Published by the Students of the CaUfornia State Teachers College. Editor— WiUis B. Foster Business Manager — - WiUiam E. Duff FOREWORD ■ I ' HE theme of this year ' s Monocal is I am Steel. . . . This could mean a great number of things but what it does mean is that I have chosen one of the valley ' s leading industries and woven it into the makeup of the book. I chose steel because it has played a very im- portant role in the history of civilization ... as steel has progressed so has man. In this Monocal steel has been personified . . . the book has been written mainly in the first person ... as though steel, himself, had taken up his pen and written it. . . . He has shown you a picture of himself . . . his origin and development. . . . He has shown you his conception of yourself. ' ■VN- - To the Editor of the 1936 Monocal, Don Mathias, I give the credit for the theme of this book . . . He brought the idea back from the Steel exhibits at the Cleveland Centennial Exposition . . . For the art work which appears in this book I am thankful to quite a few ... to Mary Shryock and Bill Frye for the title page ... to Mrs. Mabel Staats for the pictorial presentation of the history of steel ... to Jeanne Hornbake and Bill Frye for the portraits of Dr. Steele and the Faculty ... to Valma Ropp and Nick Strychalski for the pen drawings embellishing the pages of various sections ... to Joseph Loya for the drawings appearing on the division pages. The excellent photography may be accredited to several members of the Photography Club, Wade ICipp, Thomas Emory, and Charles Gottesman. The writing may be attributed to Bertha Jane Bradley, William E. Duff, Joseph Zaffy, Bernice Smith, Mary C. Sloan, Virginia Sharpnack, Irene Mendola, Zula Bamford, Wilbur Edwards, Mary Cartwright, Michael Tichansky, Herman Preseren, and Auburn Lamb. To all who helped in the publication of the 1937 Monocal . . . Thanks! —The Editor Buried I lie until called to be the servant of man ... I am not precious gold nor am I wonder-working radium ... I am Steel. I stand ... a symbol of a civilization unsurpassed ... I am tireless . . . strong skilled beyond dreaming ... I am One of the very many iron ore pits of the Mesabi range. Iron ore is not always taken from such pits, but is often mined. This method pictured above requires the re- moval of the top-soil in order to reach the iron ore. This method can only be used where the ore is near the surface of the earth. IT I ti !aCv A,:f.n,xy v ;i .,-..N.,UM it sfi(..,Ai :;.r A blast furnace first devised by the iron workers of Catalonia in Spain. The blast of air for this furnace is produced by the huge, man con- trolled bellows at the side. Traces of furnaces such as these can be still found in our own mountains. „ the power . . . the ceaseless drive behind an Industrial age ... I have set man free. Look back, if you will . . . see how I have been subservient to you in time past. You, as a prehistoric savage, built a fire against a hill . . . after a time, small globules of glowing metal began to ap- pear . . . you were amazed ... an age of miracles had come. In Crete . . . where I first came into prominence . . . you mastered me you pounded me into spear heads I obtained food for you . . . you made The open hearth furnace ... a very slow . . . but a very thor- ough method of making steel. This is a much more modern machine than the ones previously used . . . it is automatically charged and automatically discharged. Bessemer Converter ... a very rapid process for converting iron into steel . . . Air is forced through a moUen charge of pig iron . . . the impurities present burst into flame . . . giving a most beautiful spectacle of color. me work for you . . . Look back into the the annals of time ... I helped you navi- gate . . . together we discovered new worlds ... I have carved civilization out of primitive forests ... I have furnished the ties which bind you, the human race, together. Yet you in your histories tend to connect me only with martial triumphs . . with swords . . . chariots . . . and more modern . . . machine guns . . . tanks . . and munitions plants. Remember also that I am the pen . s . the skyscraper . . . the locomotive. I save The Blast Furnace ... a massive structure . . . whose basic prin- ciples are the same as those under- lying the Catalan lorge. This fur- nace produces iron on a much larger scale than the makers of the Catalan forge had ever dreamed. The blooming mill ... is where the first working of the steel ingot takes place . . . The mill includes a pair of heavy steel rolls . . . The pressure applied by these rolls de- termines what lies ahead for the ingot. m en ' s lives ... in the hands of the surgeon ... In the hands of the soldier I kill men. . You, man, are like me in many re- spects . . . you can be smelted wrought . . . tempered . . . sharpened . . magnetized . . . broken . . welded. You are different also ... you are endowed with the capacity to think . . . But I have set you free. The slag pit . . . this is the re- mains of the iron ore . . . the im- purities . . . this is the outcast . This slag is used in the mak- ing of cement and materials for roadbeds upon which our giant of steel, the locomotive, must run. We pause here for a moment to pay trib- ute to a true teacher. One whose friendly, helpful spirit has long prevailed over our campus, and lingers even in death. Al- though he, himself is gone, death can not seVer him from our hearts or his benevolent influence from our school. Truly, Mr. Edinger believed in California and her students. May we say, then, in passing, that serv- ice, sacrifice, and helpful friendship — the mark of a true teacher and rare qualities in anyone — will always bring to our minds that man and teacher: Mr. Leland G. Edinger. The spot of spots . . . the beauty of the shade and sunlight . . . the campus in front of the President ' s home . . . blooming rhododen- dron . . . green leaves . . . the soft grass . . . the hedge lined walk . . . the scene of the annual May day exercises. ADMINISTRATION You are the administration . . . you are to man as the blacksmith is to me . . . you are the master smithy ... an artist . . . the results you pro- duce are of the most delicate nature . . . into your hands is placed crude metal . . . you work skillfully . . . slowly . . . the metal takes shape ... it is a finely tempered spring ... it needs only to be released in order that its potentialities may be realized . . . your work is complete. i ' ' ' ?? ;;;?.-: ■■ ' • - ' aT i ■ ' • ' ' ftS %i ROBERT M. STEELE President Institutions grow slowly like the oak tree. Surface growth is deter- mined not only by soil and moisture but also by the root system which holds it securely anchored against the storms which sweep the landscape. Not only do the roots hold it, they support it even the infinitesimal root hairs are the a ctive agents which take from the soil the food and moisture needed to maintain growth, health and beauty of foliage. So it is with a college. The college must be anchored deep in public esteem and confidence. Its roots must go deep into the soil of public serv- ice. Its trustees, faculty, students, and alumni all contribute to the life, growth, beauty and service of the college. The institution is really the sum total of the work, the love, the thought which enter into or center about the college, not during one year or four years, but during its life time. No act or service is without its effect. Every constructive act adds to the ring of growth and beauty which every year should show. Each incompetence, each failure to measure up to the stature of manhood or womanhood on the part of student, faculty member, or alumnus, leaves its mark, its worm hole. Scars on its trunk and limbs show where parasitic growths have sapped the strength or reputation of the college. This book is a record of the growth of one year. It is a picture of the growth ring of 1937. May the worm holes be few, may the parasites die early, and may the constructive efforts of all Californians be productive. Robert M.

