College is a creative goal- but the distance between the idea of higher education and attainment is startling. I 4 So you arrive as a traveler presented with a doubtful future. Your mind and actions are a storehouse of a dozen years of preparation, and the past is often un-grasped with a long backward glance and a vision of the future which is dubious. You begin not as a passing visitor but searching for your own part. 5 6 Sonic conic with a wide grin, saying— you can never change me—the grin of sarcasm will never vanish: it is indelible with the ink of past experience. Others come willing to change—looking at college as a place to grow and expand. Then there arc the doubtful. 7 ■A! No matter how you begin the journey, you are alone. There is the sense of multitude as you wait in endless lines, and travel upon crowded walkways—but always there is the singular question— where is my part? The year begins—a year of questions, tampering with the past, presenting a widened future. Perhaps it takes a day—a year—who knows the time of questioning—until you begin to realize that what you are doing daily is the answer to your questioning. Your action is adjusting—it is the traveler's tool for transition. 8 9 10 At lirsi you participate in the events of college living as a mere place holder— number 561571—but the eye adjusts to the unfamiliar and occasions take on a new sense of beauty. The event is no longer an IBM attendance card properly punched to mean you were there. 11 Mere events become symbols of the college life you have begun to accept. The academic life at college is at first frightening. So many books— neatly bound—of pages black on white and the freedom to choose a curriculum or to cut” classes. Verbal sounds soon adapt themselves into actual lecture material and you are communicating—raising your hand to state an opinion—judging the validity of the new material you arc facing. Your intellect becomes active with the stimulus of new ideas and the academic camaraderie you form with new professors and administrators. 14 Home is a four walled room and your front lawn is the expanding campus. New faces greet you with a “HI” and you respond traditionally for you feci almost obligated. Soon, however, there is the How of conversation between two—your roommate and you—and then two becomes a multitude of classmates to whom you feel bonded in living and learning. Faces are distinguished from the mural of passing life and no longer is there a void between you and your fellow student. You lind that emotions adjust to solitude and sharing—a time for each— each in its own place. 15 7 An old letter or school jacket arc part of the past. Your talents of the past are needed here but not with their old meaning. Green and white are only colors with value. Redevelopment of old skills and pride in those newly found will help to achieve the task of college skills. 16 I Decisions are presented to test your capabilities. Organizations, honoraries, fraternities, and sororities meet you as you arrive on campus. The activities of these groups are soon given to memory and recalled with the importance of belonging. 17 18 And so in memory all remains—you have adjusted and come to the end of a transition. Now—only the future remains. 19 ... eyes to beauty EVENTS I AM A HUMBLE FRESHMAN AT S.R.S. COLLEGE. 3HX 103dS3y HIM I N3X30 HODV3 ‘HOfUM 1969 Models come equipped with all freshman parts—dinks, signs, and hags. 22 WE ARE THE FRESH-THE NEW I lie freshmen hatch (egg battles and friends). It is a very long and tedious journey from the front drive of Slippery- Rock’s campus to an integral part of the school. Our possessions may survive the transitions, but will we? New year, new place—eight hundred and thirty-seven of us stand massed together—massed together in our common goals of education, survival, and acceptance. We are the fresh, the new. We enter the lives of those who have survived, who have been accepted. They are the elite—but this will pass . . . We grow with encountered STEP’S, dinks and signs, orientation programs. Fun Night at Thompson Field, sardines, eggs, water balloons, book lines, patience, new professors, new friends, and new responsibilities. Our color is blue. Yes, we have changed, we have grown, we have survived. This time is immortal. We. the Class of 1969. have been accepted into the many integral parts of Slippery Rock State College—and yet this too will pass . . . —Journal of a Freshman HOMECOMING Queen Sherry and her court: Barb Singer. Freshman; Susy I indquist. Junior: Mary Buydoso, Senior: Queen Sherry Rowlands. Sophomore. It is that weekend which means autumn—a weekend of queens and bonfires, the crepe paper of colorful floats. It is that long weekend that is not lost; it is one that renews the spirit of students, as iti some alumni it is rediscovered. The 35th Annual Homecoming used The Twentieth Century Hall of Fame as its theme. The festivities began with the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Sherry Rowlands. Later, as colorful floats weaved their way past the judges’ stand, the winners were chosen. For sororities. Sigma Sigma Sigma placed first, and Alpha Xi Delta second. For fraternities. Sigma Tau Gamma placed first, and Theta Chi second. The highlight of the day came with a victory over Shippensburg. Although it rained, the spirit of the student body and returning alumni, the creativity of the floats, and the beauty of an autumnal day were not dampened. Homecoming—1965. Queen Sherry and her escort. Chuck Trickctt. 24 Kmite's Four Horsemen score first for Sigma Tau Gamma. 25 The Rocklcties step out in the Homecoming Parade. A1 Capp puts the Senior Class in “The Dog Patch.' Theta Chi soars high with the Wright Brothers Churchill's V for Alpha Xi Delta. S.R.'s color guard shines through a rainy day. 26 INNOVATION AND TRADITION li seems as though it has been and will be again. This is tradition. It endures. Slippery Rock State College has always been a college of tradition: in place. Old Main: in people, our HI; in event. One such event is the annual Christmas Choral Concert. Yet Slippery Rock is passing into the fields of the new as well. As the student enrollment grows, some seek the plateaus of higher degrees. Graduate study is increasing and an innovation has been achieved in the master's colors of a candidate in the English curriculum. The traditional endures but the room for new achievement grows. One day it too will endure. 27 GREEK Sigma Pi's Gary Barnes looks for twenty blackbirds. Bui men's shirts button to the right!' 28 K WEEK Annual Greek Week, sponsored by the Panhcl-lenic Council and the Interfraternity Council, took place on Slippery Rock’s campus from November 8 through 12. The festivities were officially begun with a slave auction in the Hut. followed by the Greek skits held in Miller Auditorium. The theme for the fraternity skits was comic strip characters, and competition was judged by Miss Lcitzcl and Mr. Wallace. Alpha Chi Rho placed first with their interpretation of “Popeye the Sailor Man. and Tau Kappa Epsilon placed second for their characterization of L'il Abner. f urther activities included a torch relay and the Greek Olympics, in which Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma tied for first place in fraternities. Alpha Xi Delta and Sigma Sigma Sigma came in first and second, respectively, for sororities. The Powder Puff football game, won by the unified efforts of Kappa Delta and Delta Zeta. was the last athletic event before a Hootenanny, which brought Greek Week to a close. MoWrey's Missies look for a break in the line. Absorbed in the huddle. Barb Curcio questions the play. The pride of winning—“Kappa Delta Zeta.' 29 Hut this goals closer!'

