Here at California, students continuously carry on an une official publicity program in which the campus, stu' dents, and student life is publicised thru letters. Witli this in mind we have tried. to turn the pages of the Monocal into a series of letters supplernented. by photographs to present an intimate resume of life, California style. Life that to the Freshman is just beginning to unfold and to the Senior has just been. completed.. Life that is life because of a wide curricuf lu-rn, wide extrafcurricular activities and wide assof ciations. Out of this college life comes the individual, broad and enlightened, setting out to teach students in the way of a full life. Turn now to what the staff hopes is in part a photostatic copy of California State Teachers College in action. Sincerely, GEORGE ROADMAN, EDITOR DON CROUSHORE, Bus.

I'm sorry you couldn't come with dad and me because I know you would have enjoyed seeing the place. The pictures I'-rn sending will help, and you will be coming soon so you'll see everything, but I sort of felt funny when I left. The sophomores took that out of me soon-with the haircut and all.- 'You should have seen my haircut. A couple of the boys came for me and I thought it was just another paddling. They blindfolded me and took me into a room and then I heard the scissors and it was too late to do anything-but it's all in fun. Anyway we are really getting into the swing of things now, with classes starting and all. The faculty here, what I know of it, is a pretty nice group. I have my profs for this semester marked in that group of pictures I sent last week. .1-nhlllh gi- ' PORCHES AND SNCW AND THE NIGHT Herc's a picture of the President, Dr. Robert M. Steele. When we came here last week there was a Freshman meeting the same day I took my test and I jotted down a few of the things he said. I dorft suppose he would mind. if I quoted him to you. It is given to few generations to see in their own lifetime the remaking of the world. Changes in the map brought about by force of arms or intrigue, inf volving, it may be, the destruction of peoples is the least significant of the changes wrought. Man's up' ward struggle has been marked by great advances and by great reccssions but always there persists that basic spiritual urge that drives man on and makes him seek what appears to be a higher good. In this evolution in recent years mechanical and scientific progress in material things have far out' stripped spiritual development and the search for techniques for making justice and good will effective among men. No permanent peace can come and no sustained orderly progress is possible without relative' ly equal advances of these two aspects of progress - the spiritual and the material. Advancing abreast they complement each. other. In our day mechanical and material advances with' out the control exercised by good will threaten to overthrow civilization, drench the world with human blood and destroy in a few years the wealth, the cul' ture and the material gains made during centuries of toil. Contemplating the world of our day and asking what part education has played in all this and what task faces it, future teachers may well ponder the significance of the admonition: Let no unskilled hand play upon the harp whose music stays forever in the stringsf' ,,,p.nuvl1 ,funn-I yuan ,gunsh- ,funn- ' THEODORE A.

I have the names listed but I donlt suppose that means so much to you so I'll do some explaining. Dr. Siedle is the Dean of Education. It is his job to handle problems of schedule, curriculum, and other similar problems. Mr. Walken' is Dean of Men. Not only that but he is on the Athletic Council, handles the activity programs and teaches classes. Miss Bernstorf has a similar job as Dean of Womeii. Her domain is North Hall where she oversees governing the girls who live there as well as the traveling women. Sponsor of the T. W. C. A., she has quite a job cut out for her. So you see, you don't need to talk so much about rearing me. Wliat if you had a hundred and fifty to supervise? ELLA E.

