Text from Pages 1 - 206 of the 1913 volume:

Preface It has been our purpose to make this Annual a true report of the class of 1913. We have put forth our best efforts to make our work a success, but we realize that it is wanting in many respects. If we have been successful the credit is due not merely to a few. but to the class as a whole, who have stood by us and urged us on to do our best work. We have put in this book the things which we think are especially interesting to our own class, and we hope in the years to come that in reading over our work, pleasant reminiscences of the days at Slippery Rock will be recalled. We wish to thank all those who have in any way aided us in our work, either financially or rhetorically. Being inexperienced we have made many mistakes, which cannot now be remedied, but we feel confident that our readers will be lenient with us. 1 V • 1- • i - W 3 J. H.

Stoops Martha Gangloff 0 1 I History of the School Slippery Rock Slate Normal School began its first term on March 26, 1889, with seven teachers and one hundred and sixty-eight students. The grounds were without grass, trees, or walks and presented a desolate appearance as compared with their present condition. A wooden building on the site of the present Chapel contained, 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 those days, held in a building on New Castle Street. At the beginning of the Spring Term of 1893 the present Main building was used for classes, and the first floor of the Chapel was taken for the use of the Model School. On the morning of May 13. 1893, 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 for the library. During these troublesome 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 students 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 off and. in fact for one year no aid was given by the State, the students being required to pay their own tuition. In consideration of the adoption of a course of study covering three 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, the difficulties through which the institution has passed in order to reach its present state of prosperity. 10 ',1 Student Body on Walk T I ) Albert E.

The time is fast approaching when the Class of 1913 will be but a memory; a memory which we will never forget, and one which we will always recall with pride. In the balmy days of September, 1910, the extraordinary Class of 1913 became a part of S. R. S. N. It was only a short time until we made ourselves conspicuous by our athletics and social positions, which showed that we were not easily set aside. Our record this year was an exceedingly good one, and each member of the class worked in unison with all the others. In the Fall of 1911, we took another step toward our goal, when we took upon ourselves the responsibilities with which a Middler has to deal. This year we attended the jolly Hallowe’en party, also the feast at Thanksgiving; everybody having a swell time at both. In February we honored the Seniors by giving them a banquet, which was enjoyed to the highest extent by both classes. The next event of importance was the play, “The Colonel’s Maid,” given by the Philomathean Literary Society. State Board was the next thing of importance, and everybody gave a sigh of relief when they left. This year we are Seniors and not nearly so dignified as we are supposed to be. for we gave our teams in football, baseball and basket ball genuine support. A feeling of sadness comes over us when we think that a few short weeks of school will end our career here. We are approaching the last steps when we shall all start out upon the great field of life, where each one is for himself. Soon we will lay aside our weather beaten 1913 hats, and the two hundred fifty-eight members of the class of 1913, adorned with hired caps and gowns will pass across the stage and enter the chapel for the last time. It is our sincere hope that each one of us may do his best, that he may be worthy of membership in the class of 1913. 25 Lela Aiken. Slippery Rock. Pa. Philomathean I.cla is of a very happy, care-free disposition. She is the most conscientious class cutter in the school. Her favorite studies are Chemistry and Botany. In spite of many attacks of cupidic. heart trouble, she always manages to remember her great dislike for domestic duties, and as yet has done nothing rash. Penelope Allen, Grove City. Pa. After graduating at Grove City High. Penelope thought Slippery Rock was the proper place to further her education. Her father is a preacher and Penelope possesses all the qualities that any girl might be proud of. Her favorite sport is throwing water. Edna Allison. Lowellville. O. Philomathean Edna is a dark-haired, brown-eyed maiden who came in the fall of 1912 to join our happy band. She is about the “Jolliest Kid in our class and she is loved by all who know her. She tries to give every one the impression that she is going to spend her future life as a school teacher, and that she is heart whole and fancy free, but those who know her think different. Elizabeth Anderson. Connelsville. Pa. Betty is one of the charter members of our class. Although she hails from the smoky coke regions, she is noted for her sunny disposition and brilliancy in German. She possesses an unusually fine voice, and has always been willing to sing when called upon. Since Betty’s first trip to Slippery Rock, she has had a poor opinion of the hack service and now prefers the Coach.” Garnet Anderson, Oil City. Pa. Bryant At the beginning of the spring term of 1912. as the students were waiting for the hack to make its accustomed trip, they saw a small girl step down from the train. As she approached she called out. Is this the hack for Slippery Rock? This was our introduction to Garnet Anderson. Uainet is a bright, cheerful girl and a favorite among her classmates. She is excellent in German and Latin. Winifred J. Anderson. Unity Station. Winifred joined us in our Middle Year. She has shown marked ability along many lines. We feel certain that her steadfastness will win success for her in whatever she attempts. Her kind disposition and attractive manners have won her many friends each of whom join us in saying: The words I'd have I cannot find. I o speak of you what’s in my mind; But this believe, my classmate true. I better am for knowing you. Lola Luf.lla Asher. Ellwood City. Pa. Bryant It requires some hustling to take the Normal course in one year and a few weeks, but Lola is a girl that can do such things. After graduating from Ellwood City High in 1912, she came and took state board with us. She is an unusually good student and especially noted for her excellent recitations in Lit.” Mina Aubf.L. New Castle. Pa. Mina, though seemingly very quiet, has a mind of her own and is not afraid to express it when necessary. She was graduated from the New Castle High School in the class of 1912, but resolved to further her education. For this reason she came to the best Normal School in the State and joined the Class of 1913. As a student she has been very diligent and faithful. Bessie Bailiff. Glenshaw. Pa. Bessie is one of the members of our class, who has been with us during its whole life. She is known throughout the class for her sweet disposition and charming ways. She is a very studious girl but enjoys fun at the right time. When talking with Bessie the conversation on her part is usually. “My Mother.” Ella May Bakf.r. Raymilton. Pa. Bryant Graduate of Irving f ownship High School. Ella, one of our little girls came to us in the fall of 1911. She has proven herself a good student especially in Latin; and has never heard Dr. Hamm say. Why. Miss Baker.” She has a quiet disposition. but has made many friends among the members of her class, who join in wishing her a happy future. Ethel Bakf.r. Sharon. Pa. ''Ethel” hails from Sharon, and she firmly believes that all good people live there; but don't be so impolite as to ask her why. Her favorite pastime is promenading the halls from seven P. M. until 10. Such a thing as worry is clear beyond our Ellhel. She wouldn’t even worry when she got stuck under a bed so light that it had to be removed to secure her release. Alma BaRCHFIELD. Carrick, Pa. Philomathean This fair haired maiden might wrell be called the Giggle-ty” girl, for she never gets a call for anything except laughing. She is a regular attendant of all classes except “Gym” and Psychology. She is especially fond of Watsons, even rooming with one. Zina Barron, Slippery Rock, Pa. Philomathean Zina, a sweet, brown-eyed maiden, is one of the popular girls of our class.