Under the direction of Mr. Milton C'arlcss, the actors and actresses gave brilliant performances of the Tyrone family —Joanne Wells as Mary Tyrone. Les Davis as Jamie Tyrone. Charles Barnhart as James Tyrone, Larry Kendall as Edmund Tyrone, and Barbara Hawn as Cathlecn. the maid. The Theater also plans to produce two more plays this year, the musical of which is the Broadway favorite Bells Arc Ringing.” Tension between two Tyrones. 34 i Dialogue of the fog people. Before the performance the smell of grease paint. Performers can feel the dynamic presence of Mr. Milton Carless on stage. 35 WOMEN’S RUSH The beginning of the Spring semester on Slippery Rock’s campus marks the beginning of women’s Rush. The indecision and sheer joy of this time of a rushee's sorority life offer memories to cherish for a long time to come. Rush begins with a general meeting of all women who think they want to join a bond of sisterhood. As the activities continue. and the scries of events becomes more selective. the rushees make their linal choices. Rush parties this year afforded the girls time to get better acquainted with prospective sororities. Themes for this year’s parties were: Alpha Xi Delta ’ Jamaica’’; Delta Zeta Moonlight on the Mississippi ; Kappa Delta “Hobo ; and Sigma Sigma Sigma Purple Garter . 36 TOGETHER THEY LEARNED BEYOND THEMSELVES-INTO A SISTERHOOD 37 ... intellect to stimuli ACADEMICS Colleagues in the field of education always welcome a forward movement in educational growth. Such a movement has been achieved by Dr. Robert S. Carter. President of Slippery Rock State College, who brought with him a transition to meet the college's expansion and new academic requirements.

