Al Hall ..................Paul Newman THE COLLEGE'S HISTORY 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. 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. 2- - PRESIDENT Dr. ChesterT. 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. 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 Dr. Chester T. McNerney ment of numerous educacational 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. 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. 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. 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, and baseball. 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 -3- 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 sity's athletic program. He piloted Akron's cross coun­ try teams for 12 years and guided his harriers to three Ohio Conferences and three All-Ohio championships. 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. Al Hall 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. Hall is also credited with the inception of the Junior Olympics program in the city of Akron. He served as the University's Sports Information Director during 1958 and 1959. -4- BASEBALL COACH Coach Jim Christopher is experiencing his second year as head baseball coach of Edinboro State College. In addition, the ESC diamond pilot functions as freshman basketball coach, and is a physical education instructor at the College. Before joining the coaching staff at Edinboro, Christopher served as as­ sistant baseball and basket­ Jim Christopher ball coach at Carthage Col­ lege, his collegiate alma mater, in Kenosha, Wis., for two years. He also spent a year at Henderson State Col­ lege in Arkansas where he earned his M.S. degree. Christopher also served as head baseball and basket­ ball coach of Carthage High School during his coaching career. Following his appointment at Carthage High, he ventured to Zion-Benton High School for a two-year assignment as head baseball and assistant basketball mentor. He and his wife, Marianne, reside in Edinboro. .500 SEASON POSTED BY '67 SCOTS Inheriting 16 veteran competitors from the 1966 baseball squad. Coach Jim Christopher began his first season as head Highlander baseball mentor by restruc­ turing the team around this solid nucleus. Other ESC wins were registered against California 4-1, Slippery Rock 3-2, Gannon 3-0, and a sweeping 10-0 and 5-2 double-header win over Alliance. Bill Balizet, who finished the season with a sparkling 0.67 earned run average, and Rod Herron, a sophomore right-handed hurler from Jackson Center, were elected the Most Valuable Pitchers of the team. Wayne Blair, a sophomore from Pitcairn, was elected the Most Valuable Player. John Ferraro, senior letterman from Sharpsburg, served as squad captain. The Highlanders played all of their "home" games at Alliance College. CLAN BOASTS VETS AT ALL POSITIONS In baseball's short two-year duration at Edinboro the Scots have posted neither a winning nor a losing season. The 1966 squad split in season play, 3-3, while the '67 Highlander diamond men registered a 6—6 slate. Coach Jim Christopher greets a veteran team this year that could put the Scots on the winning side of the ledger for the first time. The Highlanders will start an experienced infield that has lettermen at every position. Returnees include Rich Stolar at first, Wayne Bair (last year's MVP) at second, Emil Brenkus on third, and Jim Colangelo at shortstop. Russ Stoneman, co-captain, is expected to handle most of the back-stop chores. Co-captain, Tom Zelesnik, will lead the outfielders along with juniors Rich Stypula and Bill Novak. Coach Christopher feels his mound crew is much stronger this season but still inexperienced. Leading the group of hurlers is junior letterman Rod Herron. Other promising firemen include righthanders Joe Meako and Larry Parsing as well as southpaws Jim Sullivan and Joe Espey. Although adverse weather conditions hampered the team's practice time during most of the season, the Highlander diamond men posted a respectable 6-6 overall record. Until the completion of their new field, the Scots will play their "home" games at Alliance College. Edinboro initiated the 1967 season by splitting a double-header with Youngstown University; Bill Balizet, senior southpaw from Meadville, pitched a masterful one-hitter only to suffer a 2-1 setback on an unearned run in the ninth inning. In the second game, the High­ lander hitting strength powered a 4-2 victory. Name & Hometown 6- - 1968 BASEBALL ROSTER Pos. *Wayne Bair................ . 2B Pitcairn, Pa.

