At the same time, we have attempted to make this annual a book of literary merit, one worthy of our class and a true representation of it. No doubt our work will appear crude in many respects but we hope that it will he accepted in the same spirit in which we have offered it. as the result of our best efforts. In this work, the Staff has been greatly aided by the cheerful co-operation of both students and faculty. To all of these we are grateful, not only for their material aid hut also for their helpful suggestions and wise counsel. So we leave the Saxigena with you, alumni and schoolmates, trusting that, to the former, it may be a source of many pleasant memories and. to the latter, a means of deepening the loyalty of the undergraduates and of portraying in lasting light the last year of our own dear class of Eighteen.

Tub Staff 6 X Our Normal School 7 have hod o most rare vision. 1 hove hod o dream post the wit of man to soy what dream it was.”—Siiakkspeark. A vision, a dream, of a real Normal School! Complete ownership of Slippery Rock State Normal School in 1916 by the State marked a new era in the development of the School. Grand as has been her record in the past, may it be grander still in the future. Students, happy, honorable and enthusiastic in their work! Is it a dream? It shall be a reality at Slippery Rock State Normal School. The purpose of the Normal School is to prepare teachers for the public schools of Pennsylvania. The need of trained teachers is an ever-increasing need. The war is taking many teachers away from the profession. Voting people with special teaching ability should be directed toward the teaching profession by their teachers. The plan at Slippery Rock is to make the students happy in their surroundings and work. Realizing the importance of environment ujK n the aesthetic sense, the grounds and buildings are attractively arranged. The springtime brings out in full the beauty of the grounds with the winding walks shaded by waving trees. The buildings arc attractively designed. Modern conveniences are provided. In the very near future, an improvised j ower plant will be installed with electricity and refrigerating plant. Improvement will be made in the heating system, storm windows added, completely modernizing the entire plant with every possible physical comfort. The regular Normal School Course is adapted to first class High School graduates as well as to those who have not had the advantage of a I Iigh School training. The Rural school course is intended for rural teachers. Realizing the need of special teachers, the Normal School is arranging well organized courses in vocal and instrumental music, house hold economy, commercial work, and physical training. To meet the social needs of the students provision is made to take an active part in the two well-organized Literary Societies. Special after-dinner activities are provided in the devotional meetings of the religious organizations, the study hour, games and dancing in the Gymnasium. On Wednesday evening, the devotional meetings of the Y. Y. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. are held. The vesper service in the chapel on Sabbath evening is a joint meeting of the two societies. The Bible ('lass taught by I )octor G. L. Hamm on Sabbath afternoon affords opportunity for Bible study. The faculty is eager to train lxxly. mind and spirit by developing the qualities of leadership so necessary in a teacher. Students are happy in this development. A dream, did you say? No. a vision in the process of realization at Slippery Rock State Normal School. 7 Board of Trustees Clyde C. Green........ Hon. James M. Galbreath Origen K. Bingham...... John A. Gibson.........

GAUT In tub Skrvicb of His Country 2G “All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. His acts being seven ages, As Shakespeare has so likened the world to the stage of drama, may vc in our turn liken our class to the play which is to he presented upon that stage. I'nlike the play of man. our play is not in seven acts. Our play—the drama of our existence—can be fitly told in four. As the curtain—the Curtain of Dawn—slowly rises upon the first act. we see before us the lovely campus of Slippery Rock charged with autumn beauty. It is the year '14. and the month, September. A group of tiny folk have gathered around a happy fountain. It is a group of Freshmen who are talking about the trials and troubles of their first Algebra class. Hut their sorrows arc those of the present, and such sorrows, they think, are the keenest. Their voices die away, but the spray still springs from the fountain. Thus, in the midst of hushed silence, the curtain falls upon the first act of our history. Again the curtain rises. Again it is autumn, but it is a year later. The tiny Freshmen have grown into august Sophomores. Caesar is to them a joy, while Geometry is only a pastime—a study for leisure hours. Smiles grow on a Sophomore's lips, and so they grow on theirs. So amid smiles and Caesar— Caesar and smiles—the curtain falls upon the year T6. During the intermission, the orchestra plays a tuneful melody. It is the Song of Welcome—a welcome that greets the additional members of our third act. They, along with the older members of the cast, clad in loose robes of Purple and White, make a pretty entrance. As they gather on the stage before us, we see them organize for active work. Glad applause greets Clare Book, as he. rising to the position of leading man, accepts the role of Junior President. And now the Secretary. Florence Whitehead, calmly acknowledges the office of leading lady. Thus, being duly organized, the Juniors make ready for a class party. So. on March 10, 1017, the Juniors held their memorable party in the gymnasium. The lovely month of June finds the Juniors at their picnic. Here good cheer runs high; 'tis here that many drink of the cup of happiness. Then comes the Marshmallow and Weiner Roast in the Normal Woods. Never before did marshmallows look so big or unbuttered buns taste so good! Last, but not least, appears the night of the Junior IMay, and as the curtain rings down on The Old Peabody Few. it falls upon the successful year of the Juniors. Our play is almost over. For the last time the curtain rises upon the Class of 18. The atmosphere has changed. 'Tis a spirit of sweet solemnity that breathes everywhere. Suddenly the silvery tones of a bugle break in upon that silence. Its liquid voice seems to be calling.—coaxingly calling two Seniors away. We see that class fondly bid “Good-bye to President and Vice President, while somewhere in the distance we hear the refrain. The old llag shall never touch the ground, boys. However, the sorrows of parting pass away and we see the Seniors in their gayer moods. They are launching forth to the Com Roast at Cooper's Grove. What a night it is with the stars and glowing fire! The cold winter comes on—and with it the Sled Load. But winter blossoms into summer, the summer of our Senior year. The time is growing short .the play is almost over, and as that curtain descends, it falls with a tender blessing. It breathes a blessing, for thee and me, the members of old 18. R. R. C. 28 «.

