Neagley, a man whose every action reflects the fine traditions and ideals of our chosen profession. More- over, his popularity with the students is unquestioned. We take off our hats to a teacher and a man; or, to use the vernacular: a square guy. ( 0 L - -iL.y THE 1938 MONOCAL Herman Preseren Editor Joseph Zaffy Business Manager To the Junior Class falls the burden of editing the yearbook, and to the Sophomore Class falls the pleasure of choosing the editor. . . . Yet putting out the Monocal is not such a burden as some would have us believe. . . . The thrill of building a book far overweighs any editorial troubles which may and do arise. ... It is really a year ' s work, but the experience is worth it.

FOREWORD . . . Many believe and see tradition as possessed of peculiar sanctity and respectability handed down from generation to generation and strict- ly conform to it; but at California tradition is used as a source of reference from which an additional insight into the present is gained. Although the present may be conditioned by the past, yet it doesn ' t necessarily mean that it is restricted to the duplication of the past Noss Demonstration in the winter . . . Old Main . . .

No other place around has the same intriguing and impressive beauty as does this home; comfortable, tasteful, humble in every sense of the word; but words alone can never describe the true tradition of this beautiful spot. NORTH HALL The home of Dean Bernstorf, Mrs. Brown, the dormitory, and the traveUng girls. Redecorated recently to make it more beautiful and more cheerful. The Colonial Room, always remem- bered for its Sunday gatherings, and the traveling room, where tired commuting girls may rest and study. 11 a 2L :t- g i l- t, i ' -« -:g;| T DRIVEWAY The driveway, beautifully green in the spring and summer, golden in the fall and snow white in the winter. A sigh of relief to every traveling student when this spot is reached on hard, wintery days.

The Science building has been inactive during the past year due to reconstruction. Will probably be the most beautiful after completion. The entrance to the library where a majority of the commuters en- ter to do their studying. 13 PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE For more than sixty years California has been an institution de- voted to the education of teachers for the pubUc schools of Penn- sylvania. It has never aspired to change this fundamental purpose. It has never desired to engage in educational work outside the field of teacher education. California ' s traditions have been deeply rooted in the welfare of school children, the citizens of tomorrow. It has sought to make that tomorrow better than today. With changing conditions and new needs, curriculums have changed and organizations have been adapted to meet more effec- tively the new demands. Throughout the history of the State Teach- ers College at California it has consistently maintained a tradition of friendly helpfulness — faculty and student body working together in a spirit of mutual esteem and cooperation. California places character as the cornerstone of citizenship and as the first element of fitness for teaching. Worth is placed above respectability and refinement above fashion. California strives to play its full part in providing for every schoolroom a competent teacher — but more than a teacher — a cultured, refined, well informed individual, interested in people, interesting to people, and a citizen who will leave to posterity his community better than he found it. —Robert M. Steele 14 DR. ROBERT M. STEELE FACULTY . . . As a whole, the facuhy at California from its earliest beginning has maintained an attitude of broadmindedness towards students and education.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF A FRIEND In special remembrance we devote this space to a teacher, advisor, and friend, Dr. Harry L. Kriner. He is a firm believer and advocate of extra-curricular activi- ties and athletics and had a tremendous amount of influence in setting up the traditional aspects of these two phases at Cali- fornia since he first arrived. Dr. Kriner came to California in 1925 and remained until the beginning of the last semester of 1938 when he was appointed as assistant chief of the division of certification in the State Department of Public Instruction. To those who have known him during the past year and pre- viously he will always remain respected and wish him all the success of the world in whatever future work he may choose to undertake. 27 CLASSES . . . Modern times have taken away the student who traveled on horseback and studied his lesson at the same time, and in its place has put the modern automobile and train com- muter. California has always been known for its large commuting body, but despite this fact it has graduated thousands of students who were continually know n for their fine A night ' s labor ...

It has lifted many of the poor and unclassified and helped them to a successful living. California can be proud of the fact that she has graduated many students who have made a name for themselves in this world. Integrity, ambition, and a willingness of heart have always been noteworthy traditions of Califor- nia students. What ' s over there, girls? . . . Watching a steam shovel before class takes up ... A semester ' s work a dining room table . . . On their way to some fun . . . Time out for a photographer ... In the woodshop . . . Cook setting type ... A mirage or are there three legs? . . . Just a bit of night work 29 THE SENIORS ACCOMPLISH . . . their end. With a cloak of dignity, a diploma underneath their arm, and a degree bestowed upon their heads the Seniors terminate their four years of work and play, with a sigh of reUei and contentment. This may be a history of their college life, but their real history begins when each individual enters the world and makes his own choice of the various activities of life. This class has had more than its share of participants in football, basketball, student government, representative students, and romance. The impressions and inspirations received at California wi]l always be remembered by this out- going group of young men and women. The Seniors may ever cherish fond memories of a successful Junior Prom and Senior Ball, of Marshall ' s puns, of Bradley ' s gab, of Renstrom ' s originality, of Buvall ' s nonchalance and gift of dress, and of Leman ' s famous derby. With dignity will they graduate; with enthusiasm and high hopes will they seek their positions in the complicated world of today; and with enjoyment they may accomplish their goals. C.S.T.C. salutes you Seniors with its fondest farewell.

