When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a class to dissolve the scholastic bonds which have connected them with a school and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and distinct positions to which the laws of nature and of school boards entitle them, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident—that all men. including teachers, are created equal: that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights: and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights plans are instituted among this class deriving their just powers from the consent of the oppressed members: that whenever any form of restriction becomes destructive to these it is the right of this class to alter or to abolish it. and to institute new government laying its foundation on such principles as absolute and separate independence, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their salaries and contracts. The faculty, indeed, will dictate that a government long established should not be changed for light and transient reasons but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing the Class invariably from 7:45 A. M. to 10:00 P. M. for four years, evinces a design to reduce The Class under a reign of absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such tyranny and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of this Class, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their present system of government. The history of our present rulers. The I acuity, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of improvements over our previous mental conditions, lo prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world. (1) Scarcely had we gathered ourselves into this Land of Learning when by the king of the land. I)r. J. I.inwood bisenberg, we were summoned and advised to organize. Prom that time on we have paid dues increasingly and unceasingly. (2) They, the rulers of this land, allowed domestic insurrections among us. and left unrestrained among us the merciless Sophomores whose rule of warfare is. ‘T distinguishable destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions of Freshmen!” i V) I hey have dissolved play plans repeatedly. I hey did not refuse, however, after such dissolutions, to allow other plans to be made, and as a result two plays of high standard were presented. As Juniors we presented The House Next Door.” and much honor was placed upon our heads. In 1022. our Class, again desiious of histrionic fame delved into old Sixtyom- The Saxigen a Grecian chronicles and brought forth a drama known as Pygmalion and Galatea ' And again, we were overwhelmed by the praises of the multitudes. (4) These tyrants have, during our stay in this land, erected a multitude of new subjects and brought hither swarms of teachers to harass The Class. (5) They effected these things without the consent of The Class. (6) They kept among us in times of peace standing restrictions without our consent and approval. (7) They have obstructed the administration of many diversions: skipping classes, late hours, midnight lunches, more than seven dates per week, and other innocent pleasures: but even with these refused our history is not without its tales of merry-making. I he second year of our sojourn here is well marked in the minds of many of us by our snowy pilgrimage to the somewhat distant city of Jacksville. Many were the sandwiches devoured by the greedy people and great was the merriment. Two festivals mark the third year of our stay here, and still two more the last quarter of our sojourn. All this have we accomplished even in the face of yards of History of Education, stacks of themes, and lesson plans galore, thrust before our eyes bv the despots. Our struggle against this despotic faculty oppression began almost four years ago when exactly fifty-seven varieties of us. verdantl fresh from the gardens of the adjoining country, gathered ourselves together into the beginning of what is now The Class of 'll. We were fresh, as Freshmen of any merit always are. but we did what Freshmen of quality always do. we allowed the corners to be rubbed smooth, our individualities to be strengthened and blended one with another, and !o. the Seniors of '22! Thirty of our original number are yet upon the roll of more than one hundred. Three others. Mildred Harper. Jean McGarrah. and Agnes Stoughton, have extended the days of their oppression by taking the special health education course. We have reminded our unjust rulers of the circumstances of our emigration, our settlement and our desire to leave, but our petitions have been answered only by increased burdens. So. in order that we might better be banded together against this tyranny we have chosen a common seal which is worn by our members on rings, pins, and pennants. