Slippery Rock University - Saxigena Yearbook (Slippery Rock, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1960 volume:

THE SAXIGENA 1910 1960 STATE COLLEdE SLIPPERY ROCK PENNSYLVANIA Foreword In 1910. the first Slippery Rock yearbook, the Ananmisis, was published by the class of 1910. The Ananmisis measured a mere 5% inches by 9 4 inches. Fifty years later the class of I960 presents the 1960 Saxigena. The I960 Saxigena measures 8 4 inches by 11 inches. Through the past fifty years more than just the size of the yearbook has changed. New buildings have been built, enrollment has increased twelve times, the length of time required to receive a degree has changed from 3 to 4 years, the name of the school has been changed twice from Normal School to State Teachers College and most recently to State College, and many other advancements have been made. Yet with the innumerable changes which have occurcd at Slippery Rock, the foreword to the 1910 Ananmisis is as true today as it was fifty years ago. To induce fond recollections, to renew old acquaintances, to furnish amusements. interest, and information for our friends and our posterity, to extend the influence of our Alma Mater, to make lasting the ties of friendship of 1910, and to gather, file, and preserve the activities of a busy year in these few pages has been our constant aim. We sincerely trust that everything herein will be taken in the spirit of good fellowship, and that this book may do much to maintain and promote the spirit of Old Normal. To the class of 1910 and their Ananmisis the 1960 50th anniversary Saxigena is respectfully dedicated. 2 Table of Contents Faculty and Administration Student Life Classes Organisations 3 Athletics and mm W:;-' '■y D.

You also know that in some way as a teacher and citizen you will have an opportunity to contribute to our continuing strength and integrity. It is our earnest hope that you will make the most of this opportunity.