Today, it has over 160 chapters and colonics throughout the United States anti Canada with a membership exceeding lOO.OOO men. Of the twelve ideals of the fraternity, the most prominent are honor, justice, morality, learning and fraternalism. The brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha were formally installed at Slippery Rock State College on March 5, 1966. At the present time there arc thirty-one members, including the two faculty advisors. The fraternity believes in well rounded fraternity life, emphasizing scholarship along with the social values of campus life. The many social functions of the fraternity are climaxed by the spring weekend held in May of each year. The advisors are Mr. Geiss and Mr. Shaw. The brothers welcome all men who feel they can measure up to scholastic, moral, and social standards set by this fraternity. 122 THETA XI Thought and discussion of possibilities closed on November 15, 1965, when the first meeting of a brotherly group of men was held for the purpose of planning action. The expansion of Slippery Rock State College's enrollment had not been equalled by its fraternity system. Men seeking common objectives were bound together on a firm and worthwhile foundation. The building blocks of Theta Xi's foundation are brotherhood, scholarship, and discipline. Student Government unanimously passed a constitution onto their local chartcr-Eralernity Council-whieh. on February 7. 1966, accepted it. Thus stood Omega Xi. a local fraternity with a membership of thirty men. The men of Omega Xi felt the standards of Theta Xi exemplified their own. They, therefore, petitioned Theta Xi for a national chapter and on May 14. 1966, became the Beta Upsilon chapter of Theta Xi National Fraternity. The brothers of Theta Xi adopted the Meier House as their fraternity house this year. Their social activities included a spring initiation banquet. THETA XI ROW 1: E.

There is work to be done everywhere—over books, cleaning one’s room, doing laundry, ironing, in dramatic productions, on literary staffs, for clubs and organizations, and for sorority and fraternity life. There is salaried employment available in the cafeteria, library, dormitory reception desks, counseling, field house. Grille, and for professors.

The year, from a standpoint of wins and losses, was average—4-3-1. Under the leadership of Coach Olcott, the Rockets underwent a new change of tactics and gained red badges of courage for their well-placed efforts. The red insignias displayed on the helmets of football players represent extra efforts in intercepting passes, blocking a punt, tackling a passer, or recovering fumbles. Coach Olcott was our man this year, his first year here, and he'll be the man to back this coming year. There were times when we saw bright spots something like Tim turning a corner and touchdown. Wilke up the middle for another live, Miceli off tackle. Brine to Walsh, Cullin's work that earned him All- - American honors, Lucido's consistency. DiRiso’s strength and strategy, and the mighty forearm of “Big Nick. Next year we will lose some good members of the one hundred and ten percent club, but Coach Olcott has foreseen this and has already begun to plan new tactics and strategy. May he make great men. 130 The strength of twenty men. The All-American. (Cullin) Quick anil mean. (I.ucido) Wilt another angle, another corner turned.

He had the exceptional ability to put the ball where the goalie wasn't. He also possessed a rare quality—the will to win. So Lubinsky, a player scoring five goals in one game, and the rest of Egli’s footmen, proved to be the best ever at the Rock. 134 p,,. 15 20 15 21 25 24 24 30 47 33 17 37 i. Vallimont, D. Anderson.

HARRIERS CROSS COUNTRY The record the harriers posted last season was second in the stale, hut what most spectators didn't realize was that Mr. Gates only scheduled meets out of the team's class. This is good if it doen't affect the runners, and it didn't seem to. Cross country is a lonely sport. People don't come to cheer because it covers almost live miles —through all kinds of hazards. It's a game where a man must beat himself before he can beat the game. He must tell himself that there is a downhill somewhere on the course, and he can’t pay attention to the pain in his chest. The race must go on. and when it is over there is a satisfaction. The man knows he is of a special breed. He can smile when he passes mockers who say “They're crazy!” They're not. and it takes doing to know.

