CHAPEL AND GYMNASIUM THE CLASS OF 1909 RESPECTFULLY DEDICATES THIS VOLUME TO J. GEORGE BECHT, M. S., A. M., Sc. D., OUR WORTHY PRINCIPAL and BENEFACTOR Dr. J. George Becht, Principal of the Clarion State Nor- mal School, was born in Montoursville, Pa. He received his early education in the borough schools of that place and at the Lycoming County Normal School. He graduated from Lafay- ette College in 1890, and he has taken graduate work in Har- vard and Columbia universities. For more than twenty-five years, Dr. Becht has been close- ly identified with educational work. At the age of fifteen he began his teaching career in the rural schools of Lycoming County. After leaving college he was made assistant principal of the Lycoming County Normal School and the following year he was made its principal. Under his leadership the school increased in attendance, influence and effectiveness. In 1893 he was unanimously elected County Superinten- dent of the Lycoming County Schools. He was reelected for three succeeding terms, being the only one in the educational history of that eounf v to be honored with a fourth term. As a superintendent, his work was of the highest character, consci- entious, inspiring and most able, and under his regime the schools of the county made commendable advancement- Dr. Becht did not sacrifice scholarly tastes and studious habits to the routine work of the superintendency. He was alert and progressive and kept in touch with the best educa- tional thought of the day. He was recognized as one of the foremost superintendents in the State. In 190.3 he resigned the superintendency to become the head of the Department of Psychology and Pedagogy at the West Chester Normal School. He is a good teacher in the best acceptation of the word. He is tactful, forceful and resource- ful, and his work in the school room early demonstrated that he belonged to the noble few born to teach. His strong per- sonality and scholarly tastes splendidly fit him for the class room. After teaching in the West Chester Normal School for one year. Dr. Becht was unanimously elected to the principalship of the Clarion State Normal School. This position he now ably and acceptably fills. Dr. Becht ' s services are constantly in demand for insti- tute work. He is a helpful, enthusiastic, and practical speak- er, and his admirable personal qualities especially fit him for this line of work. Teachers recognize in him a friend — a teach- er talking to teachers — and they are never disappointed in the message of hope and inspiration which he brings them. As a citizen he takes a keen interest along all lines of civic progress. He is a student of men as well as of books and his Innate courtesy and fine sympathy win for him friends wherever he goes. He takes an active interest in the Christian Association work of the school, and he is closely identified with the church work of the town- The host of students — those who come to finish the course and those who come for a single spring term only — all yield to his superior leadership, and give due honor to his worth. The qualities, the characteristics of a man, those emana- tions which proclaim the true, generous soul, free from all nar- rowness and pedantry, are recognized at once in Dr. Becht, proclaiming him a most pleasing and inspiring personality. In the words of Hamlet, Take him for all and all, he is a man. Editorial Kind readers, for the first time tlie Senior Class of tlie Clarion State Normal brings for the consideration of the Alumni and friends of the School, the Sequelle. Within these pages you will find little that is classical and nothing that is origin- al. Our aim has been to give you a volume written in very expressive, but by no means elegant, language of the average student, which would give you a record of our class, and perhaps some insight into the life of the school, of which we form a part. In the preparation of this work there are many to whom thanks are due. The Alumni and Faculty have rendered no little assistance. Without the aid of liberal advertisers the financial part of the work would have failed. United class ef- fort was stronger here than in any other undertaking. If the book proves a success the credit is due to a class as a whole and not to a few individuals, even though there was a distinct editorial staff. Trusting the Sequelle will be received in the proper spirit, we send it forth. Editor-in-Ohief. Athletic Editor, William Dotteeeer, John Baxter. Frances Davis, Bessie M. Dbiscoll, Perry A. Beck.

On September 10, 1005, a band of Pilgrims landed in the Principal ' s office at the Clarion State Normal School to take up the duties of a new school life. Some came with the determination to continue the work for three years and some expecting to remain but one year. On the day that the class organized as the Junior Class of 1906, William Mayes was elected President, Rena Pottorf Treasurer, Mabel Love Vice-President, and Grace Knapp, Sec- retary. Later owing to Mr. Mayes having to leave school, Howard Farwell was elected as the President. The work of the Junior year passed along very smooth- ly. The first time that the Class of 1908 came to the notice of the public was during the spring term when they gave theii reception to the Faculty and students. All of the details wei-e arranged so well and every part of the evening ' s entertainment was carried out so well that everyone was enthusiastic with l)raises for the Juniors. The next important event for the class was the State Board examinations. All that were recommended by the fac- ulty passed them successfully. On September 4, 1906, after a delightful vacation, many of the class returned to continue the Normal work. Some of the familiar faces were not seen, and several new ones joined the ranks. The Class was re-organized as the Middle Year Class, with the same officers. During the winter term the class entertained the fac- ulty and students by giving a Washington Birthday party. Two of the class dressed in quaint old costumes representing Mr. and Mrs. George Washington, were at the door of Sky Parlor to welcome the guests. The year sliijped by and we again face the State Board. To make a long story short, we all passed. As for our dear olcl red and white, they were the first to welcome the breeze on Seminary Hall. During this year the class presented a beau- tiful picture to the school for in the History recreation room. This was the beginning of a movement which was followed by the Class of 1909, and it is hoped that the classes to come will do the same. acation over once more, September 10, 1907, found us liack for work. Two familiar faces did not return, but a num- ber of new ones were added. All those that realized that their best interests rested with the Class of ' 08 returned. The Class soon re-organized as the Senior Class and the following officers were elected. President, H. M. Farwell; Vice-Presi- dent, Francis E. Mahey; Secretary, M. Grace Knapp; Treas- urer, Mary George. One of the events of the fall term was the field meet- Although the results of the day were somewhat against the ' 08-ers, they showed that they had lots of class spirit. The annual Senior Play presented on Thanksgiving eve- ning, by the Cass of 1908 proved to be a great success . Those taking part did their work splendidly. The success of the play was due in a great measure to Prof. Egbert. He was untiring in his efforts in training the performers and in planning for and arranging the stage settings. During the winter term the class basket-ball games were plajed. The boys of tlie ' OS Class carried off the honors, but tlie s ' irls lost to the Middle Year girls. Once more the l-!tate Board came and was a thing of the past. Commencement week had many happy moments, both for the members of tlie Class and their friends. The Enterprise says, The year just passed was the most successful in the school ' s history and the Commencement exercises of the Class of 1908 were a fitting close to the year ' s work. Commencement exercises properly began Friday even- ing with the Principal ' s reception to the Senior Class at Dr. Becht ' s home in Music Hall. On Commencement Sunday Dr. Cornelius Woelfkin, of the Theological Seminary of Rochester. N. Y., preached the sermon. His theme was The Service of Humility. At four o ' clock the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. held their joint meeting, at which time certificates of membership were given to the outgoing Seniors. The Class Day exercises proved very interesting, especially ' to the members of the class as they could understand all the sayings, jokes, etc. Besides the address by the President, class history, prophecy, etc., the music was a very pleasing part of the program. The music by the quartets as well as the solos showed that the class had rare musical talent. It was at this meeting that Charles Page in behalf of the Class, presented to the school a gift in the form of a library table and eight chairs to be used in the mag- azine reading section of the Library. This was a happy meet- ing for the class and their friends. The Twentieth Annual Commencement exercises of the Clarion Normal was held in the Chapel Wednesday morning, June 24, at half past ten. At this meeting the members of the Class of 1008 received the regular Normal Certificate. The six honor orations were given at this time by the following mem- bers of the Class : Misses Keicherter , Cooper and Knapp, and Messrs. Eonnert. Moore and Shoup. The speaker of the day as llr. William Baxter Owen, of Lafayette ( ollege, who spoke on Miat tlie School r)oes for a Man. .Vt the close of this meeting came the saddest hour of all. the parting, never to meet again when all will be present. Senior Class Commencement Song, June 1908. TuxE — Under Southern Skies. The final days of school have come, the saddest of the year. For we are soon to separate from all we hold so dear; So let us join together and review in joyous song The praises of the Normal and of dear old Clarion. Here ' s luck to dear old Normal, a friend so kind and true; Here ' s to onr Alma Mater and dear teachers, here ' s to you ; We pledge ourselves to stand by you as we have always done. Here ' s wishing future happiness, success to Clarion.