Philomathean; Glee Club; Chorus; Y. W. C. A. Laugh with her eyes as she listen , Hut governs her tongue and is silent. This is our unobtrusive, inoffensive little Mary. Dependable and unselfish, she is. Mary always has her lessons; therefore, she is an endless source of encouragement to the faculty. Mary is an exceptional German student. Then, too, she is a staunch member of the Republican party in Professor Cook’s Senate. It was in this Senate that Mary won fame as a debater. She is a lover of all kinds of sports. Her true friend, however. is the library where she whiles away many a happy hour. It is said that there are few books with which Mary is not acquainted. We well know that her real ambition is to teach. Our best wishes go with you. friend Mary, and our hopes are for your happy and successful future. VKRNOICA ALLEN Saxonburg, Pknn’a. Philomathean; Vice Pres. Class; Choral Club; Glee Club; Girls’ Chorus. You ran sec the light of heaven in her eyes. Mary Veronica Frances is one of the charter members of our class. She is very prominent among her classmates and has been chosen as Vice President of our class. In fact, Veronica takes an active part in all school affairs. She says she can sec no great harm in studying on Sunday afternoon,—but peep into her room on Sunday afternoon,—and you will generally catch her napping, or if quite awake, practicing singing. Veronica’s greatest delight is in singing; accordingly she has studied music at the Normal and has graduated in it. However, her greatest ambition is to be a nurse. RUTH MARIE BADGER Bryant; Glee Club; Chorus; S. C. B. Club. “Sweet us the primrose That peeps from beneath the thorns. “Badge,” ns she is known to us, is one of the charter members of our class, and a most esteemed and valuable member, too, for we have found her an energetic student and a congenial friend. As to her apnearancc, sparkling brown eyes and dark locks distinguish this maiden. Although we do not know where Ruth will be next year, yet the closs of ’18 unites in wishing her success in whatsoever she may undertake. 80 RUTHINE BARKEY Youngstown, Ohio Philomathean; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A. In the Fall of 11)15, our class received new re-enforcements. Among the new comers was a blue-eyed, fair-haired, little girl whom we soon learned to know as Ruthine or “Ruth.” She joined our ranks to labor with us in pursuit of a higher education. She is one of the good natured ambitious girls who believe that life is worth living. Ruthine takes an active part in literary work as well as in many other activities of the school. She is looking forward to the time when she can go as a missionary across the sea. When twilight draws the curtain. And pins it with a star, Wc will think of oar friend, Ruthine, Tho' she mag be afar” MINNIE BELL North Washington, Penn’a. Bryant; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A.; Educational Association; Junior Play. Minnie cast her lot with the class of ’18, coming to us in the fall of ’16. She soon became well known to us all, first, because she is not a particularly quiet girl; second, because she made herself conspicuous in classes by reciting; and third, because she was able to convince the teachers that what she knew amounted to something. Nevertheless, Minnie is a jolly girl and ever in for a lark. She cares not what the faculty thinks, for she generally ends in making them think her way. She has decided theatrical ability and distinguished herself in the Junior Play. Minnie is not one to distinctly evade the sterner sex. and during her Junior Year was often heard to ask for more (Moore). ARTHUR H. BLACK Volant, Pa. Bryant; Y. M. C. A.; Senior Basketball Team. For he's a jolly good fellow No one needs an introduction to “Art,” for he has the ability of making himself known, somehow and somewhere, to everyone. Art is a good all-round fellow who has the “pep” to do anything—when he wants to. “Black” is noted for his clever and witty sayings (patents applied for). When he first landed in S. R., he was a “girl-hater,” but toward the end of his Junior year he changed his mind and provided himself with a girl and he has kept her ever since. Art’s specialty is color combining. He thinks like the rest of us that “Black” and “White”(head) make a choice combination. 31 ANNA ELIZABETH BLEVINS Volant, Pa. Bryant; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club. This little dark-eyed maiden is another of our illustrious class of ’18. After graduating from Volant High School, Anna chose Slippery Rock Normal as a likely place to further her education. Anna has a reputation as a cook, yes and a student, too, for she always has a good standing in her classes. However, none of us can attain perfection and even Anna has the had habit of dropping off to slumberland during study period. Her one hobby is buggy riding and she is said to derive great pleasure therefrom. Those who know her best agree that she is a loyal friend who is always ready to lend a helping hand. ESTHER BOVARD Wick, Prnn’a. Bryant; Normal Orchestra; Glee Club; Chorus. Esther, one of our prettiest brunettes, entered S. R. as a Freshman four long years ago. Since then she has taken part in almost every school activity. Esther is one of the violinists of the Normal. Her “fiddle” is her dearest friend, and with it she plays the hours away. At the piano. Esther is quite a musician. All in all, this Senior is a music loving girl. Esther is an attentive student, too. This can be readily proved by her prompt answers in recitation classes. Esther’s future holds forth many opportunities. It is our sincerest wish for her. that these many opportunities may be happily realized. MARIE BRINGS Duquksne, Pknn’a. Philomathean; Glee Club; Girls’ Chorus; Basketball. Dark of hair and dark of eye . With Juno e’er in charm she vies. This esteemed and intelligent classmate of ours entered our class as a .Junior in the Fall of '16. Marie is one of our best Senior forwards in basketball. She has well represented her class as well as herself when she was in this game. In tennis, too, Marie has few peers. As an astronomy student, she excelled all. This was probably due to the fact that she had more experience at “star-gazing” than the rest of her friends. Marie is a worthy Philo. This society is especially proud of Marie’s work in debating. JESSIE MITCHELL BRITTAIN Beaver, Pa. Glee Club; Philomuthean; Y. W. C. A. Her voter wait soft, gentle and low, An excellent thing in a woman. Jessie knows a Rood place when she hears of one, for when she started in her search for wisdom and learning, she landed at Beaver High, but after a short stay her good judgment led her to the new and—yes green— class of 19M at S. R. Now Jessie is proud of the fact that she is one of the members of the most famous class that ever went out into the world from Slippery Rock. Jessie is very quiet and at the same time sweet and pleasant. She believes in “being seen and not heard.” Why did Jessie not capture one of our boys at S. R.? “There’s a reason”—she is being staunch to her soldier boy. MARY BUCHANAN Dayton, Penn'a. Educational Association; Y. W. C. A. Mary is one of our girls who does not believe in the frivolities of life. You will always find her busy doing something worth while. That she spends her time profitably cun readily be seen by her intelligent and always ready responses in the class-room. Our professors will testify that she has never been found wanting in that respect. As far as we have been able to find out from this reticient little girl, her greatest ambition is to be a good school teacher. Keep up your faithful, earnest endeavors, Mary, and you will surely be crowned with success. LOIS CAMPBELL Prospect, Pa. Philomathcan; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A. So ready to he pleasant and kind, Deep of soul, mighty of mind. Slipnery Rock claims Ix is as one of her model young ladies. She is one of the few charter members of our class and in addition to graduating from the Normal, she also graduates in Vocal music. Lois is very ambitious in literary society and is especially noted for her debates. We hear that she was much interested in teaching the ninth grade last fall. Wonder why? From the way she dreams in Virgil class, we think she must have left part of her heart in Kansas last summer. Louis's aspirations are,—well, to be a good teacher and to have a good time. 33 REBA REGIS CAMPBELL Crafton, Pknn’a. Philomathean; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Choral Club; Senior Quartette; Y. W. C. A.; Basketball; Educational Association; Saxigcna Staff; Junior Play. When our clans was young and childish, “Becky” came to us one day, Happy smiles and studious nature. Whispered, “She has come to stay.” Stoic and shy, well guess never, techy's always at the front; You’ll not find a. brighter maiden Wheresoever you may hunt. She is always at the front line Whether it be work or fun. And she’s never shirked a duty, Since this class of ours began. Vivacious, serious, fun-loving, sympathetic; this unusual combination is our Reba who has won much fame for dear old S. R., by means of her wonderful ability in dramatic and literary work. We all know Reba not only as a splendid student and enthusiast in all school activities, but also best of all, as a true, sympathetic, and loving friend. ALICE CHRISTY Connblsville. Penn‘a. Bryant; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club. In the beginning of its Junior year, the class of 1918 was glad to welcome Alice as a loyal member. She came to us from Point Marion High School, bringing with her a wealth of kindly humor and good-natured fun. Although Alice always says just what she thinks, we who know her, find her to be a true friend. She has a smile for everyone, which has won for her a host of friends. Being a thoughtful girl, she is a great admirer of frank, “earnest” men. Alice has taken part in many of the activities of our school life. May success attend you, is our wish. MABEL FRANCES DAVIS Grove City, Pa. Girls’ Chorus; Bryant; Y. W. C. A.; Glee Club. Mabel, unlike many of us. has been with our class from its very beginning, and so has had the advantage of four years of life in S. R. S. N. Thinking much and saying little, she is always ready to assist others. She is a great lover of music, and an expert pianist. Her musical talent and enthusiastic love for it will enable her to do something great in this line. Her ambition is to specialize in music. She is a girl of beautiful character and sweet disposition. We all like her. even the bovs, and especially “Ed.” Those who do not know her call her quiet, but we are sure her friends know her better. Sne has been a loyal and studious classmate, and here’s wishing her the best of success in the future. 34 PEARL IRENE DAY West Suxbury, Pa. Bryant; Junior Play. In September of 11)16, Pearl joined our ranks as a Junior. She is not only a diligent student, but she is also a kind and genial friend. In disposition, she is iuiet and cheerful; and wonderful to relate—she has never been known to grumble. Pearl's favorite pastime is reading and she can usually be found, in her leisure hours, enjoying a good book. Perhaps it was in some romance of the West, that her desire to teach there originated. However, we are only surmising, but “there's a reason.” We are certain that Pearl does not anticipate a life of singleblessedness, else why should she introduce into the “Senate” a bill for taxing cats, the only solace of the old maid? Well, Pearl, in whatsoever sphere you choose, your classmates wish you abundant success. BERNICE DIMIT Slippery Rock, Penn’a. Glee Club; Bryant; Girls' Chorus. Item-ice, you know, is a peaceable child. And her disposition quite mild. Her voice is soft and low and sweet; A gentler girl you’ll never meet. This little girl is one of the group which is known as the “Down Town Girls.” Each one of this group either lives or rooms in the town; thus some of us who live in the dormitory, have the mistfortune of not knowing some of them as well as we would like to. We do know, however, that although basketball and similar games have no fascination for Bernice, yet she is fond of swimming and dancing. We are proud to have Bernice as a class-mate, not only on account of her intellectual abilities, but also on account of her ready wit and humor. Bernice has our best wishes for a happy and prosperous future. MARTHA DONALDSON McDonald, Penn’a. In the Fall of '16, Martha joined our class after having graduated from McDonald High School. She is quiet, but her thoughts run in deep channels. Her favorite study is Zoology; 'Tis said that she is very fond of catching “Millers.” Martha is popular among all of her classmates. Perhaps her ready smile has done much to increase her popularity. Martha is fond of many sports; her favorite one, however, is “Dodge Ball.” Martha’s motto is “Hitch your wagon to a star.” This motto even influenced her when it came to choosing rooms, for, you know, Martha rooms on fourth floor. 35 MARY BOYCE DUNN Pittsburgh. Pbnn’a. I'hilomathean; Glee Club; Girls’ Chorus. Mary joined our ranks in her Sophomore year and at once adapted herself to our school life. This prominent member of our class seems to have an independent manner, but vc know her as a sweet and jolly friend. Nevertheless, she has a determination and strength of character that will count for much when she is called upon to face life’s problems. Along literary lines, Mary is quite proficient, being especially noted for her debates and nook reviews. We would also mention here that her favorite expression is “Great Scott.” As to our friend’s future profession, we can not say. She may realize her highest ambition and become a trained nurse, or perhaps take up household management. Who can say? QUAY DEAN ELLENBERGER COWAKSVILLE, PENN'A. Bryant; Y. M. C. A.; Editorial Staff; “The House Next Door.” The force of his own merit makes his way” “Q. I .” is a charter member of our class, having entered in the Fall of ’14 as a Freshman. Quay is one of the cleverest fellows of our class; his cleverness is of that droll sort, you know. “Q. D.” heads the class when it comes to Mathematics. You should hear him in our Senior Arithmetic class. Although Quay has never been smitten by the charms of his S. R.” classmates, we often wonder if he is not thinking of “The Girl I Left Behind Me.” Aside from Mathematics being Quay’s favorite study, we hear that the “Lady Slin-per” is his favorite flower. It has been through the worthy efforts of Quay that our Saxigena has been such a success. May success and happiness ever follow you, “Q. I).,” such is the wish of your classmates.

