WILMA CLYDE Treasurer Port unate indeed was the senior class in choosing as treasurer Wilma Clyde, who has handled the finances of the senior class in an admirable fashion Although she has been with the class only two years, she is as well-known as any four vear student. MILTON MORRIS Vice President Milton Morris is a Health P.d senior, who during his four years' stay at Slippery Rock has won for himself the reputation of always being read) and willing to do his part on all occasions. As vice-president the senior class could have found no one more sincere and more competent. FERN THOMAS Secretary Pern Thomas, as secretary needs no introduction. Largely through her efforts as editor it has been possible for the “Stare-Col to continue. As secretary of the class she has faithfully done a fine piece of work. 19 51 Thirty-four Class History I he present senior class has the distinction of being the first class to enter Slippery Rock State Teachers College. Previous to this time the institution was known as Slippery Rock State Normal School. It is rumored that the legislature, being fully aware of the talented group of students planning to enter Slippery Rock in the lall of 1027. hastened to change the Normal School to a Teachers College, in order to be able to offer greater opportunities, which indeed this entering class so justly deserved. The present seniors, then freshmen, learned to take the bitter with the sweet, because as the first college freshmen, they passed through real freshmen rules. The upperclassmen showed little mercy in relentlessly harrassing the poor freshmen. As sophomores much the same procedure took place. However, the members of the entering class of 1028. this time were the sufferers. As juniors the class of ’31 has left a record of which it may well be proud. During this year the entering freshman class brought to the college many of those who are graduating with the ’'never-to-be-forgotten” class of ’31. By this addition of nearly 200 excellent students the present senior class was able to make a (lying finish. Numerically, it is the smallest graduating class in several years, but judging from the laurels won in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, debating, dramatics, music and scholarship, one might easily believe it to be the largest class of all time. Based on the theory that “All’s well that ends well the class of '31 may justly be proud of its past record. Thiriy-fivc t ANN M. ANDERSON Oakmont. Pa.

Scholastically, athletically and socially they have distinguished themselves to no small degree. W ith the coming school year the standards of the present senior class will be theirs to hold high. If it is possible to judge from the past record of the junior class, what the future holds in store, one thing is certain; next year's graduating class will finish second to none. As a whole, few classe; have contributed more glory to the Alma Mater than has the junior class. Jl NIOK OFFICERS President I ice President Secretary Treasurer Don a i � 11 ai. t.

The upperclassmen seem to take revenge upon the innocents, not because they have done anything, but because the acts of last year s sophomore class still rankle in their minds, and they must lx- avenged by indicting these same acts upon the freshmen. But then ii seems necessary that all students pass through this pupa stage of being Freshmen before it is possible to become sophomores or juniors—much less seniors. Somehow the upperclassmen form their opinion of the freshmen as a result of their response to this hazing. This year’s freshman class has in all respects responded in such a manner that the upper classmen have nothing but good to report of them.

This was the sixth consecutive season that the honor has fallen to a Slippery Rock team. 'The Green and W hite aggregation got off to a good start by taking over W'aynesburg in the opener. This was followed by a rather disastrous trip to Duquesnc in which we lost, not so much to a superior team, but to at least five teams who alternated at trying to tire our boys out. In the next game California pulled a surprise and came through with a 6-6 tie. However, the Thompson men got together again and gave the parents a treat by walloping Clarion 50-0. St. Francis came next, and taking advantage of the breaks, they came out on the long end of the score. This was duplicated the following Saturday at Westminster and things began to look bad for the home team, but the boys again pulled together and clinched the aforementioned title bv beating Indiana.

