XLhc Carontawan Hlias £be Xittle Gown on the Ibill MANSFIELD STATE COLLEGE LIBKAK1 IKIlO. ci «jtiv «i Softly the last, long, lingering rays Aie lighting the little town — The campus dreams in the golden light Of the West, where the sun goes down. Softly the breezes whisper — The cool, dim shadows fall, As the gold of the western sunset sky Drifts over the old school wall. Just as the last, long, lingering rays Are gilding these towers old — So the light of the days we have lived and loved Are flooding our paths with gold. Old memories stir and whisper — Our youth in its gladness sings, As Memory ' s golden fingers Drift over our sad heartstring-s. For Love, at our schoolday ' s end looks down, And illumines your pages, Carontawan. E. E. M. 20330 DEDICATION To Herbert Grant and Mrs. Grant in recognition of the faithful service which they have given at M. S. N. S. and as a token of our esteem we, the class of ' 20, affectionately dedi- cate this Carontawan. Merle Cogswell Grant Herbert Grant MERLE COGSWELL GRANT HERBERT GRANT Herbert Grant was born at Arnot, Pa., February 10, 1883, where he spent the early years of his life, receiving ' his education in the public schools. From there he came to Mansfield and graduated in 1905. The next few years of his life were spent in teaching, first at Landrus, 1905-06, then at Arnot where he was principal of schools and instrumental in establishing a high school, 1906-08; from there he went to Westfield where he rendered invaluable service by helping to establish the high school, 1908-13. His summers were spent at Cornell, Penn State and University of Pennsylvania, where he succeeded in working off the first two years of his college course. In 1913 he entered Columbia University and was graduated in 1915 with the B. S. degree. In the fall of the same year he came to Mansfield to accept the position as head of the Science Department. After two years of faithful, efficient service he was made Vice Principal; this position he still holds. Mrs. Grant, formerly Miss Merle Cogswell, was born at West Auburn, Susquehanna county, on April 29, 1886. She received her grammar school training in the public schools cf that county. In 1903 she entered Mansfield State Normal, and graduated in 1906. The following year she taught in the public schools of Lancaster county. From there she returned to her home town where she taught in the schools. On March 25, 1908, she married Mr. Giant. At present she is Critic of reading and number work in the Model School where she renders faithful and efficient service, both to the pupils of the school and to the student teachers. Both Mr. and Mrs. Grant as splendid, earnest workers have labored willingly for the institution, have inspired the students with high ideals and true spirit and have won the gratitude of students, alumni and friends.

Our School is completing the most prosperous year of its career. Two new buildings, the Principal ' s residence and the Y house, have recently been erected on the campus. The Regular Normal and all the special departments are in a flourishing condition, as is evidenced by the fact that we are the largest class yet to leave these walls. In fact the signs point to an even greater success in the future than it has enjoyed in the past. The class of 1920 has studied and will be graduated in the most trying times the world has ever known; and because of this world unrest, it has had a doubly hard task to perform in completing the course of study required; but it will be repaid to a degree directly proportionate to the effort which it has put forth. The main body of the class, as juniors, began their work of acquiring a higher education when the war was at its height. The S. A. T. C. came and quite upset the regular order of things. Then we were attacked and after a hotly contested engagement completely repulsed without a single casualty the Spanish Influenza. But during our conquest with the epidemic, we as Americans won a greater victory. Our army and navy destroyed the great German war machine in a series of battles, the most spectacular, the most gigantic, the most ferocious, that the world had ever witnessed. Everybody was overjoyed when these victories were won. We hoped that industrial conditions would quickly and with little friction adjust themselves to a peacetime basis, that one might be able to live again. The period of reconstruction, however, has not proved to be such a Utopia as we under the stress of wartime anxiety, thought it would be. Strikes! strikes in the making or thieatened strikes worry the public. Literally whole armies of men engaged in basic industries have ceased work at a time when it would cause the most suffering, others have cons pired to stop the wheels of industry should their exorbitant demands be refused. Even policemen and firemen, the guardians of life and property, have violated their oaths of office, and refused to do the duty that they had sworn never to forsake. However, we can forgive 15 the wo: king public for their radical tendencies, when we reflect that their cause was just. Other internal and foreign affairs have almost defied our efforts at adjustment. The ratification of the League of Nations and Treaty of Peace issues have taxed the diplomacy of our countrymen. The Mexican situation remains unsolved. Russia almost helpless in the hands of the Bolsheviki has ruined her own national life, and has spread throughout the world, evan to our own old U. S. A., the germs of that awful mala ly — Bolshevism. Men say that the world is going mad. But such can not be the case, while there are so many people strong, mentally, morally, physically and religiously. Yet who will not agree with the poet, that: We are living, we ara dwelling. In a grand and awful time; When the age on ages telling, To he living is sublime. What is our part to play in this great drama of world events. We who have been privileged to look upon the suffering of humanity, with the view of learning to remedy its ills; we who are living at a time which demands of each good citizen his utmost earnest effort. We as teachers must be able to apply successfully that panacea for national ills, Americanism; we must by word and action do our utmost to relieve a suffering world from the grip of ignorance and faithlessness; so that the deplorable state of affairs which now exists will soon give place to a more contented and pros- perous condition; an d so that in the future, there will be no place left for discord to take root. We have tried to put into thess pages only the things which will recall the gayer side of our lives here and the personalities of friends the truest we shall ever know. We of the editorial staff have endeavored always to bear in our mind our aim and object; but through our inexperience, things incompatible with our purpose may have crept in. regardless of the fact that both the faculty and the class by their kind co-operation put an abundance of aid at our command. With the hope that you will find in this volume an accurate account of our school life together, we humbly present to vou this book of memories. To the Class of 1920 As we mingle with you in the closing days of your student life, and realize that you are soon going out into a larger field of responsibility and opportunities, we wonder what part you are going to take in the advancement of mankind. On you much of the burden and the hope of the future lests. Will you be driven with the winds of chance, or will you make the mo.-,t cf your limitless opportunities as teachers to contribute share to the slow structure of enduring progress? t i, If we could point out your path of endeavor, it would be filled with work that builds without destroying; with love, generous, asking no odds; with service so interwoven with your daily living that it is a part of your life. You are but a short distance from those days when men and women showed themselves equal to the supremest of all sacrifices for the betterment of life. From them you have learned new nobleness and it is for you to give yourselves to the advancement of mankind with the same glorious abandon as did they. You would keep as your ideal the belief of Citizen in The Pilgrim ' s Progress of Democracy. He believed that it is not that which a man has that matters but that which he is. If he be not right within, full of integrity, of high intent, of love of his neighbor, no outer rule nor government can set him right, nor any manner of possessions make a true man of him. After many trials and disappointments, Citizen, the Pilgrim, reached the summit from which ha could catch in the distance a glimpse of the Perfect City for which he had been searching. He saw that it was fashioned of the finer Dreams and the fairer Hopes of Mankind. Here he saw all men working happily because all had given up something of Desire. Nor did one Principle rule one day and another the next, according as it would bring more gain. Even though he was afar off he could see that men toiled eagerly for the love of their work — not for wage only. Peace and Prosperity reigned in that city because the law of the land was Love showing in deeds not words. Although the city remained always in the distance the heavy burden on his back was eased and he toiled hopefully on. If you go out from this school with such a standard before you, you will help to nettle much of the industrial and social unrest existing in our country today and you will help to bring America nearer to an ideal State of Democracy.

