The Senior Slippery Rocket 21 ADA ARMSTRONG Clerk Retired Members of the Faculty The Class of 1021 express I heir gratitude to these two men. Mr. John Calvin Ricketts and Mr. Isaac Newton Moore, who spent so many successful years in the service of our Normal School. For them, each one of us has only best wishes. MR. JOHN CAI YIN RICKLI I S Mr. Ricketts began his teaching in Slippery Rock State Normal School the day it was opened, March 2 . lSf-9, and taught continuously till June 22, 1920, a record held by Mr. Ricketts alone. Practically his entire career was given to teaching mathematics, for which he became known over the entire western half of the State. During the more than thirty-one years that he was connected with the school, Mr Ricketts had in his classes from one to seven terms each of the J.048 graduates of the school except live, and thousands of others who did not complete the course. Mr. Ricketts will always be remembered as a teacher who labored systematically and conscientiously to broaden the minds of all students who came under his guidance. MR ISAAC NI AVION MOOR I W ith the exception of three years which he taught in Westminster College. Mr. Moore was a teacher in the Slippers Rock State Normal School from March 26. IXK . to June 22. 1920. During fourteen years of his career at this place he was vice-principal of the school and for one year was acting principal. As a teacher Mr. Moore is best known in the field of science, although he was well versed in Creek and Latin. He has impressed his students with a wonderful grasp of definite knowledge, not onlv in the particular line to which he was for the time devoted, hut also in the field of general knowledge.