CLASS of I909 SENIORS Senior Class History. The Class of 1909 began its history-making epoch on the morning of September 10, 1906. Then, not too green, yet green enough to be conspicuous, we appeared at the Clarion State Kormal School ; but in time this verdancy disappeared and we entered upon our Normal regime that did us proud. O, what a record we had as Juniors ! Still we had a better one as Middlers. Hut our Senior career, what shall T call it? Perfection? Excellence personified? Yea, even those terms are too mild. It was more remarkable than the exalted record of previous years. In no department of the school have the ' 09 ' s been found wanting. In knowledge, in society and in athletics we have always maintained a high record. Never yet has our proud standard been trailed in the dust, but, flaunting in the bright atmosphere of courage and hope, it has ever stood for all that is loyal and true, and has urged us on to the goal now so nearly within our grasp. Although the history of 1909 has ever been the history of the school, it is even more true of our Senior year than of our Junior or Middle year. AVe lead, others follow. That the Normal has been benefitted by our sojourn here is universally known. The Faculty know it, we know it, the underclassmen know it — in fact, it is not unknown to anyone. The entire history of our class would fill many ponderous volumes. But suffice it to say that our influence will be felt long after we have left these classic walls. It is with mingled feelings of regret and joy that we realize that we must so soon leave this place hallowed by sa- cred memories. But at the same time joy pervades each heart as it looks back upon time well spent and tasks nobly done. In these respects we have established a precedent worthy of the emulation of any cla.ss. Our past has been brilliant, but a better and brighter future awaits. Our path at last shall lead to the Elysian fields of knowledge where dwell the heroes long tried in the battles of life, and the faithful, who have triumphed over every difficulty and come off victors in the strife. So we — one and all — with a feeling of deep regret, bid farewell to each other and to our Alma Mater. Class Song. (Written to the music of Flow (Jeiitly Sweet Aftoii.) The .years have swiftly glided and happy have been, Since ent ' ring dear Kormal, which made us akin. As Junies we were humble and followed the rules; We avoided all troubles and dreamed of the schools That we would preside over when we were grads; We never cut chapel or broke study hours; We I ' eai-ed all our teachers and ] r;iyed that we ])ass; Oh, the -hinies are good, Imt as green as the grass. But State Board cams, and soon i)nt an end to our woes; We scorned all our troubles and laughed at our foes. For we had passed Junior and no longer were kids, Our pride Imew no limits, for we were the Mids. We waded through Caesar with worthy conceit, Our efforts in Rhet ' ric can never be beat; Our curves and our angles are now wcsrld wide known. They ' re exceeded in beauty by I ' athagras ' alone. But now has conic the year when our tears nmst be shed; We think of our parting with hearts hea y as lead. Dear Physics is loved by each and by all. And our Trig is the pride of old Sem ' nary Hall. But soon comes the time when no longer are seen The dear, famous colors — the white and the green. But now and forever let this be the rule — To love Alma Mater, our dear Normal School. Senior Class Poem. ' 09 Class Yell. O Normal, Alma Mater, The parting days draw near; No longer in your halls renowned We meet onr classmates dear. We may not know, we cannot tell What coming years to each may bring, But whi le we hear old Normal ' s l)ell Our heart within a song will sing. A song of joy, yet mixed with pain. For of our parting we must think; And friends we may not see again Cause sorrow in the heart to sink. But why this melancholy strain With futures bright and prospects fine?

CHARLES ALFRED ANDERSON Charles entered upon the first du- ties ot this mundane sphere at Brooks- t ti Pa on a day which was made I il holiday by the town crier. 1 s leceived his early education in pubhc schools of his native town. I itt- r he was graduated from the Sheffield High School. He has al- V. i s done good work and richly de- serves the success which we know he will attain. His strongest point is his weakness for the ladies. His highest ambition is to get a nice wife and be county commissioner. Betty is always innocent when d irk corners on the campus are men- timed. She has no need for these as she has her own Park. Give her some work to do and she is otherwise eng iged ; but mention some devilment ind she is in the seventh heaven. Nut many people are aware of Betty ' s musical ability although she is a skillful performer on the guitar. As chairman of the Social Committee of the Y. W. C. A. she has done efficient work, as has been proved many times. MARY ETHEL BAXTER. In the sunny month of June Mary Ethel Baxter entered upon her active career in Port Allegany. Pa. She graduated from the High School of that place in 1905, taught one term of school and came to Clarion Nor- mal in the spring of 1907. Her locks are not more sunny than her disposi- tion, and her name not more full of mirth than her laughter. There ' s nothing ill can dwell in such JOHN BAXTER, Gilfoyle. Pa. Disturb not my peaceful slumbers. Received preparatory training in Gilfoyle Grammar School. John is bound to become famous.

Beck, of Venango County, President Judge of the 24th Judicial District of Pennsylvania, born Juno 13, 18S9. Completed the four year course of Centerville High School in three months. Came to Normal in 1907. Won the everlasting friendship of Prof. Egbert by having rough house and using light after 10 p. m.

Just where she isn ' t quite sure, but she rem embers stopping on her way to Clarion at Callensburg. Pa., where she received her preparatory education. IJIanche says her favorite study at the Normal is Fudgeology. Perhaps this is why hei ' disposition is so sweet, but whatever ma ' be the reason, we can truly say of her, as of few others. None knew thee but to love thee. Charles Fitzgerald was born in Clar- ion August 14, 1891, and being a na- tive of the Normal City, received his early education in th e Model S ahool, a fact which accounts for his model behavior. Charles says he enjoys Ge- ology more than anything else, unless it be a good cigarette. As soon as he graduates he will go West to fight the Indians. Well Charles, if you conquer the redskins as easily as you did the German language, your scalp will be safe. LEULAH B. FISHER. Shippenville, Pa.

BESS DRISCOLL. Besii first commenced to talk in Clarendon and has made rapid prog- ress in that direction ever since. If, when called upon to recite, she does not know what to say on the subject she chooses a topic on which she can talk fluently. Her meek disposition is indicated by the sheep bell on her arm. Bess is especially interested in Zoology, her favorite specimen being the Miller, a very rare kind. PANSY PEARL GRIFFIN was born It D -golia. Pa. After receiving all the instruction that this place aftord- fd she entered the Bradford High ■ hool from which she s;raduated with li nors in 1907. After teaching a term bh entered Clarion Normal and in «iix -RLLks completed the Junior and Middle Years courses. In the Y. M. C she was ever a willing, help- ful and efficient member. It is said thtt she spoke Latin fluently at a ei early age. which accounts for h r excellent work in Cicero and Vir- ,il Success attends her in whatever sludj she takes, but especially does she shme in Public Speaking, and we expect to meet her as the noted read- of our !

He intended the Coolspring Kinder- s;irt n. Coolspring Academy, Sierel Ac;idemy, Grove City, and is now one of the leading students at the Clarion Normal. For five years he diligently instructed the young American in morals and manners. Mr. Heim is achieving great success in Elocution and Oratory and especially in the Deutsch , which seems to be his long coat, because when he is addres- sed his usual reply is ja nein. P. RAYMOND HIRIBARNB, Havana, Cuba. The unpopular subject of this sketch was born in Esperanza, Cuba. He spent his preparatory school life at Monsenatt College and St. John ' s Mil- itary Academy. He soon discovered that the island of Cuba was too small for him. so departed for the good old U. S. A. Came to Clarion, join- ed the ' OS ' s, taking Junior and Middle in one year and will graduate with us in June.

HU ' l ' CHINSON first saw the light in the little town of Eliza- beth, on the banks of the Monoriga- hela. She received her early training in the Elizabeth Public School and la- ter entered the Indiana State Normal School where she remained three terms. After teaching one term, she showed her characteristic trait of wise discrimination by casting her lot with the Class of ' 09 of the Clarion Nor- mal.

It is very evident that Deutsch is her favorite subject and she hers2lf admits that her favorite pastime is miking ' ■fudge. CARRIE JEANNERAT, of Ship- penville, Pa., received her early edu- cation at Mary Ann School, Elk Town- ship. Carrie is one of the pretty girls of the school. She is very studious, and is successful with her work. Her favorite study is logic and she be- comes intensely interested in the class work. Her favorite pastime is walk- ing to Shippenville, but she has nev- er had this opportunity since the first week of her Junior year. FLOYD LEONARD JUDD, It is doubtful whether Potter Coun- ty ever produced a better represen- tative student for the C. S. N. S. than Floyd Leonard Judd.

Mamie was born in that important county of Allegheny. After graduating from the Millvale High School she came to Clarion Normal in 1907, as the place where she might possibly add to her store of knowledge. Tho ' Trig, is a favorite study with her, nothing- can take the place of Chem- istry or Physics. Mamie always knows just how many days before she must leave her beloved Alma Mater. The song she likes best is Home, Sweet Home. IDA MARKS was born not long ago in Clermont, McKean County. She is young in years, but wise in judgment. In recitation she always proceeds with a very even tone. To rufHe her equan- imity would be a calamity unutter- able. Ida is fond of music because it is the food of love. She tells us that teaching is her chosen vocation, but we fear that her ideal school contains only one pupil. GEORGE CLEVELAND MILLER, Georgie. Frogtown, Pa. He that chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath. Georg ' e began his career in the world at Toadtown about 1S8S. Having exhausted the resources of the Public School at Frogtown and deciding he wanted a higher education, he came to C. S. N. S. where he has been a faith- ful worker. George ' s only failing is the fairer sex, but here he cannot re- sist the overwhelming temptation. He expects to teach for a time then talce up ci% ' il engineering as his work. Wo can s.ifely predict he will be ful. MARGUERITE MEREDITH MIL- LER is one of the few good little girls in her class. Her behavior dur- ing her career at the Normal was per- fection above all reproach. Mudge was never known to laugh during rec- itation. Miss Miller furnished music for the gymnasium class, always be- ing at her place when required. She taught a primary grade in the Model School and expects to take up Kin- dergarten work as her future voca- tion. Her favorite pastime is talk- ing with Mr. Peters. JOANNE V. MILLIREN, Born in the pleasant little town nf Reynoidsville. she attended the PubHi School and was graduated from Rey- noidsville High School in ' 07. She wculd rtither stir up a fuss than eat a meal and is known as the best scrap- per in the Senior Class. Since she has pleaded so earnestly not to have Eugene- mentioned, we will comply with her request. Instead of teaching slie frequently talks of taking up the study of Domestic Science. What can be the object? JOHN HILL MOHNEY, Oak Ridge, Pa. John, who is artistically inclintd, received his early education in Oak Ridge Public Schools.

