£eni i ClaM- Dear Dr. Weisenfluh, Yes . . . Our reverie is a reality. Aha—we are now struggling for existence at the Training School. Little did we know the heaven of being a student, but believe me we sure know now as we reminisce on this Saturday—the day of days. 0i4 i Seni i leaded President V. President Secretary Treasurer Margaret Martin Madolyn Biery Jean Powell I.averne Griffith As Freshman we faintly recall long lines of students eagerly waiting to learn they couldn’t sing, and that they had a slight lisp which called for a visit to Miss McClelland—and it surely did take a lot-of-paper” to make our starry sky for the never-to-be-forgotten Starlight Cruise . We sailed on into our Sophomore year, but our voyage was darkened by hovering clouds of war.—Yes. George Hornickcl and Patsy Delites gave their all. Now in '45 we arc beginning to see the Silver Lining that Mac, Blair. Rick and Dennis are struggling for in the Marines; and the true blue water that Cass, Joe Bower, Ray Ashcom, Tom T., Jack Brooks and Gene West are sailing upon. With Bill Held in the air, and Ronny Headland, Scotty Keister, Johnny Leiver, Tom Green, Art Wilson, Bert Alper and Bob Sinclair on the land—our hopes are filled with confidence. As Juniors we were all girls with Pat as our last hope.— (poor Marion)—Our hats are off to P.L. and the year-book staff for the Saxigena of 1944. It came all too soon—lesson plans, conferences, January Commencement, Senior Banquet, the memorable Class Day, and the grand finale with the proud parents seated in the Chapel. Thank you Dr. Weisenfluh for being our navigator—our guiding star. Good-by Slippery Rock, best of luck always, Sincerely, The Seniors

Here students do their practice teaching with the aid of supervisors and critics who help them in their teaching problems. They tell us what points are best in our teaching and show us some that are not so good. They offer new suggestions for our betterment. We, as college students and future teachers, consider it a privilege to have the Laboratory School. It creates a background for us, giving us a clear pattern of what our future actually holds in the teaching profession.
