MRS. MARY McCANDLESS. Assistant Dean of Women Sweet and motherly . . . doesn’t that just describe her perfectly? We girls all love her for her sincere, earnest ways, her lovely manner, her concern over our welfare. Surely no one will stand out more clearly in our memories of Slippery Rock than this beloved, white-haired lady, who has a henre big enough to include us all. MISS BERNICE SPARGO. School Nurse Of course this pert little lady in the crisp white uniform needs no introduction, or, rather, you might say that not many of us need an introduction to her. She patiently treats us for everything from the sniffles to the pink eye. There’s no denying, she's a grand person and a wonderful friend to us ail. i MISS NELL B. WOODS. Dietitian What a job! To find the nearest ways to our hearts through our fussy, spoiled stomachs! None of us could envy Miss Woods the difficult position which she handles so nicely. Although we’ve wished that, as far as meals are concerned, every day could be Sunday, how long could her budget survive at the mercy of the monstrous appetites we display then? Page Thirteen

Registrar Gosh, but it’s disconcerting to have a person know more about you than you ever realized you knew about yourself! That's just how you feel the first time you meet Miss McKay, but before long you find yourself constantly turning to her to straighten you out. She'd go to no end of trouble to help you solve your problems. A true friend to all of us, she represents Slippery Rock at its best. Paft Twelve

2)4. floJut !. . . P eAldent I o (lie C lass of 1942 You are about to enter upon the profession of teaching. 1 am sure that what you most desire is success. Of course, you will desire praise, approbation, promotion, more remuneration as the years go by—all of us do. However, we must realize that since the world began, success has never been handed out to men, but it has been earned by perseverance, work, energy, patience, and singleness of purpose. The meaning of success needs some definition. It surely docs not mean the winning of honors—this is fame. It does mean the giving of unselfish service, of amassing of great fortune, although this frequently follows. It does not mean the leaving the world a little better for our having lived in it, of adding a little to the sum total of happiness. When applied to teaching it means that wc must build upon a spiritual, not a materialistic, basis. In no calling is there greater opportunity to attain success than in teaching. As a true teacher you must be in harmony with God and His laws, possess an honest purpose, and have a serene mental attitude. Success is a progressive quality. It comes by inches and not by leaps and bounds. You must continue to grow and accomplish something, and that something in the form of work. And now, hoping that you will have a rich life in the field of education, and that you may win success in the truest sense of the word, I bid you Godspeed. John A. Entz Page Four tern
