You came here, lived, learned, loved, sang, wept, and now without apol- ogy, but perhaps with sorrow, you leave. So 1, your Carontawan, offer myself, without apology, to you. May I serve in always keeping you re- minded of Mansfield State. Remember, I am you, I am the Little Town on the Hill, the Carontawan.

ANSFIELD STATE NORMAL students have elected to become a part of what is perhaps the greatest profession in the Viforld. We have elected to aid in giving a proper start to the children of today — the men and women of tomorrow. In so choosing this profession we have assumed a responsibility. We have a debt to pay. Our entrance to this profession requires a certain amount of preparation. Our privilege to obtain this preparation is not a thing that just happened; is is the result of centuries of building-up processes — of many lives spent in bettering conditions that we might enter life in a better environment. We are indebted, then, to former educators for their lives, intelligence and developments. They have so spent their lives that the mighty profession of education could be enhanced, and thus we find that we owe our personality, our integrity, and the best in our lives to the profession we have entered. Then, too, there is another element which must be considered. The higher our intelligence, the more time and energy we should spend in preparing ourselves for our life ' s work, and the greater our attainment the more we owe the world. In other words we are bound by that great unwritten law of the universe to pay a debt to posterity and the greater we have been served the greater is our debt. We are privileged to pay a large part of it through our profession and the remainder through our contribution to societv and oui- service to our fellow-men. vc; iiiiiiiiiiii i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniHii :iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiii!i v: iFarultg lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllNlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllI IRVING T.

Pti e Twenty Mansfield Becofnes Teachers ' College rUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, was a memorable date in Vr.e history of Mansfield State Normal School. At 11 o ' clock on that day Mr. Henry Klonower, representing the State Department of Public Instruction, presented to the school through Dr. William R. Straug-hn, a decree which gave the school full power to give four year courses. With this came the power to grant the Bachelor of Science degree. In speaking of the event Mr. Klonower said that two great events had happened in the history of Mansfield State Normal. The first was the coming of Dr. Straughn to the school as principal, and the second was this occasion when the school was off ' icially changed into a state teachers ' college. In order to attain this recognition the faculty of the school had to measure up to the standards of college and university faculties. The student body had to be a high type of high school graduates, sincelery interested in the teaching profession. A sub-committee composed of Dr. Parkes, Dr. Dickey, Mr. Cope, Dr. Koch and Mr. Klonower examined every phase of the schools applying for permission to become state teacher colleges. Page Tweiitylwu LOUISE ARTLEY Weesie Muncy, Pa. Art Club; Y. W. C. A. Louise is one of our very interesting third-floor blonds. She is always buried in a book, as a visit to her room shows. Nevertheless, she is always ready for some fun. The kiddies all like her and we know she will be very successful — if she chooses to follow the teaching profession. Louise has very decided likes. One is pickles. She is also deeply interested in a Hill of Muncy. Be it understood, this doesn ' t mean the Muncy Hills. MARGARET BALLOG Throop, Pa. Peg Y. W. C. A.; Art Club; Hiking Club. Peggy with her straight black bobbed hair, snappy eyes and loving disposition is one of the girls who be- longs to that famous Throop Corporation. She is a jolly good sport, always ready for a spread or any other good time. But that is not the only place where she shines. Studious? — well I guess, yes. In fact she is a good student in everything, especially primaiy work, and we predict that the road to success lies straight ahead of her. East Smithfield Lifty Lifty is a happy-go-lucky girl, who is loved by all of us, has a smile for everyone she meets, is always out for a good time, and to make a long story short — is a wonderful all-around sport. You are sure to find her on the tennis courts in good weather. She is al- ways singing and making others happy. We wish you the best of success in your teaching, Lifty. Twcniy-joii LORENA BROWN Ulster, Pa. Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club; Emersonian Literary Society. If you know Lorena, you have one of the best pals at Mansfield State Normal School. When she has her work finished, she ' s game for any fun, hike, dance, swim, or occasionally a spread. Previously she has taught, so with her experience and training, her friends expect her to make an extremely successful primary teacher. Some day we shall all be proud that we knew Rena. MARY BURNS Mary Scranton, Pa. Art Club; Athletic Club; Hiking Club; Outdoor Club. While men have eyes, or ears, or taste, She ' ll always find a lover. Pretty brown hair, true blue eyes, fair face, pearly white teeth, a happy smile, a warm heart and a gen- erous nature fittingly describes Mary. There are many nice things that can be said about Mary. She is one of those fortunate persons whom everyone just naturally likes without knowing why. There is one thing of which we are positive and that is — Mary is just the kind of a girl that men don ' t forget. LILLIAN LEONE CASS Rummerfield, Pa. Rurban Club. Lilly, our experienced teacher and classmate, has been with us only one whole year. In spite of this fact we are sure to miss her pleasant smile and winning ways. We have tried to entertain Lillian in such a manner during this short period that she may profit by our mistakes. Even though Lillian ' s love does not stand out in her eyes like that of many others of the feminine sex, we rest almost assured that some fair com- plexioned creature of the opposite sex will stop to help her over the stony path of life. Page Tivenly-five BEATRICE CURTIS Wayniart, Pa. Bea Belie Y. W. C. A. If you want to know a jolly, fun-loving and true friend, just call at 340 and ask for Bea. She may look serious, but just come to some of the parties there and if you ' re a little blue when you come — you won ' t be when you go — for Bea ' s hearty laugh is quite contagious. As for eating ice cream — she wins!!! Good luck and success to you, Bea. GRETCHEN DECKER Waverly, Pa. Rurban Club; Y. W. C. A.; Emersonian Literary Society. Gretchen Decker is one of our Waverly girls who never fails to greet you with a cheery smile, which has won her many friends. Clever in her classes, conscientious about her work, quite capable of enjoying a good time, but she can also be a dignified school teacher. A more true friend or more loyal companion than Gretchen would be hard to find. IRENE DITCHBURN Arnot, Pa. Irene Athletic Club; Y. W. C. A. Irene is a happy-go-lucky girl, tall and thin, jolly and full of fun. All week she leaves her work undone with her by- word I ' m staying this week-end. But when Friday comes she can ' t resist, so runs off to catch the train. We don ' t blame her for that, do you ? i IMARY GRACE DOYLE Pittston, Pa. Secretary, Art Club; Emersonian Literary Society; Treasurer, Athletic Club; Hiking Cluh; Y. W. C. A. To know Grace is a liberal education. There is just one word describes her and that is charm. iHer dig- nity has won for her many friends, and everyone at Mansfield State will miss her when she graduates. Grace can always be depended upon, she is loyal in every sense of the word. It is hard t j keep track ' of all Grace ' s cases, but at present she is interested in — ' nuff aid! Grace ' s motto is, We lose vigor through think- ' ing continually of the same people. New people are n( life. Well, variety is the spice of life. L Page Twenly-six VELMA EDMINSTER Painted Post, N. Y. Val Treasurer, Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. Val always wears a happy -smile even if she does wear a diamond. Two of Velma ' s best pals in school are Art and Gym. While at school she spends her time with these two, but over the week-ends that she spends at home a third party enters in, who, to our knowledge, is Chet. RUTH EDWARDS Rufu? ' ' Wyoming, Pa. Outdoor Club; Secretary, Y. W. C. A.; Glee Club. Ruth is one of the bashful girls, With dark brown eyes and hair that curls; She takes life easy, in her own sweet way. But is always happy at the close of day. Her duties, they ' re both large and small. But fun ' s mixed in with one and all. We all love Ruthie deep down in our heart, So with this ending we ' ll depart. ELEANORA FISHER Williamsport, Pa. Vice-President, Masquers ' 25- ' 26. A regular girl, and the best of pals, All who know Fisher love her, for she is ever and always ready to partake of any activity. One of the most pleasing personalities of any in the school is that belonging to our own Fisher. Her pet hobby is to climb moun- tains and roam the woods — alone? Oh, no! May you have your heart ' s desire, Fisher. 