S., skillfully records the marks which decide our fate at Normal. 28 «R SENIORS BERNICE AINEY Fairdale, Pa. Athenaean Society. This fall our class was increased by the addition of this sweet, good-natured, ambitious student. Her win- ning smile has won for her the hearts of all who have come to know her. She loves music, for beside her regular Normal work she finds time to play the piano and violin. Yet, with all her work she is ever-ready, ever-willing to help those reaching out for aid. She likes good times, but is never forgetful of the motto, Duty before pleasure. AGNES ALLARDICE Meshoppen. I ' a. Athenaean Society, Elocution, Normal Course. Sweetie is her other name and the term applies to her disposition as well. She elocutes , studies dili- gently, plays tennis, and dances. We hear that she is especially fond of the letter M. Fair, wise and true shall she always be is our constant song. LAURA ALLARDICE Meshoppen, Pa. Athenaean Society, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Ambition is Laura ' s middle name. She is never idle, yet never too busy to help her friends. She can wield the paint brush and produce pleasing color har- monies. It is rumored that her big daik eyes almost annihilated certain erring fourth floor Junior girls last autumn. Laura is a good student and we feel sure she will be successful as a teacher. 31 ROSCOE AUSTIN Roaring Branch, Pa. Rock Emersonian Society; President Y. M. C. A.; Varsity Football. Here is Rock , our worthy and faithful President of the Y. M. His brains help him through the Ag class like his long- legs carry him over the football field. Although he is not very religious, he is often heard saying Grace . Here ' s to you Rock ! May your pleasant smile and happy-go-lucky way carry you through life as it did through M. S. N. S. MARGERY AYLESWORTH Liberty, Pa. Molly Athenaean Society. This affectionate, peaceful girl with light hair has very high ambitions. The highest of which is keeping house. Does Molly have a favorite color? I should say. it is Kelly green. She liked High School very much. Ask her why. Margery can sing,. If you don ' t be ' ieve it listen to her sometimes when she thinks she is alone, singing Has anybody here seen Kelly, Kelly from the L. H. S. DOROTHY BAKER Nelson, Pa. Emersonian Society. Here ' s the Dot of our class, but in no way is she a dot, for in her we find five feet of sunshine which is constantly shining, brightening the paths of others. Dorothy is kind of heart, unaffected in manner, sweet of disposition. Her stores of good sense and courageous spirit reveal to us a girl much to be desired as a real companion and friend. It is difficult to prophesy what Dot ' s future work will be, for frequently she receives ' letters of Merit , but the class of ' 20 wish her success and happiness. .2 JAY BALDWIN Mansfield, Pa. Athenaean Society; President of Senior Class; Busi- ness Manager of Carontawan. Jay is our class president, active, earnest, aggressive and loved by all who know him. He is quiet but there is something back of his quietness. Did you ever hear Jay tickla the typewriter? Well, drop around the business department some afternoon after school and you will see him industriously hammering the keys. No, he ' s not doing his lessons, but working on the class 1 ook. Jay has made a president that the class of ' 20 is proud of and we all wish him prosperity. MANDERVILLE BARTLE Mansfield, Pa. Mandy Emersonian Society; Orchestra. The Master Violinist . Manderville certainly de- serves this name. All will agree that Music hath charms after they have heard him play. He also has charms in many other ways, too, at least Benjamin says so. Mandy is always willing to help us out when we want a little jazz in the gym, and at Lit Society and Recitals he does his bit. We never are tired of hearing him play. We predict a bright future for you Mandy and may you never hang up the Fiddle and tha Bow. KATHRYN BAXTER Knoxville, Pa. Emersonian Society. This sweet maid hails from Knoxville. She appears veiy quiet and demure, but trust not too much to appearances, friends, for she is not always thus. She is a charming combination of independence, quiet dignity, and fun. Quite often she deserts us over a week-and and spins away to Knoxville. We heat- rumors of the wondeiful attractions of Knoxville which never Wayne . Here ' s to you Kathryn, ideal pal, and steadfast friend. May you have success. 33 MARK BEDFORD Forksville, Pa. Athenaean Society. Mark is one of the towering ' men of the class. Whan you see him coming clown the hall, you can tell him by his walk. His long strides remind you of a sailor ' s, But he says that the nearest he ever got to the sea was the showers on second. Mark has been a good, loyal, willing worker for the class and school and we take our hats off to him. HAZEL BENJAMIN Wellsboro, Pa. Athenaean Society. Here we have a tall, dark-haired damsel who lives on Fifth Floor from Monday until Friday, but week- ends Hazel wends her way homeward. We wonder why ? It has been said that other than a happy home and the female sex interest her there. Still waters run deep. Hazel is a good student. May happiness and success ever be yours. Hazel. HARRY BERGEN Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Berg Athenaean Society. Good looking, studious ( ? ) never looking for trouble, but when trouble comes his way, meeting it with a smile, that ' s Berg . Someone asked Harry if he liked fish and he replied, A Finn will do. He is liked by all and, although he is not an athlete, he takes part on stunt night, and the fellow who is able to stand against him with the gloves is considered a good boxer. Here ' s luck, Berg. 34 SYLVIA BISBEE Susquehanna, Pa. Athenaean Society. Sylvia is one of the quiet girls of the class but no one appreciates a good joke more than she. Besides being quiet, Bisbee is sensitive to a slight degree but a more generous girl you would not wish to find. She has a lot of school spirit, and is a very conscien- tious student. It is difficult to tell what Bisbee ' s future will be, but the class of 1920 wishes her success. ROY BIX BY Canton, Pa. Bix Emersonian Society; Chairman of the Membership Committee of the Y. M. C. A.; Treasurer of the Senior Class. You ' re never young but. once, says Bix , and we all have to agree that here is one fellow who practices what he preaches. He is one of those I don ' t care what happens sort of fellow, whose favorite pastimes are sleeping and bench tennis. His average program is two subjects, which indicates that he is not very studious, but watch him . Here ' s to Bix who does not care for a home, all he wants is a Roof . LUCY BLY Mansfield, Pa. Emersonian Society. This jovial, smiling, excitable girl walks one and one-half miles every morning to spend the day with us, then walks back at night. She surely must like us or maybe it is the studies she likes. Did you ever see Lu.cy when she wasn ' t studying? Very seldom. The Seniors ai e all wondering what the Day Students are going to do next year without her to make them laugh when they have nothing else to do. Good Luck, Lucy! 35 ANNA BOYLE Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Athenaean Society; Student Council. Just a little bit of Heaven fell from the sky one day. That is just what you think of after you ' ve made the acquaintance of this Daughter of Erin. She has a pair of eyes that speak of love and a com- plexion that usually accompanies a crowning glory of red. She ' s studious and enjoys life thoroughly. Last year Anna was a full-fledged believer of the Old Maid ' s Retreat, but rumor has it she has decided that it is impossible to travel the straight and narrow path without the support of a Kane . Go on, sweet maid, for it is all right. REGIXA C. BRANNIGAN Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Athenaean Society. Jean is a living example of the time worn phrase It ' s quality not quantity that counts. Her ninety- five pounds is bubbling over with energy and we must add distinctive humor. Boys, do you want a good housekeeper? Just take a peek into 340. Jean isn ' t the sort that consigns the Friday sweeping ' s to unheard of places. This brown-haired damsel is supposedly very quiet, but at the mention of some mischievous act her eyes dance with glee and we know that she has been an accomplice in the terrible deed. Success will be hers. GERTRUDE BRENNAN Bristol, Conn. Athenaean Society. Lovable, excitable, Gert , the life of Fifth Floor We believe that Gert is the type of the ideal school girl — youthfully slender, attractive, sunny, popular, sweet, courteous, trustful, full of fun, boy-loving and extremely fond of dancing. Oh how she can dance! We must not forget to add that Gert is unusually blight, her interests are broad and she does all with characteristic energy. She glories in all sports, rejoices in good times and stands high in all her classes. Love and good wishes, Gert ! 36 HARRY N. BRENNEN Carbondale, Pa. Podge Emersonian Literary Society. Well, here is old Podge back again! He graduated last year, but Mansfield held such an attraction for him that he came back to us to take the post graduate course. Harry is a favorite with his good humor and Irish wit, but that is not all, for he is very industrious and hopes to be a judge in Pittsburgh some day. Hence his interest in the parliamentary procedure of our meetings. We wish you success, Podge . HELEN BRISTOL Gillett, Pa. This studious, peaceful, true girl hails from Gillett to spend four years of her life with us at M. S. N. S. Very few of us know Helen ' s heart. Did you ever know her not to have her lessons or not to pass an examin- ation? No, Helen ' s mind is on her studies. Her favorite subject is Science . We don ' t know why, but we know her college days will be filled with success and happiness. HAROLD BROOKS Mansfield, Pa. Atheiaean Society; Chairman of the Social Commit- tee of the Y. M. C. A.; Assistant Business Manager of I he Y. M. C. A. News; Cheer Leader of 1919. Here ' s the cnly fellow that lives at the Normal the year around; all this because he learned K. P. as ser- geant in the S. A. T. C. Originality! That is his mid- dle name. As a comedian he has no equal in Mansfield. A prominent Lit. worker, land an inspiring cheer- leader. When lost on the sea of love, ask advice of Brooks. He ' s had experience. Brooks is a good, hard- working fellow, always helping whenever help is needed. These attributes insure success. 37 MAE I. BKYDEX Dorranceton, Pa. Piano; Kindergarten; Athenaean Society. Mae, with the optimistic spirit and happy laugh. She is as merry as sunshine itself. If you want a sym- pathetic friend go to Mae, who is ever ready with a cheer up. Mae is also a fine musician, her piano playing being- artistic and finished. Unconsicious of her talents she is unaffected by praise. We wish her future success. CELIA Bl ' LLARD Mainesburg, Pa. Lovable, kind and true-hearted Celia. True ? Yes, to one, anyway. Like most girls she has a Hobby , but unlike most girls her Hobby is a truck gardner. We always wondered why Celia liked vegetables so much. This light-haired girl always did her studying, but for all that she never forgot that A ring on the finger is worth two on the phone. Here ' s to Celia for a bright and happy future. LILLIAN BURGESS Olyphant, Pa. Athenaean Society; Music Supervisor ' s Course. Lillian is one of the talkative girls of the class. She chatters, chatters as she goes. Delighted is she when she can imitate someone and good is she at her trade. Lillian is good-natured, kind-hearted, and is easy to become acquainted with. While at Normal most of her interest is devoted to the art of music. In the future we expect to hear of her supervising music in some public school. Success, Lillian. 38 JOHN J. BURNS Miners Mills, Pa. Bobby , Doany Athenaean Society; Dance Committee. Bobby came from the heavt of the coal region in (he fall of ' 18. He readily reached the hsaits of the boys through his good-naturedness and sunny smile. V. T e all wonder why Bobby is always singing Sweet Fmmalina, My Gal, The fair sex are always looking for Bobby at noon, and in the evening. There ' s a reason — he brings them mail from the male. He is happie-t when he has a novel in his hand, and by this we think he will surpass the works of his great ances- tor, Bobeit Burns. We wish you oceans of luck. ELIZABETH BUTTON Nicholson, Pa. Athenaean Society; Business Course. The only time Elizabeth is heard is when she is typewriting, and she, well, we are told she goes at the rate of 2:40. But often her mind wanders, who would think it, to Siberia. We wonder why. But she is a jelly good girl when you know her and we wish her success. ETHEL CAMPBELL Waverly, N. Y. Emersonian Society; Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Carontawan. Th ; s tla k-haired. dark-eyed maiden is our Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the Carontawan. She is forever bubbling over with energy. Ever-ready, ever-willing is she to help the school, and the class in every phase of work. The class of ' 20 will always remember her for Ethel is cne of its shining lights, a friend and rtudent in every sense of the word. We are sure suc- ' cess and good luck will be hers. 39 FRANK CADDEN Scranton, Pa. Athenaean Society. One of our lady-killers who seems to be very popular in North Hall. Although noted not for his great in- terest in studies, yet he is sometimes seen with a book, but seldom is it open. He believes in the old saying, You are never young but once, so here goes , and he sure lives up to his motto. He is not noted for being musical, yet he is often heard singing, Oh, Lois, Be Mine in a voice almost pathetic. We are all sure he will make a place for himself wherever he may be. FLORENCE CALHOUN Galeton, Pa. Music Supei-visor ' s Couise; Athenaean Society. Behold the great black eyes and jet black hair of this conscientious and persevering young lassie. Here we find a tiue M. S. N. S. girl with a great purpose, untiring effort and skill. Just ask Florence how to clean a room. We all believe there ' s a method in her madness. I wonder why she ' s always talking about some Jay(ke) in her sleep. It was rumored along in the fall that Florence was considering putting up a placard Sweaters mended here. How did anyone know she could mend sweaters, we wonder? ALICE CANNON Mansfield, Pa. This is Alice, quiet, good-natured Alice. Last year she was one among us living in the dormitory of North Hall but this year the Cannon went off and she now lives in the borough of Mansfield some distance from the school upon the hill. Her daily walks make her fresh and bright and thus we behold her with her cheery smile. Here ' s luck to you, Alice. 40 MILDRED CARLEY Ulysses, Pa. Athenaean Society. Quiet, light haired, peaceable Mildred. Peaceable? Yes, never saw her angry in the two years she has been here. Did we hear some one whisper, She is charming. Be careful and don ' t look too pleasant when you go by Roses ' store, Mildred. If anyone should happen to ask her which store in Mansfield sells the best shoes, I am sure she would direct them to Roses ' . Don ' t get too Stearn in your future. MABEL CHAFFEE Potterville, Pa. Athenaean Society. Silence is golden. Mabel is one of the quietest girls of the class. Sel- dom is she heard to speak and when she does her voice is sweet and low, yet very distinct. Mabel ' s black, cur- ly hair, her small physiognomy and her extreme neat- ness make her attractive. She has one weakness and that is primping . A truer friend and a more loyal companion you could not wish to find. Best wishes, Mabel. ODELL CHAFFEE Potterville, Pa. Emersonian Society. Well, here is Chaffee. Although he is a little late, as usual he gets there and actually surprises some folks. Unlike most fellows he has no eye for feminine beauty and we sincerely hope he will not stray from this path. He has a way in Model School that we believe the pupils will remember. He is a good student, although he thinks one should be in the open most of the time. Here ' s to you, Chaffee , may your life be full of happiness. 41 GRACE CHURCH Roulette, Pa. Peaches Athenaean Society. Who is this tall young lady taking her own way in the direction her duties call har, such as senior proctor on second floor? Grace loves a good laugh. Laugh and grow fat is her motto. Her calm and rather se- rious face appears almost austere at times; but it take: ' , litt ' .e investigation to discover in Grace a very enjoyable companion. As her hopes are to be a school ma ' am, may success follow her through life. 1 AMCE CLARK Mansfield, Pa. •Man- Oli! what a gal is Jan, Oh! what a pal is she; Chum and friend right to the end; Chuck full of loyalty. Does she play? Does she dance? Dees .-be give ( the Clarks ) a chance? Do - she? I ' ll say she does. Tall and stately is this fair lass. Many talents does she possess, especially in the literary and musical world. BELLE CLAKKSON Lennoxville, Pa. Emersonian Society. Though the world were e ' er so better Her smile could make it sweeter. Belle was not with us last year for : he was a junior in ' IK, and so the class of ' 20 are glad to have her as a member. Her humorous sayings, and her hearty laugh are as a panacea for the Normal Blues. Belle is a faithful worker, a good student and a good debater, especially on the topic, Styles Are More Harmful Than Tobacco. We wish you good luck and success, Belle. 42 GLADYS COBB Scranton, Pa. Cobby Athenaean Society. A sunny disposition, And effervescing ' glee, Makes a jolly, joyful maiden, — Such a maiden now is she. Gladys graduated last year in elocution and well do we remember her many clever and interesting read- ings. This year she graduates in Regular Normal and fourth year High. A good student, a true companion, a combination of wit, humor, seriousness and fun, is Cobby . AGNES COLLERAN Jessup, Pa. Athenaean Society. A sweet disposition and a loving heart. A slender, light-haired miss is Agnes, ever the same. Never have we seen her quiet, peaceful, good- natured self upset. She takes life calmly, never allow- ing her pleasures to interfere with her studies nor her studies to interfere with her pleasure. We predict a happy future for you. HAROLD COLLIER Williamsport, Pa. Emersonian Society. One of our leading actors and a lady-killer with red wavy hair. We wonder how he gets that artistic wave in it. He is always willing to do his part and it may be he will be one of America ' s leading actors in the near future (????). Althought not athletic he is often seen wending his way toward the tennis court with overcoat, gloves, and rubbers. He is also fond of short vacations and seems to be deeply interested in music just at presents because we lately heard he was trying his best to find a flat . Here ' s luck, Old Top. 43 Susquehanna, Pa. ANNA COLWELL Athenaean Society. Anna joined our class this year as a full-fledged senior after completing her junior year by taking two spring courses. Anna has fluffy light hair, sparkling eyes, a sweet manner, pleasant ways, and just enough spunk to make you like her. A diligent student, a faithful worker and a good teacher is Anna. We know she w 11 succeed in life. JANIE COLWELL Susquehanna, Pa. Athenaean Society. Another Colwell, yes — and a sister to Anna, but just a trifle different. She came to us a quiet, reserved maiden, and thus she still is. She studies hard, yet is not a grind, for she has time to for other things, too. Never is Janie caught hurrying or lagging, but she moves steadily and easily toward the goal. HARRY COREY, JR. Troy, Pa. Corey , Old Man , Bud Emersonian Society; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. Here ' s Old Man Corey from Troy. H3 says he can manage a Load-er two, and we believe it. Corey is always present at gym socials, movie parties and all social affairs. Harry is an active student, somewhat studious, but not to the extent of its doing him any harm. He is chairman of the house committee of the Y. M. C. A. and by his hands the Y house is ready for use all the time. We like you, Corey. 44 LEORA COREY Troy, Pa. Athenaean Society. Leora is one of the busy members of the Y-D-Wakes who room in Fifth Floor Hospital. Never do you find her idle, if she is not studying she is crocheting, tatting or lending a helping hand to her many true friends. Leora loves to sing and greatly do we enjoy it when her sweet alto voice is blended with the Y-D-Wake Quar- tette. A gentle manner and a pleasing voice are Leora ' s. MYRTLE CRUES Old Forge, Pa. Athenaean Society. Where is thy learning — hath thy toil O ' er books consumed the midnight oil ? Nay! Nay!! This is Myrtle, free from care and happy as the day is long. She enjoys life thoroughly and lives for the dance. Watch her when the music begins. She is generous, kind, loving, sweet, and a friend to everone. Hosts of friends are here. May luck go with this neat, black-haired maiden from Old Forge. MYRTLE DARROW Granville Summit, Pa. Athenaean Society; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. She ' s sweet of disposition, She ' s loving, true and kind, She ' s full of true affection, She cannot be defined. This is Myrtle Darrow. One of the best beloved of the class, always willing, always ready to help in every kind of work, whether social or literary. Competent, dependable and efficient is she. 45 LUCILE DAVIES Scranton, Pa. Cile , Dolittle Often seen doing the light fantastic around the gym, tripping down the corridor and recognized by her merry giggle. We can ' t, imagine our little Cile as a dignified school maim. But still the wonder grows Hew one small head can carry all she knows. RUTH DAVIES Blossbur K , Pa. Commercial Course. Whatseover thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. Ruth ' s activities suggest to us these words, for you should see at what rate she typewrites. She can even beat the Erie! Oh, say, did you ever notice her regulation navy middy and tie? Just ask her where she sot them ami I bet she ' ll exclaim, Oh, Jim ' (eny! Such fun tn tease her about it, or ask her why she likes the West! Responsible and genial, a bit distant and cold at first, but she thaws. Best of luck to you. 1111 DRED DAVIS LeRaysville, Pa. Athenaean Society. No, Mildred never has much to do whan she can find a book to read. She even reads before breakfast. We can always tell when she is in the hall as she is always .singing and appears happy and contented at all times. She is good to look at, isn ' t she? Likeable, lively, and full of fun. Success to her is our true wish. 46 JAMES DEMPSEY Olyphant, Pa. Demy , Pack Athenaean Society; Varsity Basketball. You would naturally think that this lad was a prize fighter, but you aie mistaken for it is Demy , our ever-present Demy , who is so fond of gym socials and a back seat in the movies. Demy is full of fun and is always aeady for a good rough game of basket- ball, or a boxing match in somebody ' s room. He is well-liked by all in M. S. N. S. and we are glad to hear he is going to some higher school next year. CHARLOTTE DEPEW Jermyn, Pa. Charlie Alhenaean Society. Charlie of the brown eyes that invite friendships and flash out warnings to Model School offenders. Her associates know what that pensive look means — it comes whan her thoughts are with me co-ed school known as the Wyoming Sem . Charlie is just a dynamo of school spirit, she occupies the front bench in the bleachers and yells forth her enthusiasm. Did you ever stand next to her at a song service? You ' d be surprised at the notes that issue from her voice box. In conclusion we might say that Charlie is a good student, and has lots of pep. She has heaps of friends, too, who will not forget her. DOROTHEA DILLS Duryea, Pa. Athenaean Society. Dills, the generous! She never was known to possess a selfish streak! She ' d give you the last cent she had, the last stamp, the last of anything she possessed Spreads are her delight and the delight of her lucky fiiends. Full of wit is Dot , happy and jolly as tha day is long. She is Comic Editor and she has worked hard and faithfully for this book. (Believe it or not. this very moment in she came, bearing a huge dish of pink ice cream.) Dills ! Dills ! Here ' s to her! 47 I STHKI! DOBSON Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Emersonian Society. Esther, the name signifies good fortune , and we indeed, count it ou r good fortune to be the classmates of this black-haired, flashing-eyed girl. Jolly and fun- loving is she — usually; but she has a temper, and woe to the erring youngster who inflames her wrath. Standing high in her classes she is one of our best students, and her ability to prove her point in Arith- metic and Grammar fairly astound us. Bu withal she finds time to be a good friend, ever-ready to assist anyone in any way she can. Our best wishes go with her. RUTH DOTTER Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Rufus Emersonian Society; Carontawan Board. Ruth is the kind who brings sunshine into the lives of others and spills some on herself. Her sunny dis- position, unassuming mannar and quiet courtesy have brought her a host of friends. She neither laughs, nor smiles, nor grins — she giggles , and so does every one near her, for that giggle is contagious. Neverthe- less, we must not forget to mention Ruth ' s high schol- astic ability and standing, for she is an all-around good girl. BLANCHE DOUGHERTY Old Forge Pa. Doc Athenaean Society; Cheer Leader. This is Doc . She could reveal such escapades as would make your hair stand on end and your blood run cold. Probably many a mysterious Normal act lies protected by the bones of her cranium and will come to light when the said Blanche Reta Dougherty ' s name is added to the Alumni roll. Doc doesn ' t tell all she knows. She has an excessive amount of pep that isn ' t fully appreciated by some of the inmates of The University. We like you Doc , for your kindness and good fellowship. Heaps of luck to you. 48 MARGARET DOUGLAS Hettor, Pa. Emersonian Society. She seems a quiet maiden, but then appearances are often deceiving ' . She never allows her good times to interfere with her work as she devotes a grsat deal of time to her lessons. Because of her willingness to work and her many fine abilities, we know she will succeed, and wish her all the good luck possible. ALICE DUNNIGAN Avoca, Pa. Athenaean Society. Hare we see Fifth Floor ' s Alice of Wonderland . Such she is, for where else could a girl with such snappy eyes and mischievous smile, have hailed from? But Alice, please don ' t talk so loud when you are about to enter the elevator; for we remember the day you proudly strutted into the el and cried Faculty first! — then to your surprise and despair you looked around only to behold Miss Atwater coming in behind you. But we are glad to stats, her forgiving smile soon revived you. Best wishes for you, our Alice of Wonderland. VERONICA A. DWYER Morris Run, Pa. Vera Emersonian Literary Society. Vera is a true bunch of sweetness and good humor with an Irish wit that can dispel the darkest, blackest cloud of gloom. She brightens the way with her fun and laughter, and with her disposition — amiable, cheer- ful, delightful and pleasure-loving. A dependable sort of person is Vera with poise and capacity for carry- ing much responsibility. She is ever ready to lend a helping hand, and will be remembered as a loyal friend and a diverting companion. Our love and good wishes, Veronica! 49 BESSIE EVANS Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Athenaean Society. Bessie is a slender maid of medium height, with a fair complexion, grey-biown eyes and auburn hair. At le sons she is sober and studious, but is quite ready for a good time when the opportunity presents itself, in spite of her manner of quiet reserve which fits well on the shoulders of a proctor, as on those of a student tea her. She a ' .ways loans a helping hand whea called upon and is quite a model of efficiency. Bessie aspires to be a good violinist as well as a good teacher, and with her lcve of music, 1 eady sympathy and unwaver- ing endeavor, we aie sure she will succeed in a large measure. WALTER J. EVERETT Luzerne. Pa. Whitey Athenaean Society; Dance Committee; Varsity Foot- ball, 1917-1919. Walt left us after the football in 1917 and after serving eighteen months with Uncle Sam at Kelly Field, Texas, came back to us this year and starred on our football team. He has one cf those I don ' t care smiles that keeps the girls g-uessing. He is one of those easy-going fellows who wouldn ' t hurt your feel- ings for the world. Walt is preparing to enter the business world and we are sure he will be a success. EDWARD FALLON Olyphant, Pa. Hoot Emersonian Society; Scrub Football; College Prep. Edward, who came to our midst a few weeks late, soon became very popular among the male sex, but seemed at first to be shy of the opposite sex. He soon changed this opinion, though. We wonder what the boys mean when they say, Cane for Sugar,Hoot? If he shows the same pluck and perseverance in future life as he did on the gridiron we are sure he ' ll succeed. Good luck to ycu, Ed! 50 REGINA FLANAGAN Galeton, Pa. Jean Emersonian Society; Vice Piesident of Emersonian Society; Assistant Literary Editor. Jean is an odd combination of wit and seriousness; very pietty fhe is and she cares not a rap — it isn ' t piettiness that counts in this world, she insists, it ' s per- sonality. Dance? Oh, reader, you ' ve said it! Act? A little genius! Sweet and happy is Jean as the day is long ' . She is liked for her frankness and honesty; liked by boys, yet she remains loyal to Scoop. A true pal is Jean. A mass cf fluffy hair, blue eyes that laugh and sparkle, a winsome, happy mouth, white and pink cheeks. Tioubles never trouble Jean because sha won ' t let them. Here ' s to her! ANN FOLEY Scranton, Pa. Athenaean Society. Here ' s an Irish study in black hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. Ann has a very quiet and dignified air most of the time and considering this and those Angel Eyes we can ' t quite figure out how Ann can be con- nected with so many escapades. Ann enjoys Normal life, but says she longs for home at times. We wonder why! She can dance, sing, and generally enjoy herself and also she is a good student. So we all know Ann will gain success and lie happy. CLIFFORD FOOTE Sabinsville, Pa. Com . Cliff Athenaean Society; Treasurer Y. M. C. A. Cliff is one of the most studious fellows in the Hass, desirous to learn, and shining in Virgil. Senior D awing and Advanced Rhetoric are his favorites (?). Bei ' ig treasurer of the Y. M. C. A. he shows his ability to handle money. Girls are the least of his troubles and he wculd much rather go to the movies alone just to get the good cut of them. Com aspires to be ;n artist and violinist. Happiness and success be yours ! 51 MARGARET FOX Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Fatly , Fox Athenaean Society. Liuig ' h and the world laughs with you is Margaret ' s motto. She makes Fifth Floor merry with her bright and happy smile, and her unchanging disposition. She ' s got the face of an angel, but you ' d be surprised. Marg. is a lover of out-door sports, dancing, and especially of French. She has fully decided to teach in her old home town, but fate decrees that she will go to Cuba to make her future home. Here ' s wishing her happi- ness. ALBERT GALUARDI Peckville, Pa. Kouch , Gal Emersonian Society; Varsity Baseball; Scrub Foot- ball; Basketball. Fresh from Peckville he came to us. and we fully believes that when he leaves he will return to the place of his youth, there to instruct the children in the mysteries of the classroom. And a good professor he will make, too. Although he shows latent possibilities of fame as a woman killer, he would rather seek his fame on the football field, or diamond. Few are the days that Yea! Galuardi! cannot be heard re-echoing either through the halls or across the athletic field. Here ' s luck to you, Gal , from all your classmates. CORA GENUNG White Haven, Pa. Emersonian Society. This little, black-eyed girl blew in last year and soon became well-known and liked for her sunny good- natured disposition. Her merry laugh rings out at the most unexpected times. She is a girl who is always having a good time. She is very fond of rocks, especially Turocks , and her favorite pastime is either playing bench tennis or feeding the boys sugar. She is a jolly, good sport and we wish her luck. 52 LEON GILBERT Estella. Pa Orchestra; Athenaean Society. Leon is one of the great triumvirate of Second Floor. He was in our great S. A. T. C. and although he no longer desires to become an officer, still he admires a Major . We expect that when he leaves us he will go out as a teacher. He posseses the qualities of a gccd teacher, being strong enough to make an excel- lent disciplinarian and having a thorough knowledge of his subjects. We all wish ycu success in your noble work. CASPER GILLETTE Mansfield, Pa Cap ' ' Athenaean Society. One of our brilliant students, who always has an ajxwser to any question, no matter how abusrd. A great favorite among the boys and girls and lives for the enjoyment of life. He is not an athlete but as an entertainer he sure can deliver the goods. If he has to work as hard in the future as he studies his lessons, he ought to live to be a real old gentleman. But, cheer up, Cap , it may not all be so and we all wish you success. CATHARINE F. GOLDEN Friendsville, Pa. Emersonian Society. Fair of face, friendly, quiet and good, this is Cath- arine. Does she study? Oh yes, of course. She is fond of books and is a very good student. Kay enjoys dancing, music and all out-door sports. A most de- sirable and entertaining companion is she. Agreeable, pleasant and amiable and we know that the world will be a better place for her presence in it. Happy days and good wishes. Catharine. 53 Mansfield, Pa. hustling member from down LOIISE GOODALL Elocution. Louise is our jolly, town . She is always bubbling over with an enthu- siasm which is very contagious. Louise is accomplish- ing wonders in the Elocution work and also in her music. When she reads for us we all thoroughly enjoy it and wait impatiently for more. Did you ever see this girl when she didn ' t huve a friendly smile and greeting? We all like you, Louise, and we know that your highest ambitions will be realized RITH GRACE Towanda, Pa. Athenaean Society. Carefree and light-hearted is Ruth. Nothing ever worries her, except when she is trying to discover a means by which she can entertain two or more of her numerous admire s — all at once. A good time is more to her liking than all the lessons in the world. She could dance all night, and then soma mo re. Generous, amiable and a loyal friend. We like her. NATHAN HALL Burlington, Pa. Nat Athenaean Society; Secretary of Y. M. C. A.; Caron- tawan Board. Nathan is a trust-worthy, generous, kind, earnest, active, and good all-around fellow. Burlington has sent us quite a few students but none can surpass Nathan. He knows Physics, too, at least to the extent that he conducts a class in Lab . Nat is second vice president of the Athenaean Society and he is a builder of the organization. We know Nathan will be successful in anything he does in life because of his 1 will. 54 BAYARD L. HAMMOND Elkland. Pa. Emersonian Society. Bayard is a changeable fellow and does not believe in showing partiality to any particular girl, at least 1hat : ' -s the impression we receive when we see him so often with a new one. He is also different from many of us in that he has chosen his vocation. His desire is to become a commercial business man. In this way he will be able to see much of the world, and especially S.uth America. This may account for his taking Spanish, although his purpose seemed different last year. HELEN HARK INS Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Hawks . Square Root Athenaean Society. Original? Yes, even to her laugh. Some people begin at the bottom of the scale, but Hawks main- tains a high pitch throughout her laughter. Sometimes she frolics about in colonial costume and again she might assume the role of a three-year-old. Many a wild escapade owed its origin to Room 549, but its demise usually took place in Student Council meetings where sentence was passed upon Hawks and her as- societies. This red-blooded, typical Noimalite ' s first day at Model was marked by a funny incident. Some one has said that She views the world thiu ' rosy spectacles. MARIE HARKINS Peckville, Pa. Athenaean Society. Is there anyone who doesn ' t know Marie? Let us introduce her. She is a typical Irish lass with jet black hair, fair skin and blue eyes. Just hear her talk for a few seconds and you will soon discover what is said is true for she has the genuine Irish brogue. Marie is quiet, but when once you know her, she is an ideal companion. May happiness and luck be yours. 55 CORA BELLE HARLAN Alba, Pa. Here ' s Cora Belle, the lover of violin music, not that she ' s a musician herself, but her (?) plays the violin, so that ' s the reason. She is the kind that always knows her lessons but the outside world never knows when she gets them. Quiet, reserved and hard to get acquainted with is she, but when once you know her she ' s a true blue friend. ANN HASTINGS Olyphant, Pa. Athenaean Society. Allow us to present Ann . Our heads are in a whirl. We cannot command a sufficient flow of ad- jectives to give you a fair idea of her. Suffice it to say that she is one of the most trust-worthy, amiable, and likeable creatures that ever crossed the threshold of this institution. Ann can see a joke without the aid of a microscope and her low chuckle of delight has a magnetic influence upon its hearers. Ann came to M. S. N. S. three years ago and formally made her debut with her famous poem Down the Lehigh Valley. You have our best wishes for the future, ' n then some, Ann. BERTHA HEATH Wysox, Pa. Emersonian Litertry Society. This is one of the calmest, least upsettable disposi- tions in the class. Nothing every bothers her. She takes troubles in as matter of fact way as she takes the happier things of life. Until you have known her for a long time Bertha will not disclose her real self, but once you know her and she finds you a favorable indi- vidual you have a friend for life. She eats work, this part of life is a joy to her. May the sunny side of life always turn its face your way, Bertha, is the wish of 1 1 1 1 class. 56 ALTA HEYD Morris, Pa. Athenaean Society. Jolly, fun-loving, good-natured is Alta. Alta with the red cheeks and black hair. She comes from the town of Morris, bringing- sunshine and gladness with her. Her ambition is to teach two years, and then become a nurse. We predict success for her, for her sympathy and kindness are evenly balanced for that vocation. A good student is she. RUTH HEYD Morris, Pa. Athenaean Society. Ruth came to Mansfield when our class was young and fresh. Four years has she spent in the dormitory of North Hall, drinking from learning ' s fountain. Her cup is nearly full for she has made use of every mo- ment doing something worth while. A conscientious studant is she. A favorite subject is Latin and she knows each lesson thoroughly. FREDERICK HITCHCOCK Knoxville, Pa. Fredy , Hitchy Here is another fellow whose favorite pastime is studying (????). Although not known as being overly ambitious he is always there when it comes to eating. He is more fond of his pipe than of the girls Hitchy says, if you want to show me a good time just give me my pipe. If you were to look this old world over there would only be one Hitchy for our class. Here ' s luck, Old Top, and may you never be in need of it. 57 LIDA HOMET Wyalusing Pa. Athenaean Society; Carontawan Board; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Hcmet is a live wiie of tha class. Every f-ch of her is filled with enthusiasm and she is always doing something-. She take? an active part in Y. W. C. A. wok, in Literary So -iety and last hut not least in help- ing her class make the Carontawan a success by gett ' ng the seniors to have their pictures taken She like- to sew, and once W3 thought she would leave our clars and take the Domestic Science course, but we are glad fhe didn ' t for we a e proud to claim her as a member. FLORENCE HONEYWELL Luzerne. Pa. J m Atnenaean Society, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Something suggestive in the name? Well, we ' ll say there is. As fiesh and sweet and wholesome as Ihe sweetest heney you ever ate. is this fair-haired maiden from Fifth Floor. Calm, dignified, lovable Flo always says the right thing in the right place and is ;he fust resort of all maidens needing advice. But witness ' her spirit at a ball game, her love of all good times and you say here is an all- ' round girl. She is an elocut ' on student of first rank and is fond of plays (especially ' play practice ). Florence says the stage is her career and we have no doubt of her ability. Our best wishes to you, Jim . EVELYN E. HOWE Mansfield, Pa. This is Evelyn, our little kindergartner with fluffy hair and eyes of blue. Evelyn has seemingly very quiet ways but like the water still, she ' s very deep , and to her closer and dearest friends she is found to be very mischievous and is right at home in the kinder- garten circle. We hear that Evelyn is the star soloist in song class for her Hurrah! Tin rah! may easily distinguished above all others. We are sure that this demure little lass will meet with great success in her career. Here ' s our best wishes Evelyn. 58 BEVA HUBBARD Scranton, Pa. Hubby Emersonian Literary Society. This demure maiden is not the least demure. This picture is most deceiving. Those brown eyes are wicked, kind reader, they can snap and sparkle and they quite often do. They no not match her voice at all, for that is slow, quiet, and deliberate. We think that Beva is wise in the lore of Cupid, tho ' not often do we get the opportunity to convince her. Good-hearted she is, and very optimistic, she loves children, better than a busi- ness course by a great deal. Many are those letters which the mail brings her; big fat ones, just bulging with we can only guess what — Beva will not tell. Well, here is to her. PETER HUBIAK Mayfield, Pa. Pete Varsity Football; Athenaean Society. This light-haired boy comes from Mayfield where two others of our class saw their opportunity and came to join us. Pete is everything but a sissy . He showed us his real make-up on the football team. He says that in a few years he will be one of those who have seen some of the world as he intends to go to the Philippine Islands. There is no wonder at this for Pete always was sort of wild in his days at M. S. N. S. Pete is well-liked by all of us and we wish him good luck in the future. CELIA HUGHES Tioga, Pa. Emersonian Society. Celia is a very quiet, demure little lady, never talks very much and is rather dignified, which some of us have found out when she says, Lights Out! She does not believe in bothering with the fellows while at Nor- mal School. We wonder why? Perhaps her thoughts are elsewhere. We can truly say that Celia is a splendid worker and a true friend, altho she is an excellent squelcher, yet we love her for it. 59 Tioga, Pa. Music Supervisor ' s HELEN HUGHES Emersonian Society; Elocution; Course. Behold Helen, the mischief maker of the Third Floor. One of her chief delights is to elocute and it tlelijiht s us as much to listen to her. When you see Helen start any place, you can make up your mind that if there is not anything exciting going on, when she gets there there soon will he. We will all recommend her as a sure cure for the blues. Back of this fun-loving spirit, live high and beautiful ideas and the spirit of a true friend, for Helen is liked by all. We know she will have success without our wishing it for her. IONA HUNT Troy, Pa. Athenaean Society. Iona ' s home town is Troy, but her knowledge of other places is very broad. She knows about ths east, the far west and dear knows where else. She is always interested in every topic of the day and can always express some opinion on the subject. Iona is an am- bitious and industrious student and we wish her luck in her chosen line of work. MILDRED HURLEY Canton, Pa. Mil Emersonian Society; President of Emersonian Lit- erary Society; Vice President of Senior Class. From a little town in the hart of Pennsylvania Hills she comes, and she seems to bring with her an atmosphere of sweet wholesomeness and happiness. Faithful, staunch and steadfast is Mil , a true pal, fun-loving, yat possessed cf a dignity all her own. Mill ' s eyes — blue they are, fringed with lashes that are the despair of many a feminine heart (and other- wise), eyes that snap with merriment, steel with dis- approval, yet cloud with sympathy. She loves to dance, she has brains, she has school spirit enough for three, She ' s surely an all- ' round M. N. S. girl, GO RUTH HUSTED Mansfield. Pa. EmersonJ:n Society. Who is this young lass with the attractive dark hair and dancing blue eyes? Why, Ruth Husted. A girl with many accomplishments, well up in avoirdupois, but well- balanced, I assuie you. What? She can dance, she can sing, She can do most anything; A friend no truer made Than this bewitching maid. As an athlete she is right there. And as a chauffeur far more than fair. Oh, the clouds of life unfurl In the presence of this all-around girl. ELIZABETH IRWIN Crooked Creek, Pa. Good-natured, smiling Elizabeth. Studious? Yes, very much so and she always has her lessons. She always has a good time though, too. We all like her both for her own sweet self and the boxes of chocolates which she frequently receives and shares so liberally. She has deep interests in Blossburg. Inquire of Elizabeth Irwin for the reason. GRACE JAMES Taylor, Pa. Jimmie Allow us to introduce to you Miss Grace James, alias Jimmie , of Taylor, Pa. Now close your eyes, dear reader, and imagine a gill some five feet six in height, eyes pale blue and hair of brown. Jimmie counts ten before she speaks but her decisions are final and usually show good judgment. She is a participant in many of the pranks of North Hall, appreciates a good joke and is kind and sympathetic by nature. Jimmie is the official alarm clock for Third Floor residents and if it were not for her Are you going to get up this morn- ing, kids? many a girl would be minus her cereal and coffee. May good fortune be yours in all your under- takings, Jimmie . 61 MORGAN JAMES Mansfield, Pa. Loppv Emersonian Society. Lopp transferred his affections from last year ' s class to this year ' s. At least he says that; but we strongly suspect there is one in particular of our num- ber that turned his head. However it came about, we are glad to have him with us as he is a true sport under all conditions. Here ' s to your success, Morgan. MYRA JAMESON Newport, N. H. Jane Does she remind you of that saying, Com fed, city broke, two bits and a dollar down ? Not so, say we, who have heard her babble about Albany, Boston, and .],.. 1R ,west modes in decollete gowns. We thought at first that her peculiarity of speech was assumed but when Jane endeavored to parlez vous after our fashion we willingly relented and as a result she still drops her r ' s in her charming New England way. You have just got to love her — her blue eyes, fluffy hair, winning personality, and that ain ' t all. We envy you, lucky one, when we see those endearing phrases flowing from her gifted pen. We can give her a rec- ommend as a culinary artist, student and booster of the Keystone State. SAMUEL JOHNS Parsons, Pa. Sam Emersonian Society. The Old Noimal proved irresistible to Sam, or so he told us, but we strongly suspect that the shining eyes and bright smile of a certain girl lined Sam back again. Sam did not come back until the middle of the winter- term, but was welcome even though he was late. He has not lost his talent for dramatics; he had not been back twenty-four hours before he was hard at work in the Minstrels . Sam is willing to lend a hand to every one and is sure to make a success of anything he undertakes. Good luck, Sam. 2 CTNEVIEVE JOHNSON Laceyvi ' le, Pa. Athenaean Society. We have learned that disposition is one cf the most vital factors in human life and that a pleasant dispo- s ' tioi is a gift of high value. Th ' .s gift in a large measure does our Genevieve possess. Always friendly, agreeable and obliging, a shark in Senior Grammar and an artist in Draw.ng. Genevieve lives chiefly for vacations, for — There ' s a Reason. HARRIET JOHNSON Laceyville, Pa. Athenaean Society. Ws e we all so industrious as Harriett, this old world vv mid fairly hum. Although she ' s no book worm, still : he attends to her studying. Now and then we Fifth Floor girls realize that something in the line of mail has come for Harriet, because she can ' t conceal her joy from us. We ' re told that he ' s a Parker , and we wonder, is it automobiles or what? Oh, fair one, tell us, what does he paik? ETHEL D. JONES Throop, Pa. Duke Athenaean Society; President of Student Government Association. Who once thought when Ethel came to this school that her last year here would be spent in helping each girl to feel her responsibility. We all admire her genuine friendliness, her tact in dealing with all situa- tions and most of all for her real self. Duke is not always Miss Jones, for when the right time and right place present themselves for a good time she is right there with her hearty laugh and sparkling eyes. Com- petent, energetic and thoughtful is Ethel in all she undertakes and we are suie that she will succeeed in life. 63 HELEN JONES Blossburg, Pa. Regular Normal Course; Commercial Course; Caron- tawan Board; Athenaean Society. A combination of dimples and fun, smiles and some times giggles is Helen. She is a happy-go-lucky sort of person sometimes and then agtaan she is quite sin- cere and earnest. Talking seems to be her chief delight for she can talk from morning until night and never get tired. She can also debate when it comes to the summing up and the strongest points are to be enforced. Helen has chosen her Lott so here ' s luck and happiness in years to come. LOIS JONES Eorest City, Pa. Sis Athenaean Society. Independent, That ' s me all over. Behold her, this dearly beloved member of our class. Lois, of the creamy complexion and soft dark hair. Lois is admired by all and sincerely loved by her friends. She is like an invigorating breeze, she is chuck full cf pep and go . Lois likes all sorts of out-door sports, especially hopping bob-sleighs. She has certainly made things interesting for the young men of this institution during her stay here. Just at present she has captivated the heart of our wild Irish- man — Frank. Good luck to you Lois, best of pals and truest of friends. HAROLD H. JONSON Towanda, Pa. Babe Emersonian Society. Harold was here in 1917, but Uncle Sam called him so he was not able to come back and graduate until this year, and we are proud to have him in our class. Babe saw service on the battleships Georgia and Utah and also saw active service on convoys and transports. He was in the navy a little more than two years when the armistice was signed and then he came to Mansfield. Babe is a fine fellow and just the kind we like for a classmate. Happiness and prosperity, Babe ! 64 GUSSIE JUPENLAZ Mansfield, Pa. Gussie lives in the borough of Mansfield, but every morning comes around to get her full share of M. S. N. S. knowledge, and that she receives, for she is a bright and energetic student. We always will remem- ber Gussie as a quick, straight-foi-ward, smiling, good- natured lass. Her friends can point out a mischievous twinkle in her sparkling eyes, which tell us of her fun- loving nature which bursts forth on the slightest pre- text. May your future be as happy as your own sweet self, Gussie. ELIZABETH KANE Arnot, Pa. Bets This damsel is tall and slender, she has a piquant fa e, hrown eyes, with beautiful lashes, those eyes have been the undoing of many an unfortunate youth, so we gather, but Cupid ' s arrows have never wrought serious damage where Elizabeth is concerned. One of her trials is the behavior of her biother, the editor of this bcok, by the way. She stands in no awe of this individual, and bosses him accordingly. She loves to dance, arid she has an odd little way of expressing her ideas which is very characteristic and charming. Here ' s success, Bets ! JOHN KANE Arnot. Pa. Johnny , Jack Emersonian Society. Wildly we wondered — Whom shall we have for ' Ed- :n-Chief of Carontawan 3? We spied Johnny — and his fate was settled and the success of our book in- sured. We ' ll describe him briefly: tall, rather good- looking, curls to break a maiden ' s heart. He was a member of the class of ' 18, but heard Uncle Sam call- ing him. He was in the service a. year and a half. U. S. for Johnny every time. Quiet, business-like, yet he likes a good time as well as any of us. John has proved himself an untiring enthusiastic Editor-in- Chief. We like and respect him. 65 WILLIS KASMERSKI Peckville. Pa. •Khaki . Bill Athenaean Society; Scrub Football. Here we behold Willis, better known as Khaki or Bill . He is sport-loving, studious, and is always ready to help you when you need him. We can never forget that broad smile which brightens his whole face and gives him his jolly appearance which we have always been so fond of. Next year we will hear of Bill in Lafayette College where some others of his classmen intend to go. Bill has had wonderful suc- cess here, and we know he ' ll continue to have, in his career. GRACE KELLY Coudersport, Pa. Athenaean Society. Quiet, reserved and a bit aloof is this demure maiden. But when you get to know her, you discover that she ' s fond of a good time, too. Can you imagine Grace thrashing- her Model School youngsters? She did one day, and so effectively that the whole grade acquired rulers instead of a spine. The tranquil stream of her g-enerally sweet disposition is occasion- ally violently agitated by a sudden outburst of fiery temper. But the storm always passes as swiftly as it com s. Here ' s luck, Grace. STILLMAN KENDRICK Wellsboro, Pa. Here he is, right from the town of Wellsboro, and what a boy. A very studious fellow, and bright. Why, it shows on his face at all times of the i-.ay. He is one of those fellows one has to look up to. But in the classroom he sure is a whiz . It has been said he even studies at night, but we think there are others who could prcfit by that also. Here ' s to you. Old Man. We ' ll remember you when far, far off, The woodchucks die with the whooping- cough. r,r, JOSEPH KERN AN WestfieM, Pa. ; ' Joe Emersonian Society. He-e ' s the student with the unlimited vocabulary. He likes to talk, but his greatest delight is in arguing. Joe will lay aside almost any business of pleasure for the sake of convincing some one that he is right. He is good-hearted, generous, and we!l-liked by all who know him. If we could look into the future, we would probably see Joe a successful lawyer in some Western city. May success always follow you! IRENE KNOLL Nanticoke, Pa. Athenaean Society. Her eyes are worth a million, or, as someone re- marked: She ' s got eyes like Theda Bara. Irene is quiet and it is very difficult to make her acquaintance, but when she makes a friend, you are always sure of having her. We have often wondered why she walked along with that longing look, but we live to learn, since the postman brings those letters and candy from Tony. In the wee hours of night, Irene delights in getting the Juniors in Room 510%, and relating stories that make their blood creep and their hair stand on end, so that they fear to return to their rooms. No matter, Irene, you ' re the pride of our hearts. CHARLES KROTZER Throop, Pa. Congo , Mose , Chito Athenaean Society. The full-rf-pep kid , that ' s him. Not very good at his studies. Never had a mark below 90. Bright as the stars. But for good looks. Oh, Boy! Leave that for Charles. Always talking. As for popularity with the girls, he has the first place. And talk about a Jazz Baby ! Hence his remark, I ' m too good for this place. Trouble with him was he could not eat much. But, oh, how he mourned the death of Bill Love. Here ' s luck. Old Top. 67 CLIFFORD A. LANE Towanda, Pa. Athenaean Society. Everybody loves black cuvls, especially if they are firmly attached and belong to a man. Cliff has black curls. Consequently everybody loves him. Tho ' Cliff (one of his girls calls him Cliff ; another Clif- ford) is not a dude nor a swell, he dresses well. He is- sists on the original, Mavis Talcum Powder, for in- stance. Like most seniors, he is planning his future. He is thinking ' strongly of going into partnership with a Carpenter to learn the tiade. LEO LAVIN Olyphant, Pa. Shorty , Little Man Athenaean Society; Scrub Football. He is little, but, oh, boy! Have you ever seen him when he is not on the go? And he can tackle; what do you say. Varsity men? Leo makes a wonderful nurse. If you don ' t believe it ask the fellows on Fourth. His ability to keep a wild bunch quiet is one of his best qualities. Does he care for the fair sex? You said it. He admires them all, yet has no favorite. His great delight is in dancing with the tall girls. Luck, Leo! GRACE LAYMAN Wyalusing, Pa. Athenaean Society. Here ' s to you, Grace, our quiet, earnest, reliable lass from the country, renowned Wyalusing. Willing, kind-hearted and a very obliging person is she. Grace loves domestic work and if you wish anything - neatly and well-done call on her. She likes to make everyone happy and content. She tries to practice what she- preaches. Her motto being, Try not to be late but early. Success will be hers. (,v. LEE LEARN Farmington, Pa. Pete Lee finished his junior year in ' 17, served one term, in the S. A. T. C, and entered our class at the begin- ning of the winter term. He has light hair, blue eyes — but, Pete, we will not tell the rest. He does not want to start anything, but when something is started, he is always ready for a good time. We do not know whether he is studious or not, for we never see him study, — he has his lessons, however. The class is proud of you, Lee! KATHRYN LEONARD Blossburg, Pa. A rare compound of duty, frolic and fun. This tall, sweet, loving, apparently dignified maiden comes from Blossburg every morning to spend the day with us. Conscientious and earnest is she about her work, and a good student, but when work is over Kay is free and ready for fun. Dancing is her chief delight and how she can dance. Because of her many fine qualities we know that she will succeed. IRENE LEHSCH Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Rene Athenaean Society; Kindergarten. Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, Like twilight too, her dusky hair. This is Rene of the mystic dark eyes and wonder- ful smile. Rene is a quaint little maid, you would think she had just stepped out of a story book. She is our ideal of a Dream Girl. When you look at her you can picture her in a little bung with roses all around its shady porch — and couldn ' t Rene make some man happy. She has a calm appearance, but those black eyes can snap. We know that she will be successful and happy. Love to you, our Rene . 69 JOHN .1. LEHMAN Wilkes- Bane, Pa. ••.lack Athenaean Society; Varsity Baseball; Colleg ' 3 Pre- paiatory; Music Department. The glass of fashion, the mold of form, the ob- sei ' ved of all observers. Th ' s is Jack. Life is all it should be to him for he is always looking- for adventure and finding it. Not until he had travelled in forty-three different states did he find the Great Adventure , in which he finds an ever constant companion. But Jack does not spend all his time thusly for he may be seen taking part in all kinds of sports, from the gun on his shoulder to the tennis racquet in his hand. Here ' s to you. Jack! MARGARET LEMBERGER Elmira, N. Y. Athenaean Literary Society. A very demure little miss is Marge with large, trust- ing, dark brown eyes, lighting up with amused twinkles when the mail arrives, bearing with it tissue-laden treasures from some one in the home town. Any time Marge can be counted upon to impart her knowledge to her teachers and she has been the loving, and appreciated guide of her fellow students. Here ' s to our dear friend and class-mate Dutch . May she always be as well beloved. LELA LINDSLEY Athens, Pa. Athenaean Society; Student Council. Picture a grirl not very short, not very thin, with an abundance of golden hair and snappy black eyes, winsome and happy, and that is Lela. She is generally free from care and worry and delights in knowing her lessons, especially Virgil. She likes to sing and dance. Her letters tied with blue ribbon tell us a story which accounts for her frequent visits home when the weather is fine. Lots of friends are hers. 70 CHARLOTTE LODER Clarks Green, Pa. Athenaean Society. Buster with the reddish tinge to her hair and the sparkling brown eyes which probably iaccounts for the great abundance of pep and energy she possesses. She loves to talk and you always know when Buster is around for her tongue wig-wags a mile a minute , but we enjoy it for she keeps us from getting lonesome. She ' s not particularly fond of Agriculture, although she likes Buds . Oceans of friends are hers. OLIVE LONGSTREET Mansfield, Pa. Emersonian Society. And who is this dame, so tall and fair, With expressive eyes, and hair of brown; Such a stately walk and a queenly air, Her sweet winning ways, why, never a frown. A complexion like peaches and cream, And features also superfine; While in social and home-life she ' s like a dream, Dainty, demure, divine. INA MAE LOTT Orwell, Pa. Athenaean Society. The g-irl of the class who does not believe in hard work or in taking brain subjects such as Latin. Call on Ina Mae any time a day and you never find her studying unless it is examination time and then she puts out the sign Engaged . We like Ina Mae for she is as jolly as the day is long and always ready for a good time. Black eyes, black hair, dimples and story books are her chief characteristics. 71 LEIGH LOTT Meshoppen, Pa. (Mass Orator; General Secretary of Y. M. C. A.; President of Athenaean Society; Carontawan Board. Leigh is the fellow we all go to when we feel the need of encouragement. And so we shall always remember him as our friend and helper. He has not only helped the students, but he has also been of ;reat va ' lue to the school. Much credit is due him in helping to make the Y what it is and what we expect it to be. Leigh is not a very noisy fellow, but when he sings Oh, Helen , be puts the spirit right in it. We are looking forward to a happy futuie for him. FEDA LUDLAM Knoxville, Pa. Teddy Emersonian Society. Behold our Feda, clear cut, peppy and utterly irresist- ible. It is a joy to see her walk — this dainty, grace- ful, chic, svelte little Fiench maid — curly hair where the sunbeams linger, pink and white complexion and the happiest laugh in the world. Added to this, she is generous, kind hearted, and true, standing high in her classes without any apparent effort. She is very democratic and has a noticeable regard for Freeman . Here ' s to you, Feda. we like you. THELMA LUTES Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Regular Normal Course; Elocution Course; Athe- nean Society; Student Council. Thelma with bright, shining eyes, sweet smiles and prominent dimples is a friend to everyone and a truer, dearer friend you would not wish to find in M. S. N. S. She takes an active part in all school activities. She can elocute , draw and lots of other things, too, even pei form the duties of a proctor in the most pleasing way. A good student, and a faithful worker is she. Thelma ' s ability and earnestness predict a vareer which will be most successful. 72 EVA LUTZ Scranton, Pa. Eva Darling Athenaean Society. Here we have Eva, ambitious, clever and talkative. Red is her hair and sharp is her temper. Anxiously we await her going to the serving- room, although she is sometimes late. For Eva is ambitious. Eva ' s me- lodious voice can be heard warbling in the corridor at any time. With her loud laughter and voice she keeps the proctors always on the job. Here is wishing you all the luck in the world, in your life work. FLORENCE MARQUAKT Lloyd, Pa. Athenaean Society. Florence came to us this year from Lock Haven. She lives down town and thus is quite new to us. We know that she is tall, quiet, reserved and possesses all the dignity you can imagine. She is a good student, and a good model school teacher. She knows the way to handle the little wrigglers. She has the best wishes of the class of ' 20. NELLIE MAJOR Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Athenaean Society. A plump little maid of less than medium height, with soft grey eyes, blown hair, a fair complexion, with cheeks the tint of a wild rose petal, and a gentle man- ner, Nellie is the essence of demuie girlhood. Quiet, friendly, good alike in recitations and at the enjoyment of all approved good times at S. N. S., it is no wonder that Leon became her humble adorer at their first meeting. Nellie ' s favorite avocations are elocution and sing-ing. Her voice is a soft, low soprano, and readily adapts itself to the music of her ukelele. We hope that her life will be as even and sweet as is her nature. 73 MATILDA MAYER Clarks Green, Pa. Matty Athenaean Society. This good natured, generous, studious, but fun-loving; girl is surely a bom leader, for she is the Fire Captain of Pigtail Alley. She has made a record at Model School by efficiently disciplining those imps. Excite or arouse her, and you will see her brown eyes sparkle and dance. What do you do when the bed breaks down? Sleep on the trunk! My word, Matty! DONALD McANDREW Jessup, Pa. Don . Mac Athenaean Society; Scrub Football; Basketball. ' There are thousands of stars in the misty heavens, but only one Don the whole world over. Born with an active mind and an attraction for the ladies, Don early developed his natural traits. Always ready for anything he at once won favor in the eyes of all the boys and in the hearts of some of the girls. Although a firm advocate of the Divine right of the Senior Class, he showed his individuality by taking under his wing one of our prettiest Junior girls. Here ' s to you, Don , may the chicken never be hatched that will scratch on your grave. Avoca, Pa. It ' s al-right and HILDA McDERMOTT Hilda has two favorite expressions. She ' s a jolly sort of person when it is not ex- she frets and worries, when at she will pass. She swel animation time, then the bottom of her heart she knows loves to dance, and dance she could forever and never gel, tired. May luck and success be yours, Hilda! 74 MAR.IORIE McDONALD Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Marje Athenaean Society. Two years ago Marje blew in and she has been a cyclone ever since. At the mention of Marje ' s name we have visions of a Hallowe ' en feed. We won ' t say a thing about the decorations. They just made us think of Little Orphan Annie ' s Warning, the goblins will get you if you don ' t watch out. but the eats, oh, my! App ' .es that dangled from the ceiling, doughnuts, pumpkin pies, n ' everything. We believe that Marje ' s stunt book would disclose many secrets of the Royal Triumvirate. Possibly some day she might use this material in a book and name it The Trials and Tribu- lations of a Normalite. Never mind Marje, even if you did everything in a wild way we like you. GALEN McINROY Middlebury, Pa. Gai , Mac Emersonian Society; Chahman of Mission Study of V. M. C. A. Before Mac came to us he was a telegraph opera- tor. Maybe that accounts for some of his shoit re- sponses in class. Nevertheless, he is a good student and always has an answer ready unless he is caught sleeping. Nearly all young men have some favorite car. Mac seems to prefer a Page . If you wish an argument go to Mac . He likes nothing better, and a good reason for this is because he nearly always wins. Luck! MARGUERITE McINROY Dolgeville, N. Y. Athenaean Society; Kindergarten Course. ' the old saying, Good grass grows on vacant lots, does not apply in this case as Peg has luxurious tresses and plenty of gray matter to boot. She doesn ' t have the proverbial temper that accompanies flaming hair eilher, for in any emergency she always maintains her self-control. Peg loves her work in Kindergarten. If you don ' t believe us, just take a peep into Room 15 when the little tots are assembled. She moves in their midst with a grace and ease that is surprising. Right in the height of their glee you might hear one litte voice pipe up, Miss Macaroni, for that is what they call her. Peg ' s best is a Jack Tar, and some day she ex- pects to go lighthouse keeping with John to guide the beacon over the sea of life. 75 ELIZABETH McKEAN Troy, Pa. Atheroaiean Society. Betty is the lively one of the Y-D-Wakas. She is always looking for fun and making- fun. Her black eyes are teeming with mischief. She likes to perfoi-m. She can clog, sing ami give the Indian War Whoop. Never is she more pleased than when she is helping some one and scattering sunshine, brightening the corner where she is. Success will be hers. REBECCA MILLER Knoxville, Pa. Emersonian Society; Student Council; Carontawan Board. Rebecca, the good-natured, ever-the-same sweet, lovable, quiet, sincere Rebecca. Patient, tactful and earnest is she in all her undertakings. Never has she been known to get cranky. Although she is taking the Regular Normal Course her talents tend toward an art career, for her color harmonies are beautiful and her manner of teaching it to others is very successful. Best wishes. ELEANOR MITTEN Towanda, Pa. Emesonian Literary Society; Captain Basketball; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Music Editor of Carontawan; Music and Art Departments. Such a very little, brown-haired, blue eyed girl! When she sings to us, it seems like a golden rain of liquid notes. A beautiful voice is El ' s and we know that in years to come we will be proud of our classmate. Dut don ' t acquire the idea that all El can do is sing a sweet song — watch those small feet tripping lightly over the gym floor. Watch her captain senior basket- ball and you ' ll know that El is really an all-around girl, fond of fun and frolic, as well as of her beloved music. 76 ROSS MOSHIER Elmira, N. Y. Athenaean Society; Orchestra. Ross is a fellow not so well known as many other of our classmates. But that is no discredit to him. He does not stay in our midst and also he is so studious that he never makes us a call only for classes. Ross is brainy, a, friend of mathematics and the whole squeeze at Hotel Taylor. If you wish to see him smile just say, No bluffing:. He is not a bluffer because he was taught by one of our worthy teachers that bluff- ing- is sin. Success Ross. GENEVIEVE MORAN Genesee, Pa. Gen Imported fiom Genesee, Pa., real hair and eyelashes, says momma and Charlie , the latter only on Sun- day and Wednesday nights, but, my dear reader, she is not for sale. The One Man must be very witty for when Gen receives a letter from him she just chuckles. Gen ' s brother ( ? ) visited her during the fall term. He looked like a very nice brother. Gen is somewhat like the owl who lived in an oak. She does not say much, but, oh, my! that gray matter of hers is in perpetual motion. Do you recall the verse pertain- ing to the owl : There was an owl who lived in an oak, The more he heard, the less he spoke; The less he spcke, the more he heard, And Genevieve is just like the bird. CHARLES MUNRO Blossburg, Pa. Charley Athemaiean Society; Orchestra; College Preparatory. We were puzzled what to say about Charles until we became acquainted with him and heard him play the violin. He is reserved and quiet, but there is some- thing behind his quietness which we do not quite under- stand. He is an artist with the violin and has one of the leading places in the orchestra. There was a cer- tain girl at Charles ' table during the fall term that attracted much of his attention. We have a bright future for Charles. 77 HENRY MI TO Throop, Pa. Mink , Sou Athenaean Literary Society. Henry was one of those students who was ready to help any one, in anything whenever his help was de- sired. He thus made many friends among- his fellow students. He used his time to good advantage, which was shown by the good work which he accomplished in his studies. He always bore a more or less myster- ious look, which seemed to have something back of it and which especially seemed to fail the fair sex. Great success to you, Henry, in your future years. MARY MITO Throop, Pa. Athenaean Society. And here is Mary, our black-haired, black-eyed, sun- ny-tempered daughter. We hear that she often enter- tains (?) third floor by participating in rather doubt- ful melody in duets. Fond of a joke and always looking for a g - cod time. Her hearty laugh may be heard re- echoing down the halls nearly every hour of the day. Her uniformly even, unruffle-able disposition has won for her many a staunch and loyal friend. We wish you every success, Mary. ELIZABETH MITR Towanda, Pa. Betty Emersonian Society. Behold her! One of the best-liked girls at M. S. N. S. A voice like a linnet and fingers that evoke the most wonderful jazz from the gym music box that sends you whirling to the tune of a fox-trot or one-step. She ' s a winsome creature, and whether it ' s a landscape lo be painted or a basketball fray, he ' s master of the situation. If dimples are indication of good nature Betty surely has her share ' n then some. She ' s g ot lots of friends among both sexes, principal of which is a prominent resident of Olyphant (not mentioning any names.) Betty, here ' s wishing you luck and happi- ness plenty, and a dear little husband before you aire twenty. 78 EDNA NASH Mainesburg, Pa. Ted , Shorty Athenaean Society. This jolly, quick, good-natured maiden joined our class in its baby year. Dark hair and, oh, such expres- sive eyes are Ted ' s. Be careful Ted and don ' t use them too much. Like most people she has some queer notions, one of which is Hoarding Beach leaves. Her interests are divided. Some are with Insurance Busi- ness, others at Cornell University, and others on her studies, for she always has her lessons. Luck to you, Ted . VKLEINE NEAL Mansfield, Pa. Emersonian Society. Here we find a blue-eyed maiden so angelic and sweet at all times, except when she takes one-half dozen or more girls home with her and then this demure little maiden turns the house upside down so the M. S. N. S. girls can have a good time and then she ' s sweet, fun- loving and full of spirits. Arleine is particularly fond of basket-ball games so you might ask her if she should go to the game would El win ? Best of luck to you, dear classmate and friend of all. CAROLYN NEARING Tioga, Pa. Elocution; Emersonian Society; Student Council; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Do good by stealth And blush to find it fame. We might rave for hours about Carolyn ' s good quali- ties and her talents, but we are going to say just this, but say it from the bottom of our hearts, Carolyn is a dandy girl and appreciation of her value grows upon acquaintance. Seeing her once, we love her, and know- ing her well we love her more. 79 BAYARD M. NEARY Carbondale, Pa. Bernie , Meba Athenaean Society; Dance Committee; Varsity Foot- ball, ' 18- ' 19; Varsity Basketball, ' 19. Bayard has been with us for three years and each year his popularity grows. During ' his first year he did not even try out for athletics, but he came back in ' 18 and surprised us all by starring- on the Varsity football team. ' Bernie fought thy of the opposite sex for his first two years, although there were many who would have been willing. He finally succumbed to their charms, however. His chief ambition is to be- come a banker, as he likes to handle money. Here ' s luck. Bayard. MICHAEL NYDUCK Mayfield, 1 ' a. Smiler , Mike Athenaean Society; Scrub Football. This short, husky fellow comes from the town of Mayfield. We didn ' t know Smiler very well until the football season opened, when he made a good showing ' as half-back for the scrubs. Smiler has a great lik- ing for all the spoits of the school. His time is not taken up by the girls of the Normal, but we believe he is infatuated with some little dark-haired girl in Scran- ton. He has an inclination for the Philippines, where he intends to do Missionary woik for the Government. Rl ' TH PECK Susquehanna, Pa. Athenaean Society. Ruth has been a regular school marm for sometime, but somehow Normal attracts her attention so now we find her gracing the halls of M. S. N. S. as a quiet, steady, patient Normalite . You never find Ruth idle for she spends her spare moments working in the li- biary. She loves the little ones and that is what she aims to teach. Her whole-souled interest in the work will bring her success. 80 BETTY PEDRICK Ni holson, Pa. Athenaean Society; Carontawan Board; Basketball Team. Basketball, books and outdoor sports are Betty ' s hobbies. Efficient and well up in avoirdupois in all three due to her never tiring zeal and whole-souled interest in them. Visit Betty ' s room and look through her kodak album and you will soon discover the reason for her indifferent feeling toward the other sex of M. S. N. S. To know her is to love her. IRENE PEDRICK Nicholson, Pa. Regular Noimal Course; Commercial Course; Emer- sonian Society. Irene is taller than the majority of us, so we look up to her. She joined our class a little late, but we are glad she is with us for she has proved to be very beneficial and helpful, being the literary editor of the Y. W. C. A. for the Association News. Irene is sweet, charming and business like in her way, but never so busy that she cannot lend a helping hand. Success will be hers. LEO PELTON Laquin, Pa. Athenaean Society; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. Leo is one cf the occupants of Room B. He is active and always ready to help with anything that requires work and patience. He has that slow, I don ' t care what happens walk, but always accomplishes whatever he undertakes. Leo has the advantage over the rest of the fellows when it comes to social privileges. Why? Ask him. We know Leo will make an excellent teacher for he can handle the Model School pupils like so many kittens. Keep it up, Leo! 81 ALICE PENNAY Harford, Pa. Penny Athenaean Society. There are so many different girls We meet them all the while, The quiet ones — ' the noisy ones. The sad, and those who smile; But sure! We must confess to you, We never have met any Who seemeed to be so quite true blue As this — our little Penny . EDITH PINNEY Coudersport, Pa. Athenaean Society. Edith, small black-haired, brown-eyed, Edith. She is chuck full of pep and enthusiasm. She studies to be- come a stenographer, but her greatest delight is in elocuting . She entertains all who come within reach with her ever ready wit and humor. Good-hearted, generous, and eve) ' eady to help a fellow student, As to Cupid, we don ' t know bu-t we can easily guess. Joyous, fun-loving Edith, we wish you success. ELIZABETH POWELL Plains, Pa. Emersonian Society. Elizabeth his a pleasant word and smile for every- one at all times, even when a proctor. She loves all sports, and is our star on the basketball team, and loves to defy Mary Pickford in making spit curls. She is afraid of nothing, not even mice, only just don ' t like ' cm. Hosts of friends appreciate and love her. 82 ALIDA REHNBORG Port Allegheny, Pa. Athenaean Society. Alida hails from Port Allegheny and we like her im- mensely. She is rather poetic at times and we have every reason to believe that if she should just set her- self about it she could make us look up to her as a Shakespeaie or a Milton. How about it Alida? How- ever, we wish you well, and may you live one hundred and one prosperous years. JESSIE RESIO OM Forge, Pa. Athenaean Society. Jessie is a sweet little maid with big brown eyes which sparkle with animation and reflect her varying moods. Her hair is a mass of the brightest, deepest chestnut which waves softly back from a face express- ing strong character. Her voice, both in conversation and song is soft and melodious. She loves to read poetry, especially classic myths which relate the won- derful deeds of Hercules. Jessie is by nature demure and quiet and loves the feminine arts of sewing and housework. She has the best wishes of the class. MAVIS REYNOLDS Wysox, Pa. Athenaean Society; Art Editor Carontawan; Student Council; Regular Noimal Course; Elocution. This is Mavis, the adorable and adored, with her bright blond tresses, soft blue eyes and smiling ruby lips. Talented and efficient is she. Often have we been chaimed by her exquisite readings and cle ver impersonations. How applicable to her are those words, And whatsoever she doeth shall prosper, for Mavis was never known to fail in anything she at- tempted. Early in her Normal career she became a leader in the various school activities, both social and scholastic. Long will we remember Mavis as one of our best friends, and our heartiest good wishes are hers. 83 VELMA ROSE Mansfield, Pa. Ve ' .ma got her start at Charleston High School. Dark hair and a smiling countenance aie hers. She never gets cioss except on Friday afternoon when she thinks he cannot go home and then how she dees sputter and fume. She studies diligently during the week but week-end hooks are a thing of the past and not a blacksmith cr a goldsmith, but a Smith occupies her precious moments. GWENNIE ROSS Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Athenaean Society; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Here we have one of the most reliable and trust- worthy girls of the school. To the world Gwennie appears quiet and reserved, but those who know her best rind her full of life and real fun. She is ever ready for hikes, spreads and all out-door sports. Besides this, Gwennie is a very good girl and some day she hopes she might be a missionary. Her sincerity has won for her many friends and she is honored by all. SOPHRONA ROUNDS Jermyn, Pa. Emersonian Society. Sophrona is full of pep and spirit. Fond of dancing, walking, tennis and all sports. Besides the pleasure course she has followed three others, music, regular Normal and fouith year high. She is lively, energetic anil wide-awake. If you want an idea on any subject whatever, ask Sophie, she always has an opinion about everything, which she freely expresses. We predict a bright future for this classmate of ours. Best of luck, Sophie. 84 RUTH SAWDEY Mansfield, Pa. Piano. Heie comes Ruth, always in a rush. She is very talented, and very, very studious. Who has not seen the attractive posters Ruth makes ? She also plays and sings very well. Ruth is quiet, but those who know her realize her worth. We wish vou success. FRANCIS SCHOOLS Lebanon, Pa. Emersonian Society; Varsity Basketball. At the opening of the fall teim our school was blessed by the addition of Francis, alias Ick Schools. Iek , along with being a clever basketballer, is an all around athlete of considerable merit. He was the originator of a society paper, something w e did not have here before. His over-ambition sometimes crops out in the form of fun. Ick ' s ambition is to be a physica l director and with his ability and past record we know he ' ll succeed. EDWIN SCHOTT Sabinsville, Pa. Eddie Emersonian Society. Behold Ed ! Ed , the unsquelchable. the forever irrepressible! Troubles never trouble Eddie , he won ' t let them. Wit is his middle name, a soldier he ' s been (you ' ll believe it when you see those over-seas snaps), a teacher and goodness knows what else. He ' s a friend — loyal and true blue every time. Gym social never fails to find Eddie tripping his light fantastic toes up and down the shining dance floor. He ' s happy as the day is long; but no wonder — he gets everything he wants from 99% % to the extra banana at breakfast. Ed , you ' re right there everytime! Here ' s to you! 85 RITA SCOUTEN Dushore, Pa. Voice; Athenaean Society. Singing ' is Rita ' s chief occupation at Normal and we predict that this is what it will be hereafter for she has a voice of a genuine songstress. She can soar to heights beyond. To appreciate Rita you must really know her and then you find her a jolly, good-natured fr end. We wish this tall fair-haired classmate of ours success. HAROLD SEAMAN Sabinsville, Pa. Athenaean Society. When Harold came to Mansfield he wore knicker- bockers, he ' s one of the youngest of our class, but — BRAINS! He ' s got ' em! He ' s a lad you can count on for anything at any time and never be disappointed. A gentleman through and through is Harold. We don ' t wonder that his friends are of the true blue variety — for Harold is a friend of Sterling quality, which is saying a great deal. Jolly, full of fun, ever ready with a pat remark and a happy grin, Harold finds himself blessed with friends. That he ' s clever on the stage he ' s proved beyond a doubt. Harold, you ' re a chap we ' re proud of. Here ' s good luck! MICHAEL SENIO Mayfield, Pa. Mike Athenaean Society. And here is the man that hails from Mayfield. When you know him you will never forget him. His favorite stunts aie playing a trick on one of his Frat brothers and keeping the occupants of fourth floor awake after bells. His favorite book of the Bible is Ruth and he does enjoy reading Ruth ' s quotation, Whither thou goest, I will go. Mike can act dignified, too, but he does not make a practice of it. Watch out, old boy! 86 LUCILLE SEYMOUR Roulette, Pa. ' Sim ' Atheiiaean Society. She reminds you of some pink and white creature, who dwells in the realms of fairyland, or perhaps a character some author describes as having cheeks that challenge the delicacy of apple blossoms. To her many friends the is just Sim , a rollicking, good-natured, sportive type. When she smiles, oh! when she smiles, you just naturally think that this world is naught but sunshine, for two dimples play about the corners of her mouth while her eyes are such as determine the destiny of nations. She likes uniforms, her favorite officers being a Cap . We like you, Sim , and our thoughts are with you wherever you may be. CHARLES SHAVER Meshoppen, Pa. Briggs Behold him! Briggs Shaver, one of the most tal- ented fellows of the class. Fond of good books is he and good looks (in others), tennis, dancing and music. Charles possesses an unusually rich baritone voice — he is indispensable when it comes to Lit. programs and entertainments. Always willing to help and always ready with a cheerful grin. He also possesses an un- usual amount of gray matter as students in his algrebra classes can testify. A friend worthy of the name is Cfa rles and he possesses dozens of them. He ' ll succeed! The good wishes of the class go with him. IVAH SHEPARD Mansfield, Pa. Emersonian Society; Commercial and Regular Nor- mal Courses. Here ' s to the girl with the classical air, Distinguished blue eyes and light wavy hair. In her various couise ' s she ' s leading, Especially in talented reading. To her all acquaintances give their respect, For in Ivah ' s character they no flaws detect; One so noble and ti-ue is very hard to find, That ' s why I toast to this unusual kind. 87 FRANCES SILSBY Newport, N. H. Flask ' Kindergarten; Athenaean Society; Y. W. C. A. ( labinet. Dear, lovable, Frasie , whom every one loves and adores; with her beguiling kewpie smile and her chaining accent. Th ' s little New Englander is full of pep . She sparkles, laughs and has a good time, but her friends know that underneath all this theie is a deeper current. Of cowse she can have a cawking good time with the ge ' ls, She is very innocent ap- pearing, almost tco much so when one knows the larks she is forever up to. Dancing ' and playing the man- dolin are her favorite pastimes. We are proud to call her our classmate. Love and luck to you, Frasie . EDNA SKINNER Du Bois, Pa. Athenaean Society; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Let us introduce the linguist of the class. Edna can speak several different languages fluently and you think a regular Parisian is near when she speaks French. Not only is Edna a linguist, but she is an all-round sort ( f girl, always ready for any wholesome sport and fun. Skinner has pep and she puts pep in you when she is cheer leader. She is always doing something woith-while and thus we know she will succeed. BEATRICE SMITH Susquehanna, Pa. Athenaean Society. Of study took she most care. Beatrice is one of the hardest workers of the class when it ccmes to studying, for that is how she spends all her time, and a good student is she. Latin is her hobby and sometimes we shall see her teaching it in some high school, for the way she can rattle off trans- lations is marvelous. So thoroughly does she know the subject that she now imparts some of her knowledge to the Freshmen by teaching First year Latin. 8 8 HAZEL SMITH Clarks Green, Pa. Athenaean Society; Music Supervisors ' Course. This very amiable lass with winning ways, cheery disposition and happy smile is a source of delight to all her classmates and one in particular, called Collier. She has a sweet soprano voice, and we listen with pleasure to the beautiful tones which float on the air when she sing ' s. She makes an acquaintance whom one always remembers, for in her, good-nature, kindness and common sense are equally blended. IRENE SNYDER Kingsley, Pa. Athenaean Society; Elocution; Regular Normal. How cloth the little busy bee Improve each shining hour. This quotation just related Is very,very truly stated. And all of us do like Irene, From Senior tall to Freshie green. Elocution is sure some work, But never a duty does she shirk. She loves to dance, and especially to Reed ' , Play basketball? Yes, indeed. Before ws leave Irene, we ' d like to say That she is always happy and gay, Ready for fun at any time, And a truer friend is hard to find. NELLIE SQUIRES Mainesburg, Pa. Carontawan Board; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Emersonian Society. A cheerful lass, A pretty lass, A friend sincere and true. This quotation just related is very truly stated and Evan some. Nellie is an all-around girl, fun loving, full of ambition and very conscientious in her work. Wherever duty calls her — whether to Carontawan Board, Y. W. C. A., or Society, she is there. Nellie is one of the few girls of our class who may teach one year, two years — and maybe none. Happiness be all yours, Nellie, is the wish of ' 20. 89 MARGARET STANTON Scranton, Pa. Athenaean Society. Tall, slender, black hair, sparkling eyes, — all these apply fittingly to our Peg . Studious? Oh, yes! but withal witty and energ ' etic, g ay and cheerful, a sure seatterer of blues. No matter what ycur trouble, Peg is always ready to lend a helping hand, or ear — especially in love affairs. Experience talks, etc. Vaguely to us come rumors cf gifts finding their way from third floor to a certain inmate of South Hall in the hospital. Nothing ever worries Margaret, not even Model Schcol, which is enough to make the staunchest heart quail. But Peg goes about it like a member born of the profession. Best of luck to you, Peg . HAROLD STEARNS Starrucca, Pa. Babe Athenaean Society; Basketball; Baseball. One of the Big Boys of the school which the Erie left with us to grow up, but although we have done our best we have failed to a certain degree. If anything is done at school he always gets the blame, but he has such a good understanding we are not worried. Last year he was interested in Russells, but this year it seems to be Scouten. He is one of the few fellows who would rather go to classes than skip them. We are looking for an exciting future for you Babe . GRACE STERLING Morris Run, Pa. Athenaean Society; Literary Editor Carontawan Board. This light-haired lassie is well-named. Everyone admits her grace and charm and her many friends appreciate her sterling woith. Grace is the sort that is an exceptionally good student and yet is not a grind. Her work in classes is well-known, but books do not t ke all her time. She has been known to view the i unrise from far distant Covington, so we know she is fond of hiking. She likes dancing, too. Just a sweet girl with innocent ait And whether she ' s near or whether she ' s far She is a friend from the depths of her heart. 90 MAE STOCKTON Pittston, Pa. Jackie , Maily Athenaean Society. This is Mae — Mae of the creamy complexion, spar- kling eyes, and haughty manner. Everytime Mae honors us with that slow, sweet smile, she gains anoth- er adorer; that is, if you have not fallen before. Her favorite eexpression is, Arr-r-r-o-no . No mention of Mae is complete without Jack , for where Mae is, Jack :s also. However, no one can censor him for that, for she an enchanting companion, droll, lovable and just aloof enough to be interesting. May the gods grant you the success and happiness you deserve. RUTH STRICKLAND Springville, Pa. Athenaean Society. Lovable, easy-going, everything sweet and charming — This is Ruth. Quite slow and deliberate is she and her judgments are usually true and correct. Nothing causes her to have an emotional up heaval — not she — she looks facts straight in the face and always de- cides the rig ' ht way without any violent manifestations. Her favorite expression is Oh, where is my good-look- ing room-mate? I ' ll tell you a secret, friends: Ruth loves variety, her latest being a lad named Dewey Dempsey . Sounds like a fighting combination, but it isn ' t. Here ' s luck and love to you, Ruth. IRENE STROPE Towanda, Pa. Athenaean Society. Here ' s Irene, who has a deep interest in two halls — North Hall and Nathan Hall. Irene is another songs- tress of the class yet it is only a pastime for a school teacher is what she aims to be; but we doubt how long- Rene ' s hearty laugh and friendly manner make us like her and appreciate her for — It is the friendly heart that has plenty of friends. 91 ADA SWINGLE Thompson. Pa. Emersonian Society. Picture a maid of medium height, a fair complexion, dear blue eyes and hair tawny with sold, — that ' s Ada. Calmly efficient and of ready wit, she always meets a puzzling- situation with a laugh and a joke. She has her lessons well and it is said that she ' s an excellent Model School teacher. Ada likes a good time, too, but is quite ready to go home when vacation comes. Has the a better reason than some of us? Ask her! MARION TAYLOR Binghamton, N. Y. Athenaean Society; President Y. W. C. A. Here we have a girl who has just enough seriousness and fun to make her an ideal and that she is. Marion can furnish more fun in a half hour by her wit and humor than a dozen shows. A girl of Brains, a sweet disposition, a winning personality, a sense cf honor and responsibility do we find in her and we are proud to claim her as our president of the Y. W. C. A.. We admire and love her. ALMA THOMAS New York, N. Y. Special Course; Athenaean Society. Said so and so, to so and so, Let ' s sit a while and sew. This is Alma. The little lady with the pleasing pout. She is jolly at times, yes, very jolly, except when con- f.onted with a perplexing problem which compels her l;i use her artistic and remarkable ability as a seams- tiers. We feel certain that Alma will sew her way to happiness and Al ?? This is our ardent wish for Alma. r 2 FLORENCE THOMAS Scranton, Fa. Commercial Course; Athenaean Society. Here ' s to Flo , the ever lovable and excitable Flor- ence. One who is smiling and good-natured all the while. At times, however, we discern a faraway look in those wistful eyes, which undoubtedly accounts for Flo ' s disregard for the opposite sex of M. S. N. S. She is always at her best when seated at the old gym piano playing Take me to the Land of Jazz! May happiness and success go with her. HELEN THOMAS Taylor, Pa. Athenaean Society. Tommie Here ' s to Tommie , slow and easy-going, good- natured Tommie . Always there when it comes to crawling under beds and attending stack up spreads. Good luck to you, Tcmmie , may more friends and good times await you. JAMES TOOLE Miners Mills, Pa. Jimmy , Mr. Jazz, Himself Emersonian Society; Varsity Football; Dance Com- mittee. Big, good-natured, light-hearted Jimmy . He goes along as if he hadn ' t a care in the world. All the girls love to dance with him because he literally sweeps them off their feet, and is one of the best Jazz dancers at the gym social. Jimmy ' s chief ambition is to become a politician and who knows but he may be- come one of the future ' s great men. He was one of our best football men. Good luck to you, Jimmy, and may your ambitions be realized. 93 HELENA TOMLINSON Troy, Pa. Athenaean Society. Helena is a sweet, modest maiden with black, curly hair and black eyes; who is good to look at, and a good companion to be with. She loves nature and takes a great interest in it. If you wish to hike, ask Helena for she is ever-ready to go. She is one of the neatest girls in M. S. N. S. in dress, work and everything- she undertakes. May a successful career be yours, Helena. MYRA TOMPKINS Athens. Pa. Domestic Science; Emersonian Society. A quiet and thoughtful lass is Myra. She always has a pleasant word and a helping hand. Accommodat- ing, studious, yet is always ready for fun when it is the time for fun. She can sew, knit, bake and make the most delicious salads and we are sure that some- day she will have an opportunity to use her course of Home Arts . ORAL THOMPSON Port Allegany, Pa. Athenaean Society. She is just Oral, with fluffy hair and pretty gray eyes, although she always wished she had brown. To know her is to love her. Oral likes to dance. It does not matter whether at a gym social or a country hue- down. Here ' s to your success whether a school teacher or some one ' s domestic lady. We are inclined to believe such a charming person as Oral, won ' t lie left out in the cold, cold world to teach for more than Lwo years. 94 RUTH UTTER Starrucca, Pa. Athenaean Society. Ruth is typical of the fair little maid. She has soft brown hair, eyes of gray-blue, which seem to express her thoughts nearly as well as words could do, and the most enchanting of dimples. She is one of the youngest of the senior class. Ruth is quick, vivacious and truly feminine. She loves dancing, music, and — shall we nay, admiration? At any rate she does not lack ad- mirers. Ask Michael Senio, he knows. Ruth, for all her attractions and love of fun, is quiet, almost retir- ing at times, and an earnest student. M. S. N. S. wishes the best the world can give to our little Ruth. ALICE VIPONI) Scranton, Pa. Athenaean Society. Her very feet hath music as they come tripping up the stairs. For the Third Floor knows well that Alice always comes and goes to the time of Take me to the Land of Jazz. You ' d Be Surprised, or other un -popular favorites. Alice is clever and witty. She can dance, she can sing, she can paint, besides various other ac- ccmplishments. Her eyes are the bluest blue and her cheeks the pinkest pink. For her we predict a success- ful career as a teacher — but For how long, Oh, how long? IRENE WALSH Scranton, Pa. Rene Art Course. Rene believes that A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men. Of course, she doesn ' t let this interfere with her dignity as a post-grad. We wonder at her intense interest in football, probably like Postum, There ' s a Reason . Rene ' s crowning glory is the envy of the poor unfortunates whom fate decreed to have straight locks. It would take a book to name her accomplishments, for she tickles the ivories, dances and sketches with apparent ease. In conclusion we might say that she is one of the most jovial and likeable girls that ever crossed the pike . Success to you, Rene . 95 MARY WALSH Srranton, Pa. Athenaean Society. Mary of the blue eyes and light hair, but then you haven ' t a clear conception of this creature, unless you can imagine a girl whose being is a dynamo of energy and good nature. Mary ' s visits to Elmira were quite frequent. Like Postum, There ' s a Reason. This Scianton girl likes dancing and is fond of music, especially re (ray). Mary believes in the phrase, Don ' t cross your bridges until you come to them , but still she does not shirk responsibility. In conclusion we might say, au revoir. but not good-bye, for parting brings a bitter sigh. GENEVIEVE WARTERS Mansfield, Pa. Behold Genevieve, s weet Genevieve; Genevieve with the winning smile, sunny disposition and ready greet- ing for those whom she meets. Kind-heai ted, earnest, .-ympathetic and always ready for a good time is Genevieve. She is one of those maidens who live down town, joining us each morning with her blooming cheeks and bright eyes which nature has given her. Here ' s success to you, Genevieve. ANNETTE WATERS Scranton, Pa. Buttons , Net Athenaean Society; Piano; Regular Normal. Sweet, amiable, clever, willful, is this brown-eyed, aubumed-haired miss. Overcoming all obstacles that might lie in her path, and keeps headed straight for the goal of success. She stars at the piano. She in- dulges in tennis, including bench anil lawn, dancing, and h kes. Her favorite study was Botany, anil she found out many secrets and specimens when pursuing it in Dorset ' s woods. Buttons , although raised in the city, has acquired a love for agriculture. Perhaps this is simply a continuation of her Botanical study. How about it, Net ? no PAULINE WATERS Towanda, Pa. Regular Normal Course; Piano; Athenaean Society. Little P is what we call her, but this in no sense tells her true worth for in her we find much in little . Pauline ' s time is divided, some to academic subjects, some to the outside world and some to the art of music in which she is a real pianist. Pauline is just like her music, sweet, wholesome and pleasing. May success ci own every effort of your ' s, P . JOSEPH WELLS Mansfield, Pa. Athenaean Literary Society. One of our Mansfield boys who is interested in the girls and has great possibilities for a bright and suc- cessful future if left alone. He has a fine taste for music and is cften heard playing the go od old song, Jingle Bells . He is always there for gym dance and any social event at the Normal. There may be hundreds of students at Mansfield, but there can be only one Joe for us. We predict a bright and happy future for you, Old Man! HELEN WELCH Newport, N. H. Athenaean Society. Helen created somewhat of a sensation when she first arrived as a junior. Will we ever forget when first we heard her talk. Never, oh, never! and those brilliant lecitations Ag class will also be remem- bered. She has pep , brains, efficiency, — merry brown eyes and rosy cheeks, and, oh, how that girl can laugh! What girl could wish for mere? We wish her heaps of good luck and success and we know she will have it. 97 ANNABEL WEST I ' ittslon. Pa. Jimmie Athenaean Society. Annabel is the instigator of many pranks. Full of mischief and a trifle nevrous. She believes in getting her lessens early for when the French lesson is as- signed Annabel starts right in and has it done before the class is dismissed. Her soul beams with joy when she receives her ten-page letters with the down state news. MARGARET WILLIAMSON Mansfield, Pa. Emersonian Society; Violin. Here is Peg- , the talented. How we all sit up and listen when she appears with her violin. She is gen- erous with her music at gym social, for she can coax music out of the gym piano. Peg is very attractive, and we wish her much success. JOHN WITHKA Simpson, Pa. Johnny , Whit Athenaean Society; Varsity Basketball; Varsity Baseball. John is our medium-weight athlete. He surely can travel over the gym floor and handle that basket- ball. He is a sure-shot and it is h ' .s accuracy thit runs the scoie up. John is a good student and is liked by all. He is a favorite in the Fiat , and spends most of his spate time in the Fiat room. John does not care for the fair sex and their Yea, Withkas are not noticed by him. Here ' s joy and happiness to you, John! 98 MARY YANCHITIS Forest City, Pa. Athenaean Society. Mary is tall with clear grey eyes and nut brown hair. The fact that she came a long- distance from home to gain her Normal education shows that she is earnest- ly striving for Victor -y. Her fame is athletics, too, could not be hidden, for, though she is very modest about it, she was a star playing on her home town bas- ketball team. She is truly a ciedit to the class cf 1920. Good luck, Mary! MARIE YENTZER Roulette, Pa. Athenaean Society. Roulette sends to us this merry black-haired, brown- eyed lass. Marie is never idle. After classes are over, one will often find her crocheting, knitting or em- broidering. We wonder if some of these things are not meant for that hope chest . So many large boxes of chocolates have been coming to her through the mail of late, that we are certainly suspicious. Her neigh- bors in North Hall will tell you that she never makes any noise in the hall, but it sometimes is amazing the amount she will make just before a violin lesson. We like you, Marie. JOHN YEOSOCK Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Shock , Jack Athenaean Society; Scrub Basketball. When we started to give John a write-up we didn ' t know just what to say, but it wouldn ' t be complete if we didn ' t mention something of his wonderful line , but as Dorothea Dills told him, it didn ' t have any hcok on it. He is better known by the boys as Shcck . When Shoc-k first came to M. S. N. S. he desired to take pleasure course, but he soon got on the road to knowledge and we expect some day to hear of him in some profession where he can use his wonderful eloquence of voice. 99 ELIZABETH YOUMANS Mansfield, Pa. No mutter how cloudy the weather, how blue the day, here is one who is always the s.me. Elizabeth ' s pink cheeks and pleasant smile make us love her and we don ' t wonder that the opposite sex like her, as is ru- mored. She knows how to fix up sodas and sundaes and we bet she e::n make dales, too. Here ' s to Eliza- beth for a long and prosperous future. FRANCES PAGE Knoxville, Pa. Frances was one of the valuable members of our class. Her earnest and artistic efforts have helped to make the Carontawan a success. Sorry, indeed, are we that she had to leave us. lOO CORNELIUS O ' CONNOR Conny Emersonian Society; Scrub Basketball. Cony ! Our Conny of the engaging grin, the twinkling eyes, the tip- tilted nose, and of the audacious spirit. He likes girls — unlike other Normal boys, and girls like Conny , strange to say. Conny has the happy-go-lucky disposition that never causes gray hairs, except in the locks of his family, but inasmuch as he always pulls through his scrapes, we don ' t worry. Normally bright, he always manages exams with no especial effort; indeed fate seems to favor Conny , and knowing him as we do we can ' t much wonder. Here is to you, Conny O ' Connor. HAROLD J. LANGAN Olyphant, Fa. Douche Emersonian Society; College Prep. Harold came into our midst at the opening of the Winter Term, and in a short time proved to be a real good fellow, and became popular with both sexes. Harold was a very industrious boy, but occasionally found time to trim some of our best boxers. The height of his ambition at present is to become President of the United States, or else light-weight champion of the world, and settle down in a vine covered cottage with Flossie. Good luck, Douche ! SARAH STAHL New Britain, Conn. Billy Emersonian Society. Billy came to us from Emerson College. Her real name is Sarah Elizabeth Steven Stahl. But Billy suits her much better for she is a tiny, dainty little girl with snapping dark eyes and black curls. Billy is a bit aloof at first, but if she decides that you are worthy of her friendship — a true and loyal pal is she. Billy ' s favorite song is The Campbells Are Coming , and at least one Campbell was usually coming or going. And Billy ' s dinner party! We shall never forget it. It will linger in our minds always as one of the happiest events of our Normal career. Dear Billy , we all love you and wish you luck. JANE BLATCHLEY Wellsboro, Pa. This all-round girl whom we all liked, left our class last year during the Spring term. We surely miss her. GEORGE BROWN Tunkhannock, Pa. Good natured! We ' ll say good looking! That ' s him. Industrious? You tell ' em! Sorry not to see him come back to his class. Best wishes. 101 OSCAR Bl RTCH Farmington, Pa. Emersonian Society. Oscar left our midst this year to take up the teaching profession. He has been instructing in the grades at Nelson and according to all reports has been doing tine work. The Seniors regret that he is not with them to complete the course. MARY CRANDALL Osceola, Pa. Mary did not stay with us long this year for shortly after school started she absented herself to go to the Ithaca Conservatory of Music. JOSEPH FERRIS Little Marsh, Pa. Joe Athenaean Literary Society. Joe was with us during the time we were Juniors, but did not return this year. He was a cabinet member of the Y. M. C. A., and very active and full of pep. We miss Joe from our number of Seniors. MILDRED GEROULD Athens, Pa. Mildred did not return to our midst this year. The class of ' 20 surely miss her and her art productions. ALFRED SAYRE Plains, Pa. Al One of the best all-around athletes that ever went to school here; full of pep, never missed a class. AL left us right after Thanksgiving. More attractions else- where. Here ' s luck, Al ! ROBERT STEMPLES Tunkhannock, Pa. Bob Emersonian Society. Robert joined our class late in the Fall Term. He was taking the Commercial Course. Somehow the place had no attraction for him and he left us. We certainly miss Bob . THOMAS McDERMOTT Jessup. Pa. Mac , Poof Emersonian Society. The cheerful boy, full of pep, that was Tom. Always ready with his jokes and wit and popular with both sexes. Good luck, Tom. PEARL TLTHILL Parsons, Pa. The only jewel of our class was Pearl, but during her junior year she was called home. The class of ' 21 now has this valuable member. 102 There are times in our lives when ambition holds sway. Oft times forgotten in the the swirl cf every day tuimoil of life. Sometimes, perhaps, the fight holds fast and it remains uppermost until it has taken shape and formed itself as a part of our whole existence. Then, we strive for a goal, and as we near that goal, another one, higher up or farther away, looms into view and we find ourselves reaching out and struggling onward for the greater achievement just beyond our reach. So it is with school life today. The members of this year ' s Senior class have fastened ambitions far out into life. They think mostly of the struggle for achieve- ment in their life after leaving school. The members of the Junior class, just now, plan on what we will accomplish as Seniors, placing ambitions high, and preparing to make the Class of 1921 one that will go down in the annals of the school as one of renown. With this as our ambition for next year, we can, at this time, look out across the field of life and see our future, wearing an alluring smile and beckoning us to win and place our laurels on the wall of the future! 103 w - ►J Z JUNIOR CLASS ROLL Adams, Jane VVellsboro, Pa.