We must not forget her as first Captain of “Chapel” Hall, and if we just remember, “Just two more minutes, girls,” we will immediately recall Captain Hamilton.

Dacic, after spending three years in Sandy Lake High, joined our class in the Kail of 1 i I as a Junior. In appearance, this little maiden is small and slender. She is not so well known among her classmates as some, because she believes in learning to keep house as well as learning from books. Dacie is never known to skip classes or chapel, but let a jolly bunch of young folks come along with a car and lots of good eats and she is always ready for a good time regardless of the day. Her class-mates wish her a successful future as a school teacher. RUSSEL VERNE SEARING Slippery Rock, Pknn’a. Class Treasurer; Bryant. “Sib” joined our class in the Fall of To, after having graduated from Slippery Rock High in the previous Spring. He has proved to be a very worthy member of our class. Without Russel as our class Treasurer, our financial conditions would have keenly suffered. “Sib” has especially distinguished himself as a magician. ’Tis a true “sleight of hand” performer that he is. This worthy fellow is one of the school’s best debaters. It takes a brave heart to oppose Sib” on the debating platform. He is very popular among the girls, particularly those of the Junior class. It is thought that he has some means of charming them with those laughing brown eyes, which very often turn to “Hazel” and which always seem to be achin’ (Eakin). FAUNE SMITH Butler, Pknn’a. Philomathean; Y. W. C. A.; Girls Glee Club; Chorus. Faune is a happy-go-lucky little girl. She is always merry and loves everyone, especially-------her brother. However, Faune is ambitious for an education for that is the reason she came to S. R., after having graduated from West Sunbury High School. Her distinguishing characteristic is her industriousness??, while her favorite pastime is tripping the fantastic toe,” at which Faune is no amateur. That you may trip as merrily through life is the wish of your classmates for you. 51 MINNIE KEITH SNYDER Mkrckr, Pknn’a. Philomathean; Glee Club; Girls’ Chorus; Y. W. C. A.; Educational Association. “To know her is to love her, To name her is to praise.” This dear little maiden came to join the ranks of the “Purple and White” in the Fall of 1016, from the Mercer High School. In stature, Minnie is small, but the place she occupies in the hearts of her classmates cannotb e measured. Who can help but love this bright, happy lass? Her brightness and smiles make us forget our troubles, whilst in her cheering presence, even the Freshie forgets his “Home, Sweet Home.” But art is Minnie’s specialty. She loves to pain and draw. However, her chief artistic desire is to make us all realize that “Her sweet Art is the Man in the Moon.” Your classmates wish you success, Minnie, wherever you go. We shall ever think of our dear, happy, little friend and shall rejoice in her success. EVA CECELIA STEWART Plain Gkovk, Pknn’a. Bryant; Basketball; Glee Club; Girls’ Chorus. A kind and gentle heart hath she.” This girl, with the fair complexion, sunny hair, and blue eyes is a graduate of Plain Grove High School. To those who do not know her, Eva is an apparently quiet girl. Nevertheless, Eva is always willing to “do her bit” in planning for any fun. Eva is very fond of good music; she is ambitious to be a violinist. Then, too. our Eva is desirous of teaching in a High School. We hope she may realize her aspirations. Indeed, we look forward to seeing Eva a capable High School teacher, expounding to her fortunate pupils the principles of her beloved Mathematics. A very worthy profession, Eva, but one which we fear you will desert e’er long, in order to take up your real life’s work. Here’s wishing you long life and happiness in your chosen career. HULDAH KATHLEEN STEWART Parnassus, Pknn'a. Bryant; Y. W. C. A.; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club. “Huldie” is one of our most earnest (Ernest) students. She came to us two years ago from Verona High School. Huldah has a smile for everybody, but when she is intensely excited, her enthusiasm gives vent to expression, “Oh Heart.” We think this is what Huldah must have said when she received her Arithmetic grade. However. Huldah is a good student, a staunch supporter of the Bryant Literary Society, a true and loyal friend: in short, an all around “good sport.” We, her friends and classmates, predict for her a bright and glowing future. As for Huldah herself, she is lookking forward to the time when the “boys come home.” 52 .JESSIE PEARL STEWART Polk, Penn’a. Bryant; Y. W. C. A.; Glee Club. Jessie, a very modest and quiet little girl, joined our colors in our Sophomore Year. In Public Speaking, Jessie belonged to the Prohibition Party; so you sec she’s as good as she looks. It was in her Senate work that Jessie particularly distinguished herself. How many of us will ever forget her staunch support of “Cats” when it came to that memorable “Tax Bill?” This little girl has a voice as small as herself. However, it is plenty loud enough to be heard in a bungalow for two. Well, here’s to you, Jessie, we wish you eternal success and happiness. GAYL BLANCHE STOTLER Parnassus, Pknn’a. Bryant; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Educational Association. Gayl needs no introduction, for no one is in our school long without becoming acquainted with this bright and promising Senior. As a student, she is one of our best and has been with our class since its infancy. There is scarcely any activity in the school that is not enriched by her honest endeavors. Notwithstanding this fact, Gayl believes that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” so she acts accordingly, and if there is any fun going, Gayl is right there. May you ever enjoy life and approach it with the same spirit you have displayed in our school life at S. R. PRANCES OPAL STUDEBAKER Jacksville, Pknn’a. Philomathcan; Glee Club; Basketball; Girls’ Chorus. This blue-eyed lassie received part of her early education at Harlansburg High School. However, she decided to come to Slippery Rock in 1915. She is one of the pretty dark-haired girls of our class; she is also one of its younger members. On account of her pleasing personality and ready wit, she has many friends. Although bright and industrious, Opal is a great lover of fun. Many a time have we heard her jolly laugh ringing out at almost any odd moment. She likes basketball, dancing, and Domestic Science. Her highest ambition is to specialize in the latter. The class of T8 is proud in having “Opic” for one of its members, and they all wish her the greatest success. 68 OLIVE STUTTER Allison Park, Pknn’a. Philomathcan; Educational Association; Glee Club; Girls’ Chorus; Y. W. C. A. Olive came to Slippery Rock in 11)15, casting her lot with us as a Sophomore.