[4 CAPTAIN OTT—littd A capable leader and a brainy player, popular with coaches as well as with the players, is the tribute paid to Captain Oil I he success of the team which Ott piloted through the l‘ JO season is ample proof that this tribute is not merely a compliment given to a graduating captain. I I-SSI IA WILSON—Tackle The team of M will sadly miss this dependable player from Illinois. The left side of the Green and White line was a veritable stone wall with l.es as the main pillar Proof of Wilsons worth is shown by the fact that he was conceded the position of left tackle on the All-District team in Western Pennsylvania for Class If colleges STANLLY RALSTON —Right Guard I his small, mcck-looking lad is a local contribution to S R s athletic hall of fame Picture the embarrassment of a Ilea as he finds himself in the path of a deseeding watermelon and you have the mental state of many of the gridders who played opposite Stanley Coach Thompson will have to look for Siamese twins to till the hole left by this human locomotive. PAUL MORGAN—Left Hud Another mainstay in the powerful Slippery Rock line was this fair-haired lad from Kensington. Paul again and again brought himself into the lime-light with diving shoe-string tackles and with brilliant end play. THE SAXIGENAffe I.LOYD WOLFE—Center This is the young man who passes the pigskin from front to rear via his hind legs Lars” has one consolation—he will never grow gray-headed worrying about anything. Laying all jokes aside. Wolfe is one of the best centers Slippers Rock has seen in many seasons. PAUL MILLS—Tackle Paul is next year s captain-elect. Ilis si c and fighting ability made him one of Coach's most valuable players It in expected that Miles will come through in a big way next season An Henry Oil's successor the senior class wishes him all possible success IiI. K ) McI ADI)LN—Tackle The quiet, easy-going Mac is a model to delight the heart of any football coach, lways out for practice, never complaining in rain or snow. Mac took the breaks as they came Though not the hero type of player, he gained his letter two years in succession through steady, hard plugging Cl ARENCL M A RTIN—Halfback Martin began the season as an end. Ilis exceptional speed and adeptness at carrying the oval soon landed him in the position of half-back in which capacity he finished the season Ilis sweeping end runs against Clarion were wonderful to behold. Martin doubtless will be a valuable football player next year SAXIOBNAjfas? CARL CATAIO—l-ullback Carl, despite innumerable injuries, played a ver creditable name at fullback, lie is a fast man. a fine open field runner, and can usually be depended upon behind the line. His best game of the season was against Wavnesburg HERMAN MEI I MAN—Quarterback At the beginning of the 1930 season the general opinion was that Coach I hompson would have a hard time filling (iumbcrl's shoes at the quarterback's position, l ittle Herman came through splendidly, however, and turned out to be quite a field general. Ilis play in the Wavnesburg game was especially brilliant MILLER KERR—Halfback Who would suspect that this speed-merchant had never played football until he arrived at Slippery Rock? Mid turned out to be one of the most consistent ground gainers of the year He is a fast runner, anil shows an uncanny ability to pick out the holes ojHrned bv the fine. The team is glad he will be back next year. HARRY ELIS TER—Guard Red- always played two games when he was in the lineup. One was against the opposing m. and this was usually a mighty good one. The other was the game he played with him-!' trying to keep his knee from jumping out of place and slapping him in the chin. Despite s handicap or kneecap. Red came through with a varsity S .