Besides that distinction, the class is known for its unusual amount of talent: leaders, and campus personalities. Having begun their political careers with a freshman campaign, they continued their flair for politics with a sensational Junior election. The achievements of the Junior Class, however, do not stop with politics. If one delves into other types of activities, one will find that a Junior will be at least partially responsible for their success. This Junior Class has given us most of our Thespians, a swell swing Prom, Linden ' s socks, McCoUum ' s versatility, Edwards ' Provinciator, Kuhn ' s Latrobe Swing, Zaffy ' s publicity hounding, and Sloan ' s continued honor as the most representative girl.

Entering the second year of college life these green Freshmen of yesterday become proud holders of the coveted title, Sopho- mores. They lose their former shyness, become engaged and reaUy adapted to the college and contribute notably. Their feats are too numerous to be mentioned here, but a glance at other sections of this book will show that as a whole the class lived up to the fine promise they had as Freshmen. At their annual election Paul Varner was elected to lead the group for the year with Willis Barkley, Mary Watson, and loseph Blair chosen as his right hand helpers. Their good ship, Sophomore Hop anchored in Herron HaU with Skipper Bates and his syncopating mates providing tuneful rhythms to the Columbus Day dancers. Bodnar ' s wondrous orbs, Tichansky ' s one-man sport page, Madden ' s shift system, Kudlik ' s floor ability, Cartwright ' s smile, O ' Brien ' s wit, and active Industrial Arts boys contributed to the coUege glory and honor. Having completed the half-way mark in their college careers, the Sopho- mores are ready to delve into the mysteries of their upper class intellectuals. , } ' 58 PRIMARY INTERMEDIATE INDUSTRIAL ART SECONDARY 59 Behind the bars Off to work Hunting nature South Hall lollopy ' Sophomore Hop Rhvthm Makers The Deerslayer Going Home, Marie?

The new-comers were introduced to their bigger brothers and sisters at the College Mixer in the form of a country carnival and square dance. Later, the officers were elected and Dr. Staats was chosen as their chief advisor and friend. Socially the Freshmen tried to imitate their upperclassmen by staging the traditional Freshman Frolic, and successfully they did with Frank Lombardo ' s Orchestra swinging Valentine tunes. Perhaps Freshmen are green, but what good is a school without them? . . . Without their convict haircuts, Tannehill ' s sage advice, Butler ' s deep basso profundo, another Yarnall, Bebo of basketball and football fame, or the other pleasing personalities?

Over thirty active organizations have origi- nated directly or indirectly from the few original literary societies that functioned on the California campus years ago. They may be classified as extra-class activities, but in reality they are a definite and fundamental part of each student ' s orientation to college hfe. Sheriff Spellman waits . . .

Each student voted for must be considered on the basis of personality, scholarship, and integrity. . . . Five students, three girls and two boys are then selected from this upper twrenty and offered a four-day sojourn in New York City. . . . While there they attend a convention of the Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for teachers, an organization founded by Dr. Ambrose Suhrie, a graduate of C. S. T. C. . . . This year ' s group listened to a lecture by Norman Thomas, noted philosopher, attended a formal ball at the Hotel Pennsylvania, and took in the sights of New York. . . . All in aU it was a successful trip, both from the standpoint of experi- ence, and education. Those who attended this year ' s conference were lune Erskine, Margaret Foreman, Katharine Isenberg, Donald Duvall, and Herman Preseren. 66 HARRISBURG GROUP Each year California sends a group of students to Harrisburg to an Inter- collegiate Conference on Government, wherein the students discuss current problems of governmental set-up. . . . This conference is composed of a group of some three hundred delegates from approximately forty Pennsylvania institu- tions, including Teacher Colleges, Liberal Arts Colleges, and Universities. . . . Each year California sends from ten to thirteen delegates. . . . Student Congress helps to finance the trip with an allocation from the Student Activities Association. . . . The delegates are chosen by the faculty sponsors in connec- tion with the former student delegates and the Student Cabinet. . . . This year the Conference was called a Governor ' s Conference at which Cahfornia was represented as the State of California. . . . Doris McCollum was elected Governor and had charge of the group. Professor Horace Montgomery was faculty sponsor of the delegation. 67 STUDENT CABINET The job of reviewing allocation demands from the various organizations on California ' s campus, and recommending how much they were actually going to get, was delegated to this illustrious body at the beginning of the year. . . . Preparation of the docket for Congress meetings, determination of the policy of the Student Activities Association, initiation of legislation, and reporting at any time are other functions of Cabinet. . . . Ten of the members are chosen by a caucus of class representatives in Congress; the president of Congress and president of the Student Activities Association are automatically members, thus making a total of twelve in all. . . .A representative of the president of the college sits in at the meetings to facilitate relationships in that quarter. . . . Cabinet leads, Congress follows. ... At times Congress gets rambunctious and overrides some recommendations, but these are few and far between. . . . May be referred to as the Supreme Court of Cahfornia, although they do not pass on the constitutionality of legislature passed by Congress. The officers: chairman, Schuyler Marshall; vice chairman, Willis Foster; secretary, Sam Paisley. i ) Ht H 1 mt W l H I Cjii . nff Bi 68 STUDENT CONGRESS Scmetimes called stccgent Congress, but is far from being a stooge group. . . .

