Kerr Thompson With heartfelt expression for the faithful u?ork and seruice which he has rendered for many years to Slippery Rock State Normal School History of Slippery Rock State Normal School A S we unfold the curtains of past history, we have before us the founding of the Slippery Rock State Normal School. With James E. Morrow as principal. the lirst term began on March the twenty-sixth, eighteen hundred and eightv-nine. with seven teachers and a student body of one hundred and sixty-eight students. I he grounds were without grass, trees, or walks, being surrounded by a typical old rail fence. This presented a desolate appearance as compared with out beautiful scenic campus with its trees, shrubbery, line lawns, and sidewalks. A wooden building on the present site of the chapel contained the office of the principal, the chapel room, and seven recitation rooms. I he model school at this time was held in a building on New Castle Street. As the spring term of 189? wanes into view, we find the rooms of the present Main Building being used for classes; the lirst floor of the Chapel being used for the Model School. On the morning of May thirteenth, eighteen ninety-five, the boys' dormitory, a frame building which stood on the present site of South Hall, was entirely destroyed by lire. The people of the town opened their homes, and rooms were found for all the students. Another disaster, the following year, which resulted in the destruction of the Chapel, found the students without an assembly hall. During that year and the next, commencement exercises were held in the grove below the school. During the rebuilding of the Chapel, the morning exercises of the school were held in the room now used for the library. Later we find the erection of two beautiful buildings, our present Training School, and the new gymnasium building which i' used as a gymnasium and music hall. In spite of these troublesome times, a rebuilding of our school took place. We underwent a steady growth in numbers, as well as in influence, owing largely to the loyalty of the student body to the best interests of the school. The State was not so liberal in its encouragements of those attending the Normal School; only a small portion of the excuse being borne by the State, the students paying the majority. 11 owe ver. those completing the course received a gift of fifty dollars, but this was withdrawn about nineteen hundred. In nineteen hundred and three, a three year course was adopted: the State agreeing to pay the entire tuition to all those who expressed their intentions of becoming teachers, this later being followed by a three year course in Health Education. As the smoke of the years clears away, we find ourselves undergoing a complete metamorphosis. I he State is now contemplating the adoption of a four year curriculum. which will involve the offering of a degree in the respective courses. Old Main, give us a place in thy memory To reverence thy vested walls. South Hall Joy and merriment echoing thru its halls. Gladdening the hearts of those within its walls. North Hall Holding memories and glad joy. Making lasting friendships, finding comrades true. Chapel But hushed be every thought that springs From out the bitterness of things. Music Hall and Gymnasium A thousand fantasies Begin to throng into my memory. Training School Untwisting ail the chains that tie The hidden souJ of harmony. Campus, Looking North Still are the thoughts to memory dear. Campus Snow Scene Full many a glorious morning have I seen. Enshrouded in mists of a wondrous sheen. To You Till: ('.lass of 1026—two hundred strong! Two hundred different individuals representing as many homes, nearly as many communities, to form the mosaic of the class of 1926. This mosaic looks different to each one of you. You have worked, you have played, you have laughed, you have sung together for two years and are now ready to go hack to community life again not as you left it merely a student, but a teacher, an individual whom your state has delighted to honor with an education that you may go out among her people realizing your responsibility as a citizen, and 'living the ideal manhood or womanhood wherever you may be. and still ever being a student. We like to think of you as carrying all that is noblest and best of vour life here out into that larger sphere where the lives of those with whom you come in contact shall consciously and unconsciously to higher levels rise”.

Sr veiny Svvfiity-onc Last Will and Testament W e. the Senior ('.lass of Slippery Rock State Normal School. Slippery Rock. Butler County. Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, in manner and form following:— I W e leave to the juniors who will have our exalted position during the next year, all of the many privileges we have enjoyed as seniors; may they not abuse them. 2. W e also leave to our successors the duty of making next year’s Saxigcna a success. This includes of course all the mistakes which we made and by which they will profit. 3. W e bequeath to next year’s senior girls the privilege of choosing first any room in either dormitory. With this we leave some friendly advice. I inter all rooms facing the campus with strong heart and fearless eye. I hese rooms are wont to warm the campus of a cold and wintry day. l ake heart and plenty of blankets. A. W e bequeath to the other classes and particularly to the Health Eds., the horse, the buck, and any other animals wild or otherwise in the gymnasium. We are hoping that they do not pass the buck to the teachers. s. It is with great pleasure and with forethought for any future misunderstanding that we leave to the budding romances of this year and those of next the choice of all seats in the auditorium before row M . Knowing his antipathy for the space under the balcony, all seats back of “Row M” we leave to l)r. P.isenberg to do with as he thinks best. Perhaps this will eliminate any difficulty in regard to Sunday night vespers and any so-called accidental dates at our movies. 6. We bequeath to all underclassmen our valuable knowledge concerning Mrs. Houston’s “Beauv hints : carrots, chard, cauliflower: and last but not least —milk. To all new comers, drink milk, and you arc Mrs. Houston’s friend forever. W ith this information comes Frank , the pieman , cakeman”. and altogether the one who puts the silver lining in the clouds of carrots and cauliflower. 