It strives to arouse interest and to give encouragement to those who have talent, and t � awaken those who have up to this time not discovered theirs. It is practice in doing something for others as well as foi ourselves when a materpiece is given, and this is one of out aims. During our past history, many selections have been given along literary lines, among which were debates, readings, orations, and plays: while vocal and instrumental music has been rendered by those who are musically inclined. The society lias also given entertainments by having a ijoteworthv person come to our school and present something which was not onh for our amusement, but increased our appreciation and love for literature ami art. In the last year the musical ability of the students has been greatly encouraged by the organization of an orchestra composed of members of both societies. 'I'his orchestra has rendered delightful music in many of our programs, and we must say that it has made an opening for a brilliant future. In the past we have had a large percentage of faithful and loyal members, and we hope that it will so continue for the betterment of our society, for the officers without the cooperation of the members cannot improve any organization.

In the fall of 1889 the Xeotrophian Literary Society ami Irving Debating Club united, forming what is now known as the I'hilomathean Literary Society. It was founded not only for the purpose of entertaining hut for the good of the speaker. Of the importance of literary work to the school and to the individual student, too much cannot be said. The advantages which come to the man or woman who is able to express his ideas in clear forceful Knglish are not to he |uestioned. 'I'llrough our society we u i only find pleasure in attempting to make it a success but in preparing ourselves for future work. The I'hilomathean Society holds its meetings twiee a month in the Normal Chapel. The programs consist of orations, essays, debates, readings, music and dramatics.

Slippery Rock played and won games from schools above her class both at home and abroad. Especially interesting were the games with St. Francis College and with Franklin College. It was with such teams as these that Slippery Rock showed her real spirit, as she contested every inch of headway made by her opponents and made large gains herself. W e shall always see 11 ambry or Carling tearing through the opponent’s line, and Ruckalew running around an end for a touchdown, and l.ongacrc making a great forward pass and Carlson getting it.

Hut the one of which I am going to write Was neither a corn roast nor a basketball light: It was just a line picnic we had in the spring. Which a good share of fun to us all did bring. The nice long walk was one feature of the day. For Slippery Rock Creek never seemed so far away: Hut this only gave us a keen appetite Which, later in the day. came in just right I'or when we at last sat down to eat ()ur capacity was one not to he beat. All the afternoon was spent in boating And. in most cases, this was only floating: For the motor boat which we had hired. Would go awhile and then stop when tired: Hut it was only fun to sit and wait I util the thing started, as if by fate. There were rowboats, however, which had better luck. And kept right along, splashing like a duck. Thus all too soon, if you will believe. The departing time came, and we had to leave. II. C. Senior Corn Zhmst Listen, my children, and you shall hear. Of the Senior corn roast we had last year. In the fall of ’15. on a Monday night, We hiked out of town, clear out of sight : lint there were teachers with us, yes indeed, two or three. For there were Miss McCombs and Mr. and Mrs. I’. 1).. Who helped us to have a jolly good outing Which we certainly did have without an doubting. While some with the corn were trying their luck. Others were enjoying a game of double duck: Hut they say one got frisky and sought some fun. Cirace Cole had a black eye when the mischief was done. We were now attracted by the call for lunch. Ami when we all gathered, we made quite a bunch: Hut there was plenty of corn, boiled and roasted, Hcsides sandwiches, wieners, and marshmallows toasted. When the time for departing came, all too soon. We started home by the light of the moon. In couples, trios, and bunches, too, Just as young folks are accustomed to do. Some finished their lunch with apples red. Taken at an hour when good folks are in bed. Hut that should scarcely have been told. For aside from that, we were good as gold. Arrived in S. R. in the early hours And were up next morning as fresh as flowers. So we'll never forget the good time we had. I� ut the thought, ‘‘Our last corn-roast,’’ oft makes us sad. II. C. i � Class |}nein At the first of the month, September, In 1912. do you remember. A group of students bright and keen. P ut. my O, how very green! Came to this school? The following year, to join the race. Came another group with anxious iacc. In our Junior year hard days to pass, Come another group to join our class. The whole is equal to the sum of its parts. Our class, you see. had three different starts. I have told you now of the class as a whole Xow I will tell of each several soul. The first to mention from these groups. Will be our president—Charlie Stoops. A finer young man you will never meet. Nor a more powerful athlete. As president, none can him excel, l ie does his duty and does it well. Now Klla Mae Street! is a line little pearl, And Charlie did well to make her his girl. For more than two years this couple have been Always together through thick and thin. And now we all hope, in their future life. That Klla will be our president’s wife. Xow comes Dick Winner, so neat and clean, lie’s editor of our class magazine; He has much to do to bring success. Hut he can do it. nevertheless. Miss Marie Johnston, with complexion so fair, Xow Dick and Marie make a fine looking pair. Since association is the joy of life, Two more of our class will be man and wife. Miss Martha F.nrich. our class secretary. Always agreeable and never contrary. That her class work is high there is no question, “And the best girl in school. says George McOuiston. You always know George by his merry, gruff laugh. He’s another member of our magazine staff. Our treasurer is Miss Martha Mettle. A studious girl and very friendly With alwavs a nod and always a smile Happy and busy all the while. I.ee Arner. a bashful, red-faced lad.