I am so tired. Margarf.t Jean Berg. Covnelsvillc. Pa. Philomathean Emjay has that extreme honor and pleasure of being classed with I hat crazy Connclsvillc bunch She is known to all by her startling brilliancy, her favorite color being Red.

She is very popular in musical circles, and takes a great interest in literary work. Lou BOORE, Chicora, Pa. Lou is the girl that everybody likes as soon as they see her.

She has made a brilliant record in French since she came to Slippery Rock. Flora Sorchert, Canonsburg, Pa. Bryant Flora, better known to us as “Flossie. is one of the quiet girls of our class. Although she wears her hair parted at the side, do not think she is boyish, for Flossie” is not the least bit inclined that way. She is very studious and her greatest ambition is to become a teacher of German in a Normal School. ‘ V Mabel Bouchf.r. Duquesne. Pa. Mabel is one of our Duquesne girls. She is very studious and her motto is “Duty before pleasure. French is her favorite study, but she is brilliant in all her work. She is now writing a book entitled “My Life at Slippery Rock. Ruth Bowser, New Kensington, Pa. Ruth, a modest and unassuming member of our class, is a great favorite of her classmates, and well liked by all the Faculty. She finds a great deal of time to read, and takes more pleasure in reading a good book than being out with the Bunch.” Marion O. Bradford, Crafton. Pa. Philomathcan Marion, one of the pretty blonde girls of our class, came to this “Burg in the Fall of 1911. She has a sweet disposition, and a smile for everybody. Her ability as an artist is shown by her illustrations in the Annual. . Georgia Brf.nneman. New Brighton, Pa. Georgia hails from the vicinity of New Brighton.

When she first came to Slippery Rock, her only thought was of home, but that was partly overcome by the many friends which she made at Normal. She always took an interest in the new “Hits” and felt sorry when the old ones disagreed. She is interested in politics, especially in the duties of the President. Hazel Brown. New Wilmington, Pa. Alter graduating from the New Wilmington High School, Hazel taught school for two years. She then came to Slippery Rock to complete her education as a school marm. It is doubtful whether Hazel will teach school or not for she has quite an interest in a black-haired boy from New Wilmington. Irma Brown. Rochester, Pa. Philomathean Irma is one of the jolliest girls in the dormitory. Many cases of home-sickness and blues have been cured by Irma’s vaudeville stunts, consisting of singing and clogging. Irma is not much concerned about the opposite sex. and pays little attention to any of the S. R. boys. Arietta Bush. Valier. Pa.

She entered school in the Spring of 1912. and was here but a short time before she had a wide circle of friends. She is quick, witty, and cheerful, except when she is homesick, but that soon leaves her and the first thing we know she appears as happy as ever. We can more easily imagine her ruling the hearts of Stone-boro swains, than governing the actions of school children. Ruth CHEESEMAN. Slippery Rock. Pa. —4— Philomathean Ruth is a girl who is everybody's friend. She seems to have radical ideas about the fellows, and yet there arc those mysterious summer flirtations. Her brilliant translations in Trench or Virgil occasionally startle the class, but of course they are not to be compared with her recitations in Chemistry. Lula Mae Clark, West Middlesex, Pa. Mac comes to us from West Middlesex where she was graduated from the high school. She took Junior-Middle two years ago. but spent a year imparting knowledge to the younger tribe before joining our class, in the hall of 1912. She is quiet and industrious and is well liked bv all. Ruby Clark, New Castle, Pa. Bryant Ruby,—and her name suits her for she is a jewel—is a good student and possesses manv sterling qualities.

She is known through the school as a regular Man” hater. Frances Elizabeth Clutton. Slippery Rock, Pa. —4— Bryant The class of 1913 pats itself on the back when it thinks it has Hun as one of its members. Hun is a jolly good girl, possessed with such a spirit for fun that practical jokes of all sorts are both formulated and successfully carried out by her. Formerly her favorite expression was For the love of Pat. now she has changed it to “For the love of Pete. Bertha Cochran, Butler, Pa. Bertha is a graduate of Butler High School. She came to Slippery Rock in the Spring of 1912 and successfully passed the examinations. We will remember her pink cheeks and sparkling eyes. She is Qne of the industrious girls of the class and i� is her ambition to attend college. Olive A. Collins, Cooperstown, Pa. Bryant This fair maiden came to S. R. S. N. during the Spring term of 1912, took the Junior-Middle examinations and entered our class. She was always afraid of exams” but judging from her career here she had no reason to fear. She roomed in the Dormitory during the Fall Term but lor some unknown reason left us at the beginning of the Winter 1 erm and is now. living in town; evidently she does not enjoy Dormitory life, which may be due to the fact that she is used to quiet country life. Nora Conway, Sharpsville. Pa. (i aduate of Sharpsville High. Nora came to us in the Spring of 1912 and took upon herself the duties of a Junior-Middler. She’s following in the footsteps of her sister in that she is a very diligent student taking an exceptional interest in French. Her favorite pastime seems to be eating apples and talking.

During the hall term of her Senior Year, she suddenly took a particular interest in the Ffeavens and every evening after bells she could be seen in a window of the third lower studying the stars. But this passed by and Marion having made several New Year’s Resolutions, spent most of her time in the Library or in her room with a good book for a companion. Luella Crawford. Mars. Pa. Bryant “Wellar” is that little light-haired girl that can be seen chasing over the campus all day and through the halls all night. Her hobby is reading German, and eating.

Margaret always observes study period, and works diligently at her lessons. She experts to spend the greater part of her life as a teacher. Marjorie E. Cummings, Connelsville, Pa. Did you ever hear any one singing the praises of Connelsville? I hat was Madge, the smallest, but the most loyal of the Secville” bunch. To describe Madge and do her justice would fill a book. Her greatest achievement is getting up for 7:45 class, and her greatest ambition is to become a second Jane Addams. She' appreciates a good joke, and her laugh is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Mary A. Cummings. New Wilmington. Pa. Mary is a graduate of New Wilmington High School. She is one of our best students in class but enjoys fun at the proper time. She visited many schools before deciding that Slippery Rock was the “Best Ever. but at length she was convinced and decided to finish with us. Anna Davis. Farrcl. Pa. Philomathean. We got a valuable addition to our class in Anna Davis. Anna spent two years in teaching after graduating from High School, but decided that she would further equip herself for the profession. so she came to S. R. S. N. Anna is a brilliant student and has won many friends by her winsome ways. Her favorite expression is. . “Has anybody here seen Kelly? Katherine Davis. New Wilmington. Pa. Graduate of New Wilmington High. Katherine, better known to us as “Katty. joined us in the Fall of 11. She is considered one of the best and quietest girls of the dorm. Her lessons never seem to bother her in the least, and she shines in all of her classes. I here seems to be a great question in her mind. Which one she shall choose. Her favorite saying is “Gosh, kids. I’m hungry. MAYBELLE DeNNISTON. Volant. Pa. Mabclle hails from Volant. She is a very quiet, dignified young lady who applies herself diligently to digging out Physics and I rig. Her least trouble while she has been with us. has been the boys. Kate Dewey, Pcnnside. Pa. Bryant V hen we hear a person speak of Kate, we do not ask “Kate who ? for we always know Kate Dewey is meant. She is one of the most popular girls in the Senior Class. Kate is an excellent reader and many an evening she entertains the girls, who gather in her room to hear her recite. She surely is some cheer leader. When she begins cheering it is up to every one to begin cheering too. We feel that Kate will be among the best as a teacher. t i � Mary Dixon, Enon Valliy, Pa.

