Pennsylvania live Dedication We, the class of nine teen twenty-nine, i n order to show our expression of appreciation and gratitude for the many years of active service and aid in the progress of Slippery Rock Teachers College, wish to dedicate this “Saxigena” to DR.GEORGE L.HAMM V� ! � • Order of Contents ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS FEATURES Foreword When we are old and Worn with years, we'11 read This record of onr youth, the day, the place: And we will suit our memory to our need And long forgotten name to faden face. Sadness will come to us who fail to trace The dreams we dreamed so certain to succeed; Time's later generation will erase The dreamer and the doer and the deed. What Is It? “Saxigena , what does it mean? When did it originate? How many can tell? To the retiring member of our faculty. Dr. George L. Hamm, we are indebted for the name of our book. When a name was needed for our year book, Dr. Hamm, who at the time was the Latin teacher, was the one sought to suggest it. He advised the combination “Saxi from the Latin word saxum. meaning rock and “Genia from the verb gigno, meaning to spring. Combining the two we have Saxigena which means a strong book, springing from a rock. 1 ixhi ■ Old Main - You now become members of the great body of the Alumni of State Teachers College at Slippery Rock. I trust that during your stay with us your loyalties have been developed; loyalty to home, to self, to your Alma Mater, to your profession, to your church, and to your state. These loyalties will show in an ever increasing efficiency in work, in a liner spirit of co-operation and in a renewed strength of character. As you go forth—go with the resolution to achieve and the enthusiasm that will help you to win. I lere is to you—a joyous success. J. Lin wood Hisenberg Iwcnty-two ClEOKOi: I- I I VMM. IV. Ph i).

In the class room they are ever ready with an answer, and they are setting a standard for which the under classmen may look forward. Athletics look to this group for their stars. The champion football team found nine juniors on the regular lineup, and the girls’ basketball team set aside seven positions on the lirst squad for this class. Along with this they have members on the honor roll, loud speakers, sound sleepers, and industrial scholarship workers. 1929 M pq XCEECMCEEX Class of Nineteen Thirty-One OH:l(T:RS President I iee-President Secretary treasurer T.

In this Sophomore class we will look for our future lecturers, scientists, journalists, and master school teachers. They are also constantly pushing the varsity members for a jH silion on the athletic teams. The Sophomore class have profited by their work. While they are looking forward to a joyful junior year, it is hoped that the freshmen will have received the torch with which to carry on as Sophomores. gjSAXIGENACe) rCE HMEN Class of Ninet ty-Two OFFICERS William Ran my Edward Porter I Dorothy IIugc.ans Gordon Gibson Motto: Nothing but the best is good enough.

No satisfactory reason has ever been found except that students can not enter college from high school unless they enter as Freshmen. In fact, students can never hojK to become Sophomores, much less Juniors or Seniors, if they have not come through the pupa stage of being Freshmen. Of course not all Freshmen are the same. They merely look and act that way. Some one has said there are only two types of Freshmen, those that come to prepare for teachers and those that are sent here, liven that is not a very good excuse for a Freshman But they do add a certain touch and color to college life for the Sophomores and the upper classmen. After all. that is probably their real reason for existence. The advice from one who has been a Freshman himself is merel this: Don't be too hard on the poor kids.

We find in this group the president and treasurer of the senior class, the business manager of the Saxigena. the editor of the girls’ athletics for the Sax.'' the coach of the high school girls’ basketball team, two members of the science club, and one member on the honor roll. Junior High Seniors lew in numbers but great in success are the seniors of the Junior I ligh group. Their ability is shown by the activities in which the individuals took part. These are: the editor of the Slippery Rocket, the editor of the Saxigena, scholarship in science, members of the baseball team, member of the honor roll, and advertising manager of the Saxigena. The group has attained other achievements which is shown by it faithful lovers. Ninety-two (dp 1929 i(G) v Honor Group This is the lirst year to make any distinction between those who valued time and those who did not use it to the best of their ability. Greatness is achieved through three methods, by inheritance, by acquiring it. and by having it thrust upon them. W e can say for this group that they gained most of their fame by the second method, as very little of this work can be inherited, and thrusting upon one is not practiced by the members of the faculty. 1929 Ninety.four I STAFF AR-rv Duff usiness mgr Everett O‘ ■ Ojf 7 _ Hines editor j Mrs Cecil ■«% .

It is not expected that every member of the club will be a great conductor. However, each member learns to wield a baton anil to secure firm attacks and prompt releases. Anyone possessing a sense of leadership and a love for music can. after a reasonable amount of practice, learn to instruct an orchestra or a chorus. When the seniors have charge of chapel on Friday mornings, the Baton Club furnishes a leader for the singing. Some members have the opportunity of directing music at the training school, junior high, and the senior high schools during chapel periods.