A coach once said, A little speed, a little talent, a little work together, and a little height is all you need to beat this game.” Coach Baicrl had everything but “a little height. and it cost him and his roundballers. They had game after game that was a few points one way or the other—usually the other. It all went back to a little height.” Our juniors have the missing link. Coach Baierl has always had contenders and he has learned to overcome any problem. If he can put a team together that can replace Boyd and help the golden arm of Perkins, we’re in. The crowd will be there cheering again next year—a year for Rocket comeback. 138 Augustinello puts the shot. INDOOR TRACK Indoor track is a preparation for the big outdoor season.

A meet would start with the agile floor exercise group headed by the poised John Dallar. and would finish with the invincible, bone-crushing group lead by Herculean Tom Parker. At the end of the season, with 11-2 in the win-loss column, with many records crumbled, with the final count showing that this team was by far the most exceptional team in the history of the college, our President. Dr. Carter, saw to it that we were given enough money to compete at the Small College National Gymnastic Meet. There must have been some opposition, but the results stunned the opposers. The team finished sixth in the nation, and boasted three All-Americans: Dallar, vaulting; Horne, lloor exercise; Bussard, side-horse.

Wrestling is a game of moves, and it's a game of one man against another man. The 1965-1966 team was an average team with a few good wrestlers (George, Phillis. Pushnig, Simmons), and one very exceptional wrestler—Anderson. From the stands a spectator loses some of his poise during some of the excitement caused when a good wrestler meets an equally good opponent. It is painful when the spectator watches his choice go down to riding time, or a reversal in the last few seconds of the match. Mental errors are usually the reason for a man losing by a point or two. The wrestler thinks, as he loses sleep the same night, if only . . . Watching Anderson is another story. Rarely docs he have a close match. His total points scored against opponents exceeded a hundred. He has speed, strength, a quick mind, and is a takedown artist who never quits. The spectators watch and cheer in amazement. We hope, in the future, that he'll go on to be champion of the state, and that the good wrestlers shoot for heights he has already attained.

The spectators were dropped to their knees, and the old “no pain, no gain” proved us best. There were numerous state champions —200-yard freestyle, Hutchison (1st) and Dugan (3rd): 200-yard individual medley. Erdos (1st) and McCandless (3rd); diving.

It was a good year for our watermen, and all owe Coach Egli a handshake and a smile. 145 itMCN BASEBALL It was a good year in baseball. With Artie behind the plate, there were no stolen bases. There were ball hawks like Jim and Dick in the infield, and hitters like Jon playing the outfield. Even when Coach Rose had to call for a substitute, he was in. When he called for an outfielder one afternoon, the outfielder’s first time at bat in the season, the outfielder pounded the ball over the left licld wall. Nice job Keith. When it came to pitching, we were the best. There was a good freshman and a few good backers. A backer on SR's team is someone pitching when Milliorn isn’t. Milliorn has all the school records in pitching and rightly so. He has a curve that looks like a fish hook, and he can pul it on any corner. Slippery Rock has a winning team every year—good luck hard-bailers, and do it again. 146 'f7 STATISTICS S.R.

TENNIS Of all the varsity sports that utilize a type of ball in their games, this game has the fastest moving ball. It is a game of quick moves and agile wrists. We will need a replacement this coming year. Jim has been with us the past few years, and we will be hard pressed to find another like him. Many of our wins have been decided by a swat caused by his long arm. Our team is always up in there, and if we find a replacement or two, it will continue to do so. Bad weather haunted the team this year. Tennis is a summer sport rather than a spring sport. Too much is jammed in too fast on these boys. They manage to handle the situation well. 149 GOLF Slippery Rock’s golf team finished second in the state. They had all the ingredients it takes to win it except an exceptional golfer. They were all good. But there wasn’t an Onako or Byler in the group. To win it next year means that one of our good players will have to spend his summer living with a few of those little white balls. After the basics are mastered in the game, it becomes a story of who does what on the green. A golfer can't spend enough time on the green. He may go out and sink a twenty-live footer on hole seven for a bird, but miss a putt for a par. on hole eight, that was only three feet away. Here's hoping that Coach Baierl's boys sink those puts this coming year.