This little lady is very fond of outdoor sports; her favorite one being tennis. Olive is an active member of our literary society. As a debater, she has ably helped on our Philo programmes. Olive usually years a hat, but it is rumored that she is fond of a Hood.” The last thing that we hear from her at night, and the first thing that we hear in the morning, is O Sta—rs!” SARA SWEETAPPLE Raymilton, Pknn’a. Bryant; Educational Association; Basketball; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A. At. the beginning of the Fall term of 1916, a lighthaired lassie appeared among our numbers. Upon inquiring who this lass was we found out that unlike the proverbial swcctapple, she is as good as her name sounds. In her Senior year, Sara was one of the favored few who received the honor of being elected by the faculty to a membership in the Educational Association. In the Senate, although she gave several interesting speeches on various bills, we feel certain that unless Sara decides to take up another line of work too soon, she will one day be a noted teacher. ALICE TALLANT Murrysville, Penn’a. Kditor-in-Chief of Suxigcno Junior Play; Choral Club; Girls’ Chrous; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A.; Basketball; Senior Quartette. None knows her bnl In lore her, Nor mimes her put lo praise. ’Twas some kind fate that placed Alice in the class of '18. Such a girl as our Alice is a girl of whom any class could be justly proud. If anybody in this world ever reaches the highest standard of Social Efficiency, this person will be none the less than Alice Tallant. NVe all love her; we all praise her. We love her because of her wonderful disposition. She is so kind—so thoughtful. We praise her because of her unusual powers. She is talented in almost every line of worthy activity. She can sing; she can write. She has always been one of the leaders of the school. Her opinions are respected by all; both faculty and students “look up to her. If anyone of our class will ever be missed, 'twill be our sweet Alice. 54 HAZEL THOMAS McKkesport, Pknn’a. Philomathean; Junior Play; Senior Basketball; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A.; Chorus. “The world is filled with flowers, The flowers ore filled with dew. The dew is filled with lore For you, and you, and you.” Hazel is one of our unusual girls. She is athletic, she is studious, she is pretty. Such, indeed, is an extraordinary combination, but in Hazel all of these attributes are blended into a perfect whole. Hazel is very fond of argument. Many a time has she “downed her room-mates in that proverbial debate on “Formal Discipline.” Hazel is fond of dancing. ’Tis said that she wore out isx” pairs of shoes while dancing on the Gym floor in the Winter Term. Then, too. “Haz” likes basketball. To her that is the only game. She made a splendid captain of the Senior Basketball Team. Twas through her worthy efforts that we won from the Junior girls on that memorable March 13th. ETHEL THOMPSON Annandalk, Pknn’a. Bryant; Girls' Chorus; Glee Club. The class of ’18 is glad to have among its members one so quiet and studious as Ethel. It is upon the industry of such members that the future fame of a class depends. Unlike the most of us, Ethel has had some practical experience at school teaching. You sec she taught one year before she joined the ranks of T8. Ethel is one of our bright girls. Her lessons are always prepared, and her recitations are always brilliant. Ethel is one of our mathematicians; therefore she is a favorite of Professor Ricketts. For boys, Ethel has no use. Perhaps, some day, Ethel may change her mind when it comes to the liking of the opposite sex. ETTA THOMPSON Euclid, Pknn’a. Bryant; Glee Club; Chorus; Educational Association. Let me introduce to you our Etta. Now. this little lady is one of our extraordinary students. She is a girl who has been with us for four years. During that time we have learned to know her, and in learning to know her, we have learned to value her. Etta is one of our Public Speaking stars. As Senator of Texas, she well represented her state. Many bills do I recall that she introduced into our local senate; each bill was a good one, too. Etta is one of our most able Seniors. Her lessons are always prepared. ’Tis no wonder, then, that she is a favorite with the faculty. Etta’s one ambition is to be a Primary Teacher—and to be a worthy one at that. We know that she will see the fulfillment of this dream, for Etta’s disposition is one that is bound to succeed. 55 FLORENCE THOMPSON Wkst Sun bury, Penn’a. Bryant; Y. W. C. A.; Glee Club; Chorus. Florence, who is better known to her friends as “Tom,” became a member of the class of nineteen hundred and eighteen at the beginning of our Junior Year. When Florence first came to Slippery Rock, she joined the ranks of the down-town students. In her Senior Year, however, she became a mischievous tenant in the Girls’ Dorm. In her Junior Year, Florence was one of our most enthusiastic basketball players, but on becoming a Senior, Florence gave up her favorite sport. This little girl is especially fond of walking. Many a time has she taken a “hike” to Wolf Creek. Then, too, Florence is fond of reading. Her leisure hours often find her in the library, where with book in hand, she reads the time away. WILLIAM TURNER Valencia, Penn’a. Philomathean; Basketball; Y. M. C. A. Bill,” as he is commonly culled, is one of the most popular members of our class. He has been with old '18 ever since she first began. Bill has always been interested in athletics. He well represented the Normal on our regular basketball team. Then, too, he was elected captain of the Senior Basketball Team. Bill is always interested in having a good time. To him “court trials” are the Alpha and Omega of all fun. For some unknown reason, this worthy Senior has shown a peculiar liking for fair-haired Junior girls. To both you and “her,” friend Bill, we wish eternal happiness. MABEL HARRIET VARNUM Slippery Rock, Penn’a. Bryant Society; S. C. B. Club; Glee Club. “Life is too short to spend in useless labor. “Mab” blew up across the campus from Slippery Rock High into the brilliant Sophomore class of ’15. This sweet but independent little girl has a warm place in many hearts, especially in the hearts of “her bunch.” Mabel is very fond of traveling to towns not a great distance from home—yes, Greenville. Just why Mabel is so fond of this town is unknown to many persons. She has often been caught sitting with a dreamy expression in her eyes. She must have interest in the direction in which she gazes, which is always toward “West.” We all join in wishing her a bright and prosperous year. 56 CATHERINE URSULA WALSH Pittsburgh, Pknn’a. Phi Ionia t hean; Glee Club; Girls’ Chorus. Her heart is as big as Pittsburgh, The city from which she hails. Let me here introduce you to our Catherine, the Catherine of smiles and sighs. You sec her eyes arc blue, and her hair is of midnight black. Yes, she’s a true bonny lassie—a lassie of our Emerald Isle. We call her Skinnie. dear friends, though “why” I could never understand. Methinks ’twould be better to call her “Happy,” for that she truly is. Catherine’s best friend is her father; many a time has she told me of this wonderful man. On Sunday evenings, does she lover to prate of her “Dad.” ”He’s the best fellow in the world,” and on she goes. Skinnie is one of our best dancers. At the sound of a faint strain of music, you’ll find Skinnie tapping her pretty gray shoes. ’Tis to Skinnie our dear old Skinnie—that we give happy wishes for the years that arc to come.

Well, ’tis on Thursday evenings that the girls dance in the Gym, and Lena is one of our best dancers. “Le” is a star in the academic course. The faculty arc all aware of the fact, and often call upon her to solve the hard question. Should you want to know any quotation from the inspired writers, just come to Lena. Tis said that she, Bryant, and Longfellow are good friends. FRANCES GUYLA WEBBER Santa Rosa, California. S. C. B. Club; Bryant; Glee Club; Chorus. “Her ryes like stars at twilight fair, Little twilight, too, her dusky hair.” This little dark-haired Senior is a native of our warm and sunny West. “Webbie left the Santa Rosa High School in the Fall of ’15 to join the ranks of our dear class. Guyla is one of our happy-go-lucky” girls; always have we seen her cheery; always have we caught the smiles on her lips; always have we seen the twinkle in her eyes. This little girls makes many a visit to Zelienoplc to see her Grandmother—as she says. “Webbie” is musically inclined, for she enjoys nothing more than a sweet old song. So “au revoir,” dear Guyla, we’ll miss you and your happy smiles. May you often think of us as we shall fondly think of you. 57 GALE WEST Slippery Rock, Penn'a. Class President Philomathcan; Educational Association. “For he's the best of little fellows.” We all raise our hats to you, friend Gale. We are proud of you, and ever wish you well. As a class president you have done your duty, as only a worthy president could have done it. What power is it that you have, “Westie,” when it comes to making friends? Tell us the secret of that charm. Is it supernatural? Where did you get that convincing manner in debate? You always make us change our minds when you hold the floor. As a public speaker, you are surely fine. “Westie,” you're a good old scout—you’re popular with the class, especially one member of it. No party is complete without you and that proverbial old Ford's “Honk! Honk!” Good-bye, West! Good-bye, old friend! E’en now we miss you and your happy smiles.

This is Fliss—our dear, true Fliss—the girl who is a friend to all. She has ever been a prominent member of class '18. We were glad to welcome her as such in the Fall of ’ll), when she came as an honor student from Sharon High School. Was there ever a merrier girl than Fliss? Her ringing laugh is music to the ears. But she has her sterner moods; just watch her on the basketball floor. As leader of our Red Gross work, Fliss shows great executive ability. Her work in our Literary Society has been invaluable. In short, Fliss, broadminded, generous, industrious, is a most esteemed member of our class. As to her personal affairs, her favorite color is “Black.” MABEL WHITMIRE East Butler, Penn’a. Philomathcan; Junior Orchestra; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A. Peer loving, sweet, and kind. These are the things she brings to mind. Mabel, who is generally known as “Mab,” joined our class in the Fall of ’14. Mabel is a very quiet girl who thinks that a call during quiet hour means that “Mab will be nut on her limits.” She is greatly interested in the study of Latip; and she is especially interested in the word “Ren.” Mabel is very musically inclined. Her work in Junior Orchestra has been especially commendable. I am sure that you’ll all join with me in wishing Mabel a happy and successful life. 58 OLIVE CARRY WHITMIRE East Butler, Penn'a. Philomathean; Glee Club; Junior Orchestra; Normal Band. “For she in just the quiet kind.” “Ollic” enlisted with our ranks in the Fall of ’14. She has been with the class through all of its struggles and hardships—to say nothing of its pleasures—from its infancy until its “great day,” Commencement. Olive is studious, but even if she does have this unusual gift, she finds both time and place for fun. Olive has in her heart a deep love for music. She is endeavoring to satisfy this love by taking active part in our various organizations. Keep and stimulate your desire for music, Olive, for many a noble life has found a noble beginning from such a noble source. RHODA ELLEN YOCKEY A von more, Penn’a. Bryant; Glee Club; Chorus. Here is our beloved and esteemed classmate, Rhoda. Before she joined our numbers, she once made a prophecy. The words of the prophecy are a follows: “I, Rhoda Yockcy, will be particularly interested in an unusual class.” Accordingly, her prophecy came true when she seized the opportunity and entered S. R. as an ’18 student. Rhoda is one of our quiet, brilliant classmates. She is brilliant for two reasons: one of these being that wisdom is naturally hers. Then, too, her brilliancy is aided by her hard, intensive work, for Rhoda is an earnest student. Her ambitions are high; in fact, Rhoda is one of our many “worth-while girls. May the light of success ever smile upon her as well as her worthy ambitions. ORA ZEHNER New Casti.k, Penn’a. Philomathean; Y. W. C. A.; Girls’ Chorus; Glee Club; Educational Association; Basketball. Ora graduated from New Castle High, and thirsting for more knowledge, she joined our class in the Fall of '17.

When it comes to sports. Ora is especially fond of basketball, tennis, and dancing. In her school work, she most enjoys drawing and that part of Nature Study which tells about .hc “Martins.” We have heard that Ora anticipates spending a part of her life in Porto Rico teaching “young ideas how to sprout. 69 At the Front Early in our school year it was necessary for us to give tip our Vice President when “Red Bailey answered the call to the colors. Xot long after this, our esteemed President. Clare Book, also entered the service of his country. The last one of our class to go was Ifosea Gold, who left us only a short time before Commencement. We as a class are justly proud that we are represented in the active service of our country by three of our own members, and we shall ever remember them although they may be far from our midst.