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, but they have been deaf to our pleadings. We. therefore, the members of the Class of XXII. of Slippery Rock Normal School, appealing to the populace for their co-operation and sympathy, do. in the name and by the authority of the oppressed members of The Class, solemnly publish and declare that this Class is and ought to be free and independent bestowers of knowledge. And. for the support of this declaration, with a loyalty to our Purple and Gold, we mutually pledge to our common profession, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Sixty-lwo I'he Saxigena Class Will We. the Class of 1 ( 22. being about to leave this sphere of education in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost super-human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, herein revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made. First. we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our principal with his faculty, only asking that the services be carried on with all the pomp and dignity that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our positions as Seniors of grave and reverend mien” must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Item : W e bequeath to our beloved faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long, silent watches to worn-over the uncertainty of whether this one does his I li tor of Education, or that one his Nature Study note book, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of his short story. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times hard to manage. But they have done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their reward. Item : We give and bequeath to our beloved deans. Miss Johnson, and Miss Elliott, Mr. Cook and Dr. Blaisdell. our sincere affection, our heartiest gratitude, and our eternal memory. In attempt at partial payment for all they have done for (to) us during our long years at S. R„ we make over to them, here and now. a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown beyond. We hope they were right in all they did. as yet we cannot judge. Item : Again, we give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our examination papers. We know that much of this must lx entirely new to them and would throw new light on many a hitherto familiar line of thought throughout the whole world of science and learning. If the faculty see fit. they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of all such bits of wisdom and enlightenment lor the education of the classes to come after us. This, of course, is left entirely to their personal discretion. Item : We give and bequeath to all the future denizens of these halls of learning, all the opportunities we have passed by or mislaid during our sojourn here. We further request that Dr. Eisenberg point out these opportunities to them, and encourage them in taking advantage of the same. Item : We give anil bequeath to the Junior Class our Histories of Education, our School Efficiencies,” and our nutrition note books with the parting request that they follow our worthy example and use them well and often. Sixty-threc The Saxigena Item: We likewise give and bequeath to the same Junior Class, as a student body. Iloyt Painter’s knowledge of literature, science, education, and the universe in whole or in part. W e trust the class may be able to survive it. Item : The following may seem but trilling bequests but we hope they may be accepted. not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer use them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them. 1st To Mrs. Lenhardt. the bestower of excuses and permits, all our pencils and stubs of pencils that we leave behind us in the excitement and haste of our departure, as well as our deepest thanks. 2nd. To Miss Brown, the balance in our class treasury, to be used in purchasing a pair of rubber soled shoes. W'e feel that she will need them in dealing with the classes who will be our successors. 3rd. To anyone who needs it. Pauline's bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. 4th. To some lucky fellow Red’s place in ' Mam's' affections. 3th. To the Senior Orchestra of next year our deepest sympathies in the loss they are suffering with our departure—such able men as Beach. McCollough. and W einstein. 6lh. To May Gibson, any drawing materials as well as short stories, themes, and editorials we have collected during our career here, in the hope that she may use them. Item : The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed property, to which we declare the Glass of 1923 the real and rightful heirs. 1st. Our seats in class room, chapel, and dining hall together with all wads of gum adhering thereto. May they endeavor to till them as advantageously. as promptly, and as faithfully as we have done. 2nd. Our Senior dignity. May they uphold it with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance in spite of their natural light-mindedness and irresponsibility. 3rd. l o all hits.” present or future, we do most graciously and whole heartedly bequeath our corners in the library, our posts in the halls, our campustry seats, and all schemes we tried in avoiding the watchful eyes of the faculty. 4th. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts anil thoughts of our principal and teachers. W e trust that the Class of 1923 will appreciate this as deeply as we have done, that it will be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are most loath to hand over to them. nd we do hereby constitute and appoint our Principal sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness thereof, we the Class of 1922. the testators, have to this will set our hands and seal this fourteenth day of June. Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two. Sixty-four CLASS OF XXII. The Saxigena Wheel O' Fortune Sorry, madam, your train left two minutes ago What!” I gasped. Did it pull out before time- Surely my watch is not slow Must he. madam.” grinned the trainman That means I miss my steamer that leaves Naples this evening. and utterly disgusted I turned to enter a telephone booth What will Mae say? I thought to myself as I entered. I rang, with lightning-like rapidity the connections were made and I was talking to Mae. What! You missed your train' I could hear Mae exclaim I’m sorry, but— Oh that's all right I’ll see about getting our reservations on the next steamer. I am really glad. Helen, for I have a little surprise for you. I'll meet the next train Good-bve. What could she mean? A surprise for me! I thought as I walked from the booth As I took a comfortable seat in the depot to wait for my train, my attention was drawn to a suitcase labeled II II . Polk. Penna.. I S The tag looked familiar and my eyes traveled up from the suitcase to the apparent owner, only to meet the eyes of Harry llout ami his bonny Irish wife. Hazel Denny I lout . Itaglerly I dashed forward to greet them. I had talked to them but lor a few minutes when I heard a cry. Train for Naples! t this I hurriedly left them and pressed my wa through the crowd to the train. I made m waj to the observation platform where already seated were several mcrican tourists l o nty glad surprise among them were Genevieve Cooper. Grace Dight and Mary Cheeseman. Time sped as fast as the flying wheels, and before I knew it we were in the Grande Depot of Naples Mae dashed up. drew me out of the crowd and fairly pushed me into a waiting taxi What's the rush? I exclaimed Never mind, just wait until you see what I have up at the Motel de mbassadore. Passing the I heater Palaise. Mae called my attention to the bulletin headlines. merican Artists Starring This Week. Contralto—Mary Die Yart! Reader—Ethel I ow .ey! Solo Dancer—Mary MacFarland! i his gave me some inkling as to the surprise that awaited me. I o ye. and behold! When we stepped out of the taxi there they stood waiting for us. We had dinner in Mac's suite and during the course of the dinner we found out that she was dancing in Italy that summer to get material for her new novel, and Mary and Ethel were—well, just having some fun I'wo days later found us steaming out of Naples on the good ship Olympic. I’he captain stood at attention as we passed the captain's bridge. We looked at him—and who do you think it was? Red Stoops! We had many interesting conversations during the voyage, lie told of one trip on the southern seas when they were shipwrecked on an island. I here he found Marx Martin, a docile wife of a missionary, preaching the gospel to the natives of the island. Mae told me of her trip through Paris, where she had met several friends Frances Sleigh was one of the leading modistes there and her assistants were Mary l.untz and Helen Smith, milliners, and Eunice Slawter as designer. At the Louvre she saw a piece of statuary which brought back memories of some one at Slippery Rock. I pon investigation she found Hazel McGarvey had posed for the statue which had been chipped from the block of marble by l-rancis Dugan, a noted sculptor. In the Art Gallery she had found several paintings h Hazel Kelly and Hazel Arncr. now two well known artists. Sixly-livc The Saxigena During my stay in Madrid I had the pleasure of visiting the home of Ann l:errantc. who is now happily married. She was also entertaining three other guests. Alice I'ennel. Amanda Cronin, and Pmogene Christy. At a hull light I met Mary Wilson. Katherine Ingham and Mice Hunter, who were spending the summer abroad, with Mme. Louise Spagetti. nee Everett. the famous comic opera star So our voyage passed quickly as well as pleasantly and in all too short a time west earned into New York. Vt the wharf we were greeted by cheers and veils for the bride and groom who were leaving on the Aquitania. To our joy we recognized them as Ralph I anger man and his blushing bride. Florence llunsberger Virginia GrandstalT. limma Fisher, Emmet Grove, and Dorothy Hall, who were all teaching in New York City, were among those on the wharf. We took a taxi for the Hotel McAlpin where we had engaged a suite by cablegram, and on our way through town we saw I lorn Bruce acting as a traffic cop. During our stay in New York we met Prances McDowell. Clara Taylor. Dorothea Beach, and Myrtle Gilghrist. who were social service workers. They took us to visit the new Roosevelt Hospital where Loyal llockenberrv was head surgeon Catherine Hall and Hazel Henderson were internes in the same hospital. The Public Library, where Jean Knobloch is head librarian, we discovered to be a very interesting place W e found several volumes on Rural Problems’ by Nellie I hompson. some books of fiction by Eleanor Thompson, as well as a handbook on Kindergarten Theory by Marjorie W right. Winter was coming, and as we had several months to spend until Congress opened, we decided to go south. Florida offered the strongest lure, and in a few days we were speeding southward. During our stay in Jacksonville we spent several days motoring over the wonderful roads that surround the city. One day as we were passing a large peach orchard we noticed the sign. Peaches for Sale. and went in to buy some. As we stepped out of the car at the wide entrance I saw a man coming out of the gate Instantly I recognized him as (ir old class president Why. Pierce! we cried. What? Mae and Helen! What are you doing here? we all asked at once. During our