7. Again to the girls in general we leave all permits to go home which we did not use. We hope that no one will be crushed or maimed in the forthcoming battle over the remaining three. 8. Although we have left them until the last, it is a case of saving the best. We want to leave to the faculty our many thanks for all they have done for us. W e should like to thank particularly our faculty advisor. Mr. Lady, for his advice and friendship during the past year. o. And last of all we leave to everyone, faculty and students alike, our best wishes for all the good luck in the world. Signed, SENIOR CLASS OF ’26. Seventy-two K. I1! 2 J The Class Prophecy (The Diary of a Newspaper Reporter.) January I. 1936— This diary business is just a trial, but the grandfather of my pal, Hubert Jack, says that it will be the making of my grandchildren to read this after I have attained my wealth and my goal. Yes, I've changed it again; I mean my goal not my wealth. A school teacher doesn’t have much change along the money line, so I’m shifting to the newspaper game. And. believe me, I started the New ’t ear right. I got a story last night that will beat anything I ever published in the Slippery Rocket. The Big Boss. Imelia Stulginski. (Yes. she’s an old associate of mine) scented a story at the Platinum Spoon,” so she picked about the most sensible people on the staff, (people who could keep their heads no matter what happened) to go. That was Me and my boy friend. Hubert It was like a family. I mean a class reunion. We took a side table to watch the fun. The head waiter was no other than Charles Schade He must have taken a fancy to that at S R I observed very closely the couples seated at the next table and found them to be Buell Moore. K.D.K.A. announcer, anti his wife, as devoted as ever They were entertaining a red headed young professor and his wife, who looked to me like a couple I used to see in S. K. Yes. these S. R romances are sometimes serious. Pretty soon the lights went out. and the spot light was turned on the entrance to the dance floor. Again my chair stood me in go xl stead Grabbing the back of it. I listened dumbfounded to the intoxicating music which accompanied Alexander IIreachrhack, whispering baritone. Hubert uttered a cry and would have spoiled it all by rushing toward him. but his efforts were of no avail. My manly arm held him taut. Amid great applause he bowed himself from the floor I’he entertainment was not over; neither were my surprises. The program said. The Ragtime Trio. and of course I was ready for everything by this time. In fact. I shouldn't have been surprised if the dean herself had stepped out The orchestra struck up a tune calculated to set the feet going and into the limelight came John Mixer, now doing the Savannah I.imp , and two of his company. Helen l.aughlin. and Cecelia Weis. Both girls I later learned had taken up dancing as a sideline I caught a glimpse of George Dvoryak playing the piano in the orchestra, having at last attained his ambition. Clarence Met ger was playing the slide trombone and Edna Peckham was star saxophone player. It was twelve, the whistles were blowing, and the New Year had come in. but Hubert and anil I were beginning to think that Emelia’s intuition was wrong. Suddenly we heard the tramping of many feet, we felt a draught, the door opened, the window and the balcony was slowly raised, and a roar issued from the mouth of the man in uniform. The house is pinched! Herman Nolle was the captain of the invading band, but the lady manager, who was no other than Dorothy Reiser, came forth saying. You're in the wrong place. You want Della Valle’s, four doors down.” So the troupe douwnheartedly took its leave. By this time. Hubert had become deeply engrossed with Mrs. Moore, and I thought it was time to go before he went to sleep Yes. Hubert is used to early hours. At the check room Hubert spied Violet Marlin and asked her how she was and where Minnie had gone. Violet was teaching five days out of the week, she said, but Minnie was teaching dancing at Harvard University. Knowing our expenses were being paid. Hubert and I decided to put on some airs. We bought a newspaper, and hailed a taxi. Hubert again gave way to his emotions. Hey. he yelled. That’s Jane Canon driving that taxi! Then I trying to calm him. said quietly. Yes. so it is. And with this I went up and shook hands. What are you doing here?” I asked. Scvcnry-ihrcc £ l 1 2 £H«£IJ6 AW 5 “I own Ihc fcrtisiriess.'' she answered, and with this she blew ;i shrill whistle, while from every highway and byway came green cabs, all driven by members of the feminine sex. Yes. I gave way to mv desire to drive a car and bought the taxi company out Do you see anyone you know?” It was with amazement that I looked the girls over lmost all of them were my old time farmer friends These were Mary Jones. Mice Hitching. Janice Henry, Lva Bernard. nna Beck. Helen May. Martha Buorkle. “Do you do this for a living? I asked. O. no. only on holidays. Saturdays and Sundays, and I must say it helps a poor school teacher out.” This from Jane. Well. I'm tired after a night like that, and anyway there are two stories worth at least part of a front page. foundry 1 36— I certainly have been busy M grandchildren won't have many pointers. I fear. Hubert and I went to the Majestic last night There we found Harry Whilehill up to his old tricks, selling tickets. The new mystery play. The Dog and the Raven ' sequel to the Cat and the Canary. was on the bill. Tony Kilbcrt took the part of the villian. while Mademoiselle Miriam McGarrah was the heroine. Miss llulda Gibson came out between acts to electioneer for Rosana Dugan, who is running for mayor on the Progressive ticket. Hubert again spied some friends and left me flat. When he came back, he told me he had been talking to Mrs. Stewart, formerly Dot Klink. and Mrs. de Chaunccy. nee l.leanor Turner Mrs. dc Chaunccy was stopping with Mrs Stewart for a few days before starting her lecture tour. January 21. I° 6— The boss said I was a credit to my training, and to my parents This is for the benefit of the readers. s a result. Hubert and I were delegated to