Marie Schott, Margaret Klein (.'lass Medley and Yell. X Class Prophecy Grand-daddy, tell us a story,” whispered tiny Kate as she climbed on the old man's knee. “A story, my dear Kate? W on’t that sunny head of yours ever tire of Grand-daddy’s yarns? replied the old gentleman as he gently stroked her silken curls. No, no, you dear old Grand-father. How could we ever tire of you and those wondrous talcs of the mermaid sea? Do tell us one to-night. Tell us of the beautiful Butterfly that died on the Cherry Blossom I.an l. At this the soft sweet voice trailed away—lost in the fancy of her happy dreams. As the eyes of the old man turned towards those of the speaker, his own became covered with a dewy mist. Surely Kmily—sweet, dreamy Kmily— was a living picture of another Kmily whose face, though still tender, was covered with the lines of care. “Now Grand-dad, don’t tell about them there fairies in Emily's head. We want somethin' real. Who wants to hear about little fat brownies and shiver in’ spirits all the time?” piped up Jim. the only true ' grown-up in the Searing household. All right. Jim: how’d you like a story of your old Grand-dad and his school friends of the days 18?” queried the grave old gentleman, with a far-away look on his sainted face. “ Tis the very thing, came the answer. Why have you not told it before?” ’Twas in the year ’18. mused the old man. that ninety «� f us graduated from normal. Yes—’twas Slippery Rock Normal, which is situated down in old Pennsylvania. We were a happy lot then—not one of us had seen much of sorrow. How well do I recall our Class President! He was a wonderful fellow. We all thought that he’d make something fine, and sure enough, he did not disappoint us. ’Twas in 1(M3 that Gale was elected Governor of our state by an overwhelming majority. He thus served us for four long years— and that to great advantage. When sweet Alice Tallant, our Rditor-in-Chief, gave her farewell address that day, little thought I. then, of her marrying the Spanish Prime Minister. This she did. though, after having won fame as a great opera singer. Then there was Quay Hllenberger—we used to call him Q. 1).’ We all thought that he’d become an astronomer, but here, didn't he turn out a horse jockey! Next in order is Miss Ora Zchner. She was a pretty brunette. They say that she’s now in Molokai, where she has affected a cure for the leper. Ruthene Barkey was a fair-haired little lady. She used to be so fond of Physics. She now has Professor Moore’s place, where, tis rumored, she expounds great knowledge.” But. Grand-daddy, interrupted young Jimmie, weren't there ever any soldiers in your class? ’Pears to me there ought to be since Old Bill Kaiser was defeated then. “That’s right, Jamie, there were. I'm glad that you reminded me.—for— you see, 1 had almost forgotten. Let me think. There were Book, Bailey, and Goldie. Book was our first class president. My, but he was a wonderful fellow ! lie now is drawing a pension of several thousand a year. As for Bailey, 63 our rc l-hea le l vice-president, he lives on a farm with sweet Mary. Twas in a sea skirmish ofT our Eastern coast that Red sighted and sunk a torpedo. The nation will forever praise him. Gold. our last boy to go. holds still to the memory of Addabclle. 'I'hey say he was a good husky soldier. A great misfortune befell him. though, at the capture of Perlin. 'Twas in this battle that llosea lost his left limb. Mid Humes.” continued the old man. was our popular musical student. She now has charge of the Kdgewood Deaf and Dumb School, which is situated—as you know—in Pittsburgh. Her room-mate. Hazel Porter, became a noted artist. Her finest work was the frescoing of the dome in Saint Paul's Cathedral. Porter McCandless was also my classmate. Let me see—yes. he became a great clown, lie now owns stock in some circus. Then there was jolly Rachel Irwin. She now lives on a ranch .out in Texas. As for Olive Sutter, her chum, she won fame as the champion player of tennis. Karl Iffert was a cute little fellow. 11 is name has been annexed to that of Pickerings. Now the sign reads. Pickering and Iffert. Sara Swcetapple was our first Pennsylvania woman representative in Congress. There she did commendable work in furthering the plans of her constituency. Kthcl Pitzer is now a great singer. To hear her, one must pay five dollars a night. Gayl Stotlcr. another of our black-haired lassies, became a fashionable milliner in London. Pis said that she and her assistants, Mary Adzima and Carrie Kthel, design all of the queen’s lovely bonnets. However, 'twas Catherine Walsh and Ksther Povard that created quite a furore some time ago. You see, they resurrected the Slippery Rock Sun and made it a paper of great merit, in the year P'38, a great call went out over the country for kindergarten specialists. Slippery Rock State Normal was not long in answering this call. Virginia Redman. Kaune Smith, and Pearl Day were among the first to take up the good work. Opal Studebaker. one of our youngest class members, did a most unusual thing some six years ago. Mind you. she bought out Penny Stillwagon's Five and 'Pen Cent Store! It is rumored that she is coining money at a great rate. Just ten years ago, Hazel Thomas and Annette Kellerman competed for the world's diving record. Needless to say. Hazel won the championship as well as a beautiful silver loving cup. Alice Christy. Twilia Fruit, and Herbert Scott are now in India. They have become famous missionaries. Twas just recently that I read of their converting one thousand and six Prahmins in one day. Yes: I read it in last week's Christian Herald. Mary Rhea and F.tta Thompson also conceived a liking for foreign climes. They are now in Mexico where they are engaged in archaeological explorations. In the class of '18. there were two unusual souls. Kach one admired the other—and this admiration only kept on growing after graduation days had ceased. Now. Arthur and Fliss are comfortably settled in a cozy little home in Cumberland. Susie I veil, the noted ventriloquist, was visiting them only a few days ago. Ruth Kerr. also, entered into the holy bonds of matrimony. Phis night—a year ago—she had the title of Paronness fall upon her shoulders. Four of mv class-mates were very fond of adventure. Accordingly these four—Veronica Allen, our sweet Vice-President: Marie Schott, her room-mate; Ilo Orr, and Nellie lack—set out for Alaska eight years ago. Well, do you know, only three of them came back. You see. Nellie fell in love with an Eskimo— she is still in Alaska, 1 guess. No returned with a dear little dog. which she named Fritz, while Marie and Veronica reached the United States with a wondrous scheme for preserving ice. Wilmina Reynolds, a second Hattie Green.” donated fifty thousand dollars towards the establishment of a national ( 4 crematory at W ashington : probably she believes in cremation. The two Whitmire girls. Olive and Mabel, own a florist’s shop in Pittsburgh. The roses, which they sell, are said to be the most beautiful in America, lessie Stewart, another class-mate, always did have a peculiar love for cats. She now owns a “Cattery” in the Catskill Mountains. Here she is chief matron. Laura Infield, ('.race McFatc, and Dacic Smale are her kind assistants. Several of my good school-mates were interested in cooking. Among these were Helen Kvle. Kthel Reno, Martha Maharg, and Lola Hobaugh who are all out in Los Angeles now. serving in a Chinese restaurant. The only one of my class-mates who did not fare so well was old Bill Turner. He was forced to pay Velma Meanor fifty thousand dollars for breach of promise. The judge who presided over his ease was none the less than Mary Dunn. Yes—even the women arc judicial officials these days. Theodora Pollock is the greatest voice teacher of the day. Some of her most famous pupils are Mabel Kauffman, Melba Mc-Geary, Jessie Brittain, and Kva Steward. These all have sung in the Metropolitan Opera House. Mary Buchanan always was a wonderful girl. Thirty years ago she attracted much attention by marrying Villa, the Mexican outlaw. She succeeded in making an unusually passive creature out of him. Xow he is the head of the Mexican government. Rhoda Yockey. Lois Campbell. I’earle Gold, and Minnie Snyder are on his advisory staff. Bernice Dimit became a noted horse doctor. She cured the best pacer in America of a most terrible malady. This horse's name was Irene Gates—so called, you know, after one of my class-mates, who walked around the world in thirteen days. Who owned the horse, did you ask? Well, let me see. 1 think it was Marv Cole. She lost all of her husband's fortune at the Long Island races. Hazel Sherwood was one of our religious fanatics. She wrote a new version of the ”Five Talants —the one t which she gave particular attention was the Tallant of James. The publishing house which accepted her new article was the one which is owned by Martha Donaldson and Guyla W ebber. Mabel Davis, Ruth Badger, and Anna Blevins are three of our most popular movie stars. They all take the vampire parts. Minnie Bell was always such an ambitious girl that I never could understand why she became a paper-hanger. Mabel Vartutm. Florence Thompson, and Marie Brings bought out that great clothing store of Siegal and Cooper. Laura I lumphreys is their chief buying agent. Margaret Klein, with the aid of Margaret Lowery, has compiled a new dictionary. They call it the “Vocabulary Output of the Two 'Pegs’.” Three of my good friends—Gladys Along, Edna Patterson, and Martha Kicster—own a barber shop here in town. I see them every week as I go to get shaved. Rhae Herron is now one of America’s best photographers. The portraits of Kthel Pearce. Laura Hughey, and Elizabeth Phillips, the famous ballet dancers, are hanging in her studio. The story of my class-mates is almost finished.” spoke the old man as he gazed into the ruddy fire before him. Four others of my friends, Lois I lineman. Lena W arner. Ethel Thompson, and Florence Hughes found the Fountain of Youth for which old Ponce de Leon long sought.” The Fountain of Youth? And were they the only ones that found it? whispered a subdued voice near the old man’s side. Turning, the old gentleman—the venerable Searing—looked into the smiling face of sweet Emily— sweet Emily Mohr. Xo, dear Emily.” he answered, they were not the only ones. You and 1 have found it—for that same fountain—the Fountain of Youth—is also the Fountain of Happiness. R. R.