On March 22, 1S90, Clarion awoke to the realization of the fact that its population had been increased, for Mary Catharine Murphy was born. Miss Murphy is tall, slender, very graceful, and has eyes which sparkle as the dew. She graduated from the High School in ' 07, entering the Nor- mal as a Junior the same year. Mary ' s favorite study is Geology. She is all here except her heart, and that has taken its flight to Brookville. JENNIE ELSIE McGAW first began to torment her parents in Reynolds- ville on a May day in 1S78. (?) She received her early training in the Pub- lic Schools of that town, graduating from the High School in ' 00. After playing the role of school marm for eight years Jennie made her presence felt in Clarion. Although of a some- what sh5 ' and retiring disposition, her afltection wlien once aroused is mea- surable only by the Metric System. With some one to take her part she will train cur country ' s youth and with mirth and laughter let the old wrinkles come. J. R. McNL ' TT. ghts.

Af- ter attending public school for several years, he entered the Normal as a member of the Class of 1909. Roscoe is sure of a position on Prof. Upham s track team in tlie coming fall. INA NASON, Goodwill Hill. Pa. Warren County may well be proud of its representative in the person of Miss In;i Nason. With her cheerful disposition she scatters sunshine wher- e ' er she goes, and it is needless to say that hor inMuence for good will leave a his tins impression upon her class- matfs. Nntwithstanding her talent for music and elocution, she has maintain- ed a g-.iod standing in botli the sec- ulur and the religious work of the school, having efficiently served as president of the Y.

NELSON. lone O. Nelson entered upon her studious course in the enterprising lit- tle village of North Bingham. Pa. At a remarkably early age she became fa- mous as a vocalist, but by means of the constant persuasion of friends and parents she reluctantly gave up the idea of winning fame in this direc- tion and turned her mind to the teaching profession. In 1906 she grad- uated from Fort Allegheny High School as valedictorian of her class. Upon entering the Normal she proved the saying that the force of her own merit makes her way. Her chief failing is heart trouble which was caused by occasionally being called my own. Among her favorite pas- times are midnight feasts, moonlight drives and climbing ropes. She hopes to win renown as a teacher of science in which she has attained success. MARGARET O ' DONNELL. Genesee, Pa. Margaret made her appearance on this earthly sphere in the flourishing town of Genesee. Pa. She was former- ly a student of Lock Haven, but fol- lowing the direction of a well- trained mind, showed great wisdom in choos- ing Clarion Normal for completing her course. Margaret is fond of music and finds great pleasure in interpret- ing the musical sounds of the steam radi:itor. Her highest ambition is to win fame in the lofty which has become he She who scorns a a maid. of Physics rite study. J. ELAINE OGDEN, Kane, Pa.

Although our business manager claims the above address now, he is not of foreign birth, as he first stump- ed his toes in Venango County, this state, along the historic Alleghany. He has been known to accept almost any article of merchandise in payment for ads. In one instance he received a load of oats which he sold readily among the Latin students of the in- stitution.

Her ambition is to become a teacher of History in the State University when she returns to Ohio, and for this work she is pre- paring her mind by deep and thoug-ht- ful readings of the modern novels.

She is very fond of fudge, but she never makes it with sugar from the dining room (?). Her favorite study is German, but she sometimes rests in class. NELLIE MABEL SIMONDS is an- other of the many good students who have come to the Normal from Mc- Kean County. Mabel ' s horoscope tells that she will be a famous scientist in the future and she has already shown great promise in this direction, hav- ing in the early part of the Senior year, indisputably proved that the globe rotates because the earth turns and the sky doesn ' t. As all her friends know, Persimmon is al- so a firm believer in the adage from Shakespeare.

Viola has a great habit of fal- ling asleep on feast nights, thus mis- sing numerous private interviews on the Green Carpet. Her future is fore- told by her love for cats. SARA ELIZABETH SLOAN was born and bred in Clarion. She has received all her extensive education in the Public and Normal Schools of this place. Elizabeth has never believed in hard work; she thinks it injurious to health. She seldoms bestows her affections on anyone but is true as steel to the few favored ones. Her favorite pursuits are Music. Athletics, and Elocution. Some day we shall proudly speak of the famous Dr. Sloan as one of our classmates. INA MAE SMAIL, Kane, Pa. Ina Mae Smail, of McKean County, Pa., raduated from Kane High School in 1907, after which she taught one term in Venango County. Ina is a v -ry bright girl. She passed Junior :ind Middle and took part of the Sen- ile work in one year. In the spring oi 1909 she came back to the Normal and passed Senior in one term. How- ever she worked harder to get out of studying than would have been nec- essary had she studied. She enjoy- ed Physics most simply because she cuuld not understand it. She was very fond of sleep and usually retired at 7:30 p. m. Her favorite pastimes are taking pictures and making fudge. Her frequent visits to the art gallery were remarkable. CHARLES O. STAHLMAN, Fairmount City, Pa. The man is blessed. Who does his best, A nd leaves the rest. Don ' t Worry! Charlie created his first disturbance at Frogtown in the latter part of the ' 80s. He received his early education at this place and also attended a Township High School before enter- ing Normal. Shortly after Charlie en- tered C. S. N. S. he got Moore, and to all appearances he is going to con- tinue. His jovial Haw! Haw! may be heard from early mom until late at night. His sunny disposition will aid him in his school work, and in after life make hs fireside cheerful. NELLIE STAHLMAN, Brookville, Pa. Nellie Stahlman was born at Kirk- man, Pa., during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Her present home is 417 Water Street, Brookville. Nellie being very small, verifies the statement tiiat precious articles are put up in small packages. Previous to entering the Normal Nellie rendered efficient service in the school room. She in- tends to continue the same vocation, but was recently heard to say that she would like a school of just one. Her splendid record here is marred by only one act, that of disobeying her painting teacher concerning the prop- er place for completed sketches at exhibition time. ADA V. SVYANSON. Kasson, Pa. Ada V. Swanson was born at Kas- son, Pa.; attended the Marvindale Pub- lic School; entered Clarion in the spring of 1907. Of all her subjects Ada prefers teaching in the Model School and we expect some day to hear that she is a country school-ma ' am. Her voice is low and gentle, in fact, so luw that it is sonietimes necessary to inform the class that she is speaking. This saying is a favorite with her: Blessed be the man who invented sleep. DEL LA SWARM. Delia Swarm was born at Madison, Pa., on a sweltering: day in August, 1SS9. Her natural traits of character are patience and perseverance. She is one of the few in the class who have the honor of being endowed with red hair. It has stood her in good stead many a cold winter ' s day. Before en- rolling: at the Normal Delia attended school at Rockdale and the Public School at Clarion. She is a farmer ' s girl and her present home is on a ranch near Clarion. Delia says her favorite pastime is reading Fairy Tales, but that sounds like a fairy tale in itself. CYNTHIA THOMPSON, Cynthia, another of Clarion ' s little maids, was born at Parkers Landing, her parents moving here later. She attended the Public School at Clarion until she realized that if she would be in it she must join herself to the Nineteen Niners. She lost no time in doing so and has never regretted her action. Miss Thompson is a lov- er of athletics and is captain of the girl ' s basket ball team of her class. It is hard to tell what she will do. ;irls who lang phra OLIVE E. SYKES. Reynoldsville, Pa.

ALTA A. TIMLIN. Alta Timlin descended to earth one cold February morning alighting at Fisher, Fa. She was so pleased with the place that she has always remain- ed there. Her education was received in the schools of her native town. She has taught four terms, three at Fish- er and one at Redclyffe. She has been very successful both as a teacher and as a student. Although she seems rather indifferent toward her many suitors, we firmly believe that the inevitable will soon appear. LANE M. TIMLIN. Clarion, Pa.

Thou hast a mind that suits with this thy fair and outward character. Inasmuch as Madge is re- warded with success in every task she pursues, we feel assured that some- time in the near future, we will be proud to recognize in her one of the world-famed instructors. JANET TITUS, Warren, Pa. Merely happy-go-lucky Janet has a great tendency to let her fun get the better of her, especially at feasts. She is a great talker, and what she cannot say in German she supplies in Latin. Any time during the day and sometimes in the night can be heard her Ea ' orite expression My, but I ' m happy! She has not yet decided up- on her life-work, and that ouestion is at present the weightiest on her mind. IDA NELLE YARGER made her lirst debut in society in the town of Austin, Pa., September 9. 1S90. It was early discovered that she posses- sed musical talent and, while attend- ing the Austin High School, she made rapid progress along this line. In September, 1907, she entered Clarion Normal and applied herself diligently to study, devoting the most of her time to her favorite studies. Elocution and Physics. Nelle was always of a very timid nature, but her class mates hope that in the near future she mny overcome her bashfulness. She wears Ihe rose of ycuth upon DON V. TINGLING, Cla Pa. Yes, it was Don ' s ill luck to be ush- ered into daylight in the vicinity of Clarion in the early ' 90s, and from that time he has been one of the few faithful in being present at the school during the entire time. Mr, Yingling is a fair sample of what Normal Grub will do for a fellow. He is a jolly good kid, but for some reason, he is suspected, no matter what the offense may be. and he is the one whom the entire faculty seem to de- light in accusing and upbraiding. His chief pastime is basket ball, in which game he is known as The Cat or Smooth. HATTIE BELLE YINGLING. Cla Pa. dorr Hattie Belle ' s home is tory taut her heart is in Tionesta.

