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.

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.

now  only  seventeen  members  to  carry  on 
senior  activities  this  fall. 

riie  s()[)hiiinore  class,  consisting  of  gratl-

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. 

.\ctual  teaching  experience  is  secured  by 
the  soi)homore   and   senior    grailuates    under

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.

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.

in  the  Thaddeus  Stevens  Training  School. 
Here  llicy  observe  and  b'ach  under  the  diicct 
Mipcr\isi(in  of  tlic  critic  teachers.

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-

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.

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

December   11,  formal  inititation  rites  closed 
the  "harrassing"  period. 

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  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. 


FRIENDLY    GROUPS

Entrance  To  Founders  Hall 


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

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

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 
the  annual  spring  concert.  The  numbers 
played  on  this  program  were:  "The  Bohemian 
Girl  Selections"  by  Balfe.  "Londonderry 
Air"  an  Irish  Folk  Tune,  and  "Tales  of  the 
Vienna  Woods"  by  Strauss.  They  also  ac- 
companied the  combined  glee  clubs  and  the 
final  numbers  on  the  program,  "Calm  as  the 
Night"  by  Bohm.

ensemble,  has  been  organized  on|the  campus 
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

good  lines,  and  ilialogue  and  action  were 
creditably  handled  by  the  following  cast: 
Mrs.  Dermott,  Mary  Helen  Klepfer;  Oliver, 
William  Kissell;  Evangeline,  Marian  Renn; 
Sylvia,  Dorothy  Haley;  Bobbie,  William

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  cast  of  characters  follows:  La  Sera, 
James  Call;  the  chauffeur,  Walter  Haskell; 
Roberts,  Willard  Miller;  Mrs.  Roberts,  Anna

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 
was  Alice  Jolley;  the  stage  managers,  Dean 
McKinney  and  Gerald  Stahlman;  and  the 
property  manager,  Marian  Renn.

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.

Sterrett,  Jones  A. 


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.

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

through  the  class  of  graduating  sophomores. 
This  list  will  include  Mike  Bedzyk,  the  most 
outstanding  individual  star  on  the  team,  Doc 
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.

WOMEN    ATHLETES

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

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.

DEPRESSION'S 
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.