He was on the bench a good part of the season because of injuries, but despite these handicaps he came through sufficiently to gain his letter I lis 72 yard kick at Duquesnc was really beautiful t« behold. JOI IN |il:N .—Quarterback Jack substituted at quarterback However, he did this often and well enough to earn his letter. His «0 vard run for a touchdown in the California game kept Slippery Rock from suffering defeat at the hands of their old rivals I bis boy has two years remaining to make good up on the knob. I lll-ODOKI: GKI• INI;R—hnllback Ted’’ was the lightest man on the team, but dynamite comes in small packages lie literally exploded himself in the l-dinboro game and smashed everything on the opposing team, including the grandstands and the right side of the field, and a couple of his own ribs. Nell ! e valuable to the team in coming seasons. 3 MII.TON MORRIS—Student M a tinner Morris served in the capacity of senior student manager of football. Quite a lengthy tifie. but then he is rather a lengthy lad Pete . as he is better known among his friends, showed real leadership and executive ability in carrying out the duties of manager. I his statement will be fully endorsed by certain members of the freshman class, who. time after time, carried headgears and other supplies up to the knob. Besides possessing all these qualities. Pete” was really a good manager. PAUL RIPPI-R—End Rip' playing substitute end. broke in when Captain Oil was injured lie soon became conspicuous because of his clean, hard tackles and elusive running ability, lie is sure to be seen in action in Green and V lute uniform next year ANTHONY CAPPFZLTTI—Guard I lie Indiana game marked the real beginning of Tony's football career with the Slippery Rock gridders. He started practically every game from that time on. We 3re sorry we have no picture but if you wish, you may see this lad in the chemistry lab an day between 7 M and i P. M Ninety-four N. K. THOMPSON !•' otball-UasAvt ball CitacI? The progress in athletics at Slipi ery Rock in the past decade may be attributed largely to the work of Coach Thompson. Ilis ability to instill the lighting spirit into a team has often brought a rather inexperienced aggregation through a successful season, l et the success of his teams, then, be the yardstick by which his coaching ability is measured. We are certain that he will not suffer by the use of this criterion It is the sincere hope of every senior that the friendship of Coach will not be lost after graduation. and that the years to come will hold nothing but continued success and happiness tor him at Slippery Rock. IT II COTTRI-LL A nut ant Coach and I-acuity Manager of Athletics Because of his splendid management and business ability Mr. Cottrell has been of inestimable worth to Slippery Rock athletics, lie has secured games with such schools as Duquesne. Westminster. Grove City, W aynesburg. and others of equal rank. Since it is an established fact that the athletic standing of am college is determined largely by the calibre and rating of its opponents, it can be easily seen that Slippery Rock, through the influence of Mr Cottrell, may well be considered a dangerous contender in Class B circles The graduating seniors who have participated in any athletic sports, take this opportunity to thank him for the splendid consideration shown to them as members of varsity squads Ninety-five 19 5) THE SAXIOENA Football Games WAYNIHSBl'RG On ihe Saturday of September 20. the Green and White warricrs journeyed down to Waynesburg for the owning tussle. This game was supposed to lx' just a warm-up for the Yellow Jackets, hut turned out to be their W aterloo instead. Cataio scored the only touchdown of the game after Morgan broke through the W'aynes-burg line to block a punt and recover it on the three yard line. This was accomplished with but three minutes remaining to play. Cataio. Morgan, and Westlake shared the honors for brilliant play. INDIANA NOVEMBER 1 The Thompson crew again took to the road. This time Indiana was the host. Capezutti made his initial appearance in this game and covered himself with glory. Slippery Rock scored three touchdowns, two points after touchdown, and one safety for a total of 22 points. Indiana did not choose to score in this meeting, but seemed content in holding the vicious Rockets to three markers. c y EDI N BORO -NOVEMBER 8 Kerr. Mellman. Ralston ami Wilson played stellar roles in helping to down the boys from up north. With but ten minutes to play and the score standing at 0-0, Kerr and Martin alternated in bringing the pigskin up to the four-yard stripe, when Kerr, on a slick double pass galloped over for the only score of the game. Mellman converted the extra point with his educated toe. The Slippery Rock line was stronger in this game than in at no time did Edinboro even threaten to score. WmwgE% any previous contest and WEST CHESTER—NO I:MBER I5 West Chester teachers, unbeaten in the east, came to Slippery Rock for the final tilt of the season. The first score of the game came early when, on a bad pass from center. Martin was downed behind his own goal line. Later in the second quarter the tide turned, and Kerr, receiving a Hat pass from Mcllman. made a beautiful broken field run of 45 yards to score the first touchdown. Captain Ott duplicated this feat in the third quarter when he received a pass from Mellman on the fourth down, and aided by the timely clipping of Martin, ran 25 yards for the last score. Mellman kicked both points after touchdown and the game ended 14-2 ✓ BASKETBALL Nfnciy-niuc Basketball Mere we have another championship team. Perhaps you didn't know it. hut the Green and White cagers are the champs of the Western Pennsylvania Teachers Colleges. This was accomplished by defeating every teachers college in the western part of the state in both of the scheduled games, excepting, however, Fulinboro, with whom the boys drew even, losing at Tdinboro and winning at home. The season taken as a whole was quite a successful one. notwithstanding the fact that Slippery Rock came out on the short end of the score in four out of live of the games during the eastern trip. The fact that two of these games went into extra periods anil were lost by only a single point gives ample proof that the team was playing good basketeball. The end of the season found Slippery Rock with ten wins and seven defeats in a total of seventeen games. 19 5H Slippery Slippery Slip|x;ry Slippery Slippery Slippery Slippery Slippery Slippery Slippery Slippery Slippery Slippery Slip| ery Slippery Slippery Slippery Basketball Scores ....23—Westminster......................49 ....28—St. Francis 15 ....3()—California..................... 23 28—St. Vincents .................. 31 Rock........... 50—Indiana 15 Rock............... .. .31—St. Francis................... 22 Rock............... 22—MiUersyille............... .............2 3 Rock........