On the moniing of the tenth o( September, 1907, two bod- ies of wide-eyed inquisitive people stood on the front campus at Clarion. These curious persons were no other than the Seniors and Middlers, who were watching for the coming of the Juniors. They had heard of our arrival and expected to assume complete control of the little greenies of 1910. But lo, what was their surprise and chagrin when, after liav- ing organized our class and elected competent ofiBcers, eighty - six imposing young people swept over the campus and calmly brushing them aside, entered Chapel ! This first triumph was only a slight divination of t he brilliant future which remains, still to be fulfilled. Our next splendid siiccess was on Field Day, when ouv upper class-men in gala array had collected on the field of battle to witness our defeat. And they were not disappointed. We came out in the rear. After this great defeat they began to realize we were quite as verdant as they had at first sup- In the Gym Exhibition the spectators appreciated our good attempts, even though they were failures, and applaud ed with wild enthusiasm. The one grand occasion of (Marion during the Spring term of 1908 was 1910 ' s reception, at which we royally enter- tained the faculty and students of the school. When State Board came, the 1910 ' s looked doubtfully for- ward to the exams , hoping that they might pa?fi with grades above excellent, since they had enjoyed such great ( ?) success during the whole year. At length the day ar- rived when we were to learn our fate. While the other class- es sat confident of their success, 1910 sat trembling with down- cast countenance in the very front seat facing the enemy. When it was announced that the entire Junior Class had pas- sed, the enthusiasm was intense at their deception of the State Board. This triumph closed our first and very success- ful year at Clarion. On September 7, 1908, the Class of ' 10 as conceited Mid- dlers, endured by the Seniors and laughed at by the Juniors, returned to Clarion. This year, among our numerous won- ders, we have proved to our professors that we can nearly draw a circle, and that we can successfully ride a steed through the Gallic War. The Juniors ! Poor little fellows ! We beat them badl;. in basket ball. Then the Seniors came in with a strong team. As they are our superiors, we had to humor them by giving them the boys ' game. However, our girls thought it best to win their game just to hold the Seniors down a little. Our deception this year was a howling success. Clarion never having witnessed anything to equal it before. At thd close of this event, every Middler sent up an everlasting toast to the Class of 1910 and dear old C. S. N. S. This closes our History for the present — a history of suc- cesses and triumphs, of battles fought and battles won. The futtire is yet to disclose what our brilliant past has predicted.

It is indeed a great pleasure to the liistorian of the Class of 1911 to compile the history of such a brilliant (?) class. On October 15th a class meeting was held and the officers of the class were elected. Another meet- ing was called hy the President on October 20th for the purpose of selecting the class colors and to decide on other important business. No other class during the history of the Clar ion State Normal School could have been such a credit to the institution as the Class of 1911. An.l no other class of this school, according to the rec ord, has a higher standard than this one. Who carries off the zero class grades? Why, to be sure, it ' s the Juniors. Not only brains do we lack, but brawn and brain combined. Up to this time we are well represented in athletics, and our record has not by any means fallen behind this year. As to musicians, we have not a few, for if it w ere not for the discordant voices of the Juniors would Dr. Becht need to lead the singing in chapel? Who will dare to say that we are a brainy class? Dur- ing the past year we have had no inferior in the class room work, and even now do not fall below the low standard which we established. Any one who doubts the truth of the statements, we refer to the professors of the school. Anyone who visits the Clarion State Normal School can distinguish a Junior in four ways: (1) his freshness; (2) his know-it-all ; (3) unman- nerly ways, and (4) pleasant smile, which causes the other class-men to dream and wonder. In fact we are the only class unworthy of men- tion. Our history would not be complete without giving the Preps a roast. But as they never did anything for or against us, and in fact never did much for themselves, we pass them by with a few suggestions: Be frank to your fellow-students, try to emulate our deeds, and avoid our mistakes, so that in the end you may become as great as the Class of 1911. One short year of happiness we have spent in the Clarion State Normal School. As to the future everything looks bright. We have just begun our school life, and in the two years before us, with such an excellent start, all is possible. lunior Class l oeni. junior Class Son,- .

These words greeted my ears while I was walking between Science and Seminary Halls the oth- er evening. I immediately looked around expecting to see the president of the United States, the governor of Pennsyl- vania, the Judge of our county, or possibly, some one of our worthy professors ' old school mates; but, being disappointed in this, I hung my head in shame, lest the worthy professor so familiarly addressed would think it was I. For lo and be- hold, there before me, looking up at the venerable professor, stood one of those sniveling, snarling, saucy preps. I had always heard, in fact I knew, that they were an ignorant class, but, having somewhat of a slow disposition for judging people from this standpoint, I had always given theiii the benefit of a doubt, or had overlooked their many and grievous shortcomings. But this was intolerable. Since that time I ha ' e become enlightened concerning them, and have seen things that would make the statue of Ap ollo in the Chapel shed tears of anguish, and have found that the above incident is simply typical of the Precis. Poor, plodding, impertinent Preps, forever fretting and fussing, forever flunking and failing; what hand of fate caus- ed you to leave your own dear mothers and come out into the big, wide world, finally arriving at Clarion? It is both pitiful and disgusting to see a Prep when he first arrives at school. He struts about as though he owned the whole place and as though everyone would look vip to him with his natty caj), liis nicely arranged necktie, and his small Fauntleroy suit. But as the shadows of evening lengthen his face becomes pallid, his eyes moist, and by the time darkness veils the earth all you can hear from the Prep ' s room is a wail as of mortal anguish for his own dear mamma, for sister Sue, or perhaps for his own cozy cot. This continues for about three weeks, or until the whirl of life at school diverts his thoughts to saner problems than that of crying for mamma. He now begins to look up to the Seniors as though they were denii-gods, to the Middlers with a less degree of veneration, but to the Juniors with highest admiration, for in a few years he himself may be counted in the latter class. When he has been chosen a member of one of the Literary Societies his joy knows no bound, and he immediately writes home to mamma telling her that he has been greatly hone ■ed by this action of the Society. But he soon finds out that ev- ery student is a member of one or the other of the societies and that jjerliaps lie is among the last ones to be thus hon- oied. But we must not say too much about them for once upon a time a Prep was known to graduate from a school and is now one of the shining lights in this great country of ours. Poor plodding Preps, If hard you delve. You may graduate In ]! 12. Prep Roll.

The Model School. The Model or Training School occupies four rooms on the first floor of Science Hall and consists of about one hun- dred pupils. These pupils are divided into nine grades cor- responding to the grades of the Public Schools. The regular work of the school is supervised by a thor- oughly competent Principal, who has had special training for the work and years of experience as an educator. The aim of the Model School is to prepare the members of the Senior Class for the profession of teaching, enabling them to put into practice the principles of education which they have had theoretically throughout their course, and to send them out with a practical knowledge of the theory and art of teaching, and with ability, judgment and confidence, which come only through the actual experience in the school room. The work is so arranged that experience is acquired throughout the grades, from the primary to the ninth inclu- sive. Each Senior is required to teach one period a day for twenty weeks and during this time has complete charge of a class of about twelve pupils under the supervision of the Principal of the Model School. Each Senior is required to write out a lesson plan daily and submit it to the critic teacher who examines and corrects the plan the day before the lesson is conducted. The plan must show the subject matter to be taught, the problems involved in the lesson, the method of presentation, the illus- trations and exi); rim(Mits niiil tlip skill in (luestioniiig and thoroughness in drill. The Senior teachers meet with the Principal of the Model School once a week for criticism. Mistakes are noted and corrected ; methods of teaching, school management, pro- fessional reading and all pedagogical work are taken up in a systematic way. In addition to the class criticism, app oint- ments are made for individual criticism, at which time it is entirely personal. Not only does the critic teacher correct errors in teaching and personality, but she endeavors to dis- cover power and ability and thus insjjire and encourage the pupil teacher. The Supervisor necessarily maps out the course of study but the pupil teacher is thrown upon her own respon- sibility in determining the amount of subject matter to be presented during the recitation period and the best method of presentation and development. Each teacher is encour- aged to be thoughtful, earnest and original. She consults with the Supervisor and receives advice and assistance on such questions and difficulties as puzzle and perplex her. The pu- pil teachers are given lessons in observation by the Super- visor, after which free discussion and criticism take place concerning the recitation observed. Every advantage possible is given to the student teach- ers to thoroughly equip them for their work. The end ever in view is to make them morally, intellectually, socially and professionally efficient. Model Schooi, (1909). The Model School.