Died December 16. 1912 91 CLASS PROPHECY. The early June sunlight had just touched the top of St. Patrick’s, and the big clock on T rinity was sounding the last stroke of six when we left the dining room and stepped into the adjoining studio. “How perfectly delightful.” cried I. looking from the orderly confusion of paints and brushes in one corner of the room to the half finished portrait on the easel, about which Sara fluttered in pretty impatience to be at work. “And ten years ago I never dreamed that I should stand thus in admiration on the threshold of the studio of the Misses Scott, the most famous artists of the century—Lila dear, surely I know the face on that long canvas—Who?—Oh. Ethel Limberg, of course, and prettier than ever!” “Yes,” assented Lila. The portrait is a gift to her husband. When I think that it will occupy a place among those of his aristocratic family, I wish it were better. “She knows it’s a masterpiece,” broke in Sara. Ethel, you know,” explained Lila, “is now countess.” A shadow thrown across the room drew our attention from the portrait to the window. A gentleman wishing a picture, mam-selle,” surmised the little French assistant, “he rich mans always come that way thru the sky on their boats with wings. “Girls, come here!” cried Sara from the door-way that opened on the wide aero-wharf where a dozen machines fluttered their white sails. “Come here quick! I do believe that this newcomer is Lawrence French. Lawrence French it was, dropped down—literally from nowhere to pay a morning call to his one time classmates, and a Lawrence French who was not to be denied when he proposed that we three step into his aero-plane and circle the world with him to locate our Slippery Rock classmates. We will be back here by night, he said, when my hostess objected on the plea of business, and a holiday will make your next portraits wonders. You’ll find Bill Kerr, Duffy and Peters. Ruth Krohn, Betty Work, and Euphcmia Watson Unger on board, so come along. 02 “But where’s Ruth?” we cried when after a happy reunion on board the Mary Lu” and an inspection of the winged houseboat, we became aware of the lady’s absence. French laughed a little ruefully, (we thought) — For ten years he said. “I’ve been explaining that that was one of my Normal Bluffs. Really, people seemed to take me seriously sometimes. Half an hour later we were skimming through the smoky air above New York, our conversation divided between the scenery and reminiscences of Slippery Rock. Suddenly the machine shot downward and hovered over a great crowd upon a prominent street corner. On looking down to see the cause of a blockade of traffic at such a place, we beheld Kate Dewey garbed in Salvation Army costume and standing upon an impromptu platform, with arms flung wide and voice aery, Everybody in on the chorus! Now— Help the poor, help the poor to S-s-slip into heaven! Right around the next corner. said Duffy, “is the swell new gymnasium that Mayor Wingard built for the city. D. O. Kerr has charge of the whole building—janitor, you know—and Cliff Kimc is Chief Physical Director. I’ve heard, said Ruth, that the outside teams—you know what I mean, athletes from other cities—object to the referees up here.” “We’ll just drop down and see, answered French, suiting the action to the word, and we entered the big building just in time for a spring basket ball game between the New York Giantesses, captained by E. Hoffman, and the Blue Pumps managed by Gertie Cooper, with Parks Banks referee. Incidentally the game proved that Ruth’s hearing was correct, for the Pumps did object; but for once Banks escapecT luckily for. to our immense relief. Gertie slapped him only, and Goodness knows what she might have done, muttered Parks. We left New York for Chicago, at once, stopping in a small town near Pittsburg only long enough to drop a dime into the pocket of Joe Martin, whom we saw digging a ditch, and who answered our inquiries with, Oh, still digging! Got the habit at Normal, you know. In Chicago, to the disgust of the boys, we girls insisted on going shopping through the Jolly Bachelor Maids Department Store. Here we found Marjorie Cummings in charge of the hair dressing establishment, Dorothy 93 Schmunk. expert manicurist, Irma Brown, sales-lady in the shoe department, Venette Hassler, at the glove counter. Pearl Nicklas, furrier, Sarrah Gallagher milliner, and in every cash girl we recognized old classmates. Garnet Anderson, Zora Smith. Chess Powers. Mildred Marshal, Marguerite Hogue; Amanda Yoho; Mildred Roberts and Nora Conway. At the lunch counter we were served by white capped Mary Hatton, Ethel Baker, Gertrude Mack and Mary Wilson; the latter whispered that all the dainty tidbits which we were given, were devised down in the kitchen by M. J. Berg and Winifred Anderson, and cooked by Pearl Wylie and ’Rete Lytle, and given their exquisite coloring by Marion Craig. Before we left we were persuaded to buy a phonograph and one thousand records by the glorious rendering of popular songs in the music room by Elizabeth Anderson, Ruby Clark. Edith Morton, Arietta Bush, Lena Winer and Hannah Hockenberry. A terrible storm, soon after drove us from our course and when we finally got our bearings we found we were directly above Washington. D. C. We were surprised to find the capital city in a state of great excitement. Enquiry brought the information that presidentess Mary Cummings was having great trouble with the House of Representatives. Congress-woman Crete Powers of Pennsylvania, it appeared, had recently introduced a bill proposing that, whereas the ‘‘complexions of nine-tenths of the members of Congress rebelled against bright adornment of any sort, the militant red and gold banners of the suffragette administration should be changed to blue and brown. Congress-woman E. Thompson had vigorously opposed the bill in a most bitter speech, and now the fifth week of the sixth session of Congress found the busy city divided against itself, the redgolds and bluebrowns vieing against each other in making mean speeeches and ugly faces. Just as we sailed over the White House, Secretary of State E. Marshall came to the back door and called across to the office ot the War Secretary. For the Suffragette administration had moved the capital buildings near enough together that the higher powers might converse conveniently from their back dooryards— Sara. Sara, oh, Sara Gibson, do send down to the Grace Gardner Building for Attorney McArthur and to headquarters for Chief of Police Brocklehurst. A letter has just come from that old back-number, Woodrow Wilson, and we don’t know whether to examine it as a national curio or investigate it as evidence of crime. Oh. these horrid, horrid men! 94 We dropped down to the steps of the Library of Congress to speak to a man who hailed us lustily. Bent, old. and crabbed, we scarcely recognized our Hunt. “Yes,” said he, “It is I—I, a graduate of Slippery Rock, Grove City, Harvard and Oxford, and know nothing—absolutely nothing. “Oh Albert, cried Lila, any one at Normal could have told you that ten years ago. “You just missed seeing Cooper. we were told by Angus Armstrong, whom we found editing a big daily in Cincinnati. He just left a moment ago. Coop, you know, is filling the chair of Philosophy at Leland Stanford University. Filling it, cried I, how funny. You wouldn’t think it funny, if you could see Coop, answered Angus. In Des Moines we found Luella Crawford in charge of a street cleaning brigade, and in Yellowstone Park, we saw Jimmy Neathercoat leaping and splashing as of yore, but now in front of a monkey cage, teaching the little monkeys how to act funny by the art of imitation. While in San Francisco, French purchased for us several Western Magazines to liven the two hours sail across the Pacific. The boys became very much interested in a scries of articles by Flarry Miller, entitled: “A Life of Near Crime: The Girls I Might Have Married and Didn’t. Fuphemia found an advertisement that read: “Summer Trips to Italy, Tyrol, France and Dalmatia. The Misses Leoffler, 419 Johns Ct., Los Angeles. Among the magazines was a catalogue of the Sliding Stone Normal School. Listed among the faculty were: Ida Schaeffer Robinson..........................Preceptress M. McClymonds ............................. Mathematics L. Murphy ........................................ History H. Moore ........................................ Science A. Stewart .......................... Supt. Model School E. Kerr ......................................... Elocution M. McGlaughlin ................................. Athletics A. Vincent........................................Librarian 95 The pleasure of our visit to Manila was marred somewhat by a sad accident that happened to Billy Kerr. While leaning over the railing to read a great placard that announced the arrival in the city of the World’s Heavy Weight Champion, Carl Simmons, he fell out of the machine and was severely injured. We took him to the nearest hospital, where we were overjoyed to leave him in the care of Dr. Stanley Graham and nurse Frances Clutton. We dropped down to the land of Cherry Blossoms for three o’clock tea in a charming tea house. The luncheon was doubly delightful because served by kimonoid Nevada Hoover. Freda Foulk. and Hazel Heasley, who told us that the wonderful climate and the quaint people so fascinated them that they had given up school teaching for this life. Near Tokio we passed over a silk worm grove tended by May Lewis, Laura Sloan, Anna Davis and Laura Shaw. In China we found Bert Stoops, Homer Roberts, and Herman Walters in charge of a company of Chinamen building a railroad around the long wall for the benefit of tourists. High up in the Himalayas we encountered a party of mountain climbers, whose leader, just as we caught sight of them, was in the act of slipping along a rope let down over the side of the yawning abyss to rescue a companion who had fallen. As we hovered above them we heard him call out. ‘‘Hold on a minute longer Mellon. Let the rope slacken a little up there Chalmer, now pull—Ready!” Within fifteen minutes, we had alighted on the edge of the precipice and were talking with the rescued Smail, the rescuer Zedaker and their party of daring companions. Miner, Watson, Mark, and their wives whom we had known as Elizabeth Donaldson, Marthy Gangloff, Ethel Kennedy. Alma Barchfield and Lyda Wright. Twilight was fast gathering as we sailed over the continent, and it was but dimly that we saw the countries over which we passed, but from away down in the wilds of the Punjab, we heard Lawrence Helman’s voice preaching to the Indian Natives. As we floated over Florence we heard the merry laughter of American tourists among whom we distinguished Harry Taylor. Edith Harris, Clara McAdoo, Cora Lovell, Penelope Allen, Addella Bly- 96 holder, Alta HofTmaster and Francis Glenn, and from a sleepy little town near Madrid, there floated up to us Earl Stoop’s voice in a dreamy serenade. In the cool darkness, lighted only by a few stars in a clouded sky and lights of passing machines, we hastened over the busy hum of London and the soft sobbing of the Atlantic and reached New York at the hour when the metropolis is busiest and gayest. When we had bidden farewell to our fellow travelers and had re-entered the studio, the little French maid brought to Lila two conventional bits of pasteboard with this remark, “Ze visitors came at noon and said they will wait.” One card was inscribed: R. Byers, Ph. D., D. D„ Cambridge University. on the other: Chas. Hutchinson, P. D., Slippery Rock Normal. H.

