It is the one piece of work that we looked forward to from the first time we entered this institution of higher education. What ambitions to become Seniors—what air castles—what high hopes and ideals—yet it seemed just an evolutionary period in our life. Some days and weeks were long, others were shorter, but the majority of entrants survived and we arc now peeping into an inevitable era of our life history. It would be folly to state that our class above all others was an example of perfection, sufficient it is to say that our class was a natural group of individuals. Wc sought labor or we would not have entered school, wc had our fun when it was to be had, seasoned our school career with a little trouble, here and there, and what is the result? We feel that old man experience offered us an extra-curricular course that wasn't listed in the catalogue. He taught us to trust, guard, and protect those faiths, hopes, fears, and friendships and we have “fought a good fight. As embryo educators we must profit by thoso contacts with faculties and students which have been ours without asking for the past two and three years. Wc have earned and learned lessons that cannot be erased from our beings, and who wants to lose them? We can summarize our class history by merely saying that wc have “partaken” of the class calendar and can crown it with “success. Our girls have outnumbered the boys of the class, but they made good use of their number in their co-operative efforts to make every enterprise of the class a marked success. We cannot for a moment forget the efforts of our boys and their tasks of duty. Their grit and “stick-to-gethcrness was purposeful and decisive. weathering the group across many a rough crossing. To summarize—let us thank our State, our parents, our school and our friends for their provision in helping us to gain a foothold on the ladder of life.

The officers elected were as follows: President, Leo Harold; Vice President, John Hogg; Secretary. Reha Graham; Treasurer, Harry Duff. Miss Bruckheimer was elected the faculty adviser. In order to avoid election of chairmen for each activity, chairmen of the following committees were clctcd to serve for the entire year: entertainment, Edith Powell; decoration, Betty Mills; refreshment, Ray Adams; advertisement, Dick Smith. The class chose blue and white as their colors, and the white rose as their flower. An appropriate motto has not yet been found for the class. The few activities held by the class have been highly successful. On February 1( the first sophomore party was held in the gymnasium, and was crowned with success. On March 18 the class presented “The New Slippery Rocket in the chapel before a filled house. The entertainment was enjoy e } immensely because of its originality and humor. The class was well represented in all of the sports. After the regular basketball season ended, inter-class teams were formed and the sophomore teams went into the finals and were defeated by the strong freshman teams. Kiobtt-Fjvb ©I AUTOQRAPHS Kjohtv-Six Kioiri v-Skvks Freshman Class Picture the first of the school year and a class of over two hundred he heard misdirecting another, while the kind hearted faculty looked on freshmen entering Slippery Rock. In the confusion one lost freside could and excused mistakes. That these mistakes might he less, the class was divided into groups, each with a faculty adviser. This gave the class a feeling that the school was really interested in its success. Football season was the Freshmen's first triumph. (The class was well represented on the team.) Initiations served their purpose in creating class spirit. One freshman had sympathy with another after he had dragged a mattress up the hill to the laundry. Girls in the dormitories became friends after “running the gauntlet together. Sophomores and Freshmen showed their spirit of rivalry by their competitive raising of mustaches, less united by classes and school interests, but still unorganized. Dr. All this time the Freshman class was made up of individuals more or Eisenberg called a Freshman meeting, where, officers were elected. The class then became a unit with Dr. Waldron as its adviser. Basketball season found both Freshman boys and girls making themselves invaluable on the varsity teams. Their ability gives promise of more successful seasons in basketball and football. At the close of the first semester Dr. Waldron resigned as faculty adviser, and Mr. Vincent was chosen in his place. He was elected just in time to help plan for the big event of the year—the Freshman party. An artistic decorating committee transformed the gymnasium into a bower of beauty for the party, which was in the nature of an informal dance. Eager members of the two classes concerned look forward to an equally good time at the Senior-Freshman party. One triumph leads to another, and this party promises to be the climax of a successful social year. Spring has come to find the Freshmen feeling at home on the campus and in their classes. With laurels in athletics and main evidences of scholarship, we promise to be worthy successors of the brilliant Sophomore class of this year. a Hurrah for th( f reshmen and friends they have made! f or the Green and the White! f or the game they have played!