Miss Mary Harbor, so solemn and quiet. A remendy for bashfulness.—she surely would try it. Xow a bright, little lass is F.dna Harchfield When getting her lessons she never would yield.

Says Roy. She’ll make me a tine little wife. Roy Hazlett. a star on our basketball floor. Is very good natured and never gets sore— Leaving him now for the next in the roll— Well, well if it isn't our little Grace Cole! Xow Grace is one of the jolly Jdnd Always in company of Min. Kdelstein. Well, Min. when it comes to writing of you. What in the world will I write or do? ' O. 1 have it—“A fine, little lass. The best cheer leader in our 16 class. Xow, whose name can I in here mix? Mere she comes. Miss Thelma Dicks. As quiet and bashful as can be. Thus we move to Miss Grace Lee. Who is very studious and recites just so We pass again to Edna Reno. She appears very quiet with ne’er a word, But many a giggle from her is heard. Miss Frances Barron in one recitation. Never could get real animation. Pearl and George and Scott ! loekenberrv Three of a kind and ne'er in a hurry. Gertrude Betz and Florence F.vvalt Oft while at study call a full halt, Then says Florence. 1 preach you a sermon ‘‘Oh,’’ says Gertrude. Study your German. Miss Florence Martzell. our melancholy girl. Sameday may enter the society whirl. On we pass to Edna Bricker. ‘‘Gee. says Edna. This German's a sticker. Here are two girls with just the same name. Alma and Grace with Davis the same. Two of a name, but not of a kind, Only a difference in greatness of mind. Xow Esther Buckley is rather small. But nevertheless she loves to laugh. And Carlnis Magee is really quiet tall A member of our magazine staff. When to others, things seem misty All is clear to little Mae Christy, One of the girls of our honor roll She studies hard with heart and soul. Helen and Martha Crawford, you know, Two more girls with names just so. Know how to study and how to think. And likewise does Miss Laura Fink. Miss Alda Hunter and little Miss Laura. Always together in joy or sorrow. Xext in the list is Marv I. Dunn. Always and ever full of fun. Have you ever heard Russ ' Louden laugh? If not, you've lived your life only half. The names beginning with “M are numerous To write each one would surely be humorous. So I'll mention each name in kind of a rhyme And slop at that for lack of time. Now Christine McCarthy and Margaret Magee Late to Physics they manage to be. Louise McCullough and Anna McGinnis W e work and study for all that is in us. Xow Edna Montgomery and Hazel Moore And Catherine Mclntire, and just five more. Then Dora Morrison and Merkle, Marie. As merry, as lively, as bright as can be.

