SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania 1964 SAXIGENA A HISTORY OF PROGRESS A year gone by . . . Seventy-five years have passed in our realm. Our hopes, ambitions, joys, and fears arc the same, and yet so different, from those of the students of 75 years ago. The times have changed and Slippery Rock College has changed. We have passed a great milestone, and now, we have only memories remaining. It is these that the 1964 Saxigcna has tried to capture—the memories of a year gone by. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Student Life . . . Page 4 Classes. . . Page 24 Administration and Academics . . .

The progress made by Slippery Rock State College in the past year is an excellent tribute to its fine administration. In this year, 1964, the 75th Anniversary of Slippery Rock State College, it is possible for us to observe a partial end to the visions of the school’s founders—the opportunity to enter a profession of idealism and service to children and youth, and now to obtain a broader education in the newly established Liberal Arts program of the College. 56 While President Norman Wciscnfluh was on a sabbatical this past semester, acting president John Edwards headed the group of administrators whose duty it is to assure a successful culmination to the “era” that is now beginning—that of rapid growth and development of Slippery Rock College. DR. JOHN EDWARDS A part of the administration is the Hoard of Trustees, which is composed of outstanding people from the fields of education, service, and business. The diverse abilities of the members of the Hoard of Trustees and the service each has been willing to give to the College has been instrumental in making Slippery Rock College a better institution. This is the group which is working to make our school an even better one than it already is. This is the group which is attempting to fulfill the dreams of all who have represented Slippery Rock College in the past and in the present. This is the group who must guide us through a period destined to be the most dynamic and successful in the 75 year history of our Slippery Rock State College. Mr. Kenneth Harris.

In this, the 75th Anniversary year of the College, the Art Department has, through various displays and art shows, made itself well known to all students, faculty, administration, and some alumni of Slippery Rock State. Through various courses, such as creative design, arts and crafts, and jewelry, talented students are provided with the opportunity to allow their creative ability to come alive.” Interesting highlights of the Art Department are the art shows at the end of each semester that display to the school the art work done in various classes that semester. This year, the Art Department also presented showings of the art work done by the faculty of the Department.

The Elementary Department of Slippery Rock offers to its students, majoring in Elementary Education, this specialized preparation for the teaching of young children. Over the long years that the Department has been in existence, it has built a program of study that best prepares educators to assume qualified positions by setting high standards for graduation. Recently, the Department announced that Elementary majors must now obtain a minor field of study in an academic subject. This program will offer to the youth of our state the opportunity of a more concentrated study of important subjects in the primary and intermediate grades. The Elementary graduate of Slippery Rock State College is equipped to teach children anywhere, and in return for his work and dedication, he receives satisfaction for his effort by knowing that he has greatly influenced young minds and their ideas.

McKay ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Like all other departments throughout Slippery Rock State College, the English Department has adjusted its program and courses to offer students a broader view ; and command of the English language and of literature. This year, the department, due to the concentrated efforts of the English professors themselves, has succeeded in bringing to the English majors numerous new and concentrated American literature courses. Those students interested in the study of the works of American authors will now be able to develop more fully their knowledge of this area of study. This department has also continuously strived to prepare its majors with the ability of reasoning and interpreting literature in terms of their lives and the lives of their future students. Slippery Rock is in a period of great growth and development. The English Department, too. is expanding the opportunity to its majors to develop fully and masterfully in their chosen subjects. A yearly highlight of the English Department is the presentation of the Matilda Bailey Award at the annual Student Awards Assembly. Dr. John A. Huz .ard speaking with Joe Caklcronc Mr. Harris reviews a test with one of his classes Ts I GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT The Geography Department of Slippery Rock State College offers to its majors the opportunity to develop greater knowledge of not only the physical makeup of our own country and the world, but also knowledge of the culture of different peoples and countries of the world, and the relationships of both of these factors to the world as it is today. The Department also encourages its majors to acquire a greater interest in their chosen field, so that they will be able to transfer their learning and interest to the students they will later instruct. In this manner, the Geography Department feels that a greater concern may be developed for the much needed study of geography and related subjects. Members of the Geography Department, as well as those concerned with all of the College, were greatly grieved by the death of Mr. Roy T. Hickman, a geography professor at Slippery Rock for many years. George G. West. John M. Ball. John Goetz. Robert A. Davis He is gone who seem'd so great— Gone, but nothing can bereave him Of the force he made his own Being here . . . —Tennyson Roy T. Hickman t 67 HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Health and Physical Education Department of Slippery Rock State College endeavors to equip young men and women for successful careers in the profession of teaching health and physical education. This goal is accomplished by giving the students both classroom study and practical experience. In addition to the requirement of student teaching, the Department also arranges the opportunity for majors to instruct both college students and elementary students from the Laboratory School. Working in the atmosphere of the best possible professional equipment, the Health and Physical Education Department provides its majors with the opportunity to develop the best possible skills and knowledge of the most professional advances.