The officers: president, Eugene McDonald; vice-president, Schuyler Mar- shaU; secretary, Rita Carroll; treasurer, Mrs. Conlon. 69 TRAVELING WOMEN ' S COUNCIL The guiding hand for the travehng girls. Under their leadership the traveling lassies take care and enjoy the benefits of the comfortable ladies ' travehng quarters. They also help to sponsor the annual traveling dance, as well as aiding the sponsorship of Dad ' s Day and Mother ' s Day. There has been no doubt that this group ' s presence has been readily per- ceived since it represents one of the largest contingents of students on the campus. Margaret Renstrom acted as president for the past year while other members of the council were Doris McCoUum, Sylvia Kweller, Gladys Balmer, Betty Koop, Christine Mclntyre, Katharine Sale, Ruth Stanton, Hazel Braun, and Ann Kusago. 70 TRAVELING MEN ' S COUNCIL The integrating unit between the traveling men and the administration. . . . Their duties are to iron out any differences the traveling men may have with resident students, administration, or themselves. . . . Helped sponsor the Traveling Association dance . . . worked with the Traveling Women ' s Council in this connection. . . . This year the Council was faced with a problem of housing as the Men ' s Traveling Room under Science Hall was used as a store-room when that building was repaired. . . . Late election of officers retarded action along this line, however, so the travelers did without a loafing spot for the greater part of the year. The ofhcers: president, Edward Bell; vice-president, Charles Covalesky; members, Harold Edwards, Robert Todd, Edwin Linden, and Jay Luft. 71 NORTH HALL COUNCIL Under the able direction of June Erskine, president of North Hall council, the girls ' dormitory has achieved well worthwhile purp ose in different phases of resident girls ' lives. The various social functions, Mother ' s Day, Dad ' s Day, Christmas Party, Dorm Dinner Dance, and other private girls ' parties are either held or aided by this group. During the past year in particular, this group has set a standard of fire regula- tions by which every girl in the dormitory abides for her own protection and safety. Other members of the council include Dorothy FuUerton, Dorothy Good, Mary Belle Whipkey, and Dorothy NeweU. 72 SOUTH HALL COUNCIL The governing body of the men ' s dormitory. . . . This illustrious group listens to complaints, freshmen, or anything else desiring an ear. . . . Deter- mine the severity of freshman rules, and see that they are carried out. . . . Also keep their eyes peeled for any over anxious sophomore that might try to exceed the rules set down by this council . . . South Hall ' s guiding stars . . . They are instrumental for arranging a well-balanced social program for the dormitory. . . . Although officers, the lads themselves are not policemen. . . . They are merely dormitory students whose business it is to act as a coordinating unit. . . . Instigators of the Dorm Dinner-Dance . . . Really nice lads. . . . The officers: president. Earl Kuhn. Members include Byron Hoon, William Crowley, Michael Poet, Marcellus Kunkelmann, and John Migut. 73 GAMMA PHI CHI No better place could a member of the feminine contingent on the campus find to become skilled in the social graces. Twice-monthly the socialites gather to talk over worthwhile subjects over a cup of tea. However, the organization, under the sponsorship of Miss Carroll, carry out a project that is really outstand- ing and different from anything else on the campus. Each year the group gets together and makes some kind of a project for the sick children of the Charleroi and Brownsville hospitals. During the past year small scrapbooks, depicting dogs, cats, babies, children of foreign lands, and other forms of pictures, were made and distributed, making many a child ' s eye beam with happy tears and laughter. 74 ALPHA PSI OMEGA A fraternity designed to give its members a professional outlook on the theatre . . . has the distinction of being the third largest fraternity in the United States. . . . To become a member of the local fraternity, the individual must pass first through Junior Players, then College Players. . . . While here he must achieve a rating of distinguished service for one year, must meet certain other require- ments in scholarship, professional attitudes, continued activity in dramatics, and must conform also to certain national standards. . . . Not an easy job to acquire membership. . . . The Beta Omicron cast (California ' s) has already set Bless His Little Heart into production to be used as a road show next year. . . . All members will take part in the production of the show. . . . Under the supervision of Dr. Earl W. Blank. . . . Aside from general campus meetings, the cast holds a social meeting with the alumni once each month. . . . The officers: president, Margaret Foreman; vice-president, Betty Koop; secretary-treasurer, Doris McCoUum. 75 PI GAMMA MU Pi Gamma Mu is a national honorary fraternity composed of students of social science. The National Council of Pi Gamma Mu gra nted a charter to California State Teachers College in May, 1933, as the Lambda chapter. Requirements to membership in the fraternity are high scholastic standing in the field of social studies and activity in other student projects on the campus. At each meeting Pi Gamma Mu has an outside speaker. Some for this year were Andrew S. Sukel, Principal of Donora Senior High School, and the Pioneers of the Northwest Expedition. Members and speakers delve into current world problems which confront the world, and discussions of national and international relations are discussed. Pi Gamma Mu is one of the clubs on the campus which makes it worth while to students for being its members. Under the guidance of Professor Arthur S. Gilmore ... Pi Gamma Mu is an organization of growing importance on the campus , . . and several new members were admitted to it this past year. Officers of the fraternity are: president, Katherine Sale; vice-president, Thomas Cober; secretary-treasurer, Margaret Renstrom and Professor Gilmore. 76 PHI SIGMfl PI Onward Education or some similar phrase would be an appropriate slogan for Phi Sigma Pi, primarily an educational fraternity.

The qualifications for membership are a B average, leadership, friendliness and value to the school. Mr. C. B. Wilson, a national officer, sponsors the organi- zation. Four professional meetings and two socials are held during the course of the year, and at these are present educational leaders who speak and discuss problems of education.

To prove this . . . they invite all the alumni back to attend the Drag and the dinner. . . . Their big, red C s are the envy of the institution, so it is only natural that these boys do not limit their scope of activity to athletics, but are also active in other extra-curricular activities. . . .