11 M4RGARET FULLER - . iM, Shinglehouse, Pa. ? ' . Tftis little lass came to us frbm Shinglehouse. She but she ' s very large at , isn ' t very large in stature, ' heart. She spends a good part of her time traveling. We wish you the best of success in your chosen work of life, Marg-aret, whether it be teaching school or keeping- house. tA ii.i ,i£, Pnf. vcn ' v-aeven MYRTLE FAHS Clark ' s Summit, Pa. Myrt Athletic Club. Here ' s our brown-eyed Myrtle. A prirl who is rec- ognized by her ever-pleasing smile. She always looks for the bright side of life and usually succeeds in find- ing it. Her smile is very contagious and is the kind that wins her friends wherever she goes, and, having won them, keeps them. Her pretty eyes and winning ways Are qualities which her friends can praise. SARAH GRIFFITHS Y. W. C. A. Taylor, Pa. ' Griff RUTH HANEY Seemingly, Ruth would be called a very serious person. Truly enough, she is quite studious, but un- der all of this seriousness she is full of fun. Taking these two qualities together — who would miss having her as a friend ? Not I, say several who know her. We are sure Ruth will make a fine teacher and we wish her a lot of luck. THELMA HORNBECK A great big smile, laughing eyes, and a clever joke, that ' s Griff. Whenever you are feeling blue just go to room 551 and we guarantee a more pleasant state of mind after your visit. It is not necessary to tell her host of friends that she is the life of any crowd for they know it only too well. Good times are incomplete without Griff. Her specialties are feeds, dancing, and basketball. A good sport always, nothing too hard for her to undertake — which makes her one we like to have around. Lawton, Pa, Forest City, Pa. Thelma is a pleasure-seeking lass, and finds a part of her pay in Educational Sociology class. We wonder why? When she is not in Sociology class she finds her joy and comfort in the radiator in S. H. and Doc. She is interested in dancing and athletics, and does her part in helping to support all school functions. Thelma also has her good qualities for she is overwhelmed at the thought of teaching those dear little children in, the primary grades. Page Tuenty-eight Seldom can ' t, Seldom don ' t. Never ' ' shan ' t. Never won ' t. That ' s our Angeline, all right. She is an optimistic individual who is always ready and willing to boost her school and town. Angeline attended two summer ses- sions and the year of ' 2.5- ' 26 coming last January to graduate with the class of ' 27. She has proved to be an excellent teacher and further success is the sincere wish of all her friends. HELEN HOWER •Inky Scranton, Pa. Y. W. C. A.; Art Club; Hiking Club. Let us introduce you to Helen, a jolly little girl with brown hair and eyes. She has her likes and dislikes and is not afraid to express them. Patient, loving, kind and true. Willing whatever you want her to do; Good sport, good scholar, good friend, too. We all love her, and no doubt you do, too. NINA HUDSON Art Club; Glee Club; Social Department; Dramatic Club; Hockey Team; Scrap Book Club; Secretary •Junior Class. Come, ancient bards, and sing of her — Who is loving and gentle and kind, You can wander from village to village But one like her you will never find. For she ' s sweeter by far, so all her friends say, Than the roses in June, than the sunshine in May. In Art and Music she doth excell. Has an interest in flower — ' Sweet Williams — Well! DOROTHY HUGHES Y. W. C. A. False friends are like autumn leaves, found every- where. True friends are like diamonds, very rare. This is our Dot, a true pal to all. Dot, we wish you much success in all your undertakings, iiati onl „«iB teaching but . ' ' 4 i Best of luck to you! — TERESA FLORELA HURLBUTT Tiog ' a, Pa. She ' s just another senior girl, but she Iceeps things moving. When we are all tangled she unties the knots, and !o! we are straight again. She is small and hlond, with wise blue eyes. And many friends, ' tis true, Who wish her just a great success Through all her long life, too. I H HELEN INGHAM Clark ' s Summit, Pa. Outdoor Club; Y. W. C. A. Helen is one of our happy gang in Group I. She is a very delightful person. All who know her well can consider themselves lucky for she is an all-around good sport, a good student, and a better friend. Helen ' s re- served manner adds greatly to her success as a teacher. She is well liked by all of the youngsters as you could readily see from observing her. We hope that the teaching profession my claim her for some time. ETHEL JOHNSON Bobby Dalton, Pa. -A thletic Club; Sport Leader; Hiking Club; Outdoor Club; Glee Club. Ethel is a jolly, fun-loving, good-natured Normalite. She loves to sing popular jazz and always knows the latest in music. Ethel has the art of making and keep- ing friends. Once a friend, always a friend, is her only peculiarity. All who have known her believe that good things come in little packages. Favorite expression — Oh, Goodie! Favorite pastime — Singing. MARTHA KOONS Muncy, Pa. Y. W. C. A. Quiet, even-tempered, good natured, jolly and re- served, with sparkling eyes and a cheerful smi|e, that ' s Martha. Martha is a good scholar with man talents, some concealed; for instance, her ability to play a ' Cello. Martha is a sure cure for the blues. She appreciates a joke and teasing might well be termed her hobby. A1-, though she may be a Koon, she ' s a dear. A good paid with a host of friends is Martha. -]| C 8 US Puf-e Thirty HELEN LEGENZA Throop, Pa. Shortie Emersonian Literary Society; Athletic Club; Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. Helen is one of the famous Throop Gang. Shortie was the name given to her. We cannot say why this name was chosen, because as far as we know, she is not short in height, short in fun, short in songs, short in talking, and certainly not shoit in appetite. Never- thelcBs, we want to say that we can never forget her as one of the best sports we knew at Normal. HELEN LENCZESKY Throop, Pa. Skinny Emersonian; Hiking Club; Athletic Club; Y. W. C. A. To list all of our Helen ' s good qualities would take too much time and space. To a stranger Hslen appears as a tall, quiet, dignified, studious Normalite. But her sc.:col chums know her as one of the jolliest, fun-loving girls than can be found in Normal, Whenever there is any mischief or a joke to be played, Helen is sure to shine. She also is very fond of boxes marked Eats. EDITH B. LINDBERG Painted Post, N. Y. Bobby Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club. Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. This is Bobby all over. Speaking of eats and good times, you ' ll find Bobby doing her share to keep the bunch awake. Yet she is a conscientious worker. The Training School is her pet by-word. Best wishes to you and may you always be as happy as you were at Mansfield State. Susquehanna, Pa. GERTRUDE MARY iMURPHY Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. jkOne thing- we regret in our school life is that we are not better acquainted with the people who live down town Gertrude is one of this group, and her snappy eyes and friendly smile tell us that we would like to know her better than we do. She takes a great interest in pi imary work. We surely wish her good luck in her future life. ,1 33. ll Page Thirty-one MADELINE MURRAY Hop Bottom, Pa. Madge Here is another one of those down-town girls. If you want to l now someone with a charming- disposition and a happy smile, make her your friend. She is a good sport in every sense of the word. Madge should succeed in her chosen profession, because she has had much practice in disciplining. Ask the Beach Gang! ELIZABETH MUTO Betty Throop, Pa. Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. Picture a short girl with dark hair — a fair complexion and pleasing personality. She ' s another membe r of the Throop Gang, and like the rest of them knows her les- sons each day. Betty excells in two things: singing some sweet melodies, and playing basketball. All Betty ' s qualities cannot be listed. She is a friend whom one can tiust and rely upon. We predict a great future for her — n ' everything. FREDERICKA MARIE NEWELL Leolyn, Pa. Fredericka is a dignified maid who keeps her own counsel. She doesn ' t indulge in argument as her fel- low students do. She just sits and like the wise old owl, sees and hears all, but takes no side. We all know Still waters run deep, and this girl proves it. Here ' s luck to you Fredericka. ANGELA O ' DONNELL Scranton, Pa. Ang Art Club; Athletic Cluh; Hiking Club; Hockey Team. A ru.sh up the stairs, a violent opening of the door, a slamming of books — and we have Ang. She is al- ways full of pep and fun, and has plenty of the so- called Irish wit. You can always call upon her when enthusiasm is needed or when spirits are lagging. Ang is school spirit itself. What would we do with- out her? Please tell me that! Do you want someone to chase the blues away? Is the hockey team looking for a center-forward? Does the school need a cheer- leader? Just call in Ang, she ' ll fill the bill. VERONICA O ' DONNELL Nanticoke, Pa. Ronnie Emersonian Literary Society; Athletic Club; Presi- dent, Junior Hiking Club; Senior Hiking Club; Basket- ball; Manager Basketball, ' 26- ' 27; Hockey; Dramatic Club; Outdoor Club; Y. W. C. A.; Carontawan Board. ' 27; Flashlight Staff, ' 27. For two years a spritely and delightful person has been seen around Normal. And to think what those years would have been without her — well, even sug- gesting: such a thought leaves an empty space. Thanks to Dame Fortune for Ronnie. EVALYN M. OGDEN Herrick Center, Pa. In the class room as a student; before the class as a teacher; and among her classmates as a friend; one word describes Evalyn — poise. We admire it, and we have often wondered if it doesn ' t come from an in- ward joy of living and satisfaction gained from good literature, music, and art, which she sometimes enjoys. Your aims are high Evalyn, and if sometimes your head is in the clouds, we know it all goes toward your desire to reach up, to lift up, and to live up to the best that ' s in you. LILLIAN W. OLOFSON Westfield, Pa. Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club. Sunny good nature combined with a love for her work is a good recommendation for a teacher, so we are sure of Lillian ' s success. Where there are eats, there also is Lillian. No party is quite complete without her, and her room is always ringing with laughter. No gloom with Lil around. Birchardville, Pa. C , Hiking Club; Rurban Club. - : % A bit of the sunshine, a bit of the whirlwind, a bit ' of the stoim — that ' s Vi to those who know her best. A real companion. She ' s bhoi-t and jolly, and very swe : She smiles at each and all she meets. ..