attend the biggest event of the year, the Annual Gymnastic Exhibit Nora I pton. l Dunn and Joe Carroll, three former students of the dear Alma Mater, covered themselves with glory. I gave them a big write-up. Hubert fell for the tight rope walker, lie would, he’s that type. January 2-1, 1936— We saw our old crony. John Graham. Superintendent of Schools, today. He showed us his office and offered us each a position. While we were there. Ted called and wanted some meat for supper. So Hubert ran out and bought him his favorite dish. Hamburg steak. January 26, 1936— Well. I got another story for our Town Tattler . A Big Riot in Town Today! The Irish Cause is At Hand! Miss Edith l.aird. a champion of the cause, broke the traffic rules, mounted the soap box, and proclaimed the freedom of the race. Virginia Williams, noted contralto singer, passed the hat for the lady One hundred dollars were collected. The traffic policeman broke up the party and helped Miss Laird to the sidewalk. Miss Helen Curry has entered our midst Slippery Rock is stepping into the newspaper business—thanks to Dr Blaisdell. the Slippery Rocket and the Saxigena If. as Hubert’s grandfather say s, this diary will go down in the annals of history.— Slippery Rock will come to the fore, and when I am president. I shall look this diary over and review the steep road by which I climbed to success. S«-vv my-four Scvcntv-fivc Junior Class History 1st Act Curtain rises to music. Cast of characters are all young and inexperienced; in other words they are Juniors. The first act does not make a very big “hit because of the participants and the way in which they deliver their parts. What more can be expected from such youthful players? They have just come on the stage for has it not been said. All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players? At last the first act of the “Play of Life is at an end. It seems it was only last night that they struggled with each other through the fog that hung so dense over them. And yet it seems ages ago that they chanced upon the prison-shaped caves, crouched at Slippery Rock, and discovered that in reality they were men and women. Some would have liked to have evaded these buildings, while others hailed them with joy. But those who would have evaded them, they clutched by the arm and now they are Juniors of Slippery Rock State Norman School. They will not speak of their dreaded studies which they cannot realize to be the most important factor of their lives, but they will speak of their social activities. With the coming of the I acuity. V. W. C. A. and V. M. C A. Reception to Students, they become more intimately acquainted w ith their fellow classmen, the second-year Juniors, and their dictators, the faculty. Then comes the happiest, jolliest and best time of the school year, the Junior Party. Its gay streamers, colors, balloons, feminine and masculine resplendency, and dancing make it a time not easily to lx- forgotten. They must bill farewell to the Seniors for they are about to leave them. 1 he Junior-Senior Party given by the Juniors bids them good-luck and a warm farewell. As we draw the curtain.

Honor her. for she is mighty! Honor her. for she is ours!” With the thought of improving the present the Health IZducalion freshies of '23 arrived at Slippers Rock, the group was small, yet our interest, vivacity, and pep compensated for the lack of numbers. We were made to feel at home in the department by the upper classmen at the health education picnic, where in spite of the drizzling rain we built a lire, cooked our dinner, and then sang and played games until darkness called us back to the school. 1’his initiation sent us back with increased interest in our work. Here Miss I lowland toiled patiently with the girl to convince them that right was right and left was left, and that some day they would lx able to stay on the balance beams if they persevered. In like manner. Dock Lenhardt developed the boys into a fine group of gymnasts. All honor is accorded to the instructors who did their best to develop the other side in the theory classes. And then with what apprehension we approached the Demonstration! This black monster loomed over us for many weeks, only to disappear in the glory of a feat well done—for it was a success! Before we were well aware of it we were in our second year, although somewhat diminished in number. But that the old pep was still present was shown at the annual picnic where we helped the new freshies find their niche in the school. Their real initiation took place at the Kiddie Party”, a new feature instituted by Miss Stern, who now presided over the gym class. The demonstration to us as juniors spelled only work and the wishes that we, loo. were seniors. The social activities were few but the studies many, and so the time passed rapidly, and we returned once more, bearing the dignified name of “Senior . The annual picnic, the health education party, this time in the guise of a farmer and farmerette hoe-down, and the demonstration were supplanted by a little surprise party for Mr. and Mrs. Christian, our newlyweds. And now. equipped with the knowledge gained through three years of work and play together, we sail forth upon the sea of life, each bearing the good wishes of the other and leaving at Slippery Rock State Normal School the memory of a class always true, always loyal to its Alma Mater. Kighly Health Education Department Forward March! What is this clatter of feet and the barking of commands? Alas! the doors are thrown open and before you stand the Health Education teachers of our future schools; for every Junior High School and High School will require their services for the up-building of future citizens. The Health Education Course is comparatively in an embryonic stage of development at Slippery Rock State Normal School, being introduced as a special course only six years ago. It has grown steadily. Starting with a graduating class of three students, it has grown at present to a graduating class of twenty-one students, and a department of one hundred and ten students. The majority of the male membership of the student body is found in the Health Education Department, they furnishing the greater part of the nucleus of our athletic teams in all branches