We wept with pity for Ma of Sun-Up, laughed through three rollicking acts of The Importance of Being Earnest, and enjoyed the fine acting and directing of the Mother ' s Day play, Zaragueta. ... In addition to the major productions of the club, nineteen one-act plays were presented by the Thespians. . . . In order to allow all members to participate actively, the club inaugurated a point system, whereby each individual was given definite credit for such work as he might do. . . .

The lassies originally played only auction bridge, but in the past year they developed a classy game of contract. . . . A feature of this year ' s program was a challenge rubber with four lads from South Hall. . . . Monvalea put up a good, steady fight, but lost the contest. ... At any rate, possibly they have set a precedent which will be carried on in coming years. . . . During the year, a Girl Scout training course was offered to the girls, several of whom took advantage of the offer. ... A Valentine ' s Day party was another feature of the girls ' activities.

Much attention has been given to the club ' s telescope, also. . . . When a suitable place has been found, students will begin polishing the 2 ' 2 inch mirror. D. O. Scanlon, well known amateur astronomist, was the guest speaker of the Science-Math Club at the chapel program which it sponsored. The club members have expressed interest in another field, that of Bnger- printing. . . . It is hoped that with the aid of the F.B.I. , the club will gain enough information to do co mpetent fingerprinting. Girls of C.S.T.C. have expressed a liking for things scientific for there are several of them among the members of the club. Officers of the club: president, Marcellus Kunkelmann; vice-president, Joe Kelley; secretary-treasurer, Zula Bamford. 87 WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB Dude ranching was the theme this year, yes, one of those wild west dude farms was formed in the French Provincial Room.

On their annual two spring and fall concerts, Sigma Tau Lambda featured Edith Sagul, flutist. Under the direction and sponsorship of Miss Ruth Myers combinations of quartettes, duets, and other forms of voice combinations are featured at the annual concerts.

The officers: president, Howard Pile; vice-president, Francis Geary; secretary, Lawrence Sullivan; treasurer, Wilbur Edwards. 89 C. S. N. A, Providing its members with actual experience as advisors is the aim of the Council of School Newspaper Advisors, more commonly known as the C.S.N. A. . . . After three semesters of work on the staff., during which time the individual does everything from janitor work to editing, the potential newshound becomes a pledge to the council. . . . Here, after two semesters of student advising the journalist is given a certificate which authorizes him to sponsor a newspaper in any Elementary, Junior High, or High School in which he may find himself. . . . The chief work of the group is to advise and help members of the newspaper staff along the lines of writing, copyreading, and headlining. . . . The yearly press conierence at Hershey, Pa., during the Christmas vacation is usually attended by some members of the Council. . . . There they try to pick up new ideas in school journalism which will be of aid to the Hammer and Tongs, and also to themselves when they become teachers. . . . This year the Council awarded certificates to four members: Bertha Jane Bradley, Joseph Zaffy, Herman Preseren, and Wilbur Edwards. . . . The officers: president, Wilbur Edwards; vice-president. Bertha Jane Bradley; secretary-treasurer, Gladys Balmer; student representative to Congress, Wilbur Edwards. 9C HAMMER AND TONGS Probably one of the most progressive organizations on the campus . . . rose from a three column paper with very few illustrations three years ago, to its present status of five columns and plenty of pictures. . . . Really a school of hard knocks and hard work . . . Under the sponsorship of C. M. Hughey a journalist as well as a teacher. . . . Ultimate goal is that some day the H T will be a daily. . . . The Mailbox has become a clearing house for student opinions . . . the editorial policy has always been favorable to the lad m the hall . . . Heard Cy Hungerford, noted cartoonist, at their annual banquet to keep up their reputation of bringing only the best to California. . . . Publicity work concerning the new recreation center at the Lilley Farm probably did most to convey to the general student body and alumni the intents and purposes of the farm. . . . Wound up the season with one dead columnist, and two others limping down the stretch. . . . Present staff is to be commended for overcoming a handicap of greenness to put out a nice paper. . . . Cartwright, Lamb, Smith, O ' Brien, Tichansky and Butler sophomores and freshmen with the exception of Lamb, a junior, com- prise the nucleus of the staff. 