COPYRIGHT l)jj PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR (LASS OF STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE SLIPPERY ROCK, PENMA. Fair Greece! sad relic of departed worth! Immortal, though no more! though fallen great. —Byron ’ FOREWORD Over two thousand years have elapsed since the passing of the old Grecian civilization. Yet its influence is felt today. Modern masters have chosen as their guides leaders from this long-departed age and have kept alive their ancient but sound ideas. To this period we trace the birth of philosophy, oratory, literature, and art. It is in respect to this Classical Era that we have selected the Grecian theme to depict our year’s activities. May it recall cherished memories of our student days! 4 MR. THOMAS J. S. HEIM 4 To THOMAS J. S. HEIM and DR. JAMES S. GALLAGHER as a meager but heartfelt tribute to true scholars, teachers, helpmates, and friends, we respectfully dedicate this volume of the Saxigena. ♦ Great Jove, to whose almighty throne Both gods and mortals homage pay. —Byron MORROW WAY Youth, with swift feet walks onward in the way. The land of joy lies all before his eyes,-Age, stumbling, lingers slowly day by day, Still looking back, for it behind him lies. Kemble GATE WAY The whole life of man is but a point of time; Let us enjoy it, therefore, while it lasts, And not spend to no purpose. Plutarch MAIN BUILDING How charming is divine philosophy! Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose. But musical as is Apollo's lute, And a perpetual feast of nectar’d sweets. Where no crude surfeit reigns. Milton CAMPUS “And not from Nature up to Nature's God, But down from Nature s God look Nature through.” Montgomery iV’ v'r f JfM'i • aSSPS: CHAPEL A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. Bacon GYMNASIUMS “I care not. Fortune, what you we deny. You cannot rob me of free Nature’s grace, You cannot shut the windows of the shy. Through which Aurora shows her brightening face,-You cannot bar my constant feet to trace. The woods and lawns, by living stream, at eve,-Let health my nerves and finer fibers brace. And I their toys to the great children leave. Of fancy, reason, virtue, naught can me bereave.” Thomson McCONNELL’S MILLS (Dedicated to our Alma Mater) Where the Slippery Rock Creek wanders With its sparkling falls. There, in stately grace and beauty, Stand old S. R. Halls. CHORUS Sing her praises, loud resounding. Speed them on their way,-We'll be true to thee, Oh, S. R., True for aye and aye. All thy halls the day in dying. Crowns with golden light, And the morn in waking splendor Greets thee in thy might. Long may you, our Alma Mater, Shed your light abroad, As your loyal sons and daughters Live for you and God. Adda M. Elliott THE CAMPUS LANDSCAPE A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases,- it will never pass into nothingness.” —Keats How well the poet’s words lend themselves to the permanent, stabilizing atmosphere of Slippery Rock's campus. The stately catalpas, the spreading horse chestnut, graceful silver maples, the flowering almond, the magnolia, the Japanese cherry, all have been planted on the campus through the tireless efforts of Dr. R. A. Waldron, head of the college science department, with the help of other members of the institution. They have made this campus the most beautiful in the state. During the last decade a great variety of shrubs have been planted which have added notably to the attractiveness of the college. Their simple, informal arrangement portrays naturalistic lines to the floral growth. No other place in Pennsylvania, except on the Nature Trail, our natural botanical garden, does a pure strain of dog-wood grow. Not many years ago this forest was buried under with dense vines and high trees. Nature gives to Slippery Rock’s campus every season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, is but a success on of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress. Morning air in spring with a cleansing fragrance of pine, and the birds caroling in the tree tops gives one a different feeling of beauty, and to the same character passing in summer there comes still another mood, for now the stage is set with verdant lawns and trees. Another decorative touch is given by the colorful blooms, making an ideal flower-garden picture, lasting until late autumn. A special treat is reflected from the avenues of deciduous trees in early spring to late fall which permit them to fit into the immediate surroundings. Magnificent autumn sunsets send their rays directly from the west lighting up the spectrum of colorful leaves and lending a unique charm to the places. Perhaps the fascination of the last autumn months lies in the fact that Nature is about to reset the stage in her drama of the seasons. The chill air holds a threat of winter, and gradually, but peculiarly, not all the strength of beauty is lost in the depths of winter when the solemn stillness of the same sun’s rays glow over the campus with its glistening snow and white birch trees. It gives a different fascination, one of formality and repose. Truly only an artist, in whose soul rests the consciousness of nature’s lavish beauty, could paint properly the stately grace and beauty where stand old S. R. Halls. -M.

Throughout the year they have held a foremost place in athletics, dramatics, scholarship, and social activities of the campus. The men and women alike have cooperated in making all their undertakings successful and have thereby made the junior class a most enviable group. It has been said that the high standard set by this class in their play, The Passing of the Third Floor Back,” will be a difficult one to maintain, and the unique arrangements of their annual class party also portrayed the originality and adeptness of its members. In both varsity and intramural teams of football, basketball, hockey, soccer, volleyball, and debating, we find the juniors enthusiastic participants. We feel our success and achievements have been attained through the competent cooperation and leadership of our advisor, guide, and friend, Mr. Archie Dodds. ‘X) Pack tow Svet-k. Waroo Peior, Bodkin.

At this meeting officers were chosen who have proved to be very loyal. Professor A P. Vincent was the popular choice for the class advisor. The first activity of the class was the play the Dover Road, by Milne, which was produced under the able tutelage of Miss Mabel S. Eichler. Herman Weed, Alice White, and Neal Kline gave fine dramatic impersonations. The next event of the social program was the class dance held on February 17th. Because of the excellent work of Grace McCune, who had charge of the decorating, and the cooperation of the whole class, the prom proved a fine success. Athletically, the class was very prominent in school affairs. George Stonis and Fred Ortman were outstanding men on varsity teams. Led by Louis Gasparini and Milan Tatala, the class made a fine bid for interclass honors. The year as a whole has been one of many successes for the class of 35. It has been filled with many pleasant interludes, such as freshman hazing, the prom, and many other things which will make the sophomore year a pleasant one to remember in after years. 94 P-aet row Stover, Unn.

The joy of love is known only to lovers. The joy of walking home in one’s stocking feet after a shoe race is known only to freshmen. We wore green ties, green dinks, green arm bands, and black hose to the point that we actually began to look well wearing them. We used the center driveway so often that after rules were removed, we unconsciously used it and still do. After suffering initiation at the hands of the sophomores, we also suffered a defeat in football by the same hands. These experiences only stimulated the basketball team to conquer all opposition sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The two activities presented by the freshmen, the party and the play, were, in the eyes of all observers, very successful. We are a part of an institution of learning. We have an opportunity to search the farthest recesses and to bring forth hidden treasures of knowledge whereby our lives will be rich and secure. We do not take these opportunities lightly nor waste our intellectual inheritance in seeking only our own ease and pleasure We look upon these opportunities as a sacred trust which we may enjoy only if we use them wisely. Above all, we feel ihe obligation to add our contributions, though they be but small, before we pass this privilege on to those who follow us. 9S Back row—Owens, Gibb. McCIvmoods.