Coover, Stavaski, Hoover, Keck, Bauer Dear Sis, Here are a number of pictures for you to look at. I guess you might call it an organization album be' cause it covers most of the clubs here at school. Every- one in school is supposed. to have one extra curricular activity and almost every interest a person might have is covered. Music, forensic, science, marlgsmanf ship, society, photography, etc., covers the list of groups faculty sponsored and student manipulated. GRGA IZATIONS 17 Dear Dad, Remember how you used to lecture about my do' ing too'much extra curricular work in high school to study? Well you ought to be down here and see the opportunity for branching out. There's every' thing here that a person could possibly be interested in. Everything is primarily student project and even the money is in student hands as far as the allocating of it is concerned. STUDENT CONGRESS is the legislature of the school. Each class elects representatives and each or' ganization is entitled to a representative. Problems of school administration and student affairs are dealt with by the group. This year Student Congress sent a delegation to Lock Haven where a convention was held dealing with student government problems among the teachers colleges. Stan Zingle served as President of the group. Iim Butler, Vice President was elevated to the presidency when Stan Zingle had to be of campus due to student teaching. STUDENT CABINET is evidence of an attempt at efficiency for here the business of congress usually originates. Allocations are thrashed out and this year such innovations as activity books and the soak the faculty plan was an indication of cabinets activities. Members of cabinet are members of congress who have 'served at least one year in congress. Louise Snowberger is the President. TRAVELING MENS COUNCIL takes care of problems arising around the traveling room in the basement of Science Hall. Two or three times a year the boys have a feed consisting of doughnuts and cojee, and then collaborate with the traveling girls to hold a party in the Provincial Room and a dance during the postftest calm between semesters. foe Blair headed the fellows this year. 18 , 20 5 SOUTH HALL COUNCIL displays all the politics, diplomacy, and general aspects of any state or federal group of its kind. Its purpose is to govern the stu- dents in the menls dormitory or rather handle the problems that come up because democracy is at its peak in the South and Dixon dormitories. Bill Neel is president. Tou're a married man so I suppose you don't need to be told that the men aren't the only ones who govern, because women are good at that too. NORTH HALL COUNCIL is the women broad' ers efforts at governing by the consent of the gov' erned. Everything that can be handled by the student officers is turned over to them and permission as well as discipline cases are adequately handled by the bosses under the supervision of Dean Bernstorff. Mary fane Cornell of the Senior Class was president this past year. The traveling students, however, have a different type of problem because they come and go and conf tacts aren't so permanent. TRAVELING WOMEN'S COUNCIL is the sister organization of the traveling men's council and operf ates on practically the same subjects, but with the feminine touch-they have overstuffed ,furniture inf stead of benches. I'm sending a couple of pictures of the women's traveling room. I took them for the year book and they are extra prints. Oh, yes, I almost forgot, the president of the women's council is Kay Kennie from Belle Vernon. We went through there when we went home last week. Well I have a class to make now so I 'll close. Ter Sun 2l Dear Granny, COLLEGE PLAYERS certainly did a bangfup prof gram this year. They bounced from straight comedy to a touch of fantasy and came down the home stretch with a sophisticated satire. The new director, Miss Lotta Iune Miller, closed her first year with three definite hits: You Can't Take It With 'Yo-u, High Torf, and First Ladyf' Veterans and plebes turned in first rate perform' ances. In our opinion, the laurels were carried off by Bergie, Clod, Dudzak, Butler, Weber, and Helen Budzonaski. Ed Bergstein is their president. ALPHA PSI OMEGA membership is the goal of all the Thespians on the campus. Only the best of the actors and production staff make it. In Marcli they held a swanky tea for district high school drama coaches at the annual Drama Festival. Ed Ceglarz, ace production man, presides over the fraternity's meetings. IUNIOR PLAYERS is the first rung in the ladder to the honorary dramatic fraternity. This year, under the direction of Mr. E. Clayton McCarty, the club wrote, staged, and acted their onefact plays. The best of the plays were presented to the public in several evening performances. The three major productions of College Players were bolstered by outstanding funior Players playing supporting roles. The three dramatic organizations combine to sponf sor one of the hnest social functions of the year- the IuniorfCollege Players dinner-dance. There they announce the persons turning in the outstanding per' formances of the year, those receiving distinguished service awards and membership into Alpha Psi Omega, and the lucky actor or actress whose name enters the College Players Hall of Fame. 22 1 4 1 4-.4 X 24 L V K ,,,,, 4, Dear lim, I've been sending you copies of the school news' paper. Last week I took a few pictures and here are the prints. HAMMER AND TONGS work is pretty interest' ing to the people lined up behind the typewritersg at least there must be something to motivate work in hitting deadlines week after week. The staff is headed by Grayce Skinkis, managing editor, assisted by page editors, star reporters, cub reporters, and faculty ad' viser C. M. Hughey. The goal of the group is mem' bership in the Council of School Newspaper Advisers after five semesters labor on the paper. C. S. N. A. signijies certification for advisorship on any school newspaper staff. Council members receive a certificate and a gold key as well as a trip to various conferences for two members every year. All in all it's a goal worth working for. Beside getting ready for the annual dinner dance the council also advises budding journalists on the H. 59, T. That takes care of the news end.