JUNIOR CLASS 19 3 7 In the fall of nineteen thirty-four California was beseiged by a group of fre shmen ... as heterogeneous a group as could be found anywhere. They were the most bewildered group of students . . . attended Political Science instead of History of Civilization and never knew the difference. In time, however, they began to take shape and became an integral part of that machine known as C.S.T.C. In their second year here they all strived to become dignitaries . . . some succeeded . . . one of these the class chose as their leader . . . Leman ... he took the reins in an iron hand . . . yielding to no one . . . Led by their capable president . . . the class had a fairly successful year . . . They lost to the freshmen foot- ball team . . . placed several students in College Players major productions . . . contributed to the Debate squad . . . gave the football team such notables as . . . Naylor, Phillips, Barker, Hall, Leman, Bedogne, Sadler, Kelly . . . What more could be asked? In their third year of existence, as a class, they really began to function . . . still under the leadership of Leman . . . they spon- sored the annual Junior Prom . . . Val Garvin ' s band . . . the dec- orations in keeping with the Thanksgiving season ... all these stand out in the minds of the more socially inclined Juniors ... To those athletically inclined we remind you that the Junior class practically monopolized the football team. Even student Congress felt the pres- ence of the Junior class. Despite the heterogeneity of the class there is a bond of common devotion to the school which holds the group together in the attain- ment of greater heights. SNAPSHOTS (read from left to right) ...