Brins forth the crown of immortality and put it on his brow, for this is he who has wrousht more mightily than they all!” COACHES COACH N. K. THOMPSON To eulogize at length would be a mere waste of. words. Suffice it to say that Coach N. K. Thompson’s efforts are appreciated by his players and a glance over the season's football and basketball scores proves his success as a coach. Any student who has come in contact with Mr. Thompson in his capacity as coach, or dean of men, will profit by his ideas concerning individualism to the extent that it adapts itself to teamwork and cooperation. Slippery Rock is to be congratulated on having so stable a head at the helm of athletic competition ELMER B COTTRELL Regardless of the wins or losses, Slippery Rock’s athletic teams are successful because of the influence that our director of athletics, Elmer B. Cottrell, exerts over his athletes in establishing the ideals of fair play and sportmanship. In the eyes of Mr. Cottrell, it is not the final score that makes the game a success but the lessons that the players derive from engaging in the activity. The untiring hours that he has spent in helping us to attain our goal of effciency of mind and body will be one memory that the class of 1933 will always cherish. ARTHUR P. VINCENT Friend, teacher, associate, and coach of our track team, are a few of the memories that the name of A. P. Vincent will awaken in the members of the class of 1933. Mr. Vincent is a coach who has always accepted responsibilities with a smile and improvement in any of his undertakings is assured. The success of our future track teams can be entrusted to the leadership of this dynamic and progressive personality. Here is a coach and teacher who makes the approaching hour of departure from college days harder to bear. May our paths often cross in the future, Mr. Vincent U VARSITY CLUB OFFICERS President - Harry Flister Vice-President Theodore Greiner Secretary-Treasurer Clark McClelland Bearing down on the gridiron, dribbling through on the court, pounding the cinders under the mild spring sun there s where the members of the Varsity Club win their spurs. They carry for their banner a standard of hard clean play. Their motive is to stimulate an interest in the varisty games. This club is one of the most selective. All members have been awarded the varsity $ and have been passed upon by the members before they are admitted to the club. Their purpose is to stimulate a keen interest in athletics, encourage participation in sports, and create a spirit of sportmanship. Sturdy representatives of a sound mind in a sound body, these men are influenced by the same desire for achievement in the classes and in the college activities as they are in athletics. This is evidenced by the large portion of the membership who hold noteworthy positions in scholastic honorary fraternities. The Varsity Club is a worthy body with a worthy cause, fostered by a worthy school. 104 Margunel Moran Bc'ohlavrk Dunbar CHEERLEADERS HALDON ••Hal DUNBAR Hal was senior cheerleader and knew how to get the most in cheering from the fans. If a team is to be successful, there must be consistent backing by its fans. The cheerleader's job is to instill the pep into the cheering that enables the players to know their efforts are appreciated. We were sorry to lose 'Hal' in January. CHARLES Bello BELOHLAVEK The senior cheerleading activities were taken over by Bello' in January. Bello' is most versatile and carries these features into his cheerleading. Slippery Rock is proud to have men leading her cheering who really have their heart and soul in the task. EDWARD Eddie MORAN Eddie surprised us in his freshman year by showing us a brand of cheerleading that has seldom been excelled at Slippery Rock. If there were cheers to be had from the fans, Eddie was sure to make them ring forth. We will miss you next year Eddie. ANTHONY Tony MARGURIET Our freshman cheerleader is a young chap who is always ready with a smile, a witty remark, or help. We are taking this opportunity to thank Tony, a wonderful little cheerleader, for the typing he contributed to this section of the book. 107 FOOTBALL FOOTBALL The 1932 football schedule was undoubtedly the hardest one that Slippery Rock's Green and White team has faced to date, considering that the first four games were played against teams that are top-notchers in Gass B College Football circles. On the other hand the State Teachers Colleges that Were met rank the highest in athletic competition. Slippery Rock’s powerful Rockets inaugurated the 1932 football season by taking a drubbing from Westminster, 20-0. The contest was hard fought throughout and it was only the fourth quarter of the game that proved Slippery Rock's undoing. The Rockets showed occasional flashes of the form of a year ago, but did not measure up to the first class outfit that had defeated Waynesburg the previous year. The second game saw the Teachers defeated by the champion Waynesburg Wolves, 18-0 This victory seemed to break the spell that Slippery Rock has exerted over Waynesburg’s efforts against the Rockets. Undaunted by these defeats Slippery Rock met Grove City in one of the hardest and cleanest fought football games that ended in a 0-0 tie. An unusual feature of the game was the fact that Grove City used no substitutes during the entire contest. Pregame dope had Slippery Rock on the short end of the score but fighting with true Slippery Rock spirit the under dog held the powerful Grove City team to a 0-0 tie, thus gaining a moral victory which made our 1932 season a success. The next two games, coming as they did on the heels of the strenuous Grove City contest found many of coach's first string players out of the fray with injuries. Thiel and Glenville defeated the Rockets by 12-0 scores. Slippery Rock’s now hardened warriors ran rough shod over Clarion in a onesided contest. Every member of the squad saw action and in this game Bud’ Freed came crashing through with his history making run for a touchdown. He helped add to the 35-0 victory. The following Saturday found our hard-hitting Rockets wallowing in a sea of mud, but taking a 7-0 decision from one of Indiana's greatest squads. Continuing their winning streak Slippery Rock was able to achieve the final goal when it defeated its bitter foe and rival, Edenboro, 15-0. With this victory came a Western Conference championship. The final game at Lock Haven left much to be desired and Lock Haven taking advantage of a Slippery Rock fumble was able to wrest a 7-0 victory from our warriors. With five defeats, three victories, a scoreless tie with Grove City, and the retaining of the Western Conference championship, proclaims the 1932 season another success. Although Coach Thompson will lose a few well known ball players there is a nucleus of letter men left that will furnish the backbone for next year s machine. 108 Rack iow Svetek (trainer), 8lum, Reed (manager), Alter, Cottrell, Rohlirvdt.

CAPPEZUTI Center (Captain) Besides captaining the Rockets during the past season, Cappy earns the distinction of being the hardest working gridder on Coach N. K. Thompson's 1939 edition. Always passing accurately and opening gaping holes for our backs, Cappy struck fear into the hearts of Slippery Rock's opponents when he backed up the line as only he could do! This was Cappy's third and last year, and there is no saying we ll miss him. JACK F. BENZ Quarterback Here he is folks! He not only called signals with an unusual display of common sense, but the way in which he could run back punts was a sight to behold. Peabody Jack's passing and punting idol leave nothing to be desired. Another senior leaves another worry for Coach. HARRY Red FLISTER I ittle Harry is the Duauesne boy whose hard and rugged tackling made football history Always a quiet chap, he has definitely proved the old adage that action speaks louder than words, for Red has put in four years of that type of tackling and blocking that makes a football game Despite his eccentricities, Flister will be missed MICHAEL PERCOSKY Perkie, a product of Turtle Creek, came to Slippery Rock with a reputation that immediately put him in line for a varsity berth. Although it is not fair to pass judgment on his ability since Percosky saw only limited service this season, nevertheless, it is our guess that he will make a successful bid for a varsity berth next year. —:— EUGENE Peanut FORKER Peanuts ' the biggest little man in seven counties. Forker was Slippery Rock's outstanding back and was a consistent ground gainer. Here is one boy who never gave the Coach any trouble and the way he backed up the line was a beautiful sight to witness. MICHAEL KAMORA Mike 'every inch a football player. His consistency in his line play is second to none. Although a hard, vicious tackier, his opponents have only praise for his ability for no element of unsportsmanship enters into Kamora's playing. Being of all - American caliber, it is natural that he will be a mainstay of the team next year. FRANK AFRICA Unrecognized as a football player until the annual freshman-sophomore tilt, Africa was given an opportunity to display the same brand of football in varsity competition. We expect to hear good reports about this boy next year GEORGE Red STONIS This puny individual was hardly a fit candidate for Coach's Big Green outfit because of his failing health and delicate physique. However, after getting used to eating six dormitory meals a day, Red came through the season with little difficulty. We congratulate Coach Thompson and the team on having this bulwark on the right side for two more seasons. ALBERT Red YUHASZ Good old ’Red. Breaking into the varsity squad in his last year, Red” showed us he was as good as he is large. We'll surely miss Red's humor and pep next year, and one can see we'll have a big hole to fill. ORVILLE Bud FREED Bud will live m the hearts of all lovers cf hard, rugged football. Freed was unnoticed until he flashed a run in the Clarion game that literally put him on the spot. Freed may be small but not puny. His humor and wit combined with his rugged running will make him a big asset to the squad next year. ¥5 THEODORE GREINER Ted played regular for one year, but bigger boys finally came in and forced him back a notch. Coach used Greiner whenever some added punch was needed What Greiner lacked in size was made up by his ability to play a heady game. JAMES Tubby ROWLANDS Tubby, a product of the steel mill, brought an iron will to the Slippery Rock gridiron. Tubby saw action only in his last year but the type of football displayed by this young man makes us wonder where he hid himself the first three years. Slippery Rock and Coach would profit if his three year's of nonvarsity competition could be passed on to some potential gridder. 112 ROBERT DINSMORE Bob'' is not a regular but has seen plenty of service and will probably acquire a regular berth next year. Dinsmorc has added weight to the squad, while on the other hand he has added light, wit, and humor. We are thankful that future Slippery Rock teams will not have a dearth of big fellows. RUSSEL ••Pansy KIMBERLAND Russ was always on the receiving end of the most spectacular and thrill in football, the completed forward pass. Proving that there is a high correlation between different forms of athletics, Russ is one of the few persons who also cavorts on the hardwoods. His presence will be keenly felt when the leaves begin to fall. JACK ALTER Although Indommtable Alter' did not look very promising in his freshman year, Alter made the squad and Coach take notice when he was given a chance in the Glenville game and proved to be a reai stalwart in the backfield. Here is one promising lad whom Coach will miss for Alter, the writing fool, has left us. DOMENIC Shorty MORELL Likened unto Metzger of Notre Dame fame is our diminutive but sterling guard Shorty. Always a modest, quiet chap, hiding his talent from the prying eyes of an ever vigilant faculty, Shorty has put in three years of the most consistent brand of football seen here for a long time. This bulwark of the left side is a natural leader for next year's squad. We wish you luck, Shorty! 113 HOWARD SMITH Smitty, content to be in the background for his first two years, flashed a brand of play in his third year that upset the offense and got him into the lineup more frequently. When the time came that Coach needed a competent end, Smitty filled the bill with high-priced football. MILLER KERR Halfback A fast illusive, squirming halfback is Mid ” His ability to pick holes was an asset to the eleven during his three years at the front. Injuries deprived the Green and White of his services during the greater part of last year's difficult schedule, and his graduation this January won't help us any next fall JAMES REED As manager of Slippery Rock's football team Reed was responsible for the Big Green boys appearing on the field in complete uniforms. Because this boy took care of the gate receipts, he was always a focis for the admiring eyes of the Slippery Rock lassies. durward McDowell Everything that was said for Reed goes double for Mose with this little addition; that, whereas Reed has kept young and healthy at his job of supplying the needs of a wanting team, Mose has almost lost his hair; or is it that girl back home? 114 FOOTBALL PERSONALS 1.