Because we were not allowed to organize, very little of imjx rtance was done during our first and second years in Slippery Rock Normal. Nevertheless, we were busily laying the foundation of the glorious structure which now stands under the banner of 1919. Many High School graduates joined our class during the fall term. 1917. and with these renewed forces our class broke into full prominence. On Novembers. 1918. we organized and elected Reardon West as president of our class. Under his leadership the voice of the Juniors became important in school affairs. We have been very successful in athletics, our lx� ys making stars in both the football and basketball teams; our girls showing real enthusiasm and skill in playing basketball. The Junior party and Junior “Prom gave evidence of our social ability and at the same time, we have not lagged behind in scholarship. Wc are earnestly trying to do our part in making every undertaking of this school a success, ami we hope we have in some measure achieved our aim —“To make Slippery Rock State Normal School better for our being here.

The rich, mellow, September’s sun never shone more brightly than it did that day when this small band of students arrived at the landing. These, like all other Freshmen, were green as grass, and during the first few days, many of them spent their time in wandering alxutt the campus and gazing in awe at their upper classmen. Nevertheless, the year spent as Freshmen was enjoyed bv everyone. In September. 1917. the enrollment was increased by a number of recruits from various high schools, and on January 3, 1918. the class deemed themselves worthy to l c called the class of 1920. 'Flic officers elected were President. Wade V. Winner: Vice-Presidnet, Kugenc Hartzell; Secretary. Elizabeth Brunton: and Treasurer. W'cndell Magee. To celebrate the organization of the class, a sled load was held on the following evening. Four large, cozy sleds filled with merry Sophomores glided over the snow-covered hills to Jacksville. This event will never be forgotten by those who participated. This class is bound to bring honor and credit to the Normal School because it contains members who are here for good work, and they all realize that they will soon go “Out on the quiet harbor into the open sea.” w. w. w. 74 Freshman Class Freshman History (Short But Sweet) In September. 1917. there arrived in Slippery Rock, via Keisters, a throng of young ladies and gentlemen, the like of which the school has never seen. Naturally, they were all a little green, but after a few weeks of association with the highly educated Seniors, this look wore olT. Under the careful guidance of Miss McComh and Professor Allison, they soon learned the rules of this most noble Institution. Our bunch returned home at Christmas a very great improvement on the bunch which arrived in September. When we returned to school after our vacation, we discovered a number of strangers within our fold. They were cordially welcomed, and quickly became a part of us. Near the end of the W inter term, we met and with the aid of Prof. Cook, organized our class. The officers elected were: President ......................Ernest Jack Secretary....................Helen Withrow Treasurer....................Walter Barber The first step toward success has been taken. The next step in that direction will be to the rank of Sophomore. We sincerely liojje that all the members of our class will be wearing “Cap and Gown on the chajK-1 stage in June, 1921. 77 Mom School 7 -jEU S—rf t—rT Y. W. C. A.

A. of Slippery Rock Normal was organized in the Fall term of 1917. but did not begin its active service until after the Christmas vacation. We hope the organization has proved to be a source of pleasure and enjoyment as well as a source of religious training. The purjxise of the organization is to unite the girls in loyalty to Jesus Christ, and to enlist their devotions in the religious work of the school. To this end the joint cabinet of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. have worked. On every Sunday evening a vesper service was held from 6:15 to 7:00. having, as speaker usually a visitor, and either one of the lx ys or girls conducting the devotional exercises. Usually there were special musical numbers, and the singing was conducted by two girls throughout the year. The weekly religious services were at first held in the chapel, but later, by request, a regular Y. Y. C. A. room was equipped in the ladies' dormitory. The Bible study was held in connection with Dr. Hamm's Bible Class. On Monday evening, from 6:15 to 7:00. a story hour was enjoyed by all attending it in the ladies' reception room. Tuesday evening one member of our cabinet assisted the music teacher and physical director in having games in the gymnasium. The Social Service chairman was in charge of the Red Cross room of the school, which was opened every Monday and has done very creditable work. Til all. the Y. VY. C. A. is to l e congratulated, but it has an outlook for greater things in the coining years of Slippery Rock State Normal. V. A. R. 81 Y. M. C. A.

The object of the association has been to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school life a high moral sentiment, and to bring students into a personal relationship to Jesus Christ and build them up in Christian character. Kverv Wednesday evening the association has held half-hour devotional meetings, from which a great deal of educational and spiritual benefit has been derived. The Y. M. C. A. has met jointly with the Y. W. C. A. and has helped to conduct a series of Sunday evening vesper services in the chapel. Besides caring for the spiritual welfare of its members, the Y. M. C. A. through it cabinet, has provided for the social entertaining of its members during the other evenings of the week. The foundation of the Young Men’s Christian Association has been laid, and it is earnestly hoped that each year will see a larger and more general interest manifested in the organization. The Y. M. C. A. offers to its members an opportunity for active, vital. Christian service and training, an opportunity, a duty, which every vigorous, wide-awake. God-fearing, student will recognize. E. I. 83 Bible Class Committee The Bible Class The students Bible Class, one of our most helpful organizations, was organized in the 1 all of 1897. and has had a successful career ever since. 'I'he class has always been well attended, but especially has this been the case during the past two years. An attendance contest has been carried on between the different classes of the school. The Junior class of '17 won in the contest of last year. 'Pile Bible Class meets in the Chapel every Sabbath evening at 4:45 for three quarters of an hour. It is under the direction of l)r. G. I,. Hamm, who has been the teacher ever since the organization of the class twenty-one years ago, and whose instruction is appreciated by all who attend the meetings. For several years past, the course of study has included the study of the Pentateuch during the Fall and Winter terms, and of one of the C� os| els during the Spring term. Dr. Hamm has included the study of “'Pile Social Teachings of Jesus in connection with the Bible Study of the recently organized Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. «4 M. F. R. 85 Pinuoi.vriifcAx Literary Society Philomathean Literary Society The Philomathean Literary Society, tlur well-known rival of the Bryants, has come through the gauntlet this year with colors llying. Never before has such a spirit of enthusiasm pervaded the whole 1x dv of its members, it can all he accounted for by the fact that we came back to our old hall in the Fall term, and made use of the inspiration left there by our fellow members a long time ago. Xow there is an atmosphere of comfort, a sense of being in our own hall, at home, which was lacking in the chapel. In reference to the literary work done in the society—certainly this has been the very best record credited to us yet. Our meetings are held weekly and the programs have had all the elements of instruction, interest, and originality possible, carried out by the most earnest work on the part of the performers. Xo one will forget our evenings spent with the master musicians which aided 11s so much in the interpretation of their work: nor will they forget the vivid stories of the operas and dramas: the hours with W ashington. Lincoln, and Shakespeare, in that short month of great men: nor the evenings when the Seniors entertained us so pleasantly and we felt just a little prouder that we were Seniors:—then our Junior Xiglu and Girls Night, followed by (who will forget) the Boys' Night or rather Sunday Afternoon.” One thing which has helped to keep the Philos in the foreground is the brilliant edition of the “Philo Gem. a weekly paper which keeps 11s in touch with everything worth while in fashions, customs, and current events. Since the new start we made this year has turned out so successfully, we feel that we can leave the school, confident that the Philomathean Society will progress rapidly in the hands of our fellow meml ers still here, and that we shall always look forward to visits to S. R.. if only to be present at one more meeting. 87 M. F. B. BKYAKT IjITKRARY SOCIKTY X Bryant Literary Society The year of 1918 has been a memorable one in the history of the Bryant Literary Society. Never since its founding in 1896. has there lieen exhibited such enthusiasm and interest in literary work. This new spirit was partly brought alxnit by reinstating the Society in its old hall in the Main Building. There the Bryant Society meets weekly and presents a true literary program. I •'.very member of the Society is urged and encouraged to perform. Some special features of our programs have been the debates and general discussions. All members are given an opportunity to participate in these debates, which have thereby become a means of real literary training. Another interesting feature is the “Bryant Echo.” the Society paper, which presents in concise form all the weekly school and town news. Music, both vocal and instrumental, is given an important place on the programs, and the Normal Orchestra has contributed many enjoyable numbers from time to lime. The value of literary training in a school can not Ik overestimated. The Bryant Literary Society is coming to realize this more and more and is striving as never before to provide this training for its members. Under the able supervision of Professor Cook and I)r. Eisenljcrg it has entered ujx n a new career of service and is. true to its motto, “seeking higher things.” A. P.

