Zlfaqenfzaul PPRECIATIO For his seventeen years of efficient service as Director of the Laboratory Schools and supervisor of the student teachers, who end their preparatory teaching career under his guidance, the College is greatly indebted to Dr. Lewis H. Wagenhorst. The editor, staff, and the Junior Class wish to express their sincere appreciation for the invaluable service which he renders the students by dedicating to him the 1941 Sdwtyena. May his com- petent direction be a source of inspiration to those whom he serves, and may he continue to guide those under his supervision with the same genial consideration which he has shown in the past. wmzmmfwwjm DMI i 1 . . , my - Q3 'NV Q' fr: 3' ,aim , a M 2 1 ,,, ,V Y- 9- as . 5 K Z' S Ja.

The fact that you have spent four years in preparation to be- come efficient teachers in our American public schools shows ambition. In order to realize this aspiration, you must have, in addition to your training, within you the ability to think clearly on all problems, and a desire to serve society in making sure for your pupils a continuance of the American way of life. Your college has stood for over fifty years for the development of teachers, who through a thorough study of the advantages of our demo- cratic way of life, have learned that they owe a definite duty to the cause of democracy. They have discharged this obligation by transmitting high ideals to their students, and in developing within the hearts of the boys and girls in our public schools the attitudes and loyalties on which our free society depends for its very survival. The teacher is a member of a recognized pro- fession. He maintains one of the major institu- tions of our civilization, one which opens the doors of opportunity to growing boys and girls, and finally inducts them into the privileges of our American community life. The good teacher, in the face of all temptations to use his own power to dominate the young, remembers his highest privilege is to release their powers and foster their growth. In the near future we hope you will enter the teaching profession. Your obligation first, last, and all the time when you face a class of American boys and girls in our public schools, is to instill into their minds the true value of our democracy, so that they may continue our American way of life.

These paintings have just been recognized for their value by the art authorities. The incidents of how the I-Iaggetts are tricked by dishon- est dealers, and how the I-Iaggetts try to obtain the most valuable portrait from their maid, provide the main inter- est of the plot. I aaa I lalliy-mul 70 Quake? Wmwm 'wwf ,MW ew.. ff I This past season saw the presen- tation of one of the most successful plays ever produced at Slippery Rock. The play was not an easy one to pro- duce, and Mr. Shechy and the cast are to be highly congratulated on the job that they did. The story is built around a slightly cracked killer named Danny, as play- ed by James Howley. His perform- ance was convincing and realistic. Virginia Skelton's portrayal of Mrs. Bramson, the eccentric old lady with whom Danny took refuge and whom he later killed, was well suited to the :heme of the plot. Olivia Grayne, Mrs. Bramson's niece, was played by Frances Wilson. She showed well the fascination for Dannyls twisted na- ture that her part in the play de- manded. Many veteran Rocket performers were in the cast and are not to be pass- ed over. Gilbert McGarvey played the passive and phlegmatic Hubert Laurie, Catherine Smith appeared as a stupid country servant girl, Ethel Cowles, as the hot-headed and sharp-tongued housekeeper, added the spice that was needed to relieve the tenseness of the story. Bob Lind, Robert Smith, and Betty Shellenberger carried their sup- porting roles with credit. The story was one of horror, and treated of the workings of the mind of a subtly insane murderer. Those who saw the play were unanimous in their recognition of the abnormal psychology involved. It left an im- pression long to be remembered in the minds of Slippery Rock playgoers. Daffy fflff!

COTTRELL FOGTBALL I The Rockets' opening game with Shippensburg was probably the hardest fought game of the season. The visitors from the East boasted a big, hard-fighting line which kept the Green and White gridders from penetrating deep into their territory. Both offenses bogged down in the crucial moments, the game ending in a 6-6 tie. The Titans of Westminster were the victims of a hard running and passing attack launched by the Rockets in their second game. Fil Nocera scored the first touchdown on a pass from Eddie Cottrell. After Herb Mosca had blocked a kick in the third quarter, Cheezy,, Craft plunged over for the second touchdown. Denbow and Temple accounted for the rest of the scoring. The Thompsonmen took their longest trip of the season when they traveled to Detroit to play a highly-touted Detroit Tech team. Detroit drew first blood in the second quarter when they scored a touchdown in two long runs. The Rockets re- taliated immediately when an accurate pass from Cottrell was snatched out of the air by Ray Banks mafai.'m'vafu2' ,, .:wwwzz'vim wmnW'wWWrf1Lu sw .