BASKETBALL BASKETBALL The trend in the last few years has been for athletic teams of Slippery Rock State Teachers’ College to arrange games with teams that are leaders in basketball competition. Such teams as Grove City, Thiel, Youngstown, Glenville, and Edinboro, made the 1932-33 basketball schedule one of the most difficult that Slippery Rock has ever encountered. Slippery Rock students can point with pride to the remarkable record that the Rockets made in the current campaign. The first game of the season was eagerly awaited since it marked Slippery Rock’s resumption of basketball competition with Grove City, ancient rivals Grove City proved too strong, and Slippery Rock bowed in a hectic tilt to the Grovers, 58-42 This Grove City game will persist in the memory of all Slippery Rock fans for years to come. The score can only give a small indication of the fast and furious ball that Slippery Rock handed to a highly touted Grove City five. Basketball has been most successful this year. The noteworthy items in regard to the team of 1932 are the splendid fighting spirit, the remarkable team work, and the ability to come from behind all of which carried it through a diffcult season. The never-die spirit of the Slippery Rock’s hardwood athletics was the feature of the 1932-33 campaign. Losing the first game of the season seemed to give the team needed winning impetus. Taking the second game from Bloomsburg was relatively easy, but the boys invading West Virginia came home with the short end of the score. Then the boys found their stride. In rapid succession they downed Thiel, Indiana, Youngstown, and Indiana again. Slippery Rock, primed for Edinboro, which had gained fame by downing the Titans of Westminster in the opening tilt, went up state and dropped the crucial game by a close margin. The next game was a hard won victory for Grove City. Clarion and Youngstown were easily taken into camp by the Rockets. Then the strong Glenville invaders were neatly humbled, 35-24. Captain MacClelland rose to the heights in this game, scoring 15 points. Although highly favored to win over Millersville, the last two minutes of the game proved fatal to the Green and White five, and a seemingly easy victory was turned into a stunning defeat, 27-21. Thiel College tasted sweet revenge when it handed the Green Devils a 33-29 trimming on the up-state floor Undaunted by these defeats Slippery Rock downed Clarion again. Then came that final Edinboro-Slippery Rock fracas at Slippery Rock. The 1932-33 drive was brought to one wild, racking, and sensational finish by upsetting the highly favored Edinboro five, 41-28. Ortman opened the score by chalking up two points at the beginning of the game His team mates followed his example allowing the score to stand 28-11 in favor of the Rockets at half time. Captain Clark MacClelland terminated his career as a crack forward by playing a bang-up game against the invading Redmen Coach N. K. Thompson will have no less than thirteen members of this year’s regular squad reporting to him when he issues the call next winter, which augurs well for another successful season.

Coach Thompson should not have any worries concerning a guard position, for Ortman is only a sophomore and has two more years in which to carve his name in that mtch of hardwood immortals HARRY Bucky’ HARRIS Harry, diminutive guard, made up in speed what he lacked in size. Working the ball from the back court to a position where his teammates could ring m the baskets was Harry’s specialty. Next year will be Bucky’s last year of varsity basketball, and if outside activities do not interfere, we hope that he will continue his splendid floor work. CLAIR ••Axe AXTELL Having refrained from mentioning the home town of any member of the squad so far it beehoves us to congratulate Rocky Grove in sending to Slippery Rock such a luminary as Axtell. Just a mere freshman he stepped in and held a varsity position as pivot man. At this position he displayed an ability that ranks him among the best in the district.. It is our guess that if Axtell continues to display the same brand of basketball during his remaining seasons at Slippery Rock, he will be chosen on all-district team. CAPTAIN CLARK McCLELLAND Clark McClelland, a New Castle boy, was unanimously chosen to captain the 1933 Rocket Quintet because of his ability as a leader and player. McClelland, who led the Rockets last season and this season, is recognized as one of the leading players in the Teachers' College Conference He is to be reckoned among the best when it comes to filling the hoop. His uncanny ability of throwing for the basket from all positions has made the going tough for all opponents This was particularly true this year in the home game with Glenville. In the 1931-32 season he was high scorer with a total of 103 points in fourteen games. This year Clark scored 107 points which proves he must toss that ball through the hoop with what must have been a monotonous regularity to the boys on the opposing team. We pay our greatest tribute to a recognized leader in hoping that Slippery Rock's Quintet will be captained next year by a player that can duplicate Mac's efforts. EDWARD ••Picnic PATNIK Here, there, and everywhere, describes Eddie's action on a basketball court. His alertness made him a constant menace to the opposing offense, for it was habitual for Patnik to seemingly come from nowhere to intercept the passes of his opponents. Then with a twisting lope Patnik would start down the floor and actually add two points to the Rockets' score. Patnik will leave in the midst of a basketball season for mid term graduation will take another toll. 120 RED STONIS Not content to earn letters in football and track, Stonis showed real basketball ability in the relief role of center. Before it slips our mind, we must recall his sensational dribbles down the length of the court which sometimes resulted in the ball going through the hoop while at others the ball rebounded from the banking board with a thud. THEODORE ZIEMENSKI Ziemenski and ford City awakens memories of a former memorable Slippery Rock athlete, Neeme Campbell. Breaking into the varsity lineup in his freshman year Ziemenski displayed the coolness of a veteran. Tall and rangy Ziemenski has displayed a dogged fighting spirit that will make him a valuable asset for next year's machine. JACK SWETEK Trainer Swetek is as necessary to our athletic teams as any player or coach. With his everready black bag, Jack sees plenty of action whenever there is a hard tussle on the floor and some player emerges from the fray, a little worse for the wear. MILAN TATALA Tut,” a substitute forward, saw as much action as a regular. He was called upon when the going got tough, for he was able to toss in buckets with a deadly accuracy from any position on the floor. We believe that Tut would have held a regular position had it not been for a mishap in his freshman year. But now that Tut is much wiser, there is nothing that should stop him from acquiring a regular berth next year. RICHARD Dick SHEARER Manager The importance of the basketball manager is best known to the Saxigena sports editor, who makes a last-minute inquiry for basketball statistics. Therefore, we must pay a particular tribute to that one person who is responsible for the bookkeeping part of a basketball team. The men score the points, but there must be an intelligent man behind the bench who can interpret those points so that at the end of the season we have a record. 122 -trdtfB Si — C i m«nsKi - o Sv«t«K — Trainer 5 Kart i' — 5.

HARDWOOD ART 4 125 TRACK TRACK Track was inaugurated as an intercollegiate sport at Slippery Rock in 1932. In order that Coach Vincent might discover some material suitable for his track team an interclass meet was held. This year’s sophomores easily outdistanced the Reid and took first place, running up a score of eighty points. The Rnc and feature of this meet was Nevin, who displayed an ultra-stamina winning the half-mile, two-mile, quarter-mile, and ran anchor man on the winning relay team. In the quadrangular meet with Clarion, California, and Indiana, Slippery Rock placed third, earning a total of twenty-four points. These points were the result of places by Johnston, Nevin, Freed, and Glenn. Coach Vincent now picked from the squad four deserving boys, who seemed to stand out in all around activity, and Johnston, Nevin, Freed, and Stonis represented Slippery Rock at the State Teachers' College meet held at Westchester. Although the best material in the state was represented, Johnston, our one-hundred yard flash, took a second and Nevin took a third. The final meet was held at Clarion State Teachers' College. Although Slippery Rock copped most of the Rrst places Clarion won the meet with the most points scored. Slippery Rock took first places in the 220, 440, hurdles, and 100 yard dash. These places were taken by Johnston, Nevin, Freed and Martin respectively. With a track season at the portals as this goes to press, we find that practically all of the letter men are out, which will provide an experienced nucleus for creating a successful team.

All of these men are encouraged by their showing in the first year of intercollegiate activity and will strive to earn some first places in coming meets. Arthur P.

He has been clocked in the hundred at 9.8. He has been timed in the 220 at 23, has jumped 5 feet 11 inches in the high jump, and has hoisted himself over the bar with the aid of the pole to 11 feel. Joe, in recognition of his efforts, was unanimously elected captain at the end of last year's track season. He practically led the squad that year. When Palooka hangs up his spikes, we doubt if there will be anyone who can fill them with honor. Here was one boy that could always be depended upon to earn some points for the squad. WALTER Walt NEVIN Walt is the closest thing to perpetual motion we have ever seen perform on the quarry cinders. His stamina is unusual, and the killing pace with which he starts all of his races is held to the very end. Nevin is a coach's delight for he was able to win laurels in the 440, half-mile, mile, and relay. Nevin will be with us three more track seasons. RED SHORTS Red's versatility enables him to thrill his fans with his performance on the rings, and also keeps them on their toes by his performance on the track team. Red is only a sophomore and will see action for three more years with the track squad. EDWARD Eddie WALKER Walker not only shows ability as a school sports writer, but he proved his running ability on the cinder track also. We will expect the same brand of consistent mile running from Eddie this and next track season. GEORGE Red STONIS Red’s versatility is proved by the fact that he is the only three-letter man in the school, having earned laurels in football, basketball, and track. His power was welcome in the discus throwing and shot-put. Stonis will be with us two more years. 128 MINOR SPORTS B« k iow—Mdcho. Morre'l, G«irr, HencH, Stover, P«lnik. JoK niton Fng!.ih •.ceotsm).