We’re used to that at Slippery Rock. With the fastest sprinter in our school’s history out because of an auto wreck, the rest of the team went down to the state meet and chewed up West Chester and the others. It was Fred Crissman piking on his pole and twisting into a handstand and dropping into the pit. When the judges measured, it was Fred who went the highest again. Something a little higher than fourteen feet was the final measurement. Nice job. We had our freshman or two, but one of those freshmen went a little wild. Every time he walked into his little circle, spun, and let his discus go. it was a new conference record. The other schools didn't believe it until Bucky went to the state meet and dazzled them. The next man who deserves words is Robby. At the state meet he ran in two events as an individual. Fie broke the school record, and he broke the state record in both. He ran the quarter mile in 48.5 and came back to win the half mile in 1:54.6. Every motion of his stride is straight ahead. There is no Haw in his form. Next year our team will win it again because men like Bucky and LaVcrne will be out there winning events and points. TRACK 151 m t i f ORGANIZATIONS YEA BIG GREEN . • • 154 S.R.'s Cheerleaders. When the day is damp, our team is two points behind, and school spirit is lagging, the student body is blessed with peppy coeds who pull the lines out of frowning faces and aid us in helping our team win. Their trademarks are energy, the colors of green and white, boisterous yells, school spirit, physical fatigue of victory, and athletic events—especially football. The Rocklettcs are seen mainly during football season—first on the held practicing routines, and finally presenting the perfected steps of a girls marching drill team. The captain. Donna Falocchio, works diligently along with sponsor Mrs. Murray to maintain the standards set since the Rocklettcs were formed in 1960. The majorettes also shine during football season —especially at half-time. Their activities include not only twirling the baton, but also keeping time to music and coordinating marching and baton movements. The cheerleaders also have a dedicated job, for they must promote campus participation and school spirit. Active for both fall and winter sports, the Cheerleaders also “Scash ’em with jumps, cheers and gymnastic feats. The girls selected for positions on any of these three squads are judged by appearance, gymnastics, general school spirit, and the will to keep ’em winning.” 155 FIGHT!

It is equally important to express opinion as well as fact, and the Aphobians. Debate Club, and WNFT practice the freedom of such expression. The Aphobians were organized as an independent organization in the spring of 1963. The club's main purpose is to promote freedom of thought and verbal, as well as written, expression. Meetings are held once a month and center around guest speakers or topics chosen by vote of the members. The Debate Club, one of the oldest clubs on campus, encourages students who are interested in intercollegiate debate or forensics. Any student interested in this type of activity is invited to attend. WNFT. the college operated radio station, was founded in 1962. By offering experience in the fields of educational and commercial radio, it also provides the campus with student news, entertainment. and other activities of interest. The station manager is Walt Obermeier; the sponsor is Mr. Carl Laughncr. Slippery Rock welcomes such means of communication. and hopes to stimulate more such activity on our campus. 157 COMMUNICATION • • PRESS CLUB ROW I: C. Crawford. A. Hubler, J. Conners. M.

The only qualifications necessary for membership are an interest in dancing and creation through dance. Orchcsis aims to provide opportunities to learn dance techniques as well as to develop skills in the area of dance interest. The achievement of friendship and an appreciation for dance are also accomplished by Orchcsis. One project of Orchcsis is the spring dance concert, in which the dance routines are choreographed by student members. This year’s concert.

A yearbook is in many ways an eighteen-syllable haiku. There arc the human mistakes and technical errors, but beneath the mechanics lies the meaning. The meaning is the interacting of people on the college campus. Each of us views the campus in perspective—each perspective with the lens of individuality. The near-sighted see only the immediate. Their motions are the brisk, active moves—the pulscbcat of the campus in double-time. The far-sighted see the intangibles—the lofty and illusive goals of future vision. The astigmatic fail to see any focal point—immediate or long-ranged. Their perspective of the campus is a disillusioned one. The staff and I had hoped to view the campus from all perspectives, making the final gaze that which is uniquely our own—uniquely SRSC. Perhaps, as with the haiku, ours was an imperfect attempt. Yet. the meaning remains for you to uncover. It is there. —B.
