Slippery Rock is a phoenix; she rises anew each season with the freshness of youth. Every year new blood courses through her veins, new energy animates her sluggish limbs, new ideas banish the cobwebs from her old head, and new quips and pranks’ mellow her sense of humor; yet she sips at no magic spring. The secret of her perennial youth is freshmen! The 1935 crop arrived on September 9, with their hopes, their illusions, their dreams, and their green dinks. During freshman week all these were inflated including the heads within the green dinks. But during the following weeks many illusions were shattered, and many heads began to fit the dinks. This was due to the efforts of the sophomores, who were extremely eager to help the green-clad youngsters attain a correct sense of proportion and a working knowledge of the proprieties. Field day came on October 14. It was an opportunity to throw off the yoke of sophomore domination. The score for the day’s events was tied; so the sophs graciously conceded that it was time to lift regulations. The most noteworthy social achievement was the freshman prom, when the new gymnasium was transformed into a ball-room under the deft fingers of the young decorators. The class is making great strides in campus activities. Its members have put their shoulders to the wheel that turns the college machinery. They have done their share in upholding scholastic standings and have assisted in bolstering up the prestige of sports. Freshmen fought creditably on the football team and on the soccer team. The class had more members on the swimming team than any other class.
