CHANDLER Graduates : This is a time of great adventure for you. Leaving the sheltered halls of college to teach is like going into a new country. These fears and thrills you are now experiencing will in later years be remembered by you as among the greatest of your life. I foresee for you a teaching career in one of the most stirring p2riod of history. Radio, talking moving pictures, two world wars, a revolution in transportation, progressive education, mass production, aviation, dic- tatorships, football stadiums, and motor buses, have all come in the last twenty-five years, and the chances seem good that even greater changes will come in the next twenty-five years. I suggest that all of you pledge yourselves to return twenty-five years hence and talk over the things that have happened in that time. A Q- f Helen M. B; Nelle H. Ford larton Charles F.

Throughout his four years schooling, he has earned four letters in football. He was only one hundred and fifty-five pounds in weight; but he had the sticking quality and fight that was necessary. Charlie also featured in intramurals, participating in most of the ac- tivities. In his four years, Shorty has been vice-president of Inter- national Relations Club, a member of Pi Gamma Mu, sec- retary of the Zeta Eta Phi fra- ternity, and a member of Varsity C Club. He also holds the position as day watchman of the campus. Between four and five o ' clock of every day you can see him making his final rounds. CHESTER BYERLY The gen ial president of our Class of 1940 is an outstanding personality on the campus with a keen sense of humor, genuine friendliness, and an enviable scholastic record. Chet came to Clarion after one year at Allegheny College. Here he has served as editor of the CALL, member of the Stu- dent Senate, Inter-fraternity Council, Press and International Relations Clubs. Chester ' s Greek background was obtain- ed through membership in Alpha Phi Alpha, Pi Gamma Mu, and Phi Sigma Pi. He will enter the teaching profession with majors in the social studies and English. The nature of the discussion in which he frequently finds himself is evidence of his inter- est in politics. Our best wishes to you, Chester, for success in everything you undertake. LEROY CARLSON Swede hails from Oil City, Pennsylvania. At one time or another the College Players, A Capella Choir, International Re- lations Club, Press Club, Y. M. C. A. and the Varsity C have called him their own. He is a charter member and officer of the Zeta Eta Phi social fratern- ity. This industrious and fun-lov- ing fellow has made many friends through his ever-ready helping hand. His major studies have been English and mathe- matics. He is going out to be come the World ' s Best school teacher. HELEN DEILY MARGARET DONAHUE HOWARD DUNKLE Editor of the 1940 SEQUELLE. Helen certainly has made good use of her time spent at college. She has belonged to the Press Club, Hostess Club, Y. W. C. A., A Capella Choir, W. A. C, and Delta Sigma Epsilon sorority. Her majors are Latin and Eng- lish. Because of her outstanding acting ability, she has had three major roles in Seven Sisters, The Night of January Six- teenth and Stage Door, and has been awarded membership in the national honorary frater- nity. Alpha Psi Omega. Her smile and her personality will take her far. Peggy is a resident of Franklin, Pennsylvania. Besides her interest in co-education and a young man named Paul, she likes sports of all kinds, music, hiking, and elementary work. Peggy doesn ' t belong to all the college organizations, but she has been a member of Women ' s Athletic Council for three years, president of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority, member of the Women ' s Student Coun- cil, Outdoor Club, College Or- chestra, Association for Child- hood Education, Hostess Club, and Panhellenic Council. She has been our time-keeper for the N. Y. A. work and has been faithful in the performance of her duties. Howard, better known as Dunkle , has been attracted to Clarion by the various activities which are offered in physical education. Many memories will be left to the day students by Dunkle this year, of which the most important are his speeches given in the day student ' s room and the fine fight he has put up in his student teaching. Dunkle hails from Tylersburg, Pennsylvania, a graduate from Farmington High school. Among his best interests are sports, especially boxing. He has been a member of the Geo- graphy Club, Zeta Eta Phi fra- ternity, Theta Nu Epsilon, and has participated in intramurals. He does not worry about get- ting a job teaching school. The secret? Dunkle is going to marry a superintendent ' s daughter. An idea, fellows! 194C SENIORS 1 i« d ' THE DELIA FILLMAN Mrs. Delia Fillman hails from St. Petersburg. Everyone on our campus knows and will remem- ber her for her pleasing and cooperative attitude toward both students and teachers. She is a graduate in the ele- mentary field and has finished her work in the secondary field with her major in English. She is a straight A student. She likes teaching and claims it ranks first on her list of prefer- erences. Her hobby is reading. Delia is a very active member of the Geography Club, and of the Sequelle Staff. GRACE GILES If she ' s the center of a laugh- ing group, if she ' s the willing chaser for your library book, if she ' s a tactful student coun- cil member reminding you to be quiet, or if she ' s counting her A ' s by the dozens, — she ' s Gracie. Making Perry good use of her time, she has been secretary and treasurer of the Delta Sig- ma Epsilon sorority, dormitory and council presidents, and leader in Press Club. Having unusual dramatic ability, she belongs t o Alpha Psi Omega and has played leading roles in The Show Off and Seven Sisters. Her success in the field of mathematics and English can be taken for granted, for she has a wealth of qualities mak- ing for success. HOMER HORNER Homer is a resident of Clarion and a graduate of Clarion High School. His majors are social studies and English, his main interest is politics, along with music and Ann Sheridan. He is a member of International Rela- tions Club, the Swing Trio, and a charter member of Zeta Eta Phi fraternity. Homer participat- ed in basketball and intramural sports. The football fans were ably entertained by his rapid- fire announcing at the games last year. CHARLES KROH PAUL LEHMAN PERRY LEWIS Charlie came to C.S.T.C. after two years at Grove City Col- lege. He wasted no time in mak- ing good here, for his ability soon gained him membership in Alpha Psi Omega and Pi Gamma Mu. His academic in- terests are social studies, sci- ence, and English, plus mem- bership in College Players and the International Relations Club. He has done a commend- able job as business manager of this Sequelle, and has distin- guished himself by his use of concise, well-turned phrases in practice teaching. Paul is always seen with his inseparable s i d e - k i c k , Bob Shriver. Born in Clarion, he re- ceived his high school educa- tion here. He is a man of var- ied interests who has earned enough money at service sta- tion work and bottle packing to educate himself and support Mrs. Lehman and daughter. Yet he has time to hunt, ski, hike, swim, and to do lathe work in his cellar. He is active in intramurals, ge ography, and industrial clubs, Y. M. C. A., and is now president of Alpha Phi Alpha and treasurer of Phi Sigma Pi fraternities. Perry, a Clarion lad, is a graduate of Clarion High School. Perry spent one year at Indiana, then transferred to Clarion State Teachers College. His majors are English, social studies, and music. He is a member of College Players, the Swing Trio, International Rela- tions Club, and Zeta Eta Phi fra- ternity. Besides Gracie Giles, Perrys main interests are ping- pong and the Treymore Club Orchestra. Perry likes music and is probably the most ver- satile musician on the campus. 