of sport. We must not forget our Health Education girls, because they have been responsible for much of our success in girls’ athletics. When the seniors leave, they will be closely followed in their footsteps by our on-coming Junior and Freshman Health Education students, for they carry with them a wealth of material for our athletic teams. As the hour glass sifts its sands of Time, we find the Health Education Department enjoying a healthy growth. With the establishment of a summer camp and the course undergoing a complete evolution, more, better, and greater things are expected of this youthful profession. Highly •! wo The Junior High School Department Slippery Rock State Normal School had in its curriculum a two year course in the junior high school work, following much the same plan as the work for the other three groups. In 1022 a three year course was inaugurated. This means that those who entered the normal school for the first time in the fall of Ic 22 wishing to take junior high school work must complete three years work instead of two. Each student is asked at the end of the first semester to choose his group. Those who choose the junior high school must select a major and a minor subject, fifteen hours of electives in the major field and twelve in the minor are required. At the completion of the course the student is qualified to teach in the fields he has chosen in the junior high school, or he may teach in any grades below that standard. If twelve hours of electives are taken in one of the fields the student is qualified to teach that subject in senior high school. These twelve hours must be over and above the one hundred and twenty hours required for graduation. The fields now open for specialization are science, mathematics. English, social studies, and foreign language. The latter has not been much in demand at our normal school so far. I he demand for the present junior high school course grew out of the rapidly growing departmentalization in many of the school systems. It is believed that training in a more specialized field will assure better prepared teachers. A committee on the revision of the normal school curricula is planning, among other things, a four year course for the junior high school group as well as for the other groups. It is hoped that this course may be worked out fully enough that it may be announced at the beginning of the school year, 1926-1027. The three year course will be offered after the other is introduced. A degree in education will be granted to those completing the four Near course, and Slippery Rock State Normal School will be a teacher’s college. The enrollment in this course has never been large for various reasons, mainly, that it is new. In 1024 two persons who had taken another year beyond the two year course graduated. The graduates of 192? numbered eleven, and the enrollment in 1026 is as follows: first year, sixteen: second Near, fifteen: and third year, or senior year, sixteen. We are striving toward a goal which will result in efficient, properly trained school teachers who will have administrative powers to raise curricular activity to its highest level in the junior high school.

The season ended with the team winning four games, tieing two games, and losing three games. The lirst game was played at Alliance. Ohio, with Mt. I nion College. This resulted in a score of 15-0 with S. R on the small end. The Carnegie l ech Plebs handed the team a defeat at Slippery Rock by a score of 6-34. Our boys went to play Cortland Normal at Cortland. New York, and due to severe weather conditions we lost b the small score of 2-0. The team won from Rdinboro Normal by a score of 25-0. St. Vincent's College played a scoreless tie with the Green and W hite warriors. The next three games resulted in victories from West Liberty Normal. W . a., by a score of 19-0: Westinghouse l ech, by a score of 4-0; and from Grove City Reserves 19-0. The final game with California Normal was scoreless. The student body is to he congratulated on the way it backed the team in the worst weather. “That's the old pep. S. R.!“ Captain Schade proved very successful as a leader and a general on the gridiron. Those men who have rendered their services for several years and who will be lost by graduation are: Charles Schade. Albert Dunn. Alexander DellaValle. Marry W hitehill, Clarence Metzger. John Graham. Joe Carroll. John Mixer, and I lubert Jack. Coach Thompson is to be congratulated on the way he developed these warriors from a squad which consisted of many green men. We all hope that our team next year will again plunge right into the light and carry old S. R. on to glory and victory. Kight ‘� cight N. K.

I I RRY Y'lllTEHlLL End W bitie” W’hitie is the boy with long arms that could get almost impossible forward passes and long legs which could carry the ball swiftly over the goal line. We are certain that “Whitey” will reach the goal line in life. John Graham Tackle Johnnie I hey sav that good things come in small packages Well, so does poison, and Johnnie surely was poison to all his opponents. Before the game started John's opponent would look over at the wee boy and say. Well’ I’ll have it soft today.” but before the game was over he would be willing to admit that he had quite a bit more to handle than he expected. John, t«x . bids adieu to us this year. Ninety-one Edward Taylor Guard l:d. Meet Edward Taylor, captain-elect for next vear Ed. is most deserving of this honor, for he has played on the team for four years, and each year he lias proved capable of holding down his position, lid. has always proved to he too much for his opponents. Good luck, Ed. and mav vou bring the State Crown to S. R. again!

Raymond Ralston Guard Hig Hoy We thought that we had lost Ralston, for he enrolled at Grove City College. He preferred S R to college, however, and this brought great rejoicing in the camp ot the local griddcrs. Ralston sure is a tower of strength on the line and when the opponents hit him, they thought they hail hit a stone wall. Though playing with a bad knee all year. Ralston s playing was of the best at all times. Charles I mm Quarter—End Chuck Chuck is another small bov but lie more than made this up by his aggressiveness. Chuck was a bearcat on the offense.