„,_ .._.,„_ We know she ' ll have the best of luck, ■■ — Because of her supply of pluck. We hope she ' ll think of Mansfield State, .4nd to us all her success relate. ; li ' iiii Page Thirtv-three PAULINE PENNAY Emersonian Literary Society. Kingsley, Pa. Pauline Pennay, so they say, Studies hard all night and day. Always cheerful, never blue, Kind and loyal — through and through. Success will surely be her aim If she remains as now, the same Studious girl we ' ve known at school, She never disobeyed a rule. And when at last success is had. She ' ll up and marry some nice lad. HELEN A. PROOF Sayre, Pa. Art Club; Y. W. C. A. A willing heart and a helping hand; always ready on demand, that ' s Helen, every time! She is a conscien- tious student, and has shown her ability by her success as a teacher in the Training School. Helen is always ready to have a good time and plenty of fun. We feel there is a bright future ahead of her. Dickson City, Pa. LILLIAN P. RICHARDSON Outdoor Club; Y. W. C. A. Novel, as she is called by her friends, has this motto: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you die . ' She cheerfully lives up to this by her famous imitations and wise saying-s, keeping her friends in a light-hearted frame of mind. Lillian has made many friends at Mansfield State, and more than one will miss her when school o])ens next fall. CATHERINE PHILLIPS Wanamie, Pa. Outdoor Club; Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club. A smile wreathed in dimples; your heart is readily j! won. That describes Kate in real life. Then too she is a real student, always accomplishing the task set before her. Looking toward the future we find its streets paved with success and happiness. In leisure moments, we see Kate swaying to the rythm of Irving Berlin ' s latest. She is just the sort of a girl we want for a friend and companion. Jii i.33.1|.32 If Page Thirly-juitr Page Thirty-five MARJORIE CARRIE SPENCER Nicholson, Pa. Marge Y. W. C. A. Marge is one of those seemingly quiet girls w ' .to room on fourth floor. Dignified and reserved at times, but always ready for fun when the onpoitunity presents itself. Recently Marge has acquired a sporty Ford roadster. We wonder why! It certainly shortens the time required to go to Ithaca, doesn ' t it? Aside fiom motoring Marge ' s chief delights are found in pretty clothes and dancing. Marge has selected the kinder- garten as her special field of work, and we are sure she will be successful in it. HELEN GWENDOLYN STANLICK S?ranton, Pa. Gwen Art Club; Y. W. C. A.; Student Council. Helen — No, she ' s not from Troy; She ' s from Scranton; don ' t you know? Some call her one of the bashful girls. But she has as many friends as curls. We all love her when she smiles, And when she frowns we run m ' les. Her favorite ciy is like every girl ' s: Where ' s my mail? And off she whirls. DOROTHY STEVENS Steve Athens, Pa. ' Dottle Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club; Emersonian Literary Society. SIhe ' s petite, neat, and always sweet, and a darned good friend in the bargain. Maybe the fourth hospital gang doesn ' t realize that! She wins many friends wherever she goes. She ' s a girl worth knowing. A word to the wise is sufficient. RUBY STONE Thompson, Pa. Quite as sparkling and beautiful as her name signi- fies. She loves to dance; she loves to sing, jt And fool around, ' n everything:. - Does she like her school Well, I guess.  ? She ' s a loyal supporter of S. N. S. She especially loves to run around with our gang. Well, we admit they do have good times in her gang. Of her ability as a teacher there is no doubt, for most of her time was spent in Model School while she was teaching. Heie ' s to our Ruly Stone; may she get as much joy out of life as she has at Mansfield. Pane Thirly- ' iix ELIZABETH SWAN ' Lib Athletic Club; Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. Yes, Lawi-enceville sent us this sweet lassie and we are proud to call her Our Lib, for she has won the hearts of scores of friends during the two years she has bee ' i w ' th us. She has numerous qualities which we can praise, but since space is limited, we ' ll mention only a few. Her charm is a magnet which attracts ad- mire s innumerable. Her personality and disposition are fnviable traits, for the likes of them are rare and precious. She is stately, sedate, serene and modest; but when it comes to good sportsmanship, she possesses a gre?it degree of it S ' he ' s all that fancy painted her; she ' s lovely, she ' s divine. FRANCES THOMAS Tommy Pleasantvi!le, N. J. Y. W. C. A. Meet another of the Four Horsemen; jolly, goad natured and happy. The possessor of beautiful curly auburn hair, and a contagious laugh. Tommy has many friends here who wish her the best that life has to give. Wyoming, Pa. HANNAH THOMAS Han Y. W. C. A.; Alt Club; Glee Club. Hannah, who is so sweet and petite, Has a smile for everyone she meets. Altho ' she has such a shy, sweet way. One never can tell what she might sayl She is chucked full of fun, But it seems everyone — Knows Han in a different way. She has a little saying all her own, It does not rhyme, we know; But the word, Pretzel, makes things go RUTH ANNA THOMAS Moosic, Pa. Tommy Treasurer, Y. W. C. A.; Emersonian Literary Society. Ruth is another of the girls from Moosic. She ' s jolly at all tim es, and is always in for the fun. She is especially fond of sports and shines on the 10 o ' clock basketball team. The eats and geieral atmosphere here at Normal have been responsible for her increase in weight. We know she will be a successful teacher, be- cause of her motherly habits, especially in giving com- mands. Page Thirty-seven Coudcrsport, Pa. A studious, quiet maid is she, A shy, demure little lass; We know by the way she does her tasks That she a success will be. Tall and stately — with dark hair, Her expression clear and complexion fair; Her sweet and tiny little voice When heard in music Makes the class rejoice. PHYLLIS UNGARD Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club She studies some, she studies none, She always has her lesson; But how she gets those lovely marks, Just keeps us all a-guessing. Don ' t let this led-haired, brown-eyed girl fool you, for though her eyes are innocent and guileless, behind them lurks aboundina: mischief. She is not so fond of Agriculture, but Phyl likes Buds. You could not find a more loyal friend than Phyl in North Hall. FLORENCE UTTER Starrucca, Pa. Flip Jiggs Y. W. C. A. With all Flip ' s fun she is also studious. If you want to make sure of it just go to 323 some night when she has lesson plans to wi ' ite and t ' y to get in. S ' he has been very efficient and successful in her teaching; and we are sure she will show her ability still more in the future. MARTHA WEIR Moodc, Pa. Squirrel Athletic Club; Hking Club.

' Pai e Thirty-cifsht Page Thirty-nine MARGUERITE BOSSERT Boss Athletic Club; Art Club; Rurban Club; Glee Club. Boss, quiet and unassuming, taking everything for granted and as carefree as the day is long. She has been known to study, but she never allows her school work to interfere with her engagements. Boss is con- tent if she can attend classes, but believes in the say- ing never do today what you can put off ' till today a week , but she always manages to get by. We do not know what Boss will do, but we believe that she will make an excellent instructor in any of the elementary grrades. MRS. FLORENCE MUDGE Y. W. C. A. The world ' s no better if we worry. Life ' s no longer if we hurry. A down-town student who has impressed us with her hard work and ambition. We believe she will make a success as a teacher, if persistency and detei-mination are conducive to the solution of the problem of good teaching. We are sure that her quiet nature will find its niche in the world. May success be yours, classmate! 2 A Page Forly MARION ACE Tunkhannock, Pa. Outdoor Club; Athletic Club. •Sugar and ispice and everything nice. ' That is is what you think when you see Marion. With laughing eyes and a gay smile, she is surely well armed for any profession. But, luckily for lis, she chose teaching and this was not because of the salary, but it was for the love of the work. That is why she was so successful in her work at Wellsboro. RUTH ALLEN Punxsutawney, Pa. Hiking Club; Dramatic Club; Athletic Club; Emer- sonian Literary Society; Glee Club. Pretty, popular, peppy and proper! Don ' t you think that fits Pat? Tact, that ' s her middle name. Pat, where did you learn to use your eyes so effectively? Many have fallen from the shafts of their light. Pat hails from Punxsutawney — ! ! Oh, my! what a name, but then, she says it ' s a lovely place, so — well, maybe it is, we don ' t know. She is a born homemaker, and we all hope she chooses the right one. Thompson, Pa. GEORGIA ARTHUR Who is a true friend ? A true friend is a person upon whom one can always depend; she is lovable and trust- worthy. Such a friend is Georgia. But these are not all of her g-ood qualities. She is sincere when the need arises, but not to the extent that she sacrifices innocent fun and good times. Willing she is and eager to please. What other virtues are better than these. BERNICE BADMONE Middlebury Center, Pa. Glee Club; Rurban Club; Athenaean Literary Society. A down-town girl, but everyone knows her. She is very studious and ambitious, believing in work first and play aftei-wards. Bernice just loves to play hockev If you don ' t liclieve it, just ask Miss King olf any of the girls on the team. She always has a fKjod .time wherever she goes, and welcomes everyoni with a Ifeppy smile. We think her sense of humor will makt hir a i successful teacher. | 2 3V33 pp| Page Forly-tiio AIARY BAILEY Willianisport, Pa. A dark-haired, brown-eyed lassie, who is always ready for some fun. She woiks occasionally, but would rather wi-ite letters or do fancy work. There seems to be a great attraction down towards Williamsport for her. I wonder what it can be ? Here ' s success and happiness to Mary in whatever profession she may take up. EMILY BASSETT Ulysses, Pa. Art Club; Y. W. C. A. Emily is one of our down-town students. She always greets you with a happy smile, and it has won her many friends. Her pleasant manner makes her an agreeable companion. She is a very conocientious and faithful student. Judg-ing- from her efficiency as a teacher in the Training School, she is certain to meet success in her chosen profession. JANET BECKER Alba, Pa. Art Club; Y. W. C. A. When you ' re tired of life and need cheering, visit rcom 208, for Janet is su:e to help you. Her care-free, jovial spirit is sure to prove catching, and. before you know it, you ' re feeling fine once more. She is noted for the boxes of eats she gets and shares. GLE.NN F. BENNETT Laceyvire, Pa. ■ Here ' s to our seiious, practical