little chat Pierce said. Oh. yes. I had a letter last week from Prank Stoughton You remember him? Well, he and our old classmate. Grace Lamev, were married recently and are coming here to spend a fortnight with me. Frank always was interested in peaches and I think he may take half interest. In honor of the bride and groom Pierce gave a theater party, lo surprise the bride, her sister Vera, and her husband. Isadore Weinstein, arrived to make our party complete. There we saw Matilda Black and Leanna Prench. who were enjoying the pleasures of the south while teaching there. One morning on the piazza of the Palmetto Hotel we met Sara Phillips and Ruth Wick, who were traveling anti studying together. Sara told us of Helen McClymond’s success in the Pittsburgh schools as a gymnasium teacher, while Plorence McGearv was rapidly scaling the ladder of achievement as a handwriting supervisor in New Kensington Helena Burckart seemed to be an excellent art teacher there also. We asked about Katherine Wigton and learned of her ability as a housewife in Woodlawn (?) We planned a da of sight-seeing which proved to be very interesting. We visited Pine Vrts Hall, which is noted for industrial and fine arts we entered the door a man walked up to offer his service, the face of whom we recognized as Joseph Carter. The first pictures he exhibited for us were two landscapes. He told us these had been painted by Pauline Schmoker Vfter seeing the most interesting pictures in the fine arts room we made our way to the industrial art department. As we walked over to the demonstration counter we saw Sixty � ix The Saxigena a golden haired girl behind ihe counter. Eagerly we rushed forward to greet Kathryn Spence, who held a responsible position as demonstrator of the basketry department. She told us of l-lsie Keefer's kiII in basketry, and then we were shown some of the finished products. which were wonderful. Kathryn told us about Verna BishofT being settled in a Sweet little nest out there in the West. The next week we started for Philadelphia. The first evening after our arrival we were taken to the l ittle Theater to hear the Symphony Orchestra. You couldn't guess who was directing this wonderful band of musicians! None other than Oliver Beach! Between selections my eyes wandered to the surrounding boxes. Could that be someone I know in that box directly opposite? Yes. it was Dorothy Kramer. Kuth McMeekin. and l-.sther Mc-Collough. who were enjoying the concert ver much In our noon mail the next day we both received invitations to the tenth anniversary of our class which was graduated in 1922. Hurried preparations were made and presently we were dropped at the Grand Depot of the Pennsylvania lines at I larrisville. Here we were greeted by the reception committee composed of !ma Barnes, Margaret Studebaker and Josephine Sirianni They rushed us to North Hall, which we found had been converted into a beautiful work of architecture and where we were introduced to Dean Davison, whom we recognized to be none other than our plump little Davy. Have you seen Mack?' she inquired of us. No. is she here? Yes. I think we shall find her in her apartments adjoining the infirmary which she has charge of. The girls all certainh love Nurse McCune. I pon visiting the training school that day we found the following in charge: Mary Roberts. Kindergarten: Sara Abernethv. Primary: Gladys Cunningham. Intermediate: Waldo Dugan. Junior High: and Hoyt Painter head of the training school. In the Music Department we found lithel McBride. Yillela Stamm and Tlorence Dunning. list her Schink and Clara San key were in charge of the Health Education Department. Xclrna Nesbitt ruled the Domestic Science part of the curriculum. In the office we found Treeda Harlan. Registrar; Helen Jamison, Bursar; Secretary. Emmeline Kennedy: Business Manager, l.ois Stoops: Dietitian. Ruth Lowndes: I ibrarian. Lillian SchafTner. and-Leota Hunter. Housekeeper. At the Alumni banquet that night Mrs. Sadie Nairn gave a very clever toast in which we readily recognized the fate of several of our classmates Sara Wise was now a musician of fame, and Mary Orr. Grace Gallagher and llallie Dugan were now actresses playing the leading parts in Shakesjsearean comedies. The others of our classmates we met at the banquet were Bessie Powers. Tlorence Roberts. Hazel llykcs. Iisther Wagner. Ma erna W illiams, and 1:11a Wilson These people had attained success, wealth and happiness as housekeepers. The next day we wandered to the tennis courts and stood gazing in admiration at the slenderness and agility which onl an expert could display What! Can it be? No. surely not! Yes, it is! Myrtilla John! We chatted with her for a long time and learned from her that I la McAnlis w as w inning success as a story teller in the Carnegie Library. That afternoon Mae and I started to Pittsburgh where she was to speak the next night. Directly across from us in our Pullman, sat a woman in deep mourning. She looked up from the book she was reading—and I recognized Josie Christy. We crossed over to her, and between sobs we learned that her husband, an Lgyptian missionary, had been killed several months before in a riot at the capital, and she was home now with T'lora Dunka helping her prepare for her life work among the Egyptians. She told us that Ruth Harsh was our ambassador to byssinia. and was engaged to the Crown Prince of that empire.