I US C A M PB1 • I I A wiser choice for the captaincy could hardly have been made Neen’s experience as a coach and a player gave him that unknown quality which goes to make a good captain. Campbell was chosen by popular vote of the players as the season's most valuable player, and we know he deserved the honor. 1§5 THE SAXIGBKA CORN 1:1 II S CAMPBLI I Guard At the beginning of the basketball season the general opinion was that 'Ween” hail seen his host basketball days. But he proved to be the proverbial mao who came back”. Campbell played a sparkling game at guard besides being second highest scorer on the team. Who will ever forget those three thrilling two pointers he made to virtually beat Ld inboro himself? WILLIAM NASH Forward Nash was Slippery Rock's own Charlev Hyatt He is probably the most spectacular player Slippery Rock has seen in many seasons. String is a dead shot under the hoop and is equally ;� s accurate from any spot in the twenty foot one He was the season’s highest scorer and will be missed by the team and fans alike next season. MILTON MORRIS ('enter Pete came to us from Lniontown aid secured his varsity letter each year that he played His jumping ability and floor generalship made him one of the team's most dependable players. His place will be hard to till in future seasons. CARL CATAIO Forward Carl is next year's captain-elect. He plays a hard, clean game and is a good shot Cataio is especially noted lor his trick shots, and there was seldom ;� game in which he failed to toss one in while standing on his head. One hundred two One hundred three CLARK McCUil.l AND Center Mac started the season as a rider of the well known oak , but soon came through to prove the old adage that it is impossible to keep a g x d man down, especially a good big man. Clark is but a sophomore and has two more seasons to battle for his Alma Mater CARL I I HUI-NBACII Guard Carl played the most consistent game of any player on the club. An accurate passer, a good shot, powerful on the offense as well as on the defense. Lagan proved to be worth his weight in gold in every game he played We can ask nothing more than that this lad continue in the future as he has done in the past. ROBERT SMII.LN Forward Bob received his original basketball training at l;ranklin where lie starred for four years on Coach Treadwell s teams Although he did not start regularly this year, his injection into the lineup at crucial moments more than once proved to be the turning point of the game Beware of this lad next year, you tri-state passers! HENRY Oil Student Manager A versatile lad is this man Ott. Mere he is again, this time in the capacity of student manager of basketball. This task Henry performed with his usual faithfulness. The gratitude of the coaches, as well as the players, is his for the service rendered to the team. THE SAXIQENAflhs? SAXIOENAjfe Basketball Summary ST. FRANCIS—JANUARY 8 The Slippery Rock quintet, in the second contest of the season, overcame the Loretta live to the tune of 28-15. Nash scored seven field goals alone in this contest and the Saints hardly had hold of the ball long enough to know whether it was round or square. Morris played a good game under the hoop aided by the passing of Cataio anil Campbell. INDIANA- JAN I ARY 24 The team went to Indiana this week-end with the sole purpose of avenging the defeat of the preceding year, and avenge it they did. When the smoke of battle had cleared away. Slippery Rock had annexed 50 odd points to a mere 15 for the Indiana lads. This score was due largely to the great offensive work of the Green and White team and the extremely poor defense of Indiana. Campbell was individual high scorer with 13 points and Morris a close second with 12. ST. VINCENTS—FEBRUARY 9 Again Slippery Rock played host to a class B college team. And again the slow passing game broke up a good zone defense with the result that Campbell and his crew emerged with another scalp dangling from their belts. St. Vincents led by Crean and Gcnovise tried valiantly to tie the game up in the second period, but the rally was short with the final score 4Ml in favor of the home team. I his victor made up in part for the questionable affair played at St. Vincents the previous week. EDINBORO FEBRUARY 20 Neen Campbell played the best game in his 24 Irish years to defeat the Fdinboro crew 29-28. It took an extra period to accomplish this trick, but it was accomplished much to the chagrin of the up-state lads who were expecting victory. This win practically insured Slippery Rock the Western Pennsylvania championship. One hundred four S AXlOENAgggg: CHAMPS FRESHMAN INTRAMURAL Intra-Mural Basketball l nder the capable supervision of Mr. Dodds, intramural basketball had it real beginning in the college this year. There were two divisions: the class teams, composed of non-varsity men. and the league teams, made up of men participating in neither varsity nor class competition. The freshmen, represented by Johns. Kankin. Lewis. M argo. Murdock. Harris Kimberland and l iosack. won the championship, but were forced to a final pla off by the senior team before they could clinch the honors. The freshmen were coached by William Nash.