1 94C SENICCS THE BETTY McCUE Betty has participated in many college activities of vari- ous types, during her four years at Clarion She has been an outstanding member of the International Relations Club, of College Players, of the Young Women ' s Christian As- sociation, and of Delta Sigma Epsilon, a national educational sorority. She has been awarded membership in Alpha Psi Ome- ga, a national honorary dra- matic fraternity, because of her ability in acting. Betty ' s dependability and her spirit of cooperation are cer- tainly assets. A great deal is ex- pected of you, Betty. RAY MANSON Ray hails from Rouseville where he lives and has taught for several years. He completed his work in the Secondary field the first semester with majors in social studies, geography, and English. Ray was an active member of College Players and International Relations Club. Photography is his hobby and the Sequelle is indebted to him for most of the candid camera shots and some other pictures which appear in this book. It isn ' t necessary to wish him suc- cess; he has it. JAMES MEYERS Jim, hailing from Kane, has been a popular boy on the col- lege campus. He has won the distinction of being one of our best athletes. Jim is interested in sports and expects some day to coach a team of his own. He has been a very valuable man on both the football and the basketball squads and was captain of the football and co- captain of the basketball teams this past year. Jim is a mem- ber of the Zeta Eta Phi fratern- ity. His majors are geography and social studies. SAMUEL MONTANA Samuel Montana, better known as Sam, hails from Rim- ersburg. He hopes some day to be a Doctor of Divinity. He is friendly, likes to tease, and is interested in philosophy and re- ligion. Sam enjoys reading, talking aloud in the library, mu- sic and poetry, but he hates wine and profanity. Sam has taken an active part on the campus. He is a member of the Art Club, Geography Club, and Zeta Eta Phi fraternity. Sam was interested in sports until he boxed with a certain student! He took part in religious work both on and off the campus, be- ing president of the Y. M. C. A. on the campus, and president of the young people of Clarion County, District Four. Sam has majors in social studies and sci- ence. With his sincerity and progressive nature, he should be a success. JOHN MOONEY EVA MURDOCK The petite pride of Bracken- ridge is known on the campus as Ev. She is interested in hiking, volley-ball, basketball, hockey, tobogganing and is a member and past president of the Outdoor Club and Women ' s Athletic Council. She represent- ed the student body in the Women ' s Student Council and Student Senate. Sigma Delta Phi claims her as a member. Ev ' s magnetic personality has won her many friends. Any community will find her a good sport and a real leader. 1 94C SENIORS THE JACK REED Jack is a well known student on our campus. Before coming to Clarion he was graduated from Clarion High School. Jack is known to most of us around here as the guitar player for the Swing Trio. While at- tending school here he has been a member of the A Cap- pella Choir, International Rela- tions Club, College Players, and the Alpha Phi Alpha social fra- ternity. Next year we shall prob- ably see Jack teaching mathe- matics and science in some nearby high school. CARL RENNELLS Those who know Carl find him to be a consistent friend, always ready to cooperate in activities. He has the gualities that will make him a success in his chosen profession. Social studies, English, and mathe- matics are his academic prefer- ences. Before transferring to Clarion State Teachers College, Carl was an active member of the New York State Students Forum and served on his college year- book staff, the Chesbronian. Since coming here he has been active as president of both Pi Gamma Mu and International Relations Club, and was elected this year to membership in Phi Sigma Pi. RACHEL RENNELLS Rachel came to us this year as a member of the senior class, her previous work having been done at Mansfield State Teachers College. We suspect a secret motive for her selection of Clarion for the place in which to finish her degree. Carl would be the one to ask about that. Besides taking care of her husband, her hobbies are na- ture study and art. Her activi- ties include Geography Club, International Relations Club, and membership iin Pi Gamma Mu. For academic interests she chooses social studies and Eng- lish with a major in the elemen- tary field. LUCILLE SEIGWORTH Lucille is the girl with the friendly smile. She has spent four years as the Call typist, not to mention her fine work for the Sequelle. Lu- cille is a social studies and English major with French as her minor academic interest. She is a member of the Press Club, Internation- al Relations Club, and holds offices in the Pan- Hellenic Council and in the Sigma Sigma Sig- ma Sorority. Her con- scientious attitude and efficiency as a teacher are bound to bring her recognition. ROBERT SHRIVER Bob, whose insep- arable pal is Paul Lehman, is a product of Washington, and has a scholastic record that should make his home town proud of him. He has been active in fra- ternities, being presi- dent of the Phi Sigma Pi and treasurer of the Alpha Phi Alpha; has been a member of the industries and geogra- phy clubs, a cabinet member of the Y. M. C. A. and secretary-treas- urer of our senior class. His interests are varied, ranging from the stock market to a young lady named Mary. Bob ' s majors are science and mathematics. We are sure he will go far in educational work. MARSHALL TEETS Marshall is a well- known figure on the Clarion campus. This tall, good-natured lad is a graduate of Turtle Creek High School. During his attendance at Clarion, he has been active in athletics, being a letter man in both football and bas- ketball. He is a mem- ber of the A Capella Choir, the Outdoor Club, and Alpha Phi Alpha social fraternity. Marshall would like to coach athletics when he graduates from Clarion. CLARE YOTTER Although Clare just came last year, she has proved to be a neces- sary part of our Senior Class. She first became a figure in Clarion ' s lime-light after her me- morable lead as Karen Andre in The Night of January 16th. She is a member of College Players, Ae- sociation for Childhood Education, International Relations Club and Women ' s Student Council. Her outstand- ing achievements in- clude being President of Delta Sigma Epsilon and business manager of Alpha Psi Omega. Clare likes library science, dramatics, long hikes, sorority initiations, and red cur- tains. Her pet aversions are getting up first in the morning, fire drills, and house meetings. 94C SENICCS PCST-eCADL lTCS ANNA MARY FOX Anna Mary Fox, one of Clar- ion ' s songsters, was graduated from Rimersburg High School in 1935. Anna Mary is a post grad- uate student, now doing work in the elementary and library science fields, which she will complete during the summer session. Anna Mary received her Bachelor of Science degree in secondary education in sci- ence, history, and English in 1939. She is extremely interest- ed in music and is a member of the Girls ' Chorus and the Sextette. MORGAN JONES Morgan returned as a post- graduate and set the students to cheering and laughing as they haven ' t done in years. Some of his antics as cheer leader at football games will be long remembered. After grad- uating from C. S. T. C. in 1938 he went to the University of Ne- braska and worked toward his master ' s degree in geography and administration. He is now taking elementary education and is active in music, dra- ma tics. Alpha Phi Alpha, and Phi Sigma Pi. MAE STEWART Mae Stewart, a graduate of Rimersburg High school, came back to Clarion this year after a year of substituting in Porter Township Consolidated School. Mae is noted for her industri- ousness and dependability. She should be a successful teacher through her thorough mastery of subject matter and business- like way in which she demon- strates her knowledge and prac- tice of educational methods. Her ertra-curricular activities included secretaryship of Pi Gamma Mu and membership in International Relations Club and Association of Childhood Education. The educated man is a man with certain subtle spiritual qualities which make him calm in adversity, happy when alone, just in his dealings, ra- tional and sane in all the affairs of life.