The score remained in Slippery Roclc's favor, 7-6, until the last minute of play, when a Detroit substitute caught a touchdown pass. A muddy fleld greeted the Rockets on their Homecoming game with Indiana. In the first period the Indians went ahead when they garn- ered a safety. Babe Denbow intercepted an In- diana pass and galloped 98 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. The Indians put the game in the bag when they scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to win, 15-6. A series of fumbles and pass interceptions aided the Rockets in defeating the neighboring Grove City eleven. Tom Carey snared a Grover flying fumble early in the first quarter and ran 25 yards to score. Later in the game Ray Banks, Cheezy,7 Craft, and Bill Temple scored touch- downs. MADDEN TEBAY PADEN CAREY BECKERT SAMPLE KFOOTBALL CONTINUEDD The Rockets nosed out the Thiel Tomcats by the thinnest of margins. A 55 yard Green and White drive reached its culmination when Bill Temple drove over for the first touchdown. In the second half a revived Thiel team took the field to fight their way to a touchdown, only to throw their chances away when they missed the extra point. The game with Edinboro was a real battle for the first period, but the Rocket strength proved overwhelming in the last half. Cheezy,' Craft scored the first two touchdowns on off-tackle slashes. A plunge by Stan Robson and a pass, Denbow to Willie Romero, accounted for the re- maining Slippery Rock points. The Covenanters of Geneva played the Slip- pery Roclc eleven to win, 12-0, in the last game of the season. Both teams were severely handi- capped by the slippery field and the numbing cold. The Genevans scored all of their points in the second quarter. ' ' --wm.xff 11-L.. 'I-iaffr-if ' Q, My A-'Q wmrm f M - Pagr Ninrly-lfwo Dolce.

Points scored for the season total 619 for the Rockets compared with 582 for their oppon- ents, an average of 44 points a game, showing that Coach Thompson and his team were working to- gether to bring definite results. Frannie Webster and Tom Carey were the leading scorers of the team, amassing a total of 303 points be- tween them for the season. Slippery Rock invaded the powerful Westmin- ster aggregation for the opening game and was defeated 49-28. The Rockets triumphed over Alliance College in the second conflict of the court season by the decisive score of 67-30. This victory, however, was followed by successive de- feats from California S. T. C. and Mt. Union College.

The follow- ing week, however, Indiana and Edinboro both took close decisions from the Rockets. Slippery Rock then won their next four contests without much trouble. They defeated California, Indi- ana, and Clarion in order, all of which was especi- ally gratifying because of the earlier losses to the former two teams. Grove City made the short CONTINUEDD winning streak complete by taking a 56-31 drub- bing at the hands of the S. R. hoopsters. Slippery Rock then lost by a mere two points to the highly touted Westminster outfit from New Wilmington.

Vincent's traclcmen pulled through with a very successful 1940 season. To cap the season, they took third place in the Dis- trict Championship Traclc Meet, held at Beaver Falls. While W. 66 and Carnegie Tech placed ahead of Slippery Rock, the Rockets were out in front of Waynesburg, Grove City, Bethany, Geneva, Westminster, and Indiana. The thin-clads started the season with an Inter- class meet on April 24. The Juniors tool: first honors with 53M pointsg the Freshmen placed a close second with 442 pointsg then came the Sen- iors with Z6 points, and the Sophomores were left holding last place with 11 points. The first Intercollegiate meet was at home with Fenn, and the Rockets captured an easy first, 76M-49M. They then traveled to Lock Haven to be nosed out 64 5X6-61 IX6. Three days later found Slippery Rock victorious over Westmin- ster by a wide margin, 106W-2912. The last meet of the season before the district meet proved to be another victory for the Rockets, topping Waynesburg, 67-57. Lettermen included Kaufman fcaptainj, Ram- sey fco-captainl, Maddalena, Pritchard, McQuis- ton, Rogers, Carey, Russell, DeLonga, Denbow, Stitzinger, Hough, Temple, and Schweinberg fmanagerj. The trackmen are looking forward to another successful season, counting upon the Freshman class to replace those men not returning.

