f ) FOREWORD To the Class of 1955: I he 1955 SAX [GENA tells the story of another year at Slippery Rock Slate Teachers College. Basic and most important to the telling of this story are pictures. They do not tell the whole story, however, ami they have been supplemented by written information and art. In the same wav the four years you have spent here are essential to successful teaching, but they are not enough. You must be willing to add experience and to lake advantage of opportunities to make your education more complete. Opportunity is available to everyone, but mam do not want to recognize it. A turned page has been used as the theme of this book to symbolize the importance of turning those pages of opportunity which will lead to advancement iu vour life. 1 STATE SKATED—Louise Woodling, Secretary to the President of the College: Henrietta Kralzcrl; Marian Foster Smith, Secretary-Treasurer; Zilluli K.

He will find. too. that what others arc learning with him partakes of the truth which can make men wise and loving and free. That’s our calling as teachers. Let’s he the kind of teachers who help make men wise and loving and free.” Dale W. Hour, President l)r. Dale W. Ilouk President of the Colle te i Dr. Leonanl S. Duncan Dean of Instruction Recently I heard a speaker make this statement: ”Democracy does not mean that I am as good as you are. It means that you are as gootl as I «m.” The thing haunts me. It is worth about thirty minutes’ thought. Thought Rest wishes to the Class of 1955. Leonard S. Duncan 9 Miss Lois J. Harrier Mr. John P. Eilcr, Dean oj Men; Dean of Women Mr. H. Lloyd Peters, Assistant Dean oj Men • look to our Deans as guides and counselors. They play a vital part in the welfare of each student, and are ready at any hour of the day to lend a helping hand. Away from parental guidance, we feel at liberty to go to them with our personal problems, great or small. Through qualities of understanding and friendliness. they have gained the respect and admiration of all of us. 10 Mi� Iwilwl Anderson, Supervisor of Momentary Instruction; Dr. Clarence M. Long, Director of Laboratory School; Dr. Joseph A. McCIvmonds, Assistant Director of laboratory School I’Im success of our teacher training ami placement programs is ilue in large measure to three outstanding members of our faculty ... Dr. Clarence M. Long. Dr. Joseph A. McCIvmonds, and Miss Isabel Anderson. Because these people are not seen too often on our campus and because their duties are not known, we do not realize how important the performance of their duties is to us. Dr. Long, Supervising Principal of the Slippery Bock Area Joint School District, consisting of twelve districts, is also the Director of Teacher Placement, lie organizes the student teaching program both on and off campus, and attempts to place the graduates in school systems which meet their individual needs. Dr. McClymomls is Assistant Director of the Laboratory School and is the organizer and administrator of the Secondary School. He works with all the secondary teachers and helps them with such problems as curriculum and discipline. Miss Anderson is the Supervisor of Elementary Education at tin La bora-lor School, and besides working with the teachers • c 11 there, she helps the elementary teachers in the Joint School District with their problems. I bus, by the performance of their duties, these three faculty members assure us of guidance and assistance while we are student teaching and in finding a good position after graduation.

Neither team was able to score during the first half although the Rockets were continually in scoring position. Earh in the final period, the Green and W hitc took the ball deep in their own territory and with the hard running of halfhacks. Itoh Davis and Charley ravers, advanced the ball to the Kdinhoro three- ard line. On the next play Carl Ilitechew plunged over for the lone score of the afternoon. 1 he Rock, crippled by the loss of Hugo Fiorante, Rob Davis, and Charley Travers, was handed a surprise 21-6 defeat b a strong Ashland eleven. ’The Rocket’s only score came in the third quarter Oil a short pass from McKIhatten to Weller. Adding to the gloom of the day, Jesse Rowers and Joe pekar were placed on the growing list of injuries. Incidentally, the Ashland Eagles finished the 1954 campaign undefeated. Before a disappointed Homecoming crowd, an improved ami spirited Indiana team scored a 32-7 victory over the demoralized Rockets. The Indians led 13-0 at half time as a result of a blocked punt ami an intercepted pass. S. R. failed to score until the last quarter when half-hack Boh Davis scored on a four-yard end run. S. R. lost the services of Vic McElhattan for the remainder of the year due to a severe kidney injury. W ith their ranks sadly depicted by injuries, the Rockets traveled to California and lost to the Vulcans, 34-13. The game was much closer than the score indicates, and it looked for a time as though the Rockets were going to surprise their Fayette County rivals. S. B. scored on a sixty -yard sprint by halfback Dale Reddinger ami a quarterback sneak by Joe Pckar. A bright point of this game was the discovery of Reddinger. who proved to he one of the fastest backs on the team. It.

