14441 Each year it has been the privilege of the Junior Class to edit the ‘Saxigena’’ in honor of the Seniors. We have endeavored to make this year’s “Saxigena” show our appreciation of this honor. As a class we are well represented in every type of activity on the campus. Varsity and intra-mural sports have drawn from our class some of their most outstanding participants. It is our hope that we as a class may continue to give to the college our undivided loyalty and spirit of cooperation, and through its efforts may we continue to grow and be enriched. To the Seniors, whom we have feared, honored, and envied, we now say with much regret farewell! We extend to you our best wishes for success in the Reid which you are about to enter. We hope that this, our book, may show to some small degree our appreciation and esteem for you, the Senior Class.

With an abundance of enthusiasm so characteristic of sophomores, the class of ’38 resumed its studies at Slippery Rock. The first events of the year besan with a mild initiation of the freshmen into college life. We endeavored to keep a welcome and friendly feeling toward the new comers on our campus, and so, this year a Sophomore-Freshmen Play Day was substituted for the traditional torture. Each class was represented by teams which took part in a tug of war, a tire race, and a football game. The freshmen bowed to the sophomores on the gridiron. Shortly after the opening of the school year the election of officers was held and three of the former members resumed their duties. On February 15 our social life reached its peak, for on that night Hermie Kummer and his band played for the Sophomore Prom. Members of our class have been active in dramatics. Some are members of the Dramatic Club, and they have well represented the class in the productions of Growing Pains, Hedda Gabbler, and lolanthe. In athletics, too, our class has been exceedingly active. Several of our members have been given berths on the varsity football, basketball, and swimming teams. All other extra-curricular activities may boast their full share of sophomores, too. Having now reached its half-way mark the sophomore class wishes success to those who will be leaving college. Those who remain feel confident that with the experience of two years of college life behind them, the next two years will be fraught with experiences which will open newer, wider horizons to our seeking minds. -