This year, in the 75th Anniversary' of the College, the developments at Maltby illustrate that it has evolved as one of the fastest advancing departments of the College. The establishment of a new microfilm library, additions to the record department, accessioning of many new volumes in all fields of study, and the acquisition of many new film strips available for student use illustrate a few examples of the vast expansion of our library. The library also offers a service to the students enabling them to make photostatic copies of any materials they wish. This year, the Library Department has been planning a course of study in Library-Science. which will be offered to students next year. 70 Clair McClure. Anthony Pagano. Hubert Voltz. Dale Shafer MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT The faculty and the students of the Mathematics Department are proud of their position at Slippery Rock State College in its 75th Anniversary year. Studying for improved teaching plus new modern teaching techniques in the field of “Modem Math, the students continuously strive for higher quality of understanding of their knowledge of mathematics. This year, the faculty of the Department, because of the greater demands which are being placed upon math teachers by the high schools of today, strengthened its program of study, with the knowledge that, although they have already achieved a well-rounded math program, much more can be and will be offered to the students. Under the program of the Mathematics Department, the math major gains a great deal, for these advanced courses immeasurably aid his education, and consequently, his usefulness to the community as a whole. r 71 Mr. McClure explaining something to a student while Mr. Voltz watches Alma V. Ladd, Richard B. O’Connell, Gertrude S. Landis MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The Modern Language Department is one of the newest departments in the educational program of Slippery Rock State College. Although it is not able to trace its ancestry back to the founding of the College it has risen quickly to take its place of great importance along with the other teacher education departments. In addition to equipping young men and women for successful teaching careers in the field of Modern Languages, the department also seeks to establish a basic understanding of the people of the foreign country and to familiarize the student with the history, development and literature of the nation. This will enable him to become professionally capable of contributing a greater knowledge to the youth he will instruct. To accomplish these aims, the Department offers a great variety in its program of study. t 72 i MUSIC DEPARTMENT Although still fairly small in size, the Music Department of Slippery Rock State College imparts an enormous meaning in the lives of all students of the College. In the past years, the Department has broadened its course of study to present the opportunity for students to develop better musical skills and to cultivate a deeper appreciation of classical and contemporary music. The extracurricular activities of the Music Department arc the most recognized by the students. During football season, the Band provides music for student cheers and halftime entertainment; the College Choir provides music at the Christmas Concert; and in the Spring, the Glee Club presents the Annual Variety Show. All of these endeavors arc received by the students and the faculty with much pleasure and enjoyment. Edward R. Sims, Clair M. Swope. Mary K. Brennan. Dwight B. Baker 73 Allen V. l rsen and Harold T. Wicand PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT The Philosophy Department of Slippery Rock State College expanded its course offerings for the first time in this, the 75th Anniversary year of the College. Previously, the department offered only Introduction to Philosophy. Realizing that the teacher must also become a functioning member of a society which is growing more complex and complicated, the Philosophy Department attempts to instill in the student the ability to analyze his problems logically, to study the philosophies of different men. and to review and discuss the accepted ethics of the modern world. A graduate of Slippery Rock Stale College is not only equipped as a teacher in his specialized field, but also a person trained in the ability to think and solve his problems deductively, reasonably, and intelligently. 74 PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT The chief objective of the Psychology Department is to provide an opportunity for all students to acquaint themselves with the principles of general and educational psychology. Thus, they hope to enable the students to prepare themselves for positions of responsibility in the field of teaching. During recent semesters, the Department has been planning a course of study in Special Education. They have offered numerous courses involving an understanding of special education and modern techniques used in teaching in this area. A unique feature offered by the Psychology Department is the Counselor Program. By participating in this program, students are able to learn more about psychology and counseling through actual experience. After taking the required courses, the student has the opportunity to counsel a child from the Laboratory School. Psychology students make use of SR's closed circuit TV Jack C. Dinger. Charles M.

They are in school at a time when the world and nation arc giving a new emphasis to the importance of science, as is evidenced by the increased study of science in high schools and the new developmental programs that are being conducted over the country. This Atomic Age requires people with initiative, ability, imagination, and willingness to work. The students majoring in the sciences at Slippery Rock are given the opportunity to discover and accept the challenge presented, and then move forward with the spirit of Slippery Rock and the times.