On September 19. 1022. the Junior Class set sail upon the sea of knowledge at Slippery Rock with a crew of sailors one hundred and nine strong. Since no class can accomplish the many things this class has done and expects to do in the future without organization, the class met on October 20. and elected its officers, which resulted in Sammy McCullough being chosen pilot of our fleet. Our class is well represented in both literary societies as well as in all other activities. Athletics felt the inflow of a wonderfully strong stream when this class entered school. In fact with Dunn. Johnson. Kelly. Komora. McCollough and Murphy to lead in boys' athletics next year, we expect S. R. to repeat the feat of winning the championship. No less credit is due our girls. Misses Hamilton. Gilson. McCoy, Dunlap, and A. Sproul. who have helped make possible the many victories of the girls' season. After the faculty reception on September 24. the Juniors really felt that they were a part of the school. Among our other social activities have been the Junior Tea and Junior Party. We were glad to welcome to our class a number of new students at the beginning of the second semester. With the beginning that the class has its future success seems assured. On to victory! —B. L. Sevrntvonc The Saxigena Health Education Department Education should lx- three-fold: intellectual, moral and physical. It should contribute increased capacity for knowledge, greater and broader opportunities for happiness, and larger powers and vision of the responsibilities of citizenship. Intellectual development denotes ability to learn to know the truth and to develop the powers of correct thinking, speaking, and reasoning: moral development means to acquire honorable conduct, and. finally, physical development provides the proper foundation for the other two by increased health, strength and a more co-ordinated neuro-muscular mechanism. I he Physical Director, because of his close contact with pupils, must be of lofty ideals and forceful personality to exert the corrective and wholesome influence over the habits of the students in his charge Young men and women placed in a position to choose a profession will find the work stimulating, interesting and varied. It is hard to find a better calling, worthier of tilling one's life interest. The teacher of physical education is generally paid a better salary than the classroom teacher, and there are more chances of advancement to responsible positions, as a large part of the work in public schools is directed b special supervisors. The profession offers steady employment as opportunity is afforded for increasing the regular income by teaching in summer playgrounds and camps, night schools, gymnasiums, coaching teams, by corrective exercises, or by teaching in private gymnasiums and industrial centers. Every well regulated institution to be successful, has certain definite aims and standards. The Slippery Rock Normal School department of Health Education likewise has definite plans, aims and standards. The purpose is adequately to prepare students in the theory and practice of physical education in order to lit them for positions as efficient teachers, directors or supervisors in schools, playgrounds, clubs, colleges and business establishments. !o gain this all facilities and instructions necessary are ampl provided. I he teachers have been carefully chosen because of experience, ability and leadership: the practical courses in gymnastics. athletics and dancing have been made especially strong and thorough, while the theor is comprehensive and complete. I bus the plans of the school are put into effect, the aims guiding us lurnish the steps that must he maintained in order to arrive at the goal which we have firmly set our mind to reach—ending in the finished product, the teacher of physical education who possesses the powers and spirit of usefulness and service. The students of this department for the year 1921-22 are—Seniors Josie Christy. Ruth Harsh. Juniors. Mildred Harper. Jean McCarrah. gnes Stoughton. I reshmen Mabelle Dunlap. Albert Dunn. Erancis Johnson. John Komora, Mar McCov. Margaret Mc-l.aughry. Mary McL.aughry. Theodore Murphy. Ethclclaire Rhodes. Eloyd Stevenson. Dorothy Weller We feel a great lot lias been accomplished this year in our department One big advance was the adoption of a new course in Health Education outlined by the State, which gave to students at Slippery Rock a curriculum equal to that of the best schools of physical education. The standard of individual achievement was raised to correspond with requirements of other schools Opportunity was afforded for practical and supervised teaching in the elementary and secondary schools, which was of benefit not only to the student teacher but to the pupils in these departments. A general increased interest and enthusiasm was aroused in athletics and exercises for the entire student bexly Einally. there was a marked steady and systematic building up of health habits and increased powers of physical efficiency. culminating in the demonstration of March 27. showing the work done in all sections of the department HIE PROGRAM I.

Lor a short time after the normal school opened, theie was no literarv work of any kind carried on. I'he first organization was known as the Irving Debating Club” and only the boys of the school were members. It was soon realized that literary work v.as needed by the girls and a meeting was called in which the proposition was made that a new society he organized and joined to the debating club. I he club refused this proposition, and a new organization was formed, known as the Bryant Literan Society.” In the next year another society was formed under the name of the Neotrophian Society. With three societies none could lx strong; so the Irving Club and the Neotrophian Society united under the name of Philomathean. l;rom that time on the Philos have progressed. I hey. with the Bryants, were given halls in which to hold their meetings, l or a time all went well, hut the number of students increased so rapidly that the halls had to he converted into class rooms. The societies then used the chapel for their meetings, the Philos and Biyants alternating. At prerent, the societies are hack in their respective halls and the Philos are forging ahead, as successful as ever. They are the proud possessors of the cup for their literary work in the past two years, and every loyal Philo hopes to have the cup for keeps” after the contest in May. In the contest, our society will be represented by limidfe Thomas as orator, Ithel lowz.ey. as reader. Llora Dunka as essayist, and list her McCollough and Gladys Cunningham as debaters.

The society meets even Saturday evening in Bryant Hall. The first semester's society work was borne by the Seniors, but when the second semester dropped upon us we handed the reins to the Juniors. They have proved their ability and we feel assured that, much as the society will suffer by our absence, it will not die. Our programs this year have been interesting and instructive. Many of our Ameiican as well as English and Luropean writers have come under our dissecting eye. One thing that always occupies an important place on our programs is The Echo. It is prepared by a staff of editors who give us clever editorials, lectures, snappy boys’ and girls' dorm news, athletic notes and plenty of laugh-provoking jokes . lor the annual contest we have chosen as our contestants: Debaters.