Each year this department grows larger and larger. This course was introduced at Slippery Rock only seven years ago. The first graduating class had but three members, and now the department will graduate twenty eight members. The freshman class this year is the largest in the history of the department. Next year the three-year course enters into its demise, and the new four-year course with the bachelor's degree in physical education takes its place. rite department has enjoyed a most successful year in every waj. They worked hard and played hard in anything they undertook. The picnic last tall, and the kid party in the winter demonstrated how well they can play. The demonstration held early in April showed what work they can accomplish. This year’s graduating class is the largest in the history of the institution, and the size of the lower classes promises even larger graduating classes in the future. We seniors, who leave this year, will be with our department in everything it attempts, and leave with our old classmates and friends our most sincere wishes for success. Bffi Ni.vkty-Tiikkk NniniT r ii.'N SK.VIOK HKAJ.TII Ktll'CATION CI.ASS I Ni.vkty-Kivk e| AUTOQRAPHS }0 Nin'KTY-Six The Junior High School Department The junior high school department has been undergoing many changes in the last few years. It started as a two-year course, following much the same plan as the other three courses. In 1 22 a three-year course was inaugurated, and in the fall of 1 26, the school was given power to grant degrees in a four-year junior high school course. Each student is asked at the end of the first semester to choose Ingroup. 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 hours 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 grade below that standard. If twelve hours of electives are taken in one of the fields, the student is qualified to teach that subject in the senior high school. These twelve hours must be over and above the 120 hours required for graduation. The fields now open for specialization are science, mathematics, Knglish. and social studies. The demand for the present junior high school course grew out of the rapidly growing departmentalization in most of the school systems. It is believed that training in a more specialized field will assure better prepared teachers. We are striving toward a goal w hich w ill result in efficient, properly-trained teachers, who will have administrative powers to raise curricular activity to its highest level in the junior high school. Ni.vktv-Skvkx an wa-iuni.v Football Season Football, the game of brains and brawn was played in a most successful manner last fall at Slippery Rock. The season ended with but one defeat, one tic, seven victories, and the State championship to Slippery Rock's credit. Slippery Rock had probably the best team in her history during this season. The team was made up of eleven men that co-operated like one gigantic machine, each man playing his part and playing it well. The rhythm demonstrated by each play would make any university envious. A truly great football man once said. “A team is as strong as its scrubs.'’ Slippery Rock was gifted with excellent substitute material. They were well able to replace any varsity man at any time the occasion demanded. Slippery Rock feels proud of these stalwart warriors, who, without reward, went out every afternoon and stood up against the terrifice onslaughts of the varsity. Some of these noble substitutes were Kernan, Dcitrich, Dickson, Monaca, McKee. Barnett, Gumbert, Pepc, White, McCullough, Lynch, Everett, Brooks, Meg-lathery, Harrold, W. Taylor, Hetzler, Easley, and Bradley. The victorious varsity is greatly indebted to the efforts of these men. The credit for molding such a wonderful machine goes to Coaches Thompson and Cottrell. Night after night they worked in the face of many discouragements due to injuries or pepless efforts. They were the most persistent part of the machine; they sawn that the spirit of the boys never flagged in the face of defeat; they watched over the injuries, and kept perfect harmony throughout the season. Last but not least comes the varsity. After being molded by the coaches, seasoned by the scrubs, and tested by their opponents, they emerged from n gruelling season victoriously. They stood the test and came up smiling. With such men as Captain Taylor, Sager, Ralston, Fee, Pearson, Marnen, Mitchell, 1mm, Mehringer, Hartman. Storer, Adams, and Pulling, they were defeated but once, and that defeat was against the strong Mt. Union College team. Slippery Rock has probably never had a stronger defensive team. Their goal was crossed but tw ice, and their offensive led them to the normal school championship of the State. Captain Taylor and Ralston are the only members of the varsity who arc lost through graduation, and, with the great Harry Duff to lead the team next season, an even more successful season is predicted.