Gallagher, coach of our gym team; so may we refer you to the dedication page where the relative merits of Dr. Gallagher are set forth at length. GYM TEAM The purpose of a gym team in any school is to build up a high standard of physical efficiency and to encourage enthusiasm for gym work. In the past it has been the policy for seniors who have been active in gym competition and have attained a certain degree of coordination to be awarded letters with the approval of Dr. Gallagher and the athletic council. It has been the usual policy for seniors on the squad to act as co-captams. An exhibition was put on at New Castle on March 30th and 31st. The features of this meet that thrilled the audience were the performances put on by Morell on the horizontal bar, Berry and Patnick in a tumbling act, Jeroski on the parallel bars. Belohlovek on the horse, and Captain English on the rings. The meet held at Slippery Rock on April 12th was a thriller. With each contestant trying to outdo the other a brand of competition was displayed that kept the audience fighting hard to hold their seats Dr. Gallagher is to be commended, for, starting with practically a group of tyros, he has whipped them into a group that could hold its own with any professional gym team. Our gym team is a worthy supplement to the work of the health education department at Slippery Rock State Teachers’ College. 130 INTRA-MURAL SPORTS For the first time in the history of the school an award was made for the victors in the inter-class activities. This award is a green pennant with white lettering upon it, and it was presented to the class of 1935 for winning first place among the classes during the 1931-32 school year. This class, then freshmen, was successful in attaining three first places and one second berth, while they finished in last position in the remaining event. The first places came in basketball, baseball, and track. Second place was their award in soccer, while touch football proved their weakness. Outstanding among the participants of the various teams of the class of 1935 were: Gasparini, Baird, and Church in soccer; Tatala, Meals, and McDonald in basketball; Honkinen, Alter, and Ortman in baseball; and Shorts, Nevin, Glenn, and Freed in track. Mr. A. Dodds is planning to award a banner to the most deserving class yearly, and a special room will be set aside for displaying these trophies. MR. ARCHIE DODDS The students of Slippery Rock are fortunate in having so capable and enthusiastic a man as Mr. A. Dodds in the position of director of intramural sports. The seniors and especially those who have had any personal contact with Mr. Dodds will carry into their classrooms the influence of his ideals concerning clean, fair, competitive sports. The program is worthy of attention when one considers that intramural athletics may involve seventy-eight per cent of a college's student body, and can only be made worthwhile if attractively organized and intelligently supervised. We are in complete sympathy with Mr Dodds when he says: As equipment facilities improve, interest and support grows, and time permits, there will be a gradual expansion of intramural sports that will provide for all an opportunity to participate in natural, wholesome forms of physical activity. 132 FPfSHMAN SOUAD (JoKph rngl h, c© ch JUNIOR SOUAD (Dorn Mor ll, «Mch) SOPHOMORf CHAMPS (G ois Storm coach) INTRA-MURAL FOOTBALL An important phase of intramural activity at Slippery Rock is the interclass football competition. Because of the intense class spirit, intramural football offers as many thrills as varsity competition. From the initial day at Slippery Rock an intense rivalry is boomed by the freshmen and sophomore classes which is brought to a head by the annual freshmen and sophomore intramural game that finds the entire student body at the quarry stadium. In this spectacular clash the superior coached Stonis sophomore team easily put the freshmen in their place, handing them a 12-2 lacing. In the playoff the sophomores found the opposition coached by Morell more difficult to down. The sophomores finally defeated the juniors, 6-0. The juniors staged a comeback in the fourth quarter but lack of time prevented the junior team from tieinq the score. Our readers will notice a conspicuous absence of the Rice coached senior team. The seniors did not play, for Coach Rice did not feel that the varsity basketball material that composed his squad could be risked in the fray. First place honors went to the sophomore class. Many of the thrills of these contests were provided by the Tatala-Ortman passing combination for the sophomores, and by the sterling work of McGarvey and Baldwin on the line. The great defensive work of Gibbony. Pawka, and Swetic dominated the junior game. Snitz” Rogers, Livengood, freshmen backs gave their opponents plenty of trouble. Progress of the sport at Slippery Rock State Teachers College will be watched with great interest by every college student. INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL Slippery Rock’s interclass basketball league inaugurated its fourth season on January 8, 1933, under the supervision of Mr. A. Dodds This year the student body followed their respective class teams with interest and enthusiasm which speaks well for future activity along intramural basketball lines. Any person attending Slippery Rock is eligible to play on a class team, providing he is not a member of the varsity squad. The coaches, elected by the various candidates reporting for the class teams, were: Rowlands, freshmen,- Mehaffey, sophomores; Rice, juniors,- and McClelland, seniors. All the coaches were members of the senior class. The freshman team, under the tutelage of Rowlands had no difficulty in defeating all comers. The freshman club was composed of possible varsity material. The feature of the club’s consistent playing was the outstanding work of Kerr, Canning, Smith, and Goodlin. The interesting conclusion to this year’s league standing is the triple tie for second place. But second place is arbitrarily awarded to the juniors for the co-worker on this sport edition happens to be the coach of the junior team. We will go on record saying that interclass basketball is the activity which most adequately provides an opportunity in a health education school for training in playing the game and an opportunity to acquire valuable coaching experience. The quality of the competition this year augurs well for an even greater coming season of interclass basketball for our director Mr. Dodds has really instilled a conscientiousness in persons who actively take part in the sport y INTRA-MURAL FOOTBALL 1.

This year there were games between classes as well as a varsity schedule with Grove City. In the hectic tilts that were offered by the class teams, the sophomores succeeded in coming out on top. These were close, hard fought games, featured by the booting and guarding of Rowlands, Gasparini, Johnston, McDowell, and Patnik. A varsity team composed of stellar players from the various class teams, was organized. Two games were scheduled with Grove City. In both of these Slippery Rock was victorious. The all-star team journeyed to Grove City for its initial game, where they defeated Grove City by a close score The prize however turned out to be the home game with Grove City. Imagine a soccer game played in six inches of snow which was whipped into a blinding storm by a sweeping gale. Before the game could be started the snow had to be swept from the boundary lines, which then resembled deep ravines. Under such conditions true sport competition ensues for there is no reward in such an ordeal except the value to be derived from playing the game. This game ended in a rout for Grove City, for Slippery Rock's booting warriors succeeded in scoring six points while completely shutting out Grove City Although the loss of senior members Johnston, McDowell, Shearer, and Captain Rowlands will be keenly felt, there are prospects for an excellent team next year The skill and general ability which the players exhibited in their first year of varsity competition makes possibilities much brighter. Since this year's varsity soccer team functioned so smoothly, the team as a whole rather than individual members, is to be commended. In soccer the group working as a unit is essential to success for here we see no spectacular runs or dribbles, but a relentless passing between players that will eventually put that ball between the posts Mr A. Dodds, director of intramural sports, coached the varsity soccer team.

Since then there has been a gradual and steady growth until at the present time there are fifty-eight alumnae and twenty-one active members. The membership is limited to the girls in the junior and senior classes of the Health Education Department, who are elected to the club by a unanimous vote during their junior year. Through the earnest cooperation of both the alumnae organization and the active club, a scholarship of one hundred dollars is given the person or persons whom the club deems most worthy. This year the club considered itself most fortunate in securing the Misses Kathryn Matheny, Gladys Sanderson, and Kathryn Allen as honorary members. The members elected from the class of 1934 included Feme Dullinger, Frances Boozer, Elizabeth Aiken, Helen Keiser, Mildred McCullough, Dakota Knight, Eleanor Remaley, Josephine O’Brien, Jane Laird, and Truth Miller. We, the class of '33, sincerely extend to you, the new members, our wishes for success. ns W. A. A. Motto A Sport for Every Girl and Every Girl in a Sport. Through the organization of the Women’s Athletic Association of State Teachers’ College, Slippery Rock, mass athletics has been motivated; as a result interest and enthusiasm have been created among the women of the college to a superlative degree. We believe that one of the most valuable assets of the program of mass athletics is that it provides every member of the group an opportunity to take an active part in a healthful and enjoyable activity. HOCKEy It was a beautiful crisp fall day. Every one was excited about something. Could it be about one of those inspiring chapel programs9 No, it was the day hockey season was to open. The day that the hockey enthusiasts had longed for all during the summer months had come. Sticks were oiled, balls were painted, and everyone was awaiting the whistle which was to start the color tournament. Sixteen different colors, ranging from a bright cardinal red to an anemic shade of orchid, participated. A wreath of golden rods was presented to the blues who carried off all laurels. ON TO THE NEXT Members of the senior class were chosen by Miss Compton to serve as hostesses for a hockey party. Each hostess sent out invitations to not more than fourteen people. The color scheme was carried out in black and blue. Do you want to know about the refreshments9 They were just broken hockey sticks for the main course with a side dish of cracked shins and a little of Sloan s liniment for dessert. Hostess Driefus had by far the best party. NOW WHAT HAVE WE Nothing more than the honorary varsity squad running up and down the field getting in shape for the big game with the Pitt Hockey Club. The day arrived. The grandstand was filled to capacity Among the notables present were Dr. Eisenberg, Miss Johnson and Foxy, who were ready to give the team their loyal support. At first a cloud of gloom hung low over the varsity squad, for they considered themselves handicapped, because the Pitt players appeared on the field without stockings. Evidently that extra weight of clothing didn't mean a thing to our players as the final score was 5-0 in favor of S. R. What a victory! What a victory! A BIG SURPRISE You surely haven’t forgotten how those freshmen upset the class tournament by beating the juniors. And don’t you think for one minute that the seniors were not grateful to the frosh for putting them back in the running after they had been beaten by the juniors. The seniors had held the juniors for three tie games, then Dame Fate (who is she?) stepped in and bid the juniors a winning hand. We wait for fair weather to decide the final winners of this tournament. Here’s hoping the seniors win! 140 GIRLS’ HOCKEY SENIOR WOMEN: Back row— Glenn.

