Although we may have been rather green and bashful when we landed on S. R.'s campus, wc soon got over it. and became acquainted with everyone. The faculty, desiring to know the Junior Class better, gave a Faculty Reception at which we met and shook hands with every faculty member. We were quite impressed with the dignity and especially with the number of faculty members, who exhibited much ingenuity in managing to change our most stately cognomens into all sorts of common ordinary names Miikulonic underwent such severe changes that it became everything possible between McClinic and Mahoney: while Hatley likewise was transformed into all the possibilities from Hartley to Battery. When the members of the faculty had displayed their artistic capacities, we were served with refreshments. We then wended our way “dormitory-ward” much impressed with our new surroundings. The next event that took place for the Junior Class was the Junior 'Pea given by Miss Johnson. We all donned our very best hats, suits and gloves. Then armed with a name card, we made our way to the Y. W. C. A. room where we all drank our cup of tea and left. 'Phe next most memorable and important event in our illustrious history was the election of class officers. John Graham being chosen president; Helen McCracken, secretary; Clarence Metzger, treasurer. This was soon followed by the Junior class party. 'Phis party will long he remembered by the Juniors—also the Seniors whose joy, however, was short-lived. It was the merriest, happiest, joilicst party ever staged by a Junior Class at S. R. Balloons, streamers, paper hats, whistles, and oh! the dancing, we couldn’t have had a better time if we had wanted to. Thus far, our Junior class career has flourished with not a forbidding cloud upon our whole horizon. We still hope for an even more brilliant conclusion to our history in the Senior year. Although old S. R. may not remember what the Juniors have said here, they cannot forget what we have done here.

An entering class of about fifty freshmen made their way here this year to hold the record of being the largest entering class of freshmen ever enrolled. Marly in the fall the juniors and seniors entertained the freshmen at a “food and fun festival out at Wolf Creek. Everyone met everyone else and so the department was firmly welded together. However, that was not our only celebration, for Dr. Holmes extended an invitation to the seniors to a steak fry in the Normal Woods. This turned out to be almost a banquet, and the woods resounded to fifteen lusty “RahV for Dr. Holmes. Hut the “Kiddie Party” was the best entertainment of all. for in the matter of costume it surpassed any masquerade ever held. With each year bringing larger entering and larger graduating classes we can see a rosy future for the Health Education department at S. R. The camp to be established this summer marks a new departure and definitel) brings us into a class with special schools of physical training. Competent instructors, plenty of initiative and a strong band of good fellowship and loyalty have raised our department to its present important place in S. R.’s life.

I hus it is that the faces of our classmates radiate with happiness, satisfaction, and expectancy. Hut if those same faces could always be watched one would see a different expression there at times, because we have reached the time when our paths separate and we must go to find new fields to conquer. The wistful and pleasant looks mingle as we think how soon we must part. And yet. whatever Time may hold in store for us. she cannot blot out the remembrance of these four years we have spent in the shadows of S. R.’s halls. Then let us go out to make our mark in the world’s hall of fame, keeping before us these four verses: Help whomever, whenever you can Man forever needs help of man: Let never a day die in the west That you have not comforted some sad breast.

T he High School, like other departments of the Normal, has made main changes in the development and hits, with the cheerful cooperation of both faculty and students, attained a high degree of advancement. Knowing that in this organization we receive the foundation to our future careers we have aimed to make our standards high, to benefit from the mistakes of others, and to arouse greater interest on the part of the student body so that in all activities we shall be a success and shall in the future realize the benefit of our work in this institution of learning. Nor only in studies have our efforts been justified, but on the football field and the basketball floor our members have shown their prowess and have added their ability and skill to make the School's team a success. Without Tommy, Teddy, and Seiglc man a hard-fought battle would have been lost. Never until this year has the High School stood on its own feet and produced basketball teams which have won without the aid of our crack Normal representatives, their own wee bit of fame adding much to the interest and spirit of the High School. Outside and inside our motto has been “fair play and with this leading us ever onward we hope in time to produce “athletic teams which shall rival our famous Normal teams. Uniting work with pleasure we have striven toward a goal -the goal to happiness and success, and perhaps our efforts will prove a touchstone which will bring to our followers the vision of “good will and purpose and start them along the course to success as we have sailed along it in the beginning of our future at “(iood Old Slippery Rock High School. 1.