There is one active and one silent member from each of these sororities. Miss Boyd is the guide and faculty advisor. The various sororities cooperate in selling candy every Friday evening, and at all home games. The first social function of the year was a tea, which was held on October 3. All the women students on the campus were invited, and the old and new became acguainted. The annual Pan-hellenic dinner was held on February 15. Everything was carried out for St. Valentine ' s Day. The president. Miss Eva Hagerty, presided very graciously. Girls from each sorority participated in the entertainment. The Pan-hellenic dance was held April 13. To this dance were invited sorority women living in the community who were affiliated with any na- tional sorority, also the sponsors and patronesses. The officers for the first semester were: President, Eva Hagerty, Theta Alpha Lambda; secretary, Lucille Seigworth, Sigma Sigma Sigma; treasurer, Kathleen Snyder, Delta Sigma Epsilon; for the second semester: President, Marylou Gourley, Lambda Chi Delta; secretary, Gladys Brown, Sigma Delta Phi; and treasurer, Kathleen Snyder, Delta Sigma Epsilon. Alpha Zeta chapter of Delta Sigma Epsilon has proved to be an active group throughout this school year. The delegates who attended the twenty-fifth anniversary conclave of Delta Sigma Epsilon held in Cincinnati, returned with many ideas for sorority pro- grams and projects. They also brought back the Genevieve Schmidt Memorial plaque. Alpha Zeta chapter has received it a second time for having the highest scholarship average among the chapters of Delta Sigma Epsilon. Early in the fall, seven of last year ' s pledges were initiated. Then came the biggest event of the year, the rush party. The Delta Sigs were successful in pledging seven new girls. The Delta Sigma Epsilon sorority not only has many social activities but it has also an active interest in social service work. The greatest accomplish- ment of the year was the assistance given in the Red Cross membership drive. This year Alpha Zeta was a member of the organization. As other social DELTA SIG HA CPSILCN service activities the girls gave their annual Christmas party for the kinder- garten children, and some of the girls also took charge of the entertainment program at a Christmas party for underprivileged children, which was spon- sored by the Women ' s Club. Included in the social activities was a Christmas party given in honor of the pledges at the home of an alumna. Another event was a skating party given by Betty Paddock at the home of her aunt, Mrs. David Kaufman. In the early spring, the chapter was entertained both by the pledges and by the patronesses. A party was given in honor of Geraldine Thorne, a graduate of ' 39 who won the Delta Sigma Epsilon scholarship ring for having the highest scholastic standard among the thirty-two chapters of Delta Sigma Epsilon. An important social event of the late spring was the reception given in honor of the new officers. Officers for the year were: President, Clare Yotter; vice-president, Kathleen Snyder; corresponding secretary, Grace Louise Giles; recording secretary, Louise Courson; and treasurer, Betty McCue. cm DELTA In 1931, a group of local girls organized the local, social Lambda Chi Delta sorority. This sorority has continued to be one of the most active on the campus. Early last fall. Miss Ford became the new sponsor. Then began plans for the annual rush dinner which was in the form of an Hawaiian Party. The fol- lowing girls later were initiated: Leah Bessey, Pauline Davis, Joyce Erickson, Eleanor Freas, Betty June Hartle, Patty Smathers, Jane Vail, Peggy Yorke and Anna Marie Verderose. The social activities of the sorority included a skating party at the local rink, several outings at Mrs. Samuel Wilhelm ' s and Mary Joye Jones ' s camps, a swimming party at Brookville, and a Valentine party given by our patron- esses. The summer reunion of all alumnae and actives took place at camp, at Eaglehurst Beach in Erie. The officers for the year were: President, Pauline Shumaker; vice-president, Kathryn Whitehill; secretary, Eleanor Saul; and treasurer, Unithea Stack. In spite of the Sigma Delta Phi ' s numbering the unlucky thirteen when the active members assembled last fall, the girls have had an eventful year. An outstanding rush party was the Winter Carnival held in the Coffee Shop. A birthday anniversary party was held at the home of their faculty advisor. Miss Nair. The spring party given by the patronesses was another leading event on the social calendar. The annual alumnae luncheon, a pajama parade, a skating party, a theater party, and outings at Wilson ' s Woods were among the other social functions of the sorority. They also have happy recollections of two weeks ' camping at Waldameer Beach, Lake Erie, the past summer. SIGMA DELTA Plil The officers for the past year have been: First semester: President, Louise Hess; vice-president, Louise Jones; secretary, Lorraine Miller; treasurer, Helen Williams; Second semester: President, Lorraine Miller; vice-president. Ruby Ellenberger; secretary, Lillian Hosey; and treasurer, Dorothy Shaffer. The sorority is looking forward for next year to be a gala one when they will celebrate their tenth anniversary. SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA Sigma Sigma Sigma started the school year with a picnic in Wilson ' s Woods, given by Miss Gamble, the advisor. Mrs. Long and Mrs. Kuhner were present to enjoy this outing. A most delightful dinner was given by our patronesses — Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Long, Mrs. Kuhner and Mrs. Fitzgerald, at Mrs. Kuhner ' s home. The annual rush party was held November 29 at an old-fashioned one room school house. Those present were instructed in the fine art of dunking. As a result of this party nine new girls were pledged: Jean Kerr, Edna Ahlgrim, Betty Brenan, Eleanor Ruth Eisaman, Roberta Paisley, Mary Hamilton, Doris Seig- worth, Helen Bumham and Randalyn Radaker. Miss Gamble gave the actives and alumnae a tea at which our patronesses were present. At Christmas time, the members packed a complete dinner for a needy family in Clarion to foster Christmas cheer in their home. They have also redecorated the sorority room. The officers for the past year were; President, Margaret Donahue; vice- president, Lucille Seigworth; recording secretary, Audrey Ruth Barnes; corre- sponding secretary, Romaine Jones; treasurer, Ruth Barr, and sentinel; Ruth Lehner. The Theta Alpha Lambda ' s started an active year with a picnic at Wilson ' s Woods. Another picnic, with the Sigma Delta Phi ' s and a Homecoming tea for the alumnae filled the social calendar till rush-week. The rush party was an informal Thanksgiving dinner at the Coffee Shoppe. Soon after, the following girls were pledged: Betty Henry, Lois Milliron, Mary Ogorchock, Constance Rousseau, Clara Trimble, and Marian Williams. The enlarged group enjoyed a skating party which was followed by a luncheon at the home of Mr. Becker on January 10. A few weeks later, the new girls met the active alumnae at a tea given by Miss Carlson, the Theta sponsor. THETA ALPHA LAME DA The members are deeply grateful to Mr. Becker for the lovely tea service he presented to them as well as for the kind personal interest he has taken in the sorority. They also appreciate very much the silver spoons given us at Christmas time by Miss Carlson. The officers for this year were: First semester: President, Jean Lindquist; vice-president, Mary Marino; secretary, Janet James; and treasurer, Nancy Porter; Second semester: President, Jeane Lindquist; vice-president, Janet James; secretary, Jean Brosius; and treasurer, Mary Marino. Pan-hellenic representatives were Eva Hagerty (active) and Florence Brum- berg (silent). ALPHA PSI €AiEeA The Alpha Upsilon Cast of Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fraternity, is composed of College Players who have won recognition through exceptional work in plays, stage managing, and costuming and make-up efficiency. This year we had the special honor of being hosts to the twenty casts within