McDonald was appointed golf coach in 1962. In addi­ tion to his linkster duties, he functions as the head High­ lander basketball coach. His coaching abilities are attested to by his past accomplishments as a bas­ ketball mentor. Since his appointment as head coach Jim McDonald in 1962, Jim McDonald has guided Edinboro State Col­ lege to three Western Division PSCAC Basketball Championship titles and the NAIA District 18 Cham­ pionship Playoff in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1966 McDonald was selected by the coaches of the Eastern Seaboard States to be the Area 8 Basketball Coach of the Year and was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the NAIA'S Coach of the Year poll for his outstanding accomplishments in the coaching profession. Prior to accepting his current position at Edinboro in 1961, McDonald served as assistant basketball coach at Harborcreek High School in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in Bridgeport, West Virginia. 1967 GOLF IN REVIEW Despite the return of a solid nucleus of lettermen and three-year award winner, Pete Chulack, the Edin­ boro linksters slipped to a 2-5 mark in season action. The Highlander golfers met stiff opposition in con­ ference play, but hopes are bolstered by the return of Jon Frobouck from Glassport and Jay Barto from Shaler. The team lost four-year letter winner, Pete Chulack, and veteran Dick Gerhart. Randy Frobouck, a senior from Glassport, will be this year's pacesetter on the courses. Frobouck, a twoyear letter winner, was second man on last year's team. Jay Barto, a junior from Glenshaw, will be fighting for the number two position. Barto earned his first varsity letter as a sophomore last year. Another junior, Mike Carrig from Corry, offers depth and experience to the squad of Scot hopefuls. A good sophomore crew, who as freshmen last year were ineligible for varsity competition because of PSCAC rules, will be led by Al Jackson from Wilmerding. Pa. Jackson was a two-year letterman at Westinghouse Memorial High School while holding down the number one position. Among the sophomore candi­ dates are: Robert Debreczeni from Penn Hills High School; Ed Emswiller, a West Mifflin North product and a three-year letter winner; three-year letterman Fred Susi from Oil City; Robert Stewart from Butler; and John Swoap from North East High School The Highlanders will play all of their home matches at Culbertson Hills Country Club. The Scots open their 1968 season in a triangular match with Clarion and Indiana at Clarion on April 17. 1968 GOLF ROSTER Name Jay Barto Mike Carrig Bob Debreczeni Ed Emswiller Jon Frobouck Al Jackson Bob Stewart Fred Susi John Swoap Hgt. 5'6" 6'2" 6'2" 6'3" 5'10" 6'0" 6'1" 5'8" 5'9" Wgt.

WOMEN'S TENNIS Included in Edinboro's intercollegiate program for women is spring tennis. In 1967 Edinboro State College women began competing with area colleges in volley­ ball, basketball and tennis. The women netters compete in both spring and fall tennis. Under the direction of Miss Ada Gustaveson, the interest in women's tennis has grown rapidly. The turn out this year has tripled the response from last season.

Mariotti began tennis coaching duties in March, 1964. After graduating from West Liberty College, Mr. Mariotti taught and coached for fifteen years on the high school staff of the Allegheny Valley Joint Schools in Springdale, Pennsylvania. Hanio "Hank" Mariotti During his time there, he served as head baseball coach, assistant football coach and head trainer. Mr. Mariotti joined the Edinboro State College faculty in September of 1962. From 1962-1966 he has served as assistant football coach, trainer, tennis coach, intramural director, acting director of athletics and teacher of health education via closed circuit educa­ tional television. Under Mr. Mariotti's past guidance, as athletic director, freshmen schedules in track, tennis and wrestling have been incorporated in the total athletic program. The addition of baseball as a collegiate sport at Edinboro became a reality through his efforts. '67 NETTERS REBUILD The 1967 Edinboro State netmen suffered a dis­ appointing season on the courts by dropping six of eight scheduled matches. The Scots were soundly defeated by arch-rivals Gannon and California. The Edinboro racket men dropped close contests to Slippery Rock (5-4, 6-3) and Indiana University of Pa. (5-4) in the "rebuilding” year. The 1967 Highlander squad was hard hit by gradu­ ation which took its toll of a strong '66 club that posted six wins and three losses in varsity competition. Leading the squad was Sandy Smith, senior captain from Pittsburgh, Tom Moore, a junior from Erie, and Don Braden, a junior from Verona. -14- 1967 TENNIS RESULTS Edinboro........... .........