M iss (lerberich is one of our new music instructors, and we find in her a very capable director and leader. She encountered some difficulty in selecting her group; but. thanks to her untiring efforts, we have enjoyed the music on Sunday evenings. The processional and recessional ceremony creates an air of solemnity over the service. Those of our number whose talent has been used in the choir this year are: Alice Barnes, Ann Cort, Grace Nichol, Mary Logan. Kdith Jones, Ix-ona Craig, Frances Craig.

ORCHESTRA Orchestra I he orchestra which has been in existence tor several seasons has grown in numbers this year under the leadership of Miss Marjorie Jones. The week I rehearsals have been in part devoted to systematic study of the technical points which go toward building the foundations of the future symphom orchestra. All the players have attended faithfully and several successful appearances have been made at school plays and entertainments. The plea goes out for more players of various instruments, so that the future attainments of this organization will not be limited for lack of players. 'The numbers played this season have been from the Karl Fischer Progressive Orchestra Series, the L. M. Gordon School series, and other selections of this grade. Next year they hope to play standard works of a more pretentious nature. The Normal School Orchestra is always limited in its powers on account of the shortness ot the course— thus necessitating a constantly changing personnel. Hut we arc pleased with the progress made this season and hope for even greater success in the future. Director, Marjorie K. Jones, L. T. C. M.

For the benefit of the whole student body an open meeting was held in which an illustrated talk was given. Several other members of the club gave interesting phases of the work. The illustrated lecture of Lorado Taft was one of the many things enjoyed by the Art Club, including the student body. Meetings are held on Thursday evenings after dinner. Miss McClymonds is the faculty adviser and leader of the club. Yorxc; WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Y. W. C. A. What would school life he without a Y. W. C. A.? We cannot visualize the possibility of the absence of this association in a school, on account of the benefit we have derived from it. First, the spirit of friendship was shown by the “hi ; and little sister movement. Later the big sisters took the new girls to the candle light service in the chapel, which was held in honor of the new girls. Here they learned the real significance of Y. W. C. A. During the membership campaign practically all the girls showed their interest in this organization bv joining it. A person gets out of a thing just what he puts into it. That is why the Y. W. C. A. put across everything which it attempted, ior the officers, cabinet members, and others have been exceptionally active in the work this year. The bazaar, held on December X was in every way a success. The Student Friendship Movement was carried on in this association. The weekly meetings have been very helpful and inspirational to the girls in aiding them to attain the ideals which the triangle signifies.

M. C. A. The Young Men’s Christian Association of the students in Slippery Rock State Normal School has finished a very successful year of work. Besides holding its regular weekly meetings the “Y” has had several open meetings to which all were invited and which proved very successful. Several joint meetings with the Y. C. A. were also held which were both interesting and instructive. The Y. M. C. A. has accomplished a great amount of work this year in the student friendship drive and in membership; although more could have been accomplished hail the Y” had the cooperation of the whole student body. Because of the splendid work done b the officers and members those who ill be members of the “Y next year can start with a clean slate and accomplish those things which the Y” should and has wished to accomplish this year. Some of the things which the “Y has tried to accomplish this year are: To stimulate a better feeling between the faculty and students; to make new students feel that they are one of us; to encourage school spirit, better manhood and womanhood and thoughtfulness for others. Next year’s work, we hope, will be as profitable as this year’s has been.