About thirty-live boys reported and they worked in earnest. After working hard for several weeks the first game was played with Butler High. December 11 at home. It was a good game and the boys came out with 4 points to Butler’s 18. Three days later the Green and White traveled to Butler, here to meet a stronger team on their own lloor. Butler fought hard but were not able to get ahead. The score ended 3 3-2 A These two games gave Coach a chance to observe the boys in action and to choose a varsity team. On December 22 the team traveled to Alliance. Ohio, to meet Mi. I nion. who proved too much and the game ended 43-21 in Mt. Union’s favor. fter vacation the first game was played at California. Our boys played a good game, but were not able to overcome California's lead. It was a hard game to lose, but the boys kept up heart an.I traveled to West Liberty only to be beaten in the last few minutes by a 16-33 score. Growing tired of losing luck the team got together and by splendid team work easih defeated Thiel Reserves 43-lb. few davs later they met the strong Kiski five and in a fast game came out ahead 23-20.' Clarion Normal was the scene of the next struggle. This was a victory for S. R.. the tilt ending 42-21. At Geneva the old hoo-doo started following the boys again and they lost 31-18 after putting up a splendid battle. February 2 Ldinboro visited S. R. and alter a fast, exciting game carried home a score 30 to our 18. One of the largest crowds of the season attended this game. Ldinboro bringing with them a crowd of followers. The next game was played at Kent Normal where by a few lucky shots Kent carried off the victory. California played a return game here February 19. Our boys played good, clean basketball, but the visitors proved too strong and scored 41 to our 23 points. In the next game a change in the lineup was made which was for the better. The team met West Liberty and handed them a 35-26 defeat. At Ldinboro the Red and White again won by a 41-2 3 score. I hey had a good team and deserve credit. I he boys got under way again and in the last two games at home with Clarion and Kent easily carried off the honors. Summing it up, the season was not such a roaring success, but whenever and wherever the team played they gave all they had. I hey fought every minute they were in action and no game was lost except to a team that was better or had more experience. Coach Thompson and the boys deserve a lot ol credit lor the coaching anil playing that was done during the season. ■M'- 'i.«n Coach Thompson The success in athletics has been chiell due to the hard work and capability of Coach Thompson, lie is a competent coach and it is through his untiring efforts that the team has had such a successful season Coach works harder than anv of the bovs. always devising new methods and plays. He is a good, all around fellow and deserves a lot of credit for the way in which he coached and let! the team through this year's victories and defeats. Marry Whitehill Captain—Guard Whitey” has played three years of real basketball for S K He has played forward, ('.enter and guard so can tell one all the fine points of the game. The first of the year Whitey jumped center, but was later shifted to guard, lie made Ins opponents hustle to get away from him and was a whiz at making field goals as well as shooting fouls Whitey graduates and it will be hard to find a player to take his place. Joe Carroll Forward 'Thcv have to hand it to Joe. when it comes to basketball, for he surely can play. He is a good fellow who is always in the foreground ready to assist in any way possible. He rivaled lightning speed when it came to floor work and could block passes or dribbles easily. Joe was a willing, consistent player as well as a good shot. Graduation takes Joe. so here’s wishing him luck. Albert Dunn Student Manager Here’s to Al”. our manager. Al was always on deck ready to do his bit helping to make our team, as well as the visitors, comfortable. He kept the basketball affairs going and acted as official score-keeper. Al” is a real business manager. He graduates in June and we will lose an old reliable stand-by. Xinciy � ix r ( j.ARhNCI: MliTZGER Guard Pla from the word go”.—that was Metz” With him in the game the Green ami White was sure to make a g mkI showing. Metz was always sure to make at least one long shot in the game, as well as dropping a lew fouls through when he got the chance. Graduation takes Met . after three years of clean, steady playing. Good luck. Met We know you will Ih? a leader. Nei.s Kruger Forward “Swede is one of the fellows who helped make basketball a success this season lie played many clever games, showing the fans what real speed in basketball was. Ilis ability as a player is known to all Swede rolled in his share of the points in our games and could plav a real, steady game with the best of them Swede” will he with us next year and we feel that he will be the mainstay of the team. Joe Barnett Center Joe is a new mart this year. He did not get his chance until the season was well started hut ne took it when it came. We can a he is the best pivot a team ever had. Joe is a perfect shot and caged many a basket in the last few games, by always being on the alert. Here's hoping he is with us next year Cass McMahon Guard You've got to hand it to Cass He was a hard working fellow, always willing and ready. He did his share when called upon. He is small in size, but he had the greatest consistent and could lit in with the biggest of the fellowv He shot as accurately as he could pass. Ilis abilitv to do things should make him a valuable player next year X inelysevon Baseball Review The baseball season of the spring of 1925 was very successful. Out of 15 games played 11 were won. Many fast ball clubs were tackled among which were Kiski. California and St. Vincents. Harry W hitehill was the main stand-b) on the pitching staff with Ripper and Glenn as his assistants. The infield consisted of Schink. Johnson. Metzger, and Berkman. while Sundae held the backstop job. being relieved at times by Palmer. In the outfield was McKee. Capt. Ammon, and Gordon; Graham was the utility man for the outfield positions. The team excelled with the stick, and when runs were needed they always came through. They played an offensive game very well, always topping the mark. Robert McKee was elected captain for the season of 1926. and it is hoped that he will bring the boys through a successful season. So far our boys have an enviable record. 1926 Schedule .S'. R. Oppoiw Apiil 16—West Liberty 8 .. 0 April 17—West Liberty 12 0 April 24—| hie!

