McNerney became president of Edin­ boro State College in Sep­ tember, 1966. His formal inauguration, honoring him as Edinboro's thirteenth president, followed on April 22, 1967. The beginnings of the college were laid in 1857, over one hundred years ago, when a band of ScotchIrish farmers grouped together and founded a private normal school at Edinboro by popular subscription to train teachers. In 1861 it was chartered by the Com­ monwealth as Pennsylvania's second Normal School and developed and grew through service to the Commonwealth. A great forward stride was taken in 1914, when the Commonwealth purchased Edinboro Normal School. In 1926, alerted to the need for better educated teachers for its schools, Pennsylvania made Edinboro a Teachers College offering a four-year curriculum leading to de­ grees of Bachelor of Science in Secondary, Elementary, and Art Education, and Library Science. Dr. McNerney came to Edinboro from the Univer­ sity of Akron, where he was Dean of the College of Edu­ cation and was highly in­ strumental in the develop­ ment of numerous educaDr. Chester T. McNerney cational innovations. He was cited as the motivating force behind the University of Akron Classrooms Around the World, and recognized for his scholarly studies of comparative education abroad. j | In 1960 the name of the college was changed to Edinboro State College. Beginning in September of 1957, the college was empowered to grant degrees of Master of Education in Elementary Education. In September 1961, graduate study in secondary education was added to the graduate program. In 1962 the liberal arts degree program was begun. Students may prepare for various vocations as an arts and science major in the Humanities, Social Sciences or Natural Sciences and may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree. The control of the College is vested in the Board of Trustees, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board of Trustees in turn elects the President of the College who is re­ sponsible for its administration. The State Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction is an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees. The College is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the American Medical Association. In addition, its curriculums are registered by the New York State Department of Education. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty and informal student counseling and guidance. The faculty is keenly aware of profes­ sional interests and self growth. High qualitative and quantitative standards distinguish the graduates of this college. The preparation of better educated citizens has been an Edinboro tradition for over a century. -4- Dr. McNerney's primary areas of interest deal with the improvement of the curriculum, the program for educational supervision and administration, and the improvement of inter-personal relationships among the various members of working groups. His concern in this area has led to his writing of several books, lecturing and conducting various workshops. j I | j I He is a man dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal involvement in the religious and civic affairs of one's community, and an educator who visibly believes in and practices total individual pro­ fessional commitment. j . EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational program of Edinboro State Col­ lege. The program is so conducted as to assure whole­ some use of leisure time, a healthy focal point for the experience and the expression of group spirit, and a laboratory experience for prospective coaches. Edinboro's athletic program includes intercollegiate competition in football, basketball, wrestling, golf, track, tennis, baseball, soccer and cross country. The finest of facilities are readily being made available to accommodate these sports. | The most recent addition to Edinboro's athletic plant is Sox Harrison Stadium and Athletic Field. The stadium provides seating for 4,000 persons for football contests f [ -5- I along with complete track facilities. Currently a baseball diamond of major league specifications is being con­ structed near the stadium. The field will cover six acres with a selected clay base infield and specially seeded playing area. Scheduled for construction in the near future is a new fieldhouse. The structure will include an inter­ collegiate basketball court, three intramural basketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, wrestling and handball rooms, a steam room, a corrective gym, medi­ cal suite, and rifle range. Seating capacity of the sports arena will be approximately 4,500 with provisions for later expansion to 7,000 provided. The continuing growth of Edinboro's athletic pro­ gram is rapidly establishing the College as a respected collegiate competitor. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Mr. Allan W. Hall of Akron University was re­ cently appointed to the newly created post of full­ time Director of Athletics at the College. Hall, a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, has served as Assistant Di­ rector of Athletics at Akron University for the past 2 years. While at Akron, Hall was quite active in the Univer­ Al Hall sity's athletic program.

His 1963 squad held the distinction of being runnerup to national champion Emporia State in the NCAA meet. Along with his cross country duties he also served as assistant track coach at A. U. for 12 years. Hall's keen interest in all phases of sports is reflected by his past accomplishments in the field of athletics. In 1962 he was selected Meet Director of the National AAU Swimming Championships. He was highly instru­ mental in making Akron University the site of the Mid­ east Regional NCAA Basketball Tournaments in 1964, 1965, and 1966.