Anyone who has seen Ciolden do the Charleston. Black Bottom, or what have you. while leading cheers is sure to conclude that if physical gymnastics has anything to do with leading cheers. .Mike” easily qualified for grand champion. Putting jokes aside, though, this i the group that kept the pep in the student body to cheer our teams on to victory. Much glory was obtained in the field of athletics, and only by the support of the student body were our teams able to reach such goals. GIRL’S ATHLETICS One liumlml seven Women’s Athletic Association I he Women's Athletic Association has just completed one successful year of its career at State Teachers College. Slippery Rock. The W. A. V was introduced to the college in the I all of 1930. the members of the girl s varsit club anil Miss Compton assuming the leadership. Two hundred girls answered the call, and W . A. A. started off with a bang. The executive offices were filled by members of the former girl ‘ varsity club, and the following persons were elected as heads of sports. Therhse Pletz Lois Ebert Anna M. Andf.rson Mildred Snodgrass Ruth Elliott Ann I I. Anderson L.ois Reimer Jean Eagye Elizabeth Sneboi.d Elizabeth McCoy Hockey Soccer Basketball Volleyball Civ nnia sties Tenuis Track A rcberv Baseball 11 iking Janet I lirtzel. a junior in the health education department, was elected president, with Helen DeWeese. a senior, as vice president. Eleanor Johnson and Dorothy I luggans acted as treasurer ami secretary. A remarkable spirit has been shown throughout the year. Such success will surely continue with honor to our Alma Mater. THE S AXIOBNA Hockey I-arlv in September more than a hundred girls responded to the first . . A. call for hockey. They were immediately put to work and under the head of hockey and the guidance of the senior coaches, worked up to a big season with a tournament of color teams. Gay were the colors that flashed on the lield. but the regal white was the favored color. Then followed the Invitation tournament in which invitations were issued far and wide and competition was keen to secure the best players. Will you pla goal on my team? Have you been taken?” were the cries of captains in endeavoring to organize a team. The G. O. P.. literal!) translated get out and push”. Compton's Collegiates, Sticks, etc., were some of the teams which went forth to do battle. The Sticks, after many a hard fought scrimmage, emerged triumphant. As the weather grew more brisk and ideal for the game, class teams with friendly rivalry were organized. The chilly, ball days brought hot soup as a bracer between halves. Worth) seniors in golden pinnies led the other classes a merr chase, and in the end proved superior by carrying off the spoils. Two W. A. A. teams were chosen, composed of twenty-two of Slipper) Rock’s hockey stars. Known as the Green and White teams the) played three games with the Greens ending as champions. I'he W . V deserves much credit for affording an opportunity for so great a number of girls to play and enjoy this wholesome sport. o ; One huntlml nine 19 5 ra. ( riliTHE SAXIOENAjfa Basketball Shortly after I hanksgiving recess Ann Anderson issued the call for basket-ball recruits. Again it was found that the same enthusiastic characteristics of the Slippery Rock women came to the front. It wasn't long until a squad tournamnet started. Then as in hockey, the invitation tournament idea was carried on. This terminated with a remarkably close and exciting game between Lois Ebert's and Ruth Elliott’s lighting teams. Ruth's team showing their superiority by coming out on the long end. As for the interclass tournament, the junior's smooth-working machine took the lead and maintained it by never losing a game, and to them went the laurels. Soccer Soccer season, though brief, was very enthusiastic. Soccer is a comparative!) new game on the campus but it was well received. Practices were held and a few games were played. The older sports with their demands crowded this youngster out. However the game gained enough loyal support to secure a foothold tor the next season. Volley Ball What are those shouts issuing from the little gvm’r “Why, W. A. A. volley ball is under way. A squad tournament and class tournaments were held with keen rivalry and an abundance of pep. This is the first year that volley ball for girls has been brought to the fore ground in Slipper) Rock's athletics. Its success has been outstanding. 1 0) 5 1 One hundred ten sefilTHE SAXIOENAfeao; Ping Pong, Shuffle-board, and Quoits Ping pong, shuffle board and quoits added many pleasant hours during the winter season. Mere the tennis star kept his form, the marksman steadied his aim. and the “barn-yard golfer came into his own. These games have provided recreation for those people who ire restricted in the activity of regular gym classes and strenuous athletic activities. Track W. A. A. track season opened with the beginning of the last quarter. The entrants were divided into color teams. These teams competed in track and field events. The individual high scorers in the color meet represented the class teams for their meet. The freshmen team as usual made a gtxxl showing with juniors, seniors and sophomores bearing their colors high. Much of the track success is due to Lois Keimer. who proved herself a capable leader. Archery 7 shot an arrow into the air. It fell to earth I know not where. This has been proved conclusively by many of the local Robin Hoods, although it may be said that a few of them did find their arrows in the target In the York and Columbia rounds which were conducted, Jean Tagye proved her ability in her organization of the sport. W. A. A. Exhibition Just one year old. but the Y A. A. has progressed sufficient!} to culminate it' efforts in one grand exhibition which was presented April 21. Before a vast audience clever W. A. A. members tumbled, marched, twirled Indian clubs, performed on apparatus and danced. These activities were done in mass drill and in small groups. The numbers were compiled by those who qualified in requirements set down in earlier practices. The whole program was composed anti directed by the senior health education students who selected the numbers anil trained the participants. Tor those who enjoy highly organized gymnastics, the exhibition presented many varieties and means of exhibiting the form and skill of individuals. The proceeds of the evening went to the Activities fund which will lx: used next year by both the W. A. A. and the Boys' arsity in maintaining their organizations. 103 gg lTHE SAXIOENAjfa Health Education Women’s Club President Secretary Treasurer ■acuity Adviser Lois W. Reimer Ann M ANDhKSON Helen M.

