So few in number, they called us the Depression Class when we first became Slippery Rock's loyal sons and daughters. We re- ceived the warmest reception ever given a freshman class on the fateful night of October 16, when raging Hames consumed North Hall. Our beloved rambling dormitory, our clothes, our books were all gone . . . but our loy- alty, having withstood the fire test, held ever true. 1938 . . . Sophomores bold, we administered heartily to the Frosh. We ardently did our bit toward helping dear old Alma Mater celebrate her 50th anniversary . . . royal attendants, sing- ers, men in silver, modern dancers . . . Welcome, Alumni !! Final blue books ended the lirst half of our college career. 1939. . .As Juniors we entered the stately portals of new North Hall.. . .The boys came back to South Hall, and we seemed like a happily reunited family. Honor- ary fraternities claimed our classmates.. .Coach Thomp- son brought his boys through an all-victorious season.. . The soccer team kept the bell tolling, as did the undefeat- ed golf team. . .dogwood bloom and Nature Trail. . .make use of them now, we'll be busy next year. . .We're sorry to see this year come to an end. 1940 . . . Nattily attired seniors, we glance enviously at the newly-opened tennis courts, then turn nervously toward the Laboratory School to attend conferences and fret over lesson plans . . . The Varsity club initiates the new custom of selecting a Homecoming Queen . . . We urge winter to leave so that we can have our campus in all its spring splen- dor for our last days spent together as students . . . Commencement, a white scroll, a sigh, a tear, a deep breath, and a new life ahead . . . Slippery Rock has given us her allg now we in turn will give our best to a world of youth. as in M M li X