Leading the field of veteran performers are twoyear letter winners Tom Moore, a senior from McDowell High School in Erie, and Tom Smith, a junior from Strong Vincent High School also in Erie. Moore posted a 7-2 singles record in competition last year on the courts and has been selected as captain of the Scots' 1968 tennis team. Other returning lettermen include Mike McMunn (Murrysville), Bob Campedel (Clairton), George Fordyce (Greenville), and Dave McClatchey (Pittsburgh). All four returnees have registered one varsity letter. Making a strong bid for a starting spot on the var­ sity squad is Ted Robison, a 5'7” sophomore from Oil City. Last year Robison held the number one position on the freshman team. At Oil City High School he was District 10 tennis champion and was a quarter-finalist in the state championship playoffs. Frank Bova (Erie), second man on last year's frosh squad, is also putting his bid in for a starting assignment. Other sophomore prospects include Joe McNaul (Clear­ field) and Don Haas (Titusville). 1968 TENNIS ROSTER Name Class Frank Bova So. *Bob Campedel Jr. *George Fordyce Sr. Don Haas So. *Dave McClatchey Sr. *Mike McMunn Sr. Joe McNaul So. *Tom Moore Sr. Ted Robison So. *Tom Smith Jr. *Lettermen.

Its member­ ship originally consisted of the 14 state colleges: Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Strouds­ burg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mans­ field, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, and West Chester. In 1966 Indiana no longer was eligible for conference laurels as it acquired university status. The conference is divided into a Western Division and an Eastern Division. Members of the Eastern Di­ vision include Bloomsburg, Cheyney, East Stroudsburg, Kutztown, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, and West Chester, while Edinboro, California, Clarion, Lock Haven, and Slippery Rock comprise the Western Divi­ sion. In basketball, the conference champions of both leagues face each other at the end of the season to determine the PSCAC championship. All 13 state colleges that compete in the PSCAC belong to the NAIA, while many are also NCAA members. T TRACK COACH Dave O'Dessa is com­ mencing his second season as head coach of the High­ lander cindermen. Coach O'Dessa also serves as as­ sistant football coach at Edinboro, head resident of Rose Hall and assistant to the Dean of Men. it Dave O'Dessa Following his graduation from Shaler High School, O'Dessa enrolled as an undergraduate at Edinboro State College in 1957 and completed his college edu­ cation in 1961, at which time he received his B S. degree. During his athletic career at his college alma mater, O'Dessa competed on the varsity football and track teams. As a Highlander thinclad, O'Dessa earned four varsity "E's" as a result of his outstanding athletic ability. During his collegiate athletic career at Edinboro, he was rated the number one man in the shot put and discus events for four years. He was the recipient of the Sixth Annual Sox Harrison Outstanding Athlete Award in 1961. Following his graduation from ESC, O'Dessa was named as an assistant football coach for the Scots, but in January of 1962 he began a two year term of service with the U. S. Army in Germany. Coach O'Dessa returned to Edinboro in 1964 to serve as assistant football mentor and in 1966 was named head track coach. EIGHT RECORDS FALL IN '67 Highlighting the 1967 Highlander track season was the establishment of four ESC track records during a dual meet with Indiana University of Pa. at Sox Harrison Stadium by Darryl Meachem and Ron Wiser. Meachem, a senior from Aliquippa, set two Edin­ boro records by soaring 6'6" in the high jump event and leaping 46'4" in the triple jump contest. Wiser, a junior from Sligo, reset two Highlander track marks by running the mile in 4:19 and pole vaulting 12'3". Although Edinboro compiled 11 of 17 first places in the meet, Indiana squeaked to a 76-69 win. In other dual meet matches, the Highlanders were defeated by Grove City, 91-54, and Clarion, 77-68, as a result of a lack of scoring depth by the ECS tracksters. -18- During the Pennsylvania State College Athletic Con­ ference Track Meet held at Shippensburg State College, the Highlanders placed sixth with a 38-point total. Meachem scored 32 points by copping first place honors in the broad jump and triple jump, a third place in the high jump and second place honors in the high hurdles. Hess tallied the remaining six points by placing fourth and fifth in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, respectively. 1967 TRACK RESULTS ESC............. ........... 57 Grove City...........

This season should be marked by many out­ standing individual performances, but the lack of valuable second and third place finishes could hurt the Scots in the scoring department. The Highlanders should show exceptional strength in the sprints and distances this year. Letterman Ron Hess, who holds the Edinboro school record of 9.9 in the 100 yard dash, and Ron Wiser, Edinboro record holder in the mile (4:19) and the pole vault, will lead the cindermen. Hess has a 9.7 100 to his credit in high school. Veterans returning in field events include George Cincala, Ron Jones, Ron Palyo, and Lynn Campbell in the shot; "Duke" Bankhead and Bill Trypus in the discus; Mike Bartfaivi and Dennis Como in the high jump; and John Gorman in the broad jump.