This Department prepares students to assume, upon graduation, the role of a history, cultural, and political science teacher on the secondary level. To achieve this purpose, the course of study is divided into three branches, history, sociology, and political science. Every social studies major is required to take courses from all three branches. The general program gives the students the opportunity to enrich their background in general history and increase their competency in the knowledge of basic facts. Elective courses provide the student with a choice of subjects that enable him to develop a greater knowledge and understanding in his own chosen area of interest. 78 Scene from a play directed by a Modern in Plav Production class Radio and Television SPEECH DEPARTMENT With classrooms located in West Gym, the Speech Department of Slippery Rock State College offers courses to all students so that they may develop and improve their speaking voice, volume and special techniques. To the students majoring in Speech, the Department, in addition to teaching the students the fundamental techniques and principles of their field of specialization, endeavors to develop a questioning degree of curiosity in its students. The Department also tries to encourage the students to contribute through these skills to the betterment and improvement of the College. Realizing that the teacher must also take his place as a member of the community, the Speech Department attempts to instill in the students the ability to recognize true and false analogies in speech and reasoning. The Speech Department offers specialized courses which later benefit the student in his teaching career. Such courses as Radio and Television and Stagecraft enable the Speech major to develop a greater knowledge of the various types of speech used in different media. Manuel Ruhr. Carl Laughner. Milton Carlcss Here, let me try that! SECONDARY EDUCATION The Secondary Education Department of Slippery Rock State College offers to students majoring in all secondary subjects, courses to acquaint them with the history of this division and methods and techniques of teaching students on the secondary level. During its existence, the Education Department has continuously developed and improved its program by offering new courses that will have a definite bearing on the students actual teaching career. It is dedicated to extending the frontiers of existing professional knowledge, promoting higher professional standards, and providing consultative service to the students to improve their overall educational study. The Department has realized that essential to the successful pursuit of teaching is a knowledge of the nature of students and the learning process, the function of education in a changing society, and specialized preparation in a chosen field. Through the courses offered by the Education Department, the students in education at Slippery Rock State College acquire a good professional attitude of their teaching careers. STUDENT TEACHING Important to every student majoring in education at Slipper)’ Rock State College is the Student Teaching Administration. There is little doubt in the minds of educators that the period of time spent in Student Teaching is invaluable. At no other time is an equal opportunity offered to future teachers. With this thought in mind, the Department has taken upon itself the task of placing students in various co-operating schools, and also of instructing the student teachers in a weekly professional practicum class. It is during this semester that the student teacher is presented with the actual teaching profession: and he learns not only how to instruct and deal with students and their problems, but also acquires the necessary knowledge of the Pennsylvania School Law and its functions. The Student Teaching Department has always sought to establish a sound practical experience for students, to bring about an understanding of the relationships between students and teachers, and to disseminate knowledge in all fields pertinent to the development of better teachers.

James Rcnn Student teaching at the lab school LABORATORY SCHOOL The Slippery Rock State College Laboratory School provides professional practice and observation for all students majoring in education at the College. By incorporating various elementary classes in the courses of study offered by the concentrated educational departments of the College, it is possible to provide college students the opportunity to become acquainted with actual teaching experiences. This year, the Laboratory School, in cooperation with the Audio-Visual Department of the College, provided college students the opportunity to observe actual elementary classes in progress. This was done by means of the Campus closed circuit television station. 81 I ORGANIZATIONS l i HONORARY FRATERNITIES Row I: Mr. John. Donna Gross. David MacMillin, Will- James Evans.

The Redmen scored 38 points in the final quarter after leading 21 to 12 through three periods of play. The Rockets were able to cross the Northeastern goal line only twice in the third quarter. The first of these two touchdowns came on a nine yard run around end by quarterback Stan Truskowski. Jim McElhancy. who was voted outstanding lineman in the game, scored the only other Rocket points when he received a ten yard pass from Truskowski. 123 FOOTBALL Contrary to popular belief, history doesn’t repeat itself. The Rocket gridders copped their third consecutive Western Conference Championship, but were defeated by West Chester State College in state championship play 36-6. Led by co-captains Larry Kunsclman and Joe Daniels, the Rockets compiled an impressive 6-1-1 record. A loss to Westminster College was the only blemish” on their record. A crucial victory for Coach Godlasky’s team came when John Gorsin kicked a 28 yard field goal to upend Indiana Stale College 10-7. Slippery Rock participated in the All-Sports Bowl at Oklahoma City, and were defeated (but not outplayed) by Northwestern Oklahoma, one of the finest small college teams in the United States. 124 Duane Kirklin accepts outstanding player award from the President of West Chester State College—Championship game, 1963 Row I: J.
