m: ioics In d comparison of class histories we find our class has done well all those thinss classes are expected to do. Our resources contributed much to the success of our basketball, football, and soccer teams. Our class politics have functioned smoothly and without that partisan friction which sometimes characterize class activities. Our departure will be concommittant with a tremendous social change at Slippery Rock. Forty-thousand dollars worth of fire towers are to replace our old fire escapes. Since the towers can be opened only from the inside after hours, they will be co-ed proof as well as fire proof. Thus they will serve a dual purpose, for not only will they strike a blow to danger by preventing students from being consumed in a dormitory fire but will also strike a blow to sin by preventing their souls from being consumed in a different sort of fire. Never more will our Cinderellas, on taking leave of their princes charming, be forced to throw their shoes into the face of a revolver-toting ogre to impede his progress in that grim race up those iron stairs. 1 9 3 7 ■■■! S A X I G E N A Entering school in the face of adversity, we seem to be leaving in the same way. We are the first class to contend with the teachers’ tenure law. Formerly all a Slippery Rock graduate had to do to get a job was to wait for a school marm to succumb to the wiles of Cupid. The state legislature has deprived us of this ally. The only thing we ninety college seniors can do now is to wait till some of the lady teachers get sick and tired of supporting their husbands. Although flippancy is a vital element in youth’s defense mechanism, we can’t leave school without shedding a tear. There are aspects of Slippery Rock that we have learned to love . . . simple things we shall miss: The friendly greeting of everyone we meet on the campus . . . The welcome security of the curfew bell . . . The mellow warmth of old brick in the sunlight . . . Long leisurely discussions about everything and nothing . . . Dogwood blossoms falling in the May sunlight . . . The provocative smell of bread baking at noon in the kitchen . . . The click of hurrying heels between classes . . . The fellowship and abundant enthusiasm at a game, when faculty members forget they are faculty members, and students forget they are students . . enough of this sentiment. It’s below the dignity of seniors to snivel. THE