Although the Class of 1914 was not organized until January, 1913, it was in existence before that time. We, and the other students just then awakened to the fact of our existence. Some of us have come all the way from Freshmen to Juniors, others passed a year as Sophomores, but the majority entered the Junior Class from High Schools. The fact that we did not all enter Normal at the same time, and that we were organized so late does not detract from the unity of the class. There are only thirty of us, but what we lack in numbers we make up in intimacy. Each member of the class is an intimate friend of every other member, and wc work together with unity and cordiality. The members of the class have been taking active interest in literary work and athletics. We have every variety of good students, and absolutely no poor ones. Some show remarkable ability in mathematics, some are proficient in languages, and still others have a great “affinity” for Chemistry. Some of our members are accomplished musicians, and others have delivered debates, essays, and orations in society. The class is bound to bring honor to the Normal School for it contains members who are here for work, and who expect to make good use of the education they are receiving at Slippery Rock. 101 FRESHMEN. Under this head we class all students except Seniors and Juniors. They are a vast bunch, about three hundred in number when quiet, and make enough noise for a thousand when excited. Were it not for their elders keeping hold of the whip they would not be tolerated, for they are a wild bunch once they get started. Many are the beds that are tossed up on account of their misbehavior. Many are the angry words which flow from the lips of the teachers on account of their inactivity. Many are the peaceful hours of sleep that are lost by the professors on account of their desire to keep lights in order to study their Spelling and School Man. Many are the mattresses which have been carried over to the Gymnasium on account of their not being able to clearly comprehend the meaning of the signs on the bulletin board. After three months we have succeeded in getting a picture of a typical Freshman, whose picture you have just passed. When these cubs annoy us too much and become too boisterous, we merely immerse them in the tub and this sure does lower their dignity for the remainder of the year. But what would a school amount to without the Freshmen? We couldn’t get along without them and we can’t get along with them. 104 Music Hall MUSIC. 7 he people of every nationality on the globe enjoy hearing certain sounds produced in certain ways and in some sort of rhythm. The sounds, methods of production, and the time may be entirely different in the various localities, but it is all summed up in one word, music.” That which is considered good in one place, may grate on the ears of the people in another locality and vice versa, but still it is music. So it has come to be an accepted fact that one’s education is not complete until some musical talent has been developed. The opportunity to acquire this knowledge is an exceptional one in Slippery Rock. Music, both instrumental and vocal is the feature of the programs given in the Literary Societies. The Chorus rehearses faithfully each week to produce something worth while. This year the Cantata of Daniel was given by the chorus, and it was one of the leading events of the year. 7 he principal parts were taken by the Seniors, and they showed marked ability by their performance. Besides the chorus, there are two Glee Clubs and a Mandolin Club connected with this department. These clubs are worthy of mention and should be encouraged by all. The Vocal Department is in charge of Lyman S. Leason, who is one of the noted educators in this line. Miss Imel Beach, a graduate of the Institute of Musical Art, New York City, has charge of the Instrumental Department. 107 The Girls’ Glee Club. The Girls’ Glee Club, which was organized by some of the enthusiastic musical girls of our class, was a source of plesaure and benefit to all who took part throughout the Senior year. The meetings were held in the Music Hall on Tuesday evenings at 4:15. They were usually well attended and great interest was shown in the work. The members will not soon forget the happy periods spent there. The Club frequently responded to the invitations of the Literary Societies to perform on their programs. Prof. Leason, to whom we are indebted for his valuable assistance, and kindly interests, directed the Clib. 108 Senior Boys’ Glee Club. The Boys’ Glee Club was organized by the Senior boys during the first part of the Winter Term. Prof. L. Leason kindly consented to act as direc- or with Miss Rosenberry at the piano. The number in the Club is small but they make up in quality for lack of quantity. The Club has not appeared in public but the surrounding dormitories have received full benefit of their melodious voices. This Glee Club has shown that the Class of 13 is capable of accomplishing great things. Pianist. Miss Inez Rosenberry; director. Prof. L.