Glenn! Serious? ' . Well, perhaps not always, because we are sure that he ' ' can be quite jolly at times. He is conscientious and diligent in his work here and we are sure of his success in teaching. Page Forty-three Rurban Club; Emersonian Literary Society; Hiking Club. Known only as Peg! But known and liked by everyone. She ' s one of our jolly Seniors, with a ready smile and helping hand for everyone. If all school teachers would be a Peg, wouldn ' t we love school? Is she full of fun? Ask the bunch in 214. Yes, Peg-, we wish you every success. You ' ll attain it with ycur winrinic smile and personality that has won so many fi-iend.s already. CECILE BOUGHTON Y. W. C. A. Columbia Cross Roads, Pa. Here ' s to Cecile, a tall, light-haired maiden, who may seem quiet, but is really full of fun, when one knows her. She likes music and is interested in mlifeical in- struments. She is fond of going home week-ends. There must be a reason, time will tell. She is studious and will go out a conscientious teach- er. We wish her success. Pdffe Forty-four MARY BOYLE Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Hiking- Club; Girls ' Athletic Club; Y. W. C. A. Play, then work, is Mary ' s motto. She is full of pep, a good sport, and always ready for a good time. A ; a school teacher she is sure to succeed, because her mmd is always on her work. Her character is easily summed up in the following verse: She ' s as sweet as she is fair. None, none on earth above her! As pure in thoughts as angels are. To know her is to love her! BEULAH BRADSHAW Athens, Pa. Art Club; Y. W. C. A. This atti active little girl from Athens has proven herself very capable as a teacher in the Primary Grades. She is a graceful, fun-loving girl, with beautiful long hair and brown, laughing eyes. Here ' s the best to Beulah! RUTH M. BRAUND Towanda, Pa. • ' Ruthie Y ' . W. C. A.; Emersonian Literary So; ' ety; Art Club. Beginning right is half the battle, is Ruth ' s motto. We have heard that she is an exceptionally good teach- er, and we surely do believe it. She finished in January and immediately started on her teaching career. Rut.i never puts pleasure before work, but when work is done, she is full of fun. AMELIA BRITTON Scranton, Pa. Athenaean Literary Society, ' 26; Y. W. C. A. Curly hair most attractively put up; white teeth; wicked eyes; five foot two in height; coupled with a charming disposition, describes Amelia. Her interests are not wholly confined in Mansfield. Her thoug ' nts fre- quently are doin ' research work in Penn State. She is industrious besides being full of fun, well liked by all and disliked by none. Page Forty-five We didn ' t know Mildred until this year — and it didn ' t take long to get acquainted. However, we are not sorry, for she ' s a peach of a friend. When it comes to lending a broom, dust-mop, etc., she can ' t be beat! Mildred is very conscientious in her work and we ' re sure she ' ll be successful in her teaching. Rush, Pa. .MILDRED Bl NNELL Milly Y. W. C. A.; Rurban Club. Mildred is tall and quite erect. The finest girl you ever met. Hard to know when first you meet. But soon a friend and one complete. She has made her mark in the Training School. She always lives up to the rule. Success is hers, but watch those eyes. They ' re bright, but surely catch the prize. This is Mildred — ideal pal and steadfast friend. Suc- cess be yours! CATHERINE E. BURNETT Kitty Y. W. C. A.;Art Club; Hiking Club. Troy, Pa. Kitty is a loyal little Trojan, who never accepts de- feat in any undertaking. She is just as goo as her locks are curly, and, if you know Kitty you can appre- ciate the abundance of her goodness. Always do your best and do it on time, is the motto of this fair lass, and she has always stood steatl- fastly in this theory at Mansfield State. Page Forty-six ILEA L. BUSH Westfield, Pa. A black-haired, black-eyed, smiling miss is she. She wins all hearts with her cheer, her ready sympathy, and her friendliness. The Training School kiddies adore their joggerfy teacher and with good cause. If we miss her during her short sojourn at Wellsboro, how much more will we miss her when she leaves Mans- field to go out into the wide world ? Good luck, Ilba — and may you never forget your Alma Mater, and those you are leaving behind. FLORENCE BUSTIN Towanda, Pa. Flossie Hockey Team. Tall, dark hair, blue eyes and a charming smile — a regular Irish combination. We first met Flossie on the hockey field, playing golf with a hockey stick. She really is inclined to be an athlete, at least one would think so when one sees her shooting baskets from the center of the gym floor. Though she is always smiling, we know she can be serious sometimes. We regret to have you leave us in January, nevertheless, may hap- piness be yours always, Flossie. GERALD BURKE Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Athenaean Literary Society. Come on, Gerald, play for us. How familiar those words are to Gerald. He is one of the Mansfield State students, always ready with a contagious smile. We would not say that Studious is Gerald ' s middle name, hut he certainly knows his stuff. Success to thee, Gerald! ANITA CAESARI Old Forge, Pa. Hiking Club; Emersonian Literary Society. A pretty, dark-haired, dark-eyed lassie is our Nita. Tall, sedate, a true Latin type. No bobbed hair for her. Everyone knows her, ' specially her roomies, who say she is just as full of fun and trickery as anyone else. Next time take a good look at her eyes and find out. In Nita ' s eyes is mirrored her soul. All of us wish her the best of success in her chosen work. Good luck, Nita. Page Forty-seven Ulysses, Pa. Hang sorrow, care will kill a cat, Therefore let us be merry. Yes, Laura, we all like to be happy and free from care, but our studies do take up a part of our time. Could you please tell us your recipe for studyin?;? P f- haps you might apply for a position in a large high school teaching the children this recipe. ISABEL CASE Troy, Pa. Here ' s another Tiojan, that joined our ranks. We all readily welcomed her, as we do all Trojans, for they surely make the most loyal students. We do not know Isabel as well as we wish, for she does not room in the Dorm. But her friends all claim her to be a quiet, studious, and fun-loving girl. IREDA CLEVELAND Mansfield, Pa. Peggie Not very short, not very tall; not very thick and not very thin; black shining hair and big brown eyes — that is Freda. Though she is reserved and rather quiet, it is only to those who have the privilege of knowing her well that she will let her real self be known. Although she expi esses her desire to become a teacher, we believe her fortune lies in another direction. Heie ' s wishmg good luck to Fieda. i(2l W Page Forty-eight New Milford, Pa. FAJTH ANGELINE COBB Y. W. C. A. Without faith — what would we do? And without Faith, fourth Floor would indeed be a dreary place. We imagine that any place would be dreary to a certain young- man in South Hall, if Faith were among the missing. Good luck, Faith, may your path of progress be indeed a Royal one. FRANCES COLLINS Austin, Pa. Y. W. C.A. We have enjoyed Frances ' humor and e.xcellent dis- position. There is no need to wonder why, for she wears a shamrock on St. Patrick ' s Day. Even though her in- terests are divided between the Eastern Hill and the several publications of the village, she seems to do justice to both. Frances spent the first nine weeks in Wellsboro, where she won recognition as a teacher. Everyone wishes her the best of luck. FERN COLWELL Susquehanna, Pa. Art Club; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A. Yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. Although Fern does not talk incessantly she knows how to gain knowledge, and we all know something valuable is coming when she recites. Are you sure, Fern, that teaching is what you want? Better make sure before entering the profession in earnest. ANN CONNELL J Emersonian Literarj tj -. team. Pittston, Pa. Society; Athletic Club; Hockey Years ago, when the Fates were weaving the destiny of our Normal, they came to the part of their fabric where something was needed to 2-ive it color. They de- cided to weave a maiden, gay, bright, beautiful. The mystery of dusk was imprisoned in her hair, and star dust sprinkled in her eyes. Then they gave us Ann. Although Ann spent her Junior year at Millersville, she is now one of us. Page Forty-nine Piige h ' ijiy Page Fifty-one MARIAN M. DUNHAM Mansfield, Pa. Editor-in-Chief of Carontawan; Normal Reporter; Publication Manager of School Paper; Athenaean L-.ter- ary Society, ' 26, ' 27; Y. M. C. A., ' 26, ' 27; Assistant Manag-er Basketball, ' 27. Neal is a quiet, sedate fellow; but he is a real worker as his responsible position would indicate. Neal ' s am- bition is to be a journalist, for which he expects to prepare himself by going: to college. We all know him to be a true and loyal friend — ask Frances, she ' ll tell you. Tioga, Pa. Combine pep and personality and you have Marian, who hails from near Mansfield (perhaps that explains it). Every one who knows her in class and out will agree that she ' s 100 9r all there and well worth know- ing:. She has already taught, and we feel that success is assured her. Her future? Well, we could guess, but then might be wrong, so we ' ll leave it to Fate. Time always tells. Page Fijiy-IHO ADELIA VIOLA EXSTROM Galetnii. P:i. Adelia is one of our light-haired, calm, quiet maidens, who always looks on the bright side of life. Behind those blue eyes, one never knows what to expect, some- times they mean seriousness, but generally fun and entertainment. However, Adelia never neglects her work for pleasure. So we wish this fair maiden of the class of ' 27 a suc- cessful and happy career as a school teacher. KLTH ESTHER FARNHAM Ulysses, Pa. She came to us from Ulysses. She has been with us three summeis and one winter, and is on her way to Mainesburg. She has been trained for a school mis- tress, but now listen, would not a home mistress do as well? We are all prepared, for you never can tell. We see by the paper, he visited his people in Ulysses over the week-end. RALPH D. FELTON Jackson, Pa. Rurban Club; Emersonian Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Flashlight. That professional air! Mr. Felton, himself, could not