SOPHOMORE CLASS 19 3 7 The freshmen who entered the portals of Cahfornia State Teachers College in nineteen thirty-five constitute the largest class who has entered the school up to the present time. Whether or not the success of this class will measure up to its size is yet to be seen. Before they had a chance to become puffed with pride ... Dr. Kriner, in an address they shall not soon forget, informed them that they were in a state educational institution and outlined what was expected of them, and that if they found it impossible to do what was expected of them they were in the wrong state institution. Spurred by Dr. Kriner ' s challenge and their own conceit the group is trying to carve its name in the annals of Vulcan history. They have made great headway . . . their female contingent has contributed heavily to the success of the Thespians . . . and we must not forget the excellent work of Dick Spellman and Jack O ' Hare in making Col- lege Players a living organization . . . Herm, Squibbs, and Zaffy have given Hammer and Tongs a much needed boost. This class seems always to be wanting to do something worthwhile . . . they are not too radical . . . nor too conservative . . . but they are progressive.

FRESHMAN CLASS $: ; 1937 One year marks the first milestone passed by the most recent group of students to enter the campus. Upon entering they were oriented by means of an enterprising and progressive sophomore class, backed by a robed tribunal . . . They bought books from sophomores which they still have found no use for ... it never occurred to them to study . . . Finally Thanks- giving rolled around . . . then freedom. Independent now of their thoughtful protectors . . . they began to show their individualism . . . four freshmen girls captured all the feminine roles in Hedda Gabler . . . these same freshmen have made Junior Players one of the most active organizations on the campus. They survived the shock of the first semester grades rather well ... and now are anxiously awaiting the advent of vacation, after which they may call themselves sophomores.

The girls gather every two weeks to munch on horse-radish sandwiches and gossip over tea. The executive hostesses are Katherine Isenberg, Pres.; Jane Painter, Sec; Jeanne Smith, Treas.; Gladys Sprowls, Representative to Congress. PHI SIGMA PI ... A national fraternity for men of outstanding scholarship in teacher training institutions . . . stiff requirements for acceptance . . . yet despite these high standards the club is composed not of book worms, but of regular fellows. . . . Initiation is one thing remembered distinctly by all new members . . . meet- ings are, as a rule, stag affairs . . . but there are times when the intellectuals break down and give the girls a break . . . they have six professional meetings each year at which prominent men discuss perplexing problems of interest to the future teacher. PI GAMMA MU . . . Historians and probably future commentators and legislators — If you wish to raise any question on history or social studies see Mr. Gilmore he ' s sponsor of this organization. Each year Pi Gamma Mu tosses a Founder ' s Day Banquet . . . this year ' s being on April twenty-second ... At their regular meetings the club discusses current topics in forum discussion. ... In this way the subject is well aired.

ORGANIZATIONS GAMMA PI CHI PHI SIGMA PI PI GAMMA MU STUDENT ALPHA PSI OMEGA COLLEGE PLAYERS JUNIOR PLAYERS ORGANIZATIONS ALPHA PSI OMEGA . . . The ultimate end of all good little thespians is Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fraternity. To become a member, the individual must wind his way through countless dramatic labyrinths — first Junior Players — then College Players finally, Success! Requirements for entrance are based on a national set of standards as well as local ones. This fraternity is one designed to give its members a professional out- look on the theatre - to instill into the teacher the ideals of the theatre so that she might carry them on to her pupils. COLLEGE PLAYERS . . . The middle step in the cHmb for dramatic success at CaU- fornia — is sponsored by Dr. Earl Blank. The organization has produced three major productions and four one-act plays during the current season quite a record for that club. At present the club is divided into four com jc;titive groups. North, South, East, and West the prize for the winners a feed at the expense of the others. Students on the campus will remember The Torchbearers Hedda Gabler — and the Mother ' s Day play, — Three Cornered Moon. JUNIOR PLAYERS . . . The first step that all hopeful dramatists must take is membership in Junior Players. Although it is rated below Alpha Psi Omega and College Players, it boasts the largest enrollment of the group. Miss Elizabeth Curry sponsors this group of aspiring actors. Quite a few of these up-and-coming thespians are more than eligible for membership in College Players. Dolly Cechman, a freshman, member of Junior Players, copped the lead in Hedda Gabler — one of the better modern dramas. Where ' s the basketball? You ' ve got ' im Bergstein. Why, Mr. O ' Hare! Santa ' s little helper. ' Taney that! Remember your public, Wally. Boy, is she serious! The Torch Bearers. Ney ' s best girl. Close that door. Wolfe, you culprit. News Spreaders.