I hat they made a wise selection is obvious by the type of paper that has been put out. Sara Adams, as editor-in-chief, needs no introduction in this field. She has been associated with this type of work for some time, and her past work bespeaks her success. Her assistants, Helen Maloney. Mary (iriffin, Leona O'Shea, and George I Koryak have lent their aid nobly throughout the year. A new feature was added to the Slippery Rocket whcrcb the work of securing material for the paper was divided into five groups, each group being responsible for certain classes of news. The senior class is indebted to Mr. Headland, Mr. Tinker, Mr. Williams, Mr. Allison, and Miss Klliott, faculty advisors, for their able assistance in making our Rocket a success. Varsity Club It has been discovered that very tew of our students know anything about our Varsity Club. Now we w ant to acquaint you with the organization. The dub, though only in existence a few years, has made rapid stride.' to the front in an athletic way at S. R. The members include only those boys who have participated in a required number of athletic events and have thereby won the coveted S.” The goal to gain is worth the attempt, and our Varsity Club members set only the highest standards in athletics; that of fostering clean sports and true fellowship, beside maintaining a high scholastic standing. The Varsity Club has been instrumental in stirring school spirit among the students, and on a number of occasions, have canvassed the campus with tags and buttons to create that good old feeling of sportsmanship. To aid in the social schedule of the school they gave a Minstrel Show, and, judging by the interest show n and by the large attendance, it surely was a big success. Lest we forget, the boys of the club again have consented to darken their faces for our entertainment to be given sometime in early .VI ay. The membership of the club is steadily increasing and have just recently taken in new members, and the club has elected Charles F. Schade, President; Joe Ammon, Vice President, and Robert McKee, Secretary and Treasurer. The boys must be complimented on their organization to the fullest extent, and let us back them and support them in every way possible. 115 SRSN THESAXIGENA 1925 “Adam and Eva” NOVEMBER, 1924 A COMEDY CAST JAMES KING, a rich man............................EDWARD TAYLOR CORINTH1A, his parlor mail!......................JEAN McCLUNG CLINTON DE wm; his son-in-law....................WILLIAM LEYDK i Jl LIE DE Wm . his eldest daughter.................PEARL EERREE EVA KING, his youngest daughter................LOl 1SE STUCHl I.

