HONOR TO WHOM
Miss Bessie M. Runyax, whose long service to the Clarion
Junior High School and to a generation of students is measured
in years of meritorius effort, has endeared herself to all. Through
her guidance and sympathetic understanding, student teachers
have come to know her as the kindest of friends. Miss Runyan's
retirement at the end of this school year will constitute a distinct
loss to the school, and those who have profited by her long
teaching experience feel that future .students will be deprived of
a valuable association. Her sterling character and gracious
manner have revealed the heights to which the teaching profes-
sion rises and have given us a noble example to emulate.
HONOR IS DUE
Through her offices as dean and teacher Miss Helen D.
Sims has made immeasureable contributions to the College.
Successfully combining the qualities of executive friend and
adviser, she has dealt capably, yet sympathetically, with the
numerous issues arising from campus life. Her classes have led
to a deep appreciation of the subjects she has taught, for her
excellent pedagogy imparts new color and life to class work.
Dormitory life, as well, is indebted to Miss Sims for her efficient
direction and her perfect understanding of co-ed problems. Her
continued relations with the College assure a future of well-
directed, progressive school life.
jo^ewow
Dr. Riemer hands a senior his diploma, a symbol of achievement, the
realization of an ambition to secure a college education.
It has been the desire of the staff to use Our President's favorite word,
achievement, as the theme of the 1936 Sequelle. With this aim in view
we have attempted to depict the accomplishments of the classroom, the
individual, the group, and the athlete at Clarion.
At this time we, the graduates, wish to express our gratitude to Dr.
Riemer for his warm personal interest in us. Never too busy to help us
with our problems, always fair in his criticisms and commendations, he
will live long as an influence upon many of us.
As we go out to teach, we shall strive to make the best possible use of
our training here and to give ample returns in service to tiic Common-
wealth for the opportunities it has affordetl us.
With these thoughts in mind, we become the gratluates of 1936.

INTRODUCE THE FACULTY
DR. G. C. L RIEMER
President
Greetings:
If I were again to choose my life's work,
I would again choose to be a teacher.
No profession transcends in developing
power that of the teacher. That is why the
work of the teacher has grown in the esteem
of the public during the last half century and
is gaining in prestige from year to j^ear.
Its responsibilities have become greater
and more exacting. Instead of only a few
months a year the pupil spends nine or more
months a year under the teacher's care;
instead of only three or four grades the public
school system now consists of twelve or more
grades. Its personnel, numbering close to
one million teachers, embraces now a finer,
better educated, more dynamic type of man
and woman than ever before.
Teaching service is an important agency
for human betterment. None other is more
powerful. Bjr precept and example it in-
fluences the individual, community, state, and
nation. Our Commonwealth considers it im-
portant enough to make it free and compul-
sory. It is essential to the continuance of its
democratic way of life. Lack of knowledge
and skill would weaken the earning power of
each individual, make him less able to con-
tribute to the general welfare of his fellows,
and lessen his chances for the enjoj^ment of
life.
Teachers have alwaj-s been the torch-
bearers of the human race. It is through them
that our cultural and intellectual heritage is
handed on from generation to generation.
However, teachers do more than that. They
enable oncoming generations to improve and
increase what they have received.
The teacher occupies the strategic position
of inspiring, stimulating, and encouraging
growing boys and girls. Who cannot recall
how some teacher fired his ambition, influenc-
ed his way of living, inclined him toward the
right rather than the wrong, pointed out
possibilities of all-round development, set
goals worth}^ of attainment?
Yes, if I were again to choose m.\ life's
work, I would again choose to be a teacher.
Only the clamor of the lower Seminary
Hall breaks the silence of the President's
office. In this office we find Dr. Riemer busily
engaged with the business of the day, inter-
\iewing faculty memliers, students, and
luunerous other visitors whom he is never too
weary to address with kindly interest.
All who enter either of the two I'ear rooms
oil the second floor of Seminary Hall must
learn the art of speaking or study the nature
and the functions of the mind. From Miss
Marwick we learn the art of developing and
using effective and vitalized speech. With
1 )r. Hohan, our psychology professor, we
study about the laws of psychological develoj)-
mcnt, the reasons we behave as we do. and
what, if anything, wc can do about it.
Air. Becker has the combined responsibili-
ties of professor of education and director of
the Thaddeus Stevens Training School. In
addition to his regular classroom and ad-
iiiinistrativc duties he has been an inspiring
leader in the various activities of the Young
Men's Christian Association and in the Bible
Study flroup.
Before we may receive a degree in second-

ary education, we must have some actual
teaching experience under the guidance of
Mr. Hoyt, Miss Graham, and Miss Runyan
in the Clarion Junior High School. The
science and mathematics students must meet
the approval of Mr. Hoyt; for Miss Graham
all the student teachers must prepare units of
English. Miss Runyan is supervisor of student
teaching in algel)ra, business training, history,
geography, and Latin. This year completes
her forty-fourth year in the teaching service,
the last twelve of which were spent in the
Clarion Junior High School.
Fe2-|-H2S04^? Burners, lamps, beakers,
test tubes, and pumps are all to be found in
Dr. Peirce's Laboratory. Besides his duties
as a science professor, he holds the office of
dean of men, an office which places him in
direct contact with the men students.
"How many bones does a shark have?
And does it have any gristle in it?" Through
Mr. Manson questions of this kind, we learn
the role of the single cell in plant and animal
life.
Classroom tediousness is offset by gym-
nasium classes under the direction of Miss
Barton and Mr. Tippin. As women's athletic
coach. Miss Barton teaches the women
students such games as soccer, hockej', hand-
ball, and basketball.
Mr. Tippin is the head coach of football
and basketball. He organizes the intramural
sports program and directs many other minor
sports programs which are of particular inter-
est to the students and friends of the college.
We hear from a Music Hall window,
"What is the key signature?" What we
hear is Miss Rich teaching a music class.
AND UNDER CLASSES ..
"Let's Go Collegiate" was a note-worthy per-
formance under her direction.
To learn what makes things attractive, we
study art under the guidance of Miss Sand-
ford. In the production "Let's Go Collegiate"
all of the effectiveness of the scenes was the
result of her artistic suggestions.
"Does the revolution or rotation of the
earth produce our day and night? In high
altitudes is there a great or little diurnal
range in temperature? What is the weather
forecast for today?" These are some of the
questions heard in the geography department,
which is under the supervision of Dr. Dow.

Dance held in the Becht Hall dining room on
May 23.
Freshman week began on September 23
and continued throughout the week. Tem-
porary class officers were chosen, whose first
Inisiness was to direct the Freshnum Dance.
This dance was held in the Becht Hall dining
room. Neal Buckley and his orchestra fur-
nished the music for the occasion. The ne.xt
activity of the class was the election of per-
nuinent officers. At this election, which was
held in December, the following persons were
chosen as the leaders: president, Marcus
Priester; vice-president, James Call; secre-
tary, Thomas Hosack; treasurer, Marian
Henn.

the supervision of Miss Hepler, Miss Walters,
Miss Leifeste, Miss Easlej^, Miss Gamble, and
Miss Mohney. Miss Hepler and Miss Walters
supervise the first grade rooms. Miss Leifeste
is the supervisor of the second grade. On the
second floor in the Training School we find
Miss Easley in charge of the third grade. Miss
Gamble and Miss Mohney are in charge of the
intermediate grades, Miss Gamble supervising
the fourth and Miss Mohnej' the fifth.
From the neolithic age to the present day
we follow the trends of civilization, being
guided in our study by Dr. Heiges, who
insists that we answer the questions asked
and not ones of our own choosing.
Miss Sims occupies her time with the
combined duties of Latin professor and dean
of women. Through her assiduous efforts the
women's dormitory is a pleasant and home-
like place in which to live. Little escapes her
eye, and all retiring hours are kept with
exactitude.
Literature texts, college handbooks, work-
books, themes, and numerous guide sheets all
suggest the means by which Miss Nair and
Miss Boyd would lead us to better apprecia-
tion of literature and to more effective expres-
sion. In addition to her regular duties as
teacher, Miss Nau- is the facultj'- adviser of
the college publications, the "Clarion Call"
and the "Sequelle." Miss Boyd has directed
a number of plaj^s throughout the year; she
is also the Panhellenic adviser.
Illustrated perceptual devices, acute and
obtuse angles, parallelograms, and manj- odd
looking symbols decorate the blackboards in
]\Ir. Carey's room. Here we learn everj-thing
from simple computation through the develop-
ment of that elusive binomial theorem.
Among the many thousand volumes in our
library you can find Miss Carlson busily
engaged shelving the books, arranging the
files, and checking magazines; making the
room neat, orderly, and conducive to study.
All persons going to the general office are
first met bj' Miss Armstrong, the gracious
secretary to the President, who admits us to
the president's office and, among her many
duties, keeps our individual record sheets.
Children in second grade ilcmonatratc their nhililies.
Bccau.sc oi' the inclcincnt wcuthcr, rcsult-
in{< in colds, almost all of us have visited the
Health Office. Here we find Miss Edmiston
performing her duties as the College nurse and
assisting the College physician, Dr. Mills.
Tlircc times a day we students without
much urging finil our way to the dining
liail. The well-balanced and attractively
served meals that we partake of there are a
joy provided us by the college dietician, Miss
Scylcr.

Training School
licfore being qualifierl to teach, the grad-
uating sophomores and seniors in tlie elemen-
tary held nnist do their student teaching
in the Thaddeus Stevens Training School.
Here llicy observe and b'ach under the diicct
Mipcr\isi(in of tlic critic teachers.
In the training school the cliijd finds
liiniscH' in an environment, I'icli in many in-
terests .and material whicii alToi'd iiim an
abuii(hii;ce of e(hicative activities, in tiiis
picture we see a group of second grade boys
actively engaged, following their interests in
their study of boats.
In the foreground we have an example of
freedom of thought and activity. Each boy
is i)rogressing at his own rate with the con-
struction of his boat. Consequently, individual
differences are provided for. At the right of
the picture we see floor construction work,
which gives the child freedom in working
with large pieces of materials. In the back-
ground we can see a completed boat in which
the children enjoy taking a ride. The values of
this and like projects are mmierous because
situations arise which iiring about the need for
arithmetical computations, proper manner of
speech, and free use of language. The child-
ren's own initiative is stimulated,and they may
further their creative expression by dramatiz-
ing suitable projects.
The child is given much freedom in choos-
ing an activity in which he is particularly
interested and liy which he develops his
thinking and creates new ideas.
This picture is representative of tlie pro-
gi'essive type of work Ijcing cari'icd on in
the campiis tr.aining school.

LEAVES CLARION PORTALS
As we leave, our thoughts sHp back to
just four years ago when this aspiring group
below began their matriculation. We very
soon became an influential organization under
the efficient presidency of James Kanengeiser.
But Jim and his classmate, Donald Hiwiller,
were not always on their dignity. They have
been the authors of many a classroom boner.
Aida Hanst was their fellow-sufferer in those
physics courses. We shall remember that
characteristic stride of hers first of all and
then her resourcefulness, good humor, and
charm as a hostess.
Remember how we liked to tease Isabel
Crawford? She had such a quick temper.
Isabel, Eileen Luce, and John Donheiser were
the song birds of our class. Jean Kunselman's
hobby was music also. She played many
solos for our chapel programs.
Can we ever forget those five courses from
Mr. Becker? Remember Mr. Becker's chagrin
the spring morning he was calling the roll
and Norman Porter answered, "Present", from
the side walk below?
It isn't so long ago that we were singing
"I Never Had a Chance" around the piano in
Becht Hall, skipping classes to go home,
arguing over the advisability of retaining foot-
ball, or correcting papers in the training
school. It was Willis Ford who devised the
facile plan of throwing his test papers up the
stairway and recording "A's" for the ones
that landed on the top steps.
Speaking of training school, Harry Ritchie,
Earl Keefer, and Wayne Fulton had their
difficulties too, especially at the six-weeks'
periods, when thej^ had to forego a few of
those "bridge" games in the men day students'
room.
How we enjoyed our field tripsin geometry!
Robert Geist always had the height of the
flag poles before we could find our pencils,
and Frank Young could recite the underlying
principle, so the remainder of the class enjoyed
a social period.
But our fondest memories of our brief
stay at Clarion are those of our friendships
with our professors, classmates, and training
school pupils.

AN D DEPARTI NG
LEAVE BEHIND US
We arc the Sophomores! It is very strange
that we have failed to acquire that feeling of
superiority we tlreamed alxjut last year. Of
course, we were allowed to initiate the fresh-
men. We hoped to make them feel at ease
on the chapel platform and we are sure that
our efforts were awarded. We were permitted
to enter the Training School and to know the
joys of hektograph ink and to dream of
plotting gratles.
We shall never forget the tribulations of
the Sophomore Dance. It rather disturbed us
to think we had only twenty dollars in the
treasury, and intermission time would be at
fen o'clock with an Orchestra leader's palm
itching for the Sophomores' money. The last
hours were a comfort, for Miss Sims came to
our rescue with an additional sum, which she
had collected for us.
We shall also remenilier Dr. Dow, our
patient adviser, balancing our meager budget
when our Freshmen dance loomed on the
lioiizon. He lightened our hours of worry
with his ready laugh and jokes. He patted
us all on the back and made us know ours
was not the only class that had to engage
orchestras and prepare Miss Seyler for the
fact that we had but five dollars for punch.
Never shall we ff)rget our class meetings.
Who said Bronie Smolak wasn't a good
l)resident last year'.' He let Laura Belle talk,
and consequently we secured money for our
coffers. Freddie Marshall was his successor,
and how energetic he was! Freddie may have
slept through many of his classes, but he
was found wide awake during the Sophomore
meetings.
I'stino Dills always won the prize for
asking cjuestions. He had Mr. C'arej- stumped
in trying to explain a line (lion). He .still
thinks it roars.
During the Freshmen Week, whose idea
was it to have the Freshmen girls go without
makc-u])'.' Tom Plyler wanted to see Lorraine
(Iriftith without her complection, and Lorr-
aine diiln't like the idea at all.
Do you remember when Morgan Jones
attempted to explain the thermostat in chapel"?
Morgan is noted for his sympathetic under-
standing and making people feel at ease,
especially red-heads from Rimersburg. In
fact, he is so interested that in a spell of absent
mindedness he forgot to take Ruthe Prue
to a basketball game even when Dr. Iloban
handed him the tickets.
Remember when we first called Carl Bean
"Doc?" Through two years "Doc" has been
the pride of the class. Studious, conscientious,
and responsive, he has won the respect of
everj'one.
As we recall these years at Clarion, we
say, "How short the time has been!" We have
crowded much into these two years; we have
carried twenty seven hours one semester,
taken frantic notes, turned genius-like and
temperamental for a time, acquired school
teaching poise from some place, read all the
latest books, attended the Lyceum numbers,
have gone out for basketball, plaj^s, and Cook
Forest picnics with dutiful and enthusiastic
fervor. We have even snatched advice frona
anyone who would offer it.
I wonder whether we are ready (o make
our own schedules, go to bed with out bell
signals, be smilingly peaceful in any crisis,
knowing w(> have the l^est solution in our
own hands! I wonder whether wo shall keei)
remembering Dr. Riemer's admonition, "Bud-
get Your Time," and Miss Sims' two hour
conferences!
May we sophomores say to the school,
whose people we love and admire, whose
traditions we respect, "We thank .you for
your time and efforts spent in giving us ideals
and lofty goals, which we shall now pursue
alone and unaided."