SOCCER C Under the expert tutelage of Coach Archie Dodds, the soccer team emerged from their 1940 season with five wins, one tie, and one loss. Since soccer was initiated as a major sport in 1935, the Rockets have a record of 29 wins, 4 ties, com- 1 pared with 6 losses. The Rocket hooters started the 1940 season by traveling to Meadville and downing Allegheny, 1-0. Then they played at Grove City, and in a scoring spree came out on top, 5-3. The Green Cladsl first home game was with Buffalo, and the powerful New York team held them to a 2-2 tie. Traveling thence to Pittsburgh, the Slippery Rock men defeated the highly touted Tartans, 2-0. And again away, this time to defeat a strong Ohio team, Oberlin, 2-0. They returned to Alma Mater to set back Grove Cityls ears, 3-2, in an overtime period. The last game of the sea- son, on our own SHOW-Swept field, broke the win- ning strealc, with Frostburg, Maryland, nosing out a 2-1 victory. Deserving lettermen this year were Adams, Barlett, Cox, Curohs, Herzherger, Hough, Jones, Miller, 1VlcNertney, Petach, Pritchard, Sinlcula, Sowa, Wright, and Darlin fmanagerj. Of the fifteen lettermen this year, the Rockets will lose several of the best soccermen, but can expect enough back to form a strong nucleus for next year's team. 6 Q I Nifzrly-right SWIMMING I Champions!!! Yes, the Rocket mermen cap- tured the Penn-Qhio Collegiate Swimming Asso- ciation trophy in the meet held at the Carnegie Tech pool. The Slippery Roclc tanlcmen emerged from this meet with 73 points-their closest com- petitor was Carnegie Tech with 55 points. Coach E. B. Cottrell and Captain George Swearingen whipped the team into Hne shape with a vigorous pre-season training period. With this to back them up, the tanlcmen accumulated fourteen wins to one loss. Losing only to Ken- yon, the Rockets downed fexcluding Champion- ship meetl Westminster twice, Grove City twice, Edinboro twice, Case U., Allegheny, Carnegie Tech, W. 86 J., Fenn, Alcron U., Kent U., and Akron Y. M. C. A., to amass 765 points to their opponents' 329, or an average of 51 points per meet to their opponents' 22.

When we consider that all entrants into this sport must run anywhere from four and one-half to five miles, we hnd that only the men gifted with sturdy legs and a good pair of lungs can harbor any hopes of competing in the Tri-State meet, the crowning event of the year in this sport. When Dr. A. P. Vincent looked over his pros- pects in September, he found that he had five lettermen from last year, a very good nucleus about which he could weave a team. I-le also had a very fine crop of freshmen. His aspira- tions for a successful year were realized when the cross-country team completed its season with five wins and only three defeats. These boys also placed second in the State meet. The men who participated in this man-killing sport were Co-Captains Ristich and Rogers, Mer- ritts, Trew, Russell, Marshall, Casserly, Brenner, and Lottes. Bill Ritter assisted the team as man- ager and trainer. The Rockets defeated the following opponents: Carnegie Tech, Hiram, Thiel, Westminster, and Bloomsburg. They lost to Westminster, I-liram, and Pitt. GY TEA I They are the best in the state. This phrase has been applied to our Gym Team, over and over again. Any person who has ever attended one of their performances has used all of the superlatives at his command in commending the boys on the various stunts which they perform at the Annual Home Exhibition. The exhibition is divided into three parts. Apparatus and pyramids, drills and dances, and specialty numbers which include tumbling, com- edy, and Indian club drills are generally part of the show. To add variety to the show, the Junior dance class, and the members of the Dance Team do specialty numbers. Outstanding per- formers on this year's dance group were Jesse Reed, Caroline Schramlco, Martha Zabados, and Betty Wagenhurst. The male contingent consisted of Co-Captains Peter Sowa and Andrew Defassio, I-lerzberger, Shelar, Kearns, Welch, Schlachter, Nelson, Ober- feitinger, Chambers, Brown, and Mossrush. Kenny Nelson and Howard Oberfeitinger were the freshman contribution to a smooth function- ing organization. The team held exhibits at Emporium, Renova, Indiana, Sharon, Butler, Aliquippa, Wilkinsburg, and climaxecl the season with a performance at- tended by 1500 at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in New Castle.