Nash and Campbell were the high scorers for the Green and White. The work of the Green and W hite in the first two games led to the general prediction that the close of the season would find Slippery Rock champions of the Teachers college circuit with a perfect record.

Miwjgtr Coiteb iiuard Captain LIPPERY ROCK girls again proved that thev were too slippen for their m opponents when the Waynesburg girls went down to defeat under an avalanche of two-pointers that terminated in a 58-7 score. At the start of the game the girls could not find themselves, but after the nervous tension wore off the Compton Machine settled down, and there was a steady shower of baskets until the final whistle. The passing and floor work of the entire S. R. team kept the ball under the Slippery Rock hoop, and the Yellow Jackets were fortunate in getting one two-pointer, although they had a pair of forwards that showed plenty of life when they were lucky enough to get possession of the ball, as the Green and White guards covered them like a tent and displayed a defense that would make any coach smile. The center portion of the floor was well taken care of as Elva got every toss-up. and Little Jumping Jerry” was on the receiving end every time. Elva McCasland played true to form, while Jerry started her first game and performed like an old-timer. The I pton-Louden combination was a treat to sore eyes, the way they cut and One humlictl twenty-nine passed made a ixrrson wonder what the final score would be. when they started to sink the baskets. Juniata was the fir t game of the big trip in the Hast, and the Slippery Rockites were all excited. However, a confident Green and White team t x k its place on the floor and before long had its opponents l x king ever) place but the right one. The first half proved that Slippery Rock took no chances and when the half whistle blew was on the long end of a $0 to score. Something happened then. The referee, a man. insisted upon calling fouls, being partial to S. R.. until lie had eliminated four of the team. If he had called another foul. Miss Compton would have been the competent substitute. But the whistle blew too soon, and the Westerners had chalked up the first victory. Sal Louden was high scorer in the game, shooting almost at will while the guard and center positions proved their worth by keeping Juniata's score as low as it was. Penetrating a little farther East, the Green and White party stopped at Meyers-town for their second game with Albright College. It seemed that the Albright Girls were looking for S. R. and were determined to stop their winning streak. Again the S. R. girls marched on to a floor handicapped by its smallness but with confidence, and defeated the Albright aggregation to the tune of 45-10. At times the Albright girls displayed flashy basketball but not for long, as the One htitnltt-tl thirty m i l s m os Foru-ard I I A McCASI-ASI) I I OKI SCI WISI STOSL CfHtrr SS SI)I KSON (iuiltj local sextette wore on their toes lighting for the ball. I he third quarter was slow for S. R.. and as a result the Albright lassies were able to make most ol their ten points. When the S. R. girls walked onto a lloor about half the si e ol their own and looked over a team. Swarthmore. which possessed a record as formidable as their own. the Green and White gave the impression ol nervousness. I heir l-.astern opponents accustomed to a small lloor. looked the very essence of confidence. However, when the time came for the game to start, this same group of nervous girls huddled in a corner, clasped each others hands, and determined first for Miss Compton and second for the college. Both proved such an inspiration that even on that exceptionally small ll x r. the Green and While sextette played as though the had played on a lloor that size all their lives. They caught Swarthmore oil their guard at the beginning of the game and until the whistle blew for the half, ran circles around the Eastern champs in every department of the game. The half ended 2 -8 in Slippery Rock's favor. The Swarthmorians were shrewd enough to study S. R.s signals, but this soon was remedied by reversing them and the local forwards kept on receiving from the center and rolling them in without much trouble. Swarthmore proved to be the greatest opposition the Slippery Rock girls received at any time on the trip, their type of basketball was almost the same as Onr hun.lir.l thirtv-� nt Ill RNZETTA NEWTON AGNES VHBI.LM SARA LOUDEN MARY LOUDEN Side-Center Center toward l-'oward that of the local team.