He was always on hand to see that the second team was as far advanced n football strategy as the first team and much credit must be given him for the success of the team. Loyal Glenn Manager “Sleepy” Our first student football manager. A great help at any time. We only hope that next seasons manager will be as good. William Storer Fullback Host game: St. Vincents Bill’ Due to injuries he was out most of the season, but while he was in there, he was surely felt by his opponents. A great defensive man and a hard smasher. Coach Thompson Another big year for the football team and this mainly through the untir n;r efforts of our great Coach. His ability to handle men was seen in every game and he taught them the value of good sportsmanship. His leadership is the kino to be envied and we maintain that Coach is “One man in a thousand.” I () 8 llrxniiKit Oxk Center Pai j. Sager Rest game: Edinboro “Tommy “Tommy” stands alone for the center position, he is the ace of all centers. Rather small to be the pivot man he made this up by his aggressiveness. A deadly tackier and a sure passer, “Tommy” has a bright future before him because he has three more years to play for the green and white. Right Guard Capt. Edward Taylor Rest game: Cortland One of the veterans, a plugger and a fighter throughout the season. We lose him and his shoes will be hard to fill. In the Cortland game he was invincible, making the first touchdown on a fumble. We wish him success in the coaching field, and if his teams can be compared to his playing they will be wonder teams. Left Guard Raymond Ralston Rest game: Edinboro Ralston is a lad that has been a plugger, tackier, and all-around go-getter in football as in everything else for S. R. for a number of years. In fact, we have been so used to seeing him in there fighting, it will seem unnatural without him next year. From the stuff” Ray has shown on the gridiron we feel that he will surely reach the goal line of success in the game of life. OXK Hux� mki Two h ) Peter Fee Right Tackle Best game: Mt. Union “Pete' Our stonewall right tackle, Pete Fee, was one of the main cogs of our unpenetrable line. His size, sportsmanship and all around ability made an outstanding player. He came from California Normal, but he is now a loyal Health Ed. “Pete has another year and will be a great help for the team next fall. Harry Duff Left Tackle Best game: St. Vincents Duffy” Harry Duff, our popular captain elect for next year. “Duffy has completed his second year on our varsity and from all indications he intends to spend two more with us. He has proven to be one of the best lineman ever turned out by the school and could always be depended on to help hold up his share of the line burden. Left Knd Victor Pearson Best game: Cortland “Vic” Vic only weighs around the 150 mark though he surely makes up for it in fight. He was a scrapper among scrappers. If you remember Vic in the Cortland game stopping those big sturdy boys, there would not be the least b.t of doubt in your mind of his ability and why he was one of coaches mainstays. D O.XK IIlTXOUKK Tiimkk Right End Theodore M ar sen Best game: Carnegie Tech “Ted’ Although “Ted” was inconsistent at times, taking the season as a whole he played a bang-up game at right end. In the Tech game he was a regular demon on the offense, making the first touchdown of the season and paving the way to a victory against the strong Tech Plebes. In all likelihood he will be back at his old position of right end for the 1927 season. End Dallas Mitchell Best game: Grove City Res. “Mitch” When Vic” Pearson was injured “Mitch” was right there to take h's place. He was a good defensive end, very few of our opponents getting around that end. We are glad he has another year. Tackle Kenneth Pulling Best game: Mansfield “Ken” Playing his first year, he surely was a good man to alternate anywhere on the line. Ken will be a good man to take on one of the guard positions next year. . K IIimwkii Four Arthur Mkhrixger Half-hack Hcst game: West Liberty “Merry” He played good ball all year. “Merry” was a good ground gainer. He has three more years and great things are expected of him. N mls Kruger Quarter-back Best game: St. Vincents College “Swede” Speed and aggressiveness mixed with a good head make a football player, such is “Swede.” He is a triple threat man and to him goes a great deal of credit for the 1926 season, lie still has another year, and we wish him all the luck possible. Charles 1mm Half-back Best game: Mt. Union “Chuck A great ground gainer with a good toe. “Chuck” is an old standby, having played last season. He has two more years and we can expect great things from him. D1 OXK IICXUKKP FlVK Arthur Hartman Full-back Best game: Grove City Res. Art” A freshman showing great possibilities. Although he did not start in the lineup early in the season, when he did start he showed he had the stuff. Hartman helped prove that subs make the varsity. End William White Best game: Cortland ‘Willie” “Willie” is one of those little boys, but oh. how mighty. Quick as a flash and a sure tackier, the opposition kept their plays going somewhere else. This was his last year and we wish him much success in his work. Ray Adams Half-back Best game: Carnegie Tech “Duly” His first year playing varsity ball. “Duly was a very consistent man, not flashy but regular. He made up for his size in speed. We hope to see him with us next year. m Robert Stinson Guard Best game: Grove City Bob” Bob hailed from Darlington and showed us how they play the game down ‘the valley.” A valuable man in a pinch and one to be depended upon. TO Oxk IIuxorku Six ft Hockey Season The girls’ hockey team emerged from the season of 1926 without being defeated. Although there were only three games played, the scores show that, had there been more, the Slippery Rock lassies would probably have come out on top. In six seasons, the girls have lost onlj one game, and that by the low score of 1-0. 