Cottrell Manager Mr. Cottrell came to the front as an efficient manager of baseball as well as of football, lie was always on the job. always ready to aid when help was needed. t all times, he had the welfare of the hoys in mind, regardless of his own condition. We are sure that having Mr Cottrell as our manager has helped greatly in making our Slippery Rock boys favorably known in far-reaching athletic circles. nc Itumircd 1 2 J6 I I RRY WtllTEHILL Pitcher Whitey' Whitey was the main twirler of the pitching staff. When he would stretch out his long arms that was enough for the batter. He hail lots of control, a good curve, anil a change of pace that bewildered his opponents. Alexander Deli.a Vai.le Catcher Sundae Sundae , the all-round athlete, was the one to take the abuses of the pitchers. Whether winning or losing, one could always see Sundae's smile. He was good in keeping up the morale of the team. Clarence Metzger Second Base Met(’ Met held the keystone position and with Sundaes assistance many a man was put out at second. Mel excels in completing double plays, and as a batter he is just as good as any man who has ever played this position for the Green and White. )ne hundred one D Albert Dunn Short Stop Al ' held down one of the busiest positions on the team, lie was a big factor in making double plays due to his good throwing arm. Ask Al which arm it was. It seems to us it was both of them. “Al played baseball as he plays everything else—with the best of his ability and with results that were far reaching. We know that “Al will play the game ol life in the very same way. William Palmer Utility liiir Palmer was the all around man on the team. He caught and played second base and coached on first and third. Bill was always on hand when the crucial point arose. Great things are expected from him next year.

They were immediately put to work, those new to the game in one group, and the old players in another. After several days of instruction and practice they were grouped together and scrimmage began. Prom this large group a squad of twenty-five was chosen. On October 2) before a large crowd of S. R rooters, the girls opened their season by easily defeating Thiel l)-0. Most of the playing was done in Thiel s territory. and the girls made every minute count. The California Hockey Cirls invaded S. K. on November 6 to try for a victory. I’hey were determined to break S. R.'s record, but the girls of the Green and White were equally determined and trounced them 8-0. Clarion came here November 7 only to be greeted by a rain storm and muddy field, so the game was officially called off bv the referee. Then came the never-to-be-forgotten trip to California. November 10. The girls proved their ability to play as efficiently on a foreign field as on their own field. California scored two goals to S. R.'s one in the first quarter, but our girls soon recovered from their bewilderment and put seven goals through the next three quarters. The game ended 8-2. I’he girls had many interesting experiences as well as an exciting game on this two-day sojourn. On the return trip they visited Pitt to see several inter-class games. The hardest fought game was at Greenville. November 14. when the girls were beaten by Thiel. 1-0. This is the only defeat handed our girls in four years. l he played hard but were playing against adverse luck and a good team. The last game of the season was played at Clarion. November 18. As this was the last game for many of our girls, and to redeem themselves for their defeat, they played a fast and splendid game easily carrying home a score of l -0. This year our team surpassed any of preceding years, and Miss Stern was commended many times for her team's clever pass work. The long, daily practice periods in the open air contributed much to the lively spirits of the girls and enjoyment of the sport. Much credit is due to the members of the squad for the training and practice given the varsity girls during the season. There is good material with which to start an enthusiastic season next fall, so with some new material. S. R. may look forward to another successful season.

Determination, will power, and perseverance. has carried the team through a most successful season.

Coach Stern is noted on the campus for other than a g xxl coach—that of an all-around sport Me wish her all the luck in the world next year and ma she be successful in the world of sport in the years to come. Virginia Stevenson Captain Ginny plaved her last season of hockey for Slippery Kock this year. This veteran has been an outstanding star for the last two seasons and helped lead the team to fame and many victories She not only fed the forward line but helped them by driving a goal through now and then. Her opponents knew better than to interfere when she had the ball Ginny” had the honor of being the captain of the team, an honor of which she is well deserving, and a position she ably filled. Katherine (‘rawford Right Inside Kate played right inner, and left little to be desired by the coach. She could be counted on at all times, and especially when near the goal she was almost certain to drive it through. I bis is her second year on the forward line, and she proved to be of sterling quality. Kate is a good lighter and is well deserving of the captain’s berth for next year Mary Glenn Student Manager The little things, but those that mean much to a team, were taken care of by Mary. She proved to ho a willing and a steadfast worker. Mary always did that which counted most in making everyone comfortable. She was not only manager but helped the team by filling in at practice Mary will accomplish big things some day with her capable manner and business ability. One hundred six i 1 2 JG Rosas Due an Right Pullback Roxie lost no time in knocking the b; ll out of the danger one livery move was for the good of the team. Never has she misjudged her aim or lost time in getting the hall out of sight. Her clever stick made each hit mean something to the Green and White She was calm and well-liked by her team. Rosana will be graduated this spring with a rep'’ worth while We are hoping that her future holds the success she ha' had here. Helen Curry Right Pullback You've got to hand it to Helen. She was right there with the goods. She could play either right or left fullback and go into the game at any time, getting into the midst of things. Helen made her opponent know what opposition was. as she was a scrapper and refused to allow her over the twenty-live yard line. She was a clever, hard working player, always willing and consistent This is also Helen's last year to play hocke for Slippery Rock, anil we wish her success. Eleanor Turner Left Wing Although small in stature. Pleanor proved to be a tower of strength at the left wing. This was her first year at hockey, hut she made quite a record