91 CAMERA CLUB Lights! Action! Camera! Although the members do not always have lights they certainly have plenty of action with their cameras. The camera club, formerly known as the Photography club, was organized as one of the first extra-curricular organizations of the California State Teachers College campus. When the club first came into being it boasted the largest enrollment of the organization. The club meets every second Thursday and the programs contain interesting discussions of photographic interest. The members of the club delight in snapping all kinds of pictures, and some very interesting compositions have resulted. Besides just taking pictures the camera fans develop films and make prints. The Monocal is indebted to the Camera Club for its photographs. Many of the former members of the camera club have found the club a fortunate experience, and now have started their own photography clubs in their schools. The officers: president, John McCloskey; vice-president, Thomas Emory; secretary, Juanita Frederick; treasurer, Gladys Garber. 92 MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB The Music Appreciation Club is what its name denotes. The members listen to music and learn to develop an appreciation of fine music. This organization is under the sponsorship of Dr. Charles E. Veon, head of the Music department of C.S.T.C. The club has not accomphshed as much this year as in previous years as far as attending outside concerts and symphonies is concerned. The members give talks at the various meetings of the club. The officers: president, Howard Pape; vice-president, Harry McCann; secretary-treasurer, Eleanora Esken. 93 DEBATE CLUB The Debate Team this year completed a 600 mile tour of the eastern part of the state with four members of the debate team, Jack Marshall, Joe Smyth, George Roadman and Joe Kelley. . . . During the course of the tour the following seven colleges were visited; Lock Haven, Bloomsburg, Kutztown, Shippensburg, Susquehanna, Lebanon Valley and Albright. . . . The team experienced speaking before a variety of audiences: college, high school, town and city . . . and in the type of debates: conventional and Oregon styles . . . they have no decision debates . . . their purpose being to obtain training that will prepare them to direct this branch of forensic activity in high schools and to develop their speech, organization and presentation of their material. . . . The officers: president, Joe Smyth; manager, Beatrice Keller; representative to Congress, Schuyler Marshall. 94 GEOGRAPHY CLUB The Geography club celebrated its tenth birthday this year, and remembered with sighs the days in years gone by when membership totaled 200, and S.R.O. signs were needed despite the use of Science Hall ' s large double rooms. A variety of activities is covered by the club. Lectures by members of the organization and outside speakers, moving pictures, picnics, demonstrations, and held trips make the club both worth while and interesting for any persons interested in geography. This year the club sponsored a chapel program with Miss Helen M. Strong oi the Department of Soil Conservation of the Department of Agriculture as guest speaker. Also to the club ' s credit is the Geography conference, which was held here in March. To be included on the sailing list of the boat which will take geographers to Europe under the guidance of Mr. Harding, is the aim of Geography Club members. . . . That is the reason they are hoarding those pennies. Officers of the club are: president, John Harhai; secretary-treasurer, Gladys Balmer. 95 RIFLE CLUB Because of the fact that the Demonstririon School ringe was used for a store room for the science equipment coming out of the remodehng of Science Hall, this club didn ' t get organized untO the second semester. . . . The club, how- ever, was not inactive. . . . Meetings were conducted in class rooms, and noted riflemen were invited as guest speakers. . . . A novel climax of the semester ' s activities came when Donald Nimrod Higbee bagged a six-point deer weighing 125 pounds during the first few days of hunting season. . . . As a result the club feels that they have had a successful year. . . . At the beginning of the second semester the greater part of the club ' s activities shifted to the Noss Range and Steve Stefanik was given the responsi- bility of rounding out a rifle combination to oppose other rifle teams in the district. . . . The club is sponsored by Mr. Neagley and Mr. Sutherland. Officers of the organization are president, Donald Hig bee; vice-president, Anthony Kula; secretary-treasurer, George Shepler; executive officer, Elmer Riffle. 96 WHAT THEY HAVE DONE DURING THE PAST YEAR REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS; Represented the college at the Eastern States Association for Teachers in New York and the Intercollegiate Conference on Government in Harrisburg.