- MONOCAL work is a little different. It has one publication date. Advised by Mr. Hurst, the nucleus of the staff is chosen by the Iunior Class when they elect an editor and business manager. The remainder of the staff is chosen from the student body by the editor. George Roadman is editor this yearg Don Croushore is business manager. 25 Dear Dad, How about sending me an extra fve this week? I told you about making the Eastern States Conferf ence and we're leaving this week for four days at New York. THE HARRISBURG DELEGATION is led by chairman Ed Bergstein. Every year a different plan educates the forty odd delegations in some phase of government. Last year it was a model one house legisf lature. This year the conference takes the form of a model political conventiong but this group isn't the only one that makes trips. Every year at least five REPRESENTATIVE STUDENTS go to New 'York to the Eastern States Conference. Fifteen fel- lows and fifteen girls are selected by a studentffaculty poll on the basis of service to the school, scholarship, and a lot of other qualifications and from that group the delegates are chosen. One of the fellows I run around with here at school belongs to Dr. Keller's- DEBATE CLUB. Its major trip takes four boys out thru the eastern part of the state. This year the squad met debaters at Lock Haven, Su-squehena U., Kutzf town, Albright, and Shippensburg. Other trips in' cluded. debates at Fairmont, Slippery Rock, and Seton Hill while other colleges were met on the cam' pus. Early in the season a high school clinic was conf ducted. That's when I saw the gang from our high school. The club always winds up its season with a number of discussions before district service clubs and a banquet. Be that as it may-I still need the jive dollars. Affectionately, BILL I of expense j. 26 9 .. ny W- , 28 ,L Dear Mother, 'Your son is about to become a fraternity man. Not a raccoon coat wearing, pipe smoking fraternity man because- PHI SIGMA PI isn't that kind of an organization. The Kappa or C. S. T. C. Chapter promotes high ideals in the work of education setting a high scholar' ship and moral standard. Qaualihcations for memberf ship include a B average, leadership in campus activities, value to the school, and character. A feaf ture of this years work was a banquet held in the Georgian Dining Hall. Marcellus Kunkleman is presif dent of the group. C. B. Wilsoii is faculty sponsor. PI GAMMA MU is another of the campus fra' ternities. Wh.ile we don't have fraternity houses at California, we have the spirit. Pi Gamma Mu is an or' ganization for Social Studies Majors who have at' tained scholarship qualifications in the social studies field as well as leadership qualifications on the campus. Meetings of the group takes on an open' form aspect with speakers and listeners taking part in discussions. Arthur S. Gilmore, the faculty mem' ber who died recently was one of the founders of the Lambda chapter. Marie O'Brien is president. These organizations wouldn't interest you as much as this next group though so I 'll tell you a little about GAMMA PI CHI, the campus social organization for girls in which skill in the social graces may be acquired through experiences gained in social affairs held by the club. Of course' I 'm not a member but I do get some tea and tarts at their Christmas Tea and if my wife can learn to bake tarts like those by being a member of Gamma Pi Chi, more power to her. The only thing she'll need to do is make them a little more substantial. The girls also sponsor a musical, theater party, and some worth while projects such as dressing dolls for needy children. President of Gamma Pi Chi is Phoebe Miller. 29 Dear Mother, I wasnit around when you called last night because of our bridge club meeting. MONVALEA meets every Tuesday and this was a regular meeting and sort of special at that. We had our pictures taken for the yearbook. I ,m in the second row in the print I sent you with my mouth open and my eyes shut as usual. Some day someone will sneak up and take a good picture of me. Miss Pardoe is sponsor of the organization. Every year a couple of nice dinnerfbridge affairs are held. Mary lane Cor' nell is our president. IOHN A. BRASHEAR SOCIETY was photo' graphed at the same time that we were so I am send' ing their picture too. Dr. Cerlein, the sponsor, is my Physical Science prof. They hold regular meetings and each member gives a scientific report of some sort during the year. Pride of the society is their radio work, station WSUS, being licensed by the club. Henry Stefanik is president. MUSIC CLUB led by Clarence Andreoni and spon' sored by Dr. Charles Veon is the band of music lovers who voluntarily united to form a listening group. Every two weeks the club meets to hear and discuss the music of the masters. A worthwhile project is the constant adding to the college music library by pure chasing recordings of symphonies, operas, concerts as well as singers acclaimed throughout the world. 30 T 31 32 -L ir ir wi . Dear Sis, Here are some more prints that I made of some of the students. 'Y.M.C.A. is the campus chapter of the national or- ganization. The goal of the group is spiritual, intel- lectual and physical development united under a com' mon bond of fellowship. The fellows meet once a week and carry out a program schedule which inf cludes speakers selected from local school circles as well as church circles. Discussions ranging from preaching experiences of a local minister to a discus' sion of Hitler and the German government occupy profitable evenings. Arthur Cook is organization President. 