for herself as a dribbler and could not he surpassed when carrying the hall past the backfield of the opponent. Eleanor not only made her share of the points but displayed great defense She played a quick, scrappy game. and. as she graduates this year, it will be hard to find another like her to fill this berth. Genevieve Canon Center I lalf Jane , our center half, has finished her career as an all around athlete at Slippery Rock, a credit to herself and our school. She could always be counted on. and when she was in the game the student hodv always felt Confident that the Green and White could only he defeated by the hardest of lighting, and that there was a good chance of winning the game. Jane surelv could hit that ball, and if near the goal drove it straight through without any interference. All supporters of old S. R. are sorry to see commencement take Janey . One hundred seven ■ H.mi i.ia Stulginski Goal Our goal keeper. She claimed she hail little to ilo and gave all credit to the rest of the team, but you should see her in the midst of things. The opposing team usually stepped aside when I melia began She could wield her stick and use both feet at once very cleverly. o wonder the opponents of the .Green and White got yen’ few through the goal. s in everything else we felt we could depend on l-.melia. With commencement S K will lose a real athlete. Here's wishing her success Dorothy Kkisur Kiglu Wing t right wing we found Dot always steady, consistent and reliable. She was always there, ready to get that ball and carry it toward the goal. Dot could lx- counted on to do her best when in the tighest place l ight from the word go—that was Dot Mthough out on the wing she made her share of goals, and we know she will do the same in her future work Here's to “Dot”! 1’i.oY Putman Center Putty is deserving oi all the praises that may come her wav. for it was she who started the ball toward the goal in every game. She tilled the center position, and as the pivot of her team showed tight and proved to be a tighter at all times. Putty” kept her eye on the hall and never missed a chance to get .1 swat at it or drive one over. She is a senior and graduates this spring, and we wish her luck. One hundred eight Jean McClung Left Lull buck I he best thing we can sav abounl Jean is that she will he back next year. She played the left fullback position and did it well Jean is noted as a heavy hitter, and when she hit the ball we knew that all was well. She played a great defensive game, and wv expect much of Jean in the future. Ill-I.EN I I'TON Right Half Helen is our right half, and a better one could not be found to till this position. She plays hockey with the same determination and light that she does everything else I lelen fitted in fine on all occasions and could be depended upon to back the forward line at all times This is her first year on the varsity, and she played the game from start to finish and should prove a valuable player for next year. Alice Kelly Left Inside “Kelly” came to us two years ago and is still going strong. As a vet Irom last year a left inner, she kept the ball rolling. When she got the bail and started to dribble down the held with one hand, her opponent had no chance. She has speed and a knack ol handling the stick cleverly. These qualities make her a valuable asset to the team. We know she will keep up the good work, and next year we hope that she will lx- able to win more laurels lor S. K. inc tiinnlrcd nine Girl’s Basketball Review The Monday following Thanksgiving vacation found a notice calling for basketball candidates. A small army appeared, but Miss Matheny soon put them all to work. The fourth day the squad was cut from sixtv-live to thirty-five and by the end of the week to twenty-four. The second week the work began in earnest, and pass work and accuracy in shooting were the chief aim. Illness and accidents diminished the squad from twenty-four to but twelve or thirteen players. Although working under difficulties Miss Matheny had her team ready to appear on the floor for the opening tilt. The season was opened auspiciously on January 15, w hen the team went forth and met the strong Thiel sextette at Greenville. The game was one of the fastest ever played on a college floor. It was nip and tuck from start to finish and although our team lost in the last few minutes b but four points, the score being 26-30. they lelt they had played a good game. from Greenville the girls journeyed to Indiana. They made up for the loss to Thiel by trouncing Indiana. 51-6. On January 23. the squad traveled to W estminster. Before our vigorous attack W estminster fell, losing by a score of 2-1-10. The following Saturday the team added to its victories by defeating Clarion. The girls made their first appearance on the home court by meeting and defeating lidinboro. 30-14. on February 3. This game was rather slow as our girls completely outplayed the visitors. February 12. the girls again traveled, this time to visit their old rivals. California. They had no trouble coming out in the lead, the score being 35-21. The following Thursday they again met Westminster, this time at home. The game ended 30-8 in favor of the Green and White. California was received here February 27 and was again forced to surrender to Slippery Rock's superiority in pass work and skill in caging field goals. The final score stood 44-20. The most exciting and best game of the season was the second clash with Thiel. This time it was on S. R.'s floor. large crowd attended and plenty of spirit was shown by the followers of both teams. The outstanding feature was the excellent pass work exhibited on both sides throughout the struggle. Although the score 17-20 stood against us in the end. we really did not feel the girls had lost this hard fought game. The last trip for the girls was made to Hdinhoro, March 6. and resulted in another victory for them. The final score was 24-6. The following week closed the season when the girls met Clarion and Indiana, March I2th-I3th. Both these games were interesting although the scores may not indicate as much. Clarion lost 55-15. while Indiana got but 11 to our 48 points. Miss Matheny and the girls were well pleased with the outcome of the season, and feel sure they can do even better next year. The student body greatly enjoyed the games and are anxiously looking forward to next year’s basketball season. One hundred ten SH iiGjensr Kathryn Matheny Coach l or the second year S R had the good fortune of having Mi $ Mathcnv coach our basketball team. She succeeded admirably although for a while she worked under handicaps. Miss Matheny knows basketball through and through, and she puts it in practice as is shown by our excellent team This year Coach Mathcnv turned out one of the best teams in this section of the country. I'his is a record of which any coach may be proud. She is just as good a sport on the campus as in the gym and we are proud of her IEmema Stulginski Capt.