refrain from beaming his approval on it. Ralph was one of our quiet boys, but when it came to real, down- right work, he was weighed in the balance and NOT found wanting. A loyal chum, a studious lad, and a thoroughbred teacher! Surely such a classmate de- serves our heartiest congratulations and sincerest wishes for the best of success. VIOLA FLOWERS Mimmy Brooklyn, Pa. Labor conquers all things. Viola certainly believes this, if we aie to judge by her work. All who are acquainted with her know her to be very studious, and also hard-working outside of school. She began work with us in the summer of ' 24. Now we are bidding her farewell, -wishing her the best of success in all her future work. Page Filly-three WINIFRED FOSS Alba, Pa. Fossie Hiking Club. We know now that good things are done up in small packages, because we know Winifred. She appears to be very quiet, but just wait until you become acquainted with her. She is full of fun and is not afraid to say what she thinks. One could not wish for a better friend. Her faults are few and far between, Her friends are tiTie and many; And all of the troubles in her life, We hope she won ' t meet any. ISABELLE H. FOSTER Thompson, Pa. ' Belle Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club; Girls ' Athletic Club. I can ' t help it ' cause I love hirri, Is Belle ' s repeated phrase. And when it comes to dancing She seems to take the praise. When feeds or dances come along. You ' ll always find her there; In fact, her wit and humor Makes her welcome everywhere. GUS GARELLO Gussie Galeton, Pa. Secretary M. Club; Varsity Baseball; Basketball; Squad; Emersoinan Literary Society; Y. W. C. A. You all know Gus, the best looking senior in ' 27. He is best known in the athletic world as a prominent member of the varsity baseball team and as good a basketball player. It has been rumored that Gus is engaged to a pretty little school teacher in Wilkes- Barre. Of course, we don ' t know, but we can use our own judgment. LENA GAVAZZI Old Forge, Pa. Hiking Club; Emersonian Literary Society. She isn ' t so large; she isn ' t so small. She ' s a good sport; she ' s loved by all. Who is this she we are talking about ' J Why, friends, it ' s Lena; now I know you ' iwon ' t pout. ■Who could pout when they see Lena? Always a cheery hello and a smile greets us. We know her smile is sincere, because she has a heart full of kind- ness and thoughtfulnes ' s. We can just bet that some friend back home is glad when he sees her milp. Page Filly-jour EMILY GERE Brooklyn, Pa. Dark brown hair, big: brown eyes, round face, a happy smile, that ' s Emily. She is always ready for a good time. We are sure Emily will succeed as a teacher, if she follows the profession, but when we see her waitin ' for the evenin ' mail, we wonder just how soon she will begin a course in homemaking. She is inter- terested in all things pertaining- to nature — ' specially ClifF. FELICIA GIACOMINI Old Forge, Pa. Phil Emersonian Literary Society; Hiking Club. Phil is good natured, full of ' . ' .umor. and fun-lovin:? — in fact a jolly good fellow. Does she like to play ten- nis, swim, hike, eat, laugh, tease? Oh, no, not at all! If you see someone out hiking some cold morning, smil- ing happily and enjoying herself, that ' s Felicia. She ' s an all-around girl, but our best recommendation is her ability to make friends and get along with everyone. GEORGIANNA GROVER KATHRYN W. GROVER Kay President Hiking Club. ' 26, ' 27; Treasurer Outdoor qu ' ' 26,-J27; Y. W. C. A. A bushel of mirth, A peck of good humor, A carload of initiative, Y ' ards of poise. An unlimited amount of lovC; Gobs of sympathy. Plenty of spice, _ Kay of the S. I. G ' s. Ulysses, Pa. Still water runs deep is an adage which may be aptly applied to Georgie. We never see her i-uffled or excited, except peihaps when the seven o ' clock gong rings and she is seen hurrying down from fifth floor to breakfast. The only other time she hurries is when the mail comes and she is looking for a letter from — well — not her brother, anyway. Her calm and composed manner serve her in good stead in the Training School. We predict Georgie to be a successful teacher m the future. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (1 Page Fifty-five VINETTA HEINEY Montoursville, Pa. Y. W. C. A.; Outdoor Club; Glee Club. Vinetta shows fair promise of putting Montours- ville on the map. Admirable, Congenial, Unaffected, Refined, Natural. That ' s Vinetta. She also possesses such a rare dis- position that no one can be blamed for admiring her. A mixture of seriousness and fun and a good student. We predict a hrig-ht future for her. EMILY HILL ' Em ' Harvey ' s Lake, Pa. Art Club; Hiking Club; Outdoor Club; Glee Club. There ' s a deal of mischief ' neath t ' nis calm exterior. The willing worker, that ' s Emily! Always willing to do everything she is asked to do, and does hei ' work cheeifully and quickly. It would be ridiculous io think of her shirking a duty, howe_yer small. A good sport, — I ' ll say she is. She never cared how many trips she had to make to fifth floor to deliver telephone messages, uist as long as they would make someone happy. Wouldn ' t life be worth while, if alt our friends were like Emily ? Page Fifty-fix GENEVIEVE HILL Gen Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. 1 Wlaat ' s the use of worrying? It never was worth while. So pack up your troubles And smile, smile, smile. Gen says, to worry shortens one ' s life, and she intends to live until she is at least a hundred. It has been said, There ' s a littlp bit of bad in every good little girl, and so it is with Gen. Her jolly and courageous spirit reveals to us a girl much to ue desired as a real friend and companion. JEANETTE HILL Johnson City, N. Y. Upon a visit to this earth, Venus discovered a child slumbering beneath a shadowy canopy of trees. What a lovely child, she exclaimed, as she caress- ingly touched its cheeks in which there appeared two beautiful dimples. The child is mortal, she said, and fluttered away. You bet, I ' m mortal, said tbe child, awakening; with a start, and it was none other than Jeanette Hill. This happened a few years ago, yet she is as charm- ing as ever today. We wish Jeanette success in her future vocation. GERTRUDE ELIZABETH HOWE Orwell, Pa. Trudie Y. W. C. A. If you need a friend, Gertrude is always ready to be a real one, sharing responsibility as well as pleasure. Study is her middle name, but sometimes she gladly puts away her work for some genuine fun. Studious, capable of discriminating, and sympathetic, she will surely succeed in teaching. We hope to hear from you again, Gertiude. Clark ' s Summit, Pa. RUTH INGHAM Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. Light, but not a blond; dark, but not a brunette; that ' s Ruth. Ruth is one of those conscientious teach- ers of Group II, and, though of a serious type, can enjoy a good time. She is fond of music and especially fond of sports; but we ' ve often noticed her ringing the elevator bell before walking up to fourth. Ruth is a very studious girl, always desiring to grow broad. We feel quite sure she will win. Page Fijty-xcven Pii e Filly-eight Outdoor Club; Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club. Laug-h, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone. This just suits Giggles. Save when a class interiupts now and then, life to her is just one continuous joke. This failing, or rather virtue, if you may call it such, helps her out of many tight places. Once in awhile it gets her into trouble, but more often her ever prevailing good humor keeps her out of it. RUTH KLECN Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Art Cub- Athletic Club; Hiking Club; Rurban Club; Y. W. C. A. Long lives the merry heart That laughs by night and day. Wavy browTi hair, and biovim eyes, yet Ruth favors bright colors, especially Red. She is always ready to start something, always on hand to take part in any ex ' itement or devilment — brimming over with fun and noted for hearty laughter. Ruth ' s jolly nature com- pels the love and admiration of all her friends and, as we all know, these are countless. ANNABEL KRISE MILDRED KUYKENDALL Kuykie Orchestra; Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. Clever ? Say, you ain ' t heard nothing yet. Pretty ? Yes, and what ' s more, pep. Now you have it, yes, there ' s pep from the top of her brown curly hair to the tip of her dancing feet. There are only two things that can biing out this dreamy look in Kuykie ' s eyes, either her fiddle, or a letter from Blossburg, and even then the violin runs a close second. We don ' t know whether or not Mildred will ever be listed as a foremost educator, but we do know that she ' s a well Red TOoman. Mainesburg, Pa. Annabel is from Mainesburg. She left us in Januaiy, and we are soiry to have lost her. She is interested m teaching, but is not sure about taking it up for life, as a Strange gentleman may interfere. While here, she cheer us with her hearty laugh. She puts us in mind of the fong O Annabel. Annabel loves walking so well that she is thinking of walking to and from school for exercise (or is it for gym ? ) . Athens, Pa Page Fifty-nine MARY KUSHIBA Glen Lyon, Pa. Hiking Club; Outdoor Club; Y. W. C. A. Mary is a dear, winsome lass loved by all her ac- quaintances. This little maiden with snappy eyes is just brimming over with fun and pep. But we know she ' ll be a success, for underneath this fun-loving dis- position, she ' s serious. May the best of life attend her. VIRGINIA LaFRANCE ' Gin Meshoppen, Pa. Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club; Rurban Club. When we think of Gin, the first thing we think of her is her sweet, loving personality. She is full of fun, and is not afraid to show it, for her smile is an habitual one. Her kind, generous disposition has won its way into hearts of many Normalites, who will join in wishing: her happiness in hei- future life. But, Gin, if you ask us, we think you should have chosen the Home Econom- ics course. ELIZABETH LEAHY Bettie Canton, Pa. Y. W. ciety. C. A.; Hiking Club; Athenaean Literary So- Bettie, with the golden hair and frank blue eyes, is sure to make friends everywhere. She has a ready smile for everyone; no matter where you meet her she is always cheerful and friendly. She is studious and never neglects her work, but that doesn ' t mean that Bettie dislikes pleasure. Besides, ask Doree, she knows. GERTRUDE A. LEONARD Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Trudy Athletic Club; Hiking Club. Trudy has spent two years with us at Mansfield State, and we realize fully how incomplete our school life would have been without her. Her charimng per- sonality and her true Irish wit have won a Srge co- terie of f 1 le ld ' who will always remember r as a student teacher, and a ne ' er failing pal. We heCve loved her, and we know that when she leaves us our loss is someone else ' s gain. Her efficiency proclaims success, but, neveitheless, we say: Our hest to you, Trudy. 1 Page Sixty CHRISTINE LEIBY Granville Summit, Pa. ■ ' Lena Hiking- Club. Ch ' istine is one of our down-town students, who is a friend to everyone. She is studious and courageous in struggling to overcome life ' s tasks. Onci used to hear her say that she liked a Ford, but now it is a Chevy. Heaps of luck to Christine. JULIA LUNGER Athens. Pa. Emersonian Literary Society; Y. W. C. A.; Orchestra. Julia is an industrious, capable, seemingly ouiet young; lady, but once you catch the twinkle in her eye you chano ' e your mind completely, for she can laug-h, giggle, make witty remarks, and above all is an accomnlished tease. You ought to hear her plead her ' ' case! We are sure Judy would make a fine lawyer and an equally grood teacher. Our best wishes for your success Julia, and don ' t forget the Case. EDITH MacMORRAN Mac Ulster, Pa. Emersonian Literary Society; Hiking Club. Once in awhile we ' re merry. Once in awhile we ' re sad; But twice in awhile The sight of her smile Makes the whole world glad. T ' rat ' s Edith. With her winsome ways and sym- pathetic attitude, she has gained many friends here at Normal, who wish her the test of success and happi- ness in her future career. 1 - BEATRICE MALONE Montrose, Pa. Mugs Emersonian Literai-y Society. We don ' t feel very well acquainted with Mugs, as she fas done most of her work in the three summers spent here. We are glad that she came back this fa!) to complete her course. Look at her! Doesn ' t she look prim ? Mugs enjoys the out-of-doors, especially if there are any fences to climb. ii: Page Sixty-one MARGARET MALONE Archibald, Pa. Peg Y. W. C. A.; Stecretary Hiking Club. She is as pure as the wind and sun; And her sweetness endureth forever. Yes, Peg is another representative of Erin. She is like a bit o ' heaven to us with her ever-ready wit. The only time that she is serious is when she is wait- in ' for the noon mail. Ifs her lofty ideals and her inde- pendent way of holding herself above unworthy things that make us love her. She is a companion to be proud of. The best of luck to the one who has the makings of a successful teacher. GERTRUDE MATTESON Mansfield, Pa. Gertioide is one of our Mansfield girls about whom we hear very little. We wonder if a certain person in Mann Creek would tell the same story ? We feel sure that she vidll make a big success at teaching or what- ever work she chooses to follow after she leaves Mans- field State. AGNES McCarthy Meshoppen, Pa. Emersonian Literary Stociety; Hiking Club; Athletic Club. Yes, she ' s studious, brilliant, in fact, and very ath- letic. Dignified? At times, yes. But usually she is F. O. D., which translated into the vernacular means, Full of the Dickens. All her good qualities could not be listed, because once you become her friend you are always her friend. She likes to tease us, and, we hope she will like teaching. The class wishes her all kinds of success ' and happiness. A bright future is planned for Agnes. .MARY McCarthy McCarthy Moosic, Pa. Hiking- Club; Emersonian Literary Society. Good things come in small packages. I ' m sure you ' ll find this true in Mary ' s case. A first glance at her will make you think she is quiet, shy and eserved; hut those who know her will tell you that her merry laugh can be heard during all waking hours. At times she becomes quite overcome with mirth. Mary is our idea of a perpetual giggler. Page Sixly-lwo MILDRED I. McINROY Middlebury Center, Pa. Millie Y. W. C. A. Folks, if you want to meet an all-around girl, just get acquainted with Mildred. It isn ' t a hard matter and you will never regi-et it. If you want to cui-e your blues, just pay a vsit to Mildred ' s room. We regret very much that she is a down-town girl. There is a great attraction in Middlebury Center that takes her home every week-end. We wonder what it is ? AGNES McGROARTY Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Ag Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club; Athletic Club; Cecelian Glee Club. Who was the girl that yodled so nicely at the Y. M. and Y. W. reception foi- new students? Oh, don ' t you know her? Why, that was Agnes McGroarty, from Wilkes-Barre. Gee! She ' s a peach; never anything but good natured. You know that the life of the goddess of happiness has never been written, because her life isn ' t history as yet. When The Piivate Life of the Goddess of Hap- piness is written it will be Ag. i CATHARINE MERRITT Plains, Pa. Cath arine Outdoor Club; Rurban Club; Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. Another member of the S. I. G ' s. Laughable, lov- able, adorable, reliable — we all agree with Edgar that these qualities just suit our Buddy. Now — go = h da]n it — if I don ' t get a letter at noon, I won ' t wi-ite for a week. Never mind, Catharine, dear, we hope next year you ' ll be happy and all your troubles little ones. DOROTHY MILLER . Y. W. C. A ' A Lenoxville, Pa. r : Suquehanna knew Dorothy as a teacher. Mansfield knows her as a studenr. We girls know her as a jolly good pal. Lights snap out among the Beach gang when Dorothy sallies forth on her dignity (1). But wait till her door closes, — Sanp!!! and darkness no longer reigns. Basketball and hockey are her favorite sports and joy- fully she wends her way to the Gym. Good luck, Doro- thy, always be true to the Red and Black. Page Sixly-three NAOMI R. MOORE Atlantic City, N. J. Hiking Club. Naomi — those who know her best call her Na. Like her namesake of old she is independent, resourceful and loyal to her friends. Is she sometimes bored, or is it an attitude of watchful waiting? At times in class she has a triumphant expression which plainly reads, another letter finished. She isn ' t taking any chances with life to come, but is enjoying her crown of gold here. KATHERINE MORRISON AVaverly, N. Y. Y. W. C. A. Saints Pickle Us, here corfies Katty all alone. Where is Dorothy? Hot dogs! farm houses! roast potatoes! You never get anything that you don ' t ask for. Stick to this motto Katherine, and we will have no fear for your future. Perhaps in our visits some day we may again view your collection of butterflies and aquarium of fish. Happy days and many of them. ANNETTE ESTHER MUZZY Springfield, Pa. Nettie is a very efficient school teacher and much thought of by her associates. She is always on time and prepared in all her lessons. She has the remarkable reputation of being a wonderful candy maker. We wish you the best of success in your teaching. - f. EDYTHE ELIZABETH NEAL Liberty, Pa. Art Club; Y. W. C. A.; Emersonian Literary Society; Hiking Club. Edythe needs no introduction — at least not to the curling-room loveis. She excels in her studies and we would like to see an assignment that would daunt her. Edythe is one of Mansfield ' s most consciiMitious stu- dents. She ' s quiet at times — but, oh my: One of her favorite hobbies is getting her hair cut. Edythe says the boys don ' t bothei hei, but we dunno. h-u. M PS. Pnne Sixty-jmir GERTRUDE PALMER Y, W. C. A.; Alt Club. LeRoy, Pa. Gert, the fun maker, proctor, and artist natural born, Comes to your assistance when your heart is torn; How can I finish this task of mine? Is the question Gerty answers very sublime. I ' ll do it for you if you ' re not in a hurry, Just let trouble end and cease your worry. The task is accomplished and then fun flames, For play and pleasure are her aims. Success is hers. New Milford, Pa. FLORENCE PARK Parkie Hiking Club; Y. W. C. A. Florence Park, or Parkie, as most of her friends call her, is one of t ' ne many bright spots in Mansfield State. She is a good sport at all time and shines when there ' s a spread. She is studious and we predict success for her in her intermediate work. ARLOINE PARKER ' Arnie Westfield, Pa. Vice P ' e?ident Y. W. C. A.; Athenaean Literary So- ciety; Mansfield Masquers; Art Club. Lovable, capable, co ifident, fun-loving, happy, good- natured, sincere, attractive, popular, and peppy. These desirable qualities and many more in their class apply to Arnie. She glories in a dance, loves sports, excels in her work, and gladly gives good advice and loving help to everyone. It makes life more blessed to know l)eople like Arloine, and her hosts of friends sincerely wish her the best of everything! DORA PATTON Camptown, Pa. Outdoor Club; Y. W .C. A. Thou dai ' ling of the Dorm ' . ' Pretty and popular, witty and willing, laug hing and lingering — that ' s Dorie. If you don ' t believe it, ask any of her third floor gang. Dora ' s kind and willing manner has found a way into many hearts — and Camp- town has not escaped her wiles. With all of her fun Dora does not neglect her studies but goss about her work in a way that will take her a long distance on the path of success. Page Sixty-five ALICE PICKERING Atlantic City, N. J. What can we say about our Al ? Happy, carefree and as good as they are made. Her sunny disposition and her willingness to help has endeared her to every- one at Mansfield State. We haven ' t heard much about her B. F. ' s, but if we judge popularity by disposition tlien surely Al has her share of them. Her con- tagious laugh may be heard at intervals resounding through North Hall. Al, the class of ' 27 wishes you the best that life holds. ■ ' A true friend is forever a friend. SADIE AGNES PRECIT Mansfield, Pa. Sap Glee Club; Basketball; Dramatic Club; Athletic Club. Everyone knows Sadie, and to know her is to love her. She is the best sport ever. You should see her play basketball. She surely is a whiz but that is not the only thing in which she excels. Anything Sadie undertakes