'This is a remarkable record in itself, but a more remarkable record which the girls hold is the Western Pennsylvania Normal School Girls Hockey Championship. They have retained this title for the six seasons they have been playing the game. The best game played this past season occurred when California Normal came to Slippery Rock on a very wet day. The field was soaked and mucky—most unfavorable conditions for playing a scientific game. Every step meant a slip or a fall, but the play was quite accurate, however, and when the final whistle blew, Slippery Rock emerged from the fray tired, happy and victorious. Captain Katherine Crawford, Eva Smith, Alice Kelly, Jemima Sutton, Mary Jane Glenn, and Helen Upton will be lost to the team next year through graduation, and will leave a large gap to be filled in the team, but the prospects for next year arc not poor, however. Some of the underclassmen who are expected to show great promise next year are Captain-elect Jerry Newton, Ruth Miller, Katherine Lang, Mary Ann Schilling, Edith Powell, Hetty Mills, Alice Dugan, Dorothy O’Connor, Dorothy Ammon, Anna Cain, and many others. Miss Stern, who has coached the girls for the last few) years deserves great credit for the teams which she has produced. Here’s to a successful season next year, and every year! OXK HuxmtED Skvkx Helen Upton .11 onager—Center Ifallback With a powerful stroke, a good eye, and the old fighting spirit, “Spuds” helped bring many victories to good old S. R. As center-half she was a whirlwind, and the opponents continually tred to keep the ball out of her reach, but were hardly successful. We wish you all the success in the world, Helen, when you get into the coaching game. Miss Minerva Stern Cooeli Miss Stern was probably the biggest reason why the hockey season was such a wonderful success. We congratulate her on her ability as a coach, her wonderful influence n driving home fighting spirit, and her impartiality toward all. May she have many more successful seasons. Katherine Crawford Captain— Kiglit I aside “Kate” is an all around hockey player, and one who is a perfect exponent of the motto, “Perserverence, determination, and will power. It will be hard to find a better captain than “Kate,” and we hope that she will have as much success in her future work as she had on the hockey field. U )N� : Hi vi m:i Xink Bf RN . ETTA NF.W ION Left Halfback “Jerry” is the girl who very se'dom allowed the ball to pass her. She’s only a freshman, but making the hockey team stamps her as an unusual player. We take our hats off to Jerry, and wish her a most successful season next year. Eva Smith Left Wing “Smitty ’ is the little girl, who kept the left alley in turmoil. “Smitty” could sneak up to the goal without her opponent knowing it and she was always there to receive a drive and tap it through for a goal. Sl ppery Rock will lose a wonderful left wing when “Smitty dons tha cap and gown. Katherine Long Left Halfback Could “Kay” hit that ball? Our goalkeeper always felt safe when “Kay kept the ball rolling the other way. She, too, is a freshman, and possesses a wicked wallop, the big factor in winning games. Let’s sec you go better than ever next year, “Kay”! O.VK Hu.vdrkd Tk.v Ruth Miller Right Fullback “Ruth” is another member of the freshman trio, which d'd so well on last year’s team. “Ruth” had her own peculiar way of taking the ball away from her opponents when they least expected it. Good work Ruth, make them step lively to keep up with you next year. Mary Ann Schilling Center Forward Yep! Mary Ann plays hockey too. Mary Ann started the season keeping in mind the three V s—vim, vigor, and vitality, and she carried that thought throughout the entire season. Mary Ann will be with us again next year and we expect to see her have a wonderful season. Edith Powell Left Halfback “Pudd” showed great form this year, and although she wasn’t destined to make the varsity team, she worked hard and played very well in the gruelling daily practices. “Pudd” is expected to do great things next year. Here’s to you, “Pudd ’! JE ----- [ffD On k IIuxuhkd Ei.kvkn Jemima Sutton Left Hal (buck “Jimmy” certainly did know how to fo'low up the forward line and keep the hall rolling toward our goal. The forwards didn’t worry when they lost the tall because they knew that “Jimmy” was in back cf them to cover up. “Jimmy will be lost through graduation, and her place on the hockey field will be hard to fill. Alice Kei.i.y Left Inside Could Kelly dribble? Well, no one could stop her when she started down the field with her one-handed dribble. Kelly has been an all around hockey player for three years, and the Kelly-Crawford combination has been the best Slippery Rock has ever seen. We bow to you Kelly may success be yours! Mary Jane Glenn Right If ring Miss Stern certainly made no mistake hen Mary Jane was picked for the right wing position. Mary Jane did her bit in every game, and we are sure she will do the same when she coaches a team of her own. m □ ON I: Hr.MiMKU TWBLVK Frances Craig Right Half “Fran' is a sturdy little half-back with a healthy wallop. She fitted in on every occasion, and was a first-class substitute; Although she did not participate in many of the games, she proved a worthy threat on the second team, and had much to do with the saying that “it takes a second team to make a first. The hockey squad are sorry to lose “Fran” for next season. Captain Kate Crawford Cora Jane Mumble Right Wing Cora is the girl who kept Mary Glenn in doubt. Although Cora played in but few of the games, but if a substitute was needed, Cora was right there to fill the gap. Play life’s game as fair and as faithfully as you did hockey, Cora, and we re sure we w 11 hear some more about you. IE OXK JIlVDRRD TlflRTKK.V Boys’ Basketball Season The 1926-27 basketball season has been one of the most successful in the history of the institution. Through the enthusiastic, tireless, and persistent efforts of coaches Cottrell and Thompson, a well balanced and co-ordinated team was organized. With Captain “Swede” Kruger directing the boys from the floor, and men like Barnett, Meglathery, Lutz, Ripper, and Bark to aid, Slippery Rock conquered the normal schools of Western Pennsylvania. The State championship game played against East Stroudsburg at the end of the season was lost by the score of 43-33. At the beginning of the season, about 45 men responded to the call for candidates. This large squad was later cut to 25 men, and finally down to 12 men. On December 22. Slippery Rock suffered her first defeat at the hands of the strong Mount Union College team, leaders in the Ohio conference. The next two games spelled victory for Slippery Rock. 'These games were won at West Liberty Normal and California Normal on the same week end. Kiski found Slippery Rock off form, and hung up a victory after a gruelling battle. On January 22, Slippers Rock won easily from the Geneva College Reserves. Immediately after this game, Slippery Rock went into a slump and lost to Kent State Teachers College, Edinboro Normal, and Pitt Frosh in succession. S’ippcry Rock then won the remaining games on the schedule, defeating Kent, Clarion twice, California, and Indiana twice. 'These victories gave Slippery Rock undisputed claim to the western championship of the State. 'The game in which the championship of the state was to be settled was played against East Stroudsburg at East Stroudsburg. Although they played valiantly against many odds, Slippery Rock finally bowed to the eastern team by the score of 43-33. The game was fast and furious throughout, and East Stroudsburg felt immensely relieved at leaving the game victoriously. The team for the 1927-28 season b ; still intact, with “Joe’ Barnett as captain. It i s prophesied that an even more successful season will be had next year. Here’s to your success, boys!