Monday evening finds the gymnasium illuminated in every corner, and keen competition running high. If an outsider should happen in, he would undoubtedly compare the eager enthusiasm displayed in the various activities to a three ring circus The shouting and cheering descending the stairway from small gymnasium A would tell him that a most interesting and excitable game of volleyball was under way. As he enters the main floor of gymnasium A, he pauses and gasps for breath, for he sees many courageous acrobats either performing a fly-away on the horizontal bar, a cut-away on the rings, a shoulder-stand on the parallel bars, or some unique mat work with individual stunts. The spectator now passes through the corridor into the gymnasium 8 where such exclamations as, Shoot, Boozer! Shoot! Take it out, Whites! meet his ears. On looking over the players he wonders from where all these tall forwards come. With them it is just a 1-2-3; then a goal. Every year two all-star teams are chosen from the classes of the college, and they are known as the green and white teams. They are the cream of the crop, and, as would be expected, display extraordinary skill in handling the basketball. This year they have been excellently matched 142 archery There is nothing so invigorating as an early round of archery on a morning after a heavy dew has fallen. This sport is an excellent -patience tester.” It is difficult to continue shooting a round after breaking or losing a couple of arrows. Nevertheless, the bull s eye has that certain something that tempts one to stay just a little longer. swimming With the opening of our swimming pool last fall, a most needed form of recreation was introduced at Slippery Rock. Immediately plans for a W. A. A. Swimming Club were drawn up and organized. The purpose is to give assistance to individuals who wish to learn to swim and to instruct others in diving and perfecting their strokes. To be eligible for the club the following requirements must be passed: three front dives,- three back dives,- three front Jacks in succession,- swim twenty-two laps of the pool, using correct turns,- five lengths of the crawl; four lengths of the back crawl,- tired swimmer's carry,- two optional carries. The following have met these standards and have received the W. A. A. Swimming Club insignia: Charlotte Dierst, Helen Glenn, Berenice Driefus, Sarah Duncan, Margaret Fischer, Florence Seldon, Kathryn Koch, Frances Doucette, Ruth Helsel, Ruth Zitzman, Ruth Washburn, Pauline Walker, Jane Mitchel, Alice White, Ruth Wetter, and Beatrice Davies. 143 A course in life-saving, which was open to every student in the college, was conducted by Miss Compton, Miss Matheny, and Mr. Cottrell Many individuals availed themselves of this opportunity to become qualified as swimming instructors. Both the Senior Red Cross Life Saving and Examiners' Tests were administered. Those passing the Examiners Tests are: Beatrice Davies. Frances Doucette, Helen Glenn, Florence Seldon, Charlotte Dierst, Ruth Zitzman, Ruth Helsel, Margaret Fischer, Katherine Koch, Alice White, and Rebecca Horner. Those passing the Senior Life Saving Tests are: Adeline Barnhart, Berenice Driefus, Virginia Burgess, Fern Dullinger, Sarah Duncan, Rosella Finley, Bessie Gallagher, Marjorie Gould, Florence Hill, Jean Humes, Pauline Keefe, Mary Ellen Kiester, Dakota Knight, Berenice Mikesel, Dorothy Reynolds, Jane Rohland, Marion Tranter, Pauline Walker, Ruth Washburn, Ruth Wetter, Lillian Williams, Katherine Wolmeldorf, and Dorothea Watkins. TRACK Track, a minor sport in our college, has not been developed to the same degree as many of our other activities. Quality, rather than quantity, is ace high’ in this sport. This was shown when our representative track team went to compete against the very best at the A. M. A. meet. Evidently the best didn't arrive until Daddy Vincent presented his all-star brood. They carried off the meet and returned to their Alma Mater with all the souvenirs offered. Members of this record-breaking team are: Ruth Solomon, Jane Laird, Earnestine Shenk, Helen Booth, and Betty Bowser (alumna). 144 FENCING Back to Days of Chivalry ' was the slogan of the senior girls when they took up the art of fencing This sport has been somewhat of a class activity since instructions are only given in the senior year. Ask Helsel how it’s done, because when she makes a thrust something is bound to happen GOLF All set? Are the clubs in? A red Buick dodges Slippery Rock traffic and comes to a stop at the golf course located at Slippery Rock Park The technique of the game is explained by Miss Compton, and professional golfers are produced at the rate of two a minute. It doesn't take us long to catch on. TENNIS Time- 5:30 A. M. Here an alarm there an alarm; everywnere an alarm--- Then a mad dash to check a tennis court, while Hockenbury is knocked down by the on-coming mob. At 5:31 a. m. all the courts are filled much to the sorrow of those lovers of sleep, who live in South Hall and along the Keister Road. Tennis is the most popular of our sunny day sports. 145 W. A. A. OFFICERS President - Frances Doucette First Vice-President - - Berenice Driefus Second Vice-President - Helen Keiser Secretary ----- Florence Hill Treasurer ------ Mary Renick The Women s Athletic Association was introduced in the fall of 1930, and under the guidance of Miss Elmira Compton, has functioned for three successful years. The aim of the club is to foster enthusiasm in athletics among the women of the college by providing a regular schedule of sports in which they may participate, according to their own desires. The hour and place where the contest is to be played is posted daily on the bulletin boards maintained especially for this purpose. The various activities are always characterized by a spirit of good fellowship, sportmanship, and skill of participants. It is well worth anyone's time to observe a W. A. A. team at practice, and during a tournament one’s time is not his own. It is not a fair weather organization; it functions just as well in the winter as in the spring or fall. The heads of hockey, archery, tennis, mushball, and track are busy planning various forms of amusement during the out-of-door” days when old-man winter spreads his blanket of snow, the interest turns to swimming, basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics. Hiking is extremely popular all year round. The object is a sport for every girl in the college, and every girl in a sport. 146 The mind ought sometimes to be diverted that it may return the better to thinking. —Phraedus SAXIGENA STAFF EDITORIAL The 1933 Saxigena has been compiled in an effort to give to the students and faculty of Silppery Rock State Teachers College a brief resume of the activities during the school year 1932-33 It has been the policy of the staff to gather and present all phases of college life, not too serious in mannerism, but with a conscious attempt to uphold a year-book tradition. CARL H. BRKTKNFR EditorinChiel The untiring efforts of Carl H. Brickner to introduce a new standard for year-book publications at Slippery Rock have been amply rewarded by this year's edition of the Saxigena. The cooperation of Mary E. Stewart in the compilation of the book, as well as Anthony Bullano and Beatrice Davies, sports editors,- Mary Louise Fisher and Leon D. Radaker, activities editors; James Bowman, senior editor, was profound. Other members of the staff pictured below, also added materially to the common cause Saxigena.

Did anyone write up vespers? When will that news come in? These are just a few of the queries that one news-hound asks another many times in the course of a week, and it is the familiar language used at the meeting of the Press Club on Monday afternoon in the Main Building. It is through the efforts of the members of the club that the college has a page published in the Slippery Rock Signal every week and a page in the Butler Eagle each Monday. Aside from the regular activities, the staff publishes the entire Signal, that is, it takes care of news, make-up, and editing of the whole paper, once each year. Those students who have shown ability in the journalism course and who are interested in newspaper writing are members of this club. Dr Mellicient McNeil, the faculty sponsor of the club, is very active in the interests of the organization, and it is through her unlimited knowledge of newspaper publishing that she has so capably aided the members in their work. 152 MUSICAL I SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary -Sponsor Russel Pisor Harry Flister - Emma Hoffman Mrs. Gladys H. Arnold Forty-six young aspiring musicians met in the chapel each Monday night for an hour's good training in the world’s classics. These persons constituted the Symphony Orchestra. All things start from small beginnings,’ it is said. That has been the case with the Symphony, it would seem. This organization grows yearly in numbers and in the popularity with the general Student body, which proves that in our own little corner of the world we can enjoy the finer things of life. We believe in giving credit where credit is due. A very great deal of credit for this success is due to the excellent leadership of the director, Mrs. Gladys Arnold However, without the cooperation of the members of the orchestra, nothing could be accomplished. They must be commended for their efforts and consequent success. No activity on our campus has a more elevating cultural effect than the work of this orchestra, for music, when soft voices die, lingers in the memory 154 1 Griffiths, T«ylor O'tiMn, BulUno. fliltfr, Graham Si—tool. Evant ACTIVITIES ORCHESTRA Music for the social phase of life is taken care of at Slippery Rock by the college activities orchestra which furnishes modern dance music for the Tuesday and Thursday evening dances. The orchestra also provided the music for the college parties and the alumni and fraternity dances. The organization this year was composed of eight members who took the work of furnishing rhythmic music very seriously, and the result was that the orchestra undoubtedly enjoyed its most successful year. The Activities' Orchestra has always cooperated with any organization or faculty member when certain incidental music was desired. Much of the success of the orchestra is due to Mrs. Gladys Arnold, faculty sponsor, who has provided a working cooperation between the group and the administration.