FAMILIAR
It is the parting of the ways, for our last
examination is taken, our textbooks are closed
and packed, farewells are said; we must leave.
To escape that dreaded feeling of finality we
become reminiscent. We may forget who
succeeded Trajan or the menu of the Logger-
head Strike, but who can fail to remember
that Wednesday was ice-cream night or that
we voted to elect Landon president the
evening of Dr. Ileiges's mock convention?
IIow well I remember, "The meeting will
please come to order. Now girls, " It
is the annual government meeting when Mi.ss
Sims explains the rules of dormitory life to
the new freshman girls. At chapel the follow-
PEOPLE AND EVENTS
ing day the senate members give long exposi-
tions on the high points of campus life. The
next chapel for freshmen occurs during in-
itiation week when they are cordially but
forcefully invited to the platform and permit-
ted to entertain the upperclassmen extempor-
aneouslj^ There is usuall,y a debate on some
vital, current subject, such as "Resolved: the
bite of a bedbug is more deadly than that of
a flea."
Don't you recall how each fall we enjoyed
our outing, the Cook Forest Picnic, where we
played mushball, climbed trails, and got lost?
Our other annual events were our Thanks-
giving and Christmas dinners planned by Miss
Seyler. They were evenings of merriment,
song, and gay conversation. At Hallowe'en
there were witches, fortunes, and apple
turkeys. We usually disconcerted some class-
mate by singing, "Happy Birthday to You"
and then "Stand up. Stand up."
Mj^ thoughts stray to the
Christmas tide when the col-
lege went caroling. Who
noticed whether our leader
pitched "Silent Night" too
high? Everyone sang his own
tune anyway. An inviting
treat from Dr. and Mrs.
Riemer always concluded our
evening. At 6:30 the next
morning we were awakened
by voices singing "Adeste
Fideles".
I am thinking of ]\Ir. Tip-
pin, a new member of our
facultj^ this year. We com-
pleted a successful basketball
season under his expert coach-
ing. It was Morgan Jones
who gave that impromptu
cheer, "The Sky Rocket", at
the Edinboro game.
Miss Nair is another famil-
iar figure to us in her capacity
as faculty adviser of the college
publications, the "Clarion
Call" and the "Sequelle".
Her pet aversions are hack-
neyed speech, comma splices,
dangling participles, and poor
grammar.
We laugh over the hectic
week when the fire inspectors
visited us. What constitutes
a fire hazard anywaj^? Ask
John Donheiser.
But even these worries didn't prevent our
Saturday night games of monopoly.
And remember the usual stampede at the
mailboxes in Seminary Hall when the com-
ments came out ! The only difficult}^ was that
they always preceded a vacation, which meant
there would be many diplomatic explanations
when we saw the "pater".
It isn't so long ago since we were chasing
down to the theater to see "Mutiny on the
Bounty", "Les Miserables", or "Last Days of
Pompeii"; or that we were sitting in one of
Miss Graham's conferences trying to appear
attentive but awaiting the signal of dismissal.
We pause to think that next year other
students will fill our places, undergo similar
experiences, and make our very mistakes. We
can only hope that we have made a contri-
bution which years cannot obliterate but
which will live in the memories of those who
knew us.

COMMUNITY
SENATE
The Student Community Senate is a government body representative
of the students of the college. The Community Senate consists of twelve
members. Three of these, Mary Helen Klepfer, Fern Slagle, and Edna
Flinchbaugh are representatives of the resident women students. Ruth
McFarland, Genevieve Henry, and Virginia Kaufman are delegates from
the women day students. Wayne Walter, Willard Miller, and William
Byers represent the resident men students. Donald Iliwiller, Joseph
Kenny, and James Kanengeiser are the members chosen from the men day
students.
After the election of the members of the Community Senate, the officers
were elected by a popular vote of the entire student body. The officers
elected by the students were: James Kanengeiser, president; Donald
Hiwiller, vice-president; and Virginia Kaufman, secretary.
From the Senate are selected various committees whose duty it is to
plan and regulate the social affairs of the student body on the Clarion
campus. The chapel committee, headed by Willard Miller, and assisted by
Professor Harry Manson and Miss Helen Sims, plans and directs the pre-
sentation of the lyceum numbers and the assembly programs. The social
committee, headed by Mary Helen Klepfer, arranges the social calendar for
the year. The hospitality committee under the chairmanship of Fern
Slagle and the .social-control committee with William Byers as chairman
also function in the efficient management of the .social life of the Clarion
students.
One of the duties of the Senate is to |)lan and execute the pi'ograni for
the annual Parents' Week-end. During tiie first semester of every year
the Senate cooperates with the administration in assisting the Freshmen
in their orientation to their new surroundings.
It has been the aim of the Student Senate to liuild a wcll-niundcd
program of activities for the entertaiiunent , welfare, and education of
the students at Clarion.

The Women's Student Government Association is an organization
composed of all women students living within the dormitory. The purpose
of this group is to create a sense of unity and fellowship among the women,
to promote and maintain the highest standards of home life in the house,
and to regulate all matters of student conduct within the group. In addition,
the students are benefiting by experience in management and are developing
the ability to participate more successfully in public affairs.
Students who have had a part in the direction and control of school
or college life, in the administration of justice, and in the discouragement
that comes from failure have gained the attributes of a good citizen.
The officers elected this year by the Women's Student Government are:
Pauline Smith, president; Erdene Toy, vice-president; Gretchen Myers,
secretary; Catherine Craig, treasurer.
Within the Student Government group is the executive board known as
the Women's Student Council, whose constituencj' is: student government
officers, one supervisor from each floor, and representative from each of
the freshman, sophomore,] unior and senior classes. The presiding officers
are: Betty Dunne, president; Betty Smith, vice-president; Aimee Linn,
secretary; Catherine Craig, treasurer.
This organization acts as a constructive integrating agency. In the
capacity of "Big Sisters," the Women's Student Council facilitates the
orientation of each year's fi-eshmen. It promotes a home-like atmosphere
in considering the personal problems of each individual, in purchasing
current publicationsfor our lounge, in sending floral tributes, and in extend-
ing condolences in times of illness or death. The Women's Student Council
has completed a successful year under the able supervision of our dean of
women, Miss Helen Sims.

WOMEN DAY STUDENTS
A large comfortable room in Seminary Hall
is reserved for the exclusive use of the women
day students. This association is comjiosed of
local and commuting students.
Here, in this convenient, well furnishctl
room the women met at all hours of the day,
from the morning bell until evening, between
classes, during study periods, and at the noon
hour. At these times close and intimate
contacts were enjoyed, as the news of the day
was discu.ssed. Subjects for discussion, ac-
cording to participants, ranged wideh' from
such topics as Dr. Riemer's questions on
current affairs in chapel. Dr. Heiges's refer-
ence work in the library, and the various
advantages and disadvantages of the teaching
profession, to Clark Gable's latest success in
pictures. The occupants used the room for
studying, lunching, and social activities, all
of which proved sources of enjoyment, especi-
allv when "LET'S GO COLLEGIATE" was
rehearsed and the latest song hits vocalized
during lunch.
The main social activities of the year were
in the form of birthday and farewell parties
for the various students, frequently attended
by members of the faculty.
Some of the greatest values receivcil from
this association were : first of all, lasting
friendships, cultivated by the daily close
social contacts with fellow students, which
resulted in exchange of ideas and confidences;
and second, the happy memories of school
daj's, which will always remain in the heart
of every day student.
The women day students were represented
in the 1935-36 community senate liy the
following: Genevieve Henry, delegate from
town, Ruth McFarland, delegate from com-
muting .students, and Virginia Kaufman,
delegate at large. The room is under the
supervision of tliis committee, responsible to
Miss Helen Sims.
MEN DAY
STUDENTS
Tlie Men Day Students met in the spring
of 1935 and elected representatives to the
Community Senate for the ensuing year.
The rules and regulations were drawn up
at the beginning of this year for the super-
vision of the daj^ students' room, which is
located on the first floor of Founders Hall.
The committee appointed to supervi.sc the
room consists of Fred Marshall and Albert
Walley. The faculty advi.ser. Dr. Dow, helped
the committee in this work.
In college this year sixty percent of the
men .students are commuters and town
students. The value of such a room as that
provided for the men day students is little
realized but greatly appreciated. Although
the men do not have the valuable contacts of
dormitorj' life, they learn to know other
students outside of classes bj' means of the
day students" room, which is both a meeting
place and a place of recreation.
Men Day Student Patter:
To date exactly twenty packs of playing
cards have had the spots worn off during this
very busy year.
The day room's briilge team is always
willing to challenge any other organization on
the campus.
Some of the towm students found it very
disconcerting when in the middle of a card
game they had to go home for luncheon.
Next year many of them will, no doubt, Ining
their luncheon with them.
The recent fire drills have been spoiling
many an afternoon nap for Albert ^^'all('v.
Throughout the year, the men enjoyeil the
daily news placed in the room for their
exclusive use. Speaking of newspapers, mo.st
of the occupants will always remember
Norman Porter, who, armed with scissors and
pencil, habitually .sought the daily cross-word
puzzles in the "Pittsburgh Post Gazette"-

Ten Greek organizations now play a prom-
inent part in college life at Clarion : Pi Gamma
Mu, Phi Sigma Pi, Alpha Psi Omega, Alpha
Gamma Phi, Alpha Phi Alpha, Delta Sigma
Epsilon, Lambda Chi Delta, Sigma Delta Phi,
Theta Alpha Lambda, and Sigma Sigma
Sigma.
Pi Gamma Mu, national social science
honorary society, was founded at South-
western College, Winfield, Kansas, in 1924
by Doctor Leroy Allen. The Pennsylvania
Iota Chapter was founded in Clarion in 1930.
Phi Sigma Pi, national honorary education-
al society, was founded in Warrensburg,
Missouri, in 1916. The Lambda Chapter was
established on the campus in 1930.
Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary Dra-
matic fraternity, was founded in Fairmont,
West Virginia; the Alpha Upsilon cast was
installed this year.
Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Gamma Phi,
local social fraternities, trace their origin to
1930.
Delta Sigma Epsilon, national educational
sorority, was founded in 19 14 at Miami
LTniversity. The Alpha Zeta chapter was
established in 1932.
Sigma Sigma Sigma, national educational
sorority, was founded in Farmville, Virginia,
in 1889. The Alpha Pi Chapter was installed
in 1934.
Sigma Delta Phi, local social sorority,
dates its beginning to 1930. Lambda Chi
Delta and Theta Alpha Lambda, social
sororities, were both founded in 1931.
Members of these groups, uniting in
common interests, have wide opportunities to
further enrich and enjoy social and intel-
lectual contacts. Activities to further these
aims are many and varied. Research, reports,
lectures, teas, informal get-to-gethers, dances,
and dinners are just a few of the things enjoyed.
As one brother to another — as one sister to
another, the members have a deep feeling of
loj^alty and affection for one another which
are significant aspects of these organizations.
The formation of friendships of enduring qual-
ity, lasting beyond college years are perhaps
the greatest blessings these societies can offer
to the student.
These organizations afford the individual
excellent opportunity to learn the value of
ever-ready cooperation and mutual under-
standing. As a new member adjusts himself
to the group where he fits best, he is made to
feel a sense of obligations to his associates.
However, it is not the aim of the Greeks
to have the members "group conscious."
Tolerance and respect on the part of one
organization for another are paramount ob-
jectives of the Greeks. Evidences of an inter-
fraternity of friendship and goodwill are often
revealed on the campus. Often one group
entertains another at a social hour.
Alumni contacts are made through pub-
lications, letters, dances, parties, camping
trips in the summer, etc. In this way old
members are kept informed of current happen-
ings and are made to feel that they are 3ret
an integral part of the Greeks.

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL . . . .
ruder the careful and capable direction of IVIis.s Margaret Boytl, the
Panhellenic Council proves to l>e an important organization at Clarion
.State Teachers College. The organization consists of fifteen members, an
active, a silent, and an alumna representative from each of the five sororities
on the campus. These sororities are Delta Sigma Epsilon, Lambda Chi
Delta, Sigma Delta Phi, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and Theta Alpha Lambda.
The object of the Panhellenii' association is four-fold: to detciiiiiiie the
date of bid day, to pass and enforce rush rules, to regulate other matters
pertaining to local Panhellenic life, and to encourage all chapters to take
an active part in all school activities that are for the common good.
The Panhellenic Council has been affiliated with the Association of
Lducation Sororities since last May, when Delta Pi Epsilon became Sigma
Sigma Sigma, the second national sororitj' to be established on the campus.
This year the Council was privileged to have as a guest Mrs. Rotjert S.
Hill, national president of the Delta Sigma Epsilon Sorority. Mrs. Hill
inspected the Council and found it in good condition. She was very much
interested in our grading system and thought the idea of comments unique.
The holding of office in the Panhellenic is controlled l)y a rotation
system. The officers for the first semester were: president, (Iretchcn Myers;
Delta Sigma Epsilon; secretary, Janet Reed, Sigma Delta Phi; for the
second semester, president, Betty Dunne, Sigma Sigma Sigma; secretary,
Lettisia Ammerman, Lambda Chi Delta.
The first event on the Council's social calendar was the Panhellenic
tea, which was held in SeptcMuber. To this tea were invited all (he women
students on the campus. The [)uriiose of this tea was to acquaint the old
students with the new.
Our most important event of the year was the annual Panhellenic
dance, which was held on Saturday evening, Ai)ril iS. The Japanese motif
was carried out in all of the decorations.
The last social event of the year was the Panhellenic dinner, held on
Friday evening, May M. To l)oth the dinner and the dance were invited
sorority women living in the community who are affiliated with either the
National Panhellenic Congress or the Association of ICtlucation Sororities.

DELTA SIGMA EPSILON
Delta Sigma Epsilon, national educational sorority, was founded
September 23, 1914 at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. Alpha Zeta
Chapter was founded at Clarion by the local sorority, Zeta Kappa Nu,
May 15, 1932. Violet Pressler was the first president. During May, 1934,
four representatives were sent to Fairmont State Teachers College to assist
in the installation of Alpha Zeta Chapter.
Ten active members returned to begin this year. They were: Marj'
Helen Klepfer, president; Eileen Luce, vice-president; Dorothy Kaufman,
recording secretary; Virginia Kaufman, corresponding secretary; Gretchen
Myers, treasurer; Louise Furlong, chaplain; Dora Boario, sergeant; Lucille
Linn, historian; Dorothy Haley; and Miss Barton, adviser. During the
last week of September another member, Geraldine Thorne, was added to
the group. Following her initiation a picnic was held in Rankin's Grove
to celebrate the occasion.
Rush week was featured by a ghost party in Rankin's Grove and a
dinner and theater party in Oil City. A week later these rushees were
pledged: Isabel Bonnett, Fern Brooks, Dorothy Fischer, Alice Jolley,
Martha Middleton, Maxine Moore, Mary Belle Calhoun, Frances Wimer,
Muriel Wolstencroft, and Frances Wriglesworth. Maiy Belle Rodgers
became a pledge later in the year. At their first meeting the pledges elected
their own officers: Martha Middleton, president; Muriel Wolstencroft,
secretary; Dorothy Fischer, treasurer; Frances Wimer, representative to the
active chapter. After Martha Middleton's withdrawal from school Isabel
Bonnett was elected president.
Real work was interspersed with social events. During October, Mrs.
W. B. Rankin, Mrs. Merritt Davis, and Miss Bertha Leifeste, the patron-
esses, entertained at Trueman's Camp near Clear Creek. At Christmas
time, a program was prepared by the pledges for Miss Leifeste's second
grade pupils, and popcorn balls were presented to them. A Yule-tide Party
at the home of Virginia Kaufman was attended by several alumnae. Miss
Leifeste entertained with an old-fashioned "taffy-pull" at the home of
Mrs. Davis during February. Mrs. Robert S. Hill, National President of
Delta Sigma Epsilon sorority, inspected the local Panhellenic and Alpha
Zeta Chapter, February 2 and 3.
The active members and many of the alumnae are planning to attend
the Conclave which is to be held in St. Louis during August. At this time
delegates from all the chapters of Delta Sigma Epsilon will convene for
several days.