The Covies from Geneva, revengeful of a 27-13 defeat of a year ago. pounded out a hard-fought 12-6 win over the Rockets at Beaver Falls. After a scoreless first half, Geneva took the ball on their own twelve yard line and started a drive consuming fourteen plays, mostly through the center of the line, which resulted in the first score of the hall game. Four minutes later. Geneva recovered a S. R. fumble and converted this break into another score; Geneva led 12-0. Early in the last quarter. Van Smith passed twenty yards to Dale Reddinger who outran the Geneva secondary for the only Rocket T.D. Later, S. R. had the ball on the Covie twenty yard line, but a fumble ruined the hopes of a score. On November 6, the Clarion Eagles invaded Thompson Field and paced by the hard running of fullback. Pete Caristo. and a strong 200 pound line, defeated the Rockets 36-0. The Green and White furnished weak opposition to the powerful visitors, despite the presence on campus of two members of the staff of Sports Illustrated magazine. Even the Rockets' use of an unorthodox three-man line defense failed to slop the Clarion attack. Slippery Rock met still another stumbling block % when they met the (lashy Westminster Titans on home ground. Led by the superb quarterbacking of sophomore, Harold Davis, the Titan.- dominated the game and racked up a 47-0 victory over the Rockets. 'Flic Green and W hite simply could not stop Davis who ran elusively and passed with deadly accuracy all afternoon. This game marked the second time in twenty years that Westminster has been able to beat a Slippery Rock football team. The Rockets traveled to Berea, Ohio, to meet a Baldwin-W allace team that had failed to win a game all year. Using a Murry of passes. B. W. scored five touchdowns to win 39-19. The Green and White, still fighting after a 32-0 half time score, outplayed B. W. during the second half when they scored three touchdowns, but the deficit was too much to overcome. Scoring for the Rock was done by Bob Weller who scored twice on runs of 55 yards and 60 yards, and freshman halfback. Bob Bayne, who scored on a four-yard plunge. 91 D. Reddinger , J. Higgins V.

Bill Beatty and Tom McGalTic. got off to a slow start in dropping their first six contests. They retaliated, however, by splitting even in their remaining twelve games. In the pre-holiday games, Geneva and Steubenville, small college champs of Pennsylvania and Ohio, respectively, were conquerors of the Rock”; and in two overtime games. Alliance and Clarion came out on top. Both games ended in tie scores but the ''Rock was unable to keep up its scoring pace in the overtime periods. The Smilcymen returned from the Christmas Holidays, and after losses to Indiana and Steubenville, picked up their first victory at Edinboro 78-77. The Rockets featured a well-balanced attack with five men hitting double figures. Jon Pearson gave the Rock” its winning points by sinking two foul shots in the last five seconds. In their second encounter with Alliance, the ' Green and White,” paced by Connie Palumbo’s 32 points and the fine play making of George Petro, won their second game of the year 96-76. After a loss to California, Slippery Rock continued their jinx over Indiana by defeating the highly-favored Indians 97-93. Palumbo and Captain Joe Duffy scored 26 and 25 points, respectively, to thrill a capacity home crowd. Clarion once more defeated the Rock,” and Edinboro squeezed out a 72-67 win in a game that saw the Eagles build up an early 20 point lead which S.R. could never overcome. The Rockets put an end to their losing streak bv defeating the Tomcats” of Thiel, 78-74. At Allegheny, Palumbo and Duffy accounted for 67 points but the Gators” balanced attack proved to be a winner as the Rock” fell 104-88. Traveling to Cleveland, the Rockets hit their highest mark of the season when they swamped Fenn College. 102-72. The district’s upset of the year took place when S.R. defeated Carnegie Tech, 85-71. Tech had previously beat Penn Stale, West Virginia, and Geneva and were vying for their best season in recent years. In the final game of the season Slippery Rock bowed to Wooster College of Ohio, making their season’s record six wins and twelve losses. Only one senior, AI Ithen, will be lost by graduation, and the prospects for next season arc encouraging with all the other members of the squad returning. SWIMMING first ROW—B. Karmazyn, R.