R. S. N. Coach Thompson's men li l not stop at winning the normal school championship of Western Pennsylvania for the second consecutive year by beating California Normal, but they went a step farther than any normal school has ever done in the history of the state. They played Shippensburg. and by defeating the Southeastern champs, earned the state title. S. R. is thereby the first normal school to hold the state normal school championship. Under the great leadership of Capt. Berkman, the team rode rough-shod over all opponents, winning all of the nine games played, scoring a total of 244 | oints against 46 for the opponents. The student body must be congratulated for the fine spirit, cooperation and support tendered the team at all times, and the fine send-offs which they gave the team when leaving to play abroad. The reserve material was the best Coach Thompson has ever had at S. R., and they had much to do with the victories. The regulars were often forced out of the line-up on account of injuries, their positions being creditably filled by these trained reserves. At the football banquet tendered the “State Champs by Coach Thompson, Charles Schadc was elected captain for the 1925 season. Under his guiding hand, if is hoped the team will have as good or a better season than the team of '24. Of the letter men only Schink. Capt. Berkman, and Pun Jack will be lost by graduation. Their loss will be keenly felt, but that still leaves men for the start of another wonderful team. May the State Title rest again with S. R. at the end of the '25 season. p N. Kerr Thompson Co adi “Coach” has been a commanding figure in the athletic world in S. R. for a number of years, being the “Knute Rocknc of Slippery Rock, and turning out wonderful trains. This year has been his best in football, his team winning the state title. IIi personality and leadership is directly responsible for the team's success, and to him goes all the honor and glory due a coach, a sportsman of the highest type, and a valued friend to all of us. K. B. CoTTRELI. Dor Doc came to us this year from the “Golden West,” serving as assistant coach as well as Physical Director, lie has made many friends among the students, and his coaching had a big part to do with the teamls success. He is always ready to help and doing what he can to he of the most value to S. R., promoting interest in athletics and physical education. tterkir CaPT. STANLEY BbRKMAN Quarterback His greatness can be summed up by what Coach Thompson said about him. He is the greatest quartet back that I have ever had in my 10 years of coaching. He was one of the most popular men on the squad. Resides calling signals, he was a real triple threat man, being able to pass, kick anti run with the ball. Berkie's brainwork at quarter and his fine directing of plays and clever passing enabled the green and white warriors to come through with a clean slate. The team had confidence in their quarterback and captain, and that's what carried them to the championship. “Sun,tar ALEXANDER DELLA VaI.LE Halfback No matter how hard he was tackled nor how many tackled him, Sundae would always get up with a smile. This fast stepping back could always he depended upon and always delivered the goods, particularly when running the ends. He was a terror to opponents on the old Statue of Liberty play. One halfback position will be taken care of next year, as Sundae will be back. ••Dirk Richard Harlan Tackle At Mt. I'nion someone asked Dick it he wore shoulder pads with civilian clothes. His broad shoulders half scared the enemy before battle time. At tackle he was a bear,” and he stood up with the best of them. Although handicapped with a bad ankle at times he played consistent ball. He also featured, carrying the ball and plowing through the line. S. R. will l� c rather fortunate should this gladiator” return next year. ••Bill’ William Leydig F.nd Because he was pretty tall, made Bill” good at nabbing passes out of the air. He played good ball and with more experience and coaching should develop into a fine end. With two more years of football before him, much is to be expected, and we 'hall look for him to shine for S. R. next fall. ••Art Arthur Prasse Tackle This veteran played with us in '22. and in '25 he was making good with Thiel College. He came back to us this season, and S. R. was indeed fortunate to have such an experienced player. At tackle he played a “whale” of a game and filled a hard position that left little to be desired, lie stood out on the defensive and broke up many a play ami hurried up passes. Let's hope he will come back again next year. Punnir George PinJack F.nd Punnie” proved himself an exceptional end, being the lightest man on the team. An end position demands speed, endurance, and power, and Punnie possessed these. He could run down the field under a forward pass and take it on the run. If the pass failed on third down, he was able to hustle back and go down the field at top speed under a punt. It was very unfortunate that he had his leg broken in the middle of the season. Punnie will graduate this year and his going will create a vacancy hard to till. “Big Boy RAYMOND RALSTON Guard This Baby Grand seems to be made for football, or perhaps football was made for him. lie possessed the stuff and every game found him better and better, lie was at top for all season. Big Boy was active and powerful. His weight combined with exceptional ability and mobility made him the great player that he was. He is thinking about going to college next year which will mean S. R's. loss and some college's gain. Why not make the All-American team, soon. Big Boy? SRSN THE SAXIGENA 1925 ••Tommy THOMAS SaGKR Center In the center � f the line •'Tommy” held his own with the best of them. He could hold his place in the line or play a roving center, as the occasion demanded. His passing was accurate and his defensive playing of the sterling |ualily. What holes that center trio of ours would open with Tommy Hanked by Taylor and Ralston! 11 is tackling was fierce. It’s a shame that that 80 vd. run for a touchdown at Shippensburg went for naught. Tommy expects to he hack next year. • li„‘ Francis Rowan Fullback Behind the line Min was adept in diagnosing plays, was a hard, sure and deadly tackier, and keen and active in knocking or interrupting forward passes. Rowan had unlimited endurance for a little man, being a great man at handling the ball, a quick-starting, elusive runner, slippery as an eel and knew when to take chances. He worked ami played hard, which after all is what makes a real football player. He will he a valuable player to have hack with us again next year. Shady Charles Schade Tackle Charlie was the slashing, powerful, and clever type who had the strength and knowledge necessary to clean up the pathway for the runner at the right moment. He was a st3r at opening holes in the opposing ranks, accomplishing this not by mere strength hut by power plus strategy The letter men have elected him Capt. for next year, showing their confidence in him. The choice was indeed a wise one ami he should he an ideal leader. Schink Howard ScHINK Halfback After two years of hard work on the scrubs, Howard came to hi' own this year at hall hack and was improving as the season grew older. This quiet Proctor of the Ramsey House did his best, worked hard at all times tor the good of the team, lie showed his ability at carrying the hall and played good defensive hall. This was his last year on the squad. He will graduate from the 11. Ed. course. Porky Edward Tavi.or Guard l‘H lbs. of fight, with bulldog tenacity and a setter's aggressiveness. A big man filling a big position and filling it well. Porky played one of the most consistent games of anyone during the whole season, lie lived up to his fighting reputation and could always he called upon to hold up his side of the arguments. His return next year will leave another place that's taken care of. Tartan JOHN Tr.AINOR Fullback This star's plunging of the line featured in most games, and he could always make his distance. He filled in his position in a good fashion. Tarzan looks like a football player, acts like one, and hi' playing convinces us that he i' one. lie is a good interferer and a rugged runner on and off tackic. Next year will find Tarzan with us again. Jack is one of that famous Maple's 'Trio” from Clairton. IT hi try HARRY WhITEHILL End Playing his second year at end Whitey was at his best, always being steady, consistent and reliable. He could not only check up interference but break through it to the discomfiture of the runner. He was a past master whether in interfering, getting down the field, tackling or receiving a forward pass. He has been a valuable man for the Green and White. Don’t fail us next season, Etna Hash. ••josh Harold Williams Halfback Lefty started the season at halfback but was later forced to the bench by injuries. He played well after that, being handicapped by a bad leg. He i' good at handling the ball, throwing passes and kicking. He was a human catapult multiplied by a momentum of speed w-ith which to bother an opposing line. This was his first year on the squad, another year should find him at top form.