LAMBDA CHI DELTA
SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA . . . .
The Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority is a
National Educational Sorority. It was found-
ed April 20, 1898, in Farmville, Virginia, and
holds the honor of being the first National
Educational Sorority organized. It was there-
fore, the first sorority to enter the Association
of Educational Sororities.
Sigma Sigma Sigma now has thirty-three
active chapters located in teachers colleges of
A-rank throughout the United States and
thirty alumnae chapters.
The Alpha Pi chapter of this organization
was installed at Clarion on April 22, 1935, by
three members of the Lambda chapter at
Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Mabel West
Leonard, National Organizer. The group has
originally been the Delta Pi Epsilon sorority
established in December 1931 with Miss Mary
Williamson as sponsor.
The entire list of chapters was divided into
small groups, and during the fall months
these small bands went pioneering for Tri-
Sigma at regional meets held in various cities.
The Pennsylvania meet, consisting of mem-
bers from the chapters of Buffalo State
Teachers College, Buffalo, New York; State
Teachers Cnll(\(>;o, Indiana; Drexel Institute,
Philda(lcl|iliia ; State Teachers College, Clarion
State Ti'acliiTs ( 'ollege, LockHaven; and the
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Buffalo Alumnae
Chapters held their miniature convention the
week-end of October 19 at the William Penn
Hotel in Pittsljurgh. This meet was presided
over by the national president, Miss Mabel
Lee Walton. It was attended by Miss
Mildred Gamble, Erdene Toy, Betty Dunne
and Aida Hanst.
The officers are: president, Erdene Toy;
vice-president, Aida Hanst; recording secre-
tary, Jane Brogan; treasurer, Betty Dunne;
faculty adviser, Miss Mildred Gamble. Active
members are: Jane Brogan, Betty Dunne,
Aida Hanst, Edna Kriner, Erdene Toy.
Pledges are: Mildred Dietz, Ruth Mae Linn,
Florence McCall, Lucille Rockey, and Priscil-
la Siar.
LAMBDA CHI DELTA . . . .
The Lambda Chi Delta Sorority is one of
the most active organizations on the campus.
It was founded in 1931 at Clarion as a local
social sorority. Its active membership con-
sists of thirteen girls and their faculty adviser.
Miss Helen Armstrong.
The sorority maintains a loan fund which
increases from year to year. This loan has
been made available to any worthy student of
the college.
For the past three years an alumnae paper,
published monthly by the active members,
has been an interesting project and a means
of keeping the alumnae well informed on
sorority affairs and well acquainted with the
active sisters.
Each year since 1931 the sorority has
spent a two weeks' vacation during the month
of August on Lake Erie. It is an event to
which every member looks forward with
enthusiasm.
Social affairs during the year have included
teas, dinners, dances, slumber parties, camp-
ing trips, picnics, swimming parties, and an
informal get-together once a month. An
informal dinner with an Indian theme was
given at the Log Cabin Inn at Cook Forest
in honor of the rushees in the early fall. Late
in November the rushees were responsible for
a ship party at the Coffee Shop in honor of
the patronesses. A buffet supper and Christ-
mas party was a social event during December.
"Cookie Day" was observed severab times
during the year when home made cookies of
all kinds were sold from door to door. Yarn
dolls were made and sold on the campus as
another interesting and profitable project.
The following women are patronesses of
the sorority: Mrs. N. E. Heeter, Mrs. B. M.
Davis, Mrs. Henry Amsler, Mrs. W. J. Davis,
Mrs. D. D. Peirce, Mrs. H. S. Manson, Mrs.
Samuel Wilson and Miss Gladys Rich.
The officers of the sorority are: president,
Catherine Wilhelm; vice-president, Sara Fow-
kes; secretary, Mary Joye Jones; treasurer,
Lois Terwilliger; active Panhellenic represent-
ative, Lettisia Ammerman; silent Panhellenic
representative, Mary Joye Jones; active mem-
bers: Dorothy Jackson, Bess Swarm, Marian
Renn, Miriam Stewart, Anna Mary Fox,
Sally Frazer, Lorraine Griffith and Ardelle
Whitman.
Miss Helen Armstrong, President Riemer's
secretary, has been an efficient adviser of the
sorority for the last three years.

SI6MA DELTA PHI
The Sigma Delta Phi Sorority, the oldest
sororitj- on the Clarion Campus, was founded
in 1930 with Mrs. Harry Bland acting as
first sponsor.
Miss Bertha Nair, English instructor, is
the sponsor at the present time, and the
officers of the sorority for the first semester
were: Helen Walter, president; Dorothy
Davis, vice-president; Alice Welch, treasurer;
and Ruth Lidstone, secretary. For the second
semester the officers are: Janet Reed, presi-
dent; Helen Walter, vice-president; Molly
Shew, secretary, and Laura Belle Hess,
treasurer. Panhellenic representatives arc:
Janet Reed, Ruth Lidstone. and Ruth Kuhn,
alumna representative. The present patron-
esses of the Sigma Delta Phi Sorority are:
Mrs. Harry Wilson, Mrs. Lloyd Weaver, Mrs.
( '. L. Dow, all of Clarion, and Mrs. Anahel
Ralston, who resides at Butler, Pennsylvania.
During the year the Sigma Delta Phi
ffiuiiilccl a sorority paper called the News
Letter. This paper was sent to alumnae
nicnihers periodically throughout the year;
it contained reports of sorority activities
alunuiae news, and personals cDncerning the
actives and pledges.
Blue and Gold are the colors of the Sigma
Delta Phi, and the yellow rose is the sorority
flower.
With the help of .Miss Rich, ALisic In-
structor of Clarion State Teachers College,
the girls wrote a sorority song to the music of
"One Night of Love". It has l)een voted as
the official song.
The girls of the sorority enjoy outdoor
life. This is proved by the fact that they
were often found cooking an early breakfast in
Wilson's Woods. They spent one week end of
early spiing at the Moores' Camp, wher(> they
learned to be 'rough and ready' for most
anything, and they really appreciated the
thrill of sleeping four in a l)ed.
The summer of '35 found a cheerful urmip
of Sigma Delta Phis enjoying the full nuxm
at a very picturesque little cottage at ( lien
Rhue on Lake Erie. They spent the second
week of August there and really learned
what magic a full moon could work.
Recently the Sigma Delta Phis lost two of
their si.sters, Martha Byers of New Wilming-
ton and Elizabeth Hook of Knox, who left
school at the beginning of the .second semester.
The sorority has reports from its alumnae
members, Dorothy Wilson has a position at
Luthersburg; Ruth Kuhn is teaching in
Clarion; and Gladys Moore is teaching in a
rural school near Mars. Betty Mallon is
doing graduate work at the University of
Pennsylvania, and Betty Baldwin is studying
at the University of New Mexico. Martha
Barnes has a position at Cheery Tree.
The patronesses of the sorority have shown
their interest in the social life of the girls
by entertaining them several times during the
year.

THETA ALPHA LAMBDA
Shortly after the Thetas returned in the
fall of '35, they were entertained by their
adviser and patronesses at a picnic supper in
Rankins' Woods. They welcomed the oppor-
tunity to discuss the events of sorority camp-
ing of the previous summer and to begin
making plans for the new year's activities.
The new year would mark the fifth j^ear of
the existence of Theta Alpha Lambda. The
officers were: Pauline Smith, president;
Genevieve Henrj^, vice-president; Fern Slagle,
secretary; Millie Ensle, treasurer; and Ruthe
Prue, Panhellenic member.
During Rush Week the Thetas planned to
entertain their rushees at two events, the
first, a formal dinner, and the second, a pirate
escapade. The Bostonia Country Club,
situated near New Bethlehem on the top of
a hill overlooking the surrounding country,
afforded an ideal place for the dinner, which
was served in the cheery dining room.
Later in the week, a map lead the rushees
by devious routes to a pirate's ship (truck)
which transported them to a pirate's lair in
the woods. The amateur pirates joined in
the pastimes of the crew and were revived
from their terrifjang experiences by plentiful
amounts of gin (ger ale) and other delicacies
favored by the pirates.
As a result of Rush Week, the Thetas
initiated ten girls into their group. They
were Hazel Bennett, Ruth Harriger, Mary
Hawk, Henrietta Hunter, Betty Kanengeiser,
Marj' Olive Longwell, Helen McFarland,
Ruth McFarland, Avenelle Menteer, and
Geraldine Slagle.
In addition to their regular business and
social meetings, Theta Alpha Lambda planned
a number of helpful programs. The new
members were given a chance to enter into
the activities of the sorority bj' planning a
Thanksgiving part3^ The Thetas also cele-
brated Christmas by their annual Christmas
party at which they exchanged gifts.
The officers who were installed at the
beginning of the second semester were:
president, Fern Slagle; vice-president, Helen
McFarland; secretary, Ruth Harriger; treas-
urer, Hazel Bennett; and Betty Kanengeiser,
silent Panhellenic member.
The Thetas enjoj^ed a great manj^ social
activities during the new semester. The group
was entertained at a bridge party and at a
Valentine tea. The}- planned a tobogganing
party, a St. Patrick's Day part}-, and many
other celebrations.
As the Thetas look forward to a new j'ear,
they hope that the new year will mean a
continuance of the friendship and enjo3'able
activities of the past one.

ALPHA PHI ALPHA
With a view to promoting the men's social
activities on the Chirion Campus, the Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternitj' has taken an active
part in college affairs. Each year, a week's
camping near Lake Erie marks the opening
of a new round of activities. The trip for
the year 1935-1936 filled the week of August
25, and was followed on September 16, by
the group's first school party. The latter
event took place on the Burns' farm with non-
fraternity men as the guests of the Alpha Phi
Alphas. On September 23, Mr. Harrj- Man-
son and Mr. Charles Becker entertained the
fraternity at a formal party in their homes.
During the next two weeks, classrooms, halls,
and campus presented numerous scenes of
pledging as the Alpha Phis selected new
spirit. After vacation, the annual inter-
fraternity party was held. For this event,
the Alpha Phi Alphas, acting as hosts to the
Alpha Gamma Phi Fraternity, chose the
Harvey Gymnasium as the setting for an even-
ing of good fellowship.
Throughout the second half of the school
year many unusual social events occurred.
On February 25, the Alpha Phis entertained
their fathers at a father-and-son banquet.

memljors from the iHin-fraternity men. Seven
prospective members were chosen, and on
October 19 and 20 informal initiation took
place at Camp ("offman with a formal initia-
tion being held in the chapel on November 6.
The pletlges were: Perry Lewis, Donald Jones,
Arvaughn Davis, James Call, Albert Koelseh,
John Hess, and Tom Plyler.
With the business of selecting and initiat-
ing new members concluded, social affairs
come to the front. In late November Dr.
Ralph Heiges was host to the fraternity at an
unusual party in his home, where a basement
gymnasium furnished the brothers with an
opportunity to display their physical powers.
The approach of the holidays brought the
fraternity yearly Christmas party with gifts
and gayety marking the appropriate^ holiday
After the luuiierous courses and speeches, the
entire company attended the Clarion-Grove
City basket ball game in the Harvey Gymnas-
ium. One of the most successful "formals"
ever occurring at the college, was held March
14, by the two fraternities of the college.
Late in the spring Dr. Clarence Dow entertain-
ed the Alpha Phi Alphas at an informal party
in his home, and this party was followed by
the year's final "get-together," at Camp
Coffman.
The officers of the fraternity are: Willard
Miller, president; vice-president, Donald Hi-
willer; secretary, Wilbur Stewart; treasurer,
Norman Porter; and corresponding secretary,
Gerald Keefer. Dr. Dow, I^r. Heiges, Mr.
Manson, and Mr. lieckcr are the faculty
sponsors.
. ALPHA GAMMA PHI
With the opening of the .school year 1935-
1936, the Alpha Gamma Phi Fraternity
plunged into the colorful calendar of fraternity
affairs. Joseph Kenny was chosen as president
for the first semester, and directed the Gamma
Phis with marked ability. Equally fortunate
was the group in having William Byers as
vice-president, Edward Jacobs as secretary,
Bronie Smolak as treasurer, and Byron Gil-
fillan as the fraternity historian. Selection of

The fraternity's affairs for the first se-
mester were greatly enjoyed. Many former
members no longer at the college returned to
take part in the school's Home-coming Day
program and to renew old friendships. On
November 6, the fraternity staged a jolly
party in the Harvey Gymnasium, and on
December 18, a party given by Dr. Hoban in
honor of the brothers marked a high spot in
their social life.
After the holidays, the Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity entertained the Gamma Phis at a
party in the gymnasium. The evening follow-
ing this party, the Alpha Gamma Phis were
guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hetrick at the latter's
home on Wood Street.
on the campus presented a major problem for
the organization. In September an ice-
breaker outing with the freshmen as honored
guests greatly facilitated acquaintance with
the newcomers and led to the selection of
fourteen new members. The fraternity was
particularly fortunate in securing such a highly
desirable member as Dr. Charles F. Hoban,
psychology instructor at the college. The
other new members selected were: — Edward
Camiolo, Wayne Fulton, Harry Wozniak,
Ustino Dills, Virgil Beary, Charles Reed,
Marcus Priester, Richard Sloan, Thomas
Hosack, Paul Griffin, Jack Smith, Theodore
MacDonald, and Earl Hovis.
Informal initiation for the pledges was an
outstanding business of the week of December
5. During that time the pledges displayed
remarkable endurance, and on Wednesday,
The second half of the term began under
the direction of a new executive group. These
officers were George Hess, president; Carl
Bean, vice-president; WUliam Byers, secre-
tary; Byron Gilfillan, treasurer; and Edward
Jacobs, historian. Again the calendar was
filled with social interests. As the weather
grew balmier, outdoor meetings became the
rule. The climax of the entire year's social
activities was the inter-fraternity "formal"
held in Becht Hall on Saturday evening,
March 14. Full dress enhanced the brothers'
manly charms to the utmost. The final
social event, the Alpha Gamma Phi banquet,
ended the fraternity's active year.
Throughout the term the fraternity was
particularly fortunate in having as sponsors
Dr. D. D. Peirce, Dr. Charles F. Hoban, and
Mr. Gilbert Hoyt.