In the opening year. 1899. there was only an instrumental course of music offered to the students, and Miss Lizzie Marshal was the worthy instructor. The equipment was sufficient and as the work was thoroughly organized. it was successful. In the following year, vocal music was introduced and Miss Louise Schwall came to render her valuable service to the struggling lovers of music, while Mrs. Margaret Pomeroy became the instrumental teacher. In the year of 1899. Garnet Karl Anderson was the vocal and instrumental instructor. 'I'wo years later, Lucy Bell, from the Royal Academy, London, was installed as our instrumental teacher, while Lyman S. Leason became the vocal instructor. Miss Bell remained in our department until 1906 and Mr. Leason until 1914. Mr. Leason is a composer of several well known songs. The year 1916 saw a great increase in the number of piano students. In fact, it was necessary to secure two teachers. We were fortunate enough to obtain Edith Lacy ( Leipzic) and Ella Warner, a graduate of New England Conservatory. Violin lessons were given by Stella Mason. In 1910. Sarah Dewy, a graduate of Berlin Conservatory, took charge of the instrumental work. In 1911, May Dutson of the Royal Academy. London, came to give her valuable instruction in hand culture. The following year. Intel Geraldine Beach, a graduate of the Institute of Musical Art, X. Y., became our instructor and Miss Herd took charge of the vocal course. They remained with 11s until 1917. when Miss Cordelia Sutton, of Damrasch School. Xew York, and Miss Xancv Canan of Cornell University, came to devote their time to the music students of Slippery Rock. These teachers have been here during our Senior year also. They have accomplished a great deal in the building up of our musical courses. We have thoroughly enjoyed both the instrumental and vocal recitals that have been given by the pupils of these efficient teachers. The aim of the department of music is. not only to fit for advanced work the student who wishes to make music his profession but also to provide an intelligent musical education to those who tnav not intend to follow music as a vocation, but who wish to take up a study of the art. 96 M. A. II. Girls' Gu Cum ? Choral Work During the week of February joi!i. the people of the surrounding com-munitv were invited to unite with the Normal School in celebrating the National Week of Song. Kach evening the communit) gathered in the chapel and enjoyed an hour’s singing of patriotic songs, old fashioned songs, and folk songs. The inspiration that these meetings gave to the people will he remembered and the time spent well worth while; It is the hope that each year we can have community choruses and that the good work may include the small towns in the immediate vicinity. The Girls Chorus is composed of all students who can sing. At their weekly meetings, community chorus work was studied as well as songs suitable for teaching in their school work. The keenest interest was taken by all and the work done was enjoyed. In the community singing the Girls Chorus helped to make it a success, and the special work of the Community chorus is to get ready for our yearly Week of Song. The Girls' Chorus numbered one hundred and seventy-eight girls, the largest membership in the history of the chorus. The Girls' (dee Club, numbering almost a hundred, is composed of all girls who have had at least one year’s experience in chorus work. Kach year a concert is given in which selections from oratorios and operas are given. These concerts are a social feature and are thoroughly enjoyed by the student body. 'Phe Girls’ Choral Club is composed of twenty-four girls who have qualified as to ability and voice. They give one or two concerts in very advanced work each year. They furnish music for our vesper services and all programs needing special music. As most of the club are soloists, these girls are in great demand as soloists, and in duet. trio. |uartct. or octet work. They assist the orchestra in one concert, and at Commencement time give a joint Concert with the Normal Orchestra. 99 The Slippery Rock State Normal Band The S. R. S. X. Hand was organized in the Fall of 1917. A meeting was called for all those interested in Band work, w hich resulted in the forming of a hand of ten members. Other students, wishing to join the Band later, procured horns and studied under the director. Miss Ritner. Thus the Band was steadily increased in membership. At the first Orchestra Concert of the year, the Band made its first formal appearance in a .preliminary concert. Later the played for football and basketball games. On March eighteenth, the first formal concert was given, a splendid program being rendered. The following is the personnel: Solo Cornel Solo Alto Marian Ritner. Ruth Harvey Lodema McCullough p'irst Cornet Trombones Norman Patterson, Muriel Johnston Frank Heyl, Richard Patterson, Second Cornet Wallace McCullough Ernest Jack Drums Third Cornet Kenneth Hawks, Ward Gardner Olive Whitmire I OPKMa McCui.i-OUGH, Accompanist Nancy E.

R. 100 Our Orchestra The Orchestra was organized on the twenty-second day of November, nineteen hundred seventeen. It was composed of the following members: FlOYD L. Fox, Lender Solo Obligato Violin Floyd L. Fox First Violin Genevieve McCreary, Jack McCullough Second Violin Esther Bovard, Lolo Hobaugh, Hazel Porter, Anna McKibbin Clarinet Harold Wilson Solo Cornet Marian Ritner First Cornet Lodema McCollough Second Cornet Ernest Jack, Muriel Johnson Norman Paterson Trombone Frank Heyl First Piano Mildred Humes Second Piano Florence Whitehead Miss Nancy E. Canan, Director The first appearance of the season was at the inauguration of the new principal, Dr. J. Lin wood Eiscnbcrg, on September twenty-second. The organization played at all the different events of the school and gave the first concert of the season in the chapel, December eighth. On February sixteenth of the new year, the second concert was given with great success. The orchestra then prepared for the commencement music. The commencement music included: joint concert of the Girls’ Choral Club and Orchestra, Baccalaureate music, Class Day exercises. Alumni meeting, and Commencement exercises. This ended a strenuous but happy year's work. I I 101 Choral Club Senior Girls' Quartette Re BA R. Cam pbei.L, Soprano Lois K. Mini:man, Mezzo Soprano 102 Alice P. Tallant. Contralto Mildred A.

On the evening of March 10. 1917. the Juniors made their way to the Gymnasium which was beautifully decorated in the class colors, purple and white. The first part of the evening was taken up in seeing how many names and addresses of classmates we could secure, in a tastily decorated little folder provided bv the Entertainment Committee. Then the company was divided into small groups and a contest was held to see which group could do the most original stunt. Among the most noteworthy of these was Write Searing's picking potato bugs, and Professor Stewart's extremely dramatic rendition of “Twinkle. Twinkle. Little Star. Then, as a grand climax, came the refreshments, which had been successfully guarded from the Seniors. After listening to some of Dr. Murphy's well told stories, we all came home, feeling that we had not only had a fine time, but that we had come to know manv of our classmates better and in a different wav. E. M. Bible Class Party In their usual enterprising manner, the Juniors won the inter-class contest for attendance at Bible Class. In recognition of this, the other three classes gave them a party in the Gymnasium on the fourth of June. The entertainment was begun by the Juniors' executing a triumphal march around the gymnasium, after which they formed in a double line making an archway with their arms, which the other classes passed through. So the Juniors were formally declared victors. After this, many old-fashioned games were played. Then came the splendid refreshments which everyone enjoyed, although they were not the climax of the evening as usual, for there was something much better coming. When all were through eating, all the lights in the building were put out. and a camp lire constructed of electric lights covered with fine boughs, was built in the center of the floor, around which the company sat. Then we told ghost stories and sang old-fashioned and patriotic songs, and Dr. Gisenberg. then Principal-elect, gave his first talk to the student lxxly. Then as a fitting close to this well spent evening, all rose and clasped hands: so standing in one large circle every one sang from his very heart. “Blest Be the Tie That Binds. ’ E. M. 104 Senior Corn Roast Last Kail, as soon as all we Seniors had returned to school, and we had. in some measure, accustomed ourselves to the dignity of the |X sition, we decided for one evening to run away from the cares of this work-a-day world, and enjoy ourselves. Accordingly, it was decided that this enjoyment should take the form of a “corn roast.” and Cooper’s Grove was selected as the place. So. late one beautiful afternoon, we set out with bushels of corn and nearly as many sandwiches and pickles. We all enjoyed the walk, but oh. how good the cool, green grove looked after our travel over the dusty roads! Oh, class of '18. will you ever forget how beautiful that big bonfire was or how delicious the corn roasted in it tasted or how many sweet pickles Hosca Gold ate? When we had thus refreshed ourselves, we all sat around the fire, told stories, and ate more corn. And then, just because it was such a beautiful night, and we were around a bonfire, the most natural place for real Americans, we sang all our patriotic and old-fashioned songs. A duet by our chaperons. Miss Canan and Professor Stewart, was very much enjoyed. Then we ended up by a snake dance around the fire, singing We'll Hang Bill Kaiser to the Sour Apple Tree.” The journey home through the moonlight was a fitting close to the evening, which made us feel that it was worth while being a Senior, if only to go to the Senior Corn Roast. E. M. 105 Senior Sled Load Who ever saw so much snow as we had the winter of 1918? I hit you never found the Seniors complaining. Xo indeed, they set to work to make use of it. instead. Accordingly, a sled load was planned, and one crisp night in January a jolly crowd of Seniors left the landing in five loads, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Allison. Miss McComb. Miss Frisbee and Miss Foster. How we enjoyed that ride in the moonlight over the glistening snow with our songs and yells adding to the merry din of the sleigh bells! At last we arrived at the V. C. T. U. Hall in Jacksville. Here we unloaded with baskets containing all sorts of good things. Then having removed our wraps, we were filled with that peculiar feeling of well being which one always feels when coming in from the frosty air. So jollity reigned. We danced unmindful of the crowded floor and inability to hear the “soft strain from the Orchestra.” During the evening every one enjoyed a revival of the V irginia Reel” and “Dusty Miller,” under the able direction of Miss McComb. Hut the sight of the fat sandwiches and steaming coffee caused every one to turn from other diversions and to devote themselves to the most interesting of all entertainments.—eating. Then our chaperons decided it was time to go home. The order. All go home in the sled in which you came.” caused some people some discomfort. But after a little swapping. everything was arranged, and we all started merrily off, leaving our class yell ringing behind us. The trip home, which is never quite long enough, was enjoyed to the full, the only trouble being that it was not long enough, and so we all went to sleep that night with these words ringing in our ears: “Merrily ringing as onward we go, Laughing and singing with hearts aglow. Sliding and gliding and shouting ho! ho! Over the beautiful snow. K. M 106 X “Juniof'Senior Prom” Surd .Ifni lime, the moving time of year. When Hawthorne pink and cuckoo bird appear. 'Phis was the time of year chosen by the Juniors to invite the Seniors, soon to depart, to one last revelry which was to take the form of a Prom. The variegated colors of Spring blossoms were also suggested in the tasteful way the purple and white of the Seniors, which make one think of the delicate (lowers of early spring, were mingled with the scarlet and grev of the Juniors, suggesting the deeper, richer coloring of the summer (lowers. Against this background the gay dresses of the girls and the pleasure lit faces made a bright scene indeed. As in other festivities, our evening was begun with a dignified grand march, after which the splendid orchestra swung into a jolly one-step. Then the scene changed, the stately columns broke into circles of those who liked to trip “the light fantastic toe.” As the evening passed, lightly as if on wings, two-steps and waltzes followed. The carefree laughter of the happy co-eds mingled with the music of the orchestra brought the enjoyment of the evening to its height. And just at the perfect moment the soft, sweet strains of “Perfect Day” drifted to the cars of the dancers under the influence of which they dreamily swung through the “Home Waltz.” Thus ended the most spectacular event in the social career of the class of 'iK. E. M. 107 May Festival Our May Festival was celebrated this year by the presentation of an Historical Pageant in which nearly all the student body participated. In this pageant the chief events of history were portrayed from the time of ancient Brittain to the present war. SCENE I.