Six meets were held in the home pool, giving local students an excellent chance to sec their team in action. Of these the Rockets came out on top twice, downing Indiana and Fenn. On the road the Rockets did not fare as well winning only once, in the W J pool by a 43-30 margin. Few of the Rocket’s losses were complete routs as they lost to Kent, 46-32, Westminster, 40-35, and Wooster 18-36. Buffalo State inflicted a 57-27 defeat, the widest margin of the season. Coach Jonah turned out a well-balanced team but found difficulty in plugging some of the holes left by graduation. Swimming for Mr. Jonah were Fran Mono. Clyde Fennell, Jim Enos, Jim Clay, Bob Probst, Bill Jones. Whitey” Bohin, Bo” Volz, Boh Swanson. Frank Livingston, Ron Black, Bill Loguc. Jerry Campbell, John Hart, and John Randolph.

This year has been a landmark in striving for our ideal. To major tournaments have been added the individual, dual, and group activities in an attempt to reach everyone with the opportunity of self-realization through participation in a program of sports. .Newest addition to the program is the friendly rivalry be-tween teams from each hall in the dormitory. When not busy playing on tournament teams, girls may play volleyball, badminton, softball, or tennis outdoors, or handball, shuflle-hoard. or ping-pong inside. Others can swim in the college pool, protected by student lifeguards of . A.A. Girls win letters through total accumulation of points awarded for participation in each sport, which encourages letter winners to be versatile rather than skilled in only one activity or sport. Council members, with the help of Miss 1’letz. direct the program, and student participation insures its success. FIRST ROW I. (.hit .. L. Cariiulian. C. Mealy, N. Manchester, N. Acker-Pre.su cnf. B.

Both wins were 9-0 shutouts against Clarion and Indiana respectively. Weather seemed to be the biggest foe of the S. R. net-men. Matches with Allegheny, Youngstown, Geneva, and Clarion had to be cancelled because of rain or wet courts. Big gun of the year in singles matches was Jon Pearson who finished the season with a record of five wins and one loss. Ilis only loss came at the hands of Westminster in the first match of the year.

Playing host to Westminster on April 16th the Rockets out hi t the Titans and squeezed out a 7 to 6 victory. After the cancellation with Indiana, the Green and White traveled to Pittsburgh on April 22nd and met Duquesnc on the Dukes’ home field. Slipper) Rock outhit Duquesnc 14-7, but eight errors gave the Dukes the victory by an B to 3 score. In her next two home games on April 27th and April 29th the Rockets managed to split, downing Alliance 3 to 1 in a pitcher’s battle but dropping a 7 to 5 contest to Allegheny in thirteen innings. Again Slippery Rock outhit Allegheny 13-7 but dropped the contest. On May 5th Geneva lowered the boom on the Jonahmcn 11 to 2 at Reaver Falls. The Rockets’ defense was very erratic in this game and the fact is reflected in the score. The last three contests of the season were on the road also. On May 7th the Rocket nine again met Westminster and this time were on the short end, 5 to I. Slippery Rock ended the season in a winning vein; taking their last two encounters. Thiel was handed a lopsided 12 to 2 trimming and Clarion was hit even harder, 15 to 2. At times the Rockets’ fielding tended to be slipshod ami this accounted for several of their setbacks. The pitching staff was good and proved to be the backbone of the team. Jack Critchfield accounted for all four of the Rock's victories. BASEBALL CapUin J. Critchfield. and Coach Jonah. W . Hloom I .