The boys who sUp around in bath robes to see that all male creatures are safely housed lor the night . . . maintain order throughout the boy ' s dormitory . . . instigators of the Dormitory Dinner-Dance . . . arrangers of a date bureau so that all might participate in social functions . . . These snoop- ing sleuths are the guiding body of all the South Hall affairs. . . . However, they aren ' t the stuffed shirts they appear . . . We find that they are just as human as any of the species homo. TR. MEN ' S COUNCIL . . . On groping our way through the wall of smoke in the Day Men ' s room, we find the executive group holding a conference in one corner . . . It seems that an issue is about those men, who snitch 2 or 3 chairs to have an hour ' s snooze, leaving others seatless ... or with standing room only . . . The council was the main supports of the Traveling Student ' s Dance . . . Did the dirty work, so they say . . . Hope to be quartered in more suitable and larger surround- ings in the near future . . . After all, the male population is on the upgrade. Y.M.C.A. ... A unique program, initiated this year in the Y , where by a contest of some sort is held after each weekly meeting, does much to stimulate interest for the boys . . . This not only aids in establishing one of the aims of the group, Christian fellowship, but also, brings to light many unknown and unsung athletes . . . Conferences took the lime light with our representatives galloping off to Westminster . . . and in turn, representatives from Western Penna. assembled here . . . Sponsors in the persons of Staats and Salisbury, stabilize the group . . . The comfortable Y room is always filled to capacity with gangling legs and arms . . . The Y. M. ' s confabs are held every week ... to elevate the morals of said group . . . what a task! . . . Members are unlimited in number . . . but lack nothing in initiative and ability . . . The current talks procured for the meetings are of the most intellectual type . . . and valuable to everyone . . . An organization that strives to carry out its aims and ideals to their fullest capacity. ORGANIZATIONS SOUTH HALL COUNCIL TRAVELING MEN ' S COUNCIL YM.C.A. STUDENT NORTH HALL COUNCIL TRAVELING WOMEN ' S COUNCIL Y.W.C.A. ORGANIZATIONS NORTH-DIXON COUNCIL . . . With a larger number of girls this year in North and Dixon halls, this Council finds itself with quite a few problems, but they come smilin ' through with solutions to them all. Life in the dormitory is really fun, even though the girls pretend it isn ' t. That ' s the woman in them. But women know how to deal with women, and all in all, life runs pretty smoothly. Aside from helping the girls to enjoy dormitory life and keeping peace among them the Council has little else to do. TRAVELING WOMEN ' S COUNCIL ... A stranger come to the campus might wonder what on earth was meant when the Traveling Room is so frequently mentioned. It is the temporary home of the largest single unit on the campus. In it provision is made for the general welfare and comfort of each traveling woman. The council which governs this body is composed of the officers and an advisory committee chosen from the group. Like their sisters on the North-Dixon Council, the Traveling Women ' s Council strives definitely to further serious endeavor in the solution of student problems. Y.W.C.A. . . . that part of school which means spiritual leadership, wholesome con- tacts and never to be forgotten lessons learned through the friendly medium of this organization. Candy, cows, and Christmas carols are but a few of the things which bring back happy memories of Y.W. to quite a few girls on the campus. The year started with the annual Big and Little Sister party to welcome the Freshmen, and from then on the meetings were varied from informal discussions to impressive religious services. Delegates were sent to conferences to bring back helpful ideas and inspiration for future work. This club besides providing an opportunity for social cooperation and recreational possibilities is the definite answer to an undeni- able need for spiritual guidance. STUDENT HAMMER AND TONGS . . . They squint thru the key holes They pick all the locks They even know who Wears what kind of socks. It is a fact that these California news-hounds can scent a front page story more quickly than a Scotsman can a dime . . . are firm believers in the old proverb No news is worse than bad news, it ' s a tragedy! . . . Apply their Winchellian talents to gathering facts on previews of coming events, reviews of past happenings, and on other interesting news of the day . . . Balances the formalness of straight news stories with a little off-side gossip in the tattle tale, The Provinciator . . . Letters to the Editor provide a clearing house for diverse ideas on subjects of common interest . . . Sports, speakers, and shin-digs get equally clever write-ups in that all star final, the C.S.T.C. Hammer and Tongs. COUNCIL OF SCHOOL NEWSPAPER ADVISERS . . . After three semesters of report- ing on the Hammer and Tongs staff, students are admitted to the Council. The chief aim of this group is to advise and help members of the newspaper staff along the lines of writing, copy reading, and headlining. The yearly Press Conference is one of the functions of this enterprising group. Theirs is the responsibility of seeing that the Hammer and Tongs goes to press every week. MONOCAL ... In the spring a young man ' s fancy, if he is the editor of California ' s year-book, droopingly turns to thoughts far distant from love . . . for his main thought then is The Monocal must go on! . . . Barny Oldfield ' s records are cake walks compared to the race this editor ' s bewildered staff has with deadline time ... As the fateful hour approaches the chief tears his hair . . . staff mem- bers float around in a dazed manner hunting last minute inspiration . . . embryonic Michaelangelo ' s sketch with feverish rapidity . . . while the faculty advisor, Mr. Hurst, develops insomnia from Monocal nightmares . . . The Sophomore Class enjoys the fiendish pleasure of selecting next fall ' s victims . . . Individuals with coffee nerves need not apply . . . for this staff needs members with the originality of snowflakes . . . perseverance of an ant . . . and the endurance of a Dempsey.