At a motley throng with colors black and red, Colors for which the athletes fought and bled, The underclassmen shall stare in gaping awe, While graduating seniors read the law: So live that when thy turn comes to pass From out the Mansfield Normal walls for aye, When gongs have sounded for your final class, And the Erie homeward plods its weary way, Thou shalt have thy future purpose clear in view, The pathway of a strong course, nobly bright, At every turn you ' ll know what to do To gain another victory for the right. Be not like the gawky lad that dives And sticks his head into the river ' s mud, But take a careful aim, and then your lives Shall never suffer from a jolting thud. DORMAN GRACE. 108 H x M H Oh c U X H c 50 O K m CO H 53 The Conservatory of Music Mansfield offers an unusually strong course in Music, equal to many of the leading conservatories. Piano, voice, violin, ' cello, organ, and all string and orchestra] instru- ments, together with a very thorough course in harmony, counterpoint, instrumenta- tion are given by the school with highly competent instructors in every branch of the work. The Public School Music Supervisors ' Course is made a prominent feature and large classes are prepared each year to take up this splendid and vital special work. An Orchestra is maintained by the institution for the purpose of giving opportunity for this form of ensemble drill under a competent conductor. The Conservatory is under the direction of Dr. Will Gecrge Butler, the widely- known violinist, composer, and conductor. Dr. Butler has had a long and fruitful experience as a concert performer and teacher and has been intimately associated with seme of the world ' s greatest artists and for the past twenty years has been a teacher in prominent schools and conservatories. He is a pupil of Samuel E. Jacobsen, Ovide Musin, and others and has many pupils holding prominent positions. Dr. Thaddeus Rich, eoncertmeister and assistant conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, recently wrote Dr. Butler: How about a recital? We might give a joint program and play a couple of double things. Miss Elsie M. Farham. a pianist and organist of unusual ability, is at the head of the piano and organ departments. She is a graduate of the School of Music of Syracuse University with the Degree of Mus. B., and is a pupil of Edwin Hughes in piano and of Pietro Yon, one of the world ' s greatest org ' anists. Miss Farnham ' s presiding at the beautiful Austin organ of the school adds very much to the pleasure of the passing day- and she is an excellent and pains-taking teacher. The Conservatory has been fortunate this year in being able to add to its faculty Mis- Florence M. Adel, who is a pianist of unusual lability and has established herself by her frequent recital appearances and her strong work as a teacher. Miss Adel is also a splendid ' cellist and her work en th ' s instrument hits given a great deal of pleasure during the year. She is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and is a pupil of Carl Stasny in pinno and of Virginia Stickney in ' cello. She has recently received the degree of Mus. B. from the Seigel-Meyers School of Chicago. The department of Voice is ably presided over by Miss Cora A. Atwater, who possseses a rich contralto voice of most pleasing quality and who interprets with a rare intelligence. The fact that her program is always full is a strong testimonial to the merit of her work. She is a graduate of Elmira College. The work in voice and piano became so crowded this year that it was decided to add another teacher to assist in these two departments and Miss Sarah Isabelle Bole, of Pittsburgh, has recently come to us very highly recommended. She is a graduate of the Francis Sehiimer School of the University of Chicago, and later did post-graduate study with J. Harry Wheeler and Clement Tete-Doux. She studied for a time with Mme. Magnus, of Chicago. The work in special Public School Methods is given by Miss Vivian Reynolds, who is a graduate of the Horace Mann School of New York, and has had a wide experience as a teacher of music in the grades and in the high school. Miss Reynolds is an excel- lent teacher and produces splendid results. The Conservatory of Music offers at a very low rate of tuition a first class course in the ait of melody and harmony, the universal language. 1 1 2 Art Department Art has been defined as the ability to answer in terms of beauty human need. Art education developes aesthetic taste, broadens vision, increases efficiency, and gives expression to the soul vision in which the artist is both the creator and recorder. We are striving for a new National art in America. Art education has hitherto been regarded as superficial and wholly outside the consideration of the man of affairs. However, the time is coming when harmony and beauty will be accorded deeper importance, and instead of teaching from a realistic and sentimental standpoint, utility is becoming the supreme test as a standard in Art education; utility expressed in terms of beauty, as it is the test of Industry, Education and Life itself. The Department of Fine Arts is conducted in the most modern methods with a thorough course of study. In Representation and Illustration, accurate drawing and good technique from still life and the antique are required, and a direct study from life and nature study through the mediums of water color, charcoal, temperia, pencil, and pen and ink. The classes in Design and Applied Design study the principles of design and their application through the free hand motif charts in different media carried through the crafts of metalry, jewelry, china painting, block painting, stenciling, book-binding, tooled leather and basketry. The course includes a study of plant forms, decorative treatments, color harmonies, interior decoration and poster making. The purpose of the Art Supervisors ' Course is to give a thorough training in drawing, design, color, and construction, together with practice in the adaptation of the details of these subjects to the needs of the children in the public schools. Both theory and the practice of teaching and supervision are given in the Model School and this work includes observations and discussions with the planning of lessons and courses. The study of history of Architecture, Sculpture and Painting is also emphasized and students taking this course have their own reproductions of Historic Ornaments and collections of notes and illustrations. The work done by the art students of the now closing year has been highly gratifying, characterized, as it has been, by enthusiasm, thoroughness, ability and taste of high order, During Commencement week the work of the students will be placed on exhibition in the studios; to this exhibit all are cordially invited. LAURA A. WHEELER. 1 14 Only that which is expressed grows — ' Expression is necessary to evolution. — Emerson. Beside private lessons all Elocution students are given one class lesson a week without extra charge. The work pursued in this class is Pantomime, the technique and practice, lessons from the Evolution of Expresssion, lessons in the art of stage coaching and stage make-up. Also the Emerson College Chansonettes are given to all the Elocution students. These exercises, though simple, aid the pupil to gain poise, good standing position and also promote ease and grace in movement and gesture. Each Senior of the Elocution Department is required to give a recital before graduation. The evening program may consist of either miscellaneous readings or books and plays adaptable to cutting down for reading. Some of the books selected for Senior Recitals this year have been The Little Minister , by J. M. Barrie; Twenty- three and a Half Hours ' Leave, by Mary Roberts Reinhardt; and plays selected have been The Littlest Rebel, by Edward Peple; Madame Butterfly, etc. The Seniors in Music assist in these programs and so help to make the recitals more enjoyable. In addition to the main recitals each graduate in Elocution is required also to select, cast and coach a one-act play as the last number of the program. The Department this year presented The Two Virtues , by Sutro, as the Annual Elocution Play. During the Fall Term a vaudeville was put on to raise money for new scenery which has been obtained. The other plays and entertainments which have come or will come under the direction of the Department are Scenes in the Union Depot , a one-act play presented for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A., Officer 666 , by Augustin MacHugh, given by the Athenaean Literary Society; and Eliza Comes to Stay , by the Emer- sonian Literary Society, which will be the last before the Commencement Play and Y. W. C. A. Pageant. 1 15 One of the most salient features in library extension of the last few years is the growth of interest in school libraries, particularly those in high schools and junior high schools In the larger high schools, nowadays, a well-chosen collection of books is considered to be as vitally necessary as a well-equipped science laboratory. There are excellent lists cf books for such libraries in print. Where no adequate school libraries exist close co-operation between public libraries and schools is becoming ve ry general. It is ' no uncommon practice in city and large town school systems to have a regular schedule of library periods for classes. These periods ,are devoted to instruction in the use of the library, to general reading of a broadening nature, or to special reference work illustrating and augmenting the daily class room instruction. Such efforts to widen the mental horizon of pupils, to enlarge and illustrate the aspect of subjects presented to children, constitute one of the most encouraging tendencies in education today No one who aims to be a real teacher can afford to neglect the help that library facilities offer in this direction. From the preface of a current number of National Library Service , a periodical issued by the U. S. Bureau of Education, the following quotation is taken: ••The libraries must supplement the work of the schools; for the pupils they must furnish, as it were, popular and well illustrated guide-books to help make vital the time table by which the children travel the road of learning, which is about all the managers of that road have to give. Members of the Class of 1920, when you come to teach, see to it that through you your pupils grow richer in knowledge and love of good books. To awaken a desire for reading and to help to satisfy that desire with good reading material are, perhaps, the finest things you can do for your pupils. To put the matter concretely: Plan to start a school library if none exists: having aroused interest and secured the necessary money, be sure that you buy wisely. Do not fail to buy some beautiful, really expensive book or books. A book like Boutet de Monvel ' s ' Moan of Arc is a perfect delight, and a mean, of education in itself. Perhaps the purchase of this individual book would not in your case, be wis,.; but the principle remains that beautiful books should be found in every school library. Ask advice about what to buy— of your Normal School, your State Library Commission, or the librarian of the nearest live public library. There are excellent lists of children ' s books, some of which may be had for the asking. If there is a public library in your vicinity use it to the utmost; establish friendly relation, with the librarian, urge the children to borrow books freely, ami above all things endeavor to grow in grace, so to speak, in your own reading habits. Our times demand breadth of view, mental and spiritual. 1 16 T}epartmer of Home Economics The Department of Home Economics has been much improved this year by the addition of a practice house. Here the girls live and receive their training and (experience in the practical household :arts ' and sciences. As a basis for the Home Economics Course at the Mansfield State Normal School ione should have a good high school training. The course offers all the subjects relating directly or indirectly to home tiaining, such as, cooking, sewing, design, chemistry of foods, textiles, basketry, and home nursing. The aim is two-fold: first to have an intellectual conception of all the parts and activities of the household; secondly to train for teaching. Each senior in Domestic Science is required to give a demonstration in cookery. She also has an opportunity to gain real experience in the teaching of the cooking and sewing classes of the regular Normal Course and in the upper grades of the Model School. Another feature of the work is the preparation and serving of hot lunches in the Model Sc ' hool, connected with the Normal. Besides, the class has an opportunity for considerable experience in the cooking and serving of numerous dinners, luncheons and spreads for various social occasions. The Domestic Science Cottage is convenient and ' home-like, having a fireplace in the living-room, an attractive window-seat in the dining-room, a large, well equipped kitchen and very pleasant student rooms. The girls are happy in their home and have the prospect of good positions upon ' tihe completion of the course. :SADIE M. SMITH. 117 Professional training in Commercial subjects is really in its infancy although within the past few years a marked change has been noted by the rapid introduction of Com- mercial Education in High and Normal Schools. This in- crease in the number of Commercial Departments in High and Normal Schools has caused a corresponding need for Com- petent Commeicial teachers and this condition paves the way for excellent positions for teachers who are equipped to give instruction in the Commeicial branches. The salary in these positions is higher and the opportunity for promotion much greater than in the regular Public school work. Mansfield State Normal School offers this training and in the following courses: The combination course, which includes stenography, typewriting and bookkeeping. This can be completed in two years, and with the regular Normal work. This training prepares not only for teaching, as other Normal graduates, but also to teach Com- mercial subjects, or to work as stenographer. The regular business course, comprised of shorthand, typewriting, rhetoric, penmanship, spelling and office training In the above courses a graduate must be able to take dictation of average difficulty at the rate of one hundred words a minute and transcribe it with reasonable accuracy and speed; also to pass a test of fifty words a minute on the typewriter from plain ' copy. The typewriting course is planned for students wishing to study only typewriting; or added to bookkeeping, gives a very practical course according to present day needs. ' We teach one standard system of shorthand, the Gregg System, which has grown into popularity very rapidly by reason of its simplicity, its relative ease of acquirement and practical efficiency. The instruction in touch typewriting is organized to develop accurate, artistic and rapid typists, since a stenographer ' s value is in proportion to the degree of efficiency acquired in each of these three qualities. Accurate typing is the only kind that has Commercial value. Then comes a careful elaboration of the various recognized standards of form in letter writing, tabulation, centering and other related subjects. The demand for Commercial teachers and for stenographers, typists and book- keeper i, much greater than the supply. Every year the call increases while there S not a corresponding increase in the number of well-trained men and women to meet the demand. 1 18 Each year the Kindergarten has been permitted a page in the Carontawan — and each year we have told only of our light and airy room. The activities which bring forth the real se!f, and the benefits gained by the little children who love to come here each day. But never have we told of our leward — given in the unconscious speech of the children, whose daily sayings aie a souice of ever-living joy and amusement. What did San ' a Clause biing you for Christmas, Homer? — he brought me a God-book. What is in your book? ' Oh — linth and tigerth and little boys flying upwaidth. Charlott (looking for the two little sons of the Methodist minister) — Have the little preacher-boys come yet? What is Santa Claus going to bring you? Marshall — We asked for a horn and a tea-pot. Robert S. (having received a picture postal of alligators — also having gone through the siege of scarlet fever) — Whe;e is my picture of the fumigators? Pauline (indicating the gymnasium) — ' Aie we going to play in the vaccination today? These are but a few of the many bright things that fond kindergartners love to quote under the caption — Wait ' til I tell you what so and so said today — and these are our daily reward. 1 19 ►J c c a v. -1 W C W K H The Model School The Model School is a large fire-proof, concrete structure which stands near the campus of the Normal School. It contains two floors and a basement. There are thirteen well-lighted classrooms, an office, and an assembly hall for public entertain- ments and exercises in which the school as a whole participates. In the basement are playrooms for both boys and girls, sanitary toilets, and an up-to-date ventilating system. About three hundred pupils are enrolled. They reside either in Mansfield borough or in Richmond Township. The township children are transported by school vans, thirteen in number. The course of study and the system of administration vary in no material way from those of a well conducted Grammar School. The teachers are seniors from the Normal School who are given a year of practice teaching under conditions similar to those in any well regulated school and the student teachers here put into practice the pedagogical principles which are taught them in the Normal School. They, in turn, are supervised by critics who are specialists. Much of the success of the Model School is due the Principal, Prof. E. A. Retan, former Superintendent of Schools in Tioga County. The Grammar grades edit a paper called, The Mirror . Into this goes the best material the students are able to produce in literature and art. Sewing, cooking, agriculture, and manual training are given proper recognition upon the program. Warm lunches are served to the rural pupils at actual cost. The school is not interested in itself alone, but it endeavors to pass its blessings on to others. Each Thanksgiving time, some of the produce from the school gardens are distributed to the lonely and needy. This year they have been piecing quilts for the Harrison Valley Orphanage. As the ultimate aim of education is to develop mind and body, the Model School trains the child physically as well as mentally and morally. The primary grades have special periods for supei-vised play. During this time a great variety of games are played and many stories are dramatized. The intermediate and grammar grades play football and basketball, each team having a teacher as its coach. The Normal gymnasium is at their disposal for a short time each day. They may well be proud of their many victories over neighboring schools. The classrooms and halls are beautifully decorated with appropriate pictures and statues. In the lower hall are five large paintings illustrating the founding of Pennsylvania. These pictures are colored reproductions of the famous paintings by Violet Oakley, the originals of which are found in the State Capitol at Harrisburg. These pictures tell, as can no history, the great fundamental principles which underlie the early history of our state and are as invaluable for their historic interest as for their beauty. The climax of the year comes when the Eighth Grade appears in Assembly Hall to receive their diplomas from the county superintendent. Here the girls wear the dresses made by themselves in their sewing classes. Surely one does not need a better proof of the success of the Model School than is manifested by the character of the Eighth grade classes which are graduated in June. BERNICE L.