In the far off past the main thought of Athletics at Cahfornia has been to win — to win in any way possible. Today the chief purpose is to promote an athletic program that will assure each individual student the opportunity to participate at any sport he desires. The set-up of intramural, junior varsity, and varsity ath- Covalesky takes a rest . . . Peck ' s Bad Boys . . . Jayvees tie W. J. . . . Monkey shines, eh? . . . Home of winter athletics . . . Dr. Downey watches closely . . . Which is right side up? . . . Bedogne does a good job . . . Fun on the farm 100 letics has been the road paved toward this achievement. Traditionally, California has been known, not by glamorous headlines in newspapers, but by the fact that it has produced teachers well qualified in sportsmanship, good leader- ship, and a clear insight to athletics along with a high scholastic standard.

Stop him, boys 101 ATHLETICS AT CALIFORNIA The Athletic Council, composed of six students and three faculty members, is the unit that coordinates athletic activities at California. . . . Also brings the student body into close contact with the Administration. . . . Created by an act of Student Congress in 1935, it has served its purpose in a manner that deserves the highest recommendations. . . . This outfit buys equipment, schedules games in football, basketball, and tennis - signs contracts, keeps intramural sports going, gives out awards, and, in general, does all the work connected with CaHfornia ' s athletic program. . . . They have given to the students a fine athletic program and used an amount of money which would be used to carry but one activity in another college. . . . Some comment raised concerning large allocation, but it can be easily seen that it is quite necessary. 102 . . . Because of the extensive extra-curricular program at California, Student Congress finds difficulty in guaranteeing sufficient sums to the Athletic Council, but as years roll on the problem of allocation to athletics will grow greater, because athletics will assume a more important role at California in the very near future. Greater athletic en thusiasm is in store for California when the dream of a decade becomes a realization Herron Hall will be enlarged with the annexa- tion of an indoor swimming pool. There is great hope of building another major sport at C.S.T.C. Future students will enjoy the benefits of the present expansion program, on and off the campus. The purchase of the Lilley Recreation Center will offer limitless opportunities for the development of numerous sport activities, novel to California. Only time will ripen development. The recent purchase of the Rothwell tract will also do its share in years to come in building athletics at California. In all probability, the twenty-acre estate will be the site for the new athletic field so much in need at California since the tearing up of the old athletic battlefield, which is now covered with the new Industrial Arts Building. With the new land additions, California is afforded the opportunity of reach- ing a new high in the development of sports. California is still young, but growing fast. 103 Ste Naylor Grove W. H. Steers, Coach A believer in the adage, Everybody is good for some- thing and practices just that, on his gridiron duties as coach. Big Bill knows all the ins and outs of football and claims that material is the primary es- sential of any successful team. Charles E. Leman, Co-captain The boy from Portage who can smile whether he is down or up. The brain half of the famous Kuhn-Leman combination at guards during the past year. Clifford Naylor, Co-captain Once he fell asleep at the wheel and never lived it down, but never did he fall asleep in guiding the wheel of the 1937 Vulcan gridiron heroes. Clarence Grove, Ass ' t Coach Famous for his baseball ability But more recently as a faithful builder-upper for Coach Steers. Sends Jay-Vee material up, and provides very excellent records with his green material. FOOTBALL 104 FOOTBALL Sam Bedogne, Halfback Slingin Sam or Kickin Sam, in either case the title would be appropriate. Depend- able as a punter, passer, and receiver. Loves soccer, base- ball, and basketball just as well as football. Joseph Phillips, Halfback The watch dog of Herron Hall. Has more pull with Hoppy than any other person on the campus. Played guard two years, but moved to the back- field this year. Quite serious in every undertaking. One of the finest bits of action of the Indiana defeat. Stephen Kuzma, Vlucan halfback, received the ball on his own 40-yard line and behind splendid inter- ference wiggled his way through the center of the line for a dash of 38 yards before he was tackled The tackle resulted into a fumble for Kuzy and an Indiana man recovered. (Note Kuzma tackled and No. 28 falling upon the loose baU.) Bedogne Phillips 105 FOOTBALL Earl Kuhn, Guard The other half of the famous Kuhn-Leman combination. Not- ed for his ability to break through and block oppionent ' s kicks. Plays center just as well. Chief garcon of the Dining Hall. Edward HaU, Tackle A giant that can eat football. Goes to school and works at night, with football added as a pastime. His other pastime lives in California. The play that spelled defeat to a Clarion team for the first time. With Cali- fornia against their own wall, Sam Bartolotta, California quarterback, stood in the end zone and prepared to kick out of danger. The front line broke loose, and three Clarion gridsters rushed in upon Sammy. The ball struck one of the blockers and rolled out of the end zone for what proved to be the winning two points. (Note, Bartolotta completing his kick and the ball rolling loose — out of the end zone.) Kuhn Hall 106 Kuzmd Zell McCloskey Finley Stephen Kuzma, Halfback The fleet midget of tlie team. Probably the only man that can outrun the coach. Noted for his mousey squeezings through opponent ' s line. A printer ' s devil by trade. James Zell, Halfback Another side-stepping, for- ward-pass catching halfback. Kuzma ' s roommate and chum. Supplies towels to his football mates and other Herron Hall visitors. John McCloskey, Tackle Although a junior, this was his first year on the squad. Proved himself just as capable at end as at tackle. Noted for his quiet, demure manners. Gail Finley, Tackle Gail ' s second year on the team provided an impetus that was needed. Expect much from him in the next two seasons. Another industrialist. FOOTBALL 107 Dressing Roberts Howard Dressing, Tackle A huge, burly lad over 200 pounds. Prepped dt Massanut- ten Military Academy. What ' s his name? Just call me ' How- dy ' , is the way he puts it. A freshman and a big addition to the line. Someone to watch for in the next three years. Leo Roberts, Center A stonewall at the middle contingent of the line. Known for his knowledge of football and ability to express his knowledge. One of the best prospects that trod C.S.T.C. gridiron soil. Barker kicks one into the coffin corner. Ray Barker, who