Another boy not to be left out. This happy, young chap. Reason Doutt. If you read this rhyme you’ll know him well. For all he knew he here did tell. Alton Grove was the last to appear, Very late in our Senior year. lie came from another Normal course To join our i;mks and add to our force. I've told of each and every one. And all I've said has been in fun. And now, dear friends, before we part. Always keep a joyful heart; And when you re iccligg glum and blue. And everything goes wrong with you. Don't carry 'round a solemn face And show you've tailed to win the race. Much harm is done by too much talk: ho cannot ride, he needs must walk: So what's the use of grumbling loud And ''making wise'' the careless crowd. If you hold out, you'll have vour day. When welcome fortune turns your way: Hut. if you lose the needful grit. The world will soon ''get on to it.” Decide what you are fitted for Then study what's required the more. And. when you've measured up to it. He sure you'll find the place to fit. And when Dame Fortune shows her face, Just greet her with a smiling grace: Then all the world will laugh with you, Xoi knowing all you've struggled through. And ever we ll be true to thee Our Normal School so dear. Where ere our pathway be W ith every passing year. The friendship formed within these walls Shall ever sacred be: No matter what on earth befalls. W e'll keep fond thoughts of thee. Class ©istorw We come to say good-bye. It i an occasion of anguish aiul tears because the four short years of our Normal course are rapidly drawing to a close. It is now that this realization is coming to each and every member of our class. We came in as Freshmen in the fall of nineteen twelve with the idea of climbing the ladder steadily. Thus in the fall of '13 we made an energetic and warlike band of Sophomores. In our Junior year we added to the pioneers of our class reinforcements from various high schools. We then deemed ourselves worthy i organizing the present class of lb'16. W e chose for our President. Charles Stoops, who has faithfully served and done his duty to our class. After our organization, we thought it time to get busy: so the spring of our Junior year was marked by many happenings. One of the prominent events was that of the Junior picnic. In the Vanguard was given by us on Junior Night of Commencement Week of 15. In the fall of our Senior year we had a corn roast at Cooper's (.rove, the memory of which will last forever. We see and feel now that the time is rapidly approaching when we must |iiit these scenes, part with these friends, seek other sources of inspiration and guidance, wrestle with life’s harder problems. find new friends, adjust ourselves to new relations, carve out each his own career ami character. What we shall be. whether useful or ornamental in the world’s great drama, is a tale untold. Kngrave this little motto on your heart and with it the best wishes of the class of 1( 16: Build for character, not for fame. Mary Gertrude Betz. Florence Flizabcth I'.wait. (Llie formal S'cluml During the autumn of 1887, the question f organizing a school in Slip ] cry Rock was agitated. The project found many friends and soon assumed definite form. A meetings was called at which it was determined to erect a building and open an academy. Subscription papers were prepared, and the community was canvassed for money to erect a building and support a school until it should become self-sustaining. While this work was in progress, the discovery was made that there was no normal school in this district. A second meeting was called, at which it was resolved to erect the necessary buildings and apjdv tor recognition as the State Normal School of the Eleventh District. To determine was. with them, to act. Subscriptions were again solicited, and soon sufficient money was pledged to warrant success. In the spring of 1888. an organization was effected, a charter obtained, a building committee elected, and the erection of the buildings was begun. In the spring of 1889 the buildings were completed, and on the first day of February the committee appointed bv the State inspected them. By a unanimous vote the recognition of the school was recommended. 'Phis school enjoys the distinction of being the only one in the State that achieved recognition within a year from the inception of the enterprise, a distinction hardly to be expected in an obscure village away back in what has been facetiously termed the buckwheat fields of Butler county. Other schools had a prolonged struggle for many years. There are six principal buildings—two dormitories, a chapel, a main building, a gymnasium, and a model school. They arc situated on a commanding eminence. The dormitories contain 220 rooms, besides a reception room, large dining hall, kitchen, store rooms, etc. The chapel is situated between the two dormitories. It is a fine stone building. 89x110 feet. Norman French architecture, and contains music rooms and the general as-scmbly room. The large room has a seating capacity for one thousand persons. and a gallery for three hundred additional scats. 'Pile endeavor has been made to construct an auditorium of beauty and convenience. The buildings are surrounded by grounds comprising about fifty-seven acres. Part of this is covered by forest trees and orchards. The part immediately surrounding the buildings has been graded and laid out in beautiful ’awns intersected with pleasant walks and drives. Many trees and shrubs have been planted, and numerous pots of flowers enhance the beauty of the place. A handsome fountain, the memorial gift of a recent class, stands directly in front of the main building. Provision has been made for lawn tennis and other outdoor games. A baseball field has been carefully laid out. and a grand stand erected capable of seating over four hundred persons. 'Phc discipline of the school is made as simple as possible. Self-control is the ideal sought. Dr. James E. Morrow, � f Allegheny. Pa., was chosen principal, and the first term of the normal began with one hundred and sixty-eight students. The growth of the school has been rapid and is largely due to the vital energy of the community and district in which it was established. After the normal had been open for a year a change was made in the principalship and Dr. A. K. Maltby was elected and has been at the head of the school ever since that time. 'Phc school has now passed under complete State control, and is managed by a board of nine trustees, residents of the normal school district—Allegheny. Butler, and Beaver counties—and appointed by the State Board of Education. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education prescribe the rules and regulations for the management of the school. Alumni Possibly n«i normal school or oilier educational institution in the State has a more loyal or interested alumni than Slippery Kook Normal. The growth of the school has been phenomenal and in twenty-live years 2625 voting men and women have been graduated. The majority of these arc in the schools of the world, for alumni are found in almost every state in the I nion. besides in Mexico. South America. China, Philippines. Hawaii. Egypt, India, Canada and Europe. The sun never sets on the Normal alumni oi this place. The training of capable teachers in whom the alumni have full confidence explains one of the sources of success in the Normal. The loyaltx of the alumni insures the attendance of large bodies of students, for without the alumni as advertising agents, and as expositors of their educational training here, showing their abilities which were energized in the Norma), tlie institution could not be known so widely or so well. Many of the ladies of the alumni are wives of business men. teachers, physicians, farmers, mechanics, ministers and others. Many of those who completed the course in recent years arc in other institutions of learning and preparing for further usefulness. Many of the alumni are found on school boards, among church officials, trustees of various institutions, leaders in society, promoters of new movements, and guardians of the laws of the land. Slippery Rock is the official Normal school of the counties of Allegheny. Reaver and Kutler. and from these come yearly new recruits selected bv the great army of alumni found in this district. Other counties as far east as the Appalachian mountains and Eastern Ohio furnish hundreds of students. .IJolu'S IX)XT FORGKT— To act saucy—it shows your good breeding.