Mary I he stated purpose of our N W C A. is: I To lead students to faith in God through Jesus C.hrist 1 To promote their growth in Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible. I To influence them to devote themselves in united effort with all Christians, to making the will of Christ effective in human society and to extending the Kingdom of God throughout the world. I nder the inspiring anil efficient leadership of our president. Sarah Aherncthy, the committees and members have endeavored to carry out these high purposes, and they have accomplished much 'The vesper services, the Wednesday evening meetings, the cabinet meetings, the Mission Study Class, and the Bible ('lass were the means used to lead the girl to laith in God. and to promote growth in Christian character. I he program committee has made such an unusual record that we must mention it Through the untiring efforts ol I reed a Harlan, the chairman, this committee planned interesting and helpful programs for every Wednesday evening in the year. Will we ever forget how the Candle l ight Service, the Song Service when the new piano was dedicated, the Christmas vespers, the E.aster Service—yes. and all the services, just seemed to lift us to a higher planer The third aim. to influence the girls to devote themselves to Christian service, was accomplished through tlie work of the several committees which furnished an abundance of definite and vital Christian work for all. Every day and everywhere the Blue Triangle Girls ' were ready to serve. They welcomed the new students, they visited the home-sick girls, they ushered at vespers, they made and sold pop corn halls for money for our little Trench orphan, they worked like heavers for the bazaar, and they sang Christmas carols. I hese are onl a few of the things they did. The story of the Y Y C A would be incomplete without mentioning its delightful social activities The receptions, the Birthday Party, the Bazaar, and the Valentine Party not only gave evenings of real pleasure, but also broadened our lives Thus, as we look back over this year's work we realize that the greatest gain is found not in the visible money, meetings, and numbers, but in the invisible development of moral qualities. nd. as we think of the happiness, the friendliness, the kindliness, the peacefulness, the willingness and the unselfishness that characterized all the work we say. Surely this is none other than the spirit of Christ.” Thinking of how in 1917 a few inspired girl organized our N G A and how it lias grown and grown, even far beyond their hopes, we think of the words of the poet. Our echoes roll from soul to soul and grow forever and forever.” Oh, 'i V. i,. A., mav your light “shine as the stars forever and ever. —E. W. Highly three N M. (.

The object of the organization has been to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school life a high moral and religious character. Keeping this before us as the purpose for which it came into being, the organization has become a credit to our school. A student missionary conference held at . and J.

Everyone loves discussions, and we have a lively discussion on some topic every week. The Senior members of the Y. M. C.

Eighty-eight The Sax igena music KigJuy-iiiuc The Saxigen a Shut) The Saxigena The Vesper Choir The Vesper Choir, which adds a touch of reverence to the Sunday evening services, is composed of a number of students and faculty members. I nder the competent direction of Miss Easley the choir has rendered many beautiful anthems as well as solos. Although the choir has worn the caps and gowns for several years, this is the first year we have used the processional and recessional ceremony. This adds greatly to the solemnity of our vespers. One great privilege given to the choir this year was the opportunity to go to Butler and hear St. Olal's Choir from St. Olaf’s College. Xincly o� c The Saxigena Cecilian Club Mary E. Martin Adeline Oberg Nancy Jam McCasi.in Bertha Burns President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Saxigena Cecilian Club Iwenty-two young ladies, full of hope and music, were present at tlie first meeting of the Girls' Chorus on November 2l). The first thing we did was to elect officers, and because Man Martin always worked so hard for us last year we elected her president. Then we elected Adeline Oberg. vice-president: Nancy Jane McCaslin. secretary; Bertha Burns, treasurer, livery meeting we added new names to our roll until now we stand seventy strong. After we came back from Christmas vacation, we decided not to be the Girls' Chorus any more, so we became the Cecilian Club. As our contribution toward the entertainment of the multitudes, we presented The Feast of The Little Lanterns on the first of April. Was it a success? Well, rather! We gave it again on the fourth of April for the d raining School pupils. I nder Miss Laslev's careful guidance and watchful care we re developing fast into- well, if not prima donnas, the next thing to it Miss Mersereau does her part as our accompanist, and with both she and Miss Lasley to pilot us. it will be strange if we don't do somethin to surprise the world. , incl v-threv The Saxigena Orpheus Club Ralph Reynolds Albert Dunn I {.wide Thomas Alexander Della Valle President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The Saxigen a Orpheus Club Al the first of this year when Miss Rasley said something about starting a boys' glee club, all the fellows rallied to her support. A meeting was called immediately. at which time Ralph Reynolds was elected president, other officers were elected and committees were appointed to frame a constitution and also to choose a name for the club. After a short deliberation the committee submitted “Orpheus (dub as a name, and this was agreed upon instantly by the boys. After the club was properly tuned up. the boys began to prepare for the minstrel show, which was surely a fitting climax for the club’s work. Just ask anyone who was in the chapel on the evening of March thirteenth what they thought of the show, and you won't be kept in suspense long with regard to the success of the Orpheus Cdub.