The Mandolin Club was organized by Prof. Snyder at the beginning of the fall term with a quota of eleven people, the majority being Seniors. Prof. Snyder was unanimously chosen director and the Club has prospered under his guidance. Miss Beech kindly consented to act as pianist and has greatly assisted the club. Practice is held one night each week. The club has furnished music for several entertainments and at various times for the two Literary Societies. This is the first year that any such musical organization ever existed in the school, and so greater things may be expected of the Mandolin Club in the coming years.

'Twas Thursday night at a quarter ol seven When the halls were as still as a corridor of heaven. When up through the halls walked our fair friend Ben With a basket of apples for I IU. Then out of the room sprang the girls in a hurry To see a man. there was such a scurry. Soon through the halls there was heard such a sound That up the stairs came Miss R. with a bound. To subdue the tempest, she seized the man. And into the rooms all the girlies ran. And I in my bathrobe and you in your kim. Stuck out our heads for a last look at him.

What a story strange and sad it seems to tell. When I wake up in the morning just a little after seven. Wholly scared. And I know that I must answer to my name upon the roll. ’’Unprepared.’’ Oh what notes of gloom and sorrow seem to come from out that tower, As they call me to the lecture in the early morning hour! Oh. that bell! Normal bell! Oh, the clanging of that early morning bell! For it drives me nearly crazy. As I think that I must pass Through the siege of Mathematics. Or perhaps the German class. For three-quarters of an hour. Oh, the clanging and the roaring and the clashing of that bell. That early morning Normal bell! Hear the ringing of the bells. Normal bells! What a message soft and sweet It seems to tell. As it calls us from the class-room. With its burdens and its cares. To meet in one great body For the early morning prayers. Glorious bell! Chapel bell! What a spirit of contentment in its swell. How our Normal spirit rises whene’er we hear it ring. And after chapel’s over, on the steps we meet and sing The Alma Mater. Or perhaps the S-s-sli.” or the ’’’13” loudly yell. Just in answer to the pealings of that bell. 113 “US GUYS. We all just seem like brothers, and never do we fight; We only take the handiest thing and hit with all our might. We all plan the greenies downfall, from lifting to bed-ticks; And initiate all into the mysteries of getting out of a fix. We are all accomplished fellows, from Big Joe down to Moats; We can sing or dance, come out of a trance, anything to save our oats. There is Jim. Hutch, and Bud; Peterle. Parks and Fred; All are accomplished fellows at the art of raising the dead. The Profs go leaping and slashing. Shoemaker, Pitt, and Ruff; They insist that we be dignified, and quit our acting so tough. We are all studious fellows, we study all the time; We study why the moon is green and who invented rhyme. We study the art of ducking, and art called History of Ed. We indulge in physical culture, and learn just how from Zed. But soon we will be parting, each to go his own way. But we shall ne’er forget our school at any future day. LEST WE FORGET. Days we have dreaded from of old. Days of exams, so dark and drear; ’Tis now the students however bold. Work trembling with a strange new fear. And cramming say with teeth firm set. Lest we forget, lest we forget. The boasting and the vaunting dies. As memory rapidly departs; The students gather silently With terror in their failing hearts And still repeat with wild regret; Lest we forget, lest we forget. « Old Philomathean Hall. BRYANT LITERARY SOCIETY. When the Normal School first started on March twenty-sixth, eighteen eighty-nine, the only literary work carried on at this time was by an organization of the young men. At the beginning of the Spring term of the same year Professor Ricketts called a meeting of the students to see if a literary society could not be formed. This was the beginning of the Bryant Literary Society, which was in charge of both the young men and young women. The Bryant Literary soon grew too large and another society was started. It was called the Neotrophian. Soon after the Neotrophian and the Irving Debating Club joined and formed the Philomathean Society. From that time on until this last year the meetings were held in the two society halls, but they are now held in the chapel. The members of the Bryant Society always try to make it the very best and during the past have accomplished a great deal. Some of the important programs of the year were the debates and plays. Besides the regular programs the Societies always give a play, alternately, every year. This will also be remembered in the Bryant Literary work this year. The motto of the society is “Altiora Quaeruimus, which means, We Strive Higher.” The motto has always been carried out, not only by the society as a whole, but by each individual. It is hoped that the motto of the society will always be Altiora Quaeruimus. 117 PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY. Colors—Orange and Black. MOTTO—“Labor Fructum Fert.” For a short time after Slippery Rock State Normal opened her doors to students, no literary work of any kind was carried on within the school. But finally the young men of the school, recognizing the need of literary work, organized a debating club. The girls of the school were not allowed to become members of this debating club, and, therefore, had no part in the literary work of the school. Soon the Faculty recognized the fact that the girls needed training along literary lines, as well as the boys, and a meeting was held in the spring of 1889 for the purpose of organizing a society for both boys and girls. The meeting was in charge of Professor Ricketts, who made the proposition, that a new society be organized and be joined with the Irving Debating Club. The debating club turned down this proposition. Then at a Faculty meeting, it was decided to start an independent organization, which was known as the Bryant Literary Society. In the fall term of 1889, a new society was organized which was known as the Netrophian Literary Society. For a period of five years the Normal School labored on, under the burden of three societies. As a result none of the societies became strong. The Debating Club disbanded and its members joined the Netrophian’s, which after this was known as the Philomathean Literary Society. When the Philos, were first organized they held their meetings at three-thirty Saturday afternoon in the Main Building, while the Bryants held theirs in the old Chapel. I ater the Bo-ird of Trustees gave the societies two halls in the main building in which to hold their meetings. Owing to the large increase in the school in 1913, the halls were taken again by the trustees and converted into classrooms. This forced the societies to hold their performances in the Chapel, and as only one program could be carried out at once, the Philos, and Bryants alternated their meetings, the Philos one night and the Bryants the next. During the latter part of the fall term it was decided to give a reception, for the new students, or what is perhaps better known as “a feed. The “feed” was a great success and was well attended. By this “feed” the Philos, secured thirty-five new members, which was a decided step in building up the society. 118 FOOTBALL.