HONORARIES....
PI GAMMA MU.
Pi Gamma AIii is a national honorary
fraternity in social science organized for the
purpose of inculcating ideas of scholarship,
scientific attitude and method, and social
service in the studj' of all social problems.
The first national chapter originated in the
spring of 1924, when Lcroy Allen, who was
then professor of economics at Southwestern
University, together with some of his most
promising students, set about to found a new
national honorary fraternity. Pi Gamma Mu
now numbers one hundred forty-three chap-
ters in various universities and colleges in this
countrj' and abroad. It is recognized as
probably the foremo.st national honorary
society in the field of social science.
The motto of Pi Gamma Mu is, "Ye shall
know the truth and it shall make j'ou free."
The fraternitj- is not an ordinary honor
society. It has no .secret features of any sort.
It has the one serious purpose of advancing
1I1C cause of the scientific study of social
pn)l)l(>ms.
The Pennsylvania Iota cluiijtcr of Pi
Ganuna Mu National Honorary Society was
organized at Clarion State Teachers College
on May 8, 1930. Pi Gamma Mu recjuires
high scholastic attainment for eligibility to
its order, and although this recjuirement has
necessarily limited the membership, it has
kept up the standards of the fraternity.
Pi Gamma Mu holds monthly meetings
for the discussion of national and local social
jiroblems. In the past it has sponsored various
surveys in Clarion County and has lieen in-
strumental in bringing noted speakers to
address the student body.
During the current year of 1935- 1936, the
local chapter has reorganized its course of
stutly. The fraternity sought and obtained
membership in the International Relations
Club. The programs of the fraternity were
modeled after the suggestions made by that
club and were based upon the literature
distributed by the club.
All literature .sent to Pi Gamma Mu has
been placed upon a special shelf arranged in
the library for that purpose. At present this
library contains about two dozen worth-while
volumes on current social affairs. Although
this material is not a part of the regular
liljrary, it is open to the use of all students.
Any person who is elected to Pi Gamma
Mu obtains a life membership in the organi-
zation. The members of the fraternity during
the present year are as follows: Miss Helen
Barton, Ruth Chitester, Dr. Ralph Heiges,
Dr. C. F. Hoban, Jean Kunselman, Miss Helen
Mohney, Dr. G. C. L. Riemer, Miss Helen
Sims, and Joseph Kenny.
The officers of the present j-ear are:
president, Joseph Kenny; vice-president, Ruth
Chitester; secretary-treasurer, Jean Kunsel-
man; faculty adviser, Mi.ss Helen Sims.
PHI SIGMA PI
First row: Millrr. Kcninj. (in.sl.
Second row: Mr. Manaon, Dr. Dow, Dr
Riemer, Dr. Peirce.
Phi Sigma Pi is a national honorary
fraternitj^ in education established for the
purpose of discussing educational problems
and initiating educational surveys. Admis-
sion to the fraternity is restricted to the men
students having a high standard of scholastic
attainment.
The fraternity plans to carry out one large
survey each year. At one of the first meetings
this year it was decided to make a survey of
the equipment in chemistry, physics, and
biology departments of the surrounding high
schools. The method used was as follows:
A list was made of all the scientific equip-
ment which the state recommended to all
schools. These lists were then mimeo-
graphed. The first school to be surveyed was
Clarion High School. After spending several
days trying to check the equipment, it was
found that much of the equipment could not
be classified and that much of the time spent
was only wasted. This one survey has been
dropped because of the time involved, and the
amount of inefficiency involved. For the
second semester's work it was decided to
discuss in the meetings new educational plans
and other advancements in the educational
field.
At the beginning of the year the Phi
Sigma Pi had ten active members. They
were Joseph Kenny, Wayne Kenemuth,
Robert Geist, George Hess, Williard Miller,
Professor Manson, Doctor Dow, Doctor
Peirce, Professor Becker, and Dr. Riemer.
The officers of the organization were : president
Joseph Kenny; vice-president, Robert Geist;
secretary, Williard Miller; treasurer, Wayne
Kenemuth, and historian, George Hess. Dur-
ing the year the following pledges were
initiated into the fraternity: Albert Wallej'-,
Morgan Jones, Carl Bean, Thomas Plyler,
and Byron Gilfillan. Professor Becker is the
faculty sponsor.
The Phi Sigma Pi fraternity has been estab-
lished in eighteen other colleges throughout
the United States. At seven of our sister state
teachers colleges, chapters of the Phi Sigma Pi
have been established.
The fraternity issues a magazine, "The
Lampadian", twice a year. In this magazine
are educational items, news from former
members, pictures from chapters and chapter
news. The Lambda chapter of Clarion has
had the record of contributing news to every
issue of the magazine since it was established
in 1930.
The fraternity has only one social event
during the year. This is held in the form of
a banquet on Founders' Day. It is the
custom at this time to bring an honorary
member, outstanding in the educational field,
into the chapter.
Through the study of education the mem-
bers hope to raise standards among teachers
and to develop richer personalities for their
profession.

WITH COMMON INTERESTS
The activities of the non-athletic extra-
curricular groups have had the continuous
attention of the college students throughout
the year. Organized with the aim of provid-
ing a medium for expression of interests, the
clubs have endeavored to reach every student
on the campus. Their achievement toward
this end has been high. Through these
organizations, the activities of Clarion's col-
lege life have been greatly broadened, and a
more democratic participation in campus plans
has been gained. The projects, trips, outings,
and discussions that have been prompted by
common interests have contributed some-
thing of value to each student's life. To work
together, to plan together, to share in the
burden of mistakes, and join in the exhilira-
tion of progress — these phases and corollaries
of club life have had their origin in the
individual's own interest in the particular
activity. Thus the bonds uniting the mem-
bers of each organization are of the student's
own making.
Granted these opportunities for crystal-
lizing his interests in group activities, inspired
by the understanding that only those having
a similar interest can give. Clarion students
have found that such club life has a meaning
far beyond the ordinary conception. Although
the Art, the Hostess, the Y's, and the other
clubs vary in their interests, these friendly
groups are such an integral part of the college
that the common ground of school attachment
is their primary foundation. Goodwill and
cooperation springing from this loj'altj^ to
the school are the lubricants of club activities.
Hence, students in these organizations carry
out their plans with a minimum of friction
both within the individual clubs and among
the entire club groups.
The encouragement that such relation-
ships have given to the organizations is evidenc-
ed in the unhindered work of the clubs and
in the reciprocal nature of their benefits. In
essence, the friendly groups have become a
medium through which there is an inter-
change of advantage between the student and
the college. This interchange is easily dis-
cernable in the activities of the departmental
clubs, where Art and Geography Club con-
crete projects are of mutual benefit to the
school and the club members. But the special
interest, the leadership, and the special ability
groups make equally important two-wa^' con-
tributions. The Hostess Club's enjoyable
teas, the welcoming of new students to the
Y's, the X.A.C.E.'s alert, informal discussions,
and the well-directed physical activities of the
Outdoor and Hiking Clubs are of major value
to both the college and the students.
Campus life, without the acti-vities of the
extra-curricular groups, would lose much of
the charm and attraction it holds for Clarion
students. The friendships, which have their
origin in these clubs, alone would be ample
indication of the benefits accruing from the
groups. In addition there are the unnumbered
opportunities for social activities and leader-
ship development. Life at Clarion would
appear narrow and hampered without our
friendly groups with their common interests.

HOSTESS CLUB ....
"How should we decorate our tal)le?" "Where does this silver belong?"
"How should we set this table?" Such questions were heard frequently
as fourteen girls busily prepared to serve tea. They had decided that serv-
ing tea was one of the many things which a hostess must do well. After
becoming acquainted with the proper tea service, they began putting their
knowledge to use. Later in the year they learned how to set and decorate
a table for any kind of meal.
Because the members were greatly interested in what to wear and when
to wear it (as is every college girl), their first meeting was tlevoted to a
discussion of "Clothes and How to Wear Them." Since that time they
have taken the motto, "Quality not ([uantity," in regard to wardrobe
planning.
The hostesses desired to know the qualities of a charming person;
therefore they included in their calendar of events a discussion of "The
Cultivation of Charm." To further inform themselves of the niceties of
social life, they considered the problem of "How to be Natural and at Ease."
The officers of the club consisted of: Rose Raught, president; Fern
Brooks, vice-president; Miriam Stewart, secretary-treasurer. In addition
of these regular officers, a program chairman was elected. Florence McCall,
who held this office, planned a definite program for discussion at each meet-
ing. Girls particularly interested in a subject led the discussion. Witli
the arrival of the second semester, five new members were added lo Ihc
club: Eleanore Fulton, Ruth Lidstone, Avanelle Menteer, Mollie Shew,
and Frances Wimer. At this time new officers were elected: Hazel Bennett,
president; Geraldine Slagle, vice-president; Miriam Stewart, secretar.y-
treasurer.
In carrying out discussions, concrete illustrations and demonstrations
have been used. The members of the club have believed such practical
applications are a part of a college girl's education. Mi.ss Helen 1). Sims,
adviser, has helpfully instructed and supervised the work of Ihc hostesses.

N. A. C. E. CLUB . . . .
"The Association foe Childhood Education of the State Teachers
College of Clarion" is a branch of the "National Association for Childhood
Education." It is affiliated with the "General Federation of Woman's
Clubs", "National Association for Nursery Education", National Congress
of Parents, and the World Federation of Education Associations.
The local branch was organized in November 1934 as a result of the
efforts of Miss Bertha Leifeste. At that time the constitution and by-laws
were drawn up which contained the following purpose:
"The purpose of this organization shall be to gather and disseminate
knowledge of the movement for the education of j^oung children; to bring
into active cooperation all childhood education interests, including parent
education; to promote the progressive type of education in nursery school,
kindergarten and primary grades; and to raise the standard of the pro-
fessional training for teachers and leaders in the field."
During the years 1935 and 1936, monthly meetings were conducted in
Thaddeus Stevens Training School. A program for the year was outlined,
the general theme of which was "The Contribution of the School to the
Development of the Child." Various speakers, panel discussions, report
readings, and experiments revealed the contributions of the nursery school
and kindergarten to the development of the child, the behavior of the child
in the primary school, the effect of art, music, literature and poetry on the
child's development, the reports to parents as a means of closer integration
of school and home, and the improvements which are anticipated in the
primary schools of tomorrow.
The Clarion branch boasts of thirty-four active and four honorary
members. The officers are: president, Ruth Phillips; vice-president,
Mary Helen Klepfer; secretary, Catherine Wilhelm; treasurer, Eileen Luce;
council representative, Dorothy Haley. In addition to the educational
phase of the organization there are also social meetings, such as story-
telling hours, picnics, parties, and dinners.
The club magazine, "Childhood Education," aids in keeping members
informed of current educational problems and investigations.

GEOGRAPHY
CLUB....
The present Gcograjjhy ("lul) was organized at, the beginning of the
1035-36 school year, and though its iiosition was that of the "infant" among
the extra-curricular groups, it rapidly gained the status of a veteran organ-
ization. As the major objective, the club's fifteen charter members (students
specializing in geography) determined upon the study of the surrounding
country, its geographical significance, and some of the local economic
responses to this environment. Membership was limited to those students
having at least six semester hours in geography, and the maximum number
of members was placed at eighteen. The officers chosen were Margaret
Dale, ])resident; Willard Miller, vice-president; Louise Furlong, secretary;
Morgan Jones, treasurer. Toward the end of the first semester, Gerald
Keefer was elected to fill the vacated treasurer's office.
In studying the economic responses to the geography of this section,
numerous facts have been divulged that are of infinite importance to
geography students. One of the most outstanding trips was taken in early
fall to the Goodyear Rubber Factory in Akron, Ohio. There, the intricate,
mysterious processes of tire manufacturers, the practices and policies of the
Goodyear "University", and the vast Goodyear Zeppelin hangar were
avidly investigated by the club members. Unlimited subjects for discussion
and lesson material were gained through the day's excursion.
A trip through the Kissinger coal mine near Rimersburg, Pennsylvania,
was fully as informative as the Akron trip. Although a coating of coal
and dust and numerous sore muscles somewhat blurred the immediate
results, the recognized benefits were without measure.
Near the end of the first semester. Dr. Clarence Dow, club sponsor,
entertained its members at his home with games and moving pictures.
Second semester plans included redecoration of the geography classroom
for club use, a trip to view Pennsylvania's flood areas, and a firsthand
observation of the Pittsburgh Weather Bureau.
The club is looking forward to a more active schedule throughout
tlu! coming year, and a number of projects and trips are being jilanned.

ART
CLUB
The music starts and, as the victrola in the social room of Becht Hall
is heard, men and women of the Art Club dance cheerfully around and
around. On their heads are little hats of glittering paper, cocked at one
angle or another — Lucky they have rubber bands under their chins! "Blow-
outs" issue forth with sudden abruptness from rosy lips between the puffed
cheeks of the merry revelers while others daintily sip glasses of punch from
Miss Seyler's brimming bowl and nibble at exquisite cakes, which she alone
knows how to create. "But, is this the Art Club?" you may ask. Most
assuredly, kind friend, and this is their final meeting — this Beaux Arts Ball!
No doubt you will want to know about their other less frivolous, but
none the less happy, regular meetings. During the first get-together, officers
are usually chosen who help to plan club activities and guide their direction.
Art Club members are always priviliged to choose their own creative
work, but examples of past work and new processes and types of work are
always welcome. Last term the leather belts made by men and women
alike were very popular. This term, purses designed and worked in needle-
point seem to appeal to many, while others made crepe paper hats of various
colors — the modern version of the Easter bonnet. Art Club members try
to be of service to other departments in the college, too, when time permits
and have made foot-ball posters, dance decorations, and helped with scenery
for the Revue. On some occasions they visit homes in the town, where
interesting objects from abroad, beautiful pictures, and works of art are
to be seen.
The objectives of the Art Club are : to make something useful and beau-
tiful, to develop one's personality and consideration for others, and to have
just as good a time as the art dues plus the facilities of the college will
permit.

OUTDOOR CLUB
"If there's no further business, let's go
tobogganing ", and off go the twenty
members of the Outdoor Club in ski-pants,
high tops, and tassel caps. The whole after-
III ion and evening is spent in a glorious whirl-
wind of turnovers and jumps on the toboggan
run just out of town. The rougher the ride,
the l)etter.
In contrast, one only has lo sec the club
in action on a late spring or early fall day.
Instead of I'ollicking winter sports, there are
hikes through peaceful forests which lie near
( "iarion, walks along the riverside, lessons in
fishing, hunting, and bird lore.
These attractions constitute only a ])art
1 if t he activities of the Outdoor Club. Through
its program, brimful of life, it has come to be
known as one of the most active e.xtra-curricu-
lar activities on the campus.
The club was organized the second semes-
ter of 1930, and now consists of twenty mem-
bers. The aim of the club is to stimulate an
interest in outdoor life and to create an
appreciation for nature. The club's motto is
"The Natural Way to a Better Life."
The members consist of ten men and ten
women, and the club sponsor is Mr. Harry
Manson. The officers this year were: president,
Janet Reed; vice-president, Geraldine Thorne;
secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Moore.
Other members were : Lettisia Ammerman,
Laura Belle Hess, William Byers, Donald
lliwiller, George Hess, Tom Hosack, Henrietta
Hunter, Ruth Reaghart, Molly Shew, Charles
Imel, Charles Reed, Betty Smith, Green
Kuhns, Ross Rodgers, Bronie SuKilak, Lucille
Stcrret, and Alice Welch.
Beside participation in various outdoor
sports, there have been several useful plans
and activities drawn up and carried out. The
club published a small book attempting to
l)()rtray the purpose and activities of the club.
They are now planning to label the trees and
shrubs on the campus, and also to build up
and label the trails in Wilson's Woods.
The club is deeply appreciativi^ of Mr.
Manson, who has spent many hours in its
interests.

HIKING CLUB
"Let's go hiking." A number of girls
belonging to a club, appropriately called the
Hiking Club, accept this as a challenge. As
a result, the group has visited points of out-
standing natural beauty around Clarion. With
their adviser. Miss Carlson, several walks
were taken to the Clarion River, the airport,
the lily pond, and the Rankins' Grove. How-
ever, they have not confined their activities
to hiking only, but have included several
outdoor breakfasts in their schedule. It was
on one of these excursions that the girls saw
the sun rise.
On these trips, the girls were given oppor-
tunities for the development of an apprecia-
tion and greater knowledge of the outdoors.
Moreover, they acquired some very useful and
practical information. For example, they
learned to build fires in the woods. Later, to
make use of their newly acquired skill, they
learned to do their outdoor cooking.
"How far away shall I stand to take that
picture, I wonder?" "Will that shadow fall
on my camera?" "I'd like to know how to
develop my own prints. How is that done?"
"What should I do in case of poisoning while
hiking?" "If someone fell and broke his arm
or sprained his ankle, how should I take care
of it." "Hmm, I wonder whether that pile
of rocks is a sign of some kind or not. I should
find out about that." These topics and many
others were discussed at the regular meetings
of the club when the weather was inclement.
During fair weather, short hikes were taken at
these periods.
The members of the club feel that hobbies,
such as hiking and nature study can be carried
on anytime and anywhere. These are not
expensive recreations. No equipment is ab-
solutely necessary; usually no difficulties are
found in locating places for exploration.
To carry on the business of the organiza-
tion, the club elected Grace Wolbert, presi-
dent; Florence Gathers, vice-president; and
Edna Flinchbaugh, secretary-treasurer.