The regular work of the school is supervised by a thor- oughly competent Principal, who has had special training for the work and years of experience as an educator. The aim of the Model School is to prepare the members of the Senior Class for the profession of teaching, enabling them to put into practice the principles of education which they have had theoretically throughout their course, and to send them out with a practical knowledge of the theory and art of teaching, and with ability, judgment and confidence, which come only through the actual experience in the school room. The work is so arranged that experience is acquired throughout the grades, from the primary to the ninth inclu- sive. Each Senior is required to teach one period a day for twenty weeks and during this time has complete charge of a class of about twelve pupils under the supervision of the Principal of the Model School. Each Senior is required to write out a lesson plan daily and submit it to the critic teacher who examines and corrects the plan the day before the lesson is conducted. The plan must show the subject matter to be taught, the problems involved in the lesson, the method of presentation, the illus- trations and experiments and the skill in (iiiesfioniiig and thoroughness in drill. The Senior teachers meet with the Principal of the Model School once a week for criticism. Mistakes are noted and corrected ; methods of teaching, school management, pro- fessional reading and all pedagogical work are taken up in a systematic way. In addition to the class criticism, appoint- ments are made for individual criticism, at which time it is entirely personal. Not only does the critic teacher correct iTvois ill teaching and personality, but she endeavors to dis- lovcr piiwer and ability and thus ins])ire and encourage the ]iiipil l( ' ;icliei-. Tlie Sujiervisor necessarily maps out the course of study but the pupil teacher is thrown upon her own respon- sibility ill determining the amount of subject matter to be presented during the recitation period and the best method of presentation and development. Each teacher is encour- aged to be thoughtful, earnest and original. She consults with the Supervisor and receives advice and assistance on such questions and difficulties as puzzl e and perplex her. The pu- jiil teachers are given lessons in observation by the Super- visor, after which free discussion and criticism take place concerning the recitation observed. Every advantage possible is given to the student teach- ers to thoroughly equip them for their work. The end ever in view is to make them morally, intellectually, socially and professionally efficient. Music Department. Miss Charlena Freeman, Director. 5TCDENT5.

OYLER ALICE OYLER PEARL JATCOX INA NASON LAURA McELROT HELEN WHITMEE MABEL SHEPFER JANET TITUS Department of Public Speaking For a number of years the Department of Public Speak- ing has been neglected in the Normal Course. Last year il was deemed wise to organize a department whose aim it should be to encourage effective Public Speaking. As the work is new to the students and possibly to many of the friends of the Normal, let us review briefly. The idea as to what constitutes a good public speaker has changed rapidly in the last few years. The audience now does not re- quire facts, but either a well interpreted and effectively pre- sented view of some phase of man ' s nature or a phychologieal insight into the complex structure of the human emotions. No powerful and lasting impression can be made upon an audience by one whose personality is warped in its devel- oimient. In all lines of work the absolute necessity for a fully rounded personality is being felt more keenly each year. The business man, the stenographer, in fact, everyone engaged in jjublic service realizes the importance of a pleasing person- ality. How supremely important is it then, that the teacher who is to mould and shape the character of the Americans of the future, should possess a powerful, telling personality. With this idea in mind the first and primary necessity is to eliminate personal eccentricities and develop ease, grace and strengtli of carriage. Exercises in relaxation of all parts of the body and in the techni(iue of gesture are given and dis- cussed in order that the mind and body may be harmonized in expression. The chief means of expression, namely, the voice, face and gesture, are given especial attention. Projier breath regulation is carefully practiced so that a pure, smooth tone with deep resonance and carrying power may be produced without effort or fatigue. The voice is frequently deprived of volume and sonority because the principles. Emphasis, Inton- alion ;nid Modulation, are ignored. This constitutes the first part of the work — an effort to ])ro,luce a .symmetrical, normal, well-poised, graceful physi- cal and facial development. The second phase is an appeal to the intellect. Body and mind must work in harmony that the most effective results may be accomplished. The brain depends on the body for its supplies. They are closely related. One must reason, think carefully, in order to interpret a piece of literature aright. That the pupil may be stimulated to individual effort along these lines, selections are studied from the masterpieces of English and American literature. It is the aim of the work to inspire clear, serious and original in- terpretations of complex situations. The last, and perhaps the most important phase of the work, is the emotional — the appeal to the love of beauty, no- bility and sublimity. Motives are analyzed, situations discus- sed, and an effort is made to draw from the pupil an expres- sion of his more subtle feelings. This is one of the chief es- sentials of the work as so much depends upon enthusiastic appreciation and the resulting inspiration. No adaptation of the pei-sonality can be secured without intelligent and sympa- thetic interpretation. Enthusiasm must be infused and action stimulated. This, in a general way, outlines the work which the Department of Public Speaking has attempted. A marked improvement has been noticeable in tone formation, articula- tion and modulation. Let us hope that in the future, greater things may be accomplished, that the student body may real- ize the value of a well-developed, fully rounded personality in the art of teaching, and, above all, that a pure, smooth voice is nut only an advantage in the class room, it is of supreme importance in any of the walks of life. It gives one power, impressiveness, supremacy — it jiuts upon one the stamp of intelligence, training, refinement and culture. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet V. M. C. A. Cabinet V )iin§ Women ' s Cliristian Association. Youn$ Men ' s Christian Association. The need of well-educated yomig women has never been felt more than at the jireseut time. To be educated is to have not only an intellectual but also a moral training. This is the aim of our Association, not to develop our intellectual powers, but to develop noble Christian charactei-s, to deepen and broaden the spii-itual life of every student. The two devotional meetings held each week throughout the year have been well attended and have been earnest in character. An important phase of work is our Bible Study. The large number enrolled this year is verj ' promising, and shows tliat the interest in the study of God ' s word is growing steadily. The missionary woi ' k of our Association was greatly benefited by a visit from Miss I ' owell, a former graduate, who is now a missionary returned from Japan. As a result of the meetings held during her visit many of our members con- tributed toward the support of Miss Batty at Buenos Aires. Among the many helpful events of the year is the visit of our State Secretary, Miss Dyre. She usually stays with VIS one week and her visit proves a great help and inspires us ior better and more earnest work. During the past year two delegates were sent to the summer conference held at Mt. Lake Park, Maryland; four were sent to the conference at Beaver, Pa. It is through these conferences that we come in closer contact with the work done in other Associations, and obtain many helpful sugges- tions. We trust that the good seed sown by the Y. W. O. A. may bring forth an abundant harvest. It is our desire that this Christian work go on and on until no young woman can leave Clarion Normal without feeling that her spiritual life has been deepened. Never before in the history of the C. S. N. S. has the work of the Y. M. C. A. been so energetic and effective as with- in the last two years. Standing, as it does, an open doorway to the very best social and religious life of our school, we be- ]i?ve there is no other institution outside of the churches and schools that does more work of a directly beneficial character in strengthening the moral fiber of young men, in guiding them into proper and successful paths in life, and in making them good moral Christian citizens. I ' nder the leadership of our efficient president, a move- ment was instituted last year which resulted in the establish- ment of a permanent fund for sending delegates to summer conferences. Last summer three young men were sent to Niag ara. During the year six delegates attended the convention at Connellsville and returned with renewed spirit and invigora- ted minds for more active Association work. Recognizing the importance of the Bible Study movement, two delegates were sent to the International Student Bible Confei ' ence at Columbus, O., during October. Another impor- tant phase of our work in addition to systematic Bible study, is the maintenance of two classes in mission study. Through- out the entire year two well-attended devotional meetings have been held every week. We have ample reason for believing that our work dur- ing the past year has been fruitful, and we hope that the good work will be carried on even better in the future than it has been in the past, and that our Association may be instrumen- tal in cultivating in many young men that manly type of re- ligious and Christian life wdiich found its highest example in the Man of Nazareth. p J| ' -hU J Catholic Church Haptist Church. terary 1 Literary Societies. The social and intellectual life of tbe Normal is great ]y fostered by the excellent work of the two Literary Socie- ties, the Franklin and the Bancroft. The societies with their present constitutions have been in active operation since their organization under Dr. Becht in 1905. The foremost purpose of the societies is to afford en- tertainment after a relaxation from the week ' s duties. The programs which are under the direct supervision of the facul- ty, are generally arranged so as to present one theme, such as science, art, literature or travel. The dramatic element is also carried out in faree or comedy. Inasmuch as the members have always shown great interest and zeal in the preparation and presentation of theiir interesting and instructive programs, their efforts have been rewarded by the fact that each successive year manifests greater improvement along the various lines. Owing to so great a number of successful and inter- esting programs that have been rendered, it would be difficult to give a detailed account of each. However, special mention might be made of a few which stand out as being of unusual interest. One program of such a nature was rendered by the Bancroft in the fall term of 1907 when the chosen theme was that of a Magazine. The stage was decorated with bills and posters representing the advertisement pages of a maga- zine. Political news was given in the form of a debate. A certain portion of the program was allotted to Scientific Play, Sporting Page, Fiction, Play and Poetry. During the winter term of 1909 the Franklin came to the front with two programs that proved their dramatic and scientific abilities. The one was a lively comedy of three scenes, Jumbo-Gum. The other was a program in which scientific experiments and explanations were aptly performed. Each year a very exciting minstrel show with all the customary strains of wit, humor and song predominating, is given by one of the Societies. The occasional exhibit of stereopticon views illustrating points of interest at home and abroad proves to be a very instructive and entertaining element and greatly assists the special themes of travel and scenery. Untold interest is aroused each year by the annual con- test between the two Societies. The contestants vie with each other in recitation, essay, and debate. Two contests of this nature have been held. The Bancroft with her colors gold and wliite carried off the honors in the first by ten points, while tlie Franklins, with waving purple and white, followed as winners in the second by eight points. Con.sequeutly the pres- ent standing is ten to eight in favor of the Bancroft. When next the gold and wliite and the purple and white meet in the spring of 1909, the Iciidcrsliiii for the coming year will be determined.