In the fall of 1912, when “Coach” Snyder issued a call for volunteers, about fifty “Hopefuls” were desirous of kicking the “Pigskin. Byers, Balias, French, Hunt, and Kerr were the only survivors of the 1911 squad. By strenuous training the candidates were transformed into what seemed to be a winning team. The season opened by a game with Sharpsville High, but they were no match for the S. R. boys. The score was 41 to 0 in favor of Slippery Rock. About two weeks after the first victory. Geneva College faced our boys and Normal had another game to its credit, the final score being 40 to 0. The Normal boys next journeyed to Greenville, where they defeated Thiel College by the score of 6 to 0. Scarry and Kauffold starred for S. R. in this game. The New' Kensington Scholastics journeyed over to Slippery Rock a few days later and won by the score of 6 to 0. Scarry w-as badly injured in this game, and compelled to stay out for the remainder of the season. On i 125 + I October 28 the boys Went to Indiana and received their second and last defeat by the score of 54 to 0. Aroused by this defeat, the team seemed to take greater interest in the game and were growing stronger as the season neared the close. Thiel College was held down to the tune of 0 to 0. The Varsity ended the season by defeating Beaver Falls High School, their bitter rival, by a score of 40 to 0. This was considered a great victory because they had beaten S. R. for three consecutive years. I he following Seniors received sweaters, Kerr, Byers, French. Wing-ard, Hunt, Miller. 126 BASKET- BALL BASKET BALL REVIEW. In order to have a longer schedule for baseball, the basket ball schedule was very short, but in these few games the Normal team showed its superiority and the students their spirit. The season opened with College Hill on Thanksgiving and resulted in a victory for the Normal. The Normal did not again have an opportunity to show its strength, until the beginning of the Winter term, when they faced New Wilmington and again came out victorious. The next game was with Butler High School, and ended in a victory for the Normal, but a few days later they journeyed to Butler, and because of adverse conditions, the game was lost. On January 24. Bethany College suffered defeat at the hands of our boys. The next game was one of the best of the season in which Geneva College was defeated, but it required two extra periods to do it. The next game was the best of the season, as the Normal boys met their bitter rivals, Grove City, and defeated them by a close margin, but this defeat was offset by the defeat of our boys a few days later at Grove City. Then came the only game in which our boys lost at home, being defeated by Hiram College by a very close score. The Waynes-burgh game proved an easy victory for Normal. The season ended with the Edinboro games, one being played at Edinboro, the other here, but both proved to be victorious for Normal. The Basket Ball League was organized the latter part of the Fall term and a few of the games played before spending our Christmas vacation. I wo complete schedules were played, and, to each member of the winning team was awarded a cushion. The league proved to be a great success. Basket Ball Schedule. S. R. Opp. S. N.

A long and hard schedule has been prepared for the boys who will represent Normal at Baseball. We all look forward to a very successful season, as we have a few of last year’s fast men, and many others who have entered school since. The two Grove City games will be the most important of the year, in which we hope to prove victors. The pitching staff looks strong in practice, but as this goes to the press before they have been able to show their strength, we only hope that it will prove as it now looks. Schedule.

The Physical Education Department is a very valuable asset to any school, and no one can more appreciate the significance of this than the one who is physically defective. There is one thing in life which is a priceless jewel, and that is health. Though a person has countless riches yet if he lacks health, he is a burden to others as well as to himself. It is easy to keep in health, if you have a well built body and a strong constitution. And it is every person’s duty to take good care of his health, and woe to the man who breaks nature’s laws, for he sins not alone against himself, but also against his creator and will inevitably perish physically. We must all conform to the laws of nature and as soon as we break nature’s laws, punishment will follow. Good health may be had by exercising the body regularly, and for this purpose the schools are now building and equipping gymnasiums. Our gymnasium is one of the best equipped in the state, well lighted, heated and ventilated. This department is ably superintended by Prof. D. C. McLaughlin, who is one of the most noted instructors along this line. In the classes. German, Swedish and American gymnastics are taught. Each student is required to take this work twice a week. Special attention is paid to school room gymnastics so that the students may not only derive benefit for themselves, but be in a position to teach calisthenic drills in the school room or on the play-ground. 136 CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY. The Christian Endeavor Society is one of the most helpful organizations outside of the regular class work. It is conducted entirely by the students and consequently its success is due to their earnest efforts. The officers of the society are President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Pianist and Assistant Pianist; these being elected at the end of each term for the following term. The committees necessary for the work of the society arc appointed by the President. Hie meetings are held every Sabbath evening in the Chapel at 6:30. They are conducted by a leader chosen from the members. The program for the meetings, varies each evening, as different leaders use different plans. Quite often a member of the faculty, one of the town ministers, or some visiting missionary gives the society a helpful talk and this tends to keep up great interest in the work. In connection with the Christian Endeavor Society, the Wednesday evening prayer meeting is conducted, in much the same way. The Sabbath School lesson for the following Sabbath is used as the prayer meeting topic. This makes the gatherings both interesting and beneficial. The membership of the organization varies from term to term, ranging from seventy-five to one hundred. The society pays a small sum to missionaries each year, besides bearing its own expenses. 1913 has been a very helpful year in the Christian Endeavor work and it is the sincere wish of the class of 13 that the Society may continue its success and be more helpful in the years to come. 137 VI Le Salon Francais was organized January 23, 1913. in Bryant Hall, and officers were chosen as follows: President..............................Miss Rhuama Vincent Vice President................................

One of Prof. Hamm’s Continued Stories on Pussy Foot Pete. “An’ yer chucked dem dere poipers in de river, huh? said the woman to the man. after she had recovered her composure. Uh Huh. said he as he released his hold on her. stood down in his chair, shoved his pockets deep into his hands, stretched out the table under his legs and regarded her from under his bushy eyes with his cruel brows, while his teeth parted in a smirk which bared his savage lips. The woman stood where she sat, but said nothing and continued. The man grew boisterously silent, then she began to laugh ‘Ha. Ha. Ha. so you foiled you have thought me’ she cried out smilingly. ’But.’ she continued, you not have, for I have the key to the river and I know where the lock is. Ha, Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. -------------- Hee. Hee.’ ' Just then Joe and Reardon burst forth with great exuberance of lamentations and were snouzzled on the spot.

