Foreword In 1910. the first Slippery Rock yearbook, the Ananmisis, was published by the class of 1910. The Ananmisis measured a mere 5% inches by 9 4 inches. Fifty years later the class of I960 presents the 1960 Saxigena. The I960 Saxigena measures 8 4 inches by 11 inches. Through the past fifty years more than just the size of the yearbook has changed. New buildings have been built, enrollment has increased twelve times, the length of time required to receive a degree has changed from 3 to 4 years, the name of the school has been changed twice from Normal School to State Teachers College and most recently to State College, and many other advancements have been made. Yet with the innumerable changes which have occurcd at Slippery Rock, the foreword to the 1910 Ananmisis is as true today as it was fifty years ago. To induce fond recollections, to renew old acquaintances, to furnish amusements. interest, and information for our friends and our posterity, to extend the influence of our Alma Mater, to make lasting the ties of friendship of 1910, and to gather, file, and preserve the activities of a busy year in these few pages has been our constant aim. We sincerely trust that everything herein will be taken in the spirit of good fellowship, and that this book may do much to maintain and promote the spirit of Old Normal. To the class of 1910 and their Ananmisis the 1960 50th anniversary Saxigena is respectfully dedicated. 2