The purpose is to develop an appreciation for classical music, to acquire skill in the reading of music, and to know the value of true harmony. Throughout the year the Glee Club has sung at various school activities as well as sponsoring a movie. The home concert was a well-planned affair, including not only a musical program, but other talent as well. Several trips were taken by the club. It also broadcast a program which was well received and much appreciated by Slippery Rock students and alumni. The club is under the direction of Miss Marion Gerberich. Miss Margaret Fischer is the accompanist. Several social events were held, culminating in the annual banquet. 156 L«� � row—$ nor, L ngy l, Sipr, K«l! f Fourth row—Minnd Weller, Retter, Clelend.

To show what they have accomplished, the girls give concerts on several different occasions including Parent’s Day, Mid-Winter Commencement, Christmas, and several Chapel periods. Under the direction of Miss Marion E. Gerberich, the club has been working toward the annual concert for this spring. This concert is planned by the members, and uses their own talent from the group in the form of dances, readings, and instrumental, and vocal solos. A trip is planned so that the club may show high schools what type of work is being done at Slippery Rock. There are also several social activities held to supplement the musical entertainment. 157 Back row -S' nonj. Jack. Hme . Elliott Harbiion Third row -Griffith Put . Dunlap. Walker. MeGarvey.

Arnold The Band is a comparatively new organization on the campus. On February 20, 1932, it made its first appearance by playing for a basketball game. Since that time it has become an integral part of every athletic contest. It has been a big factor in increasing the pep and giving the needed inspiration at the football and basketball games. It has also provided much entertainment at the spring concerts. Added color is given when the Band is arrayed in its striking green and white uniforms. This, together with the martial music, has ably aided our teams to victory. The Band is under the capable supervision of Mrs. Gladys Arnold, who has devoted much of her time and energy in its development. The Band also adds to its popularity by the spring concerts, which it gives annually on the campus. It has a large following and promises to attract many talented performers in the near future. 158 Back tow-Hiftfl, Kelly, Ur« Stann! Ois l Third row — Brett , Bowwn, Shtrtf. Irwin.

Hunt Mormon VESPER CHOIR The Vesper Choir, one of the oldest clubs in the college, is the organization which furnishes the music for the Vesper Services on Sunday evenings. It has given several services which have been strictly musical in nature. The Christmas Vespers was made up chiefly of carol anthems of various nations as well as many of the famous Christmas carols. Before the Easter vacation the choir gave Stainer’s Cantata, ’ The Crucifixion.” The entire music was selected from the Cantata and was given by local talent. In addition to these services the choir had appropriate music for the special holidays and the baccalaureate sermons. As a reward for their efforts, the members of the choir are given charms. The number of years of service is shown by the metal used in making the charm. For the first year the charm is bronze,- second year, green gold,- third year, silver,- and fourth year, yellow gold. The annual trip to Pittsburgh, given the choir by Dr. J. Linwood Eisenberg and the college, was much enjoyed. Other social events held throughout the year helped to complete a very successful season 159 l tl row Stiver CUypool, Mormon, Orevee, forjvthe, H«t� ler.

This girls’ glee club was organized five years ago by Mrs. Gladys Arnold, the present director. Membership in this club is chosen on the basis of voice quality and music reading ability. Any girl in the college who wishes to participate in this type of extra-curricular activity is urged to try for membership in the club. In the spring of each year from sixty to eighty members sponsor a concert. This year the Madrigal Club gave a cantata and a miscellaneous musical program in the college chapel 160 B«cl iow Peglow, McGgrvry, Kummcr. Sttwtrt Hunndl. Hwv � Fourth row Lawion. H4wV.

Arnold The Baton Club, under the capable direction of Mrs. Gladys Arnold, has furnished instruction to those who are interested in the directing of instrumental or vocal music. This is one club that gives practical application along with the theories of music. Several members have participated in various activities on the campus. One from the club has been acting as the student director of the college band, and another has been assisting in the direction of the high school band. The student directors for the senior class programs have been chosen from the Baton Club. Other capable members have been leading the music in the junior and senior high school chapel programs. Much of the success of the organization is attributed to the untiring efforts of Mrs Arnold, who has devoted much of her time and knowledge, so that others interested in music might absorb the valuable information which she has to give. It is hoped that in the future many students will realize the beneficial results to be derived from participation in this organization. 161 9 1 ORATORYand DRAMATICS Back cow S« Oa '.

S. Heim The Demosthenian Debate Club consists of a group of students who appreciate the advantages to be derived from participation in debate and parliamentary procedure. They have organized themselves into an association for the study and practice of debating. Extemporaneous speaking, reasoning, and presentation are also stressed in this activity. It is one of the most practical clubs at the college for these reasons. The purpose of the club is not only to exclusively prepare students for the varsity debating team, but to aid as well those who feel the need of ability to express their thoughts before a group. To become a member, one must give a five-minute talk on some subject of current interest. The social side has not been neglected. A weiner roast was given at the earlier part of the year on the lower nature trail. At the mid-year a banquet was given in honor of the incoming members. Much of the practical phase of debating procedure has been gleaned from the faculty sponsors, Dr. Tallcott and Mr Heim, who have had a wealth of experience in debating. I Sack row-S'. Cla r, Coiton.

This year Miss Mabel Eichler directed the sophomore class in its production of Dover Road ' by Mi I Ion,- the junior class in The Passing of the Third Floor Back, by Jerome,- and the freshman class in Dirty Hands, by Edwin L. and Albert Baker. Dr. Rollo. A. Tallcott directed the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.’s production of the Queen’s Husband, by Sherwood, and the senior class play Icebound, by Davis. In these plays was found talent that ranked high with amateur productions among our fellow colleges. The Dramatic Club also designed and made the costumes for the Old English Christmas, and various other programs were arranged and presented by the club members.

Arthur Sherman - - Secretary - - Harry R. Roslund The Nature Guides constitute the most advanced group in biological science in the college. To become a Nature Guide one must pass eighteen individual tests dealing with all phases of nature Study, including tests on flowers, trees, birds, microscopic life, physiography, geology, and astronomy. Since the tests are so rigid, the membership is naturally small. The work of the Nature Guides consists in keeping the nature trails in good condition as well as labeling the interesting things on the trail. They collect material for the laboratory and work out individual teaching projects in the field of nature study. The Guides aid in leading groups of students from the other science clubs. This year they have published a Nature Guide Observer The purpose of this news letter is to place before others interested in nature those things which have been observed by the Guides. At the end of the senior year a Nature Guide certificate is given which entitles the holder to teach nature study in camps, parks, and museums. This is the only organization of its kind in existence in this part of the country, and much of its success is due to the untiring efforts of Dr Ralph A. Waldron, Mr. Keller Shelar, and Mr. Clay C Ruff, the faculty sponsors. ► 168 B cV row Rotlund Monnlrr. Pochybj, Hofnclitcr Second low Hyk � , GigOAr. Rodakir Row fiickrrt fIftt row RicS.ird, Hcn v.

The purpose for its organization was to train its members to become efficient nature counselors in schools and summer camps. It also hopes to develop a lasting interest in nature study, so that the individual will go on of his own free will. Since there is no formalized course of nature study offered in the college curriculum this year, it has attempted to take over this work. Membership in this organization is secured by having successfully completed one semester of biology and having shown an active interest in the field of nature study. The club owes much of its success to the capable supervision of Mr Keller Shelar, who is the sponsor. Hikes are taken throughout the year to give added significance to facts observed in the club. Nature study is attacked from the view of making it vital in the life of the child and to make him desire to know about nature. lf� ) 8«tk row Hofmruttr. PocSyba Kurt . Elliott.

Waldron The Physical Science Club is one of the youngest organizations at the college, but it is growing in popularity. It was born in January, 1932, when interested students met to participate and solve the problems that confronted the everyday life. The club has a variety of interests. The programs are based on nature study, astronomy, camp-craft, and other activities of a similar nature. It also acts as a stimulant for those students who later wish to become Nature Guides. Membership is open to all those who have signified their desire to become affiliated with the club by their intense interest in physical science Much of the success of the club has been due to the untiring efforts of Dr. R.

A. Waldron - - Advisor - Dr. R. A. Waldron If you see a group of students dashing madly about on the roads in hiking costumes, do not be alarmed, as the Open Road members are taking their weekly stroll. Wind, rain, or sleet fails to stamp out their earnest desire to get out-of-doors with Mother Nature. Hikes are taken every week to some interesting spot. Wolf Creek, Mineral Springs, the Limestone Quarry, and the nature trails have been thoroughly explored by this band of inquisitive hikers. The purpose of the club is to develop a burning desire for the out-of-doors and a keen interest in science. With this interest the members have discovered many of Mother Nature’s secrets. The organization also serves as a “feeder” for the Nature Guides. The success of the organization is largely due to the splendid leadership of Dr. Ralph A. Waldron, who has had much to do with inspiring the members to learn the philosophy that may be found in meadow, brook, and forest life. 171 B« k row Djnbo', V«rnu« Bodkin Second row- Hisginj.

The membership is made up largely of students who have shown a special interest in the field of geography. A program of special significance this year was a talk on Russia by Dr. Thomas C. Blaisdell, in which he told the club what he saw in his visit there last summer and what he has learned through reading of the conditions that exist there. Miss Priscilla Waldron told the club of her trip through the west last summer and illustrated it by motion pictures that were taken on the trip. Other talks of interest were made by various members of the club on historic spots in Pennsylvania. 172 EDUCATIONAL hQ Back row - Hendficltion Otto, B«K. Mi« Mary. Burgcu.