'Y.W.C.A. is the sister organization of the 'Young Mens Christian Association. Beginning early in the year this group attempts to gain first place among the active campus organizations with its Big-Little Sis' ter Party which helps freshman girls become ac' quainted with upperclassmen. Under the leadership of Louise Snowberger, Vesper services, Christmas Caroling and other group activities served as a unify' ing force. This last picture probably interests you a little more. All that brawn lined up there is the VARSITY CLUB, representing the intercollegiate athletic competitors. Made up of lettermen, the feature of the year is an annual sports night with two teams play' ing basketball, two teams playing volley ball, two guys trying to knock the others head off, not to mention tumblers and ping pong players. Then to top it of there is a two hour period for dancing. To spend their gains of Sports Night the club throws a dinner-dance near the end of the year. Iohn Kudlik is th.e president. 33 Dear Sis, Music soothes the savage beast they say so I guess that's why California has the fine musical organizaf tions it does. THE MENS GLEE CLUB does a lot of soothing. Directed by E., E. Halstead it includes about fifty boys who every year sing a number of concerts and include a radio broadcast. This year the club made a tour of high schools in the Pittsburgh vicinity, making a hit with Gilbert and Sullivan's, 'iTrial by fury, Musical Trust, and Russel Troxel's bass horn solo. Howard Dressing is the president. THE WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB is also directed by Mr. Halstead. A unique home concert is always given. This year's L'Trip Around The World was no exception for pu-rich. President Edith McLaughf lin and the girls had the honor of presenting one of the most unique dances of the year in their Under the Sea cabaret ball. CAMERA CLUB also looks to the finer things of life. Led by Mr. Hurst, the group looks out for the Monocal, Hammer and Tongs, and other photograf phy needs on the campus. In addition much training is given in work in the dark room and with the camera. 34 35 I 36 4+ Dear lack, I was glad to hear that you got the rifle for your birthday that you wanted so much. The RIFLE CLUB here at school is very much inf terested in the same thing that you are-in other words--some fun, not injury with a rifle. The fel' lows hold matches and practice shoots throughout the year. Out of the marksmen in the club a varsity rifle team is chosen. Sponsored by Mr. Neagley, one of the professors, meetings are held and directed by the president of the Rifle Club, Elmer Rifle. All of the shooting is d-one in the basement of the Noss Demon.- stration School. The girls have a rifle team too, although it is in- corporated in the WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSO' CIATION. The large membership in that group divides its sports interest into a variety of events such as tennis, basketball, volleyball, folk dancing and many other different sports. Under the leadership of Miss Hildreth a system of interfcollegiate play day events are held with the local girls traveling to dis' trict colleges as well as sponsoring one ajfair of its own. That rifle will probably take you on many a jaunt in the country. The NATURE LORE CLUB would take care of a little practical education along those lines for Mr. Walker' and his group take many a trip in the study of nature. An invaluable aid in this line is the camp that the school maintains at Laurel Hill together with the Lilly Farm wh.ich is now being pre' pared for a game reserve. i 37 Dear Dad, We took a lot of pictures around school this year that I am sending and among them are a lot of prints of the students in the classes. Naturally the Senior Class is the leader as far as seniority is concerned. They have been here the longest and are more familiar with the way things are run. However, that last year is broken up for most Seniors as a result of Student Teaching, so perhaps the Iunior Class has as much influence as any. Sponf sor of the first formal dance of the year, there is usually a lot of activity among these class members. All of the classes, however, have dances during the year. The Sophomore Class holds the jirst informal early in the year and the Freshman hold theirs in February. I suppose that sounds like so much nonsense to you but its purpose outside of being purely social is more one of unification and class harmony than any' thing else. A big value is its education toward co' operation and in a democracy, that is what is needed. CLASSES 39 Dear Sis, I wanted you to see our class officers when you- were here but since you had to hurry away that was impossible. However, here are the pictures of not only my class but the other class officers as well. The Seniors picked Byron Hoon to guide them and it wasn't a new position for him as it was a reelection that put him in power. Byron was aided by lohn Kudlik, Don Higf bee, and Mary Cartwright who served as Secretary. The Freshmen -never get organized till later in the year but the elections saw Billy Surgeon chosen as president with Sally Maxwell, Bill Gass, and Olive Furlong picked along with him. The funior Class found themselves with' out a president at the beginning of the year due to the transfer of joseph Kelly to another school, but they did- have a vice president in lack Schwartz and other officers in Kay Ken' nie and Ena Cowen. and these three led the class through the Prom in December and other affairs later on. Another three person official staff was the Sophomore ofhcers group whose fourth mem' ber was lost due to a shift.