It is hoped that some of the ideals and standards of the Sta-Te-Col will be carried over to the newspaper. This enterprise is being sponsored by Dr. Mellicent McNeil, whose honest efforts have done much toward attaining its success.

To qualify for membership in this club one must have successfully passed the journalism course offered by the college, and must submit one article at each meeting. The club discusses different phases of journalism, and strives to carry out these suggestions in its work.

Seiler. Early in the ball we find these students training for their concert, which is presented in the Spring. I his sear their appearance was in the form of a minstrel. Quartet numbers and vocal and piano solos lent variety to this year’s program. The club is indebted to the Misses Gretchen Smith and Margaret Eischer for their efficient piano accompaniment. i © d One hundred twenty T President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Edna May Konold Louise Boyd Mar'gaket Mackey An interesting musical organization on the campus presents itself in the form of the Women's Glee Club.

Some members of this club have the opportunity of directing music in the training school, the high school, or even in our own chapel services. This organization is aided materially by the untiring elTorts of Mrs. Gladys Arnold in its behalf. i 9 d 11 -C Ve sper Ch oir The Vesper Choir, under the capable management of Miss Marion Gerberich, furnishes the music at vesj)crs every Sunda evening, besides special music services at Christmas and l-aster. We also find this choir called upon to provide music for the Baccalaureate service and the Commencement exercises. This mixed chorus draws upon the musical talent of the college for its membership. 19 5 1 Madrigal Club Prcsidt nt Secretary Pianist Helen DeWeese F.dna McIntyre Mary Ruzabeth Brown The Madrigal Club, another of the girls' musical activities, has advanced considerably the past few years. I his club gives a Spring entertainment, and therefore, spends much of its time preparing songs and often a cantata for the student's approval. The club owes much to Mrs. Gladys Arnold who ably su| ervises their work. J ytf v ! m Orchestra When ii comes to adding a decidedly lively note to the student life at Slippery Rock, probably no other activity can so justly apply as does the school orchestra. On various occasions during the year the orchestra has entertained during the chapel period in a most satisfactory manner.