A. is one of the largest and most active organizations on the campus. Regular devotional meetings are held every Wednesday evening with various members acting as leaders. Discussions are held by the organization on various topics of interest to the group, varied by addresses given by various members of the faculty and friends. The Y. W. C. A. annually sponsors, along with the V. M. C. A., a party for the incoming freshmen in the fall, and a play; it also holds a Christmas bazaar, gives dolls to children in this and near-by communities at Christmas, gives a tea for students entering at the beginning of semesters, and sponsors a tea-dance on Washington’s birthday The organization regularly sends delegates to the various V. W C. A. conferences. Those who attended the summer conference in 1932 at Camp Whelen, Harvey Cedars, New Jersey, were Ruth Thomas, Helen Renick, Myra Hendrickson, and Virginia Burgess. Helen Renick was honored in being selected a member of the area committee of the National Student Organization to represent the district. 174 B«elt row Varnum, YuK «. fnullah Fifft row M� Lady.

Members of the organization state that this has been the best year for membership and work in the history of the organization. The meetings have been well planned, interesting, and well attended. They are made up of round table discussions and addresses by faculty members and outside speakers on topics of interest today. The organization has been very active, sponsoring a play and a minstrel and providing several social events for its members. The hut, which is the newly completed social building for the organization, has proved an aid in the social life that is sponsored by this organization. The Y. M C. A. wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation for the interest and cooperation of Mr. Clyde H. Lady and Mr. Archie Dodds, faculty advisors. 175 MEN'S HUT The first Y. M. C A. meetings, as far back as records show, were held in the recreational rooms of the Pines during the years 1925 and 1926. These rooms were adequate to meet the needs of the V, which boasted of a high membership of a dozen or more students. The years 1926 to 1928 found the Y quarters still in the Pines but somewhat crowded. Because of expansion in the school, the student enrollment increased, and the Y M C. A. increased with the times. The Pines were soon found to be overcrowded, and the meeting place was shifted to room 12 in gymnasium A in 1999. The enrollment increased steadily until it was evident that these new quarters would soon be over-crowded also. Perhaps it was here that the talk of a Y hut was first begun. The years of 1930 and 1931 brought another change in the quarters of the Y. This time the meetings were conducted on the gymnasium floor. In the meantime plans for the hut were being drawn and pushed by Dr. J. Linwood Eisenberg. The original plans called for a simply constructed building, a sort of log cabin. Just about this time the surrounding wood was swept by a chestnut blight, which made it necessary to cut out all the chestnut timber. It was deemed best to use this timber for the construction of the hut. 176 Early last spring ground was broken for the hut, and the foundation was soon poured Many delays were encountered in the obtaining of the materials for the building. The plans had to be revised and changed, for now Dr. Eisenberg visioned something better and finer in the place of the originally planned log cabin. The summer of 1932 was spent in the construction of the hut. In the meantime the Y” continued in the gymnasium, and plans were laid for the coming year, which would find them in the new hut. At the beginning of the fall term the building was under a roof, and it was open to partial use about the end of the semester. However, all the equipment was not installed until March 25th, the date of the house warming.’’ The building is a large rectangular one with a lounge room, which contains a huge stone fireplace. The main entrance is at one end of the assembly room. A game room, a reading room, a small office, and quarters for a custodian are located at the other end. The basement contains three bowling alleys and billiard and pool tables. The Y. M. C. A. wishes to express its gratitude and appreciation for the interest and efforts of Dr. J. Linwood Eisenberg and Mr. Walter Elder, who have done much to make the Hut what it is today.

This purpose is carried out by having discussions on current problems, which arise in the student-life of the college, guided by modern authorities on these questions. The results of these discussions are then put into practice in the form of informal picnics, afternoon teas, hikes, and in daily activities. This is one of the oldest clubs on the campus, as it was started in 1926. It is under the capable direction of Miss Lillian Johnson. The club placed itself before the student body early in the year by completing a project which had been started last year and distributing the pamphlets in the dining room. The booklet was entitled What To Do In The Dining Room. 178 l«M row—Kgylor. Lowthrr H � tung. Clayton Wright. McK«c Pattenon Morrow. Shaffer, White, Huffman. Taylor. Oravec Fourth row Keiitrr, Faulk.

It also hopes to enlarge the vision of the prospective teachers of little children and to extend the social life of each member. In order to do this effectively the program consists of three types of meetings, which include work and literary and social activities. The work type of meeting is to give a knowledge of the use of materials and how to help children use them in the classroom. The literary meeting consists of travel talks, stories and poems suitable for children, and reports of interesting readings. The social meeting consists of parties, children's games, and rhythms. Meetings are held every Friday at four o’clock. All who are taking the Kindergarten-Primary course are eligible for membership. That there is keen interest in this club is shown by the fact that it has one of the largest memberships of any activity in the college. 179 Back row—Dullmgtr, Grow. Phill'D Sfcond row—Pichifdi.

The object of the club is to stimulate interest in the French language, to acquaint students with it, to use it in conversation, to dramatize short plays, and to study the habits and customs of the French people. Meetings are held once a month. The first meeting was a dinner, which was specially planned to bring the members together in a social atmosphere and provided an opportunity for using French conversation. To be eligible for membership one must have completed two years of French in high school. Much of the success of the club must be attributed to Miss Florence Halloway, who has devoted her time and has given much help, so that students will be better able to teach French effectively in high school. 180 9 $ S FRATERNITIES 3 PHI SIGMA PI OFFICERS President - James A. Bowman Vice-President ----- - Clark McClelland Secretary ------ Leon D. Radaker Assistant Secretary - - Michael Wargo Treasurer - Anthony Capezutti Historian ------ John Svetek Faculty Sponsor - - Dr. John A. Entz Phi Sigma Pi is a national honorary professional fraternity for men and is the only one of its kind in the United States. There are sixteen chapters in the country, and the majority of the chapters are in Pennsylvania. The chapter at Slippery Rock is designated as Mu Chapter. Phi Sigma Pi was originated at Warrensburg, Kansas, in 1924. State Teachers College, Indiana, Pennsylvania, was the first to get a chapter in Pennsylvania. Mu chapter was installed at Slippery Rock on May 20, 1930. Since that time the membership has grown until the total now stands at eighty-nine. This number includes thirty-nine students, seven members of the faculty, three honorary members, and forty alumni. The honorary members are: Dr. Samuel Edwin Weber, Associate Superintendent of Pittsburgh Schools and Director of Teacher Personnel; Dr. James N. Rule, State Superintendent of Public Instruction; and Dr. Charles E. Dickey, Superintendent of Allegheny County Schools and a member of the State Council of Education. Membership to Phi Sigma Pi is limited to those persons who have sixty per cent more quality points than credit hours. Certain other qualities and qualifications are also required before an individual is extended an invitation to become a member. Phi Sigma Pi has a national magazine, The Lampadion, which has been of prime importance in helping to bind the chapters together into one national brotherhood and in giving research studies which are of professional interest to the members. Mu Chapter annually puts out a local news letter. This publication summarizes the fraternity news for the year as well as setting forth the positions on the campus which the members hold. An Eastern Regional Conference was held this year at Indiana, Pennsylvania, at which the Mu Chapter was well represented. At the meeting plans were made for changes in the national and local constitutions, professional meetings, and the Founder's Day banquet. The most significant events of the year, as far as the student body was concerned, was the sponsoring of the gigantic swimming meet and the fraternity dance. The dance was well attended by many of the alumni members. At the Founder's Day banquet Dr. Charles E. Dickey became the honorary member in accordance with the custom of having an outstanding educator become affiliated with the Phi Sigma Pi. 1X2 W GAMMA THETA UPSILON FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER Haldon Dunbar - - President — - — Anthony Bullano Anthony Bullano Vice-President Lucille Bash Jean Steele - - Secretary-Treasurer Dorothy Beerworth The Zeta Chapter of Gamma Theta Upsilon, national geography fraternity, was organized on the campus in the fall of 1932, The fraternity, which is classified as a professional geography fraternity, does not set itself up, primarily, as a scholastic honor society. It aims to afford an opportunity for extra-curricular work in geography and to increase interest in geography as a college subject. Membership is open to students in geography who have completed at least a year's work in the subject with a grade average of the median of the school and who have showed a special interest in the field. The programs have consisted largely of round table discussions by the members of the fraternity of current topics of geographic significance. It is the aim of the fraternity to present to the student body of the college speakers who have a definite contribution to make in the field of geography. The fraternity was fortunate this year in securing Dr Thomas C. Blaisdell who lectured on his trip to Russia, and Miss Margaret Shaw who sketched and illustrated her experiences in the Herbides Islands. 184 KAPPA GAMMA OFFICERS President - Mary Stewart Vice-President - James A. Bowman Secretary - - - Thelma Neuhart Treasurer - - Rebecca Cunningham Sponsor - - - - - - T. J. S. Heim The Kappa Gamma Fraternity is the newest to arrive at Slippery Rock. It was installed in October when seven students and Mr. T. J. S. Heim accepted the invitation to become a charter chapter along with six other colleges. Delta Chapter was organized with the purpose of encouraging intercollegiate participation in the forensic arts of debating, extemporaneous speaking, and oratory. It also aims to give better instruction to the members in the art of debate coaching and the practical organization of a debate team. Kappa Gamma, the national intercollegiate debating fraternity was originated at Kent State College in Ohio in 1932 by Mr. E. Turner Stump, who was elected national president. Mr. Heim was the organizer of the fraternity at Slippery Rock. He also had the honor of being elected national vice-president of the society. Annually, a Kappa Gamma debate, extemporaneous speaking, and oratory tournament is held. This year it was held at Fairmont State Teachers College on April 21st and 22nd. Slippery Rock was represented by a men's and women s team This was the first tournament to be held, and the national officers were quite well pleased with the results. The offcial publication of the fraternity is The Rostrum. This national magazine has been of prime importance in tying the chapters together into a unified organization Each chapter contributes some article of interest as well as a summary of the activities, of the fraternity. Membership to the society is limited to those persons who have participated in four intercollegiate debates or who have engaged in an extemporaneous speaking or oratorical contest in which five other colleges have competed. The establishment of Kappa Gamma has given the needed inspiration for the carrying out of an effective program of forensic activities at the college It is new, but under the tutelage of Mr. Heim, it is rapidly gaining a foremost position among the activities. 186 PI GAMMA MU : ■: FIRST SEMESTER C.