He developed a team that competed for the state championship. He had the boys working: their heads off for him. He brought a new system to the school and the-’ boys had a little difficulty getting acquainted with it. Next year “Doc ought to turn out a wonder team. Capt. Nels Kruger Forward Swede” The success of the boys basketball season was due in a large measure to the capable leadership of Swede. At crucial moments of the game “Swede” was always on hand to encourage his teammates and give them renewed determination to topple their opponents. He was a fast, clean player and will be an invaluable man on next year s team. He lead the attack being high scorer. Kerr Thompson “Coach” had the novel experience as acting as an assistant for the first time. His method of handling the men was a great assistance to Cottrell and he gave the boys all that he had. I Harold Lutz Forward Hal” Find a greater pair of forwards than “Hal” and “Swede” in Normal school circles and you will have to use a microscope. “Hal” did not arrive until the second semester, but he surely proved his worth from then on. He always managed to have check marks after his name in the score book. Good Luck, “Hal”. Tit KODOR E AIA RNEN Manager Ted” Ted knew his duties and did them well. The boys appreciated the way he handled the outfits when the team was on the road, and when a man was injured Ted” was always there to iron out the sore spots. A better man will be hard to find. Herbert Ripper Guard Rip” When S. R. was unable to penetrate a strong defense, the inevitable “Rip,' always happened along with one of his long shots. He proved to his Alma Mater his worth not only as a shot but as a good dependable, steady floor man. 1 Onk IIuxdhkd Skvkxjkhx Norman Meglathery Forward “Mac” Petite, fast and a fighter of the first degree was “Mac. In every play from the start to the finish. At Clarion he was unbeatable, penetrating their defense on most every play. “Mac's wonderful sportsmanship was in evidence at all times and in all places. We surely will miss him next season, but we predict that “Mac will make a great coach and leader. Paul Bark Guard “Barky” A freshman that did not know his real worth until after the season was half played, but when he found himself he was the real thing. A very good guard having everything that was expected of him. Here’s for a good season next year “Barky.” Arthur Mehrixger Guard “Merry” “Merry” acted as general utility man and was always ready to fill in when needed. He sometimes played center as well as guard and he was useful in both places. Much is expected of him in the coming years. Joseph Barnett Center “Joe” “As a center goes—so goes the team” and S. R. went good and “Joe was the center. Big and fast was “Joe” and he played a wonderful game. As a reward he was named captain for next year. Oni: IIuxuhki) Ekjutkkn Girls’ Basketball Season The best brand of basketball ever exhibited in Slippery Rock or this district was shown this past season by our own sextette. The season was perfect—no defeats—a never to be forgotten record, Slippery Rock! They took over such teams as the University of Pittsburgh, Thiel College and Geneva College without being taxed to their utmost. The girls fit in splendily with each other in every phase of the game and with them it is the spirit of the game and not the victory that lends itself in every case. It takes a second team to make a first and to our subs: Sal Louden, Mary Louden, Anne Cain, Burn .etta Newton, Eva Smith, Florence Winistone, Thelma Byron, Marie Koellman, and Mary Kunkle, a lot of credit is to be given for their willingness at practice. 1 OjfK HUSOTltD XlXKTKRN Oxr lll'SDitn Twmrn Marie Koellman— Kurlee” Manager and forward Little but efficient! “Kurlee” has been a faithful little follower of basketball and has had a good deal of “tough” luck. This season she was chosen manager and she certainly proved a great help. She managed very successfully, in her own little way, the best team Slippery Rock has ever boasted of. We see a great future for you, “Kurlee.” Go to it! Sarah Dardis—“Sal” Captain; Captain-Elect; Guard We can tell that “Sal” was very well liked by the fact that the squad reelected her to lead them again next year. “Sal” is a very consistent player and this is one reason why forwards leave the floor. This was “Sal’s” second year on the Varsity and she has had very few goals made against her, a record to be proud of “Sal.” Here’s hoping you Captain the team through another successful season. Elmira Comptox Coach Good goods often come in small packages. She’s not the average in quantity but she’s above the average in quality. The team this year had for their goal—a perfect season—and their incentive proved to be Miss Compton. Coach Compton worked hard at all times and finally moulded a team that couldn’t be beaten. We wish you loads of success next year and the years that follow, in your coaching career. Onk Ilr.viiuKu Twksty-Oxk Helen Upton—“Spuds” Forward Basketball combines joys and sorrows. This time we are sorry to see our faithful Helen go, due to graduation. We are however glad to know that she is contemplat.ng coming back to old S. R. The manner in which she kept her girl in check, and at the same time made many pointers herself, was a revelation to all S. R. rooters. 