It was moving day at Slippery Rock. The men, at long last, were going to newly-completed Patterson Hall. First there was a great pounding on the dining hall doors. It was too early for the dining hall to be opened, but the men wanted breakfast before tackling the job of moving. After this racket quieted down and the girls had settled back to sleep, they were awakened again by the sounds of furniture being pushed and pulled over the pavement. Shouts and cries rent the air as the procession progressed. The men accomplished their migration in half a day. When this was finished, it was time for the women to take over. Long lines moved the possessions of the new residents of South Hall from their old domicile—North Hall. Then, with brooms and mops the girls commenced cleaning. When the dust settled, the men were in Patterson Hall; the women were in South Hall, and everyone was glad that moving day was over. Girls move in while boys move out of South Hall. John Duff confers with Mr. Evans about a moving problem. Girls struggle with new mattresses for South Hall. A procession of belongings moves from North Hall to South Hall. 25 Mattresses fly out the second story window in South Hall as the easiest means of transporting them is found. 26 Two new Patterson Hall residents begin the long trek to their new home. Trucks arc loaded for the journey to Patterson Hall. Room for any more? Assemblies The assemblies which are held in East Gym throughout the year are prepared for the Slippery Rock students by the Assembly Committee sponsored by Dr. Robert Duncan. The committee attempts to bring to the campus some of the best entertainment and speakers that are available. Some of the people who have appeared on the Slippery Rock Campus during the past year were the Honorable Hugh Scott, Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, and Dr. Charles Jones who spoke on “Hypnosis in Medicine.” In the fields of drama, art, and education, the college was host to Marcel Hillairc, a French actor, and Vincent Price, the noted American actor and art critic. Mr. Price spoke to the assembly of the three great Americans: Whistler, Whitman, and Tennessee Williams. John Ciardi, poet, critic, and professor at Rutgers University, spoke to a large audience on the meaning of poetry. Three musical groups appeared on campus: the Du-quesne University Tamburitzans, the Pittsburgh Sym-phonette, and the Ed in boro State College Choir. Vance Packard, the author of books pertaining to social status, closed the assembly program for the year. Vincent Price stresses a point. 28 The Duqucsnc Tamburitzans perform the bottle dance. Vincent Price chats with Kay Whipkey at the reception in North Hall. The TamburitzanS perform a lively folk dance. Margie Banks is assisted to her scat by John Ciardi after her introduction of him. 30 Saturday Dances Saturday nights at Slippery Rock are spent at the Roxy or a basketball game—followed by the usual gym dance. West Gym now is used as a larger, but less adequate recreational area for the students. The dance music consists of the latest pop-tunes— both slow and jump. On special occasions Zack, Bruno, and John’s combo—the Rock-Aires—give their wonderful arrangements of well-liked favorites. The usual couples can be seen floating about while new couples are the talk of the night. The Saturday dance is a good place to meet new people and enjoy old acquaintances. After an evening of dancing and talking, the lights come on; it’s time to go back to the dorm and discuss the night’s excitement or disappointment. Slippery Rock goes beat. A typical Saturday dance. Co-Ed Recreation Anyone for volleyball, basketball, handball, gymnastics, or swimming? Students and faculty members have the opportunity to participate in any or all of these physical activities Saturday afternoon at Student Government’s Co-Ed Recreation program. Judy Hlivka and Bob Girty, who arc the co-chairmen, describe this annual leisure-time program as, “A lot of fun. non-competitive, and offering something for everybody on campus.” This aptly describes the program they have set up. The gymnasiums are filled with guys and girls playing volleyball or basketball or bouncing merrily on the trampoline in West Gym. The facilities available include both the East and West Gyms, the handball court, and the swimming pool. Members of the senior recreation class help supervise activities and setup equipment. In conjunction with Co-Ed Recreation, members of the class will be taking turns life guarding, officiating, and generally overseeing the activities. Volleyball and swimming seem to be the most popular activities for the approximately three-hundred students who participate each weekend. So. whether the students are shooting the basketball into the bucket for two points, spiking the volleyball for a decisive point, or trying a I % somersault off the diving board, you can be sure they're having a good time during this planned Co-Ed Recreation program. Judy Hlivka and Bob Girty discuss Co-Ed Recreation plans. A variety of gymnastic activities show in West Gym. 32 Skip DelGreco helps Marcic Haynos do a head stand. 33 Action in women's basketball. Joan Hineman gets thrown in the pool Joe Fleming tries a back somersault 34 Timmy Wilson grabs a rebound for the skins A Peterson docs a somersault olT the board Women's basketball is highlighted by a futile attempt to block a lay-up 35 Lounge What would Slippery Rock do without North Hall lounge? This is a meeting place where girls meets boy, dates arc planned, meetings, teas, and frequent singing around the piano occur. It’s our Grand Central Station after dinner when everyone gathers to socialize and have fun. Many riotous pajama parties have rocked the walls. Is it possible we can also credit passing of tests to study dates in here? The most recent and attractive additions to North Hall lounge are the oil paintings which have contributed immensely to a warm and cultural atmosphere. There, a great variety of artistry is sure to please the tastes of everyone. No matter how much North Hall lounge ages, the many, many students who have enjoyed themselves there will always keep North Hall lounge in their fondest memories. It is truly an example of pleasure and atmosphere which makes the routine of study less boring and life at Slippery Rock more congenial. Need any help? Couples relax in the lounge. 36 37 38 Intramurals Intramural action. This year’s intramural program was set up under the direction of Mr. Mcisc. The program consisted of football, basketball, bowling, handball, wrestling and softball. In the major sports two and sometimes three divisions were needed because of the large number of teams participating. Eliminations were played between the divisions and the winners were declared the champs. Even through Leslie's Old Maids were the powerhouse in the league a good time was had by all. Intramural kcglcrs roll. 39 Schakc drives in. Co-Ed Week Boys Beware! Coed Week is Big Affair!” These were the headlines in the ROCKET announcing a full week” of fun and frolic as the girls turned the tables and asked the boys for the dates. A dress-alike party at Patterson Hall on Wednesday got the week off to a rousing start. The Variety Show, with “Sister Brom” as M.C. and the Grill dance were held on Thursday. The Mardi Gras, a yearly event, was Friday’s program. Saturday was “sports day” as many enjoyed the Coed Recreation in the afternoon and the migration to Grove City for the basketball game in the evening. At the dance afterwards, the Coed King was to be crowned. Due to an injury, Ed McFarlanc, Coed King, could not come to the dance, so Coed Week Chairman, Nancy Johnston, decided to take the dance to him. A second migration took place then as the couples went to Patterson Hall where Ed was crowned. Open House was held Sunday evening at Patterson Hall and afterwards everyone headed for the Grill. But as all good things must end, once again Coed Week was brought to a memorable close with the semi-formal dance on Monday night.

These arc questions and remarks everyone at Slippery Rock is acquainted with, and oddly enough they are heard most often at one particular place. This place is the general meeting place for those who want to play cards, have a study break, get a snack or cup of coffee, while away time between classes, meet the gang, or talk. It s the spot to laugh, hear the latest hits, and socialize. The place is known by all as the “Grill.” Faculty members and students alike become part of the crowd at 10:00 in the morning when it’s “grill time. This is the hour when every booth is filled with students sipping their coffee and eating one of “Hon’s” donuts. “May I have this dance?” You’re certain to hear this question repeated many times on a Thursday night at the Grill. This is the night for all co-ed’s to hob nob at the Grill for an evening of “cha cha's,” “jumps,” and “slow dances. So. whether it’s a date, breakfast, or break everyone will agree, The Grill’s the place to go.” Gayle Paulic and John Lisanti swing at a Grill Dance. 47 Mr. Shcllgrcn and Mr. Dresden also enjoy a morning coffee break. Gar Jones surveys the scene Josephine Grime. Mon Stephenson and Miriam Ricscnman clear the grill after a busy evening i 48 It must be interesting CATHERINE L. McGRATH, Keister, Pa.