Y. W. C. A
TIk' Y.W.C.A. tries to meet the spiritual
iiccils of all the women on the campus. It
aims to create a spirit of sisterhood and to
promote a feeling of friendship among the
women. It endeavors to foster the develop-
ment of a personal philosophy of conduct and
morality in the individual members. Especial
effort is made to build up those characteristics
tu'ccssarj' to a successful teacher. In order to
develop these qualities the Y.W.C.A. conducts
a devotional service from seven to eight o'clock
every Wednesday evening. At this time some
members of the cabinet take charge of the
'ting and various members contribute
ideas. Special music, assigned topics, poems,
players, and open discussion occupy the hour.
( )rten some faculty member, minister, or a
well known individual is invited to speak,
although as far as possible the programs are
carried out by students.
Morning watch is conducted in the morn-
ings from seven to seven-ten in the "Y"
parlor in Becht Hall. At this time a cabinet
member takes charge, and a short devotional
meeting is held.
By means of the "Big Sister" movement
and the Fi'eshman Reception, the Cabinet
assists the freshmen women in their adjust-
ment to college life. It is through this that
the girls become acquainted with upper class-
men very quickly and arc introduced to the
faculty.
During Parents' Week-end the Y'.W.C.A.
conducts a morning devotional program usual-
ly lasting for one-half an hour. At a later
hour another devotional program in charge of
the Y'.W. and Y.M. combined is carried out
for both the fathers and the mothers of the
students.
In 1935 the Y.W. on the campus joined
another national movement, the Student
Christian Movement, from which much valu-
able assistance is received.
The officers of the Y. Cabinet are : presi-
dent, Erdene Toy; vice-president, Gertrude
Benson; secretary, Jean Groves; treasurer,
Alta Jones. Other cabinet members are:
Florence McCall, Sara Frazer, Velma Mc-
Intyre, Isabel Crawford, Fern Slagle, Mary
Belle Rodgers, Orpha Yoas, and Milly Ensle.

. Y. M. C. A.
The local branch of the Young Men's
Christian Association, an organization of
Christian fellowsliip, offers a challenge to all
serious minded young men who desire to sup-
plement their necessary academic education
with religious and moral training. Its activi-
ties and influence are directed primarily
toward the mind and spiritual side of man
rather than the physical.
During this school year the "Y" has
enjoyed a variety of activities. On occasions
its meetings have been conducted in the form
of panel discussions, subjects considered being
problems and issues of vital social or economic
importance. To insure interest, members were
invited to prepare statements and arguments,
present them to the group, and lead in floor
discussions. Some of the most active mem-
bers of the "Y" during the past year were:
Carl Bean, John Donhiser, Melvin Densmore,
Lorrain Maurer, Robert Crissman, Donald
Jones, Clyde Austin, and Frank Young.
At the beginning of the school year a
Y.M.C.A. delegation was sent to Slippery
Rock to a "Student-Faculty" conference. The
theme of the conference discussions was
"Christ and College Youth". The conference
was under the direction of Richard Crow,
President of the State Student Council.
During the past year the "Y" was privileg-
ed to hear addresses by several pastors of
Clarion churches. Dr. Claire Kay Stewart of
the Presbyterian Church, the Reverend Mr.
Wimer of the Methodist Church, and the
Reverend Mr. C.C. Rich of the Baptist Church
each delivered instructive talks relating to the
place of the Bible in the lives of college
students.
A year of uplifting and stimulating
Y.M.C.A. activities was brought to an im-
pressive close by an intensive study of person-
ality development. The course of study,
under the title "The Person I Hope to
Become", was under the guidance of members
of the faculty. At this time the men wish to
pay a tribute to Mr. Charles Becker, who has
been prominent in this organization.

MUSIC AND
The school term 1935- 1936 witnessed the
most active year for music that Clarion State
Teachers College has ever had. A great
amount of the credit for the musical success
achieveil should go to Miss Gladys Ricli. our
music supervisor.
In the Pictorial Review for November
1935, Miss Rich is listed among the ten most
prominent women song writers of today.
While she is the composer of many songs, her
most popular one is "The American Lullaby,"
made famous as an encore song by Lawrence
Tibbett and Rose Brampton. Two of her
.Vo^ iinbl III, ll„„n of hi

DRAMATIC REVIEW
newest works, "The Emperor", a musical
setting for an old Chinese poem, and "The
Banana Man," a rollicking hurdy-gurdy tune
for a poem by Phyllis McGinle}' were intro-
duced by Tom Pljder in the spring concert
program.
Several of her compositions, such as "The
Nursery Rhyme Blues" sung by our Girls'
Trio — Dorothy Moore, Jane Wright, and
Helen Walter and the "Clarion Alma Mater",
which was introduced last j^ear, were used to
advantage in the special trips the A Cappella
Choir made to the surrounding high schools.
Miss Rich not only supervised two concert
programs and led the A Cappella Choir on
their special field trips, but staged the musical
hit of the year "Let's Go Collegiate". It
was played two nights before a packed crowd
on each occasion.
Music awards, based upon a point system,
consist of gold pins for the four year students
and silver pins for the two year students.
Winners of the gold awards this year are:
Gerald Keefer, no points; Ross Rodgers, loi
points; Frank Young, 83 points; Eileen Luce,
81 points; and Sara Fowkes, 81 points. Win-
ners of the silver awards are : Gretchen Myers,
54 points; and Gertrude Benson, 51 points.
This was not only a gala 3'ear for music
but one of the most productive in the history
of the College Players Club, sponsored and
directed by Miss Marie Marwick assisted by
Miss Margaret Boyd.
Miss Marwick has been with the school
seven years. In this time the College Players
Club developed from a club consisting entirely
of girls to the efficient professional like organ-
ization it is today. Too much praise cannot
be given her for the quality of performance
she brings out in the various college plays.
It is reflected in the crowds that come to see a
College Players Play. Miss Boyd is invalu-
able as make-up artist for the actors and
critic at rehearsals for the big plays; she too
is a competent director, as has been shown in
some assembly one act plays.
Through the efforts of Miss Marwick
Clarion State Teachers College has been
honored this year by the grant of a chapter
Gladys Rich —
Director oj Music
of Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorarj-
fraternity in dramatics. Although this fra-
ternitjr will in no way take the place of The
College Plaj-ers, membership in Alpha Psi
Omega will be given as a reward to those
players who qualify for membership.
Miss Marwick, director of the College
Plaj^ers, and a member of Alpha Psi Omega,
was empowered by the national officers to
represent them and to conduct the installa-
tion, which was held on Friday evening,
January 17. The charter members of Alpha
Upsilon Cast of Alpha Psi Omega are "\'irginia
Kaufman, Dorothy Haley, James Kanen-
geiser, Willard Miller, and Miss Margaret
Boyd.
Alpha Psi Omega is the largest of all the
dramatic fraternities, having more than one
hundred chapters in the colleges and uni-
versities of the L^nited States and Canada.
In Pennsylvania, chapters are located at
Washington and Jefferson College, Muhlen-
berg College, L'rsinus College, and, among the
state teachers colleges, at Bloomsburg, Echn-
boro. Slippery Rock, and California. As
Alpha Psi Omega is a member of the Associa-
tion of Speech Arts Fraternities of America,
membership in the fraternity is both an honor
and a professional asset.
Officers in the Alpha Upsilon Cast are as
follows: Cast Director, James Kanengeiser;
Stage Manager, Willard Miller; Business
Manager, Dorothy Haley; Faculty Director,
Miss Margaret Bo3'd.
Other members of the Cast are Virginia
Kaufman, Marion Renn, Willis Ford, and
James Call.

MEN'S 6LEE CLUB
The Men's Glee Club has enjoyed a very-
successful season. Some excellent new talent
was recruited at the beginning of the season,
and the old members seem to have improved
remarkably.
The season began with the chapel program
on December 5, in which the club sang "Lil'
David Play on Yo' Harp" and "Shortnin'
Bread".
The crowning performance of the club
came in the revue "Let's Go Collegiate"
presented in the college chapel on February
20-21. In the German scene, in which Tom
Plyler took the part of Hitler, the club,
dressed in snappy Nazi uniforms, delighted
the audience with its rendition of the
"Heidelberg Song" and the "Singers March".
Following this came the Italian scene with
Thomas Hosack as Mussolini, Perry Lewis
as United States news photographer, and Earl
Hovis as Fascist student. Ne.\t came the
Russian scene in which Morgan Jones was
cast as Stalin, with Neal Guthrie and Charles
Hetrick as his aides. In Ethiopia, Frank
Young represented Haille Selaisse, Ross Rod-
gers was the United States newspaper reporter
and Dean McKinney was a mighty Ethiopian
hunter. The final foreign scene was laid in a
tea-garden in Manchuko. Several members of
the cast of the "Mikado", the musical success
of last season, presented a few of the songs
from that show. Also introduced by Gerald
Keefer in one of the interludes was the clever
song "I'm as Blue as the Sea" composed
by one of the club members, Clyde Austin.
The Men's Glee Club made its final
appearance in the spring concert on April 8,
singing "Neath Your Window" by Gates and
"Sarita" by Bui'ton.
WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB . . . .
The Women's Glee Club has been one of
the most popular organizations on the campus
this year if one is to judge by an enrollment
of 53 members. The officers for the first
semester were: Ruth Chitester, president;
Genevieve Henry, secretary-treasurer; and
Jean Groves, librarian. The officers for the
second semester were: Dorothy Haley, presi-
dent; Janet Reed, secretary-treasurer; and
Milly Ensle, librarian.
The Women's Glee Club made its initial
appearance of the year at the chapel program
in December, when they sang "Honey Chile"
by Stickland, and "Oh, didn't it Rain," by
Burleigh. They were also invited to sing
these numbers at a meeting of the Clarion
Woman's Club on January 13.
Those who were fortunate enough to
attend the musical revue, "Let's Go Collegi-
ate" saw the music organizations at their
best. This show produced under the
capable direction of Miss Gladys Rich and
Miss Hazel Sandford was sponsored by the
Clarion Fire and Hose Company and proved
to be the musical hit of the year. Miss
Sandford outdid herself in the erection of
such foreign scenic effects as palm trees in the
wilds of Ethiopia and snowcapped peaks of
Manchuko for a Japanese Tea Garden.
Dorothy Haley, the leading lady, accompained
by James Kanengeiser, the leading man,
visited all these foreign places in search of
students for Clarion. The Barmaids in the
German scene were members of the Woman's
Glee Club as were the Japanese girls in the
Manchuko scene. In the Italian scene the
Women's Glee Club was featured singing
"Ciribiribim," an Italian folk-song; and
"Piccolina", one of the late musical hits.
The Women's Glee Club made its final
appearance at the annual spring concert on
April 8.

CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA
Muxic entli tmiantx
prnrticc n xniiy.
A CAPPELLA CHOIR
The A Cappella Choir, a mixed chorus of
sixteen voices, was first organized on the
campus in 1933, when Miss Gladys Rich
selected a group of well blended voices from
the Men's and Women's (Uee Clubs for the
purpose of studyinfi; some of the more ad-
vanced compositions.
Under the ins|iiring leadership of Miss
Rich the A Cappella Choir has become one of
the most distinctive organizations on the
campus. To be chosen as a member of this
group is not onlj' an honor in itself, but the
hours spent singing beautiful unaccompanied
sacred and secular music brings about an
unusual spirit of unity and friendship not
always felt in other organizations.
On December 5 the department presented
a chapel program of "Plantation Echoes" in
which the Choir made its first appearance of
the year singing the following selections
characteristic of the negro songs: "Listen To
The Lambs" by Dett, "Steal Away," arranged
by Fisher, and a clever arrangment of Foster's
■'( )h Suzanna."
As a result of a study of Russian music,
the Choir gave a unique presentation of
liussian songs in the College Revue "Let's
Co Collegiate." Dressed in new colorful
costumes thej' dominated the Russian scene
by their artistic presentation of "The Spin-
ning Top," by Rimsky Korsakoff, and "Vanka
'X' Tanke", a Russian folk song. Among
the other Russian numbers studied witli
interest and enthusiasm was "Ilospodi Pom-
ilui" by Lvovsky, a chant meaning "Have
mercy on us, () Lord," used in the Russian
church.
In the spring a study was made of old
English music. The "Echo song", by Orlando
(li Lasso, and "Now Is The Month of Maying"
by Morley, were numbers used in the uniuial
spring concert given on April S. During
March and April the choir went on several
trips visiting nearby high schools and present-
ing on each occasion a variety program of the
various types of music studied. These trips
have proved to be very enjoyable anil profit-
able.
Featured in solos in the various programs
presented have been Anna Mary Fox and
Elizabeth Hook, sopranos; Isabel Crawford,
alto; Morgan Jones, Tom Plyler, Gerald
Iveefer an<l Ross Rodgers, tenors.
The following students arc members of the
choir: Sara Fowkes, Elizabeth Hook (first
semester) Anna Mary Fox (second semester),
Eileen Luce, Dorothy Moore, Mary Joye
Jones, Jane Wright, Isabel Crawford, Helen
Walter, Morgan Jones, Gerald Keefer, Ross
Rodgers, Tom Plyler, Tom Hosack, Perry
Lewis, John Hess and James Kanengeiser.
On May 8 the members of the A Cappella
Choir assisted in the annual Music Festival
sponsored by Clarion State Teachers College
in the interest of musical achievement.
Choruses, orchestras, and soloists came from
surrounding high schools and participated in
this animal celebration of music week.
THE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA
Under the capable direction of Miss Rich,
the college orchestra has become another out-
standing organization on the college campus.
The Tuesday evening rehearsals provide
pleasant associations for the members them-
selves, and the student body as well has benefit-
ed by hearing on chapel and concert programs
the fruits of their labors. The membership of
the college orchestra this year has been as
follows: Lettisia Ammerman,
Violin; Clyde Austin, Violin;
Gertrude Benson, Violin;
Margaret Dale, Violin; Sara
Fowkes, Violin; Margaret
Wilbert, Viola; Rowland Lew
is, String Bass ; Gerald Keef ei ,
Cornet; Willard Miller, Cor-
net; Claire King, Saxaphone;
Ross Rodgers, Trombone;
Erdene Toy, Clarinet; Leona
Burnham, Clarinet; Lula
Saum, Clarinet; Frank Young,
French Horn ; Arvaughn Dav-
is, Drums; and Gretchen My-
ers, Piano.
The college orchestra made
its first appearance this yeai
on the chapel program "Plant-
ation Echoes" presented by
the music department on
December 5. The numbers
played were: "Connecticut"
by Nassann, and a "Medley
of Southern Melodies." They
also accompanied the com-
bined Glee Clubs in the sing-
ing of "Massa Dear" a choral
arrangement of the Largo
theme from the New World
Symphony by Dvorak. On
this same program Margaret
Dale played a mandolin solo, "Old Black Joe
Variations" accompanied by Gretchen Myers.
On February 20 and 21 the college orches-
tra assisted in the presentation of the annual
college revue "Let's Go Collegiate." Such
popular numbers as "Schooldays", "Two
Hearts in three-quarter Time." "Piccolino,"
"Sympathy" and the "Song of the Flame"
were used.
On April 8, the orchestra participated in

for the first time this year. It consists of
four members from the violin section of the
orchestra: Margaret Dale, first violin; Lettisia
Ammerman, second violin; Gertrude Benson,
third violin; and Sara Fowkes, fourth violin.
This quartet appeared on the program present-
ed in chapel in December playing a "Prelude"
by Chopin and the "Waltz in A" by Brahms.
The}' also plaj^ed at various social functions
during the first semester.
Gerald Keefer and Ross Rodgers have
appeared on many chapel programs with
their trumpet and trombone solos and duets
in the past and will be sincerely missed in
the orchestra after this year. In the spring
concert, they played "The Evening Star"
from Tannhauser by Wagner and a "Serenade"
composed by Miss Rich.