The tennis team for the second straight year met with unexpected difficulties as far as their home court was concerned. The long awaited courts were not completed in time to set up a schedule to include home games. Therefore, rather than discontinue the sport for the year, the Rockets arranged nine matches, all of which were played on foreign courts. Because they had poor facili- ties for practice the Green and White Mnettersi' won but two of the nine scheduled contests. The Rockets engaged Clarion twice and defeat- ed them both times, 6-3 and 8-1. Allegheny en- joyed similar double victories over our boys. Westminster caused more sorrow in the S. R. ranks when they took two hotly contested matches. The most decisive defeat of the year was handed the Rockets by the powerful Univer- sity of Pittsburgh tennis team as they trounced the Green and White, 9-0. The tennis team was coached by Dr. E. B. Cot- trell and was composed of Captain Henry White, Robert Eagleson, George Naismith, Herbert Mc- Lure, Stanley Robson, Ralph Hench, Edwin Cottrell, and Richard Casserly. Dr. Cottrell is expecting to have a much improved squad this spring as the six fine new courts have been com- pleted and are being initiated by eager aspirants. VARSITY GULF I Spring . . . with spring a young man's fan- cies turn to . . . Golf! I The Varsity Golf Team of Slippery Rock enjoyed probably the most successful season of the 1940 sports pro- gram. Dr. E. B. Cottrell has coached the team since the formal initiation of golf as a varsity sport in the spring of 1939. The schedule called for nine matches, of which five were played at the Grove City Country Club, the course being used as Slippery Rockls home course. Dual matches were played with Edin- boro, Grove City, and Westminster, while single matches were played against Duquesne, Kent State, and Allegheny. The season's results show- ed Slippery Rock with an enviable record of nine successive victories and no defeats. This year's team was composed of six members, all of whom received their varsity SH for line work on the greens. Andrew Defassio was cap- tain-elect for the season, and his team consisted of Kenneth Bunney, Filbert Nocera, Ted Bukow- ski, George Fithian, and James Dart. Dr. E. B. Cottrell is looking forward to another highly successful season in the spring of '41, his prospects for a top-flight team are excellent since just one present member, Kenneth Bunney, is lost through graduation.

Time in with the whistlel So began another season of basket- ball, fitfully blown in by the color tournament with the Red team, led by Helen Scarem clinching honors. The invitation teams which made up the next tournament were topped by Helen Tiptonls team of champs. Then came the choosing of the Green and White honorary teams, which were composed of the best players in our Slippery Rock Womenls Athletic Association.

A door is quickly, quietly, and firmly shut by a lithe professor in a brown suit. The door remains shut, possibly a minute, and then is violently thrown open as a breathless student barges into the square, ominously silent room and slams the door behind him. Again, another minute or two later, the door is opened, this time timorously, with only enough width to admit the shrinking body of the red-faced, diseomfited student who enters obsequiously and closes the door with a small, frightened Hcliekf' A third time the door is opened-this time hesi- tantly, as by someone loathe to enter. No doubt the person is loathe to enter. Going into the room will cost him a cent, for he is entering Mr. Headland's room-late. Some six thousand times in the last seventeen years students have entered lylr. Headlandls room-late, as attested by the eyes of VVilliam Penn, George VVashington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and others who seem to gaze down in steadfast reproach at these late comers. Yet one can imagine that there is a gleam of triumph, also in their eyes, they realize that if it were not for procrasti- nators, they would not be there to watch young Americans meet together to study the glorious past of America and to learn of the ideals and principles upon which they as statesmen, founded the United States of America. Some six thousand pennies have found their way into lVlr. Headlandls kitty, and thirty-three American statesmen, Hboughtl' in effigy as they never were in life, gaze with taciturn approval u.pon Slippery Rock students-the ones who Come on time--as well as those who leave their cent behind them.