Wes-o-LAW-ski 20- - 1968 PRE-SEASON OUTLOOK "Cautious Optimism” Just how well the 1968 edition of Highlander grid hopefuls will perform is a big question mark. For the first time in the past two years the Scots will have ex­ perienced personnel in key positions both offensively and defensively. What remains to be seen is how well this team will jell as a working unit. The offensive backs are quick and strong. The triple threat in the backfield consists of 5'9”, 195-pound senior halfback John Mikovich, 5'10”, 200-pound junior halfback "Smokey" Santillo, and 5'11", 205pound junior full back John Guerrasio. All three are varsity lettermen. Mikovich has been the Scots' top ground gainer for three years while Santillo adds both power and speed. Guerrasio can be depended upon in short yardage situations. The quarterbacking chores are up for grabs among a pair of juniors, 5'11", 180-pound Tom Mackey and 5'11", 170-pound Chico Rollick, and a pair of sophs, 5'11", 170-pound Barry Masterson and 5'11", 168pound Gary Roth. Rollick handled the helm last season for the Scots while Roth starred as the freshman pilot. Mackey has been out with an injured knee for a year, but is rated as a top quarterback. Masterson looked sharp in spring drills. A crop of tested defensive linemen will make the Highlanders strong up the middle and the secondary will also receive a much needed shot in the arm with the addition of battle-tested personnel. Top veteran linemen include 6'3", 233-pound offensive tackle, John Ballard and 6'2", 230-pound de­ fensive tackle, Dave Brandell along with 5'11", 210pound defensive end, Al Barbati, and 6'1", 216-pound tight end, Dan Bissontz. Battle-tested returnees in the secondary are 6'0", 218-pound junior linebacker Jim Jaruszewicz and 5'9", 160-pound safety, Joe Bufalino. A crop of excellent sophomores are expected to play a key role here along with the other veteran performers. On the plus side of the offense is Dan Bissontz, a 6'1", 216-pound first team RSCAC tackle last year, who has been switched to tight-end. Bissontz was quite impressive at his new "home" in the spring game. Another pleasing demonstration in the spring contest was the accurate "toe" of Tom Rockwell, a 5'11", 200pound sophomore place kicker, who clicked on 6 of 7 extra point attempts. Indeed, the Fighting Scots grid fans can look for­ ward to the '68 campaign with "cautious optimism." -21 - 1967 IN REVIEW 1967 SEASON RESULTS Edinboro................................. 12 Edinboro................................. 6 Edinboro................................. 7 Edinboro................................. 0 Cheyney.................................

Leading the Tribe offensively are 6'1", 175pound quarterback Bill Dukett. Second Team AllConference fullback, 5'8”, 170-pound John Pitzer, the Warriors' leading ground gainer in '67, and 6'2", 200pound offensive end Ed Csencsits. Csencsits broke the East Stroudsburg single pass reception mark with 38 catches for 620 yards and 4 touchdowns. Also returning at the inside linebacker slot to bolster the defensive unit is First Team PSCAC selection 5'11", 208-pound Gary Schoenberger. ESSC's defensive secondary allowed only 3 touchdowns last season and the top performers from that backfield are returning. The Polar Bears lost 14 lettermen, yet are returning 14 veteran letter winners. Northern will be younger this year but will have more speed and more size than last season. Top prospects include 5'11", 190-pound half­ back Damon Infaivi, 6'0", 200-pound end Dave Walker, 5'10", 207-pound tackle Frank Garofalo, and 217-pound senior guard. Jack Ohie. Injuries to top players led to a 3-6 season last year, but the Bears still played good defensive ball. This will be the first meeting of the two colleges in their football histories. The Scots jumped off to a 6-0 lead against the Warriors last year on John Mikovich's 90-yard return of the opening kickoff, but the Tribe bounced back to scalp the Highlanders 33-6.

However, the Rockets face a strong schedule opening up with powerhouses Westminster and Waynesburg. Among the top offensive candidates for the quarterbacking chores are 6'4", 185-pound John Ross and 6'0", 178-pound Steve Konick. Konick gained over 500 yards in the Rocket backfield last year as a tailback. Another key prospect is 6'0", 205-pound Jay Wagner, converted from end to tailback. He is a bull-like runner and gives Slippery Rock something which was missing all last season, the big back who can pick up short yardage in key situtations. A successful season hinges on what type of a co­ hesive unit the group of young returnees can form along with some key sophs. LAST YEAR'S GAME ESC....................... ..................

The squad has a sound nucleus of 24 lettermen returning from a team which won eight while losing only one and can also boast of several promising newcomers. Both of last season's first team offensive ends have graduated, but their places will be taken by converted wingback, 5'7", 175-pound senior Dick Draganac at wide end, and converted fullback, 6'0”, 210-pound junior Joe Kovalchick at tight end. The starting backfield has two new faces, 6'1 ”, 200pound junior Dave Smith, a transfer from Waynesburg College, at wingback and 5'10”, 186-pound junior Tom McCracken at fullback. They will join returning quarter­ back 6'0”, 185-pound junior Wally Blucas and tailback 5'10”, 185-pound junior Dan Cox, last year's leading ground gainer.

Clarion should prove tough again with 24 returning lettermen. The offense will face some problems this year, but the nucleus of a strong defensive unit will return. Defensive standouts include 6'0", 215-pound senior tackle. Bob Gevaudan, 6'1", 220-pound senior tackle, Jim Jones and 6'0", 175pound linebacker. Art Tragesser. Top returnee on offense is 6'0”, 165-pound senior wingback Jim Becker. -28- Coach Al Jacks has compiled an impressive 32-11 -2 record the past 5 years at Clarion and the Eagles will fight hard to keep him on the winning side.

The defensive unit is bolstered by a fine pair of junior linebackers in 6'0", 190-pound Ron Beshore and 6'0", 195-pound Bill Dreibelbis. The Bald Eagles have 15 returning lettermen to help Head Coach Hubert Jack add to his 100 grid victories. nation in college division scoring while his 75-yard jaunt from scrimmage against Clarion and 97-yard kickoff return against California also ranked him among the leaders. The first team PSCAC winner gained 695 yards in 153 tries for a 4.5 average. Orndorff, a 6'2", 208-pound halfback, was the second leading rusher with 412 yards and grabbed 18 passes for 208 yards.