COLLEGE PLAYERS
( )iu' (if tho oldest organizations on the
( larion campus is the College Players, organ-
ized in April, 1920, with twelve charter
members. Today the College Players Clui)
has a restricted membership of forty-five.
The Players are interested in drama and
dramatics, and in the various phases of play
production: directing, acting, lighting, cos-
tume, make-up, scenic design, and construc-
tion of properties. Activities of the club
this year have included discussions and illu.s-
trations of these various aspects of dramatic
work, the presentation of nine plays, and
participation in several social aiTairs, includ-
ing the annual banquet.
Two one-act plays were presented in
assembly: The Travelers and The Man
Upstairs, both directed by Miss Margaret
Boyd. Two pulilic three-act plays were pro-
(luc('(l uiuler the direction of Miss Marie
Marwick: The Big Pond and Fll Leave It To
You. The Big Pond was noteworthy for
effective staging and competent acting. James
Kanengeiser as Pierre de Mirando gave a
polished performance which climaxed four
years of activity in the College Players. Other
members of the cast were: (Jondolier, Thomas
Plyler; Francesco, Morgan Jones; Konny
Davis, James Call; Mrs. Henry Billings,
Frances Berkhouse; Mrs. Hiram Livermore,
Mrginia Kaufman; Barbara Billings, Marian
Heiin; Henry Billings, Wilhird Miller; Sarah,
Jane Brogan; and Molly Perkins, Bonnie Bell.
For several years the College Players have
produced a three-act play for Parents' Day.
This year the clever and amusing English
comedy, Pll Leave It To You, proved to be a
happy choice. The com(>dy contained many

Davis, Dean McKinney; Mrs. Crombie, Anna
Mary Fox; Faith, Catherine Wilhelm; (iriggs,
.lohn Haskell.
It has always been the policy of the
director of dramatics. Miss Marie Marwick,
during her seven years association with the
College Players, to give as many club mem-
bers as possible opportunity for participation
in public plays, as well as in club and chapel
plays. At the same time effort and ability
are recognized, and four-year College Players
are given the opportunity of assuming many
and varied roles and participating in all other
phases of play production. No one activity
gives opportunity for the creative expression
of such varied talents. Actor, scenic designer,
electrician, carpenter, costumer all may find
in play iiroduction ample opportunity for the
expression of their individual talents.
Thomas Plyler and Virginia Kaufman,
respectively, served as presidents of the organ-
ization for the first and second semesters.

The Travelers, Booth Tarkington's one-act
comedy, was presented in assembly on October
24, under the direction of Miss Margaret
Boyd. This humorous play combines ele-
ments of farce, satire, and mystery. It con-
cerns the humorous adventures of an Ameri-
can family traveling in Sicily, who spend a
terrifying night in a mysterious inn.

The College Players, under the direction
of Miss Margaret Boyd, presented The Man
Upstairs, a one-act comedy by A. E. Thomas,
on February 13. The play concerned the
domestic mix-up of the Ruggles and Frisbie
families. High spots of the play were Mrs.
Ruggles' ignorance of intelligent house-keep-
ing, the Irish maid's canny dickering for
personal privileges, the entrance of Mr.
Frisbie into the wrong apartment, and the
final bedlam caused by the reunion of all
the characters. The cast was as follows:
Mr. Ruggles, William Kissell; Mrs. Ruggles,
Bonnie Bell; Mr. Frisbie, Thomas Hosack;
Mrs. Frisbie, Maxine Moore; and Mary, the
maid, Frances Wriglesworth. The prompter

WORK ON PUBLICATIONS
"The Calls are out." Such a statement
results in excitement around mail boxes,
second only to that caused by the distribution
of comments. The "Clarion Call", which was
first published about 1922, during Dr. C. C.
Green's administration, is the bi-monthly
newspaper of the College. Since its beginning,
alterations have been made by cadi cilitcir.
The editors of the "Call" for the past four
years have been: John Riemer, 1932-1933;
Morton McKinney, 1933; Jean Kunselman,
1934; Pauline Smith, 1934-1935; Ruth Chites-
ter, 1935-1936.
The Journalism Club first published the
"Call" as a mimeographed sheet. Later the
Community Senate took charge, and changed
its form so that it resembled a newspaper more
closely. It has since then been printed by
local printing establishments. The Senate
relinquished its control at the beginning of
the second semester of the year 1933-1934.
At the present time the Press Club, under
the direction of Miss Bertha Nair, is in
charge of its publication. Improvements have
been made in the "Call" through an attempt
to reach the standards for college newspapers
set up bjr the Columbia Scholastic Press
Association. In several of the l']nglish coui'scs,
units have been devoted to the study of the
newspaper. This has aroused greater interest
in the "Call" and has developed greater
proficiency in writing and news editing.
During the past several years an exchange
system has been established by which copies
of the "Clarion Call" have been exchanged
for copies of newspapers published by the
other state teachers colleges of Pennsylvania
and other nearby colleges. This exchange
provides an opportunity to obtain new ideas;
it provides a means for rating the different
papers; and, above all, it creates a feeling
of good fellowship among the colleges. During
the past year a feature article written by
Ruthe Prue was so well received by the staff
of the Allegheny College newspaper that they
asked permission to publish it with such
changes as would make it apply to Allegheny
College.
While great changes have been made in
the plan of the "Call", the work of the staff
has also been altered. The members of the
staff have gradually accepted more of the
responsibility, so that now they not only do
the writing, but also the planning, revising,
copy-reading, and proof-reading.
When the Class of '09 of the Clarion
Normal School decided that it would publish
Advisi'i
Berltm
Nair
an annual, a precedent was established which
has been followed for twenty-seven years.
Although the purpose and general plan of the
"Sequelle" has not changed, each graduating
class has prepared an annual which has
differed from that of previous years. Each
staff, or Board of Editors as they were called,
has shown originality in design. Cartoons,
which featured the title pages of earlier
Sequelles, have been supplanted by photo-
graphs. Modernistic design has come into
its own in recent issues. These changes result,
no doubt, from changes in the curricula,
changes in the types of extra-curricular ac-
tivities, and changes in general trends.
It is very likely, however, that the greatest
innovations have been made in the 1936
Sequelle. Informality is its keynote. Photo-
graphs, except those of the largest groups,
are representative of informal gatherings and
actual occurrences. AVrite-ups, breaking away
from the traditional, formalized style reveal
the work of the year. The bold black and
red type completes this striking informal
Sequelle. It is intended to be a vivid reminder
of days spent at Clarion, and it is the sincere
wish of the staff that this book may meet
the approval not only of the students and
faculty, but also friends of the school.
The staffs of the publications have been
thoughtfully advised by Miss Nair. The
success of these publications is largely due to
her untiring efforts.

Above a paper cluttered desk we gaze upon the harrassed countenance
of our Call Editor, Kuth Chitester. Miss Nair rushes into the room with
a purposeful step. Colleagues, consisting of staff members, help or hinder
according to their individual talents by asking questions, interrupting, and
making wild suggestions.
"Where's that copy? Who is chairman of that department? Is that
headline suitable? Let us not have too many articles on the faculty on
the front page. That was the printer's error in the last issue. How do you
spell — ?" and so on ad infinitum.
Out of the general hub-dub. Miss Nair's voice rises, "Where is Dr.
Rienier's article? Did you not have it. Miss Chitester?," she asks as she
fumbles through the mass of papers collected by the editor. And so begins
an exhaustive search for that most important paper. That difficulty dis-
pensed with, the copy reading is resumed in earnest.
"Miss Chitester, this article about Dr. Hoban's chapel address will have
to lie rowrit ten. I do not like this sentence about the five things he enjoyed,"
exclaims Miss Nair.
"But, Miss Nair, I put in everything that I could remember about it."
"Nevertheless, it must be revised. I'll see what I can do to it. Oh,
there goes Dr. Hoban by the door. I'll ask him to tell us what he said.
Yoo-hoo, Dr. Iloban, you are just the nuin I want to see," calls Miss Nair
as she hurries from the room.
Soon she reappears with the desired information and sets about to
correct more copy.
"I never saw such disgraceful spelling and sentence structure," she
declares vehemently, as she proceeds to read the typewritten sheets;
and with a flourish of her red pencil and with battle in her eye, she attacks
the offending .sentences. The editor by her side, with grave demeanor,
makes the next "Call" assignments and begs her co-workers for the hun-
dredth time to follow the rules of good journalism.

THE SEQUELLE
Dale, Jones, Sterrett, Kaufman, Phillips, Slagle, Plyler, Smith, Giles, Kenemuth, Sershen,
Hess, Prue.
The story of this year's "Sequelle" began last spring, when the graduates
of 1936 elected the following students to staff positions: Editor-in-chief,
Pauline Smith; associate-editor, Carl Bean; business manager, Ruth
Phillips; and assistant business manager, Tom Plyler.
During the summer and early fall the staff members and Miss Bertha
Nair, adviser, were continually visited by salesmen from engravers and
printers, eager to sell their services. So keen was the rivalry this year that
the editors state they were offered as inducements everything from tickets
to a football game to "all expenses paid" trips to factories if only they would
sign on the dotted line. The engraving contract was finally let to the
Pontiac Engraving and Electrotype Company, Chicago, Illinois; the
printing to the Gray Printing Company, DuBois, Pennsylvania; and the
photography to Carl and Don, Clarion, Pennsylvania.
One of the first activities of the year was the appointment by the staff
of other members. Those students chosen were: Margaret Dale, literary
editor; Phyllis Giles, organizations; John Sershen, photography; Morgan
Jones and Ruthe Prue, feature; Laura Belle Hess, women's athletics;
Wayne Kenemuth, men's athletics; Dorothy Kaufman, Lucille Sterret,
copy readers; and Fern Slagie, typist.
In the opinion of the editors these students have done well. Many
of them were instrumental in securing write-ups, deemed almost impossible,
from some of our students who avoided journalism as a great plague. The
staff had to answer satisfactorily such questions as the following: "Must
I have 475 words exactly?" "Must I write the whole Sequelle?" (The last
question is attributed to Bill Byers) "When is the Sequelle coming out?" —
and so on. Nevertheless the staff wishes to thank our unsung heroes and
heroines who contributed so gallantly to these pages.
The staff is also particularly grateful to Miss Bertha Nair for her
invaluable aid, to Mr. Don Emig for his every ready cooperation, to Mr.
Don Young, Pontiac representative, and to Mr. Harold Gray, printer, for
their friendly interest in Clarion's 1936 Sequelle.

HI6H POINTS OF
We inlroducK Ctmch TipiAn,
the nuMer of Clarion f. iithlHua.
Waldo S. Tippin
First, a student at Kansas State, then at the University of Miehig:an
during the summer of 1925, at Notre Dame in 1926, and the recipient of
the B.S. degree from (U-neva in 1922 and M.A. from C'olumljia in 1933 —
tliis is the record of our new coach and director of physical education.
:\Ir. Tippin tauglit physics and coached athletics for three years in the
senior high school (jf Rochester, Pa. The next seven years he was director
of physical education in the Meadville city school system ami then held
the a.ssistant professorship of physical education at Allegheny College for
three j-ears.
Mr. Tippin is married and has one son, five anil a half, named Waldo
Samuel, Jr. He is friendly, i)rogressive, and capable.
For Mr. Tipjiin life began at fourteen. He chose his ])rofession with the
intention of later enrolling in medical school. He would have realized his
aml)ition had not Cupitl decreed otherwise.
("oncerning this year's athletic program, Mr. Tippin has made extensiye
plans. In a recent interview he said, "I hope to build up a big program in
physical education here. I also intend to include soccer, tennis, golf,
fishing, hunting; to develop skills in activities, that the men can pursue
long after they have cca.sed to give football signals. This will nuan imlivid-
ualized instruction."
To his other interest, he adds traveling, dramatics, and hooks ()f a
professional nature. He is experienced in the techni(iue of after-dinner
si)eeches, having made twenty this last winter. He has also addressed
many service clubs and physi(ral education groups in institutes.
Mr. Tip|)iii admits that he was pleasantly surprised at the spiiit and
unity of our school. He appreciates the comradeship that exists between
faculty and students.
We are fortunate to be able to welcome Coach Tippin into our miiist.
INTERCOLLEGIATE COMPETITION
The Athletic season for 1935-36 is over.
What has occurred? Were we successful? Did
we get what we wanted and expected out of
our athletic program?
First, we should consider our new in-
tramural sports program. This program is
supposed to include at least seven sports,
and to bring all the men students in the
college into active athletic participation with
its conceded virtues and benefits. This is
the first time such an extensive program has
been attempted; and although it probably is
not perfected, yet the foundation has been
placed.
Keen and eager participation was evidenc-
ed in all of the contests conducted, and many
felt that the program had supplied a much
needed supplement to our athletic program.
Most of the credit for this program goes,
of course, to our coach, Waldo Tippin. His
initiative was responsible.
To glance at our records of victories won
and defeats suffered liy our foot 1 jail team
this year, the casual observer would saj',
"Decidedly terrible", or words to that effect.
And considering our one victory and our six
defeats, at first glance, we say the same.
As we look more closely, we begin to realize
our small enrollment, the lack of material,
not so much quality as quantity, and the
size (weight) of our team compared- with
teams of our opponents.
And then we look in a different direction.
Is victory everything? Certainly it is very
desirable, but not everything.
Regardless of our fortunes the fellows were
in their fighting clothes all the time, fighting
for victory, fighting to keep the name of our
college clean and respected, fighting in the
heat of a game which everyone loved but
fighting "clean".
And there was developed a feeling of
comradeship and fellowship among them, such
Football Managers ....
r^?F^
as only someone who has participated in the
game can understand. Ask anyone on the
"inside" to try to explain it.
We honestlj' say we are proud of our
football team and proud of what it did. And
the same praise goes to our basketball team,
which did much better on the "Victory page".
Five wins and seven losses.
Then there is another aspect. Did the
student body as a whole receive any enjoy-
ment? We say, "Yes, especially at the
basketball games, since there was only one
football game at home".
Tennis, golf, and other "talked of" sports
have not yet begun, but with our six new
tennis courts we feel optimistic about develop-
ment in these fields.
AJl-in-all the year 1935-36 was an im-
provement. It has made the student body
conscious of athletics, and has made increased
participation therein possible to all members
of the student body.
In reviewing the year's work. Coach
Tippin says "The first activity of the school
year in the department of physical education
was that of football. Three lettermen were
available from last year. This meant that
the team had to be built from inexperienced
material most of which was very light in
weight. A schedule of seven games was
played; of the seven but one was won. In
general the team was weak offensively, having
very little power from the running attack.
There was also a glaring weakness in a pass
defense.
"During the fall season soccer was started
in the physical education classes and played
intramurally. A. great deal of interest was
evidenced in this activity which is expected to
grow.
"Volley ball showed a hearty response, and
some very fine games were played in determin-
ing the intramural championship.
"Twelve games of basketball were schedul-
ed, five games being won. Most of the team
will be back next year, and it is felt that a good
foundation was laid this year for future
seasons. Intramural basketball was popular,
a total of fifty games being played.
"At this writing, hand ball is starting in
the intramurals and will be followed by ping
pong, horseshoes, tennis, track, and soft ball.
Intercollegiate tennis will also be carried on.
"Probably the most outstanding feature of
the physical education department of the past
year has been the growth of intramural
activities."