had been doing the major punting for the team ever since he trod upon the Vulcan gridiron three years ago, did splendid work against the stronger Indiana Indians. Ray outpunted his opponents in distance, but the Indian passing attack and the diminutive shifting of the visitors ' Kelly was too much to be offset by kicking alone. (Note, the blockmg support Ray received in this bit of action.) FOOTBALL 108 FOOTBALL James Harris, end Dependable at the wing posi- tion. Gets under kicks fast and usually bags the ball carrier. Doesn ' t say much, but when he does he means it — and no fool- in ' . Side kicks with Pete Brown. Sam Bartolotta, quarterback. A highly-touted quarterb ack in the valley. Lived up to his name to some extent in his first year, but several years absence from the green sod took some of the finesse from him. Is ex- pected to regain his form, how- An end run to the left side of the field. Jimmy Zell and Steve Kuzma, Cali- fornia ' s halfbacks, did the major part of this sort of ball carrying. However, straight ground plays never did result in much of a noticeable gain for the Vulcans. During the past year the Red and Black either struck suddenly from the air or the line surged into the opponents ' backfield and blocked a would-be punt for the majority of their points. Harris Bartolotta 109 FOOTBALL Edwin Black, Manager A hard working boy with an aim to please all the girdiron heroes he serves. Eddie knew all the answers and was ready for any emergency. The Dapper Dan of the sauad. John Lasko, Guard A physique that makes a formidable wall for the team. Gets the biggest kick out of trips when eating, because then he doesn ' t have to prepare his own meal. A reliable man at his post. A part of the many hundreds that attended the annual Dads ' Day affair. Be- fore the game got under way a red or black balloon was given to each person at the game. At halftime the colorful balloons were released to dot the skylines. A beautiful day, it was. The game was broadcast from station WMBS. All in vain, however, as far as the game was concerned. (Can you pick yourself out?) Black Lasko uo Janscik Barker Covalesky Bagshaw Michael Janscik, guard Michael played three years with the Jay Vees and made this year ' s team because of his con- tinuous inspired spirit. Would rather do physical work than eat, and particularly teach tum- bling to grade school kiddies. Raymond Barker, end Four-year man. The only old timer on the squad. Adept at getting under kicks and doing his own kicking. The long dis- tance punter of the squad. Be- lieves in freedom of speech and carries it out. Charles Covalesky, end Another wingman. Rugged and fast under long distance punts. Ixives to gather in passes. A great guy for getting the other gal ' s address. Usually agrees with you in a friendly manner. William Bagshaw, end Another prep from Massanut- ten. Lived up to that school ' s tradition of providing good ma- terial. Only a freshman, yet handles a ball easier than a knife or fork when eating his mother ' s pies. FOOTBALL 111 SEASON ' S RESULTS Edinboro 0, California The Vulcans opened their 1937 gridiron season when they opposed a stub- born Edinboro eleven on the latter ' s field. Although the score doesn ' t show it, the locals ran roughshod over their opponents, collecting nine first downs to Edinboro ' s one. The Steersmen did almost everything but score a touchdown. Westminster 2, California 6 Little hope was held for the Vulcans when they invaded Westminster and opened gridiron relations with their stronger liberal arts friends. In mud and rain, the Steersmen battled against the two-point advantage Westminster gained in the second period. When the fourth quarter opened, things still appeared dismal until the Vulcans rushed in and detoured a Westminster punt and then fell on the ball for a touchdown, to snag the long end of the count. Fairmont 7, California 9 California lost no time in breaking through Fairmont ' s line to block a punt and thereby catch their opponents behind their own goal-line to net two points which proved very important when the final whistle blew. Fairmont then netted seven points, but the locals brushed away a probable defeat by also garnering seven points. . . . Another close one. 112 West Liberty 13, Calilornia Football relationship was resumed with West Liberty, but the out-of-staters were not so cordial. . . . Another trip into foreign waters . . . this one proved disastrous to the locals . . . but it ' s fun losing to a good team. Clarion 2, California For the first time in football history the locals fell before one of Clarion ' s mightiest elevens in years. ... It would have to be Dad ' s Day, too. . . . This time California was caught behind their own goal line after a kick was blocked. . . . This never happened when dad played, but it still wins football games. Indiana 19, California The most decisive defeat of the season . . . but this losing is getting monoto- nous. . . . The Hammer and Tongs, inspired by the hunting season, worded it beautifully. . . . The lead went like this: An Indiana Teachers eleven unloaded both barrels in the California woodlands last Saturday and jogged home with a 19-0 Vulcan kill strapped over their shoulders. Three hundred persons basked in the rare November sun and saw the Indians track down the Vulcan after wounding him in the second period with a six-point touchdown shot. Grove City 6, California 7 More success with liberal arts colleges. ... A dexterous toe that sent the pigskin halving the goal posts after a touchdown was scored was accountable for the thin margin of victory. Slippery Rock 0, California 6 Unbelievable except when done in black and white. . . . The records were never on the side of California. For the first time since 1926 California was able to gain better than a tie from their traditional rivals. . . . The game was played on a sea of mud at the new Monessen high school stadium. 113 JAYVEE FOOTBALL Coach Grove ' s Baby Vulcan gridders found a tough time getting started last fall and lost the first two games on the schedule to high school elevens before they could collect themselves. When they did collect themselves, they ran rough- shod over the Jay Vees of Indiana 27-0 in the first home game of the season, even though it was played on the East Pike Run high school field. A week later, this same fighting Red and Black eleven held a much heavier and highly touted Washington and Jefferson freshmen eleven to a scoreless tie. On the morning of Dad ' s Day, the Grovemen captured the Kel-Gens of Union- town 6-0 as part of the double attraction that ended tragically in the afternoon when the Vulcans lost to Clarion. In a return game with Indiana, the last game of the season, the Junior Indians avenged the previous defeat handed them by the Grovemen by eking out a 8-6 win. The slate recorded the Jay Vees with two wins, three losses, and one tie. T 1 T f i ' % •« A« . mn • r% y i 114 Steers R. Remaley D. Remaley Hoon W. H.