I he School Football Team nosed out a hard fought victory against Theil College at Greenville. Pa. On their return that night the majority of the members of the Faculty who reside in the South Hall having sneaked away to some uncouth dance in a questionable part of town, the building was left to the mercy of a wild ungovernable mob. Suddenly, by the lights being turned off, the old Flail which a moment before had been silent and peaceful, was transformed into a miniature French Revolution.” A tremendous roar arose and a forest of half clad human beings struggled through the halls. No swords, no knives, no guns, but pumpkins and pieces of pumpkins, turnips and other deadly weapons filled the air. The shrieks of the wounded, the roar of the water running over the bulletin board from the hydrant onto the floor and down the hall was terrible. This aroused the sole remainder of the Dormitory guard (Count Boni DeCastcline) who after a hasty glance at the human inferno, retreated to his citadel and barricaded himself within. The raging tide advances to the attack but a loud cry of Jigger, the Bull”! rings out in the night and the advancing body halts, wavers a minute and vanished into the darkness. Scarcely had the bitter feeling aroused by the storming of the Citadel subsided when the Dormitory was again thrown into an uproar by a deed almost as outrageous as the first. A youth who dared to voice a protest against a time honored institution was seized by a husky young giant and with the aid of willing hands was violently submerged in the icy depths of the second floor b th tub. A period of intense anxiety ensues but the matter is finally adjusted in a manner satisfactory at least to the majority of those directly concerned in the affair. Sunday. April 6th. 1913 was the date of another memorable occasion. Frederick Livingood in James Nethercoat’s Sanctum was engaged in the diverting pastime of frightening Freshies by indulging in a series of fits. Freddie who is a past master in the art of imitating fits of all breeds, became so realistic in his performance that our worthy classmate W. Leonard Zedaker became alarmed and rushed out to obtain the aid and counsel of Prof. Ruff. 156 1 he treatment prescribed by Prof. Ru(f was so effective that Freddie fearing that he would be thrown into a bona fide fit. quickly recovered. Question— whom was the joke on? On Sunday, a short time before Christmas vacation, a medium sized hungry looking canine was found in South Hall. The spirit of Christmas giving being extremely prevalent, some of the Senior boys were struck with the idea of making a gift of the cur. After decorating him with red ribbons, red cross stamps and merry Christmas signs, the hound was gently tethered to Prof. Pittenger’s door. Misses Stewart and Bingham discovering the gift a little later and fearing that the dog was in misery, freed it of the ribbons. Prof. Pitttengcr returned the dog with his compliments but kept the red ribbons for a necktie. Dorm Life in 13. The most important factor in “dorm life anywhere is the preceptress. Ours is one who no matter how old we may grow we can never forget. Her gentle warning cough is the preserver of the Wicked Ones. When study hours begin all good girls are in their rooms studying. They retire promptly at ten. make absolutely no disturbance and wish their room mate a cheerful good night even if she has planted herself in the middle of the bed and monopolized three-fourths of the covers. But not so with the “Wicked Ones. All study hour is spent in at least three different ways, preparing for a feed, laboring energetically so as not to have to do a half hour’s study, or in visiting their friends with whom they discuss all S. R. cases, hits, and scandals. Many are the thrilling episodes that have been calmly executed in these old walls. How often has Miss Tilman gently extricated our Seniors from the depths of a two bv four clothes press, not wardrobe! Permit me to digress a moment and state by wav of explanation that a botany press is to press botanv specimens, a clothes press is to press clothes—and it does! As to the events leading up to the operation of clothes press extricating in study hour, you have some interesting thing which you simolv must relate— you steal from your room—anxiously you glance up and down the spacious corridors—none of the Mightv Ones” a� -e in si ?bt—with bated breath and beating heart you rush—nay you flv to the door of that dear friend—close it and lock it securely behind you. You discuss this point but as the interest increases I am sorry to say. also does the voice and in a few moments comes a tapping tapping at the chamber door. You glance wildly round, an agonizing fear fills your bosom and you stcalthilv enter the clothes press, upsetting the broom and dust pan in the performance. The intruder enters and with a glance withers the two terrror stricken girls, marches boldly to the clothes press and seizes you. Next comes the sentence—“You may report to Miss Robinson and you leave the room—disgraced for life. Another point. The fitting and proper time for feasts is anywhere from eleven o’clock P. M. till five A. M. At one of these you are supposed 158 to eat more than you can in less time than you can. After such an interesting affair, should you the next day doze off in class, just remark to the teacher as you pass out—“So sleepy, I got up a little too early so that I might study this morning. But before doing this, set your face in the expression of a martyr. This will guarantee at least 95% if not more. One night will never be forgotten. One of our Alumnae came back and sang songs to the faculty. For which they verily worshipped her and gave her much of eats. (Feeding themselves at the same time.) This necessitate:! that each one be on the job at the same time, to see that they got as much as the one to right and while our dear teachers ate we enjoyed ourselves. Out in the hall there were dances, games, yea even leap frog. The latter was especially enjoyed by the Seniors. Late it was when the “Faters retired but later when the “Wicked Ones” followed. One more thing and I cease. The Rough House Process. This is in reality the most important of all, but very simply done. Enter a room in which all occupants are elsewhere and snatch the bed clothes, spreading them daintily over the floor. Gently upset all chairs. Place all ornaments on the floor. But do not leave a card. Such compliments are returned and woe be to you, should you be discovered. 159 THE MARRIED MEN’S CLUB. An organization for the furtherance and propagation of the Rooseveltian theory of anti-race suicide. SYMBOL—Deep Scarlet Heart, pierced by Solid Gold Arrow. Motto—“I’ve got a sweetheart too.” TENETS. Be it understood that we. the undersigned members of the aforesaid club, have sworn, promised and bound themselves before Cupid’s Altar, to uphold the following tenets, to-wit: 1. It is not good for man to be alone. 2. No man should let his Normal course interfere with matrimonial affairs. 3. Men in Normal should use their influence to overthrow the prevalent theory that Normal-bred men and women are not good home-makers. To show our loyalty to the cause and our firmness in the belief that we are on the royal road to happiness, we have pledged ourselves under oath that the last one of us to embark upon matrimony’s blissful sea shall pay to each brother as a penalty for his slothfulness, a sum equivalent to that brother’s wedding expenses.