The Clarion State Teachers College foot-
ball eleven opened its 1935 gridiron season on
Saturday, September 29, at Bloomsburg
with a starting lineup, which contained only
three lettermen from last year. (The three
letterman, co-captains Kenny and Hess, and
Bedzyk, all played in the line last year at
tackle, guard, and end respectively, but this
j-ear Hess and Bedzyk were moved into the
backfield), and with a new coach, Waldo
Tippin, the results were awaited rather
anxiously.
The game was played in a very cold,
drizzling rain. The teams were on even terms
(luring the first C}uarter, but in the second
Bloomsburg unloosed their forward passing
attack to cross our goal line twice, and convert
once. They came right back after the half
to push over another score, and with these
three touchdowns by Border, Moleski, and
\'ershinski, we were downed 19-0. We shall
lay the defeat at the feet of" 01 Forward Pass."
Saturday, October 15, we went to Mead-
ville to meet Allegheny in their opening game.
We hoped to open their .season with a victory
for us, but someone de.sired otherwise. We
outplayed them during the first half, but we
were unable to push across a score. The
seconil half was more or less a repetition of
the first except that Allegheny made one sus-
tained drive of fifty-five yards, which carried
them across our goal. Clark climaxed the
march with his fourteen-yard rever.se around
left end for the lone touch down. Petriquiro
plunged for the extra point, making a score
of 7-0 in favor of Allegheny in a close exciting
game in which victory was nearly ours.
A third straight Saturday and a third
straight defeat. Only this wasn't close. Thiel
was just too good. Comparatively, our
defense was poor; their offen.se was verj^ good.
The longest run was made by Striner with a
sixtj'-five yard return of a punt for a touch-
down. Altogether they rolled up seven
touchdowns and five extra points. We col-
lected a safety in the final quarter to make it
47-2. Bedzyk was the mainstay for our
defense.
We had a week's lay-off in which to get
ready for the big game of the year, the
Homecoming game with Edinboro-the onlj'
game to be played before the student body
this year. Enthusiasm ran high, and we
were all optimistic with reason, it developed.
We had the field in our power; and with the
crowd in the stands pulling our way and with
ideal weather conditions, we romped to a
19-0 victory, a sweet taste in our hopeful
and expectant mouths. Bedzyk, with "big-
time" interference and beautiful line play,
ran all over the field.
Clarion's first score came in the middle
of the second period, when Vogel and Bean
blocked an Edinboro punt. The ball rebound-
ed into the end zone, and after a minor melee,
Stewart was h'ing over the ball. Hess con-
verted; 7-0, not bad.
Bedzyk scored the other two touchdowns
in the third and fourth jieriod, the first from
the ten yard line and the second from the
five yartl line.
The next Saturday, November 2, we met
the big Jjock Haven team. The team was
just too much for the Clarion players, and
with excellent offensive thrusts and despite
stubborn defense, JjOck Haven carried the
ball over for six touchdowns. The final score
read 39-0.
The next two games, with Indiana and
California, were both disastrous as far as
our hopes and sentiments were concerned.
Both teams proved decidedly superior to our
team; Indiana won 33-0, and California won
38-0.
84
Our team was notably weaiv on pass
defense during the whole season, and many
of the opponent's scores were made by this
route.
Bedzyk was easily the outstanding plaj'er
of the season, as was shown when he was
voted the most outstanding individual player
on any team among the state teachers colleges.
Seventeen players received varsity awards
this j^ear: Gilfillan, Reed, Stewart, Vogel,
Kenny, Brogan, Bedzyk, Sloan, Zanot, Bean,
SchieBerl, Guthrie, Hess, Bedz3'k, Hubler,
Griffin, Wozniak, and Andreo. The outlook
for next season is uncertain, as about eight
of the lettermen are leaving us, including
Vogel, Zanot, Stewart, Hubler, Hess, Kenny,
Bean, and Wozniak.
So we conclude the season, having played
five state teachers colleges and two liberal arts
colleges — with one victory and six defeats —
not dismayed, discouraged, or disappointed,
but with a hope for "better luck" in the
future.
Many rumors were circulated about the
campus this j^ear as to the discontinuation of
football. It seemed as though Clarion were
to be the only teachers college in the state
without a football team. A vote was cast
under the auspices of the Student Senate.
The result was an overwhelming majority of
112, voting for the continuation of football
and only 30 voting against it. It is evident,
then, that our student bodjr is willing to
back the teams to the limit.
What are our prospects for football next
year? Although football season is still a
long way off, we think that we should note how
seriously graduation will affect us. How
many lettermen who are with us now, will be
here to carry on in the next grid campaign?
We lose our two co-captains, Joe Kenny and
Duke Hess, both seniors, who have had three
and four years experience in college football.
Our greatest number of lettermen will be lost

Bean, Zanot, Hubler, Stewart, Gilfillan, and
Wozniak. We also lose Brogan and Vogel
through their discontinuation of school. This
will leave Griffin, Reed, Sloan, Schierberl,
Guthrie, and Andreo as lettermen for Coach
Tippin to use as a nucleus for next year's
team.
This may seem a little startling to saj-, but
we must remember that we were even more
seriously affected by graduation the j^ear
before and that at the start of last year's foot-
ball season, our coach had onlj^ three letter-
men. It was necessary for him to select eight
pla3'ers from a green squad, some of them
having never played football before. We can
always rely upon a certain amount of good
material coming from the freshmen ranks each
year.
Clarion has always lived up to its tradition
of being a verj' fighting football machine with
a spirit of true sportsmanship respected by its
sister teacher colleges as well as by the few
liberal arts colleges that are listed on its
schedule. Regardless of how large or small
our teams are, we can always point with
pride to them whether they win or lose. We
know that the men representing our college
give everything that they are capable of in
order to lead our school to victories.

CAGERS ENJOY SUCCESS....
The basketball season ended Wednesday,
March ii, at Grove City. Scanning the
records shows that we came through the
season with tive wins and seven loses. This
was a decided improvement over last year's
record, and is quite good. Most of the games
were close ones.
Three lettermen wore back from last year:
lletrick, Bedzyk, and Smolak. They, with
Kribbs and Byers, formed the regulars of this
year. Seven men received letters this year,
including Bedzyk, Smolak, Hetrick, Kribbs,
Byers, Marshall, Hosack, and manager Cam-
iolo.
In the opening game of the season played
on the home Hoor, Decemljer 14, IQ35, in a
thrilling, close battle. Clarion topped Allegh-
eny in an overtime period, 27-23. This was
only one of several close exciting games played.
The first half ended 13-9 in favor of Al-
legheny. In the second half, Clarion began
working a little more smoothly on the offense,
and with the aid of Kriljbs and Hetrick forged
ahead, 21-19. With forty-five seconds re-
maining, Shaffer of Allegheny threw a long
shot and tied the score. This necessitated an
extra five-minute period. In this period
Smolak accounted for one and Marshall for
two field goals and victory. The game was
made more exciting by the rough, aggressive
types of playing displayed. Bedzyk was high
scorer with nine points.
The next game found the team opposing
the Alumni, featuring such "notal)les" as
Peterson, Wilhelm, Hosenzweig, and Williams.
It started out adversely for us, but the pace
was too much for the "old" t)oys. At the
end of the first quarter the Alumni led 8-5.
The college came back, however, and at the
half was leading by seven points. The
margin at the end of the game was the same.
The final score was 33-26. "Wasp" lletrick,
ami Williams shared high scoring honors with
ten points each.
The next game found us snowed under by
Ivlinboi'o at Edinboro to the tune of 52-35.
The fourth game, played at Indiana on
January 20, evened the season for us, as
Indiana won 41-25 in an easy fray for them.
They scored more or less at will.
We played California at California on
January 25, and we went down 52-31. Just
a case of having too nuich for us.
February 4, at Indiana, we had a
chance to even the won and lost column, and
avenge that 41-25 defeat. We did it. We won
33-31 in a heartlireaker — for Indiana. With
Byers leading the attack with 16 points and
Hetrick with 10, we swarmed over them in
the second half to nose them out. In five
minutes of this second half, Byers and Hetrick
threw in three field goals apiece.
We traveled to Slippery Rock February 8,
and then l)egan to wonder why. The game
was close until the last period; then Sli|)i)('ry
Hock turned on the power, and we went
down 37-27.
Slippery Rock was at Clarion the week of
February i, juid a repetition of the last week
took place. The scoring occurred at the
beginning insteail of at the end. Hetrick tried
valiantly to keep us in the running, but his
13 points weren't enough. At the half Clarion
trailed 26-8; the rest of the game was close
except for that margin. They "took" us
49-30.
Cahfornia came to Clarion on February 22.
We had another chance for revenge, and we
took it. In a truly "seesaw" game, which
California led at the half 16-15, we outlasted
and outscored California to win by one point,
33-32. This was naturally one of the best
games of the season. Byers with 1 1 and
Hetrick with 9 points were high scorers.
Grove City came to town February 25,
highly favored to beat us. But we got the
jump and kept it. We led at the half 17-12,
and we ended up even further ahead, 36-27.
Smolak and Marshall each scored ten points
to top scoring.
Edinboro was back February 29 to take
another victory, this time not so one sided.
The score was 33-30, and this only after an
extra period. Clarion led 15-5 at the half,
but Edinboro rallied to tie the count at 25-25
at the end of the regulation time. Edinboro
added 8 points then to take both games for
the year.
Clarion went to Grove City for the final
game, feeling confident that they might even
the seasons score at six and six by scalping
Grove City. But Grove City remembered
the other defeat, and with our forward
Hetrick out with injuries, they had an easy
time. Bingham of Grove City added 10
points to the others to beat us 51-23.

VARSITY "C" CLUB . .
The Varsity "C" Club is an organization
of men who have received a letter in one of
the three major sports at Clarion. Its purpose
is threefold: to promote sportsmanship, to
create an interest in athletics among the men
of the college, and to supervise all athletic
activities.
A person is eligible for membership in the
Varsity "C" Club when he lias participated in
the number of games of football or basketball,
or earned the number of points in track, which
standards are set by the Men's Athletic
Council.
The Varsity "C" Club has sponsored many
shows and plays, and for the last two years
has s|)()iis()i'ed the Clarion County High School
basket liall tournament. The money obtained
in this way has gone to buy awards for those
men who have earned their letters. It has
been impossible for the club to raise enough
money in this way to pay for all the awards.
It has therefore been necessary for each
letterman to pay a part of the cost of his
award. A person who has become a member
of this organization pays dues to enter and is
then considered a life member of the club.
He is admitted to all athletic events of the
college free of charge.
The officers of the club are: president,
William Byers; vice-president, Joseph Kenny;
secretary, Charles Hetrick; treasurer, Donald
Hiwiller.
The Varsity "C" Club is one of the oldest
clubs on the campus and is recognized as an
active organization of the college. Since the
inception of the Student Cooperative Associa-
tion the athletic expenses previously born by
the Varsity "C" Club have been shared by
the whole student body.

INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS ATTRACT MANY
All intramural iiroijram is a jM-ofirain in-
stituted for the purpose of setting up a
definite form of reci'eational activity for the
■stutlents who do not participate in varsity
sports. For some time it has been the custom
at Clarion for each student to paj' an activity
fee of ten dollars per semester. A portion of
this has been allotted to the support of inter-
collegiate athletics which resolves largely into
two activities, football and baskettiall. As
Clarion is committed to a policy of educating
the whole man, an intramural program has
been introduced this year and has achieved
great success. The eilucation of the whole
man means that the education of the body is
as important as the education of the mind.
It means that in the educational policy
provided by Clarion here is desired a well-
rounded development of mind, body, and
character. The college is interested in build-
ing up sound health habits, hal)its that shoukl
be of iiiestimal)le value all through life. It
is also interested in jjreparing the student for
tlie wise use of leisure time by teaching him
how to play health-building and pleasurable
games that he will continue to enjoy long
after he has left college. A well rounded intra-
nuu'al program along with individualized in-
structions in physical education enables a pro-
gram of this type to accomplish a purpose of
this kind.
Briefly the objectives of an intramural
program are: recreation, social contacts,
group sports, health, and a permanent in-
terest in sports in which the develojiment of
an appreciation of sports takes place as the
individual becomes more proficient and greater
enjoyment in particii)ation ensues.
The activities which have been offered
were seasonal. They consisted of competition
in touch football, basketball, volleyball,
soccer, tennis, handball, horseshoes, track,
and nmshball. An intramural council made
up of students for the purpose of carrying on
all men's intramural sjiorts was organized.
The members of this council and also manag-
ers were James Ilubler, Wilbur Stewart,
Ivlwaid Jacobs, William Byers, Dwight
Snyder, Thomas Plyler, and Lorrain Maurer.
ICach council member selected his own
|)layers from all the boys in school. These
teams were grouped into two groups or leagues
called the Americans anci the National
Leagues. The teams were named from the
Major League baseball teams.
Soccer, instituted by the men for the fii'st
team, was the first sport on the intramural
program. It con.sisteil of three games held
between the freshmen and sophomores. The
sophomores started off with a bang, winning
the first game in a thrilling contest liy a score
of 3-2. The freshmen retaliated and succeeded
in winning the second game liy a narrow
margin. This resulted in a jilayoff with the
sophomores again taking the upper hand as
Dills, playing left center in the sophomore
forward line, received a long kick and at
short range deftly kicked it past the goal
line for the only goal of the game. This game
definiteh' proved the sophomore supremacy
in this particular sport.
A more extensive program was carried on
in volleyball, each team playing in a regular
series of scheduled games, which extended to
twenty-six before the champions were picked.
Each team played three games, and two
additional games were held to decide first
and second places. The Cubs won the
National League Pennant by defeating the
Pirates in two games, 15-12 and 16-14. The
Faculty became the winner of the American
League by defeating the Yankees, 16-14 and
15-12. This resulted in the final playoff for
the championship between the Faculty and
the Cubs. The Faculty defeated the Cubs,
automatically giving the latter second place,
while the Dotlgcrs contested for third place
and were successful. The relative scores of
the three who placed were: Faculty no,
Cubs 90, and the Dodgers 70.
The next major intramural sport on the
list was basketball. This sport proved to be
outstanding among the men and some very
fine teams, representing each league, put on
some good exhibitions of basketball. Again
a series of scheduled games, covering a period
of approximately two months, and consisting
of twenty six games, was held. The results
were as follows:
N.\TioNAL Le.\gue Won Lost
Cubs 4 o
Cardinals 3 2
Pirates 2 2
Dodgers o 5
.\mi:i{ic.\n League
Indians 6 o
Faculty 3 3
Tigers i 5
Yankees i 5
The Cubs succeeded in winning the pen-
nant in the National League and the Indians
in the American I^eague. In the final playoff
the Cubs emerged victorious, throwing the
Indians into second place and the ( 'ardinals
into third place.
Track, tennis, and mushball, completed
the men's intramural program for the school
term ending 1935-1936.

Many happy hours are spent
on the Tennis Court.
With the dedication of the new tennis courts on September 30,
1935, Clarion State Teachers College realized a six year old
dream.
When excavation work on the proposed swimming pool in
the Harvej' Gymnasium was begun in 1929, it was planned to
use the ground in leveling the hill above the gymnasium to build
tennis courts. The work was begun, but it was soon interrupted,
and efforts to complete either of these projects seemed of no
avail until last spring, when work was again begun on this
great addition to the athletic equipment of the college.
The space occupied bj' the courts is two hundred fifty-two
feet long and one hundred fourteen feet wide. It consists of a
layer of cinders four inches deep, of a concrete slab four inches
thick, and an asphalt top coat one half inch thick. It contains
six courts.
Last fall you could find, see, or hear players on the courts
from early morning until late at night. The high wire fence
proved helpful in keeping the balls inside the courts. It was
the most popular place on the campus.
A tennis tournament was held between the freshmen girls
and the sophomore girls. A series of matches was plaj-ed with a
member of each class participating. The winner was the girl
taking two out of three games; each individual winner scored a
point for her class. When the contests were completed, the in-
dividual scores were added, and the class having the highest
total score was winner of the tournament. All games were
refereed by some member of the Women's Athletic Council.
The lineup for the games was as follows : Alfarata McElhatten
vs. Evelyn Craig; Betty Smith vs. Anna Mary Fox; Bernice
Mahle vs. Edytha Homan; Laura Belle Hess vs. Martha Middle-
ton; Lettisia Ammerman vs. Marian Renn; Ruth Kline vs.
Maxine Moore, and Lois Terwilliger vs. Mary Belle Calhoun.
The winning sophomores were Bernice Mahle, Ruth Kline,
and Lois Terwilliger.
The winning freshmen were Evelyn Craig, Martha Middleton,
Marian Renn, and Anna Mary Fox. These results made the
freshmen winners over the sophomores with the score 4 to 3.