Nancy Zumpe: 5tr.. Pal Gcnslcr; Hist., Jane Parker. Kappa Delta Pi is an honorary education fraternity which was founded in 1911. The main purpose of Kappa Delta Pi is to encourage high professional, intellectual, and personal standards. It also recognizes unique contributions to education; therefore, its membership includes those who the fraternity feels have exhibited these qualities. The Slippery Rock chapter of Kappa Delta Pi is Delta Tau and was started at the college in 1938. One of the first functions of the fraternity was to initiate new members. Dr. Morrone, who is the advisor of the organization, was initiated this year as he is a new teacher here. The next activity of Kappa Delta Pi was a banquet held at the Village Inn in Harlansburg. Dr. Wicand spoke at this dinner. In February. Kappa Delta Pi held a tea for the faculty and those students who have shown outstanding academic accomplishments. Teachers and students met and talked in an informal atmosphere. Many felt that the fraternity, through a lack of an advisor, was not doing very well. But since Dr. Morrone has become a member, the organization has increased its scope. As Jim McConnell, our president, expresses it. “Kappa Delta Pi has had a slow beginning this year due to the absence of an advisor. However, this downsliding was quickly reversed by the influence of Dr. Victor Morrone, the new advisor. Due mainly to his personal guidance and willingness to help, Kappa Delta Pi is now substantially on its feet.” SIGMA TAU DELTA — Pres.. Margie Banks: Vice-Pres.. Jon (Juinlisk; Sec..

Sigma Tau Delta “seeks to stimulate a desire on the part of its members to express life in terms of truth and beauty, and to gain a first hand acquaintance of the chief literary masterpieces of our language. It endeavors to stimulate an achievement by providing the reward of membership and congenial association with persons of like aspirations. In accordance with the expectations of the society, each member must bear in mind the national motto “Sincerity. Truth. Design. This year under the sponsorship of Mr. Hawley.

Forty-two women physical education majors comprise its membership. Membership is limited to those persons who show outstanding ability in the field of physical education and maintain a required quality point average. The purpose of Delta Psi Kappa is to recognize outstanding leaders in the physical education curriculum and further professional attitude and cooperation in the teaching profession. The personal qualities include followership, personal appearance, dependability, and honesty. Founder’s Day is an annual acknowledgement of the thirteen founders who formulated Delta Psi Kappa on October 23, 1916, in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is a birthday celebration commemorating the origin of Delta Psi Kappa. The Alpha Phi Chapter was formulated on Slippery Rock’s campus on March 10, 1956, when the first corps of officers and members was installed. Since that time we have been growing and expanding in our purposes. Professional meetings arc held the first and third Thursdays of each month in the Delta Psi Kappa room in West Gym. Guest speakers present their ideas on various aspects of physical education, its program, and objectives. This helps the members to better their professional outlook and attitudes. Every Wednesday evening this organization undertakes the project of selling sandwiches and doughnuts in North Hall. This money-making project contributes to the financing of an annual play day for high school students around the Pittsburgh and local areas. A greatly anticipated banquet is held each year for all members and invited guests. In addition to this Alpha Phi sends delegates to their National Biennial Convention. This year the chosen representatives were fortunate in going to Miami Springs, Florida. The purpose of these conventions is to unify all thirty chapters throughout the United States and to promote the physical education objectives for better understanding and instruction. 84 Alpha Phi Omega is a National Service Fraternity.