I still can't believe it is all of four years since I stood in the long line on registration day and tried to look mature when they took my picture. How bewildered I was. Of course, that wasn't half so bad as initiation, even though I didn't really mind my washedfout complexion and the armband-even the pigtails I I think Q and the boys sure had a work out then. If it hadn't been for that sign on my back I might never have met fack, but that's of the record. Speaking of records I shudder when I think how often we played GoodfNight My Love in the Provincial Room that year-at the dances too, even at the Frosh Frolic when I fell down the stairs and disgraced myself for life-I thought then. Nothing disastrous like that marred this year's Senior Ball K I am old enough now to control my feet. Q Art Giles and his C.B.S. Orchestra featured all the favorites of the year: Oh, Iohnnyf' The Little Red Fox, L'The Singing Hills, Does 'Your Heart Beat For Me, Indian Summer, Deep Purple, The Wiiid and the Rain In 'Your Hair and oh so many others. I 'm beginning to feel ancient, when I first came to California, Science Hall wasn't remodeled and the athletic field was on the rear campus where the new Industrial Arts Building and heating plant are now. We didn't have a swimming pool either-not even the Lilly Farm. I think I must have been a sophomore when Student Congress bought that-but look at it now. Farm Day has become a tradition. Our class has a lot to do with these improvements with all those gofgetters. I think we really have fulfilled our 46 pledge to pass on a better and more beautiful Calif fornia than was inherited by us. California has given me a lot-not only classes, fCf course, that-although I never worked as hard as I should have but Chapels, plays, and entertain' ments. I think that during the whole four years my votes for the best programs would go to Ted Shawn and his 'male dancers, then the Eva jessyc Choir, and then perhaps, Carl Sandburg. As for plays-there were so many good ones- Death 'Takes a Holiday and Craig's Wife, High Tor and First Lady. 'There are some things that I wouldn't want changed about C.S.T.C.: the Main Hall Towers, the clock over the bulletin board, the friendly way that everyone speaks to everyone else on the campus, and even the tulips bordering the front walk. I'm beginning to pack my stuff now and do a bird on the wing. I have a queer feeling that I'm going to miss Californiag it has become such a part of me. I'm actually getting sentimental.

Elementary VJINNIE M. VAN SIOKLE Smithield, Pa. Elementary 65 Dear Dad, Here are the pictures of the seniors who are receiving the reward for distinguished service to the college. I hope to win that honor when I am a senior. The idea. was started in order that the type of student which California aims to produce may be recognized. A selection is made annually of the outstanding man and woman of the graduating class. To these two will be given the California Distinguished Service Award, to be presented this year for the second time. The committee of selection, consisting of the deans of men and women, the president of the college, the dean of instruction, the director of teacher training, the sponsor of the senior class, and three faculty members to be appointed annually by the president, has this year chosen Mary Cartwright of Clairton and Marcellus Kunlqelmann, of Pittsburgh. To these two upon graduation will be presented a specially designed cer' tiyicate along with their diplomas. Selection has been made upon the basis of five points, citizenship, leadership, per' sonality, activities, and scholarship. V09 .,.. '--'S 1-9 a-F DISTINGUISHED SERVICE W -,puudi -rv- Dear fim, 'You inquired about those two fellows who grad' uated from high school with you. 'They are both here as well as some other people you ought to know so I'm sending you the entire class picture list. The whole gang is a nice one and I'm glad that I am in the class especially this year since we've done so many things. Of course the funior Prom was this year's high light. Frank Lombardo and his orchestra furnished the music and the affair was held in the large Georf gian Dining Room in Dixon Hall. Our class has always been a live one. Rex Brenne' man started the gang on that road as freshmen presif dent and foe Kelly took over as a sophomore. 'You met foe the time you visited here. He's the fellow with the model A Ford coupe, 1928 vintage, who was always rushing around about something or other. foe was reelected president of the funior Class but left school here to transfer to the University of Pitts' burgh. A lot of people missed him. fack Schwartz, vice president under Kelley and elevated to the presidency when foe left, had charge of the Prom and this year's affairs and everything went of without a hitch. 68 Athletics, plays, debates, politics, journalism, sci' ence and just plain fun combine to take up the time of the Butlers, Neels, Elders, Dressings, Holmolqs, Husemans, Millers, Normans, Bradleys, McDonf nells, etc. Student teaching affected the group somewhat this year when some of the funiors had their period of trouble moved -up a semester.