DISPLAY SPORTSMANSHIP
Miss Helen M. Barton, director of physical
education, is chiefly responsible for the fine
spirit of cooperation and good sportsmanship
that is displayed by her girls. She has coached
the women so successfully in hockey, soccer,
basketball, volleyball, and speedball that they
have exhibited great skill and ability in these
sports. Her guidance and administration have
at all times been controlling factors in main-
taining amicable athletic relations. Never
displaying bias or favoritism herself, Miss
Barton sets an admirable example for those
students with whom she comes 'n contact.
Miss Barton is a type of person who is very
specific in all matters. If she has something
to say, she says it without much a-do. Her
directions are very concise and clear. The
girls respect her for this and set in cheerfully
to do the things she bids. She is a person
who makes one feel that the long hard hours
spent in learning how to punt, dribble, block,
and pass, were not in vain. The girls will
long remember her quick, snappy stride and
her cheery "Hello".
Miss Barton has carried on an intramural
program several years. Through this pro-
gram she has brought out the fine sportsman-
ship qualities that were previously hidden in
some of her girls. Girls who at the first of
the season could not 'mix' with others, at the
close of it well knew the value of team work.
Girls were taught how to be good losers both
on the hockey field and in the classroom. They
have also found pleasure in the game itself
rather than in the rivalry among the contes-
tants of the game. Intramural sports is the
main outdoor recreation for the girls. These
girls who often play hockey and soccer on a
snow covered field represent the finest physical
specimens in the school.
Miss Barton is chiefly interested in speed-
ball. This outdoor game is a combination of
basketball, soccer, fieldball, and football. The
line-up is the same as soccer and hockey, with
eleven players on a team. The ball is played
both in the air and on the ground. The
Helen Barton,
Director of
Wojnen's Athletics.
game is trickey because it changes from hand
to foot work.
Miss Barton has become widely known
through this field. She is the National
Chairman of the Speedball Committee of
Women's Athletic section of the American
Physical Education Association. She has
written a section concerning Speedball in the
Spalding's Soccer and Speedball Guide for
Women 1935 and 1936. She also has the
editing for the '36 and '37 editions. In this
same guide she has written an article on
"Defensive Speedball". She has also written
an article entitled "History of Speedball for
Women" in the Journal of Health and Physical
Education September, 1935. Articles also
appeared in "The School and Society" 1935,
"Pennsylvania State Educational Journal",
"The Canadian National Bulletin of Physical
Education", "School Activities Magazine",
"The Coach", The "Scholastic Coach", and
"The Camping Magazine."
Last year Miss Barton coached her girls
in this sport. She then took twenty-two of
her best players to Pittsburgh, where they
put on a demonstration of the game. Here
the girls made many worthwhile social con-
tacts that proved valuable both for them and
the college at Clarion.

WOMEN'S ATHLETIC COUNCIL . . . .
The Women's Athletic Coum-il wa.s organ-
ized under the direction of Miss Helen Barton
in the fall of 1931. It was formed from the
women who had received letters during the
jirevious year.
This year the council was composed of
eleven members: Lettisia Ammerman, Kuth
Chitester, Milly Ensle, Laura Bell Hess,
^'irginia Kaufman, Ruth Kline, Gertrude
Phillips. Kuth Phillips. Betty Smith, Gerald-
ine Thorne, and Catherine Wilhelm. The
officers were: president, ^'irginia Kaufman;
vice-president, Catherine Wilhelm; and sec-
retary, Betty Smith.
The purpose of the council is to develop
interest in the athletic activities on the
campus, and to inculcate in the minds of the
women participating in athletics habits of
good spoi-tsmanship and wholesome living.
The council chooses a varsity t(>am for each
major sport. Eligibility for the varsity is
determined l)y these factors: attendance at
pi'actices, playing ability, and sportsmanship.
.\t the close of the year varsity letters are
awarded to the ten women having the highest
number of points. These points are granted
as follows: 100 points for each varsity, 50
points for each cla.ss team, and 25 points for
each squafl. To each council member who
participated in two sjjorts and coached one
team, a letter liearing one .star or more i.s
awarded. The number of stars signifies the
number of years of service on the council.
Clarion has graduated only two women, Tilmae
Gosetti and Betty Rhea, who served three
years on the council and received four em-
blems, the last one bearing three stars.
This j-ear the council directed the in-
tranuiral tournaments. The first, the tennis
tournament, was supervised by (iertruiie
Phillips. The hockey contest was directed by
\'irginia Kaufman and Betty Smith. Soccer
was in charge of Lettisia Ammerman and
Catherine Wilhelm. The basketball teams
were coached by Ruth Chitester, Ruth Kline,
and Gertrude Phillips. CJeraldine Thorne and
Laura Bell Hess prepared the teams for the
volley ball match. In addition to these
major sports ping pong instruction was given
during the year by Milly Ensle, after whicii
a ping pong tournament was sponsored.
Last year the Women's Athletic Council
took charge of a speedball demonstration that
was given at Pittsburgh in resjionse to an
invitation issued by the American Physical
Education Association. In addition to its
regular services the council cooperated with
the \'arsity "C" Club last year in entertaining
the boys and girls of various high schools at
a jilay day festival.

HOCKEY . . . .
Hockey was the first sport arranged on the
intramural program for girls. All classes were
well represented in practices, and enthusiasm
reached a new peak.
In a "seesaw" hockey contest staged be-
tween the Sophomores and the Freshmen girls,
the Sophomores came out on top, winning
2 out of the 3 games played.
The first game of the series was played on
Tuesday afternoon, October 29, at which the
Freshmen displayed their athletic ability by
taking the first victory of the season. They
barely "nosed out" the Sophomores, however,
by a 4-3 score. This game put fear into the
heart of every Sophomore girl, who knew by
this time that the Freshmen team was "no
easy mark". Brilliant dribbling and passing
were revealed by both teams.
The second game was played on Wednes-
day, October 30. This game was equally
close, but this time the Sophomores managed
to come out on top.
This last game was played on Thursday
afternoon, October 31. This game was the
most exciting intramural game that the school
ever witnessed. The score at the half was 0-0.
Finally the Sophomores proved too strong for
the Freshmen and defeated them with a final
score of 3-1. This ended the tournament in
favor of the Sophomores.
The Women's Athletic Council on Novem-
ber 5, chose the varsity hockey team. The
following women were selected as members:
Martha Middleton, Dorothy Fischer, Aida
Hanst, Alta Jones, Mary Chitester, Frances
Berkhouse, Betty Kanengeiser, Grace Wolbert
Florence Gathers, Mary Belle Rodgers, and
Feme Brooks.
SOCCER . . . .
The Freshmen won their only tournament
of the year by defeating the Sophomores in
a long, drawn out three game series. In the
first game, which was played on November 22,
the Freshmen proved the better team by
scoring 6 points as compared to their oppon-
ents 2. In the next game the Sophomores
turned the tables by shutting out the Fresh-
men with the score of 4-0.
Poor weather conditions kept the two
teams from playing until after the Thanks-
giving vacation. Both Fi'eshmen and Sopho-
mores waited anxiously for the fatal game
which would name the victor of the tournament.
Spectators were not safe to bet on either team,
it was reported, especially since each team
had scored 6 points on the other. Although
the weather was still unfit for soccer by Dec-
ember 4, it could no longer hold twenty-two
anxious girls who were ready to uphold their
teams. The game was played on a snow
covered athletic field. The teams used their
own ideas as to where the side lines and
penalty areas were located. Each girl did
her best in ploughing through the snow and
hunting for the soccer ball. It seemed that
the Freshmen proved to be better Eskimos
than the Sophomores because the final
whistle sounded on the score 4-2. This game
won the tournament for the lower classmen.
The Women's Athletic Council selected
for the soccer varsity: Frances A¥imer, Mary
Belle Calhoun, Lucille Rockey, Frances Berk-
house, Evelyn Craig, Alta Jones, Florence
Gathers, Dorothy Fischer, Aida Hanst, Edna
Flinchbaugh, and Feme Brooks.

BASKETBALL . . . .
The most exciting tournament between the
Freshmen and Sophomores was that played in
basket ball. Instead of the usual three game
tournament as in hockey and soccer, a five
series was played.
The first game was played on February 1 1 .
Both teams fought hard for victory. The
score was 15-15 in the last minute to play,
when Fulton was fouled by a sophomore
guard. The Sophomores' fears were realized
when tiie foul was made and the whistle
sounded the close of the game. The final
score was 16-15.
Victory was still in the hands of the Fresh-
nicMi when they again defeated the Sopho-
mores on February 12. The Sophomores tried
liard to stage a comeback in that game, but
the underclassmen proved too much for them.
Fulton and ^Yhitmore starred for the Fresh-
men, playing a brilliant offensive game. The
game ended with the score of 28-23.
The Freshmen were now confident that
t liey would win the five game tournament, but
the Sophomores thought differently. They
tightened down on their opponents and won
till- last three games, thus winning the tourna-
ment.
The third game was played on February
13. Both teams made Ijrilliant passes and
shots. The Sophomores were given a ray of
hope l)y defeating the Freshmen with the
score of 14-8.
The Sophomores also won the next game,
which was played on Februarj^ 26. This was
alst) a close match, and both teams put forth
every ounce of effort they had, the Freshmen
trying to close the tournament and the
Sojjhomores trying to keep it open by winning
this game. If the Freshmen had won, the
tournament would have been over, but the
Sophomores proved victorious and won with
the score of i i-io.
Now each team had two games to its
credit, the Freshmen winning the first two
games and the Sophomores the next two.
Both teams waited anxiously for the final
game. Spectators crowded the gymnasium
to witness this decisive fray.
Each team played exceptionally well, dis-
playing good offensive and defensive work.
The dribbles, juggles, and passes that they
used showed hard, steady, practice. Although
the Freshmen played a fine game, the Sopho-
mores were able to keep up their winning
streak l)y defeating them with the score of
14-12.
On February 28 the Women's Athletic
Council met to select the basket ball varsity.
The varsity chosen consisted of the following:
Eleanore Fulton, Mary Belle Calhoun, Mary
Chitester, Evelyn Craig, Edna Flinchbaugh,
and Lois Terwilliger.
C AMPU S
LIFE....
FROM REGISTRATION
"Is this Becht Hall?" (lucried a tiiniil, bewildered fre.shinan,
September 13, 1932.
"Oh, how do you do, Miss Sims?" Yes, I'm Miss Brown.
Am I to live in this room?" Reassured, she hurried to include
herself in the group of sulnlucd ficshies who were on their way
to register in Founders Hall.
"Welcome to our school, Mary." It was Dr. Riemer extend-
ing a greeting to an already forlorn countenance as he handed
her two cards upon which she nervously tried to write the
required information. Thus Mary with 144 others started on
the cursus honorum of college life.
TO COMMENCEMENT
Ah, those first few clays! The letters that
went home describing the new roommate, the
lono; assignments, the longings for home were
ones of desolation or pretended hilarity. But
remendier the first news from home? And
the senior whose theme song was "Home
Sweet Home?"
We made our debut the night of the
Freshman Reception. After our "big sisters"
hurried us down the receiving line, we laughed
at our garbled names and managed to enjoy
the evening.
Then the dip in cold water! The freshmen
initiation! With Bob Heverly, Emil Rosenz-
weig, and Leo Brown on the tribunal we
gladly carried our books in pillow slips, ate
rolled oats with forks, tap danced for "Rosy,"
and scrubbed the bathroom floor with a tooth
brush.
Our first Lyceum was an experience for us.
We found it was fun to be fooled by "Magi,
the Magician". Following this was the
Faculty Carnival. Bedecked in ten cent
jewelry and tennis shoes we forgot our
English Activities assignments while watching
Mr. Renn, the ringmaster, thrilling to "Wild
Nell's Escapade", playing "Beano", and
attending the Follies of 1933. Pink lemonade.
Dr. Wilkinson's (M.D.) colorful pills, and
Mrs. Riemer's family of fifteen all added to
the boisterous merriment of the evening.
The Chicago Concert Company afl'orded
us our next enjoyable evening. We encored
the reading "Billy who Lisped."
We had our field lessons in astronomy, too.
Dr. Peirce later ascribed our test failures to
the fact that we were looking in the wrong
direction for Orion.
The frat dance, play day, spring concert
and "Forty-Second Street" that soon followed
helped us to forget the final examinations,
the bank holiday and those unfinished history
term papers.
As sophomores do, we acquired that
superior feeling during the summer and vented
it on the incoming frosh. The first real shock
to our pride was the "dummy" hoisted on
the chapel by the meddlesome juniors labelled,
"Dumb Sophomores". The application of a
few paddles and force soon appeased our
injured dignity and restored our equanimity.
Remember those informative talks by
Julian Bryant on Russia? He created such a
sensation on the campus that all of the girls
planned to go to Russia as soon as they
received their first pay checks.
This same month we attended with pleas-
ure the splendid illustrated talk and aerial
slides of the United States presented by Mr.
Winfield Markham. The slides of the lovely
magnolia gardens were a special delight.
During the spring of that year, the walk
to the cemetary was a most popular one. How
many of the epitaphs, did you read, Haley?
The pageant commemorating the founding
of the public school system of Pennsylvania
under the able direction of Miss Bertha Nair,
a successful Parents' Day, and the sorority
banquet concluded this year's activities.
Juniors! Upperclassmen, and yet not too
dignified to enjoy a little flirtation with the
new freshmen nor a slight infraction of a
few dormitory "light" regulations.
The ballet dancer, Marmien, entertained
the college assembly. Later the imitations
of her skill by Alpha Gamma Phi were credit-
able. That same year H. C. Englebrecht, the
author of "Merchants of Death" addressed
us in chapel. The Siberian Singers won our
favor, too. The "Mikado", directed by Miss
Gladys Rich, was the last all-college feature
of our junior year.
Our last year! Assuming a responsible,
serious, and industrious mien we put our
previous years' learning into practice as
student teachers in the junior high school.
Hectographing and the writing of units of
work occupied so much of our time that we
never became acquainted with all the incom-
ing freshmen. Then, too, we were objects of
wonderment to them — four years! — ah!
Our diary says that October 16 was the
first day we taught. Tolerant and under-
standing critic teachers only smiled at our
copious notes, fragmentary sentences, and
jumping hearts. Later Miss Runyan, for
whom we all taught, surprised her student
teachers with a birthday treat.
The Lyceum program included these num-
bers: Anna Karenina, Dr. Breasted in "The
Human Adventure", the Boston Sinfonietta,
"Tale of Two Cities," Siberian Singers, and
"The Life of Louis Pasteur".
At the beginning of our last semester we
were confronted with long Sequelle assign-
ments stated "385 words, no more, no less."
We even extracted one from Ross Rodgers.
But we can overlook his antipathy towards
writing for college publications when we recall
his remarkable musical and dramatic abilities.
In the excitement of writing of applica-
tions, planting of class ivy, bidding fond and
tearful farewells, donning our caps and gowns,
we come all too soon to graduation and
separation. With one backward glance we
drop below the horizon, adrift again with an
unknown harbor awaiting each ventursome
voyager.

PROGRESS . .
The creation-- the building of an industry, is com-
paratively easy during times of prosperity. But
when a business advances steadily during the period
when the economic cycle has touched bottom, it
indicates "Character" — stability, creative thought,
high standards of business ethics, as well as out-
standing examples of its work.
In the past decade the Gray Printing Company has
three times enlarged its plant and printing facilities.
Two new printing presses have been added withm
the past year. Today its equipment is equal to that
of the finest printing establishments anywhere; its
personnel has been trained to compose a smooth
running organization, and its work is a product de-
rived from the best in typography, workmanship
and equipment.
We take pride in our advance in our plant, and in
our employees, who are united for a single purpose —
to do only the best in printing.