Howard Schixk Forward S chink “Schink has earned the varsity “S in basketball for the past couple of seasons b his stead and consistent shooting. He started at forward, but when misfortune hit our center. “Schink” stepped into the first position and proved his natural ability as an allround basketball player. Our best wishes goes with you, “Schink. CI.ARENCF . IETZGAR Guard Metz” Having subbed for a year Metz proved himself a basketball player and was given a chance to show his ability, which he did like a veteran. He played as a guard and by his consistent work kept his forward from getting many baskets. Metz still has another year and big things arc expected from him. Theodore Stevenson Forward Teddy” “Teddy’s” long shots and his good floor work soon earned him a steady job on the varsity. Although this was “Teddy's first appearance, we will all welcome him back and are sure that he will be one of S. R. s best basketball players in years to come. 131 BASKET BALL TEAM Girl’s Basket Ball Miss Matheny Coach 'I'hey surels send out good coaches from Sargent! AVhen Miss Mathcny started to introduce a system of play—new here—the team saw that she meant to work as hard as they; so they buckled down, and the result was one of the best teams and also most successful seasons ever known here. She has the fighting never say die spirit that makes tor success and the courage to face defeat in the sportsmanlike manner which stands highest in S. R.’s catalogue of virtues. Sarah Corbett (luard Captain '‘Sal” This was “Sal s” third year on “Varsity and her second year as captain. Undoubtedly her leadership did much to keep things moving and we know she made enough trouble for opposing forwards. Luck to you. Captain Corbett! Nora I Vrox Forward Captain-elect Nora continued, this year, to run circles around her opponents. Nora certainly is a whist at working the floor, and this, coupled with her ability to shoot accurately, makes her doubly valuable to any team. Let's go over the top next year, Nora! SRSN 1925 I 33 SRSN THE S A X I G E N A Helen Upton 1925 Forward This second member of the Duquesne Upton combine, playing her first year for S, R . certainly did splendid work. Her playing close to the basket showed the result of years of practice. We have visions of a world’s championship next year since our U ptons will both be here still. Amelia Stulgin Center Another Duquesne product! We don’t remember of any opposing center getting the “jump” on Amelia. She can handle a ball with the best of ’em. Come back and hold down that center job for another year, Amelia! Helen C. Cooper Side Center If there’s a faster side-center than “Coop” we’d like to see her. For three years, she has given her best to S. R., and her best has been mighty good. Helen is going out to coach some team next year, and we know she’ll build one of the high ideals and I rfeet team work w hich have so characterized her work on S. R.’s teams. Dorothy Keiser (iuard When it came to filling the guard position this season. Miss Matheny finally selected Dot” as one of the best, and it fell to her to play that position in most of the games. “Dor” formerly played for Sharon, and she teamed well with Captain Corbett. Alice Patrizzio (Iuard Pat” also played guard alternating with Keiser quite capably. She has two more years to play; so the coach won’t need to worry herself gray-headed about the guards while Pat is around. Sara Adams Forward Sal is a senior, too, and will graduate in June. S. R.’s loss will be some other place’s gain—'cause she played the same in professional fashion whenever called upon. Carry on. “Sal. 134 • SRSN THE SAXIGENA 1925 Baseball S. R. is expected to put out a winning baseball team again this season, and. from the promising material at hand, it is hoped it will be a banner year. There are eight letter men left from last year’s winning combination. They are: Captain Ammon, center fielder; Berkman, third baseman; Sundae, catcher; Metzger, short stop; Schink, first baseman; McKee and Gordon, out-fielders; and Whitehill, pitcher. Many other likely candidates reported to Coach Thompson. Uniforms were issued and practice started in earnest about the middle of March. 'The team appears weak in pitchers, and it is hoped in addition to Whitehill, several more pitchers will be unearthed. Leydig, Ripper, and Glenn look promising. Siegel, a newcomer, will probably cinch an infield birth. Among the reserve and new material will be found Johnson, Young, Punjack, Dunham, Harlan, Racioppo. Ralston. Roth. Gates, and Schade. With this wealth of material at hand Coach Thomson expects to put forth a team that will hold up the honors which our previous teams have established. Many of our former players are. at the present, shining in the baseball world. Of the many, Dunn and Goldberg are playing with high class independent teams, and Johnson will play in the Appalachian League.