Debating at Slippery Rock has always enjoyed a prominent place on the college schedule and this year’s program was no exception. Due to the nature of the question the affirmative team seemed to light a losing battle. The results of the season show the negative team to have won all debates in which they took part and the affirmative team to have lost all debates in which they participated. The schedule was as follows: March $—Slippery March 0 -Slippery March 0 -Slipper) March 27 -Slippery March Q—Slippery March 10—Slippery March II -Slippery March 26—Slippery March 27 -Slippery DEBATE SCI I EDI LE At Home Rock Negative vs. Eairmont Affirmative.

Hid by being trained in the ethics of good debating. Affirmative Trip . o Murry! Murry! Murry! Bags all packed! Mavc everything? Where are the hooks and the rebuttal notes? These were the cries echoing across the campus as the affirmative team which included Iilizabeth l-'rye. Mary Stewart Rebecca Cunningham and Helen DeWeese under the chaperonage of Dr. McNeil assembled at the drive awaiting the arrival of the car in which they were to journey forth on the much dreamed of and talked about debating trip. The snow was falling thick and fast and piling high upon the ground. This seemed neither to dampen nor submerge the spirits of the debaters. Thev went to California State Teachers College and debated their team the evening of March ( . then over the mountain into West V irginia, where on I uesday evening. March 10. they clashed with Fairmont State Teachers College. After this a bit of rest ami onward to Davis and Hlkins College where at II A. M.. on March II they met their college debaters. The debate with Salem had been cancelled so they retraced their steps back to Pennsylvania and spent the night in I niontown. At o'clock March 12. they returned to Slippery Rock. liven though the debates were won by the opposition, this team put forth its utmost and did its best to uphold the honor and to bring laurels back to Slippery Rock. One hundred thirty.}! 19 5 SAXXOBNAjjjfe Negative Trip Oh Mum! Seven-thirty is quite an early hour to start touring. The negative team composed of Jane l.outzenhiser. Margaret Beech. Josephine Roos and Paul llotTman under the chapcronagc of Mr. Lady did not object to the above named time. With bag and baggage and everything in readiness they started to Shippens-burg State Teachers College, where they debated the evening of March 26. and from whom they won. Having traveled eastward for a day. the next morning they started to Clarion State Teachers 0)1 lege. After an uneventful but pleasing and enjo able drive they arrived in due time to meet and defeat the Clarion team. This concluded the negative debating season which was very commendable since they defeated the opposition in every debate. MR IIHIM I tulcr the excellent leadership of Mr I'homas I llcim. who was formerly the faculty coach, hut who served in the capacity of faculty manager for the season of 1931, the organization of intercollegiate debates was introduced and has been promoted during the oast four years He encourages and Incites interest in debating, ar.tl it has become one of the most outstanding and educational college activities bv the interest, zeal and enthusiasm with which he enters into sponsoring debates.

The first semester of I H1 was spent in presenting one-act plays, while the second semester was devoted to the technique o! dramatics. Miss Mabel 1 . bichler and Miss Edith Ann Simpson, who are sponsors have presented most interesting and enthusiastic suggestions for the improvement of the club. 19 51 Dramatic activities of the senior class were admirably brought to a close on the evening of February 2J. with the presentation of ' The Bride.” a three-act mystery play, which kept everyone on the edge of his seat in order to find out who stole the rubies. In addition to this interest in the rubies there was a gripping romance which stirred the emotions keenly. During the entire play the attention of the audience was shifted lirst. from the rubies to the developing romance between Morty and Marie, and then, back again to the missing rubies. In the end. as might be expected, the romance matures and the crook is captured who proves to be none other than James, the butler. The cast was as follows: Morty Travers Aunt I lenrielta Wilson Travers James, the butler Marie, the bride Officer O’Brien Dr. Sandros Gil Ison, the inspector Pelham Henry Ott Bi ss Witherspoon Harry Diffendafer Donald Hoi i master S r Davis Roy Me I; addi n Charles Spohn I .essley W ilson 1 ED W I K I M AN .