is sure to go over. One time when Sadie drops everything is upon the arrival of a letter or telegram from Stusquehanna. We wonder why ? Canton, Pa. DORIS ELIZABETH PRESTON Dorie Hiking Club; Athenaean Litei-ary Society; Flash- light Board; Glee Club; Student Council. Who loves our Dorie ? A vast array of friends. Why? If we would speak lightly, we ' d say because she ' s been so eager to serve by lending a pretty dress, the price of a feed, or a copy of a difficult paper we ' ve neglected. We would also say with utmost sincerity, because she gives from her bounteous store charm, sympathy, cheer, devotion and love to those in need. Then we ' d say we love her for her animated spirit, for her generous nature, and her own dear self. How? With all our hearts. EDNA IRENE RANSOM New Milford, Pa. Emersonian W. C. A. Literary Society; Hiking Club; Y. This young lady is steadfast and true, _ d may always be depended upon to put across anything re- quired of her. She is a diligent seeker after knowledge, and as a reward her reports show that her efforts have not been in vain. She may seem rather dig-nified to a casual I ' l sei ' ver, but the occasional twinkle in her eye rev eals to us that she loves a good time. Page Sixly-six EXEANOR M. REES Kingston, Pa. Recsy Dramatic Club; Athletic Club. If you can concentrate when she sits near you And whispers clever puns into your ears — If you can keep your interest on the teachers When Reesy vows she ' s bored almost to tears — If you can watch her acting in the limelight And still think Julia Marlowe reigns supreme; You ' re made of funny stuff, my fellow. The kind we ' ve never seen! GENEVIEVE REESER ' Gen Snedekerville, Pa. Here is a friend who will be loyal to the end, who will stand by through thick and thin. She is one of our Seniors who liked summer school so well that she came three summers. They say Brown eyes will always be true but don ' t try them out on too many masculinities, Gen, or you won ' t be teaching school long-. Gen says she likes Irving Berlin ' s music. Wonder why? JEAN CLAIRE REIDY Reidy Shickshinny, Pa. Soccer, Hockey, and S vimming Teams; Athletic Club. It has been proven that Reidy is certainly an en- tertaining and different girl. Listen to this, her code: Work just enough; go to classes if absolutely necessary but by all means yawn when slightly bored. Never take Home Ec. — too hard (bseides there ' s not enough music and art in this course), but always feel free to plan your house of dreams in class! ROSE MARY RITZA Ros«s ' ' Wilkes-Barre, Pa. ■iJliking- Club. -j[ Here ' s another Wilkes-Barre ' representativeT Kose is the one with that broad, vivacious ear to ear smile. We ' ve never seen her cross and we hope we never shall because that smile is an inspirational one. She knows how to work with a will and that makes her more desirable. She is capable of following any of the fol- lowing professions: teaching, photography, or hovise- keeping. Page Sixty-seven GLADYS ROBERTS Happy Coudersport, Pa. Hiking- Club; Y. W. C. A. Gladys entered the Home Economics course at Mans- field ' State in 1924. The next winter she taught and decided that common subjects were more in her line. So, upon returning-, she took up Group II from which she was graduated in Januai-y. We fear she may wish she had continued in the Home Economics course else why should she be so Happy each day at mail time? 5f Mi WYONA NEVA ROBBINS Bingham Center, I ' a. Here ' s to one of the best of girls. We know her by the name of Min. Now Min has one besetting sin, She doesn ' t know which to choose The name of Smith or of Little Feather. You may think she is still But you never can tell what -wit she has in her little nut shell. We surely do all love her And all do wish her well. FRAJVCES MARIE ROGERS Sayre, Pa. Pollyanna Athenaean Literary S ' ociety. Some day in the near future, when you pick up the Literary Digest, and turn to the page on Current Poetry, you will be sure to find a poem by Frances. Although this is but one of her ambitions, we are sure she will succeed in this one, as well as being a primary teacher or a missionary. Her fun-loving nature, her affectionate ways, are sure to lead her up the straight path. Say boys, if you want to get on the good side of Frances, ask her to go bicycle riding. VIVIAN M. ROGERS Westfield, Pa. Art Club; Y. W. C. A. What a gay miss she is — -withal s hard-woi ing and capable that we ' ll miss her from these old l lls next year. Vivian is destined to be a very successful teacher, and one of whom Mansfield may well be proud. We wish you good luck and Godspeed, most heartily. Pn e Sixly-eight Curls Emersonian Literary Society; Hiking Club. We ' re glad to have her in our class This bright and cheery little lass.; Because when she ' s around. She will never let us frown. She had her lessons every day, And so to give the class its way We wish for her success, Joy and peace and happiness. Moosic, Pa. ELEANOR SARGEA:NT Columbia Cross Roads, Pa. Rurban Club; Hiking Club. Eleanor is a bright-eyed miss from the realms of fourth floor. Nearly every minute of the day we can hear her contagious giggle and he-he. She J« one of the biggest-hearted, best-natured and all-around pals for whom a girl could wish. Eleanor is a true follower of the theory, Play when you play, and work when you work. With her never-failing grace, Eleanor will accomplish wonders in most any line. ; ' MARIAN SHAW Mansfield, Pa. O ' Shaw Glee Club; Basketball; Athletic Club. When it comes to athletics Marian is there. Pretty, dark-eyed and smiling is Mjjrian. Quiet ? Well, you must judge for yourself. When it comes to having a good time, Marian is with us. Do everything you can if you can get away with it, and this works often doesn ' t it, Shaw? Is it true that you have a Maxwell ? STANLEY SHUMAN Scranton, Pa. Shuman Art Club; Y. M. C. A.; Emersonian Literary Society. Cheerful, generous, and artistic — that ' s Shuman. He was always on hand to help everyone, especially the Freshies in need of slight attentions. He will give anything from his last cent to his roomy ' s shiit to anyone, especially to blondes. Is it any wonder, then, that he is popular with everyone? Judging from the way Stan handled all the art work, we may predict for him something big: and if you doubt our word, you may ask Atwater, she knows. iihmt 5 ,- Page Sixty-nine LOTTIE ANNE SIMONS Rome, Pa. Lollypop the prim, Lollypop the prudent, Lollypop the frivolous, Lollypop the student. Lottie is inclined to agree with the poet, Art is Ions; and time is fleeting. When asked what she was draw- ing she sardonically answered, Time will tell, wait until I label it. there are ai-ts that she likes, but not Art 600. However, when it comes to wi-iting themes, hats ofl to Lollypop! MARIAN SLOCUM Rurban Club; Y. W. C. A. Ararat, Pa. Old Maid School Teacher, did you say? Oh, my, no! She gets younger every day. As for her teaching, it ' s just right. She studies on it day and night. And some day — when, we can not tell — She ' ll teach just one and do it well. P! JEANNETTE SKRYNSKI _ Miners Mills, Pa. f ; Jean ' Outdoor Club; Hiking Club; Athletic Club; Orchestra. Our Jean — the heartbreaker of the S. I. G. ' s. She is beloved by the residents of both North and South Halte. Her laughing eyes and sunny smile are very contagious and we think the slogan Laugh and the world laughs with you just fits Jean. Jean ' s greatest ambition is to become a violmist ot note, but Frank thinks she would enjoy a career m home-making better. Page Seventy ANNE STANKEVICH Alta belongs to that large roup from near Athens. Who doesn ' t know some of ' em? A jolly, dark -haired girl who has made many friends during her three sum- mers here and has already added many more this winter. Her aim is a little rural school and teaching young America there. We wish you luck and success, Alta. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Hiking Club; Athletic Club; Emersonian Literary Society. We can never forget Anne, the girl who is ever bubbling over with laughter. You can hear her before you can see her, is the remark made by all the girls in North Hall. She has a great love for sports and gymnastics, especially folk dancing. The charac- teristic which she has developed to the highest degree is that of arguing for her cause. Even though vanquished Anne will argue still. ANNE STUCHKA Yennie Hiking Club; Athletic Club. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Personality goes a long way. Yennie believe? that, and so she is one of the most lovable girls in North Hall. She is always happy and ready to keep her floor lively. She and her ukelele are in great de- mand when fifth stages an impromptu entertainment. Saturday night you can always find her at the show pnd week nights she is in the library reading Children ' s Lit. GENEVIEVE SWAN Lawrenceville, Pa. Gen Hiking Club; Art Club; Y. W. C. A. True-hearted, whole-hearted, faithful and loyal. This is certainly very applicable to our well-known and loveable Gen. She enters into all her work in most sincere earnestness and she certainly does get the most out of it. However, with all whole-heartedness in her work, she finds time for her many friends and is always willing to spend a few moments with thom, casting a ray of sunshine while she is there. Positive success is before her and we know it will not be long ere she attains it. We wish her the best of everything in the future and these wishes bear our regret of her de- parture from us. Page Seventy-one HAZEL TREAT Y. W. C. A. Always sweet-tempered Always full of fun Always ready for a laugh Lessons always done. That ' s Hazel. Yes, she is well-named, for we know Hazel is a treat. She may seem reserved but she has all the qualities a true friend should possess. Can she see the humorous side of life? Just tell her a funny story. The giggle you get back will do you good. THEODOSIA TROTZSKI Glee Club; Outdoor Club. Theo comes from Kingston — that nice little town that has sent us so many nice little boys and unls. Althought she is not a Sup, she takes an astive in- terest in music. She plays the piano with grc it aiti ' -tii ability and lends her services to the Glee Club .n ever-faithful fifth-floorer she has stood by fifth thiough joy and sorrow, h.onor and disgrace. We can only