The Senior Play. Tlinrsday, November 25, 1908, was a day of Thanksgiv- iiig Id all people in the United Stales, but it was especially so to those interested in the Clarion Normal. It was on that night that a large and enthusiastic audience crowded into the Auditorium to see Mr. Bob ' ' prssented by the Senior Glass. The newspaper accounts had been so glowing that everyone expected something exceptional. All fond anticipations were more than realized when the famous 1909 troupe appeared behind the foot-lights. That their etforts were appreciated was evidenced by the hearty applause, which occurred at frequent intervals throughout the perfoimance. M.V. Bob is a play peculiarly adapted to the ama teur performer and much of its success was due to the fact That each participant was so well fitted for his part. That aione, however, could not make it the most successful produc- tion ever given in Clarion. It was only weeks of diligent, though delightful, rehearsing, that the Seniors were able to give such an entertaining and finished production as Mr. Bob. Great credit is due, also, to Jliss Stoner, whose ef- forts were so untiring and efficient. The program was as follows: Music, - - - Herman ' s Orchestra.

Miss Becky ' s house is in confusion because of her i)lan to arrange a winter home for destitute cats. Jen- kins objects to being called upon to care for them while Patty devotes her time to acting. Katharine prepares Philip for the arrival of her friend — Mr. Bob — and allows him to think that she is a man. He plans his greeting accordingly. Mr. Brown arrives and is supposed to be everyone but himself. Aunt Becky and Philip form a compact — she is to give up cats; he, sailing. Philip arranges a business trip to town to avoid entering the race and thus keep his promise to Aunt Becky. A number of interesting complications occur in which i-ats are involved. Vocal S(,lo, Blossom Land, Miss Freeman. Music, Herman ' s Orchestra. Act II. Scene — Same as in Act I ; time, afternoon. Patty gives Jenkins a lesson in acting. Katharine and Mr. Bob plan to have Philip ' s yacht in the race after all with Mr. Bob for captain. Just as they are about to start I ' hilip returns from town; his plans have been disarranged by cats. He supposes Mr. Brown to be Mr, Bob, greets him heartily and shows him all the attention due to Kittie ' s friend. Mr. Bob wins the race and receives as a reward the boat and all that goes with it. Each actor jierformed his part naturally and there were no instances of stage fright. The business affairs of the ]ilav were most successfully managed by Mr. Robert Richards. ' ' liile but few of the members of 1909 actually appeared on the stage, there was a feeling of fellowship and harmony per- ' ading the work, to which, in a large degree, is due the phe- nomenal success of this— the final crises in the history of the Senior Class. Rhododkndkon. Along the Clarion River. ' j )(§ Athletic Association. Soon after the opening of school in September the stu- dents were called together to reorganize the Atliletic Asso- ciation, elect new officers and discuss ways and means for procuring some new equipment for the football team. Dr. Becht called the meeting to order and in a short address expressed his hearty sympathy with the standard for which the association is maintained. The following officers were then nominated and elected : President — Lawrence Zuendel, 09. Secretary — IJon Tingling, ' 09. Treasurer — Chas. Dotterrer, ' 09. Dv. Becht then turned the meeting over to the new nomenal success of this, the final crisis in the history of the fifty dollars from Mr. Pinks for which several of the fellows willingly signed a note. Members were then enrolled and fees collected, which aided materially in increasing our cap- ital. Another sovirce of pecuniary aid was the Athletic Tea given by the physical training department under the efficient direction of Miss Lilly. The tact that thirty dollars were cleared for the Association well bespeaks the decided success of the Tea. At the close of the winter term the condition of the treasury was bettered considerably by the exhibition given by the gymnasium classes. The football season was as usual not an entire success from the financial point of view. Clarion not being provided with the best vMilroiul facilities, the cost of getting a team here invariably is greater than the gate receipts. But, with the aid of the physical training department, the season closed with the original debt of the Association neither increased nor diminished. The basket ball team this season not only paid its own expenses, but put money into the treasury. This is due no doubt to the fact that the attendance was better than in pre- vious years, as well at that the expense is considerably less than for football. In all probability the base ball team will continue its usual gou-l record and come out even on the money question. Revival meetings under the auspices of an Athletic As- sociation may not be the usual order of events, but, never- theless, two or three were held in Little Chapel during the fall term, the object of which was to stir up more spirit to be let loose in greater quantities at the games. The purpose was accomplished to some degree and considerable interest Avas shown. The outlook for athletics in Clarion Normal is more en- couraging at the present time than ever before. The prospect for support from the powers tliat be is brightening and when it shines sufiicifntly to produce the necessary coin, it will be a great day for the school. The ten acre lot lying south of the campus was recently purchased for an athletic field, and when properly improved will be one of the best athletic fields in this part of the state. 1908 Football Team.

In eoinpiiring this season ' s work with tliat of pasf vears it is necessary to consider the strengtli of the teams played as well as the resultant scores. It is safe to say that the Normal has never had a stronger team than the one which represented her this year. This fact is substantiated by the results of the games, especially those jjlayed the latter part ol ' the season. There being no man of the faculty to coach the team. Mr. George Arnold, of (Marion, undertook the task. He took charge of the squad at the beginning of the season and work- ed with patience and diligence surpassed only by his interest in the game. The undertaking which Mr. Arnold had before him was an exceedingly difficult one, for, although there was plenty of material, several of the candidates had never par- ticipated in a regular game, some even never having prac ticed. To him. without whose aid the team certainly would have been a failure, the Normal is deejily indebted. It would be unfair to proceed farther without mentioning Prof. l?5teelc who so creditably filled the position of manager. His aim was to secure games with high class teams, teams with which it was a credit to play. Ha also assisted in the coaching when for any reason the coach would not be present. The first two or three games showed considerable weak- ness in catching points and in interference. There seemed also to be a marked tendency to fumble in scrimmage, and as this generally happencl at the critical moment, the re- sult was disastrous. There is some excuse, however, for poor playing at first in the fact that the men were new to each other and, as aforesaid, soma of them were new to the game. To offset this discouraging start, the latter part of the season showed wonderful improvement. The individual play- ing was better, and the team work can hardly be compared with that of the first part of the season. After all is said, it is the team work as a unit that counts in the gridiron game, a team ' s strength invariably being measured by its ability to work as an individual. The season is past but another is coming and it is hojied that tlie team next year has even better support than the previous ones have had. Although students and faculty have been loyal in the past there is still room for improvement — a chance to show more spirit and in many ways encourage the young men who are struggling for the honor of the school. Football will do more to develop the inner man than any other game. It makes a man self-reliant; it makes him strong in mind and body; it gives him courage to meet the battles of life; and, best of all, it teaches him that he must take his own part in the game of living and that he must con- sider his fellow creature as well as himself. BASE-BALL Baseball Review. In point of the nunibei- of important victories gained the season of 1908 goes down in Chiriou ' s baseball annals as the most successful one in recent years. Under the efficient coaching of Fitzgerald the nine quickly developed into a fast team. During the entire season, Normal lost but two games — both to the strong Clarion team whicli is composed of Has- Beens from large leagues. The team lost one of its strongest men upon the grad- uation of Rajip. He had developed into a wonder; with that strong right arm he made his victims lay down the stick in one, two, three order. Toward the close of the season some of the boys had developed into heavy hitt n-s, Edmonson and Peters having many long hits to thiir (icdil. Among the old fellows who are back for Ihis season ' s work is McOauley. But here a word or two of explanation is necessary. We all know his ability both as a back-stop and as a coaclier, fui- Ik is unsurpassed in twenty counties for his wide vocab ilary while on the coaching lines. Then there is little Jiniiiiy Huglu ' s, a pi-actical demonstration of the fact that valuable articles sometimes come in small packages. And Buster Brown — we are all aware of his great speed and, if he does not make good, we ' ll plod the blame upon the little girl at the side lines. Peters and Edmonson are capable of holding down their respective positions, providing they do not neglect practice for strolls down the riverside with — never mind, we shall mention no names. Good old Jake Graham is back with his mighty paw, which he wields so skillfully. We look forward to the season of 1909 as one of bril- liant success with many of the old fellows back and many new candidates on the field for try-outs.