Athletics here isn't stressed as much as in most other schools. Operating on the theory that the original purpose of sports is to build good citizens physically and ethically, competition is only a minor factor and -so the winning of contests isn't the first aim. Athletics for all is instead more important and with this in mind everyone here participates in sports such as basketball, football, and tennis which by the way are the intercollegiate sports and wrestling, hand' ball, volleyball, mushball, boxing, and fencing, the nonfcompetitive sports. ' While physical activity for all is just a recent inf novation, yet the women in their athletic association have sponsored such a plan for years and this makes up a vital part of our program also. All in all an appropriate slogan is Sport for Fun, and with Clarence Grove, Elmer Schreiner and Miss Hildreth leading the way California goes right along with that as the goal. Imagine you will know some of the people in the pictures. Paste them all in the scrapbook. THLETICS 87 Dear Iack, Here are a few more pictures of the athletic staff that I picked up. The two managers and Coach Grove do a lot of work every year to get an athletic team of any kind on the field. Ray Kuhar was head basketball manager this year along with Art Wilson who helped manage the junior varsity squad. Long hours spent in the locker rooms and practically nurse ing the boys receives little actual reward altho an award similar to those given to the athletes is provided. 88 in i Below is a shot of the athletic council. This group does the policy setting of the setup and takes care of the other items such as schedule making and ticket provisions. This group is composed of a combined student faculty makeup and is a monument to a bet' ter cooperation between the students and facultyl. 89 Starting out on the right foot, the Grovemen took the measure of a fighting Edinboro eleven on the opening day game when Gladys intercepted an enemy heave to score the only score of the game. With this first victory hanging from their belts the Grovemen turned to Westmirister in their sec' ond game on foreign soil only to suffer a I9 to 0 trouncing at enemy hands. Even defeat has its bright spots as Iimmy Kearns smashed his way through a tough Westminster line for valuable California yardage. Still on the road a somewhat depressed group of Vulcan footballers journeyed out of the state to Fair' mont, West Virginia, to meet the West Virginia teachers. Nothing was found out of the state to make them feel any better for Fairmont won, though only to the tune of 7 to 6, with the hosts intercepting a pass for their marker and the Vulcans coming back in the final quarter for their score. Then West Liberty in the annual Dads' Day tilt took the measure of the Red and Black by the healthy score of 28 to 7 with the only local thrill coming when Buvit razzlefdazzled his way to an 85 yard pay' drive with Holmok scoring the hnal period touch' down. 90 EDINBORO WESTMINSTER FAIRMONT WEST LIBERTY CLARION GROVE CITY INDIANA SLIPPERY ROCK Coming back the next week the Grovers met a championship Clarion team at the Monessen stadium and battled four periods to come out on the short end of a 27 to 6 count. Elliots' swivelfhipped ground play featured, with fate intervening to prevent two additional scores by the Vulcan ace. Grove City appeared on the scene with a less aus' picious record than the Vulcans but went home with the locals' scalps by a score 19 to O. Speaking of scalps, Indiana's Indians did a little scalping in the Armistice Day tilt at Brownsville. Score--Indiana 19, California 6. Witli competition improving with every game, the Vulcans were lucky that Slippery Rock was the finale as evidenced by the 52 to O score that was chalked up to one of the most disastrous seasons in years for the local football team. VI Here's a picture of coach and the 'varsity basket' ball team. I am also sending some individual shots of some of the games+and boy were these some real games played in old Herron Hall. I sat or rather jumped up and down many evenings and afternoons as the two teams cavorted on the hard wood even though the local boys usually came out on the short end of the score. I think I really gave more than the players in that Edinboro game because I didn't think I could stand it when they had to play extra time.