our tri-state district: West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. This was the second convention in our area and one which set a precedent for enthus- iasm and attendance. The program, being one which fulfilled the needs of every case, included speakers who were contacted through well-known dra- matic schools, some plays given by our brother casts to represent new phases and ideas in dramatics, and social events which included a banquet and a dance. One of the unusual parts of the program was the exhibition of the different casts ' adoptions or inventions which related to costume design, make-up, sound effects, or stage properties illustrating What Can Be Done With Little Money. We are grateful to the College Players for helping us to carry out the program and making it fulfill the expectation of each tri-state cast. The officers of Alpha Psi Omega are: Cast Director, Charles Kroh; busi- ness manager, Clare Yotter; and stage manager, Frank Malloy. The Inter-fraternity Council was organized last year in an attempt to relieve friction among the three social fraternities. The council sonsists of six members (two from each fraternity) and a faculty adviser. The meetings are irregular. The board convenes only when necessary to settle problems and to decide on future activity. By adopting and successfully carrying out a system of fraternity pledging by ballot, the council remedied a situation which had caused much dissention in past years. The annual inter-fraternity dance was also supervised by this group and carried out in a very harmonious and business-like manner. All three fraternities agreed that the council was a very useful and worth- INTER- PCATERNIXy CCLNCIL while agency for inter-fraternity relations. Present indications are that the Inter- fraternity Council has become a permanent and indispensible feature of the fraternity organization on the campus. The members of the council this year were: Robert McKenzie and Kenneth Rodgers of Alpha Gamma Phi; Perry Lewis and John Mooney of Zeta Eta Phi; Chester Byerly, Merton McKendree, and Marshall Teets of Alpha Phi Alpha. Mr. Kuhner was the faculty adviser. ALPHA Plil ALPHA April 1940 marks the tenth anniversary of Alpha Phi Alpha, one of the oldest Greek organizations on the campus. Plans have progressed to turn the annual DuBois banquet into an anniversary celebration. The annual rush party was held in Harvey Gymnasium; the informal initiation was held at Camp Cofiman, and initiation ceremonies were com- pleted with the formal functions in Founders Hall on the campus. Last August, according to custom, the fraternity spent a week at North Gerard on Lake Erie. The following men were accepted as candidates for membership: Harry Etzel, Edward Dougherty, Paul Kapp, Paul Rush, Charles Sheridan, De Wayne Slaugenhaupt, Lawrence Snitzer, Merle Wolcott, John Wetzel and Bill Paup. Paul Lehman, president; Robert Jewell, vice-president; Robert Shriver, mone- tarius; John Mohney, recording scribe; and Stanley Klepfer, corresponding scribe, were the officers during the year. Our faculty members are Dr. Cordier, Mr. Becker, Mr. Kuhner and Mr. Manson. The 1939-40 school year found the Alpha Gamma ' s with fifteen of last year ' s members to begin its tenth year of progress. The first social function of the year occurred on September 25 at Camp Coffman. The next social event was a rush party held in the Gymnasium on November 13, at which eleven pledges were received. The following were accepted as members: James Buzard, Bill Worrell, Bill Nadolen, Bob Mortland, Al Natzke, James Harvey, Adam DeFlaviano, Bill Solonchak, Dick Mayers, Bob Sproat and Bliss Zener. The concluding event of the first semester was a Christmas party on December 17, at Dr. Peirce ' s home, to which all new pledges were invited. ALPHA GAM HA Another outstanding social event of the year was the inter-fraternity dance held on March 30. The climax of all social events was the fraternity banquet held near the end of the school year. The opening of school found Bob McKenzie, president; Bill Bratkovich, vice- president; Kenneth Rodgers, historian; Leo McDonald, secretary; and Al Andreo, treasurer. The chairs for the second semester were held by Bill Brat- kovich, president; Al Andreo, vice-president; Clyde Pence, historian; Buck Bole, secretary; and Bob McKenzie, treasurer. Plil PI Phi Sigma Pi is a national, honorary, educational fraternity, admittance to which is governed by superior scholarship standing plus a professional interest in education. The fraternity has been established at eighteen other colleges, including chapters at seven of our sister teacher colleges. Lambda Chapter here at Clarion was established in 1930. At the beginning of the school year, Lambda Chapter had ten active mem- bers: Chester Byerly, Robert Shriver, Paul Lehman, Morgan Jones, Lawrence Thurman, Professor Becker, Doctor Peirce, Professor Manson, Doctor Cordier and Doctor Chandler. On January 31, the following members were initiated into the chapter: John Hughey, Ivan Johns, Robert Jewell, Donald Hess, Richard Hartman and Theodore Williams. This year ' s activities included bi-monthly business and professional meet- ings. The chapter was fortunate in securing several prominent district educa- tors to speak at the professional meetings. Because this was Lambda Chapter ' s tenth anniversary, the annual Founder ' s Day banquet was an auspicious event. It was held during May and served as the social highlight as well as fitting climax of the year ' s work. The officers for the year were: President, Robert Shriver; vice-president, Lawrence Thurman; secretary, Morgan Jones; corresponding secretary, Chester Byerly; and treasurer, Paul Lehman. The 1939-40 school year found the Zeta Eta Phi haternity celebrating its third year of growing strength and popularity. The fraternity was organized by members who are graduating this spring. They are leaving an organization grateful to them for its founding. During the football season, the Zeta ' s put up a lean-to and provided re- freshments at all home games. The basketball season found them with the novel idea of selling pencils on which the basketball schedule was printed. The date of the rush party was the sixteenth of November. The freshmen were entertained at the chapel and old gymnasium by a stage performance and a carnival. Pledging soon followed and nineteen men were honored with the red and white ribbon. An informal initiation was held at Cook Forest, where the pledges had a warm reception. The formal initiation took place on December 18 in Science Hall. The officers were: President, Rowland Lewis; vice-president, Leroy Carlson; secretary, Charles Beskid; and treasurer, John Mooney. n e AM HA ML and ■NTEC- NATICNAL CELATICNS CLUC Pi Gamma Mu is an honorary scholastic organization which selects for its members those who have a professional interest in the social studies. The local chapter, under the title, Iota, is but a branch of a national organization with many illustrious men of this particular field as members. Local member- ship is voted to Juniors who have completed twenty semester hours of social studies work with an average grade of B, and who evince a wholesome pro- fessional interest in the field of social studies. Early in the year Mr. E. C. Ramsey, well known traveler and lecturer spoke to the group; later. Dr. Andrew W. Cordier, of Manchester College, spoke on European affairs. The Town Hall of the Air program has been used a number of times, interspersed with a debate on the question of Isolation on one occasion, and a panel discussion on Balkan Politics on another occasion. Pi Gamma Mu has for its officers this year: Carl Rennells, president; secre- tary-treasurer, Mae Stewart; sergeant-at-arms, Robert Jewell. This organization is coordinated with, and functions through, the International Relations Club, by means of a president who serves in the same capacity for both organiza- tions. The other officers of the International Relations Club in addition to the president are: vice-president, Charles Beskid; secretary-treasurer, Betty McLaughlin; and