11 is a notable fact that she has almost always outscored her opponents. Helen has a style of playing, all her own. She easily slips through the opponents defense, and because she was always such a good shot, was a big factor in deciding close games. We will always feel proud to know that our Helen will keep up her good reputation of clean sportsmanship. Here’s to success, “Spuds”! Sarah Louden—“Sal” Forward The little Freshman, who, when called upon, could fill the place of either Mary Ann or Helen without any question of ability. “Sal” is a fast forward, hard to guard and has a good eye for the basket. She has three more years to add to her already fine reputation as a good steady basketball player. Good Luck, “Sal”! Mary Ann Schilling—“Mary Ann” Forward Need we tell again that Mary Ann, Sophomore, has all the fine qualities that one-half the forward combination of a winning team should have? Dead sure Mary’s constitution certainly called for better and more accurate guarding than she received. Mary Ann has another year—a better year than the splendid one just passed that she helped made successful. Keep up the good work, Schilling! Ox k IIovdrkd Twenty-Two Elva AI cCasla m —“El va” Center The girl that started the ball toward Slippery Rock’s section and victory! A tall, graceful girl who cannot be beaten when it comes to the tip-off. Elva started her basketball career early at Sl.ppery Rock and we feel sure she will finish the same way. Hurrah!! for Elva. Ardis Manning—“Kip” Side-Center A steady, ready, heady player. “Kip was always in every race for the ball and usually whizzed past her opponent so completely that she left her stunned, disappointed, and sadly in the background. Everyone knows “Kip’s” championship calibre and she deserves every bit of credit given her. Ella Louise Russel—“Sal” Guard The other half of tho best guard combinatfon in the state. “Sal came to us from Pitt and brought with her a fine record. With three more years to go “Sal ought to win for herself a place in the “Hall of Fame. Consistency is her middle name. m Oxr. Hcxdkkd Twkjcty.Tiihkk Baseball The great American game bids fair to have a successful season at S. R. this year. Nine men were lost by graduation last year and their places will be bard to fill. Coaches Thompson and Cottrell arc slowly whipping a team together, that will be beard from before the end of the season. With but two letter men back. Abraham and Baum, this feat will be a hard one. However there is % fine supply of good material which has the ability to play grade A baseball. Team work and co-operation are the main things to be developed. From last year’s squad Young, Martin. Glenn, Duff, Kasley, Rankin, Barnett and Palmer are available, while Gumbert, Monaco, McLaughlin, Lutz, Ovcrand, Hoover, Serinin, Kcrnan, Merhinger, Stoops, McCollough and Pcpe are the new boys trying out for jobs. A schedule of fourteen games has been arranged for the team this year and the boys expect to be on the winning side of the majority of them. □nt OXK IIUNDHKU TWKXTT-FOG Tennis S. R. had the most successful season in it’s history during the past year. The jgirls’ team entered the normal scool tournament at Indiana and returned the victors, taking four matches out of six. Katherine Crawford, Lucille Sproull, Marie Koellman, and Isabelle McDonald made up the team and it was coached by Miss Mathcny. The hoys opened their season at Kent College and won by a 5-1 score. Their second match, with Grove City, ended in a draw 3-3. Later Grove City defeated the boys by a 6-0 score. The big event of the year was the tournament for the Western Normal schools at Indiana. In the tournament S. R. swept the field with six victories and no defeats. These victories assured the return of the cup to S. R. for another year. Adams and McKinley, Roth and Smith made up the doubles combinations with each man playing singles. Roth and Smith are the veterans who will try to uphold S. R. standards on the courts this year. The team last year was coached by Mr. Cottrell. This year both girls and boys arc being coached by Miss Bruckheimer and they have a schedule of five games to play. r- Osr. HCXDRBO Twkxty-Six One ilc.vuKKU Twkxty Bioht Extra Curricular Activities The Slippery Rock State Normal School fosters many extra-curricular activities, which provide expression for a wide variety of interests and hobbies. These activities furnish splendid opportunities for individual expression and initiative, besides training in developing qualities of personality and leadership. Another object of these activities is to make worth-while use of leisure time and recreation. All students in the normal school departments are urged to present a minimum of tv.elvc points per semester with a maximum of twenty-four points in accordance with the requirement of the Hoard of Normal School Principals. A point is defined as the credit to be assigned for six hours work in a recognized activity. Expression is given in art, music, drama, literature, English, nature study, religion (Y.M. and Y.YV.C.A.), science, athletics, debating, history, social problems, and journalism. The school life of any student is incomplete if he fails to enter into some form of extra-curricular activity. Our advice to those still in school, and those entering next year, is to get into an extra-curricular activity immediately, if you will be recognized as a “somebody” at S. R. N. m Oxi: lli'XDKKU Tw� :nrv-N'ixk □ Science Club The Science Club, now in the third year of its existence, is an organization designed to foster greater interest in science and to give recognition to scholarship. Membership is open to all faculty members interested in keeping abreast of scientific achievements and to a limited number of upperclassmen. A student to be eligible to membership must rank in the upper one-fifth of his class scholastically, must show himself proficient and interested in the science subjects, and manifest a fine spirit of attitude towards all the best in school life.