I'hey furnish us with music whenever anil wherever it is wanted. What would our p(ays, our receptions, and our dances be without their tuneful presence? Miss Waller, the leader, deserves a great deal of praise for the type of music which the orchestra gives us. The personnel comprises: Violins. Comets Miss McCreary Mae Taylor I. P .

They give one concert a year, and in addition to that assist the Senior Orchestra whenever necessary. As members of the Senior Orchestra graduate. Junior members will (ill the gaps. Thus we are sure of having with us at all times an orchestra of high rank. Miss Waller, the untiring leader, needs be commended on the work she is doing along this line. Ninety-eight The Saxigena Octette They claim music hath charms. That is probably true for the charming young ladies of the Octette, whom we have heart! several times this year, would make anyone sit up and listen. During the first semester Florence lluber. one of our first sopranos, had to give up the work, unfortunately for us. Her place was taken by Claire Rhodes. We wish it were possible to have both girls.

In considering the members of the squad too much can hardly be said of them. I he Dugan brothers have finished three years of football here with flying colors. W aldo, at center, snapped back the buck with constant certainty, and opened holes readily for the plunging back field. Francis fought grimly by his side. They were a hard combination to pass through, and harder to hold. The Stoops brothers will be remembered by many of our fans. Johnston did his bit at guard with vim and vigor, while Red at end. tall and raw-boned, worked hi way elusively through interference time ami again to bring down a runner. Stephenson, besides kicking 22 out of 26 goals, was never found wanting on the line, lie worked havoc on the defensive, breaking up off-tackle plays, smashing interference, and blocking passes and kicks. McLaughlin, hearty and husky, viewed his man. whether large or small, as something to be handled decisively, lie never wore a head gear: a smile was always visible: and efficiency was displayed in every line of his splendid frame. The three Clairton boys gave strength to our team, pounds and pounds of it. Rhine worked consistently and admirably through the entire season at end and half-back. Della Valle, at half and full-back, starred at end runs and tackling. Captain Thomas was deadly at tackling, and a stone wall as full-back on defense. I le proved an enigma to 'opposing teams as a plunger. Reynolds has filled the position of quarter-back for the last two years. This is really “nuf ced. lie is swift of loot, and his mind works like a clock in signal calling. Dunn played a steady, effective, and consistent game, lie was hard to pass as interference, and clipping seemed to come natural to him. Tubby Smith is one of our fastest men. Last year he played end. but has proved to be a better backfield man. lie has produced the goods as half-back. Sager, at end. is very promising, lie is neat and sure at tackling, delights in running down punts, and can clip with the best. Murphy has shown this year that he possesses the required ability, lie is a good quarter-back but is handicapped by lack of weight. Cotton, although not talkative in class, is good on the field. I le has a remarkable stride and covers ground as though he possessed seven league boots, lie has that peculiar ability of being just where he is needed—when he is needed. Weinstein, although light, was fast and showed a knowledge of the game. At end or half-back he played a game which won worthy praise from our fans. Touchdowns—Smith 2. Thomas 8. Dunn 2.

On November 20 Coaches Thompson and Lenhardt issued the call for candidates, and thirty-five responded. These were weeded down to eighteen. As forwards we had “Tubby” Smith. I lout .. Sammy McCollough. Hogg. Dunn. J. Stoops. Johnson, and Weinstein. As guards we boasted Reynolds. Stephenson. Kelly, Pierce McCollough, and Sa er- As centers we hailed P. Stoops Komora, and Stephenson. Komora made center positi m on varsity. Stephenson and Kelly filled guard positions. Tubby” played forward regularly, while the other forward position was filled by the other forwards mentioned. J. Stoops and “Sammy” held it down most often. Captain Smith played a constantly steady and marvelous game. To him we give much credit for our victories. I le was not only fast on the floor, but has an unusual ability to hit the basket when he shoots that way. Incidentally, he was our foul shooter, too. Komora played a good season at center, lie invariably got the ball and started down the floor with it. Too. he made his share of baskets. Stephenson was the old stand-by on guard. I IK large and muscular frame kept many a ball from the enemy's basket. Kelly was a hard man to stop when he started dribbling. I lis floor work was smooth and fast. We felt a certain uncanny safety when Kelly was on the floor. J. Stoops and Pierce McCollough showed up well in forward positions. They aided in winning many a game for us. Dunn played as he did in football, a steady but effective game. Uoutz showed smooth floor work, very neat passing, and some remarkable shooting. Thomas is fast becoming a good guard. More from him next year. Sammy” works well with Tubby.” as they played together on the old high school team. Paul Stoops played a good game at center and gave Johnny a run for the position. Johnson proved to be wicked at long shots as well as angle shots. Sager is a good guard, and we promise more from him in the future. Reynolds played as guard in some of our hardest games with a tenacity worth boasting of. W einstein played forward with I lout ., and the two could show us some neat, fast floor work. One 11 iiu lrc l Seventeen The Saxigena Baseball Team One Hundred Eighteen The Saxigen a Baseball We look forward lo a successful baseball season this spring. All our last year's men arc with us with the exception of Denny and Rhine. To the old men we have several new proteges. Komora is promising. Johnson does not look bad on the field and Kinney shows up well on second. Of our old men v.e have Dunn, who will play either first or short stop. Della Valle will either catch again or play left field. I homas will play in the outfield as well as J. Sloops. I lout and Stephenson can still twirl the ball effectively.