sergeant-at-arms, William Cadman. Membership in this club is limited only to those who are interested in lively and worth-while discussions of current world affairs. There have been many interesting programs put on by the members of the group this year with a resulting growing attendance and general interest. CLUBS STUDENT SENATE According to the preamble of the Constitution of the Community Govern- ment Association its purpose is to promote st udent responsibihty, increase student-faculty cooperation, and enrich college life. Annually elections are held to choose the twelve members who will represent the college in the Senate for the coming year. These members consist of three from the women resident students, three from the men resident students, three from the women day students, and three from the men day studnts. The officers elected for this year were: Pauline Shumaker, president; LeRoy Carlson, vice-president; and Eleanor DeWald, secretary-treasurer. From the Senate and faculty, committees are appointed to prepare the social calendar for the year, to plan chapel programs, to arrange student wel- fare, and to perform other necessary duties. The Senate superintends activities for Parents ' Week-end, and draws up rules for freshman initiation. It has purchased a gramophone for the social room in Becht Hall. This year our Senate has sent representatives to confer- ences of student governing bodies of other colleges and universities held at Lock Haven State Teachers College, Pennsylvania State College, and New York University. This group is the governing body of all the dormitory girls. It is the duty of the Women ' s Student Council to enforce all rules and regulations, to make necessary rules to secure the best conduct in student life, and to promote a home-like atmosphere in considering the personal problems of each individual. The members are elected by the students and are under the supervision of the dean of women, Dr. Stary, who freguently meets with the girls when problems confront the group. Officers for the first semester were: Grace Giles, house president; Gladys Brown, president, Anita Brown, secretary and treasurer. Grace Giles was STUDENT COUNCIL elected president for the last semester, Jeane Lindquist, vice president, and lean Dressier, secretary and treasurer. The ideal of the Council is to see that a high standard of life and culture is maintained in Becht Hall. CLUE The Geography Club of 1939-40, which consisted of thirty active members, has enjoyed a very interesting and active year. This club is composed of students interested in geography and is under the direction of Mr. Kuhner. During the regular club periods a number of educational programs were enjoyed. Several movies from the college Film Library were shown. The club was fortunate in obtaining as guest speakers an ex-mayor of Oil City and Professor Wilkinson, both of whom described and showed pictures of their travels. Some of the club members gave travel talks on unusual places about which the club was desirous of learning. The outstanding event of the first semester was an all-day trip to Pitts- burgh, when the members visited the National Biscuit Company, the Phipps Conservatory, the Heinz Chapel, and the International Rooms in the Cathedral of Learning. The major social activity was a Christmas party held in the Train- ing School. The main event during the second semester was an all-day trip to several nearby points of interest including the Glass Plant at Ford City, the flood con- trol dam at Crooked Creek, and the navigation dam at Kittanning. The officers for the year were: president, Norman Sampson; vice-president, Anita Brown; and secretary-treasurer, Louise Courson. The Outdoor Club is known as a very active club on the campus. This club is sponsored by Mr. Manson. At the beginning of the year four new mem- bers were taken into the club which now consists of twenty outdoor-minded individuals. The club holds its regular meetings every other Tuesday. The members at this time take part in some active activity on or near the campus. The club members take part in other activities outside of the regular club period. At least once a month the club had an outing. In winter weather tobogganing at Cook ' s Forest or Campus toboggan slide and ice skating are the chief sports. When weather permits, archery, and tramping are enjoyed. CLTDCCK CLUE The club has been shown several motion pictures on outdoor life, scenery, and animals. The members of the club also enjoy such indoor games as shuffle-board, volleyball, badminton, handball, ping-pong and others. They enjoy target shooting, swimming, and mushball. This year officers for the Outdoor Club are as follows: John Mooney, presi- dent; Sherwood McCormick, vice-president; Edythe Lucas, secretary-treasurer. CCLLEGE PLATECS J ;...... . During the year 1939-40 the College Players Club has continued its usual interesting and entertaining program of varied activities. The majority of the club members have participated in some manner in the club meetings which have included discussions on the various phases of play production, a talk on pantomime, presentation of several pantomimes, and reviews of plays ap- propriate for club presentation. Voice quality and sound effects were discussed and demonstrated by means of student-directed radio plays, one of which was Which Is The Way To Boston . Participation in these activities has enriched the dramatic background of the club members as well as stimulated a keen interest in dramatic activities. The main social event during the first semester was the Hallowe ' en party held at Cook Forest Inn. The annual College Players Banquet on March 7 was the social highlight of the second semester. The College Players took charge of the sale of tickets and assisted back stage for the production of the Merchant of Venice by the Classic Guild, a group of professional actors. The Club ' s outstanding dramatic production was the famous three-act ploy, Stage Door by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman, presented during Parents ' Week end. This gave the various members of the club opportunity to reveal their special talents. The officers of the first semester were: president, Kay Snyder; vice-presi- dent, Norman Sampson; secretary, Anna Mary Byers; and treasurer, Betty Paddock; the officers of the second semester were: president, Norman Sampson; vice-president, Mary Alice Smith; secretary, Stanley Klepfer; and treasurer, Pauline Davis. One of the outstanding projects on our campus is the editing of the Clarion Call. This worthy project is accomplished by the members of the Press Club. The Clarion Call has been so effectively produced by them that we are proud to say that it ranks high among college papers. The Press Club closes its active year with many events, most noteworthy of which is the addition of a new literar y department Although its efficient editor, Robert Jewell, resigned during the year, Florence Vaughn, the new editor, capably assumed the duties and has produced an excellent paper. CLUC Officers Second Semester — President, Sherwood McCormic; vice president, William Cadman; secretary and treasurer, Doris Seigworth. Officers First Semester — President, Dick Hartman; vice president, Eleanor DeWald; secretary-treasurer, Betty Henry. The main social event of the year was the joint Press Club and Art Club banquet held in March. At this time the distinguished editor of the Oil City Derrick, John O ' Donnell, addressed our aspiring young writers and artists. ASSOCIA- TION CHILDH€€D EDUCATICN The Association for Childhood Education is a student branch of the National Association for Childhood Education. Its membership is composed of students interested in kindergarten, primary, and intermediate education. During the year the club aims to fulfill these purposes: to gather and disseminate knowledge of the movement for education of young children; to bring into active cooperation all childhood education interests, including parent education; to promote the progressive type of education in nursery school, kindergarten, and primary grades; and to raise