HOUSE ;.;-.? . ■ ,,,:■- -. :■.-■: ■-:■■■■■ Y. W. C. A ROOMS The Y. M. C. A. The boys of the class of 1920 may be justly proud of the way in which they have co-operated in the erection of the Y house. The students to be of the Mansfield State Normal can but be grateful to them, and to the trustees of the school, for making possible the enjoyment of a privilege which few schools give to those in attendance. There has been much work necessary to accomplish this object, more than would appear to the unobservant. There has been much labor entirely unnoticed, done without any reward except the satisfaction of duty well done. Y meeting! What tender memories the years may bring, time alone can tell, but can we ever forget our school days, the Thursday nights, the lusty singing such as only a group of boys can produce, the prayer, the counsel of our wiser friends, speeches by our fellow students, the benediction, and the resolution to be something better than we have ever been. Silent vows are easily broken, easily made, often broken, often made, and yet, — there are some lessons we cannot forget, some things which cling to our memory we know not how, and taken together, shape our purpose and mould our life. Last year the committees often met to consider plans for the coming year. One important session was convened from 1:00 p. m. till 4:30 p. m. At this meeting the amount of money to be used by each committee was detei mined, a sketch of the new ' Y house was drawn up by the secretary, the purpose of the association was discussed and delegates for the Blairstown conference were chosen. Only a few boys were discouraged. Most of them held high hopes of realizing their wishes, and now those hopes are steadily coming tiue. The purpose of the Y. M. C. A. is to develop the moral, mental, physical and spiritual in the life of members. Of great moral, mental, and spiritual influence have been the regular meetings. At 6:15 on Thursday nights the boys would gather in the Y house for their mid-weekly service. Faculty men, students, prominent citizens of the town, and others, would give encouraging talks to the boys, helping to influence them in the right way. There was much of the Christian spirit present. Heart to heart talks bring people closer together and bring about sympathy and understanding. The Bible study class met during the quiet hour in the Library every Sunday. It was under the direction of the chairman of the Bible Study and Mission Study Committees. There was a large class, and there was always a keen discussion on any topic which chanced to come to the notice of the students. The Life of Christ as a Friend Saw Him and Life and Works of Jesus were the topics for the winter term. The boys in attendance agreed that this was more value than any other class. The physical side also received attention. All the boys were not given a chance to play on the athletic teams. Natulrally, only the best athletes receive physical training, because to promote school spirit and to win the day, we must put our best into the games. The Y comes to the rescue of the boy who likes to play but who is 126 not as skilled as the ' big fellows , and gives him a chance to develop his muscles by taking part in the programs held in the gymnasium twice each month. In these programs there were such sports as boxing, wrestling, mask games, niggers on the log , and many others. The new Y house has cost a large sum of money, temporarily loaned by the school, to be paid back as soon as possible by the organization. The Y has several means of raising this money; by subscriptions of the alumni and others interested in the school some can be raised, but we shall have to depend in the main upon the work of the association for funds. These funds have been raised by the sale of confectionery, stationery, and the official Y. M. C. A. pennant. The Association News , a paper printed by the organization was a source of some profit. Probably the events which brought the greatest sums to the treasury were the vaudevilles, presented from time to time; Dr. Butler ' s talent and executive skill have always made these a great success. The officers of the Y. M. C. A.: President, Roscoe Austin; Vice President, Harold Seamans; Treasurer, Clifford Foote; Secretary, Nathan Hall; General Secretary, Leigh Lott. The chairmen of the committees: Mission Study, Galen Mclnroy; Publicity, Leo Pelton; Membership, Roy Bixby; Devotional, Leigh Lott; Deputation, Charles Shaver; Bible Study, Nathan Hall; Employment, Paul Jackson; Athletic, Prof. Webster; Social, Harold Brooks; House, Harry Corey. HURRAH FOR THE Y Come, all give a cheer and a rah for the Y That means so much to you; Jump up in the air and toss your hats high, For that ' s the way to do. Should any one ask you about the Y , Just tell him ' tis all O. K.; ' Tis the best bunch of guys in the country, why, ' Tis a-hall, all right, you ' ll say. But that ' s not the best way to help in the game, There ' s another far better than that: To buckle right in, and to root just the same, Is better than waving your hat. i 127 H g 5 8 a, e M n Q ► EL H E cs J= c H S c o n M B CC 5 -a -a Young Women ' s Christian Association Faculty Advisor — Miss Elsie M.