In the fall of 1027 the Biology club was organized for those who wished to continue their interest in Biolog) and related fields. I he fall of ll 28 marked the beginning of the Nature Club which at first consisted of upper-class members of the Open Road Club. Since 1028 the Nature Club has been a separate and distinct group sponsoring many out-door hikes and activities. During the summer of 1020, by the joint activities of the Nature Club and the Open Road Club, a representative was sent to a Nature Training School in Connecticut for a two week's course. As a result many new ideas were brought back, and in the fall of 1029 the idea of a nature trail was created. Due to much effort on the part of Dwight Sollberger and others, the nature trail slowly began to take form. Much interest was aroused among the group in charge of the trail and as a result in the Spring of 1930 the Nature Guides were organized. During the summer of 19 0 nine students from Slippery Rock attended the Nature Training School held at Wheeling. West irginia. Last fall, with the return of seven of these persons, naturally a new interest was created which has carried throughout the year. Much credit is due to Dr. R. A. Waldron who has faithfully inspired the work. Nature Guides The Nature Guides who have recently made themselves known as a part of the growing interest in nature study at Slippery Rock are composed of a group of enthusiastic nature students. Only those persons who have shown a genuine interest in some phase of nature work are allowed to enter this select group. Before coming into the group a person must he approved bv the adviser. I)r. R. A Waldron, and by the members of the Nature Guides. I.ast Ma members of the group journeyed to Medix Run in 1:1k county for a three day camping trip. On this excursion the group had the good fortune to catch a live rattlesnake which may be seen preserved in the science departmnt. Last October the group made a trip to Heart's Content l-'orest and Cook’s I orest for a three days’ stay. During this trip many were able to see a live beaver for the first time. At the present other trips are being planned. Phe success of these trips is easily seen by the large number of students wishing to become members of the Nature Guides. This spring the following students will receive Nature Guiding certificate.-: GRADI: A L:nw ki Raney Don i.i I Ioffmaster Horace Renick GRADI: B Dorothy Hartung Betty McCoy Levikaii Stewart I.ois Riimf.r Lenora Xissi.ek Sarxii Iriidman i rancis .McGinnis One huntlrrd ftutv-five Biology Club President Secretary- reasurei Program Chairman Clyde Dot bi.k Lois Reimer Mary Morgester I bis club was originated to interest students along biological lines and other scientific research work.

I he purpose of this club is to interest students in the out-of-door nature work, and under the wise guidance of l)r. Ralph A. W aldron, many students are showing interest in this phase of school activity. Hiking constitutes the majority of the programs with the aim of studying flowers, trees and birds. It has been the policy of the club to offer a camp scholarship to several deserving members each Summer. During the past Summer four members of the club were awarded scholarships to attend the two week's course at the Nature Training School held at Wheeling. West Virginia, during June. It is hoped that as a result of this experience these students will be able to act as leaders in earning on the nature activities at Slippery Rock. 19 31! Canawasco Camp Club I his club originated at Camp Canawasco and i continuing to aid in bringing up material which will he of benefit to the members when the leave college and go out to teach.

Four of these students had their way paid by the joint activities of the Open Road Club and Nature Study (dub; the others, because of a keen interest in nature, were glad to pay their own expenses. During the brief period of two weeks much of value and interest in the realm of nature was brought out by the expert camp leaders. Hack r n. left � o riKht Mikl.nivic.

The Ireshmen are becoming acquainted with dear old Slippery Rock What a funny sight it is to see the freaks carrying umbrellas and wastebaskets around the campus. At least one g x d thing came from these so-called still regulations. Our campus was cleared of the leaves and papers that covered it. Some oung men had the wish granted to them that they have been so long desiring. They had to wear skirts. The crowd at the football game was very nicely entertained by the three young men in skirts who paraded and capered with amusing antics. Nappy indeed are the Ireshmen who have successfully withstood the playful antics of their tormentors and who now enjoy the name of good sportsmen around the campus.

At the top of this bonfire was an eflig) of West Chester, and it was burned to ashes to show that Slippery Rock could and did. I'veryone was there. Seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen and faculty gathered round this burning mass to celebrate. I he I:reshmen will well remember because they were permitted to throw away their dinks and armbands to signify that freshman rules were no longer to be enforced. There were many speakers that evening. Coach Thompson praised the team. Ilennie Ott lauded to Coach and the boys, and Doctor l-isenberg added his word of commendation to the whole affair. One hundred sixty-seven Dedication of New Gym Members of the graduating class regret exceedingly the fact that it will be impossible for them to enjoy the benefits of the new gym that will be ready for use next fall.

The first evening was the date upon which students were urged to attend; the second evening's performance was reserved for the invited guests of the college.