I he game ended 46-25, adding another victory to S. R.'s long string, and breaking up Swarthmore's championship chances. At last, even though a day of rest intervened, the Slippery Rock emissaries were to try their luck against Hast Stroudsburg, the school which l)r. liisenberg wanted beaten. Then again one of Slippery Rock's pennants was stolen, and Miss Compton wanted revenge. The gym was packed to capacity when both teams entered, and Slippery Rock received just as much of a welcome as did their liastern sisters. I he Hast Stroudsburg lassies ran onto the floor clad in white from head to foot. S R.’s standard color. The local girls, clad in green, added the sister color, and hailed the omen as another Slippery Rock night. I he cheering that night was something that is read about in books, and it certainly did S. R. more good than the home girls. One hundred thirty-two Ck 17 XT ( L. IN V In this game, according to Miss Compton, the most inspiring thing in basket-hall happened. The lirst S. R. signal worked, and within eight seconds after the tip-off the initial goal was made. The lirst half was a scoring rampage on the part of the Slippery Rock forwards. They left their guards completely bewildered by their brilliant passing and spectacular shooting. Sal Russell, star guard and pilot of the girls' team, certainly showed what she was made of and played the best game seen in those parts for some time. When everyone else let down. Sal and Winnie kept up the spirit through the whole game and held Hast Stroudsburg to 3 points, while Slippery Rock forwards made basket after basket to amass a total of 35 points. Waynesburg got the breaks, but Slippery Rock took the game, and the girls worked hard for their 30 point lead in the game played at Waynesburg. Judging from the score made in the home game. W aynesburg rooters expected to witness a one-sided game from the start. It would have been one-sided, but from the beginning the Waynesburg team had one thought in mind. Win by hook or crook. Basketball technique was not the best, and fouls committed In Waynesburg were repeatedly called on the Green and White sextette. The lirst quarter proved the slowest scoring quarter S. R. girls have ever witnessed. However, though tactics were rough, that invincible battery of team work characteristic of the girls’ team broke forth, and from then on everything was for Slippery Rock. Sal Russell, veteran guard and captain, made her initial appearance in the center section and did a wonderful piece of work as Hlva’s assistant. She played rings around her opponent and a game deserving the credit due a polished side-center. Helen Upton made 25 out of S. R.'s 38 points and played the best game of her career. As she received wierd passes due to strong guarding, she deliberately shot two-pointers from all over the lloor. Florence Winestone must have studied Waynesburg forwards, for she was like a stone wall to them. Time after time Winnie shattered hopes for a rise in the score and was practically the main reason why Waynesburg was held to two field goals. This is the lirst time that Slippery Rock was ever entered in a national contest, although the girls didn’t win the tournament which was held at Wichita. Kansas. The team was entered after they had received an invitation from the sponsors of the tournament. Slippery Rock played her lirst game on the second night of the tournament. They played the final game of the evening which provided the thrills of the evening for the crowd. For 30 of the 32 minutes. Slippery Rock and Rat Youngs of Cleveland battled tooth and eyebrow. Then in the final minutes Sara Louden caged a pair of baskets One liundictl thirty‘three from the side of the floor, and the Pennsylvania team had won. I'he score was 20-1 5, a fret shot being registered in between. It was by far the best game of the night and by the toughest defensive battle of the tournament this far. The Slippery Rock victory was costly, however, as it lobbed them of Helen I'pton, star forward, who received a badly wrenched knee in the first period and had to be carried off the court. The night of six games saw as many teams go up another round and the same number drop out of the championship race and into the consolation. Crippled by the loss of their star. Helen I'pton, the Slippery Rock team took fifth place in the tournament for the national amateur basketball title. They were defeated by the allenstein-Raffman sextette of W ichita in the third round of play by the score of 35-15. The game was a defensive battle throughout, l ime and time again the Slippery Rock girls broke up their opponents' best plays. At the end of the first quarter the score was 2-2. The first half ended 19-10. In the third quarter Russell and Winestone were put out on fouls and the Wichita team had things pretty much their own way until the end of the game. Wichita papers praised the work of the entire team, and especially mentioned the guards. Russell. Anderson, and Winestone for their speed, passing and fine team work.

As we were unable to get the score book of the previous season, we have attempted to write from memory a summary of the contests as nearly as possible. Because of this fact we have not been able to give justice to the baseball squad.

On account of weather conditions. Slippery Rock was not able to get rounded into shape for the opening game. The Saints had 0|xrned their season three weeks before the scheduled game with Coach Thompson’s nine. This was plainly shown when I lout , was unable to avoid the Saint Vincent players from clouting out safe hits. And furthermore, the team in general was not in shape to handle the hard hit balls, and as a result, the Saints went home with a 7-4 victory. The following Wednesday showed that Slippery Rock had improved in form when they easily conquered Indiana by the score of 13-4. The Indiana pitcher, with a smile on his face, watched the Green and White nine slam out hit after hit and raise their score beyond any doubt of defeat. When the the game was decidedly won. Coach Thompson substituted the first string players. The substitutes showed themselves worth} of their positions when they continued with the classy playing which had been started by the Green and White regulars- The next victory was at Ashland w here Slippery Rock defeated Johnson. Ashland's pitcher. In three years of college baseball, this was Johnson's lirst defeat, and before the game Ashland fans were quite confident of a victory for the home team. Slippery Rock played a fast brand of ball in this game when they completed three double plays, two bv the route of l.utz to Ott to I loover and one by Campbell to On to Hoover.

I would he elected Lord High Kleagle or President immediately after its foundation, the only trouble being with my appointment or election that I would probably put off being present at my inauguration for so long that the members would give me up as hopeless. I have been here in Slippery Rock for three years, but as far back as two years and ten months ago I had acquired the reputation of never being known to be on time for classes, meals, or in fact almost any gathering at which my attendance was desired. Indeed, it soon became known that it was not safe to start any function at which I was due, on scheduled time, since I invariably interrupted it with my late arrival However, do not for a minute think that I am boasting of this dire shortcoming of mine; 1 have merely put off warning those with whom I might at some future date, have an appointment for so long that I have at last availed mvself of the opportunity to prepare them for my tardiness.