Mansfield State Normal School was made a member of the State Association, which belongs to the International Y. W. C. A., in October. 1888; in November, 1906, it became a charter member of the Y. W. C. A. of the United States of America. Our Association at present numbers one hundred and fifty persons, of which seventy-five were enrolled at the beginning of the Fall Term. New members are received into the Association each year by the candle-light service. On every Thursday evening after supper, the regular meeting is held at which two students, a Senior and a Junior, usually preside. The schedule is varied with talks by the faculty members, by speakers from town, and by out-of-town guests. During the Fall Term one especially interesting meeting was held, at which Miss Marie Dean, a substitute member of the faculty, related her experiences as a canteen worker in France. Union meeting-s with the Y. M. C. A. are held at different times during the year. At least once a term we join in a song or prayer service in first floor corridor, At the conclusion of the week of prayer from November 9-15, which meetings were led by members of the faculty, Dr. Straughn gave a much appreciated talk on Prayer to the joint associations. Our World Fellowship Class, which takes the foim of a discussion group, met on Wednesday afternoon, from five to six, during Winter Term, under the leadership of Miss McClelland of our faculty The Way of Christ , by Alexander C. Purdy, was taken as a guide. These meetings proved interesting and helpful. During the Spring Term much enthusiasm in regard to the Eight Week Clubs was aroused. The Social Service department has made gifts and donations to the Northern Tier Children ' s Home at Harrison Valley. The Foreign Mission fund has been obtained by assessing each member two cents per w eek and also by donations. Some of the social events of the year have been: a reception to the new members, a bloomer party, a baby party. Many of our money-raising schemes have proved to be delightful social affairs. Just before Christmas vacation, we held a Japanase Bazaar. In the Winter Term the chief financial project was an entertainment featuring a one- act play.