the standard of the professional training for teachers. The club activities included: excursions and discussion of the excursions; showing of moving pictures; a study of the history of Clarion and Clarion County; and work week. An exhibition of educational toys from Holgate Com- pany added interest to the programs. Officers for the year were: president, Kathryn Whitehill; vice-president, Phyllis Blum; recording secretary, Dorothy Lehner; corresponding secretary, Betty Henry; and treasurer, Elizabeth Silves. Miss Bertha Leifeste was club adviser. The Art Club has been organized to meet many student needs and is elastic in the scope of its undertakings. All kinds of crafts have been worked upon, such as, wood burning, painting, silk, basketry, and tie-dying. Each member is privileged to paint a picture for the Parents ' Day Exhibi- tion. Prizes are awarded at that time for the best entries. Charcoal, oil, water color and pastel are the mediums used by the students. Teas, a trip to Pittsburgh, movies, and an annual banquet were some of the social activities enjoyed during the year. The club sponsors a number of famous ACT CLUE exhibitions annually. This year the outstanding one consisted of several hun- dred Japanese prints. Miss Sanford acts as adviser of the Art Club. Officers for the year were: president, John Hughey; vice-president. Gene Stewart; and secretary-treasurer, Helen Burnham. y€UNG CUKISTI IN TICN The Young Women ' s Christian Association defines its purpose thus: We, the members of the Young Women ' s Christian Association of Clarion State Teachers College, unite in the desire to realize full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. In this task we seek to understand Jesus and follow Him. This organization has met every Wednesday evening from seven to eight o ' clock. The meetings have been planned by the members of the Y cabinet. They have consisted of worship programs, followed by discussions. At several meetings guest speakers have addressed the girls and have given very helpful talks. Other meetings have taken the form of world fellowship programs, at which time movies of other peoples and countries have been shown. The Social Service work of the Young Women ' s Christian Association for this school year has included giving Christmas gifts to unfortunate children and singing Christmas carols. Another project sponsored by these girls during this year has been Saturday evening dances held on those nights when no other school function was scheduled. The officers of the second semester were: president, Miriam Moses; vice- president, Betty Jane McLaughlin; and secretary-treasurer, Mildred Baker. Other cabinet members were; Jean Tait, Ruth Barr, Lorraine Miller, and Eleanor DeWald. The Young men ' s Christian Association is keenly interested in the educa- tional, physical, moral, social, and spiritual life of the young men on our campus. It is the aim of the Young Men ' s Christian Association to increase and strengthen faith in God and to develop a well-integrated personality. In the regular weekly meetings this organization endeavored to further a spirit of understanding and fellowship and to uphold the Christian ideals. Although not a very large organization, the benefits of the meetings have been invaluable. The Association has been privileged to have several faculty members speak. Informal discussion of problems and guestions vital to young people of today has aroused much interest. MEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSCCIA- Tl€N This organization has had several joint activities with the Young Women ' s Christian Association, among which were discussions, morning watch, a Christ- mas party, and vesper services. The success of this organization has been due to the constant interest and attendance of the members and the splendid cooperation and advice of the sponsor, Mr. Becker. President — Norman Sampson. Vice President — Paul Claypool. Secretary-Treasurer — Robert Rhodes. GIRL ' S GLEE CLUE The newest musical organization at Clarion State Teachers College is the Girls ' Glee Club. This group was organized in September of 1939 with a mem- bership of approximately thirty-five. Membership is open to all college women with good voices and an elementary degree of sight singing skill. The group studies music selections embracing a variety of vocal styles from early poly- phonic works to the works of contemporary choral composers. The members made their debut at the Christmas Concert given at the Brookville Presbyterian Church by the Girls ' Glee Club and A Cappella Choir in December 1939. They also sang at the annual Christmas Concert given in the chapel for the students and faculty. They found much pleasure in the concerts which they presented in nearby high schools.

SECUELLE STAEE During the first month of school the Senior Class met and elected Helen Deily editor and Charles Kroh business manager of the 1940 Sequelle. The other members of the staff were selected from the members of the Senior Class and are as follows: Betty McCue, Chester Byerly, Lucille Seigworth, organiza- tions; Clare Yotter, art; Grace Giles, Perry Lewis, feature; LeRoy Carlson, John Mooney, men ' s athletics; Eva Murdock, women ' s athletics; Ray Manson, photog- raphy; Delia Fillman, literary editor, and Lucille Seigworth, typist. To Clarence A. Kuhner, business adviser for the Sequelle, Miss Nair, liter- a ry adviser, the engraver, and the publisher, we are grateful for the necessary information which was given us. We sincerely hope you will like and appre- ciate this book. THE LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, the most recently organized club on the Clarion campus, was organized at a tea given by Miss Nair for her Latin students December 5, 1939. The following officers were elected: President — Helen Deily. Vice President — Eleanor DeWold. Secretary-Treasurer — Betty McLaughlin. Program Committee Chairman — Helen Rea. The purpose of the club as found in the constitution is to promote an interest in ancient Roman civilization and to create a greater enthusiasm for classical studies. Another objective is to provide the prospective teacher of Latin a valuable means of vitalizing the subject. Soon after the club was organized the members began working on Latin costumes which were used in the Roman Dress program presented in chapel in April. The characters represented a Roman soldier, a Roman girl, a vestal virgin, a slave, a Roman matron, a Roman bride, and a Roman boy. The Latin club met the last Tuesday of every month. A committee of three took charge of each program. Some of the programs were Religious Customs, Description and History of Pompeii, and the influence of Latin on English Liter- ature. In April the club enjoyed a banquet and picnic. Since the Latin Club was so recently begun, its picture does not appear in the Sequelle this year. €N TC VICT€Cy CHEER LE 4EEC The sidelines at Clarion State Teachers College resounded this year to a previously unexcelled volume of rahs and ' yahs. Never was a Clarion football team so roundly cheered on to victory. The pep rallies on the nights before games were well attended and the pep programs themselves were both novel and interesting. The first pep meeting saw over a hundred students capturing Main Street and yelling themselves hoarse in the rain — an unheard of thing in past years. Before the Edinboro game a giant funeral was held, complete with gallows, Edinboro dummy, and coffin. After hanging the dummy at Fifth and Main, the stunt was made complete with a blazing funeral pyre on the college football field. Before the Indiana game, a modern Boston Tea Party was held to properly scuttle the Indiana team ' s chances for victory. Morgan Jones, the head cheer leader, had more than able assistance from the other cheer leaders: Belle Piper, Evelyn Rippy, George Bowman, Mary Jane Collins and Lois Milliron. May we look forward next year to a continued evidence of vibrant Clarion school spirit. RALLY SONG H. L. BLAND hearClar - ion call, h ' sjusl a «Ye place, E,it fnll-.erace for ihingsgaad -and VC HEN ' $ ATHLETICS HELEN M. BARTON