DEDICATION IN APPRECIATION of the untiring interest and earnest- ness he has shown for the welfare of our class, we, the Class of 1931, respectfully dedicate The Serpentine to Our Class Adviser, CHARLES S. SWOPE. Charles S. Swope was born among the charming and rugged hills of Huntington County, Pennsylvania. After completing his preliminary education he taught a rural school for two years at Todd, Pennsylvania. He entered West Chester State Normal School in 1919 where he took an active part in the Aryan Literary Society. Upon completion of his work at West Chester, he accepted a p osition in the Pennington School for Boys, Pennington, New Jersey, where he served as Supervisor of the grades for two years. During the summer vacation he continued his studies at Pennsylvania State College. In the fall of 1923 Mr. Swope carried out his plan to con- tinue his college education, whereupon he matriculated at Dickinson College and was graduated with the A.B. degree in 1925. Upon his graduation from college he was invited to return to the Pennington School for Boys where he became instruc- tor in history. However, he was interested in administra- tive work and accepted the election of Superintendent of Public Schools in Everett, Pennsylvania, in 1926. Here he served for one year when he accepted the position ot Instruc- tor in Social Studies in the West Chester State Teachers College. Mr. Swope continued his graduate studies at the ' University of Pennsylvania where he received the M.A. degree. Mr. Swope is interested and earnest in his educational work. He is also actively engaged in the Y. M. C. A. and debating work in the College.