The purpose of the association is, to quote from the Constitution, to develop the girls ' sense of responsibility, to bring out the best in ourselves and our fellow students, to increase the sense of honor and to maintain older in the dormitories. This is the second year of student government, though there have been difficulties to overcome, yet we know that the road to Success is not smooth and wide and travelled with ease. How proud we will be, in later years, that we can say that student government was started in M. S. N. S. while we were there.

H J IZ --- W iz w = Athenaean Society We, Athenaeans of 1920, feel justly proud of the fact that we have maintained the record again this year of being the largest society in the school. It has meant hard work and untirirs: effort, especially for the officers and various committees in charge, but their effort has been rewarded by the great success of the society this year. At the beginning of the Fall Term competition with the other societies for new members was very keen; but finally the purple and white claimed many of the new students, among them being some distinguished personages. These new members, along with the faithful old ones, have striven to make the meetings instructive and entertaining. From the very first the year ' s work has been characterized by originality. Evidence of the value of the programs gnven during the year is to be found in the appreciative audience and favorable reports of the faculty critics. Plays, readings, pageants, debates, and various other numbers have appeared in pleasing combinations. As this goes to press the debating team, which was chosen through preliminaries and inter- society debates, are working hard in preparation for their Annual Debate with the Emersonians. Kind reader, if you are a prospective student at M. S. N. S., do you not think that a society with such ambitions and accomplishments as ours should be your choice of societies, and would you not be proud to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before? We, Seniors of ' 20, must now break the bonds which have bound us so closely these past two years; one of them being the ties of Athenaeanship. But though we break these ties we will never forget nor fail to ibe loyal to the Banner of the Purple and White: While the river runs into the sea, While shadows move round the convex mountains, While heaven feeds the stars— ATHENAEAN LIT. SOCIETY — YOUR honor, name and praise with us shall ever live, To whatever clime we are called. — Helen M. Jones. OFFICER 666 A melodramatic farce by Augustin MacHugh.

Resulting ' from this four literary societies were established. The Emersonian Society from the beginning promised to be one of the leading societies. The test of a good society is the loyalty of its members and their willingness to do their part. That which stamps a society as worthwhile is the quality of rthe programs; the Emersonian society is aible to recall with pride the comments of their various ciitics. Proud, indeed, are those who wear the brown and gold; proud because their colors have stood the test of years; proud because of the spirit of loyalty to the Red and Black. The programs have consisted of much original work, such as original plays, poems and musical numbers. Some evenings have been given over to the studying of the lives and works of authors, others to debates and m.rceilaneous work. During the early part of the fall teim several members of the society felt that there should be a song that all Emeisonians could call their own. As soon as they had made known their desire a good fairy put into the mind of one of our talented members the words of Dear Old Emersonian . The society is progressing lapddly in every lespect. We can leave this June with a feeling that its success is assured for the coming years. — Nellie E. Squires. DEAR OLD EMERSONIAN Tune: Dear Old Pal 0 ' Mine. Dear Old Normal School Days Dear to young and old, You have brought to me friends so true. For beneath your colors Float the Brown and Gold. The Gold and Brown of loyalty to you. CHORUS Oh. dear old loyal Emersonian, We ' re true to you, Oh Emersonian. Red and Black above you, — Gold and Brown we love you — The beauty of you. Emersonian ! When we leave old Mansfield Though we wear a smile, Hearts somehow won ' t seem so g - ay — We will love you alway, Want you all the while, And wait till we ' ll be coming back some day. — E. M. 135 TO MY ALMA MATER Her massive, high-crowned turrets tower toward the skies, Tall, staunch, abrupt, and strong her lofty towers rise; Here gather all the strength of youth and life. Here all assemble to begin the stiife. To rally ' round a standard to them dear, — Behold the host of eager learners gathered here! From hill, from valley, from the rolling plain, From bay, from headland come they all to gain The badge of knighthood, here to win their sours, To clear the picture which unknown ignoianee blurs, To make the truth their master and to learn The joy with which true living learners burn. Xo moat of stagnant water circumscribes Its noble limits; for what race, what tribes Of war or enemies of law and life. What hosts of looting robbe s running rife Can seize the treasure which its walls enfold, Which has no price in silver or in gold? Youth comes to gain the prize which wisdom gives To all who ask, to every man that lives Who toils for myriad moments at her door; This richest p:ize he ' ll carry evermore, And. oft as he shall caie to pass it on, Still he shall find none of his treasure gone. When snows have melted from the mountain tops, knights spring Into their saddles, make the valley ring With resounding echoes, curb with no slack rein Their spirited chargers o ' er the retreating plain, O ' ercome vain, slothful ignorance in his cell, Call every task unfinished till ' tis deemed done well. O, school that has chosen thus to bless Thy living youthful folk with sacred, calm caress, Thru the unwinding scroll of future, approaching years, O give us courage to allay the fears Of those who know not how nor what to dream To make their lowly cell a gilded palace seem. Help to teach, for that our mission is, To do thy bidding, lofty castle, his Who once has called thy liberal chambers home. Who once has viewed the future from thy golden-crested dome, And, living, let us live as teachers should, For only noble living can inspire the sacred good. — Dorman I. Grace. 136 IF (With apologies to Rudyard Kipling) If you can keep your books when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can leave the hay at three to seven And go to breakfast feeling fresh and new. If you can answer all the questions stated As your teacher passes down along the aisle, And give your views on all the things debated Get thirty in examination — nor fail to smile. If you can go to shows with your best fellow And never take your place in the back row, And when the room is naught but total darkness Act just as if the place were all aglow. If you can go to bed without lying On racquets, brooms and things of every sort, And take the chestnut burrs from out your pillows, And take it all, just laugh and be a sport. If you can hide your friends in every corner, Then answer raps by shouting ' Come on in , A nd when the proctor asks about the noises, Look wise as if you knew not how to grin. If you can wait until the mail ' s delivered, And see no letters pushed beneath your door, While all your friends are doting on their boxes, And you keep on — nor act the least bit sore. If you can keep the money that is sent you By passing all the stores about the town. And leave your light on after your supposed to, ' N no one calls you up to call you down. If you can get away with all your mischief, And have no other person on your track By stacking rooms and hiding in clothes presses And not a soul is wise to all your acts. If you can do all the things I ' ve mentioned And graduate among the honored ones, I ' ll hand it to you for your nerve and cunning, For you ' ve done the things which I think can ' t be done. — Dorothy Dills. 138 GYM DECORATED FOR Y RECEPTION The Question Box Q.

He told me to go and Hunt for the Carpenter as he was a Major in the reserves. I went the Rounds asking the other servants, even down to the Page, about the Garrison, but not a word would he Utter. I called Samuel and told him to get the Ford ready for a spin to the Park, but he informed me that the car was Schott to pieces, and that I would have to go on Foote. I picked up my hat and Kane and went out to Seymour. It was a bright, clear Day and the sun shone brightly over the Roof of the Church steeple which could be seen in the distant West. I could hear the Wa- ters of the Brooks rippling over the Stones, as they wended their way to- ward the Wood. As I was Nearing the top of the Knoll I saw the famous Wells owned by the Welch people of the next town. At the top of the Knoll there were two But- ton-Wood trees. Close to the road I Neal-(ed) down under the trees to Heyd from the sun ' s warm rays which made my Blood Boyle and my head Payne. When I reached the village I saw the Holmes of the Mayer and the Squire. I went up and knocked at the door of the former and asked for the Mayer. A man with the features and strength of Sampson told me in a Harsh voice that he had gone to the Beach to Crues about in his new Craft. I next went to the Squire ' s home which was a large, massive Stone struc- ture with French windows. On the door was his name in Gold(en) letters, while a Fox head of Sterling silver served as a knocker. A Foote man informed me that his Grace had gone to the movies to see the Griffith production, The Weaver and the Baker. After finding that the two persons I had counted on telling me about the Garrison were out, I decided I would walk up town and the n go back home. On the Main Street I was greeted by a Manley Lehman whom I had not seen for years. We talked about old times and then I went up a side street toward home. I had not gone very far when I saw a Seaman come swinging down the street looking over ia Bond which he had just purchased at the bank. I was soon at the edge of the village and as I was a fast Walker I soon reached home but I was very tired from my journey. I hope that God will Grant me strength and that I may soon be Straughn enough to take the trip again. Harold Brooks. 143 IFS Poetry in Embryo If they gave a speed test in shorthand would Jay Baldwin?