Iiiniiediatel - after the close oT tUe rootball sdason, bas- ket ball practice was begun. The outlook for a fast team was very gratifying from the first, four of last year ' s team being on tli. floor again. This bright prospect was strengtliened by the fact that a sti-ong second team was present — a team which could make the haughty firsts hustle for thsir money, sometimes even trailing their pride in the dust by defeating them. The practice was always fast, and would have been a good model for some of the outside teams which played at ( larioii. With such conditions prevailing it is easy to nid, ' i ' stand how the Normal came into possession of the team which made such easy prey of its victims. Woon after the season opened, new suits were purchased. Oh, those suits ; they were the cause of more big feeling than all the caps and gowns of the Seniors of ' (18. The happy wearers strutted around proud as peacocks, hardly caring to look at ordinary mortals. But the pride in the suits was dis- placed later by that arising from games well played and won. With on, ' excc]ition the season was an unbroken series of victories lor ( . S. X. S. The oue defeat was infiicted by Beechwoods High School, and was due to the fact that the Clarion boys were not accustomed to shooting against wire fencing for a background. Baechwood, however, received her own with usury when she came to Clai ' ion for the return game. The ]iei-.sonnel of the team is as follows: — Harry ' orbett. ' 10, captain and forward. Corbett was on last year ' s team and he could be depended on for steady playing at any time. Although Harry never was a spectacular player, he always disjilnyj d coolnc.-is and reliability, and no doubt will be the strong man in next year ' s team. lion Tingling, ' 09, forward, was somewhat inclined to jilny l)y spurts, but, as a rule, could be depended upon for a good game. Don shone for making the basket from the most unexpected positions. ' An- Edmonson, ' 0?, was also in last year ' s team and will probably be the hub of the wheel next year. He was a star throughout the entire season and never failed to register his goodly share of points. The Normal played no team that had a man to beat him at the pivot position. «!uy Gar.son, ' 08, played a good game last year and did not detract from his record this season. As guard he always kept his man covered and made him earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Emil Miller, ' 11, the star guard, though entering school rather late was not long in displaying his clever ability. It we can judge from the applause they received Em and Sack were evidently the favorites of the team. Fred Ashe, ' 11, guard and forward, was always good at center. Freddie was always doing the thing most unexpect- td with the result that his man never knew where to find him. Harold Kallentine, mascot, was unquestionably the brightest star of the constellation. Some of the scrubs who deserve mention are Ogden, ■00, McNutt, 00, C. Dotterrer, ' 09, Mack, ' 10, Graham, ' 10, Mayes, ' Id, and W. Dotterrer, ' 09. Xevcr before did a season close with brighter prospects I ' or a strong team the following year, and we earnestly wish that next year ' s team may not only continue the good record, but raise the standai ' d for C. S. N. S. still higher. Tennis Association. Pricsidext, Don ' . Viii5;liii ; ' . X ' lcio 1 ' uks., I ' fdi-o Hivibanie. SEciiETAKV. Maraii ' i ' l l Mmy. Truastrer. Emil Miller. Eugene Metz George C.

Raymond Hiribarne, ' 00, entered the Clarion State Normal School in March, 1906. He at once took an active part in athletics and the following season became much interested in football. AVhen we think of Pede coming from Havana, Cuba, in the fall of 1905 and knowing nothing of football, jet being able to entei the Normal team as left end in 1906, it is tlieu we realize his ability. In his first game, which was against the champions of Western Pennsylvania, he brot the spectators to their feet more than once by his phenomenal playing. At one time in this game he carried the ball in a forward pass, making a gain of fifty yards. Since then his true worth has been known. He has played in tlie same position for three consecutive years and no preparatory school, of Western Pennsylvania boasts a better left end. His speed and aggressiveness on the defense prove him a hard worker on the gridiron with both brain and muscle.

Tell me not in mournful numbers The breaking waves dashed high; For the gods see everywhere, Like a diamond in the sky. Life is real, lite is earnest; Maude Muller, on a summer ' s day, Had two stone bottles found A mile or so away. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow ; All service ranks the same with God ; But childish troubles will soon pass by The hills our fathers trod. Art is long, and Time is fleeting; In fact, there ' s nothing that keeps its youth. To see the form of a maiden fair And the fierv heart of youth. In the world ' s broad field of battle. Long has it waved on high; The rich man ' s son inherits cares — There, little girl, don ' t cry. Trust no future, howe ' er pleasant! I ' ' or what is so rare as a day in June? He prayeth best who loieth best Thy turned-up pantaloons. Lives of great men all remind us Paths of glory lead but to the grave; Stone walls do not a prison make, I could not deem myself a slave. Footsteps, that perhaps another Wandering ' round this world of care, Unwarned by any sunset light. Thy creatiire whom I found so fair. Let us, then, be up and doing. By the rude bridge which arched the Hood; Like one who lies down to pleasant dreams Defects of doubt, and taints of blood. 117 The Way In. A is for apple butter, sticky and sweet. B for the biscuits we liardly can eat. for the coffee, the crackers, the cream. D for the dishes, they ' re never washed clean. E for the eggs we get when they ' re cheap. F fried potatoes, they ' d make a man weep. G for the grub, we wish we were dead. H for the holes we find in the bread. 1 for the ice cream, to mention it ' s sin. J for the jelly, in glass jars put in. K for the kitchen, the kicking, the kraut. L for the lettuce, we ' ll get that no doubt. M that ' s for mush we get in the morn. N for nothing, as sure as you ' re born. O for the oysters that are served Friday eve. P for potatoes, with skins, I perceive. Q the queer looks of worry and care. R for the roast beef, that ' s never cooked rare. S for the salad, the syrup, the soup T for the turnips, they ' d give you the croup. U is the underfed students who eat. V is the victuals and veal so sweet. W the words the poor students say. X is the excellent mustard each day. Y is the butter, yellow and gold. Z is the Zest, that is both stale and old. Now this was the menu at Clarion State, But it ' s been cut down for some things we ate. But then it ' s not bad for a small child ' s diet, So if you wish to live longer do not come to try it. Tho of course the school is the best in the state And the board and the lodging they cannot be bate, ' No not even broken with hammer and tongs, — But for fear of expulsion, I ' ll here end my song. The Boarding Department. The one indispensable department of our Knowledge Dispensary is the department through the intricate working ot which we receive thrice daily a sample of what the grocerymen of Clarion would like to sell. Every morning at 6 :30 a. m. when the deep, sonorous tones ot the bell peal out from the tower of Seminary Hall, each student meekly arises from his soft, downy bed and whets his teeth in preparation for the chewing match he knows to be at hand, meanwhile wonder- ing whether it will be mush, fried potatoes, hash, pancakes, beefsteak, sausage, boiled eggs, toast or review. The comfort- ing thought is that not more than two of these will be forced upon him at one meal. A passerby can readily tell when we have been so fortunate as to receive beefsteak for everyone is frantically running about trying to find a fence rail, tele- phone pole or any implement with which he may pry out tough, stringy muscles of the bovine which have become entan- gled about his bicuspids. At one time the star boarder so far forgot his manners that, when asking for the muffins which were a part of the lunch, he asked for the precious gems thinking no doubt of their weight rather than of their value. The most substantial part of the dinner is the dishes which are often ornamentally scalloped around the edges by the dish-washing machine, but which can never be put entire- ly out of commission by the strenuous efforts of those whose aesthetic sensibilities do not properly appreciate the fancy decorations of the china. Once upon a time a dish was ac- tually broken. The cause of this dire catastrophe was gravity which acted upon the butter dish after the poohissant butter had unceremoniously carried it over the edge of the festive board. The pie crusts are of such a friendly nature that they never let anything come between them. The only objection to the doughnuts is that the circumferences of the two concen- tric circles are too close together. The Freshman often knocks because the eggs are not fresh also, but he has no kick coming because they have been in storage only two years. The only thing on the tables which might foster intemperance is State Aid (apple butter) in which a chemical change has taken ]ilace. Potatoes are served in various ways, the most common of which are frying, and boiling, without removing the cuticle. They have usually received an application of H20 sufficient to remove the largest particles of terra flrma which the far- mer donated to tlie department. One time in the history of this department when its praise cannot be told with sufficient eloquence, is at Thanks- giving. Several weeks before and several weeks after.ward we fast, but when the time is at hand all hardships ai ' e for- gotten — turkey, potatoes, cranberries, pie, fruit, ices, and ev- erything that is ever included in a Thanksgiving menu, is set forth in abundance. The visitors carry away the idea that the catalogue is truthful when it says: Good substantial board, thoroughly cooked and properly seasoned is provided in prac- tically unlimited quantities. The same yesterday, today and forever. — Heli. 13 :8. Senior Qirls Estimate of the Senior Boys i a 1 a a 3 tr a etc ' S 1 o p.

The Indian Club, when found at home, in the gymnas- ium, is one of the most peaceful little instruments that one would wish to see. But when it goes visiting it loses all its innocence and becomes an object of the greatest suspicion. At. least, that is what Dr. Egbert says, and Dr. Egbert has never been known to be mistaken in anything. yeU. this Indian Club bi-oke away from its fellow clubs and made a call on the fellows in one of the rooms of tlie third floor of the boys ' dorm, and, being well treated, decided to remain there for a while. But one night about nine o ' clock, it grew restless and rolled out into the hall. The room was located on the corner of the building and on that particular evening the hall window happened to be raised. Jfo sooner had the club rolled into the hall than a gust of wind, coming through the open window, caught it and car- ried it through the air at a terrific rate toward the other end of the corridor. Since the acting force was continuous, its mo- tion was accelerated; and continued so until the club came in contact with Craig ' s door. The crash was plainly heard in all parts of the building as well as cries of Help! Murder! and Earthquake! which came from the interior of the room. The cause of the disturbance, when found, lay in the hall just op- posite the bath room, and looked as innocent as it did before the noise was heard. All the boys except Pede turned out to see what had happened, but were soon quieted by Prof. Egbert who ex- plained the matter by saying that it was nothing more than the prank of a lively Indian Club. Pede was not .seen for two days and after the door of his room had been broken in he was pulled out from under the bed and was asked for an explanation. He said he had gone up on third to see one of the boys and just as he stepped to the top of the stairs an aeroplane whizzed by with sncli velocity that his face was shaved clean of a week ' s growth of whiskers and that he thot the world must be coming to an end. The Indian Club ap- I eared later in tlie usual place in the Gym where it is care- fully guarded from any more alarming escapades. Dates to be R en embered. •January 2C, 1900.