Q ' .ZW The words of the perspiring dignitary on the rostrum fell drowsily about him as if they were coming from a world far removed from his own, indistinct and meaningless, yet their alien sound occasionally broke the panorama of pictures which fioated before his imaginative mind. There were times, however, when he was aware of the words ambition, Nresponsibilityf, enterprise,', and upersever- ancef' The last sentence came strong and clear, awakening him from his reverie: You will have decisions to make, think not only of the present, but of the future, resist selfish desires, but let your actions be guided by their effect on othersf' These words pricked his mind like sharp pin points, or how much he could have profited had he heeded such advice in past decisions. But, he thought, that was past, and perhaps in the future-. As the closing words of the speaker ceased, he knew all the ceremony was over. He pulled the heavy gown from his shoulders and slowly wiped the sweat from his brow. His diploma, yes, this little piece of parchment, the recognition of his long upward climb that said his d.ream had now become a reality-the struggling and the toilingg the strife and disappointments, the happiness and joys. He looked at the chapel seats, saw his freshman seat, his sophomore seat, his junior seat, and his senior seat. Those four years Hashed before his eyes. He saw himself as a freshman. The first few days he had floated about the campus on a cloud, for everything was so new and everybody so kind. But the day he had met Vicky, lovely and sympathetic Vicky, and was telling her how he had saved the basketball game for his high school by a long and almost impossible shot, his cloud had burst, and he had fallen to the earth with a thud. He found him- self in Tribunal before a learned judge and serious jury. And then the disgrace of having to wear a huge sign with the painful words, The Basketball Wizard! Watch my smokelng to carry a ball around and go through the motions of shoot- ing. He thought he would forever hate basketball, and how he longed for his respected and dignified senior high school days again. If he had not had the encouragement of Vicky, who stood by him, he was afraid he could never have borne this ignominy. Time passed swiftly, and soon those hated, but afterward revered, days were over. Once again he could walk without having to dodge the upper-classmen. How surprised he was when the learned judge and jurors came and told him what a good sport he was and invited him out for practice. Things weren't so bad after all. Winter came with all its loveliness. How often he walked with Vicky watch- ing the snow coming down in huge soft Hakes, slowly filtering through the winter clouds, throwing everything into a diffused mass, softening harsh lines and making ghostly silhouettes of the bare trees. How the chapel reared itself in the murky whiteness like a tower in a London fog, while the chattering and laughter were muffled by the enveloping snow. The haunting grandeur of winter seemed to complete his dreams of college. The whining of sled runners over the sparkling snow, the soft murmur of voices, the sibilant sound of skis gliding in and out among the trees and leaving a serpentine track. The bleak moon was caught and flashed by polished skates as they went whisking about on the steely blue ice. How good it was to handle again the ball which had so disgraced him, to see the raptur- ous eyes of Vicky as she watched his smoke ballug to smell the sweat and hear the chatter of his team-mates in the showers. Spring came with nature blossoming forth in all her glory, and with it many field trips in which he learned the intricate nature of God's handiwork. Then came summer vacation when he thought he could not endure being away from Vicky for so long, however, it was good to get a rest and to be home once again with his parents and friends. Camping and fishing with Dad helped to push away memories of Vicky, and there were Peggy and Ann with whom he could play tennis, swim, and dance. Then too, his work at the service-station kept him busy. The summer vacation quickly passed, and again he saw the clock tower and the ivy-covered chapel. This time he looked at life with more reality and ma- turity. The teachers seemed to be more easily approached, and through their guid- ance he saw more clearly the path he had set out to follow. Over the crisp, cracking leaves, which swirled about them and blanketed the campus, he walked with Vicky. The blue sky had slowly faded back of wispy gray clouds, and a raw wind lashed about their faces. They were a little wiser now and looked to their work with more determination. The long hours of student teaching plus many hours spent in the library, dili- gently searching for material had. exhausted him physically, but his zeal was the more inspired and he tackled his work with only one desire, and that was to suc- ceed. His goal became closer and closer and he became more capable of grasping it. These four years had changed him, for the unworked clay of the freshman had been molded into a form which could be of service to mankind. The parch- ment in his hand meant little, but the ability which he had. acquired was his pass- port to the world which he would soon enter. wk Pk vs if if ek ek Pk He slowly looked around in the dimly lighted chapel, all the others had de- parted. The organ and other familiar sights were blurred by his brimming eyes. He bowed his head and thanked God for this moment in his life, and then hur- ried out to seek Vicky who was sure to be waiting for him. They strolled down the long walk with the spicy fragrance of green foliage above them. Words seemed inadequate, but pictures wove themselves before his eyes. Their plans seemed so far away, but two heads were soon faintly outlined against the starlit sky, and only the rustling of the leaves could be heard-Time ceased and destiny would be kind--who knew? ---reeeeee peqyefed Um' Illllltfffii TlIfI'fl'I'll fqlwazw cuf.16,..,,,c,, ,mga 6 X Kikifttt 1 .