And so ended one of the epoch making events in the history of the Slippery Rock Stale Normal School. no Educational Conference Slippery Rock State Normal School has always felt a very personal interest in the members of its alumni, so in order to bring them closer to the school and to give them material aid in their teaching, it holds each year an Educational Conference. To this conference, the alumni are privileged to bring all their school problems, which they are aided in solving by the teachers in the Normal School and the School Superintendents in the surrounding counties. The first conference was held on October 27th. 1917. Many members of the alumni, especially those representing the classes of recent years, feeling the need of just such aid. availed themselves of this opjK� rtunity of improving their teaching ability. This conference was very helpful. This is its first year to both the school and teachers, and it holds forth vast opportunities for greater co-operation in the future between the school and those it sends out as teachers. Ill Oik of the most helpful organizations of our school this year lias been the Educational Association. The members of this Association are the Faculty and members of the Senior Class selected bv the Faculty. Its meetings are held the first Friday of each month at 4:15. Usually two or three members from either faculty or students give a fifteen minute talk on the subject under consideration for that meeting, and then a general discussion is held and so the subject is considered from all sides. In this way we have already made unite a thorough study of “Continuation Schools.” “The Gary System.” “The Junior High School, and the “Rural School Problem.” Also on February Nth. I)r. Robertson of the University of Pittsburgh, addressed the Association on the subject. “Keeping up Professionally. The general aim of the organization is. by the study of current Education-al Topics, to keep up to dale and to keep our outlook broadened so that we as teachers, may he ready to understand and utilize the best of the new methods which are constantly being offered to the Kducational world of today. Pittsburgh University Extension Course Through the direct influence of Dr. F.isenberg. the Slippery Rock State Normal School has gained much in the past year. One of the most noteworthy features of improvement along educational lines is the Extension Course of the Pittsburgh University. This course on “Principles of Education” is carried on by weekly lectures, which are of a practical educational value to the persons who are taking the course. I)r. Chaml ers, dean of the School of Education in Pittsburgh University, presents the lectures. Dr. Chambers is a man of strong intellect and deep thought, and so is an able instructor of the Extension Course. Almost all the memliers of the class are taking the work on a credit basis. Nearly the entire faculty are taking the work of the course together with the Seniors who have followed their motto. “Carpe Diem.” (Sieze the opportunity) by taking advantage of this course. The members of the class of 1918 who are members in the class of Extension Work are: Irene Gates. Marie Brings. Melba McGeary. Earl IfTert. Ruth Kerr. Twilla Fruit. Ruth Badger. Mary Dunn. Esther Bovard. 112 113 SJLHtrrton. Athletics Since athletics at Slippery Rock have been taken off the scholarship basis, the athletic teams have been especially good considering the fact that only lx na fide students are permitted to play. The season on the gridiron was a successful one for our team, which won three games, lost two and tied two. The season was not marked by any high scoring on either side. Slippery Rock won from her opponents 47-39. Since our coach enlisted at the end of the football season, basketball opened with a dark outlook for Slippery Rock's success in athletics during the winter term. But in spite of the fact that a coach was lacking, the fellows with the help of Prof. Stewart, put out a winning team, making 397 points to our opponents 343. The season was closed by a banquet. at which Prof. Stewart was presented a trophy cup by the team. Baseball season has hardly started in earnest. So far, we have played only two games and were victorious in lx th. brom the spirit shown by the fellows in these games. Slippery Rock need have no fear for any future game. A. H.

One received a broken limb, and the other one was called to the colors. Although Slippery Rock was weakened by the loss of the two players, she won many hard-fought games from teams out of her class. Especially interesting were the games with Franklin and Parnassus. It was in such games that Slippery Rock revealed her trite spirit. We can always see Hogan going through the line for a five-yard dash. Wc shall ever remember Stoops tearing through the opponent’s line, making way for HYert. Each man played his best and with a spirit of determination which brought us through a most successful football season. Football Score S. R 6 Evans City High vS. R 6 Apollo 6 S.

DicArmit I 118 1X9 I Basketball Basketball season ojiened with a bright outlook for a good team. As there were no scholarships, every fellow worked for a place on the team. Taking the place of our coach. Prof. Stewart took charge of the players and developed a winning team. There was only one fellow from last year and the others were new players. Although they were defeated in a few games, they proved what they were when they met their rival. Kdinborough, on our lloor. As Kdinborough had defeated our team on Edinborough's floor, our boys were ready for a hard battle when the opponents came to our floor. Stoops and Connelly, the old fall-backs of our team, proved themselves worthy of praise for the way they fought this seasons games. 120 11. S. Girls' Basketball Girls’ Basketball this season has certainly been a big success. Greatest interest and enthusiasm has been shown. Although a comparatively few have been out to represent the classes, yet those few have worked hard and had lots of “pep. We had our regular practice on Monday mornings under the splendid direction of Mrs. DeArmit. At first, some of us did not like the idea of playing Girls’ Rules, for we had been accustomed to playing under Boys’ Rules, but after we had played a few times on the divided floor, we liked it very much. The girls were organized into class teams, namely Senior. Junior. Sophomore. and Freshman. The members of each of the teams met and elected their captains. The captains of the teams were, respectively. Hazel Thomas. Genevieve McCreary. Evelyn Alter, and Ethel McBride. Probably the reason for the great enthusiasm was our having class teams. At least it seemed that way on the night of the big game between the Seniors and Juniors, when there was the best rooting that had been here all winter. II. I. T. 121 Girls' Junior Senior Game Worthy opponents of school athletics should he unusually proud of the progress made by our Girls Ilasketball Teams during the past season. Under the able leadership of Coach Mrs. DeAnnit we all worked with great zeal, and our one open game. Seniors vs. Juniors, showed that our work was not in vain. 'file purple and white waved wildly over one side of the crowded Gymnasium. while the cardinal and gray repeated the waves on the other side. The whistle blew and a most exciting game followed. With the splendid work of their captain. Genevieve McCreary, the Juniors showed undivided team work, in which each player was a valuable part of one great machine. The ball seemed like a mere plaything in the lingers of the Juniors, who expected to win glory for the Cardinal and Gray. ’ The interest in the game was keen throughout the first half and the score stood 8-3 in favor of the Juniors. However, there came a turning point in the second half. The Seniors were gaining! W ith the fine work of their captain. Hazel Thomas and the splendid guarding of Florence Whitehead, the all powerful spirit of success seemed to sweep over their team. After a short period of hard playing on the part of both teams, the score stood tie. From that on each team worked as it had never worked before, each determined to win the victory. Imagine the joy of the Seniors when the game ended 10-9 in their favor. To mention individuals who were especially active in the game would be difficult. Without exception the girls all exerted their very best efforts. This has proven that if we decide to do real work, we can and will. Too much credit cannot he given Mrs. DeAnnit for her very efficient supervision of the work. Her interest and co-operation with the girls did much for their success. O. E. Z.

On account of the Saxigena's going to the press so soon, we cannot predict a winning team, but by the appearance of the players on the field we feel positive that a successful season is before us. As we do not have scholarships, every fellow out is trying to win himself a place. The team is composed almost entirely of new players. Two from last year's team are playing and the others belong to last year's second team. Our pitching staff is somewhat weak, but I think after they get into the game we will be able to oppose any team within our class. We are unable so early in the season to give a list of all our games. Westminster ................................. pril 27 Vandergrift H.
