The 1943 Saxigena staff has endeavored to portray Slippery Rock—all out—for Victory. With our boys fighting in the battle fields of the world, it would be misleading to picture Slippery Rock as usual. This year we can triumphantly picture S. R. plus—the victorious spirit in war as well as on the football field. The war has changed our way of living—we use less sugar and coffee—cadets share our classrooms and dining hall—we spend time in air raid shelters—we knit, and write many letters to servicemen—the stars on our service Hag become more and more numerous! In this volume we would like to show some of the changes at S. R. and yet to picture the relatively permanent things on our campus as well. So to our fellow students at Slippery Rock we present this Saxigena for your pleasure. In the years to come we hope that through this book, you will recall how our college mobilized its activities to include a wartime program, and yet sacrificed few of our time-honored practices and traditions. And still May you, our Alma Mater, Shed your light abroad As your loyal sons and daughters Live for you and God. fyoAeiaosid
