Not the least among the memories of their Alma Mater which the seniors will take with them after graduation is the knowledge that they have had an active part in helping Slippery Rock to forge ahead. They have been privileged to witness more changes in the institution than have ever occurred in a similar period of time. Four years ago the ground had not yet been broken for the new athletic field. The Men’s Hut was still far from completion. Although Slippery Rock was prominent in health education work, soccer, swimming, and tennis were not varsity sports. Only three of the present seven fraternities had been organized. These are only a few of the lines in which Slippery Rock has made progress during the college days of the class of 1936. Some things, of course, have not changed. The mellow radiance of the tower clock on winter evenings,- the nature trail when the dogwoods are in blossom,- the spirit which encourages Green and White teams to give their best regardless of the odds against them,- these will always remain the same. Though small in point of numbers, the senior class has more than made up for this by sending an exceedingly large proportion of its members into leadership in the various activities of the college. On the football field, the basketball floor, in the swimming pool, in dramatics, debating, music and journalism members of the senior class have had prominent roles. Having made a poor start in their freshman year by taking a drubbing at the hands of the more experienced sophomores in the annual frosh-soph grid clash, the class of 1936 decided to mark time for the remainder of the year and spend their efforts in discovering what college was all about. The class play was Dirty Hands,” coached by Mrs. Mabel Eichler Vincent. At the beginning of its sophomore year the class determined to take a more active part in college life. Mrs. Vincent again directed the class play, The Pet Shop.” In February the sophomores went nautical and transformed the west gym into the deck of a ship for their prom. When the members of the class returned to college in the autumn of 1934 they found that many changes had taken place. The cut system was in operation, chapel was held only once a week, and a newspaper had been organized. The class play this year was Patsy,” coached by Dr. R. A. Tallcott. With only two semesters of their college life remaining the seniors were determined to make their final year the best of all. Of course, practice teaching consumed a considerable part of their time, but most of the class managed to keep up their social life as well as maintaining high marks in studies. The Senior Prom was one of the social highlights of the year. This was held in the east gym on November 8, when the seniors and their friends danced to the tantalizing music of the Trey-more Club Orchestra of Butler. With graduation in view, the seniors realize that their four years at Slippery Rock have been the best years of their lives. Although it is with the greatest reluctance that they leave their Alma Mater to take their places in the outside world, they are consoled by the knowledge of what it means to be Slippery Rock men and women.