—Center I'his is our center. She gets the opponents worried front the first minute of play. She gets awav from her opposing player easily and sends the ball down to the forwards Her opponent cannot very well get a ball past her as Hmelia with Helen, her center partner, are always on the alert. They proved their ability in the I hiel game when they did such wonderful guarding and jumping Hmelia is a senior and will graduate in June, so here is wishing her luck. Nora I p ros Student Manager When it was found Nora couldn't ola basketball this year because of an injured knee, she was appointed student manager. She proved she could help her team just as much as if she were on the floor Her duty was to see that everything was in readiness for the team and t« keep score at the games Nora did these things in an efficient, business-like manner We are sure it will take some time to find a person who can capably (ill the niche which Nora leaves by graduation. Otic lunxlrol twelve Jane Canon I'orward Jane holds the rep of being one of the fastest and best shots who ever represented S. R. on the basketball court. Site fools the audience as the game start.% because she looks so calm and composed, but just watch her when the ball pets in her territory. Jane was sure to roll one in whether or not her guard was on the alert. She not only has the ability to shoot accurately but is a good passer as well. This is Jane's second and last year to wear a Green and White uniform but we feel sun. she will do just as well in her coaching next year as she has done in playing. Helen Curry Side Center Helen plays in the center with I melia She is one of the fastest players in this section. Helen plays around her opponents like a whirlwind and is noted for her ability to jump and pass. I he ball never gets past her no matter how high it may be thrown for she is right there every time. She has played consistently at all times this war. and we felt we could always depend upon Helen. She is the third member of our team who will graduate this year and the team loses a good player. (ini' liuintml thirtri'ii 2.J SmiZZATl Dorothy Keiser Guard Dot has played two years for S. K so we knew what to expect from her She did not disappoint us either, for Dot's” forwards in the first four games did not make any baskets. She has the playing spirit and gets there even time. She and Sal made a good team and their passing proved to be excellent. “Dot” i a good guard and caused many a forward to lose a shot by the quick interference and close guarding. This ends Dot's” career as a player for the Green and Whits, as she also graduates in June. Helen Upton Forward The other forward position is held down by Helen. She and Jane made a wonderful pair of forwards. Helen has done her share of the scoring not onl bv held goals but by her tou shooting. A guard has a hard time keeping up. as she starts to play around and work toward the basket. Helen has a good eye for both shinning and passing. She has another year, and we know she will continue her good work in the basketball world. One hundred fourteen 1 1 2 Tb Sarah Harms Guard “Sal is a newcomer this year, but she soon made herself known by her ability as a basketball player. She shares the guarding honors with Dot . . She is a fast, alert player anil is able boih to guard and pass accurately. She proved to the Thiel forwards they were up against a good team when playing the S R. girls. Sal is a freshman this year so we expect great things from her in the next two years M R(� ARF.T KshPSIMUl.l) Guard At any time “Peg was ready to step in and take the place of “Sal” or Dot”, and she did it well She also is new this year but she soon became known, by her splendid systematic guarding which helped S. R. win fame. “Peg” can pass and guard very well. We feel sure she can be depended upon to keep a winning team representing the Green and While for the next two years.

The interest manifested by all the girls of the school has been unusual, making possible the interesting program of 1925-26. The spirit of the organization symbolized in the blue triangle was first brought before the new girls at a beautiful candle light service held on the campus. This same spirit has been made to live and grow among our student body through a series of discussions held on Wednesday evening and conducted by the girls. The annual bazaar was a successful affair, and one at which every one had a very good time. In order to raise money for establishing a library in the dormitory a tea dance was given on a Saturday afternoon in the gym. much to the delight of all the students.

I he camp is situated about three miles from the school. A grove of trees furnished excellent shelter for the tents, and Slippery Rock Creek supplied the water necessary for sw imming and canoeing. Nineteen students, three of the school faculty, and an excellent cook comprised the camp membership. The camp extended over a period of six weeks. During this time classes in nature studs' were conducted by l)r. Waldron, in camp craft by Mr. Cottrell, and in swimming and scouting by Miss Matheny and Mr. Cottrell. Leisure hours were taken up with hikes and picnics, and the evenings were a lasting source of pleasure with stunts, songs, and camp fires always kept burning. A regular program was followed each day. Visitors were always welcome when the students were free. To give all some experience in camp management, it was arranged that each one should take charge of all camp activities for one day. officiating under the title of Officer of the Day.

It is not a matter of red cheeks, red lips, and supple knees: it is a quality of imagination, a temper of the will, a vigor of emotions. It is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity. of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living a few years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, hut to give up your enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear, and despair, these are the long. Ion years that bow the heart and turn the grieving spirit back to dust. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and star-like things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing child-like appetite for what next, and the joy of the game of living. You are as young as your faith, as old as your fears; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of your heart is an evergreen tree; its name is Love. So long as it flourishes you are young. When it dies you are old. In the central place of your heart is a wireless station. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, grandeur, courage, and power from God and from your fellowmen. so long are you young. One hundred forty-eight C. O. I BF.R J. I:.