Due to the recent development of this club much comment has been given on its success. Miss Gerberich succeeded in gathering together a variety of voices as well as musical numbers which appealed to and satisfied both young and old. Through Miss Geberich’s constant effort, and the ready response of the members of the organization it is easy to believe the statement of one of the state officials “They are hard to beat.” The club as a whole has exerted it’s every effort in broadcasting to the surrounding counties the type of musical training that we have at S. K. The graduating members extend a heart felt wish for the success of the club during the coming year. TO OSt: IIU.VDHKU TllIltXY-KoUR Dramatic Club This is another one of the clubs that came into being this year. At the beginning the roll took on huge proportions, numbering about 150. However, according to the constitution which was adopted, three consecutive absences automaticall} dropped a person from the roll so that at present there are only about forty active members. The purpose of the club is to discover and cultivate dramatic talent at S.R. This is done through programmes put on by the club members. These programmes were both entertaining and instructive. A spirit of co-operation has prevailed in the club and it has made pleasing progress.

Any student among the boys may become a member. 'The membership tee of one dollar entitles the member to many privileges in the national organization. Meetings are held every Wednesday evening, and many subjects concerning world problems, social conditions both local and abroad, religious activities, etc., are discussed. The meetings are held in the Y room at the Pines, and many lively discussions are made. Although the present membership in the organization i not very large, the group is an enthusiastic and progressive one. and all the activities sponsored by the club meet with great success. Joint meetings with the Y.W.C.A. are occasionally held, and a greater range of ideas and thoughts are garnered through discussion in this larger group. We hope that next year’s “Y” will Ik- greatly enlarged, and that a more representative body of students will become active members and help to carry on the splendid ideals of the organization.

