion. The Model School provides us with three. Use them. When the first bell rings start for the sun dial. The bell may have rung too.early. Freshmen and Junior hits,' are prohibited from occupying the gym steps except on Sundays. A Ravingn QVVhy I did not Pass Wiiitei' term exams. An episode of Normal Life.j I Once upon a midnight dreary, As I pondered, weark and weary, O,C1' many a quaint and curious Book of half-forgotten lore -- 'Twas the close of winter term And much midnight oil was burned, VVhen there came a curious yapping Not unlike a teacher rapping And this yapping, it proceeded From without my chamber door. IIs Ah, distinctly to my vision IIad the mou1'nful thought arisen, If I'd only concentrated Just about three months befo1'e, Far away I wished the morrow, Wllicli would bring its cup of sorrow. For I felt I'd flunk exams and be An outcast evermore. I rr' Z sixty-fowr V III Ah, it seemed no use of workin' I would flunk for sure and certain, By the seven hack I would depart, I'd return here nevermore. VVhile these thoughts thrilled and filled me VVith a direful foreboding I heard a shriek of anguish From without my chamber door. IV Presently my soul grew stronger. I-Iesitating then no longer, I a1'ose, with trembling fingers I threw wide my bedroom door. Down the hall an object dashing With a howling and a crashing Filled my heart with wild misgivings Like I'd never felt before. V In the hall I stood there fearing, And I looked with wonder fearing, Seeing sights no mortal ever saw In that sacred dorm before. There arose a burst ol' cheering As it went, its bold course stering Straight for our dear preceptress Wleio had come out to explore. VI Startled, with her slumbers broken By our words so loudly spoken, IIe1' unshod pattering footsteps Resoundin g on the floor - She called the wretched creature QBy this time it'd almost reached herj It turned and with a mighty howl It sought the outside door. VII Prophet,,' said l, thing ol' evil, Prophet still, if dog or devil, By the rooi' which bends above us, By the teachers we adore - f W ' lell a soul with sorrow laden Tell' l l' - ' L a leait-sie I wear y maiden Shall I pass the VVinter term exams? It answered Nevermore.,' VIII Be that Omen of our parting, Beast or Iiendn I ehrieked, upstarting 3 Get thee back into the tempest e ni ' .. u on i.n s ore. And the htis Pl t ia h Leave that tin can as a token Oi' that lie which thou hast spoken. Leave my study hour unbroken, Darken not again my door. IX Thus the creature left me lonely And that single word spoke only. So alas! I did not pass exams. And the reason? As oi' yore. In exams your knowledge leaves you, It mocks you, it deceives you, It Hickers fitful through you brain As April sunshine on the Hoor. X So the tin can now is sitting, Never Hitting, still is sitting Un the musty, dusty, rusty ledge Above my bedroom door. And in looks it has a seeming UI' a demon that is dreaming, And the gas light oier it streaming Throws its shadow on the Hoor.

And it came to pass on the eightl1 day of the first month while the diligent pursuers of wisdom sat in the banqueting hall at tl1e feast of potatoes and cabbage, the sky was darkened. 2. Yea even the lights did wane and become dim. 3. And there was a mighty stir in the feasting room. Yea even as the rumble of a thousand chapel bells was it. 41. And they said one to another, Behold what shall we do? But none knew and sighing and sor- rowing filled the air. 5. Then the great ones did rush forth to many lanes and obtain lanterns which were hung high on the lofty walls. 6. Then did the followers of prunes and pie cease their lameutations and did rejoice with exceeding gladness. 0111: lm I I wily night of Darkness , 7. And it came to pass when the banquet had come to an end the voice of tl1e beloved master was heard above the tumult. 8. These were the decrees of the master: No wor- ship shall be held in the vast synagogue for the space of one night. 9. Each apostle ol' preserved fruits shall return to his tent and watch his flaming torch lest the rush of incoming gas lay him low. 10. Ye of powerful stature as Chap of the tribe Gould and Thayer of the tribe of Kelly shall go to l1is several rooms of' learning. But ye of smaller stat- ure shall abide in your tents lest the winds and the tempest dest1'oy you. 11. Then mighty was the lamentation of the sons of Education. Selah. 12. And wise were the virgins who had trimmed their lamps, for dense was the cloud of' darkness' that brooded over the halls. Etiquette of the Dining Room 1. Eat your dinner leisurely and by no means leave before the after-dinner mints. 2. Wlieii drinking liquids from your saucer, such as: juice from peaches, plums, coffee, tea, and cocoa, do so with as little racket as possible. 3. If a piece of cheese should escape from your plate, capture it as quickly as possible, to avoid con- fusion. 4. Begin to eat as soon as you receive your plate, and do not allow yourself to be disturbed by anything that might follow. 5. Leave the table immediately after you are through. 6. If the waitress has omitted tooth-picks, do not be so impolite as to mention it. Use your fork. 7. Freely critisize everything thatls set before you -and do not neglect to remark especially o11 the fine line of hash, prunes, and scrambled eggs. 8. Never eat your pie with a fork. It is exterme- ly vulgar, the accepted style is to use both hands in conveying it to your mouth. 9. When at the teachers' tables, express yourself freely on the happenings of dorms. The teachers like to hear of our innocent pastimes-and derive much pleasure from the recital of the students' merry pranks. 10. Always tuck your napkin in your collar -it saves laundry. 11. If you have trouble in disposing of your feet, wrap them around the chair legs. i One liimdrcrl and seventy-iiim, Private Account of the Editorial Staff Number Oli1llCC'tlIlg'S. .. . . . . .