I miss my breakfast as a result of the first act of procrastination for the day. and arrive late for class, puffing and blowing for the mad dash I made across the campus in an effort to make up for lost time. I might add here that procrastination is also a thief of proper digestion. In class I sit in fever of suspense of fearing that the teacher might call upon me for a recitation, since I indefinitely put off the preparation of my lessons the night before. Thus it goes throughout the day. one postponement after another. When Gabriel blows his horn on judgment Day.

Dr. Waldron (on trip to Bermuda)— They say if there’s anything in a man. travel will bring it out of him. “Fat Kline “You tell ’em. I found that out my first day at sea.” My heaven of rest is a bed. I was born in a bed and according to myself my mother, and the opinion of others who are in a position to know. I have spent most of the time following my entrance into this world in a prone position. I would have undoubtedly accomplished many things thus far in tlu course of my lifetime had it not been for my infallible weakness for falling asleep at a critical moment in m effort toward achievement. For example: I suddenly decide to revolutionize the literary world in general and become one of the shining lights in the art of writing. To accomplish this I delve posthaste into a lit of reading the classics All goes well thus far. but here I encounter a difficulty. I no sooner get started on this line of occupation than I am seized with an overpowering desire to sleep. The desire becomes a realization. and as a result, literature has to wait just so much longer for a leader. I don't know how many times I have wished that dreams were a reality, for goodness knows that if they were I would either be president or a Rudyard Kipling. Or. if dreams taken on a quantitive basis helped one materially I would be either an atlas or a dictionary. If plenty of sleep helped one physically. I would undoubtedly be Samson reincarnated. I lowever. it is my misfortune to be the object of the maxim too much sleep makes one sleepy. Artists have painted sleep as a thing of beauty, poets have idealized it in verse, but. alas. I fear I have exploded all their theories and idealizations. I have never heard myself, but my bedfellows invariably and emphatically inform me that I snore with a wonderful degree of efficiency. They tell me that my mouth hangs open and that I am in truth a hideous sight to behold while asleep. I m glad my bedroom is not made of ftlass. I could continue this dissertation on sleepiness and probably make it worth while but for one fact. My eyelids arc One hundred fifty-nine drooping, and I can no longer think co-herently. I am sleepy. John T. Brooks. Rather -“Now I 'm giving you a job with me in business. I want you to work your way up.” “Art Hartman - But. father, there's no future in it. I want to work in some place where I can marry the owner’s daughter.” Alex Graham Mow do you like my new shirt now that you have worn it all day?” John Brooks—“Oh. it's all right, but the cuffs don't take ink very well.” rhe horseshoe has been almost universal!) accepted and recognized as a symbol of good luck for many centuries. W e have our sincere doubts as to whether the horseshoes on our reports are meant to be symbols of such good luck. If they are. we would rather be without such luck. Election day is coming. No. folks, not the presidential election, but the waiters’ election for head of the table in the dining room. Cornelius and Alex Graham are the candidates. Mr. Campbell. the Democratic candidate, promises quick and reliable service, with water after each meal. I:ddie Cantor, the well-known comedian. saitl lie had the itch and a broken arm at the same time, but he didn't have a thing on the fellow at Slippery Rock who had it in the middle of his back and wasn't a contortionist. Sausage, sausage! I)r. Waldron tells us that if the human ate as much sausage as a robin eats worms in the course of one day that he would have to eat a string of sausage three inches in diameter and sixty-four feet long. That sounds like a lot of baloney to us. Doc. Two of the evening dresses we saw at one of the dances, if sewed together, would make a good pen-wiper. We know that everyone has a birth-stone. at least they ii a v e catalogued certain gems for each month. However, now that the semester is about ended, some of us can't help but think that our birthstones were grindstones, from the way we have to keep our noses to them. A little suggestion to our friend “Skinny I lall. the freshman entertainer. If you are going to play Will Rogers. get a rope, as it goes well with your act. We like your reading, but hereafter lay off our friend Dr. Gallagher The things that you can actually accomplish will surprise you if you will only work earnestly as you play. Some people get much satisfaction out of play, and very little out of work. Ami this is the reason we have but little play and are always complaining about having too much work. One of the times a woman will forgive a man for lying is when he says she looks younger every day. Picnickers should be saving up old papers and trash to scatter around the picnic grounds. An auto driver with no life insurance is neglecting his family when he admires the scenery. Reducing the size of paper money will be o k. just as long as someone doesn't slip you cigar coupons in change for a twenty.