GO e e « 2 « «m eg si 11 u eg b o h - : e ■- o a u CO fe ATHLETICS Notwithstanding: the fact that the record of the football team was not as good as those of some former teams, nevei Iheless Mansfield has had a very successful year in athletics. Ronald C. Kichl ' ne. one of the best athletes ever produced at Ursinus College, has been head coach of all the athletics. This is Coach Kichline ' s fourth year at Mansfield and during these four years he has turned out several championship teams. He has gained for himself a far-ieaching ' .eputation because of his ability to take inexperienced players and whip them into winning combination. As is always the case in each branch of athletics, there have been men, who, as candidates for teams, have given and done their best f 1 om the start of the season until the clore, and have failed to make their letter. Even though it has not been their good fortune to repiesent Mansfield against its opponents still they have helped to make the Mansfield teams and much credit is justly theirs. However, there is nothing we can say to detract from the honor which justly belongs to each Vaisity man. The football team was composed of a heavy, inexperienced line and a fast, light backfield. These facts combined w.th a wet, soft field, we ' e responsible for the defeat at St- oudsburg and the la- ge score made by Sy acuse F: eshmen. The Indiana game the best game of the year, should have ended a scoieless tie. The team was in poor condition at the time of the Bellefonte game. The promised return of five Varsity men and several leserves should assure a strong team next year. Tht basketball team was one of the best ever produced at Mansfield. During the season Mansfield and Bloomiburg teams clearly proved themselves to be in the class of Normal Schools. The de ' a ' lr fo: a game between the two teams were arranged when Bloomsbu ' g cancelled, thus giving Mansfield the basketball championship. The track team was the second team to win a championship for Mansfield this year. As we go to press the prospects are very bright fo a great baseball season. With the fi ' st four games resulting in victories for Mansfield over Corning North Side, Bellefonte Academy, Alfred University, and Cascadilla Prep, there is little doubt but that the strong Mansfield team will win the majority of the eighteen games. 149 FOOTBALL THE GAMES I. Union-Endicott H. S. 6— Mansfield 7 When the strong ' Union-Endicott team came to Mansfield October 4th for the first football game of the season, the strength of the Normal team was prac- tically unknown. The visitors played an aggressive game and deserve much credit for their plucky fight. Lack of experience, poor team work and over- confidence on the part of the home team made the game slow and listless. The Normal team gained much more ground than their opponents, but a considerable amount of this ground was lost through penalties and fumbles. II. Galeton 0— Mansfield 116 Just when the team was fast rounding- into shape and should have met good strong teams, St. Bonaventure ' s Academy cancelled the game scheduled for October 11, and Cansius Prep, cancelled the game for October 18. Coach Kichline telegraphed to over twenty different schools in an effort to fill at least one of these open dates. At last Galeton con- sented to a game October 18. This team was no match for Mansfield, as is shown by the s core. Neary scored 8 touch- downs, Shaute 4 and Frolich 3. White played best for Galeton. III. Waverly Bus. College 0— Mansfield 28 The third game of the season was played at Smythe Park October 25th, against Waverly Business College. Dur- ing the first half Waverly made a stub- born fight and Mansfield did not score until the close of the second quarter when Tuiock broke through the line for a touchdown. The second touchdown came at the beginning of the third quar- ter, when Onerato blocked a punt and Johnson recovered it. Near the close of the same quarter, after long runs by Neary, Shaute and Everett, Neary made the third touchdown. On the kick-off, Shaute drove the ball far beyond the goal posts and when Waverly attempted to run it out they were stopped on Mans- field ' s 4-yard line. In the next play Lip- pincott threw Sloeman behind the goal li ne for a safety. At the start of the final quarter Mclnroy blocked a punt on Mansfield ' s 1-foot line and Frolich fell on the ball for the last touchdown. Waverly never worked the ball inside of Mansfield ' s 30-yard line. IV. Stroudsburg Normal 7 — Mansfield ( On November 1st the team went to Stroudsburg. Playing in a driving rain and on a field that in the last half re- sembled a sea of mud, Mansfield lost what should have been an easy victory. This was the first time in several years that these two schools have participated in athletics against each other and both schools were more than anxious to win. In fact, several former graduates of Stroudsburg enrolled as students just to play against Mansfield. The Mans- field team outclassed their opponents in every respect. Except when they made their touchdown Stroudsburg never got the ball on the 40-yard line. This hap- pened in the third quarter when Strouds- burg blocked a punt on the 40-yard line. The ball rebounded out of reach of any Mansfield player and Beville picked up the ball for an easy touchdown. Gordon kicked the goal. Later in the same pe- riod of play Sayre, behind perfect in- terference, ran 55 yards through the en- tire Stroudsburg team for a touchdown. Shaute failed to kick the goal. Mans- field had 20 first downs to Stroudsburg ' s 1 50 one. They also had the ball on the 10- yard line three times and once on the 5- yard line, but failed to score because of penalties. The playing ' of Turock, Neary, Sayre, Toole and Lippincott was exceptionally good, while Jones starred for Stioudsburg. Alfred University — Mansfield 10 The following week in a desperate struggle at Hornell, N. Y., Mansfield de- feased an old rival, Alfred, by the score of 10 to 0. An extract from Elmira papers said, The Nomal football team, al ' hough (he lighter, possessed the greater punch, a better drilled attack, and a better line than Alfred and while the latter pu+ up a brilliant fight from start to finish, the black jerseyed Nor- mal team could not be stopped. In the thi ' d quarter by use of line plunges Mansfield carried the ball to the 25-yard line. Here Frolich grabbed a forward pass for a touchdown. Shaute kicked the goal. Later in the same qua ' ter he also kicked a fie ' d goal from the 15-ya ' d l ' ne after a wonderful 50-yard run by Frolich. VI. Bidlefon ' e Academy 34 — Mansfied When the team went to Bellefonte November 15, seven regular players were in poor condition owing to injuries. Turock and Everett did not even make the t-ip. Before the game started, Mansfield, with a light and inexperienced back. ' ield, knew that their only hope of victory practically rested with one man, Neary. In the fi s f quarter Neary was hui t and the morale of the team was b-cken. Bellefonte direc+ed their full attack fist at one tackle and then at the other. Captain Foreman was the hei o of the game. VII Indiana Normal 14 — Mansfield November 22, in one of the best games of football ever played at Smythe Park, Indiana defeated Mansfield 14-0. The game was bitterly contested from start to finish and the score does not indicate how evenly the teams were matched. Indiana won because they were an older, more experienced team and because they had a heavier backfield. For forty min- utes both teams used all kinds of plays in an attempt to score, but the ball was always near midfield. Indiana ' s first touchdown came near the close of the third quarter when it seemed certain the game would end in a scoreless tie. It was third down with Indiana in pos- session of the ball on Mansfield ' s 30- yard line. On a fake line buck Faust shot a long forward pass to Hill for the touchdown. The second touchdown was scored on a fumble. Captain Foreman kept up the fighting spirit of the team all through the game, besides playing his be t game of the year. Frolich. Spar- row, Shaute and Fadden, all played superb ball, as did Heriick, Murman and Hill. VIII. Syracuse Fresh 53 — Mansfield Thanksgiving Day the unbeaten Syra- cuse Freshmen team came to Mansfield for the final game of the year. This team, which averaged more than 200 prunds per man, is said by experts to be the beit Freshmen team ever turned out at Syracuse. The field was soft and muddy and the giant forwards just pushed their way through the Mansfield line Wi ' h the line men tearing great holes in the Normal line the Freshmen backs made many long gains. After Everett and Captain Foreman were in- jured early in the game Lippincott, Neaiy. and Turock were the only Mans- field players who could hold their own against this giant football machine that outweighed them 30 pounds per man. THE PLAYERS Sullivan Onerato, left end, height 5 feet 7 inches; weight 160. No one that saw Duke plowing through the mud at Stroudsburg will ever question his ability as a football p ' ayer. A fast, rugged man; shifted to end from his accustomed position at full-back, he soon learned to play his 157 new position equally as well as the old one. Football was move atti active to Puke than was his studies and he left school soon after the close of football. one greatest ambition was to get hurt once. Th ' s desire was gratified in the game against Alfred. Hack was never qui.e the same after that. Walter Foreman, captain, left tackle; height 5 feet 11 inches; weight 187. Big Walt was undoubtedly the hardest wo king man on the team. A big man and a heady player, he always kept the fighiing spiiit in the team. When a gain was needed through the line he was generally called upon to open the hole. Possessed of that never-say-die spirit, he made a good captain and should be a tower of strength on next year ' s team. Thomas Fadden, left guard; height 5 feet 10 inches; weight 190. Icabod had never played much foot- ball befce last fall, but he more than made good in his first real attempt at the game. He did not play many quar- ters in the fist few games but in ea ' -h game he improved and at the close of the season many declared him to be the best line-man on the team. Next year he should be a wonder at stopping line rushes and blocking punts. James Toole, center; height 6 feet 1 inch; weight 180. At center was the one and only long- geared erratic, happy-go-lucky Jimmie, often referred to as Horse. Center was a new position for Jimmie, but even at that he played some good games. His best game was at Stroudsburg and he .-ure had his Irish disposition with him that day. Horse ' s favorite play was a center rush. Ernest Johnson, right guard; height 5 feet 10 inches; weight 205. This was Hack ' s third year on the Varsity team. Being an experienced lino-man he started fast, always charg- ing hard and low. By main strength he held his own against every opponent. His Joseph L ' ppincott, right tackle, height 5 feet 11 inches; weight 212. Lipp ' was the largest man on the team. When his fighting spirit was up he hurled his great body against the line with an almost irresistible force. He ' was a cool, steady player, liked the game and made good from the very stari. His playing against Syracuse stood out prominently. He, with Foreman and Fadden should form the nucleus of a great line for next year ' s team. Joseph Sparrow, right end; height 5 feet 7 inches; weight 140. Playing at end beside the giant Lip- pincott was Spotts Sparrow, the smallest player on the Varsity. Several times during the year he was shifted from one position to another, but his natural position was at an end. Being a small man he would lay close to the ground on the defense, dodge the inter- ference, and tackle the man with the ball. His best game was against Indiana. William Frolich, quarterback; height 5 feet 7 inches; weight 160. Blink played all the positions in the backfield and two games at end before he was permanently stationed at quarter bark. At this position he ran ' he team well, got the plays off fast, was a good end runner and a strong defensive play- er. His work throughout the Indiana game was superb, but his most brilliant game was against Alfred. Bayard Neary, right halfback; height 5 feet 8 inches; weight 160. Neary was by far the best line bucker on the team. In every game his terrific line plunges were in evidence. During his two years on the Varsity Meba started and finished every game on the 152 schedule and went throughout two whole seasons without once calling time out — a record no other player on the team can claim. His best games weie against Slroudsbuig and Indiana. Joseph Shaute, left halfback; height 5 feet 10 inches; weight 165. No player deserves move credit for the showing of the team than does Lefty Shaute. Inexperienced at football, he learned the game fast, started at end, but was soon shifted to the backfield where he probably gained more ground than any other player. He could punt aid throw forward passes equally well. At end running he was the best on the team. We perdict him to be a star of next year ' s team. George Turock, fullback; height 5 feet 7 inches; weight 175. From the very start of the season Turk was the choice for the fullback position. He was a good line bucker, and a strong man to lead interference, but on the defense was where Turk shone. When it came to tackling and taking men out he stood in a class by himself. Next year he will try his hand at college football. His best games were Strouds- burg and Syracuse. Walter Everett, halfback; height 5 feet 11 inches; weight 165. Whitey was the champion hard luck player of the year. He starred in the backfield two years ago and much was expected f om him this year. Even though he did not return to school until after the football season had started he showed flashes of his old form in the Waveily game and was fast rounding into shape when he was severely injured in the Stroudsburg game. Several times later in the season he attempted several unsuccessful come backs . Peter Hubiack. guard; height 5 feet 6 inches; weight 170. Even though playing football was an entire ' y new experience for Hugcack , he took to the game like a duck to water. After the first few g-ames he was dis- placed as a regular by heavier, more experienced men. He was the most valu- able substitute on the team, and played at least a part of nearly all the games. Ro ' -coe Austin, tackle; height 6 feet 2 inches; weight 175. Like all the other first string substi- tutes. Ror-k was inexperienced at foot- ball. He was always out for practice, giving the veiy best that was in him. He made all the trips and by his hard work played enough quarters to make his let- ter. After replacing Captain Foreman in the Syracuse game he played stellar football. Galen Mclnroy, center; height 5 feet 10 inches; weight 170. Mac not only gave a good account of himself when playing center, but he could play any position on the line. He was ill part of the season, which kept him out of several games. He replaced Toole in the Indiana game and played the whole game against Syracuse. A hard worker, a scrappy player; he de- serves his letter. 153 a _: -c a J. rj s .« u u a X X - E x: j S ■— ■ j  - i ? DC S3 ■J M H B W - ' c (0 -E =. V - C - ' M -C u — hi .

The ability of the Normal team was practically unknown, as Captain Withka was the only Varsity man left f iom last year ' s team. The Normal team took the floor with Withka in his old position as forward. At the other for- ward position was the left handed Shaute, a new comer in basket-ball, but a star football man. Schwall, a foimer Wilkes-Barre High School player start- ed at center. The guards were Lippin- cott, the big football tackle, and Demp- sey. During the game Schools, a for- mer Bloomsburg star, replaced Dempsey and Stearns, last year ' s scrub center, took Schwall ' s place. Although the game was olose throghout, Mansfield was ahead the whole 40 minutes. With- ka was easily the star of the game, his all around work being the means of keeping the home team in the lead. Mansfield 36— Alumni 29 When the Normal team started the game against the Alumni on January 24, there was only one change in the line- up of the team that started against Glen Lyon, that being Schools in place of Dempsey. The team, showing a great improvement in form started off with a rush and at times their team work and shooting bewildered the old grads. Still the Alumni team was made up of for- mer M. S. N. S. stars and it was not an essy game for the Normal. Withka caged 9 field goals and scored 26 points. In holding Kim Marvin to two field goals, Lippincott accomplished a feat no other guard has ever equalled. The floor work and foul shooting of Marvin, coupled with the guarding of Doc Doane, made the game one of great in- terest. Mansfield 28— Bellefonte Academy 25 The first game played away from home was won at Bellefonte January 30 by the score of 28-25. The game, which was well played, ended with the score a 23-23 tie. During the extra five minute period the weareis of the red and black proved their superiority by scoring 5 points to the Academy ' s 2. Captain Kap- lan starred for Bellefonte, and while every Mansfield player put up a fast game the work of Captain Withka and Stearns deserved special praise. Stearns clinched the center position in this game and for the remainder of the season the same five players started every game except one. Mansfield 23— Penn. State Freshmen 33 Next night after the Bellefonte game, playing at State College against the Freshmen team, the Normal team re- ceived the first defeat of the year. The game was fast and furious throughout and had Withka not experienced an off- night in foul shooting the Normal team undoubtedly would have won as the Freshmen were actually outplayed on their own floor. The guarding of Lip- pincott and Schools was so close that the Freshmen field goals were few and far between. During the second half the Freshman sacrificed team work in an ef- fort to smother Withka. Shaute played cne of his best games of th e year. The foul shooting of Marshall really decided the game in the Freshmen ' s favor. Manrfield 40 — Alfred University 22 February 12, the Alfred team came to Mansfield with a big reputation, and with Lippincott, the big guard, unable to play a close game was expected. 155 Starting with a rush and playing whirl- wind ball the Normal team surprised their opponents and at half-time the score was 24-1:2 In the last half Mans- field did not try to increase the lead but spent the latter part of the game pass- ing: the ball up and down the court. Schools was high scorer with five field goals and Stearns was second with four. Dempsey, substituting for Lippincott, played a fine game. Lobaugle starred for Alfred. Mansfield 41 — Maine burg A. C. 14 On February 14 Mainesburg A. C. came to Mansfield with a record of 14 successive victories, but they were no m? ch for the fast Noimal team. As usual Mansfield got an early lead and after the first few minu ' es the game was never in doubt. The visitors only scored two field goals. During the last half the Noimal team toyed with their large. ' opponents by passing the ball under the latter ' s baske . Stearns led in scoring field goals with 5. Withka, Shaute and Schools each had 4 field goals. Mansfield 26 — Hornell 27 February 27 the fine record of the Normal team was somewhat marred by a defeat at Hornell. The Normal team led all the way until the last five min- utes. During the first half the referee called two fouls on each team. Not a foul was called in the last half until within five minutes of the close of the game with Mansfield ahead the referee called ten fouls on them and changed Hornell ' s defeat into victory. Such games are pretty hard to lose, but not worth much to the team that wins. Withka was injured but remained in the game and scored 7 field goals. Mansfield 23 — Alfred University 16 In the return game at Alfred Mans- field was again the winner. The score was 23-10. At half-time Alfred led 12-9, but in the last half the terrific pace set by the Noimal team was too fast for Alfred. Withka duplicated his perform- ance agains ' Hornell by again scoring se en field goals. Two of these were made in rapid succession from beyond the middle of the floor. The close guard- ing of Schools and Lippincott held Al- fred to six field goals. Mansfield 39— Bellefonte 32 The game played on the gym floor March 6 against Bel ' .efonte will always be remembered as the best game of the year and one of the best games ever played in Mansfield. Bellefonte took the lead at the stait of the game and Mans- field was only ahead once during the first half, which ended with the score tied at 15 points each. Bellefonte again took the lead at the start of the second half, but Mansfield, now desperate, rose to the occasion and forged ahead. Once ahead. Ma isfield held their precious lead to I he end. Every player demonstrated his real calibre in this game. Withka, Schools, Lippincott and Stearns all caged sensational field goals and the lanky Shaute went on a scoring campaign with six baskets to his credit. The close guarding of Voighe, the floor work of Douglass and the foul shooting of King, coupled with fine team work, kept Belle- fonte in the lead for more than half the game. Mansfield 34— Westfield 19 The last game of the season was a de- cisive victory over the Westfield Gym team, played on the latter ' s court March 13. Although the Westfield team ranks among the best independent teams in the county, they were completely outplayed. Mansfield started the game with a rush and before the first half was over the game was virtually won. Captain With- ka played one of his best floor games of the year and Westfield became so fran- tic in trying to stop him that they for- got to watch Shaute who scored nine field goals. Lippincottt played a won- derful game at guard, while the all around good work of Schools and Stearns helped to make this closing game a fit- ting exhibition of one of the greatest basketball teams ever produced at Mans- field. 156 THE TEAM Captain John Withka, left forward. Witty was one of the best basket- ball players that ever wore a Mansfield jersey. At shooting goals he never met his equal during his two years on the Normal team. At dribbling and break- ing up plays he stood in a class by him- self. Small, but lightning fast and ex- tremely rugged, uncanny in judgment, and a good foul shooter, he was one of the best players in Piep. school ranks. We predict a brilliant career for him in college basketball. Joseph Shaute, right forward. Lefty Joe was the least experienced basketball player of any man on the team hut his willingness to work and his aptness to learn which had character- ized him on the gridiron, won for him a position on the basketball team. Al- though lanky he was muscular and pos- sessed the endurance to travel at top speed for the full 40 minutes. In the last two games of the season he caged 15 field goals. He was said to be a crack baseball player, a id for a junior to win three Varsity Ms was no mean ac- complishment. Harold Stearns, center. Babe had been tap-off man on last year ' s scrub team, and after the first two games this year he became the per- manent Varsity center. He generally controlled the tap-off, working signals to a nicety. As the season progressed he gained confidence and settled down moe into the team work. As a good floor man and an excellent long field goal shooter he was a valuable asset to the team. Francis Schools, left guard. Icky came to us from Bloomsbu ' g and knew basketball from start to finish. He played guard this year, but he can play any position on the floor with equal ability. Even now we can see him as he dashed up the floor on guard signals or as he leaped into the air and knocked down the ball that was traveling true toward our opponents ' basket. As we live those games again we can hear that shrill Ick from Witty and yes, yes from Ick , and we just chalk up two more points for Mansfield. Joreph Lippincott, right guard. Thoughts of Slippery Joe will live long in the memories of those who saw him play against the Alumni and West- field. Even though he weighed over 200 pounds, the way he slid around in front of passes surprised every one. His op- ponents always looked alike to him and to them he looked like an unpassable barrier that stood between them and their basket. It was also predicted that he would make the baseball team thus making him three letters. He and Shaute should form the nucleus for an- other championship team. James Dempsey, utility. Dewey was not a regular perform- er on the Varsity, but he was a hard worker and a genuine scrapper and played in enough games to win his letter. In the first game against Alfred he gave a splendid exhibition of guarding and also played consistent ball in other games in which he acted as relief man. Albert Galuardi, utility. Gal was another player who fought his way from last year ' s scrub team to this year ' s Varsity. Shifted from for- ward to guard, his playing greatly im- proved and had this change been made earlier in the year he undoubtedly would have worked in more games than he did. Never brilliant, but always steady, a good shot and a marvel at grabbing op- ponents ' passes, he was a player of the plugging type. 157 filKLS ' BASKEI [JALL TEAM Hack row — left to right: Misses Vail, coach ; Pedrick, Muir.

Juniors! Juniors! Under the inspiring direction of Miss Vail, the spirit of basketball has been unusually strong among the girls of the upper classes this year. Last year the girls were not permitted to play boys ' rules in basketball. As a result, the Senior girls (The Blacks) we ' e handicapped by having to choose practically all inexperienced players for this season, while the Juniors (Reds) came directly from high school teams. The series of contests began Wednes- day afternoon, December 10, at 4:30 p. m The contest was full of pep from beginning to end. The stellar playing of both teams brought continuous cheering and applause from the large crowd of spectators. Both Junior and Senior class- es were well represented, also the fac- ulty proved their interest. The same spirit prevailed throughout the series of three games, increasing in each game. Owing to the illness of the captain, the Senior team was crippled to a certain degree the last few weeks of the season. Points scored. Seniors. P. Silsby (3) M. Hurley (2) E. Powell (8) ' E.

It certainly was not any fault of our coach, Mr. Schott, that the Senior team did not show up better. He did wonder- ful work with the material he had and the brief time, in which he had to ac- complish anything. Emerson says, It is defeat that educates us. When the Senior team are ready to graduate, they have their education. At any rate, Juniors, we have enjoyed every game played against you. Our sincere wish is that of the best of luck to you and we hope you get your educa- tion next year so that you will be able to graduate, too. 159 PQ w 1= e s 3 M j: CO c § ■; _ a CI „ cr. c eg . rH - : - = -e v 1M B — ..

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 26th RELAY CARNIVAL For the second consecutive time Mansfield Normal one-mile relay team won their event at the annual relay carnival held at Philadelphia under the auspices of the Univrsity of Pennsylvania, April 30-May 1. Mansfield was classed with third class colleges. Unlike last year ' s race, Mansfield was pushed all the way and only won by a foot. Mansfield was fortunate in the drawing for positions, getting second place from the pole. At the start of the race Captain Richards took the pole but lost it to Cheyeny Teachers ' Training School (colored). Richards soon forged ahead only to be passed again by his dusky opponent. Boyle ran the second quarter and not only gained what ground Richards had lost, but led the field by 20 yards when he handed the baton to Strange. Strange ran a steady race in the third quarter and maintained the lead Boyle had won. Collier, Mansfield ' s anchor man, got away to a poor start and before he realized it the fast Cheyeney man was at his side. The two men, far in advance of the rest of the field, tore down the home stretch neck and neck. Near the finish Collier put on a new burst of speed and flashed over the tape a foot ahead of his colored rival. The time of the race was 3 minutes 45 4 5 seconds. The stop watch also showed that Richards, who ran his quarter in 52% seconds, made the fastest time for Mansfield. 161 MANSFIELD, HAIL! Written in J H7. Vigoroso.