-And you should have seen the crazy people when C. S. T. C. won. I think one game like that is worth at least five losses. I couldn't get all of the fel' low's pictures. Snooky Elliots' isn't in this list nor, I elewe believe, in ehe football nee. 92 Dear lim: I clon't have time to write much of a letter because I have to do some makeup work for that I missed while I was away on the basketball trip. We didn't have much of a season but we had a lot of fun. Here is a resume of the season that appeared in the Ham' mer and Tongs. VJ hen the Vulcan cagers returned horne last Sunf day after being set back by the Shippensburg and Millersville passers, the curtain went down on the 1940 basketball season. Sixteen games have been played this season and the record book is chalked up with four wins and 12 defeats for a percentage of .25O. Last year's record showed fve wins and 11 defeats for a percentage of .312 . 94 The Grovernen have only one double win this sea' son, that being over Clarion and were handed double setfbacks by Slippery Rock, Indiana, Frostburg and Fairmont. Although Slippery Rock handed the Vulcans their greatest defeat, the locals were at their worst when the season started. Of the first six games played the Red and Black were able to capture but one contest, a victory over Clarion 44 to 38. Individual scoring records show lim Clutter to be way ahead of his team mates in the number of points scored with 151. Following him is fohn Lubelga with 128. Foul shooting honors go to john Utterback who sank 32 out of 44 for a percentage of .727.

GILMORE 100 F I Dear Mother, It's funny about life. Here you see a person doing a good work and enjoying life and then suddenly powers beyond our control takes him and his work is stopped. We lost Mr. Gilmore from the faculty this year. He had been here at California a long time and had left his imprint in many places. Pi Gamma Mu, the Student Loan Fund, and the Student Activities As' sociation all received much from Pop and those who have taken up the load since he has gone will benefit by his work as many have benefited before. But the final call isn't confined to the older genera' tion either for the Senior, funior, and Sophomore Classes each lost a member. Bernard Dal Canton, Anna Luchik, and Herman Zeiders are still fresh in the memories of the many who knew them. 'You know, mother, the Indians believed that those who went on merely journeyed to a bright land where they hunted and fished or did that which they best loved to do. I like to think that Mr. Gilmore and the others are doing what they would want most to do and if I knew Mr. Gilmore that would be teaching and Bernard, Anna, and Herman would be right along beside himg each. one deep in the field of educaf tion that they had chosen. 101 Dear Patrons, U have to say that to include everyone even if it is a stiff and stilted wordfl 'You have just completed one persons, efforts at building a year book. It has been worry, work, and fun all wrapped in one big bundle. Mistakes have been made and not all of them remedied, some the fault of the staff and some indirectly yours. The educational value of such a job as this is a great one and one which will be long remembered. If it will do any good just remember that the next time an editor, a class president, or a faculty member asks for some little job to be done-do it. I know it will help a lot. From many sources this years book has received much aid and from many sources none. Among the former and stand' ing out is the cofoperation of Bill Troutman and Bill Cvadd of the Canton Engraving Company. Not to be forgotten is the aid from Mr. Wicks and his staff of the Pittsburgh Print' ing Company and Pinky', and Len Brown of Zamsky Studios. On Campus here at California Mr. Hurst, Nfary Cart' wright, Marie O'Brien, Grayce Skinkis, Ed Bergstein, Iim Butler, and Don Croushore stepped to the front when the pressure was on. It is to these people, that credit for the 1940 Moriocal is due. 'Yours sincerely, GEORGE ROADMAN 102 Originality is a quality of the imagination. lt is the abil- ity to take the usual elements of picture and story and present them to your student body in a new, different and interesting fashion. Our School Service organization has long been noted for its true originality in Year Book planning. if Y L' 'tr i M dsc' q, , 5 il W 103 wig I WIIEQUIIEH PWNIINE Company . . general Commercial Trintem' and ?ubZZJbe1f.r C9567 CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED CONCERNING YOUR PRINTING REQUIREMENTS 530-534 FERNANDO STREET - PITTSBURGH, PENNA K xx 104 '-r Y'-3 A --52 - ,, M, '-if-F, hw I 1
