I dedication With deep and heartfelt pride we dedicate the 1947 Saxigena to Coach N. Kerr Thompson, now retired. Coach, a local boy, began coaching Green and White teams in 1913. He is a graduate of Ursinus College and held a coaching position there for a short time. After seeing a year’s service in World War I, Coach again took up his duties as mentor at Slippery Rock and had charge of local teams from that time until 1946, when he retired as Coach and began tapering off by teaching Mathematics at the high school. Coach has compiled an enviable record both of team prowess and of respect and admiration from his students and his contemporaries. He has become almost a fixed part of any athletic event on campus, and a row of athletes seems incomplete if he is not seated among them on the bench. His wise sagacity has probably won more games than can be counted. Although he is no longer Coach he is still looked to for advice and encouragement by Mr. Storcr and the boys when they come up against something really tough. To say, however, that we are dedicating our Saxigena to him merely because he was a great coach, would be a gross understatement. Coach N. Kerr Thompson has become more than that. He has become almost a symbol of the spirit of Slippery Rock. We find in him all the traits for which we as a school strive. Therefore we think it most fitting that this tribute be paid. To Coach Thompson goes our admiration and best wishes as he goes on his way.

In Recognition Mr. Joseph K. Glaspey, until last June, superintendent of grounds and buildings, is a tall, silent, bespcckled man with a ready smile. Many of the shrubs and trees on campus may be attributed to his planning and care. May we take this opportunity to voice our appreciation and to wish him much joy ancj pcace in the years to come. The entering freshman of 1946 missed Mr Howard L. Headland, a someone the upperclassmen and the graduates of Slippery Rock will enjoy remembering for a long time. Mr. Headland, with his penny-box, joined our college faculty in 1914 and became a member of the history and social studies department in 1924, in which capacity he served until August, 1946, when he moved to Florida, leaving his mark here in so many ways. We would like to say thanks”.