Chess club. Consists of twelve con- scientious members held a tournament from which emerged Marshall and Ney the co-champions. The membership of this club is entirely dependent on your endurance — if you can sit immobile for two hours you will be permitted to join as a beginner. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB . . . this is one club on the campus which can truthfully point each year to at least one project in which it has had a large part that is the part the photography club plays in the building of the Monocal. . . . The photography clubbers, under the supervision of Mr. Hurst, has grown to be one of the most valu- able on the campus. ... It gives training in creative photography — gives the members a chance to participate in an activity which may become a most interesting and worthwhile hobby. MONVALEA . . . School of instruction for future bridge experts. ...

NATURE STUDY CLUB . . Birds do so have friends! Just call Dean Walker up and he ' ll refer you to the Nature Study Club. Seriously speaking, this group has met and filled a need in the appreciation side of the students who belon g to it. Hike and observations both planned and directed, make possible for them opportunities to really acquire an intimacy and understanding of Nature that the unintiated can not possibly have. Scheduled hikes have materialized regardless of the weather which, during this last year, plagued the club considerably. The hardiest bird lovers won ' t soon forget their forays into the wilds of Baby Hollow and the subsequent mishaps that befell them while fording the foaming creek. Certainly these memories will be among the pleasantest and most humorous to recall, while the opportunity to have been really able to know and appreciate Nature will be of priceless value. W.A.A. BOARD . . . Because of the never diminishing number of women participating in the extensive program of the Women ' s Athletic Association, a board was necessary to direct the policies of this group . . . the largest extra-curricular organization on the campus . Women, women everywhere and not a man in sight, sighed an observant feminine, non-participating bystander on one of the W.A.A. ' s several Play Days. This, the keynote of the organization, stresses their complete independ- ence of male direction and correction. The Tarzannas go in for more than the gentle arts of ladies . . . when. The representative sextet can put the basketball in its place; the female hockey players swing a business like wicket: and Robin Hood and his merry men had noth- ing on the women ' s archery ensemble. Tennis, hiking, volleyball, baseball and even ping-pong are included among the activities that these women undertake. With only the approval of the Athletic Council barring their complete and final dictates, the W.A.A. Board directs the athletic policies of this group exclusively.