Coach Genevieve McCreary produced a team of championship caliber. However a squad of experienced high school players assembled under her wing that brightened the outlook for our mighty little coach. Coach McCreary is deserving of much credit for the capable manner in which she tutored her proteges. Captain Schink. whose unerring accuracy in placing field goals won many of our games, will always be remembered in Slippery Rock traditions. The work of the other forwards, Harsh and McGarrah, was of such a standard that improvement could scarcely be made. Emma Fisher, center, and Florence Hamilton, side center, were always on the alert and outplayed their opponents in every game. Jean Gilson and Clara Sankey. guards, were the hardest workers on the team, their tenacity making them the two most feared guards in this district. The subs deserve a great deal of praise for the spirit manifested in the welfare of the team. More power to our girls, they have added to the honor and the glory of the school!

One Hundred Thiriy-scvcn Ihe Saxigena CHIROPRACTIC CONSISTS ENTIRELY OF ADJUSTING THE MOVABLE SEGMENTS OF THE SPINAL COLUMN TO NORMAL POSITION WHAT IS MEANT BY STRAIGHT CHIROPRACTIC ? Every trade, profession or occupation combine the extremes of efficiency and inefh Ciciicy. Chiropractic i no exception to this rule and it is a lamentable fact that there art many who CALI. themselves Chiropractor whose only qualification is a diploma from a correspondence school or a diploma mill' and to whom the profession mean -imply an easy method of getting a living;. There incompetent invariably attempt to conceal their lack of skill by filling their offices with catch-penny devices instead of filling their heads with knowledge, and then po c as ''broadminded people who consent to use their superior judgment to pick the good out of every method for the benefit of the dear public. Perhaps their broadness consi-ts entirely of a willingness to perpetuate themselves professionally by any method except that of attaining proficiency. STRAIOIIT CHIROPRACTIC is a term used to distinguish those who understand and practice Chiropractic from those who CALL themselves Chiropractors and practice anything that promises a dollar. A straight Chiropractor is one who knows from observation ami experience that Chiropractic i- right, lie feels the impulse of the big idea. When he contemplated studying Chiropractic his first concern was to select the best tchool, and when in school to work honestly and conscientiously to master his studies anil to attain proficiency. Mis diploma to him means long hours of honest, intelligent, painstaking effort, and in his practice he PROV KS that disease i- caused by pressure on the nerves at the point where they leave the spine. lie confines hi efforts to locating ami adjusting, hv hand only, the misaligned vertebrae and will not stoop to a method of extracting money. He docs not cease studying when he leaves school and his pride and joy in his efficiency in getting the sick well. He i- more concerned with health than dollars and as a result patients seek him. Always he lives ami works with the big discovery and marvels at the wonderful result . To him Chiropractic is a growing necessity. He radiates enthusiasm and confidence, for he knows hi husmc , and in season and out of season he teaches and practices what lie knows to he true. In his office you will find no hot lamps to warm the chilly; no violet ray to counteract the blues; no stretching machines to make the short lengthen; no dietetic fad to find the food a weakened stomach will digest: no salts, no ulphur, or electric bath to forcibly eliminate the poisons; no vibrator to -tir the sluggish into life, lie KNOWS that the Supreme Architect and Itnildcr designed anti built the human body, and that when the machine doe not run properly an adjustment is all that is required, lie scorns there catch-penny confessions of incompctcncy and confines his efforts to learning how to locate and correct the cause of disease. He will not prostitut • his science for money and you will find the space in his offices tilled with waiting patients instead of cateh-jM-nny devices.

A window covering should have a decorative value in addition to its practical value as a window veiling —That is the latest decorative demand.