Headland Pennsylvania Theta Chapter was installed at Slippery Rock on November 14, 1929, and was the first fraternity to come to our campus. The chapter at Slippery Rock has the unique distinction of being the century chapter of Pi Gamma Mu. There are now approximately one hundred and fifty chapters of the society. Inculcation of the ideals of scholarship, scientific attitude and method, and social service in the study of all social problems is the purpose of the organization. It aims to instill in the minds of the individuals a scientific attitude toward all social questions, and its particular purpose is to send out from colleges and universities young men and women imbued with the social idealism, the training in scientific thought, and the desire to aid others to become adjusted to the great social problems. There are at present sixty-four members belonging to the chapter. Of this number ten are faculty members, fifteen are students, thirty-eight are alumni, and one is an honorary alumnus. The honorary member is Dr. C. C. Green, Superintendent of the New Castle Schools. At the Founder's Day banquet to be held in May, Dr. Roland C. Locke of Erie, an alumnus of the institution, will become the honorary member in accordance with the custom started last year of asking an outstanding man in social service work to become a member of the chapter. 1X8 Learning is a kind of natural food for the mind. —Cicero MORROW WAY In tribute to and admiration of a former student of this college, whose labors have promoted the happiness of mankind, one of the most beautiful and prominent features of our campus is to bear his name. Hereafter the approach to our chapel will be known as Morrow Wav, in honor of Dwight W. Morrow. Although this awaits the official action of the board of trustees, the announcement is made through this issue of the Saxigena. The honors of a name tis just to guard; they are a trust but lent us, which we take, and should, in reverence to the donor’s fame, with care transmit them down to other hands.' Shirley. The fo'lowing letters are the correspondence carried on by Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow, widow of the late Dwight W. Morrow, and Dr. Wm. M Tinker, Chairman of the Tradition Committee at Slippery Rock: February 9, 1933. Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow Englewood, New Jersey My dear Mrs. Morrow: Inasmuch as your husband was a student at this college, and his father was the first principal of its normal school days, it has come to us that it would be fitting to name some prominent feature of our campus after the family with your approval. Under separate cover I am forwarding to you a photograph of a beautiful approach to the chapel upon the campus. We desire to designate it The Morrow Way, the name being suggestive of notable achievements and ideals. This picture, with the name, will be a feature of the Saxigena, the annual which is published by the senior class. We trust that you can convey to us your pleasure at an early date. Our very best wishes are yours for your personal health and welfare. Believe me, sincerely yours, WILLIAM M. TINKER, Ph. D. Estate of DWIGHT W. MORROW Englewood, New Jersey March 4, 1933. My dear Dr. Tinker: Mrs. Morrow sailed for abroad about a week ago. She had hoped for an opportunity prior to going, personally to thank you for your letter of February 9th, which she greatly appreciated. Mrs. Morrow is very much pleased with your desire to name the beautiful approach to your chapel in honor of the Morrow name. She would appreciate it very much, however, if the name might be Morrow Way rather than The Morrow Way. With kindest regards, believe me, Yours sincerely, A. H. SPRINGER, Secretary. Dr. William M.

To belong to this group one must have attained proficiency in the ability to HOGA and an enthusiastic interest in science. Two posterior appendages which do not tend to become vestigial in nature to perambulate the surrounding terra-firma is also a prerequisite. If at any time you see any of this group madly dashing over the campus in pursuit of the coleaptera or lepidoptera, do not become alarmed,- they are merely attempting to discover some of Mother Nature's secrets. In attempting to divorce certain of these treasured truths from nature’s bosom, these peculiar mammals often appear to be quite ludicrous in the eyes of some of the more conservative species. While others are busily engaged in attracting others of the same species but different sex, the Bugs are entirely interested in capturing both sexes of any species of any genera of any family in any class under any order in any of the ten phylla. This difference in interests and enthusiasm has at times led to a misconceived facetiousness which is not altogether appropriate, since the group is Quite sincere in its varied pursuits. L.

The national headauarters are located at Chicago, III., with Serg. Suitshine and Homer Bru acting as its sponsors, when in condition to do so. A constitution has been drawn up and presented for approval, but it will not be acted upon until the seventh of the month. It is with great pleasure that we present the Alpha Chapter of the R. D. R., of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. Gaze ye upon their far-famed and illustrious faces. (You can find them in any rogues gallery). There are millions clamoring for admittance, but only a select few are chosen. We sincerely hope the class of 1934 will attempt to carry out the plans of our founders and establish a precedent for others to follow. Give o'l Serg. Suitshine and Homer Bru a break. They mav have some one depending on them for support! 213 - IXNAY ABIE BAY.” 1934 STAFF The above individuals were selected by the senior class to edit the 1934 publication of the Saxigena. Ihey appear as follows: Mr. Wayne Stover is to be the staff snapshot man, and he comes to help Gib” at an opportune time. Wayne is a sure shot, a willing and cooperative worker. We take this opportunity to thank him in a small way for his incomparable assistance with this book. The potential senior class is to be complimented in their selection of Gilbert C. Bacon, former University of Cincinnati student, and one of the outstanding individuals listed on the junior class roster, as editor-in-chief of the 1934 Saxigena Bacon, hailing from Duquesne, possesses a true unaffected sincerity, which will reflect in a precise, accurate publication, combining the best qualities of former college books Best of luck to you, Gib. We suggest Bayers. Another Duquesne lad makes good. Michael Wargo is selected business manager of the new year book. Mike, well-known in Pittsburgh aquatic circles, will direct his attention to the Shylock act when he takes over Bacon s financial worries for the coming season. This congenial gentleman, Wylie A. Lazear, is known to many as the local representative of The Northern Engraving and Electrotype Company. We wish to take this opportunity to express our meager thanks to a man who helped us with many weighty problems and for his willing cooperation. Thanks again to a real supporter and a buddie. 214 ACKNOWLEDGMENT No metaphysician ever felt the deficiency of language so much as the grateful. —Colton.

Again we want to thank everyone for their assistance in making this publication an expected success. THE EDITORS. 215 SENIOR CLASS In September, 1929, our class stood before the mighty portals o( the road to higher learning. We were a host of bright-eyed, eager, but unsophisticated freshmen, who thought we knew everything there was to be known. The sophomores soon changed our egotistical views and we set about with exceptional vigor to command their respect scholastically, athletically, and socially. Scholastically, we kept our standard high; athletically, we were strongly represented on the gridiron and basketball court. Socially, we contributed to the plays, dances, and other social activities which will long be remembered With continued persistance we passed through our sophomore and junior years, establishing a reputation for sincerity, integrity, spirit of determination, and an attitude of open-mindedness and helpfulness. Now approaches the time for us to part. We part with many friends whom we may never see again. We leave our college, but with us we take many pleasant memories. Few classes have contributed more glory to the Alma Mater. May the standards of the class of 1933 be those for future classes to hole high. As a ship is launched out bravely into the sea, so the graduating class of 33 launches its knowledge in the seas ol social, business, and professional life. May it build for character, not for fame' in the Drama of Life 216 ADVERTISING 218 - •' WE APPRECIATE The confidence reposed in us by the State Teachers College in affording us the opportunity of producing the 1933 Saxigena A Complete Plant, dedicated to the highest quality of school publications, has tried mightily to please you.

The deep shadows darken your halls, color dies. The goal we sought is won; now silver twilight covers all. Your blessings and your rich rewards we view, parting with Enlightened thoughts and nurtured powers, enlarged by thee Into this world's mute trials with broadened minds we enter. There we ll be tested, but we shall meet tasks boldly face to face. Strong hands will carry on, out beyond your guiding light; Strong armed and wisdom-bred we all shall ven ure, Out to men who seek for learning, out beyond the shifting twilight, Further than laughter goes, or tears, further than dreaming. From your guiding hand we now depart, after happy hours of toil and quest. Sad memory brings to light the friends who were so dear. Farewell, dear mother! Here's to the last four years we spent within your halls. The time has come when we must part. The golden shadows fall. Every day we spent with you is rooted deeply in our hearts, Raised are all our joyful voices; and we, who hold you dear, Remembering sunny days, turn again homeward, alone Halls that we love, mother that we love, the end is here.