All the baskets which have been whisked around the campus, giving out luscious aromas of home-made fudge, pea- nuts, or hot-dogs are the results of the strenuous efforts of these striving musicians. Once these females get going there ' s no stopping them they ' re not satisfied until every wallet is flat. Their interests are, however, not all monetary they pre- sented two very successful concerts the first introduced June Howe to the musical world. . . .

The club shares it ' s projects with the student body they have already completed an eight-inch reflecting telescope. They are trying to establish an amateur radio station on the campus more power to them. GEOGRAPHY CLUB . . . this is an excellent club for anyone interested in the teaching of geography their projects prove invaluable to the teacher in service. The main project this year was the beginning of a district survey map, remapping California borough, showing land utilization. Several field trips were taken in the fall, others planned for spring. The club meetings themselves proved most outstanding, with special guest speakers, including Mrs. Grimes, Mrs. Gilland, and Mr. Bugelli. The Geography Club also sponsored an interesting chapel program, with Mr. J. F. Roberts, district county superintendent, as guest speaker. DEBATE CLUB . . . Sixteen people who are sent out into the great wide world to plead either for or against minimum wage and maximum hour legislation. Being as good on the affirmative as they are on the negative they never do decide anything to their own satisfaction not even the date for their banquet. The club represented California in New York, Ohio, and West Virginia this year they have no decision debates — in this way the debater is not trying to win he is trying to develop his speech, his organization and presentation of material — and is in the end - becoming cultured.

The Vulcan emerged from the scrimmage successfully. A season successful not in the matter of wins or losses, but in fine sportsmanship, superior cooperation, and superb character building ability. Whether against superior foes or weaker adversaries, the team played its best. As usual the team played a far more commendable game than any score indicates. A last minute win turns rain into sunshine at Millersville. Clever passing defeated the powerful Edinboro eleven. A little sermon by Coach Steers makes the squad raging enough to top Clarion. Dad watches the game in the rain. The boys are muddy from head to foot. Dad hopes against hope for a win. Fairmont held; for a 0-0 tie. The Black and Red visit Indiana. Outpass the Indians. Make more first downs, but lose. A state championship Lock Haven team whips the Vulcans. The worst ever suffered was at the hands of Shippensburg. A cold, chilly rain helped Slippery Rock win the final of the season. Leman ' s everlasting pepsodent smile mocked his foes . . . Kuhn ' s back slapping fight never ceased . . .

Loncaric is cred- ited with writing more letters on football trips than Mae West re- ceives in her fan mail . . . Bud Webber ' s managerial hurry-up calls helped the coach no little bit . . . These and many more similar characteristics gave to California a spirited eleven that never let down. Once the Steermen got started nothing broke their undaunted spirit. However, much more powerful foes were met by the Red and Black than what they really could cope with successfully . . . De- VULCAN ' S spite their somewhat bad beatings administered them, the team showed pluck, courage, and stamina. They were an appreciative group of players . . . appreciated Coach Steers for his ability in handling the team . . . appreciated their loyal supporters ... if any. But regardless of what the outcome may be in any particular game, the students know that the fighting spirit is achieved only through a loyal feeling for California and not for any personal gain through subsidized athletics. Only such spirit and support can satisfy any student body ... it m.akes coaching easier . . . makes body beatings and bruises easier to take. This year ' s Vulcans are no exception ... In every sense they have lived up to those age old traditions dear to California A season successful not in the matter of wins or losses, but in fine sportsmanship, superior cooperation, and superb character building ability.