Vincent, Manager Whatever Mr. V incent does, he does well. He is a real manager and a tireless worker, never shirking his duty, alw ays doing his best for the students and the school. It is said that the man who works hardest to achieve his success will more fittingly adorn it once it has been achieved—his is the greater honor. Joseph Ammon, Captain Joe plays brilliant ball, being a first class out-fielder and batter, last year ranking as one of the best batters on the team. His clean and hard playing earned him the captaincy. It is through his untiring efforts that the present schedule is arranged. He plays middle field. '1'his is his last year, and his loss will be keenly felt. Stanley Berk man Berkie” plays the hot corner and plays it well. He has a good eye at bat. He can scoop ’em out of the dirt and throw to first base with lightning rapidity. He stands up under fire with a cool head. I bis year finds him playing his last for S. R. Alexander Della Valle “Sundae catches behind the bat and is also our best out-fielder when the occasion demands. He is exceptionally fast, and he covers a lot of territory. His experience is of great value to the pitchers. He is there when it comes to batting, always finishing near, or at the top. Next year, Sundae! Howard Schink Howard has been transferred from the out-field to first base and can play both positions well. He is a good batter and keeps a level head at all times. Schink guards the Initial Sack well. He, too, will be lost to S. R. through graduation. Bon Voyage, Schink. Harry Whitehill “Smoke lives up to his nickname and takes his turn on the slab. He pitches airtight ball and has a good delivery. He has worked his hardest in the past, and his efforts surely will be rewarded. He has another season in which to play; so do your best! CLARENCE IKTZGER This Etna lad was shifted from second base, which he played last year, to short stop, which position he is expected to till without a Haw. He fields like a veteran and swings a dangerous war club at the plate. “Met , t H . will be back next year. Robert McKee Bob” has held down the left field job and will hold it again this year providing his crippled foot does not give way. He has held the position in good manner, covering his territory well and letting no flies drop. He has another year to play, and we will expect much of him. Oliver Gordon “Jimmie graces the right garden and takes care of things that come his way in fine fashion. He sw ings a wicked bat and can send the ball a mile. He is also a good base runner. He will not don a uniform for S. R. next year. THE S A X I G E N A 1925 SRSN HI-1 138 SRSN THE SAXIGENA 1925 Chronology Sept. 22—Registration day.