r abSi ' Miss Helen M. Barton is the director of women ' s athletics on our campus and is chiefly responsible for the fine spirit of cooperation and good sportsmanship that is displayed by her girls. Her guidance and administration have at all times been controlling factors in main- taining amicable athletic regulations. Never displaying bias or favor- itism, Miss Barton is an admirable example. Many girls come to college with a limited knowledge in the sports field and their scope and appreciation of physical activity must be broadened. Recreational values and improvement of general physical welfare are stressed in this procedure. The fact that this is a teacher training institution and that we have responsibility in this regard is not neglected. Although here we do not speciaHze in physical education, our students have been able to fill positions which demand coaching knowledge of sports and teaching ability in rythmic work of the elementary grades. The gymnasium and the playfield are the laboratories in which smoother human relationships and adjustment to social groups are carried forward. ATHLETIC CCUNCIL Wfw iM ' -i - rW L ' , ' ' ' ' ft ' - ' ' -;m- -1ir ' 3i HEk P B ' ' ' . fl BwWBBBMii MBBMI J s fcfi ' ■■ ' The Women ' s Athletic Council is made up of girls who have met the standards set up by the Council. At the end of the second semester the council works out an intra-mural sports program which consists of various tournaments to be played throughout the coming year. These tournaments are played by the Freshmen and upper- class girls and are coached and refereed by selected members of the Women ' s Athletic Council. From the two teams an honorary varsity is chosen by the members of the Women ' s Athletic Council. Each girl who attends practice regularly, cooperates with her group, and is a good sport is eligible to become a member of Women ' s Athletic Council. At the end of the school term, and after all the tournaments are over, the old members of the council are awarded letters with stars accord- ing to the number of years of service, provided that they participated in at least two sports and coach one or coach two sports and participate in one. The following girls served as officers for Women ' s Athletic Council this year: president, Edythe Lucas; and secretary treasurer, Clara Trimble. The officers for the coming year of 1940-41 are: president, Eleanor DeWald; vice- president, Lillian Hosey; and secretary-treasurer, Marylou Gourley. The first sport on this years calendar was Speedball. Captains and mana- gers were selected from the Sophomore and Freshman teams who, with the assistance of the coaches, conducted practice in the afternoons after school. The first game, played October 24, was won by the Sophomores, 3-2. The next game played November 1, was also won by the upperclassmen with a score of 6-5. The winning of the second game gave the Sophomores the first series and an inspired start for the sports to follow. The team consisted of: Ruth Barr, Rosadell Chitester, Unithea Stack, Edna Ahlgrim, Audrey Ruth Barnes, Romaine Jones, Doris Seigworth, Mar ylou Gour- SPEEDCALL ley, Mary Jane Collins, Lillian Hosey, Bernice dinger, Nancy Porter, Burdell Giles, Ruth Lehner, and Miriam Moses. The Freshmen team consisted of: Marian Williams, Ella Edwards, Beulah Burns, Helen Hummell, Winifred Wilkins, Sue McKee, Joyce Erickson, Mary Catherine Beabes, Vesta Brinker, Jean Watson, Ruth Kapp, Mildred Baker, Jean Kerr, Florence Nightingale, and Anna Marie Verderose. The varsity made up of outstanding players of each team was: McKee. Stack, Williams, Ahlgrim, Burns, Barr, Moses, Wilkins, Jones, and Seigworth. V ICSITT The second sport on the women ' s intramural athletic program was hockey. The weather for hockey was ideal. Although many fingers were stoved and many shins bruised, both freshmen and sophomores played persistently in all the games. The freshmen were coached by Eleanor DeWald with Mary BeaBes as captain and Betty Myers as manager. Audrey Ruth Barnes was the coach of the sophomores; Romane Jones was captain and Miriam Moses was manager. The hockey varsity, which was chosen by the Women ' s Athletic Council, consisted of the following girls: Mildred Baker, Ruth Barr, Edna Alhgrim, Unithea Stack, Doris Seigworth, Miriam Moses, Sue McKee, Jean Watson, Beulah Burns, Anna Marie Verderose, and Romane Jones. The basketball tournament was probably the most exciting contest of the year. The freshman team and the sophomore team were well matched and vivid and fiery was exhibited in all the games. The freshmen, coached by Regina Phelan, made a series of sweeping victories over the sophomores. Marion Williams acted as captain and Helen Burnham as manager of the freshman team. Lillian Hosey coached the sophomores and Bernice Clinger acted as their captain. Competition was keen through all the games. Marion Williams, Beulah Burns, Ruth Kapp, Bernice Clinger, Romane Jones, and Unithea Stack are this year ' s varsity members. The girls pictured here are those selected for last year ' s basketball varsity. MEN ' S ATHLETICS WALDO S. TIPPIN Mr. Tippin is the efficient and competent coach for the men ' s athletics on our campus. The first activity in the department of physical education is football. This year ' s football squad can truly claim the honor of winning the most games in the football history of the college. The ability to convert after the touch- down, excellent blocking, and effective tackling helped the team to win its games. Basketball season got under way about the middle of December. Again we had a veteran first string, but their success did not match that of the football squad. Next came inter-collegiate wrestling with Indiana and Edinboro. As this was the trial year for this sport, a great deal depended upon its success. Under the coaching of Scot Widmann, the team had an encouraging season. The mat men were Allan Metzger at 121 pounds, Wayne Snyder at 128 pounds, Harold Ferguson at 136 pounds, Clair Reinsel at 145 pounds, Adam De- Flaviano at 155 pounds, Steve Kovalyak at 165 pounds, William Worrel at 175 pounds, and Robert Shea in the unlimited class. At the end of the wrestling season Coach Widmann picked his three best men and entered them in the State Tournament at Lock Haven State Teachers College. The final inter-collegiate sport was tennis, coached by Morton McKinney. The team competed with six colleges in this district. Three former players, Mooney, Imel, and McKenzie, were members of the tennis team. Intramurals culminated the activities of the year. Basketball, volleyball, ping ponq, handball, wrestling, badminton, and tennis made up the program. These games were played by students, other than varsity men, who were divided into seven teams. All in all, this year has been one of the most successful in the spon history of the college. VAPSITT r-«« The Varsity C Club is one of the most outstanding men ' s organizations on the campus. It is composed of men who have earned a letter in one of the major sports. The requirements for earning a letter are set by the Men ' s Athletic Council. The club ' s new members for 1939 are: Robert Mortland, George Shoup, Richard Mayers, James Buzard, Charles Sheridan, John Pepicelli and James Sibley. These men were awarded gold sweaters this year. The club awarded a gold football or basketball to those Juniors and Seniors who had earned two letters in one sport and one in another. John Mooney, Ken- neth Rodgers, and James Meyers received basketballs; William Bratkovich, Raym ond Abercrombie, William Sheridan, Joseph O ' Brien, Marshall Teets, Charles Beskid, and Robert Jewell received footballs. The club sponsored the Alumni Basketball game this year. They also con- tinued selling jerseys which had an eagle on the front. The officers for the year 1939-40 are: Raymond Abercrombie, president; William Sheridan, vice-president; and William Bratkovich, secretary-treasurer. The C is something all men on the campus would like to wear, and those who haven ' t earned one envy those who have. The boys have planned a banquet for all varsity C members in the spring.