Under the able leadership of the president, Margaret Cowmeadow, and the help of the wonderful spirit of the students, these meetings were very interesting and inspiring. A symbolic candle light service introduced the new girls into the organization, gave them an insight into it's real meaning, and created an interest in it’s activities. The annual bazaar, which was held in December, was successful from every point of view. Several delightful tea dances were much enjoyed by the students.

The aim of the club is to study directing of ensemble singing and playing, referring to any subject that may be. related to these. This club is under the leadership of Mrs. Arnold. Although the club was just organized last year, it has made great progress in directing music. When the auditorium activities’ class has charge of chapel on Tuesday mornings, the Baton Club furnishes a director for the occasion. There are also opportunities for directing the music at Parent-Teacher Association meetings, junior and senior high school chapel periods, and orchestra rehearsals of the high school. Last year the time was devoted entirely to the study of the mechanics and technique of directing music, while this year the stud of orchestration and orchestra directing has been added.

Membership is limited and obtained through the ability i applicants in the line of Music. The choir is duly responsible for all the music for the Vesper Services which are held each Sunday evening at 6:15. It also arranges to have a number of special song Vesper services during the year. l. The activities of the choir this year have been very much to its credit. It has, under the able direction of Miss Marion Gerberich, made a number of appearances in special services. The November program, which was of Thanksgiving and Armistice Day music, was rendered with much success and appreciation. Following it, the choir did a good piece of work in its Christmas music. This was so much to its credit that it was repeated for the benefit of those who were far away, by the radio service of the WCAE station in Pittsburgh. The Christmas program was soon followed by another in February, which was rendered as a patriotic event. March came next, lending itself to Easter and bringing forth the beautiful rendition of Olivet to Calvary.” This cantata was worthy of great praise. Its final program of the year, at commencement time, added to the zest of the year's work and closed with a sincere hope that the Vesper Choir will keep up its good work.

The new Art Club was organized in 1926 with Miss Inis F. Me-Clymonds as faculty adviser. The chief aim of the club is to study various pictures in order to obtain a wider knowledge of art, and an appreciation for beauty. At the weekly meetings the histories and paintings of Whistler, Inness, Homer, Rembrandt, and many others were studied. Special attention was given to pictures in the Carnegie Museum. Several contests were held at which the members had to name the picture shown, the painter, and the painter’s nationality. One of the important features of the year’s work was the illustrated lecture on Home Decoration. Early in the fall forty members of the club went to Carnegie Museum to enjoy the International Art Exhibit there.

In order that the entire student body should see something of what wias being done by the club, several delightful and worth-while plays have been given.

Miss MacNeil spoke twice to the club on some literary observations made during her travels in Europe. It shall always be the aim of this Club to endeavor to create a spirit of appreciation for the best in classical and modern literature in its various phases, because such an attitude is a great benefit to right enjoyment of life.

The work of editing the Slippery Rocket, the school paper, is no means a light one. Every member has something to cover and write up for each week’s issue, and so there are no weeks in which nothing is to be done. This club meets every Monday evening, at which time a review is made of the material already secured for the next issue, and assignments are made to reporters for covering coining school events. Suggestions and criticisms are made with the view of improving the Rocket with each ensuing issue. Methods of presenting the news for greater effect and accuracy are discussed. For the members of the staff this work in the Press Club is greatl) beneficial. All who have joined did so because of their interest in some phase of journalism. The training which it affords, and the satisfaction of having had an opportunity of satisfying a desire to write are worth the amount of work done.

It has a membership of 310, making it necessary to divide the club into six groups with a chairman and secretary for each group. Each group meets separately and once every month there is a meeting of the entire club. The aim of the club is to teach the proper thing to do on certain occasions and to provide entertainment and amusement. They succeeded very well in the carrying out of this aim during the past year and it is hoped that the civil) will become a standard one and be continued from year to year.

When can better fun be had than when “jolly good fellows get together ? The 1926-27 season of the club was perhaps the most successful in the history of the club. This year there were 24 of the peppiest boys in school taking part. Professor Frank F. Hardman, popular director of the organization, gave forth biff greatest efforts this year with the result that the school is very proud of the glee club as of the athletic teams. The club presented their first concert on February 15. The entertainment was crowned with success and many were the requests for another performance. Their songs, chosen with great care by Prof. , provided a wide variety of numbers to suit everybody’s tastes. The quartet, composed of “King” Billingsley. “Cal Godwin, Chuck 1mm, and “Vin Thompson, was unquestionably the best in the history of the club. Their numbers were accorded thunderous applause wherever they sang. After the concert in February, the club journeyed far from school and gave sample” concerts in most of the leading high schools of this part of the state. The object of these concerts was to advertise the school and get high school students interested in Slippery Rock as their choice of institution for furthering their education. A few complete concerts were also given in outside towns and cities. Membership is gained by a vote of the older members on those recommended by “Prof.” Hardman, who previously tests the voices. Graduating members are given some insignia or gift as a token of appreciation for their interest and cooperation in making the season a success.