Mr. Frank Duffy, of Pittsburg, Pa. says; “Drinking beer affected my liver and when I began using Swamp Root I was in a mighty bad way, looked sick and felt awful. Every time I took a drink I felt a swift penetrating pain in my liver, but since I took Swamp Root I can eat more than any ten men, and drink my glass of beer without any ill effect.” Harry Miller, of Hnrrisville, Pa., writes us the following testimonial: It gives me unbounded pleasure to state that Swamp Root has worked wonders in my case, and I shall always bless the day I bought a bottle of the same for I was in a deplorable condition. I was so nervous and irritable from excessive study that I could not sleep at night. For two weeks I didn’t sleep more than one hour in twenty-four, and was wasting away like ice in the sun. In desperation I went to the Drug Store and was advised to take Swamp Root. I have taken ten bottles now, and I am once more the joy of our home. I assure you I can never thank you enough for your great medicine. My DeapMrs. Pinkham:—“It is but just to you that I acknowledge with thanks the great benefit I have received from your Vegetable Compound. Two years ago, when I wrote to you. telling you of my symptoms, I was a complete wreck. You answered my letter and advised me to use your Vegetable Compound, and in a very short time my skin lost its sallow hue. the dark coating on my tongue disappeared, and my breath no longer had a bad odor. Dear Mrs. Pinkham, my heart is full of thanks and gratitude, and it shall always be my aim in life to send suffering humanity with their ills to you. In restoring health and vigor to jaded nerves, your Vegetable Compound has no equal. Gratefully yours, Joseph Martin, Webster, Pa. “Gentlemen:—I feel that I must tell you the wonder Swamp Root worked with me. Up to my fifteenth year I could not grow a spear of hair. My head was as bald as a roll of butter, and although I applied all kinds of hair tonics, none had the desired effect. One day by accident I dropped a few drops of Swamp Root on my head, and the next day I was surprised to see one tiny hair shooting up where each drop of Swamp Root had been. Delighted, I immediately bathed my head in Swamp Root, and within a week it was covered with long curly hair. Anderson, not to be outdone, rubbed a little of the ointment on the door knob and was astonished lo find a full head of hair the next morning. Yours respectfully, Glenn C. Dunlap. Mercer. Pa. ifil A Monday Spent in Slippery Rock. I Rose early in the morning and went to the French dressmakers to allow her to Alter a Black dress. She went to Work at once and promised to make it Wright. From there I went to the Bank and next to see the Taylor. Then as it was nearly nine o’clock, I started to the dormitory through the Yard. In going I passed a Cooper, a Minor and a Gardner with their tools, hurrying in Hunt of Work. In the afternoon, we started for a walk on the Conway, first we went through a Glenn into a Marsh. Some of the girls Bumped into a Bush. After we had rescued them, we went in to the Barchfield and there heard Armstrong asking Riddles among which were the following: If the grass were Dewey, would Winifred Fisher? If I.arl Stoops, does Alta Hotchkiss. Thoroughly disgusted with such frivolity, we decided to listen to no Moore and passed on, seeing a young Baker and Miller who had come from Cumberland. The sky was beautiful ; the clouds had taken many peculiar forms. One strongly represented a Horseman riding up to the very mouth of a Canon, another looked like a Berg. Farther up was a perfect picture of a huge fly caught in a Webb. As we had walked some distance, we turned about and started for Slippery Rock, reaching there just in time to get a fine dinner of boiled beef and cabbage. Now. I think all my readers will admit that we are Livingood. 162 HOW TO PROPOSE. First drop mamma, for you must be alone; A man can’t pop before a chaperon. Then choose a site—the yard is just the place, Beneath the Chinese lanterns magic blaze— But if the band is playing Rag time Lou, And if the crowd all rubberneck at you. Then take her somewhere where the light is dim. Take her to the Restaurant or to the Gym. When you have found the site, ask her to sit And watch with you the juicy June bug flit. Or spring some other like poetic thought. For by poetic words they oft are caught. Recite to her some drip about the moon. That great round orb that loveth those who spoon. And speak of love, of ceaseless love galore, But do not speak of those you’ve loved before. Then cast a few deep breathings on the air Put on a look of seeming sad despair And cry aloud: My Normal life is done. I’ve got to face this cruel world alone. Alone I have to face its fearful knocks, With none so poor to mend my holey socks. And then, if she’s the girl she ought to be. She’ll shyly mutter, well, what’s wrong with me? 163 Rules and Regulations as found in a Senior’s Room. Boys’ Dorm 1. Visitors will kindly make as much noise as possible, as we like the faculty to call often. 2. Always spit on the carpet, if you wish to spit, it brightens up the carpet and besides is very healthful. 3. Always jump up and down a few times when you come in. It helps the gas mantels. 4. Always tear up the room before you go as it keeps us from loafing and also saves others the trouble. 5. If you see anything you like, take it with you. 6. Always visit during study hours, as we have nothing to do then. 7. All persons having anything good to eat, are especially welcome. 8. If your clothes are dirty, always lie on the bed.

Always swear as much as possible as we wish to increase our vocabulary. I 1. Always wrestle on the bed as it is good for the springs. Recipe for a Senior. Take one Middler, stir in thoroughly two terms of Psychic and Geometry. Mix well with one State Board Experience, sprinkle lightly with dignity, set aside for two months to cool and the result will be a full fledged Senior. 164 Lida Wright. Hurrah! Hurrah! A single kiss he gave me Soft and warm. Hurrah! Hurrah! My Harold of the Dorm. Oh! how our hearts were beating. When he no more could stay. For down came Miss Bob in great array. With all her saintly dignity and tyrant power She drove him away long before the hour. He pressed my hand and there I stood “forlorn,” And into the dark went my hero of the Dorm. Why did she come to part us I ask her now Just when his kiss burned upon my brow. Sadly, I saw a tear was in his eye, And wondering, I asked the reason why. Smilingly, he took me in his arms And said “God shield my dear from harms.” I just wish you could hear Mr. French As he sits round and blows, On Sundays and on rainy days And tells folks what he knows. There ain’t a thing beneath the stars That French don’t talk about; And if there is, will some one point it out. Old Socrates, on the corner of ;i square Firing questions at every one there. Was something of a fellow worth our mench. But never could touch our Mr. French. • Prof. Shoemaker to Helen Hillard “What are the Hebrides?” 1 lelen “Hebrides mean bridge-grooms as they are the ‘He Brides.’ ’ Banks— It has got now that one can’t get a shave without a haircut. 165 In Regard to the Saxigena.

The school owns four well laid out courts, and these are occupied from the early morning hours until bells at night. To further the interest of tennis, an association has been organized. This association takes care of the courts, provides ball, arranges tournaments and endeavors in every way to advance the interests of tennis. Students may join the association by paying a small fee, and can get an immeasurable amount of good from it. Not much interest has been shown in tennis for the last few years, but we predict a brilliant year for the tennis. This school has never sent out teams to compete with another school, but never the less, we have people here that could show other schools a few points in playing tennis. Below are given the officers for this year. Pres................................... Livingood Vice Pres............................... Hassler Sec........................................