Brings once more the scene of launching On life ' s unknown hazy way, While the thread — a silv ' ry brooklet Bore us on from day to day. Roses breathed from tangled thickets; Flowers peeped from ledges brown; And between the gathering shadows The sun god showered his blessings down. 171 Dear are those who mingled with us, 1 ney whose looks and voices made All our shaded legions cheerful, ' Till we loved it for their sake. On and on o ' er silvered waters. Reflecting back the verdant green, On and on we ' ve glided onward To a larger, greater stream. Lo! our narrow channel led us To a river ' s gurgling source, Waters from the fount of wisdom Broadened then our life ' s great course. One by one we missed the voices Which we loved so well to hear, One by one the kindly faces In the shadows disappeared. Yet upon the haze before us We fixed our eyes with keener view, Even though the storm clouds ga ' heied, Rosy morning shimmered through. Thus we ' re cast on life ' s deep ocean, Hear the whispering winds at play. How they ride the rolling billows! Scattering high their veil-like spray. Flashing forth the rainbow ' s colors I-ead : ng to our future lives, Urging on to great endeavor, Even though some storm clouds rise. And those friends who went before us Seeking where the whirlpools lie, Told us oft in song and story. The ebb and flow of life ' s great tide. Learning, they have taught their lessons, Beacons shedding forth their light, Biight ' ning up the course before us, The course that they have found is right — Dorothea Dills. 172 CLASS H1ST0R Y Here comes the Erie! All aboard! We ' re off for a memory trip to Mansfield, the home of our dear old Alma Mater. We choose the Erie for two reasons, namely: we must take a Limited, as our time is so short; and we do not want our peace of mind disturbed by soot and dust while on the trip. On we go past the days when we wildly searched for classrooms and (please don ' t tell anyone) for our own rooms. Past the days spent at the Fair, where we tried to look happy and interested. We all came to the conclusion that the man who said, Alone in a crowd, must have gone to a Fair his first year at school. It is needless to say that we had a far better time our Senior year. Was that a soldier we just passed? Oh, I see, it was a member of the S. A. T. C! How many visions that calls to our minds: the day the unit was sworn in; the mess tables, (a mess in more ways than one); Hairy Bergan in shoes designed for Roscoe Austin; the new cases, — there were not enough seats along the wall in Alumni Hall those days; the Military Ball, where big feet and late hours predominated. What a grand and glorious feeling the faculty had when they saw the unit depart. The mail boys, however, immediately started to groan. Look! There goes Dr. Flower Wheeler. Every time we see her, or hear her name, we think of the flu epidemic. We had no reason to complain, for, in spite of the fact that we had more than three hundred cases at the Noimal, not one life was lost. Whether this was due to Providence, or to the good care we received at the hands of the nurses and faculty, or to both, none can tell. Certain it is that our faculty worked to their utmost for our benefit. The epidemic had at least one good result — it broke the ice between the teacher and the students. How hard they worked to comfort and care for us. November 11. That day stands out in our memory more than any other. Mingled feelings of relief, joy and sorrow came to all of us. Mansfield was not slow when it came to celebrating. We did our share, and more, too. Parades, fireworks, bonfires, dances, bells, whistles, horns, flags everywhere. What a day it was! Do you remember the night Miss Doane called that mysterious meeting of all the girls in the Libraiy. The sighs of leLef when she announced why she had called us together were quite audible — for to tell the truth, we were always a bit frightened when such a meeting was called. It did not take us long to decide in favor of this new form of Gover nment. Oh! what fun we had doing the snake dance around the well, after the votes had been counted, a few days later. How proud the girls of the class of 1920 can be that we helped to organize Student Government in North Hall. It gave us more independence, developed our sense of honor, and our spirit cf co-operation. The Proctors, we know, are better disciplinarians, for their duties while serving on the Student Council. Great is our admiration for our worthy presidents. Miss Blanche Straughn, and Miss Ethel D. Jones. What ' s the matter with Mansfield? She ' s all right! Mansfield is on the map, indeed, when it comes to athletics. Champions in football, superior in basketball, 173 unexcelled in baseball and winner in track meets, were our boys. Many a proud and haughty foe has been forced to bow before us. Al Sayre, the all-around athlete, backe d by excellent men, brought many a vicory to Mansfield, and, incidentally, many a dance. Our joy knew no bounds the day we received the message that our boys had won in the inter-scholastic meet at Philadelphia. And when we won from Syracuse Freshmen, iron chains couldn ' t have restrained our spirits. Dance! A magic word. Mansfield without a dance would be like an ocean without a wave. The weekly Gym social afforded great pleasure to all, singles as well as couples. Can ' t you just. see Jimmy Toole jazzing away, and Eddie Schott racing from one end of the Gym to the other, as if he were paid for it? Those were the good old days! Never will we know any happier. The Erie is rapidly beating us to the end of our journey. Never again will we hear re-echoing thiough the corridors these well-remembered cries: Are gou going to get up for breakfast? ; Is the tiain in yet? ; How late is the Erie tonight? ; Has the mail been delivered? ; Any letters for me? ; What are you going to wear tonight? ; Oh! Let me wear your new sweater! ; Do you have a bid for the movies? ; Who swiped my powder puff? The boys of South Hall will no longer be disturbed by: Where is my red necktie? ; Who used my razor for a pencil sharpener? ; Bring back that soap! ; Wheie ' s the guy that swiped my last clean collar? Nearer and nearer still we come to the end of our journey. How hard it is to tear ourselves away. Oh, yes, before we leave! Do you remember the June morning break- fast on the campus, and the Japanese Bazaar given by the Y. W. C. A.? and some of the joys of the weekly meetings of the Literary Societies — joys when someone else did the entertaining. — And there was the Y. M. C. A. Minstrel, and the night that the first Y. M. C. A. House was opened to the curious inmates of North Hall. And those wonderful, stealthy, mysterious midnight spreads we used to have before Student Government went into effect. Surely you remember the time you were broke and expected an important letter, but the Erie forgot to come, until it was too late to go to Bill Love ' s or Vosburg ' s. Tennis! Popular as was the game, sometimes we thought Bench Tennis even more popular. Then there were the nights of Faculty Decision. How tense and fraught with suspense was the whole a mosphe: e. We almost went to bed without undressing, we were so afraid we would be called to the office. And State Board Exam was the one horrible nightmare of our two years at Mansfield. But, glory be, they are over now forever, and how proud are we for we have passed. What ' s that the conducto r said? Oh, yes, Commencement! All change for the Limited to the School of Life! We have reached the end of our journey. For once the Erie has traveled far too swiftly. We shall have to say Good-bye and leave with the sincere hope that our beloved Mansfield may say as did the little brook: Men may come, and men may go But I go on forever. —Edna Skinner— 1920. 174 CLASS PROPHECY Does this remind you of that June day fifteen years ago when we proudly grasped our diplomas and by Dr. Straughn were declared graduates of Mansfield Normal School ? The sad part of class reunions is that so few membeis can be present, but you few surely do look good to me , as Harold Stearns used to say when there was cake for supper. Mae Bryden, what is your waist measure? You look as though you had changed places with Edna Skinner we used to know. Edna is a shadow of her old self, but her good nature is the same as ever. By-the-way, did you know that she married one of the language professors at Cornell ? Let me see if I recognize the rest of you. Oh, Ethel Campbell, I am so sorry that you failed in your college work. Not every one can learn easily and you know that even real stupid persons have good influence. Marie Harkins, it seems good to see you — the last I knew your lecture schedule was so full that your secretary was making appointments two years in advance. Full beard is very becoming to you, Bayard. You do look the part of Prof. Hammond from Porto Rico. Is Charlotte Depew still teaching on the -.sland? Dr. Withka, I believe. Ah, John, you were early known as a Hart specialist. How-do-you-do, Manderville ? Are you and Mrs. Bartle living in Mansfield now? Olive Longstreet, bless your heart! Did Ruth Husted and Ivah Shepard finally establish their Academy for Young Ladies? Well, Genevieve Johnson — to think that you are lecturing on Men ' s Rights! You know Mildred Hurley is mayor of Chicago and they say that her husband is the meekest man. I ' ve heard that when Helen Hughes was elected to the Senate she simply gave her husband complete charge of the household and devoted herself to her public work. You have probably heard that Velma Rose parted from her second husband because he voted for Irene Snyder instead of Elizabeth Youmans for councilwoman. But women in politics are doing good work. It was Gertrude Brennan who stood up in the House of Representatives and argued for one hour against the bill providing that men should wear floweis in their hats and use crochetted or tatted edgings for their collars, but Esther Dobson was on the other side so our men are still arrayed as they should be. Esther stated that if the men of 1935 were given the privilege and rights of the men of 1920 they would be as dazed as Fred Hitchcock was when that girl refused to go to the Minstrels with him. Irene Strope ' s enrollment card could not have looked more familiar to Nathan Hall than Elmira looked to me when I reached there yesterday. Instead of taking the regular air route whose superintendent is Odell Chaffee, I came on the Erie for the sake 175 of Auld Lang Syne . But such an Eiie! Tho coaches are large and the seats are softly cushioned. Tho electric lights never go out — not even when students are returning to Mansfield!! Electric fans keep the air just right. There are special cars for crushes . Riding is as comfortable as it used to he for Bettie McKean in that particuliar car of His. The women of the train crew were so genial and kind. Helen Harkins looked neat a- wax in a white sailor suit. Celia Hughes, the conductor, sang out the stations in a clear, stentorian voice. Gussie Jupenlaz is station agent now She greeted me in her old time friendly way. Lucy Ely skillfully juggled suit cases and soon found mine. The Freshmen and Sophomores from the College are compelled to cany all baggage and if a person has a suitcase and a bag, he is taken to his destination in a really nice motor. Of course, many people piefer to hire hoi ses and carnages just for the novelty of the thing. The driver of the car yesterday was Joseph Wells. He reads classics while he drives and it is estimated that he has given the equivalent of a college course to eight thou- sand persons. Doubtlss you have noticed the illuminated bulletin on the front campus. It was designed by Iiene Walsh. The names as they shone through the gathering mists of the evening, weie like beckoning hands of welcome. John Lehman. Ph. D.; Florence Calhoun, Mus. Dr.; Annette Waters, Dean of Women; James Toole, Dean of Men; Iona Hunt, Sociology; Charles Shaver, Dr. of Sciences. After breakfast this morning — by the way, breakfast is served to Seniors and to guests in their rooms by the most efficient maids fiom the Junior class. The maid told me that it is one of the rules that not a single corn flake nor a solitary prune be allowed on the campus! As I was saying — after breakfast this morning, 1 saw Mrs. Lehman for a few moments. She is as pretty and sweet as ever and John Jr., is the exact counterpart of the Jack we used to know. Mae told me that Ann Hastings and Rebecca Miller are both in a sanitarium. They both served as proctors for two terms and it was too much. They nearly exhaust their guards by constantly shrieking, Lights cut at 10:20. You ' re roomed! Because of the event today, I have communicated with many former class-mates, so we have messages from several of them. At Cheat em, N ' ebra.-ka, Stilman Kendricks has established a communicating station with Mars. His entire equipment is placed in an office finished in Tyler marble. Stil- man and his partner, John Burns, are organizing an educational Troupe which is soon to be sent, to Mars for the purpose of introducing American culture. Some of those w : ho have already signed contracts are: Myrtle Crues, Music and Art; Louise Goodall, Psychology of Smiles; Gladys Cobb, Social Activities; Alice Vi Pond, Domestic Science; Laura Allardiee, Law and Order; Mary Muto, Aesthetic Dancing; Carolyn Nearing, Elocution. Cap Gillette is going because he can Seymour than the others can. Charles Ki-otzer i. going because of his broad experience in Throop life. The Third Floor Bunch are experimenting in Community life at Lafawhyle. Myra Jameson chose the location it is near a Forrest. The only dissensions thus far were when Alma Thomas and Lucille Davis asked for the same food portion per day as did Helen Thomas; and when Renie Lersch refused to allow Frances Silsby to attend 176 a party with Leo Lavin who lives in a neighboring village. Grace James is not with the others. She is happily mariied and is living at Austin. You remember the attempt to shoot the moon? Michael Senio has tried again but he met with Utter failure. Ethel Jones has a hospital in Colorado. Ethel ' s motto is Service . Some of the nurses of the institution are Janey Colwell, Ruth Heyd and Mildred Davis. Nellie Squires and her husband have been appearing under the stage name of Vernon Castle and wife. Eddie Schott has an airplane repair shop at Wilcox, Arizona. Leigh Learn is a Congregationalist minister and Roy Bixby is in the Roofing business near there. Jay Baldwin is Judge of the Supreme Court. Harold Brooks is a missionary in Africa. Several months ago, while traveling through the newly settled regions, he came across the Maiden ' s Retreat which the Fifth Floor Hospital girls maintain. Helen Tomlinson does the nature painting and is recognized as one of the leaders in her art. San Francisco has lured many from our number. Sophrona Rounds has undertaking parlors in the central part of the city. Margaret Stanton goes about shocking the populace, and her business pamter, Beatrice Smith, follows, selling shock-absorbers. Myra Tompkins makes rice pudding for the Japanese — Annabel West is in business with her. Galen Mclnroy is manager of one of the leading theaters. Associated with him are Sylvia Bisbee, Margery Aylesworth, Lillian Burgess and Bernice Ainey. Harold Johnson has played Romeo for several seasons and Peter Hubiak has starred as Tom Thumb. Grace Sterling lives near the coast. Her old fondness for Seaman led to her choice of a home. In May, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Corey began an air tour of the West. While drifting in the fleecy clouds, they encountered Mr. and Mrs. Leon Gilbert and Mr. and Mrs. Leo Pelton. Nellie Major Gilbert said: You know Leo. and Leon always had their heads in the clouds, so Bessie and I let them stay there most of the time. Mary Walsh has attained her highest ambition, which is six feet of manhood named Connors. Using her knowledge of Trigonometry, Agnes Allardice has devised a scheme whereby the Tioga river is made navigable. Katharine Leonard and Veronica Dwyer operate a submarine bus-line between Mansfield and Blossburg. Elizabeth Powell is divorced from her husband. He claimed that her ceaseless chatter drove him insane! We could talk forever, couldn ' t we? Dorothea Dills used to tell us that we would be sorry when our College days at Normal were over. We are sorry, but it does no good to mourn. If anyone would like to know about others of the Class of 1920, just call at the office. Irene Pedrick and Helen Jones are in charge of the Information Department and Helen, especially, does know a Lott about our classmates. — Marion Carolyn Taylor. 177 MA NTLE ORATION Teachers, Classmates, and Friends: Today as we come to the parting of the ways, the question uppermost in each of our minds is which way shall we go. Now that we have attained the coveted goal, we can, from our new position command an excellent view of our lives. Shall we be satisfied now to sink back into the obscurity from which we came, or shall we, looking far down the road of the years yet to come, fix our desires on the things in life really worth while? Never in the history of the world has the demand for trained men and women been as great as it is now. Since the close of the war the spirit of dissatisfaction and unrest have been prevalent everywhere. Still we have faith in humanity to believe that this is but the re-adjustment of nations and classes, and that out of this chaos and uncer- tainty will grow a new world as it were. Old things are passing away and as all things become new not only the demand, but the opportunity for the Master hand are in evidence. In this 20th century, all things are changing and moving at a pace much more rapid than ever before. In this day and age we cannot even stand still, and to go back- ward would mean utter failure both to ourselves and to our friends. There is but one thing for us to do. We cannot stop today, but rather start anew to push our way upward and outward and always forward; no matter what may be the cost. Who is there that dares to fail when the needs of humanity are greater than ever before and when opportunities are unnumbered and unlimited? All too soon, our M. S. N. S. days have come to a close in a fearful and wonderful time. And in a few hours we will be gone from these stately halls, most of us never to return again as students. When we are gone, I wonder if Mansfield will miss us as much as we will miss her? I fear not. Incoming students will take our places and we shall soon be forgotten, but we will never forget. Sweet memories of the days we spent at Mansfield will linger long in our lives to cheer and to comfort, and to urge us on to bigger, better deeds. Hereon one of the big stepping stones of our lives, we linger to perform our last duty. Juniors, on you we bestow a great honor. In giving you the token of Senior- hood, we remind you that you now become seniors of a school that is keeping apace with the times, in the re-adjusting of its curriculum. Class of 1921, we bestow upon you this mantle of Red and Black. Live for it while it is yours, and when the time comes for you to hand it to your successors, may you have learned what all its lessons meant. — Leigh M. Lott. 178 CLASS WILL You have been called together upon this sad and solemn occasion that you may hear read the last will and testament of the Class of 1920, of the Mansfield State Normal School, of the Borough of Mansfield, of the County of Tioga, of the State of Pennsylvania, U. S. A. In disposing of her virtues she has tried to be just, generous and impartial, and she hopes that all who receive these same will have the proper amount of respect for them, and hold them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. After much careful consideration she has definitely arrived at these decisions. Listen, then, while I read the document as duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the Class of 1920, being about to leave forever this life at Normal School, in full possession of a crammed mind, priceless dignity, and superior intellect, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all other wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made or carelessly spoken as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. And first, we do direct that these funeral services be conducted by those who have been our guide during these past two years, asking only that they be carried on as is due a class possessed of such talent, worth, and merit as we have attained. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong minds to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Item: We g-ive and bequeath to our beloved principal, Dr. Straughn, our love, our most sincere admiration, and our deepest gratitude for all that he has done for us. We give to him the pleasure of watching our progress in the School of Life and wish him to accept for himself the praise and honor merited by our successes, as payment for his thoughtful guidance. Item: We give and bequeath to our dear faculty a vacation earned by many hours of worry. May they forgive and forget all the trouble we have caused them and remember us only at our best. Item: We give and bequeath to our dear old Alma Mater our undying love and our many happy memories of the days spent under the shadow of her walls. Item: We give and bequeath to our Model School Supervisors all new methods in teaching which have been originated by the resourceful members of our class. May they find them of great value in disciplining Sixth B. Item: Again, we give and bequeath to the faculty laughable memories of the many times when they have kept grave faces while we have given them many astounding- bits of knowledge gleaned through our own unquestionable (?) interpretations of our lessons. We sinceiely hope that these may prove of some use to them, if only to cause a smile. We will gladly sacrifice our dignity for their amusement. Item: We give and bequea ' h to the Junior Class as our successors, our duties to live up to the standards and traditions of Mansfield, hoping that they will fight for all that is right and best for our school. Item: We give and bequeath to the Junior Class, as a student body, Donald McAndrew ' s vast store of knowledge gained by long hours of hard study. We hope this will see them through all examinations. Item: We give and bequeath to all future History of Education classes our own modern spelling system. It is our wish that gieat care be exercised in the use of this so that the names of great educators will at least be recognizeable. Item. May the following seem not trifling bequests, but be regarded as priceless gifts: 1st. All crushes in the class of 1920 give to those in the classes following their undisputed right to the wall seats at movies. 179 2nd. To Daisy Hughes we bequeath a copy of the most popular song-: Oh, What a Gal Was (Slhe. 3rd. To anyone who desires it we give Ross Moshier ' s ability to gain favor in the eyes of the Powers- That-Be. 4th. To all hungry students we give the many dainty dishes made by Myra Tompkins. 5th. To the members of next year ' s Commercial Cou: se, Elizabeth Kane ' s ability to work while otheis play. Success will then be theirs. tit Vi. To visitors at an evening ' s entertainment held in Alumni Hall, we give the overshoes which have been serviceable to us on slushy nights. 7th. To any who find it hard to lie quiet during study hour we bequeath our own inimitable method of self-discipline. Sth. To the girls who will be sorely tried by Senior problems next year we give Alice Pennay ' s cheerful patience. 9th. To all Junior boys we give Joseph Kernan ' s winning ways with the girls. 10th. To any promising star of the Junior Class, we give Thelma Lute ' s dramatic ability. May the same success which has always been Thelma ' s be theirs also. 11th. To all those who enjoy tennis ( ?) Cora Genung and George Turock bequeath the good old tennis benches. 12th. To all girls who may be homesick in September, 1921, Marion Taylor leaves this thought with which she has cheered so many of us: Oh, cats! What ' s the use? They say very few peop ' .e ever get out of this world alive! 18th. To Georgiana Ferguson, Janice Clark gives her ability at the pipe organ. 14th. To the casts of next year ' s plays, Regina Flanagan gives the time back of the scenes to all who will profit by it in forming friendships. 15th. To all who have not yet experienced it, we give the doubts and hopes, the prayers and tears and agonies of suspense felt on the evening of faculty decision. 16th. To all new students at Mansfield we give our knowledge gained through many heart-breaking experiences while we weie yet green. Item: The following list will lie recognized as entailed estates to which we do declare the Class of 1921 our real and rightful successors: 1st. Our places in the halls and classrooms. Oh! guard them well, Class of ' 21. 2nd. Our poise so painstakingly developed in Public Speaking Classes. May they find this of great value when they come before their first Model School grade. 3rd. Our imagination so quickly developed by State Board. May it serve them as faithfully as it has reived us. (We never lealized just how far imagination would carry us until it took us past S ate Board.) 4th. Our footsteps in the sands of time in which we hope they will follow carefully. In doing this, may they feel deeply the responsibility thus placed on their shoulders. Lastly, we give and bequeath those things which it is so hard for us to part with: our joy in having a part in the hearts and interest of our principal and faculty. May the Class of 1921 fully appreciate these and cherish them deeply. We gladly give our thanks for friendships formed and a pledge of loyalty to Mansfield forever. All the rest and residue of our property, of whatever kind or quality it may be, not herein disposed of (after paying our debts and funeral expenses), we give and bequeath to our beloved principal for his use and benefit alone, and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as he may see fit. And we do hereby constitute and appoint Prof. Myron E. Webster sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1920, the testators have to this our will, set our hands and seal, this - - day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twenty. — Carolyn Nearing. 180 OUR DAYS A day is a fair white page That we write upon — Beautiful, clean, God-given At each new dawn.

Just as we have made the Carontawan above the average for a school the size of Mansfield, Just as we make such small jobs as name cards as near like the expensive engraved cards as possible. Just as we have made the Y and other stationery just a little better than was necessary for the price. Just as we have made your programs a little more attractive, more professional, Just as we have made your small handbills and window cards to attract more attention than the average. So are we ready to serve all customers with a little better printing than the average, and we are able to do this at a more economical price, too. The reason lies in our putting in a little more time on the job, having a little better equipment, buying the best stock possible, using the special ink that the job requires, and using the ' know-how thai is backed by a desire to make Mansfield Adver- tiser printing better. If in the future you wish some letterheads and envelopes with your name and address printed thereon, remember that the Mansfield Advertiser specializes in these. To the young ladies we would say that we would be pleased to furnish your wedding invitations and announcements, engraved or printed. To the young men we urge that if your intended does not know the quality of Mansfield Advertiser printing and our service with engraved orders, that you remind her of this shop back in the hills of Pennsylvania that enjoys looking after these wants. Should you at any time wish any booklets, such as high school announcements, please remember that we can be of service to you not only in printing these booklets, but in arranging them and writing them if necessary. With best wishes for your future success and happiness, believe us most sincerely, Mansfield Advertiser, Mansfield, Pennsylvania.