What the Green and White Band lacks in size, they make up for in enthusiasm. No Friday-evening pep assembly on the front lawn could ever get along without them. Can we ever forget the thrill of singing as the band plays “Cheer, Cheer for Slippery Rock, after a touchdown at the Saturday games? When things aren’t looking too bright, the players appreciate the spark that the band sets to both them and the crowd. When football season ends, the band seems to fade from the picture. Actually, they continue with regular Monday and Thursday evening rehearsals at 6:00; but practice is now indoors and the music is of a different type. This lime is spent in preparation for the Spring Concert—given this year on March 15 in East Gymnasium. Except for a few parades in the Slippery Rock vicinity, this is the final appearance of the band for the school year. Work doesn’t end for Mr. Baker, the director; he must begin working out plans that might attract some of the incoming freshmen to the band. He also travelled to Philadelphia with three of the band members who were selected to attend the Intercollegiate Band Festival at Drcxcl Institute. Representing Slippery Rock at this Festival were Cecille Holmes, clarinet: Carole Falkncr, French horn; and Stan Gosccwski, baritone saxophone. Members of the band must “try-out” individually with Mr. Baker. There are no requirements as to years of study and experience. 93 CHOIR—Pres., Annie Harper; Vice-Pres., Dick Meredith; Sec., Jacque Bender: Trcas., Mary Jo Fox; Director, Mr. Simms. The fine programs and concerts presented by the Slippery Rock College Choir this year arc largely the result of the excellent leadership of its conductors. Mr. Dwight Baker and Mr. Edward Simms. Under Mr. Dwight Baker’s guidance in first semester, the Choir presented a lovely Christmas program with both religious and gay songs and carols. Mr. Baker deserves a large vote of thanks from the Choir and the entire student body for his work with the Choir for the past year and a half. During the second semester, Mr. Edward Simms joined the music staff at Slippery Rock. He formerly taught at Clarion. Pa. where he was on the staff for six years. Mr. Simms directed the Choir in a few inspirational songs at the dedication ceremonies of the new Emma Guffey Miller Memorial Auditorium. The Choir also presented an unusual and beautiful Easter Program for the inspiration and enjoyment of the student body. In May, the College Choir presented the annual Spring Concert of popular songs, and shortly after, they traveled to Clarion State College to present the same selections. Membership in the College Choir is determined by individual try outs which are judged on several aspects of musical abilities. A set number of absences from rehearsals is permitted, and. based on the member’s interest, contribution, and attendance in the Choir, award pins are given to many members each year. 94 MEN'S GLEE CLUB STRING ENSEMBLE 95 iV l ELEMENTARY MIXED CHORUS Director, Mr. Swope.

Then the arduous task of setting up the schedule for underclass pictures and identifying and laying out these pictures. When these were sent to the publisher, attention was turned to the main body of the book. After many hours of work taking and identifying pictures, writing captions and write-ups, and typing, the book was finally completed. On March 14, the final product was sent to Win, J. Keller Inc. for publication. For the stafT the year culminated with a trip to Buffalo to read the proof for the book. The advisor for the yearbook is Mr. James W. McKay. 102 VARSITY CLUB—Pres., Bob Girty; Vice-pres., Bob Moore; Sec., Ken Hildcbran; Treas., Tom Doldc; Sponsor, Mr. Rose. “Programs, Hot Dogs, Get your tickets for an ‘Evening in Paris’ yet?, Going to the banquet? , these words were the slang of this year’s Varsity Club. The Varsity Club is the organization on campus primarily interested in the recognition of men who participate in varsity athletics. These athletes arc given jackets after they have earned two varsity letters, have reached junior hours, and have worked a specified number of hours for the Varsity Club. Money for jackets is raised through the sale of concessions and programs at home football games, and a formal dance. The club also holds an all-sports banquet to honor the coaches and participants of varsity athletics.

The Student Government Association serves as the central authority and coordinator of student co-curricular activities on the campus. Its major functions arc carried out through the financial arm called Co-Operative Activities and the legislative arm called Student Council. Council is composed of twenty-five members elected directly by the students, one member representing each curriculum and class, with special members representing the interests of town and commuting students. The ex-officio members include the presidents of the classes and the housccouncils and the officers of the council. The Council, in its regular meetings, plans the various special activities, which are carried out through committees, chartered campus clubs, and discusses the problems met in carrying out these plans. Co-operative Activities collects fees from the students and budgets the money to provide services to the student body. Assemblies, athletics, and other groups in intcrscholastic competition representing the College arc mainly financed by the program. Rounding out these services arc the College Bookstore, the Student Grill, vending machines, the Student Station Wagon, and recreational facilities in the Student Hut which has been out of use this year due to a fire.

FOOTBALL TEAM ATHLETICS 1 BASEBALL TEAM BOY S BASKETBALL Football In his first year at Slippery Rock coach Charles Godlasky produced a football team full of fight and determination. Led by Captains Tomko and Doldc, the Rockets finished the season with a 2 and 6 record. Despite the record the Rockets possessed one of the most rugged lines in the entire State Teachers College Conference. A porous pass defense and injuries to key backs like Belich and Snyder, however, was the difference between a winning and losing season.

Coach Egli’s tankmen paddled their way to an eleven and two record that included first place in the Penn-Ohio Championship. Co-captained by Bill McGinnis and Bill Kramer, this year’s squad will long be remembered for its record breaking activities. As a team the mermen established or broke twenty-eight records. Most of these were broken by McGinnis and Madden, but Bob Peterson holds the distinction of breaking a school record that had remained untouched since 1947 —the 60 yard free style record.