Defeat No. nine. 118 JAYVEE BASKETBALL From the odd assortments of opponents played this year, which included high school faculty, alumni, electricians, millmen, industrialists, and freshman quintets, the Grove- men came through with twelve victories and four defeats, for a season ' s percentage of .750 in the sixteen games played. Every year the Baby Vulcans stage their murderous rampage over their opponents. Within the ranks of these same fighting basketeers are found the potential varsity timber from which Coach William H. Steers draws his players. Climaxes in the Jay Vee schedule were scored particularly at two contests, which shows their gameness, which is the very essence of their fighting spirit. Early in the season, the locals eked out a thrilling one-point win over the Slippery Rock Jay Vee quintet. The other thrilling contest came later when the Grovemen nosed out the Connellsville Westinghouse five in the last few seconds of play, 37-35. The Grovemen amassed a total of 566 points as against their opponents ' 506, with a proportionate 35 points per game average compared to the opponents ' 32 points per game average.

With not one defeat chalked against them the South Hall passers dribbled through seven stubborn opponents to sit atop the pyramid and atop the heap of also-rans, among which were the California Mudhens, runner-up, and Intra- mural Champions of yesteryear. Not until the latter part of March had the teams completed the first half of the schedule. With the coming of April came warm breezes and sunny afternoons and distastes for playing indoors, and it was believed that the intramuralers would call the season quits, but team captains met and decided to run off a second-half winner through tournment eliminations. The contest narrowed down to two teams, Dixon Hall and South Hall. South HaU won and was proclaimed cup-bearer in Intramural Basketball for the 1938 season. 120 TENNIS SQUAD Fairmont 1 California 8 Waynesburg 4 Calitornia 3 Indiana 9 California : Slippery Rock 3 California 6 Waynesburg 5 California 2 With just one varsity man to build the 1937 tennis squad, Coach I. C. Keller wrestled with inexperienced material and inclement weather in whipping into shape a formidable crew. Only five of the eight games scheduled were played, and California was able to win only two of these games, being defeated by Waynesburg twice and by Indiana once. For the first time in tennis history, Indiana defeated our Vulcans, The local netters were rained out in three games: two with Frostburg and one with Fairmont. Incidentally, California were reigning favorites over these teams. Cali- fornia ' s defeats overweighed her victories for the first time since Dr. Keller took over tennis for the Red and Black fourteen years ago . . . and this wouldn ' t have happened if Jupe Pluvius hadn ' t been cantankerous, forcing the racquetmen into being rained out. That year saw the KeUerman win-streak end at 21 straight games; Waynesburg for the first time in three years set back the Vulcans. Captain Al Berry ' s win streak of 17 consecutive victories in singles was also checked at Waynesburg by a lad named McKay. The 1938 season will be another difficult one for the tennis mentor. Byron Holman and John Symons are the only lettermen back. But California is fortunate in having among its ranks one of the best freshman tennis prospects in years Rexford Brenneman, 1937 fall tourney king. Coach Keller has one consolation he has three men around which he can plan to build a 1938 team. 121 W. A. A. BOARD These feminine executives act as the governing body of the Women ' s Athletic Association. Due to the size of the organization, a small governing body is neces- sary in order to more efficiently direct the activities. This year the board inaugurated a policy of holding monthly club meetings, a thing never before done in the history of the W.A.A. The Board is composed of four officers, managers of teams participating in various sports activities, and the sponsor, Miss Hildreth. This council takes care of almost all business, discusses ways and means of providing tor the girls, and most of the committee- work. The officers: president, Martha Meyers; treasurer, Alma Raynal; secretary, Mildred Palmer; representative to Congress, Retta Mae Williams. The Managers: ping pong, Ruth Staley; basketball and volleyball, Evelyn LiUey; hiking, Mary Jane Cornell; tennis, Ruth Bohn; hockey, Mary Belle Whip- key; rifle, Marie Miller. 122 W. A. A, The Women ' s Athletic Association is one of the busiest organizations on the campus the year around. From the very first part of school opening until the very last day, does this organization perform activity on and about the campus. This year was no exception, the Women ' s Athletic Association let no grass grow under their feet, but dug right in and carved their niche in athletics at California as they always had, not letting themselves to be outdone by the male of the species. While tiny droplets of perspiration trinkled over their pretty noses, California lassies were busy playing a sport for every season is their boasting pride. In the fall the girl ' s attention is called to fall tennis, field hockey, archery, and hiking about the countryside. In the winter Herron Hall becomes the home for basketball, pingpong, badminton, volleyball, and rifle shooting. In the spring the main dish is tennis, while hiking also becomes prominent once more. ■ t izA- UU 123 Among this year ' s main accomplishments were the basketball and ping-pong tournaments. In basketball, Team B nosed out Team C to cop the basketball championship. The team was piloted by Teresa Cupelli and supported by the passers; Fredericks, R. Dalaidi, Sale, Williams, Daniels, Buk, Baker, and Leich- liter. In ping-pong Frances Plava captured No. 1 honors while Teresa Cupelli and Katherine Sale followed as No. 2 and No. 3 respectively. The organization, under the sponsorship of Miss Louise Hildreth, does not believe in competition with other college girls; but rather in playing with the other girls as partners instead of competitors. Two major play-days are sponsored yearly by this group, one in which they play hosts to a score of district colleges, and the other, hosts to district high schools. At these two events, the girls are so divided that one girl from each school is on a certain roster. No two girls may be found on the same list. With this team building competition is put secondary with the fun of playing as the first goal. After the matches the Vulcan girls play hosts to the visiting girls at a banquet, dinner, or a tea. W. A. A, 124 W. A. A, V 125 EPILOGUE There were happy days, then too, there were some days filled with worry and nights with tossing sleep. But the end has come and what has been done must be. Regardless of how this book is accepted or how hard of a grind it had become, it was fun and full of experience. However, credit must be given to those who were really responsible for the final completion of the whole project. The theme, traditions, was suggested by Mr. Hurst, who acted so admirably and helpful in his advisory capacity. Jay Luft must be complimented and thanked for the striking title pages. The student photographers are responsible for every picture with the exception of the Junior and Senior portraits, and should be remembered for the many sleepless hours of developing and printing. The writing staff came through in such a fashion that would make any editor ' s heart sing with icy. To Wilbur Edwards we endow the title of assistant editor for his many gracious and untiring days of welcomed aid. Michael Tichansky and Mary Alice Powell deserve commendation for their many hours of typing the several hundred sheets of copy and to Willis Foster, Virgil Brand and Edward Bell, we owe thanks for their supporting aid. Then there were Mr. Harris, the professional photographer, Mr. Snyder and Mr. Gadd of the Canton Engraving Co., Mr. Weaver, Mr. Wicks, and Mr. Richards of the Pittsburgh Printing Co., all of whom rendered special and friendly service to your editor. The Monocal of 1938 closes its last page, its biggest problem was to please the students; we hope that it has succeeded in every way. 126 First, The Blade nefh The Stalk hen.