GCLDCN EAGLES Assistant Coach — Scott Widmann The line ' s cooperation and good performance is largely due to the coach- ing of Scott Widmann. It may well be said if it were not for a good line the functioning of the backfield would be hindered to a great degree. Equipment Manager — Kenny Rodgers Rodgers assisted the team to the best of his ability. It was his job to keep all the equipment in shape and to help the trainer with his duties during games. Business Manager — Zit Mooney The money angle was handled by Zit Mooney. Having had three years of experience, John did his work well. Zit also performed many other duties for the football team, such as the making of programs, the announcing of the games, and the advertising of forthcoming games. rC€TI9ALL The 1939 football season now claims the best record ever made by Clarion State Teachers College. The season ended with the team. ' s winning five games, losing one game, and tieing one game. The first game of the season was played with Grove City on our home field. After pushing each other around for three long quarters. Clarion finally broke through in the fourth to score a touchdown and point. The next game played was a home game. Alliance bowed to us under the score of 34-0. Victory followed us to the Thiel game. Here we saw the boys come through with a 13-0 win. Coming back to our home field to be scored on for the first time. Clarion placed Edinboro ' s name under the list of losers to the tune of 24-7. At Monesson for a benefit game with California under the lights, Clarion won the fourth consecutive game, 27-6. On November 4, Clarion marched info Indiana territory to return with a score of 12-12, after Indiana ' s tying the score in the final two minutes of the game. Hiram completed the 1939 schedule, getting revenge for its previous defeat in 1938, by trouncing us 7-26.

He is a hard hitting full back from Rimersburg. William Bratkovich — Bill is a tough guard to get through on the offense. He also played center when called upon. James Buzard — Jim, although it is his first year on the squad, did a very good job as a rehef tackle. He also played guard. Weslay Freeburg — The one remaining first string end is Nurmee. Remember Edinboro? What was the blue number 34 always doing in the Red ' s back- field? Robert Jewell — Bob, who is known as the old man of the team, certainly belied the name which was given to him. He alternated with Clyde Pence at right tackle. Stephen Kovalyak — Here is a placement kicker, a runner and a passer; his markmanship was 100 per cent. Steve filled the right halfback berth. Richard Mayers — This is Dick ' s first year of college football. He had a change of pace in running that was to be admired. Many a would-be tackier was eluded by this side-stepping halfback. James Meyers — This year winds up Captain Jim ' s football career at Clarion. It may well be said that this consistent guard will be greatly missed. Frank Mohney — Indiana will not soon forget our blocking back — Hank. Where did he get that mysterious faculty for the opposing team ' s plays? Robert Mortland — Coach Tippen will never forget that little fellow who backed up the line in the Indiana game. We are looking forward to seeing Bob as our varsity center next year. Joseph O ' Brien — The full-back of the team was big. His weight and drive gave us many a first down. His running interference helped to pave the way for many a touchdown. Clyde Pence — Who said the tackle was the meanest person on the team? We all regret that he received an ankle injury in the Thiel game, for stability at this position was an asset to the team. John Pepicelli — His nickname Pep did not belie his character. This tackle ' s jovial character on the football trips made a long trip short. Andrew Sevok — Andy is one of those fast shifting halfbacks. We shall never forget Big Seven ' s work in the Alliance game. William Sheridan — The one Clarion halfback to make the All-State Teachers College team was Baldy. His open-field running and his line-plunges constituted for us numerous touchdowns. Charles Sheridan — Baldy ' s little brother Ink was a deserving quarterback. Many an end will remember his inescapable blocking. George Shoup — George was the team ' s ambidextrous passer. His punting and passing will not readily be overlooked. James Sibley — This is Jim ' s first year on the varsity, and he proved to be a capable end. He doesn ' t say much, but watch him next football season. Marshall Teets — We also regret to see this elastic end leave us this May. How Marsh ever snared some of those passes is beyond us. John Wetzel — Here is our only All-State Teachers College tackle. We shall re- member him for his persistent invading of the enemy ' s backfield. Harry Wolfe — Good old Harry the Bear is another guard. He showed his mettle in the Edinboro game. BASINET CALL The 1939-40 basketball season was one long season of upsets. Although a veteran team, its ability was not up to par with that of last year. For some un- known reason the team did not seem to click, even with the steady substitution of other players. At the end of the season all we could say was that we won two games. The squad consisted of Abercrombie, Teets, Meyers, McKenzie, Rodgers, Solonchak, Freeburg, Wetzel, Sibley, Manners, McKendree, Bixby, McCormick, and Wyncoop. Zit Mooney served as basketball manager of the team. This being his second year as manager he was well instructed in his duties. He also kept the spirit of the team on a high level. Alan Metzger, who was the faithful assistant manager, will in all proba- bilities be manager next year.

Ray was injured at mid-season and was unable to play in the remaining games. Wesley Freeburg — This man, our pivot man and forward, out-smarted his opponent many times. Wes was very good on defense and was always there when it came to making points. Robert McKenzie — Bob, playing his second year on the squad, made a splen- did contribution to his team. He filled a guard position and was a dead shot from the corner of the floor. James Meyers — Here is one of the Seniors who has played four years on the squad. Jim filled a forward position this year and was elected a co- captain by his team mates. Kenneth Rodgers — Kenny filled a guard position. Although he is the small man of the team, many an opponent has found out he is hard to get around. He has been one of our high scorers this year. William Solonchak — Bill is the only freshman to earn a letter. He is another small man who fills a guard berth. Bill is a good shot, and we expect big things from him in the future. Marshall Teets — Another Senior who played in the forward position. He was the fellow who liked to dribble through the other team. Marsh played in the pivot position and was heard from many times in the scoring column. He was the other co-captain of the team. John Wetzel — Muggs is that big fellow who always got in the opponents ' road when they wanted to score. He played at center and was always ready when needed.

CCLLEeE HLMCC Professor (taking up quiz papers): Why the quotation marks on this paper? Student: Courtesy to the man on my left. In a recent psychological experiment, one of a set of identical twins was trained to be an athlete; the other, to read and write. Freshman Girl (after blind date): I ' ve had a wonderful evening, but this wasn ' t it. The coach of Conference Champions has a cute way of disciplining his football players: every time anyone of them makes a mistake he fines him and takes it out of his pay. A colleqe education is the transference of the notes of the professor to the notebook of the student without going to the minds of either. I ' aven ' t ' ad a bite for days, said a tramp to the landlady of an English Inn, The George and Dragon. D ' you think yer could spare me one? Certainly not, replied the landlady. Thank yer, said the tramp, and slouched off. A few minutes later he was back. What do yer want now? asked the landlady. Could I ' ave a few words with George? said the tramp. Mr. Manson: Can anyone tell me what causes the trees to become petrified? Gene Stewart: The wind makes them rock.