Fried jjotatoes will be served in the C. S. N. S. dining room for the last time. Come early. A house meeting was held on the day after Easter Sunday at which time some dry jokes were cracked by Prof. ■Wilkinson, assisted by Prof. Egbert and Prof. Steele. It is arranged for Beck and Prof. Egbert to have a quarrel in Grammar on March 12. All should see this rare ( ?) happening. A Spin on the P. S. 8 C. The last vacation of the year had come and all the students were in high spirits to depart. Twelve miles of their journey lay along the Pittsburg, Suramerville and Clar- ion railroad in a most delightful farming section. With Clar- ion as its western terminus and Summerville as its eastern, this road is located to accommodate, and therefore makes connections with as many of the smaller towns of the county as possible. Flag stations such as Brush Run and Rader ' s Crossing are numerous. A large station has been erected at Clarion and every attention is given to the traveling public. Here green tickets may be purchased for Strattanville, Water- son, Holden and intermediate points at the exceedingly low rate of five cents per mile. The coaches are large, rustic cars comfortably furnished. A large coal stove in one corner of the coach supplies the heat, and a nail keg suffices for a coal bin. The seats are plush-covered and betray their age by the closely worn nap. The arms of the seats are metal wrought in some oriental design. At 10 :30 a. m. the train whistled to start, but on ac- count of the great number of passengers it was unable to move, so they decided that Mr. Shoup must wait in Clarion until the next day. Such leave-takings were a sight to behold ; hand-shakes, waving good-byes and embraces, with the accom- panying marks of affection. The train now began to click over the rails and the first five minutes were spent in finding suitable seats. How strangely it all resulted: On the front seat to the right sat Wm. and Kate; way back in the corner Robert and Ellen were deeply engrossed in conversation; nearer the center sat Mr. Metz and Jennie, Mr. Metz entertain- ing those nearest him with his accustomed humor. There was an occasional attempt at singing a class or school song, led by Marge and Joanne. In fact it was the romantic side of Normal life in a homely railroad coach. All this threw the commercial men and other travelers in the shade. They soon retired from the embarassing situation to the smoker and there leisurely puffed their meerschaums. Brush Run soon appeared in sight and all eyes (a few excepted) were turned to see the wonderful place. This being a Cag station the flyer did not stop, but sped on toward Strat- tanville, an interesting town — to those concerned. Not long after this they reached a small mining town. Here they were side-tracked while the engine shifted some empty flats to the tipple. The loaded cars were coupled to the coach and taken to Summerville. When they came to Waterson everybody was interested for the railroad passes through the center of the lown thus affording a view of Main Street and its principal buildings. At Holden, Mr. Glenn, Miss Kyle and Miss Cum- mings were ushered oft ' the train. The engine now sped on some faster and soon the conductor called out Carrier, Car- rier, and immediately Lena replied What do you want? It was now almost twelve o ' clock. A few minutes later they rushed into the station at Summerville, having made the trip in one hour and thirty minutes, a remarkable record. There was no time lost in dismounting and the P. S. C. was entirely forgotten in their eagerness to enter more coh- genial coaches. 136 A Statement to the Public. During the winter term I ventured to allow my upper lip to remain unshared — in a word, I grew a mustache. This had been sufjf;est( 1 to me at different times li.v the eminent Professdi- in UtcraluTv and lOii lish, stating it would be of much profit to me in securing a position for the year. There seemed to be nothing criminally offensive in my action, but on meeting those whom 1 once called friends, after an ab- sence of a few days, I realized how gross had been my error. They upbraided me as guilty of not only physical, but moral degeneracy, describing the carefully and tastefully curled hairs in all manner of objectionable ways. There are a few really original expressions which peo- ple use such as Where did you get that third eye-brow? Why don ' t you wash your upper lip? Your mouth looks mussy, and the like. Many people seem to think that their approbation or condemnation of one ' s hair-raising attempt will lead either to its eternal welfare or to its instant destruc- tion. Many beautiful women have said to me critically, I like it, in a voice from which I gathered that they expected the ends to grow instantaneously more curly. Many others have exclaimed, I don ' t like it, in a voice that fairly shriv- elled the roots. Another learned Professor had the kindness to inform me that it was bad form for undergraduates to wear hair on their faces. The blow fell stinging across my face, but my mustache did not quail. I thought he was only reprimanding me because he cannot grow hair on his shiny pate. During this course of procedure I ventured a trip to a place from which I had been absent for some time. The young lady on whom I called, on catching sight of me, said, You may choose between me and that hideous mustache, at once. There was no safe way of removing it Instantly so I beat a hasty retreat back to Clarion, almost heart-broken, and for- mulated the following law which was heartily endorsed by the first professor: Unmarried women want no mustaches. As the days wear on 1 grow wilder. The next man who asks me about my mustache will die in his tracks. I have never had leanings to anarchy or even to Socialism up to the present, but I begin more and more to undei-stand the position of the poor, downtrodden man who strives ever for freedom from persecution, and in another week 1 shall be a Black Hand leader, driven to desperation by the cruelty and per- secution of my friends.

Tlie following ' was found at the entrance of the Girls ' lloriuitory and since we are unable to And the author we pub- lish verbatim in liojfes of identification. Clarion, Pa., March 30, 1909. My dear Mama and Papa: A week ago I came liere, and tlie time has seemed n-i long as the lifetime of a Methuselah. Monday evening about six o ' clock I arrived here and was taken to the principal ' s ofBce in Seminary Hall. This is a big brick building with iron bars over some of the windows just like our jail at home. Dr. Becht came ovit to shake hands with me among the others. He told me how glad everyone was that I had come and asked me how I had enjoyed my leisurely journey through the beautiful scenery of Clarion County. He seemed to recognize right away that I was a talented person. Before long, a lady who came into the office. Dr. Becht introduced to me as one of the teachers, and she went to the girls ' dormitory with me. To reach it you must descend a steep precipice. t)n the way the teacher asked me if I had had my dinner, which I thought was a funny question to ask at that time of day. Why certainly, I had my dinner before I left Westville, but I haven ' t had any supper yet. So she took me into the dining room and I sat down at a table with some other students who had just come in. (I have found out since that they call supper dinner here, so you must re- member to say that when we have company.) I sat beside a tall girl at the table who said she was a Senior. She asked me about my wor-k and seemed very much interested in me. 1 told her that I was .sorry I would not be in her classes since I intended to take only Middle and Junior this term, although I might have taken Senior too as I had graduated from a Township High School. She thinks Physics takes a lot of work bnt I told her how easy it was for me, and that I had taught it at l}ome. (You remember the day Prof. Smith was called away while our class v as reciting, and I explained the next lesson for him.) She said that I must be terribly smart. I alway.s thought that my talents would be appreciated mon- if I lived in a larger sphere. One of the girls has come to do up my hair, so I must close. Please send me some money right away as I want four new rats. It takes a big one and at least three smaller ones to put on to]). And do send me something to eat or I will get so hungry that I will have to go home. I want chicken and cake and a lot of things. Now don ' t forget. Your loving, starving, homesick daughter, Dud. The Fire. At 9:1.5 p. ni. smoke was seen pouring from the chimney of Joe ' s store. Fifteen minutes later the dread fire whistle announced the inevitable conflagration. In less than one hour Hose Cart No. 1, of the West Ward, arrived at the scene. Hor rified at the spectacle, the crew swallowed liquid stimulants and plunged into the fray. A cheer burst from the assembled Ihrong as Oiptain B, of the West Ward, crawled boldly through the back door and met the situation face to face. A messenger was at once dispatched to Strattonville to get a Are extinguisher. Aid now arrived from Fisher, Frogtown, Limestone, Shippenville and Williamsburg. Engines were ordered to proceed over the 1 ' . S. ,!i ( ' . at full speed. The ex- citement was intense. 1 38 In the meantii] e tlie smoke increased in volume. At an informal meeting of tlve Firing Crew at the Normal, a committee consisting of the Enterprise editors was appointed to lay out plan of cam])aign with full typewritten directions. At ll ' ;()() ]i. 111. tlie committee reported jn ' ogress. Suddenly :i hiisji ! Then cheer after cheer rent the air as, with whisth ' iioji wide open and grim determination writ- ten on each face, the Are extinguishers, Upham and Miller, rushed on the scene and got wedged in between the Auditor- iiiJii and a wire fence. At tliis jioint tlic wareliouse wireless station came into communication with the wireless station at Sunimerville and received the following message from the engines: We have no crooked wood to fire o ' er your road. This seemed to spell certain destruction. The Enterprise committee now reported that either the house must be jiulled down or the chimney wallsJ up. Bowman hurriedly called two uiiiou masons, the Thompsons, by telephone. Messages of condolence poured in from all foreign powers. Joseph Relief Stam])s were printed at Dotterrer ' s printing otHce and put on sale by Zuendel at Uncle John ' s store, at one cent each. Jim I ' inks took charge of the funds. Rapidly the scalfolding was erected on the roof of the ill-fated biulding. Tire crowd stood bi ' ( athless as the chim- ney was walled up. It was now (;;(l(l a. m. To the conster- nation of Fire Chief (ieorge, of the Hill, smoke began to pour from all the windows. At this point Yingling and Alfred ap peared at the front with reinforcements from the dining room and distributed hot dogs to the exhausted firemen and crowd at a small change. Siiddenly the fire went out. .Jacky and Dad now ajipean d on the scene thanking the fire fighters for their gooil work and offered to set up the drinks, where- u|ioii two barrels of water were given out gratis. The damages were sustained as follows: 2 shingles pulled out | .15 I chimney obstructed 1.75 1 shine I ' or I ' pham 10 1 pair shoe strings 05 Total I 2.05 The Value of a Bluff.