ay that we wish theite were more like she. ' 1 PdHC Seienly-twi Page Seventy-three IRENE WARNER Gillett, Pa. Irene is one of our industrious, good-natured girls. She is a friend to all, and is liked by all who know her. We are sure she will have much success in her teaching profession. However, we know it cannot claim her long for we understand that she writes gum advertise- ments, her specialty being P. K. [OLA WATTS Canton, Pa. Glee Club; Hiking Club; Outdoor Club; Athletic Club. Earnest Lovalble Cheerful Laughable True Reliable Frank Peppy That ' s our popular and big-hearted Vi of the S. I. G ' s. She is a real friend and a true pal, known everywhere for her intense sympathy for other people. We know Vi will do great things in the future. ROSEMARY WEIGEL Canton, Pa. Art Club; Y. W. C. A. If you are in trouble go to Rosie. She is always helping someone. She will send you away with a bright face and a hopeful smile. She is studious, docile, and sometimes appears quiet, but the occasional twinkle in her eye vnW assure you that she is not so quiet as she appears. We are sure that the future has much in store for Rosemary. ANN ROSE WHITE Kingston, Pa. Hiking Club; Outdoor Club; Secretary Senior Class; Clee Club; Y. W. C. A. Come and trip it as you go, On the light fantastic toe. Carefree but serious, popular but modest, fijji-loving but studious is Ann. She is one of the most? popular colleens of Mansfield State, and South Hall has by no means escaped her. What would a Gym dance be without Ann ? A failure we are sure. Her kindness and generosity to everyone is contagious and we often. ' ll find ourselves doinej the dreaded task because of Ann ' s || influence. Mansfield wishes you a successful future. ' -11 ' I 1 I JH |y Page Seventy-lour HELEN LOUISE WILLIAMS Leolyn, Pa. Hiking- Club; Y. W. C. A. Helen is one of those good org-anizers who can organ- ize anything from a midnight spread to a group of wiggling school children. She is a steady, faithful student and always has her lessons prepared, though they never seem to worry her. She doesn ' t concern herself much with the inhabitants of South Hall. We suspect the host of boys fi lends back home is the cause of that. i MARIAN WILLIAMS Leolyn, Pa. Y. W. C. A. Marian seems to be a quiet and dignified young lady, hut when you get acquainted with her she is as jolly as the rest. She is bound to be a good teacher, because all the children seem to love her. She is a loyal and steadfast worker, never stopping until her task is com- pleted. We wish her the best of success in the teaching profession. m VERA WILLITS Jersey Shore, Pa. Vera has the advantage of experience in training the minds of the young along educational lines. They say she has met with success. Don ' t be afraid to ask Vera for help, for she is always ready and willing. She is a mighty lovable girl, if you don ' t believe it, just glance at the third finger on her left hand! Well, whatever your undeitaking. Vera, we all wish you success. BL.i CHE WILSON Fioga, Pa. Sweetly quiet and unobtrusive, but .she makes her presence felt. Like the wise old owl who sat in the oak, the more he saw the less he spoke. Perhaps hav- ing a few years of teaching experience she realizes the advantage of learning while she may, and thus, she comei to school for study. Page Seventy-five CLARA WILSON Wellsboro, Pa. Claiabelle, that adorable kid with whom it is so much fun to spat, for although she spiritedly returns tit for tat she rarely becomes more than momentarily peeved. By her quiet demeanor to and from classes, one would hardly guess that she is mischievous. Clara is richer than most of us in her variety of friends, among which a big yellow cat, a happy parrot, and a charming collie are favorites. RUTH WOODWARD Geneva, N. Y. Rudy Art Club; Dramatic Club; Carontawan Board. Rudy, dear, we greatly fear You ' ll have to stop your flirting. Those eyes that look so wise Are really quite diverting. Never mind, Rudy, without you this book would be lacking much. We have only to gaze at the art plates to know that. As our art editor we are proud of you. To love art is to love beauty, and Rudy is art, itself. RUTH E. WRIGHT ' Right Emersonian Literary Society; Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club. There is but one way to be happy and that is to make others so. One would think Ruth coined that expression, for she certainly practices it. Three sum- mers she has spent here, and she returned last fall. She has kept the girls of the fourth-hospital suite in gales of laughter. We know Right will make a splendid teacher, for she has had experience. HELEN YAGLEE Hiking Club; Art Club. Hop Bottom, Pa. j] Helen comes from a gi ' eat big town. It has paved streets all up and down, It likes to educate its pupils bright, 1 And bring them up just right. A So Helen, it has se nt to Mansfield Stata™ To be a teacher, so high and sedate; .; s We know she ' ll make it proud to preach Of her success, where ' er she teach. t Page Scienly-six BETTIE ROSE ZIRKEL Corning, N. Y. Shortie Hiking: Club; Rurban Club; Emersonian Literary So- ciety; Student Council; Vice-President Mansfield Masquers. A worthwhile friend and a good sport. When you know Shortie you are convinced that good things come in small packages. Her unusual personality has won much favor and we are assured that she will be a success. Her favorite hobby is exercising at mid- night, dancing and studying — human nature. ■ill MABEL GLADYS BROWNELL COOTS, Canisteo, N. Y. Have you ever noticed the faraway look in Mabel ' s eyes ? Well, that ' s not strange, Buffalo University isn ' t so near. Mabel is one of our married members, so we natural- ly look to her for counsel and advice. She is well qualified to give advice as her teaching experience and good record in our school have proven. LUCILLE DAVIS Kingsley, Pa. Lucille has showni stick-to-it-iveness in her Normal work. She knows what teaching means. Whenever she comes back to school she joins our activities with vigor. We are glad that one of our number has had experience and at the same time feels that she can really learn something. We wish that we might have had her with us for her last term of work, but are glad to have her enjoy our latest fad, Wellsboro. This year ' s class is pleased to have her complete her work with us. HELENA HOGAN Waverly, N. Y. When you ' re downhearted and blue and need a good ' ' t ' al just go to Helena. She is bound to give you a cheery word and smile that will help a lot. This Waverly miss came to us this year from West Chester, which makes her the more interesting to know. We are glad she prefers Mansfield State. We know you ' ll be successful in teaching, Helena, and may good luck ■with you always. ' M ' -.m Page Seventy-seven Ptige Seventy-eight RUSSELL E. ALDEN Russ ' Bull Snake Nicholson, Pa. Varsity Football, ' 24, ' 25, ' 26; Vice President M Club; Baseball, ' 25; Glee Club; Red and Black Serenad- ers, ' 24; Ambulance Co.; Y. M. C. A. In Russ, Mansfield is losing one of the best tenor voices it has heard in a long- time, as well as a strong link in her football chain, and a very fine fellow. Al- ways cheerful and always willing to help, Russ is liked by all, including the faculty and Marj. We are thinking that before long our friend will be getting a Cook. We wish him the best in life. ELIZABETH BENJAMIN Scranton, Pa. Lizzie President Y. W. C. A.; Glee Club; Art Club; Hiking Club; Opera, ' 26; Associate Editor of Junior High School Quarterly. Giggles! Giggles! Giggles! out unless you ' re immune! Lizzie! — whom we love jolly child, carefree, wide awake, and sometimes sar- castic, but always sympathetic and a true friend. What would the Presbyterian choir be without her deep alto voice? What would foui-th floor be — with Lizzie gone? What would any of us do vnthout her? Very contagious. Keep and admire. She is a MARGUERITE BENJAMIN Sranton, Pa. Maggie Cecelian Glee Club; Opera, ' 26; Carontawan Board, ' 27; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, ' 25- ' 26, ' 26- ' 27. Open your doors — oh! you fun-lovers! And open your doors — you everlasting crepe-hangers! And Maggie will enter. Who is this Maggie? A mirthful lassie! A clever jester! A Gloom Chaser — always. Open your hearts — oh! you carefree! And open your hearts — you perpetual down-casts. And Maggie will enter. Who is this Maggie? Maggie — the gay; the sympathetic; the understanding. Maggie — the eveiieadv and eternal pal. She is Maggie. JAMES BENNETT Mansfield, Pa. Jimmie Y. M. C. A.; Ambulance Company. Here we have another one of the popular down-town boys. Jimmy can give you convincins proof of the superiority of Mansfield State over all inferior schooN, such as State College. If you want to get the advice of a Science shark, see Jim. He ' s got the stuff. Page Eighty LOWELL BOSTWICK Pooch Scrub Basketball, ' 25, ' 26; Orchestra; Y. M. C. A. Pooch came to us from the thriving town of Elk- land and has remained with us for three winter terms. He is a real pal of the ladies, but his interests ex- tend outside Mansfield State. We know, because Lowell is said to be taking a Correspondence Course from a nearby town. He also has a keen interest in some affairs down town. HERMAN BROWN Ida is one of our members who is not afraid of hard work. No matter what work needs to be done, whether or not it is required, she is always ready to help another fellow. Ida has the advantage of lots of us in other ways, too, for she can see over the crowd and tell the rest of us poor mortals what is going on. Ida, we know you ' ll succeed. Elkland, Pa. Tunkhanock, Pa. Emersonian Literary Society; Rurban Club; Ambu- lance Co.; Flashlight, ' 26, ' 27; Y. M. C. A. Mathematician? That ' s Brownie. We envy his ability along this line. Even though he is a hard-work- ing student, he is always in the midst of any fun that takes place. He has surely proven to be a fine busi- ness manager for our school paper this year. We know his future will be successful, for true merit deserves reward. ANDREW CAMPBELL Andy Emersonian Literary Society; Rurban Club; Ambu- lance Company. Another one of the old Science Gang has come back to finish up. Andy tried teaching long enough to know that he likes it. Memories of the Lab and psychology class always reminds us of the light-haired boy who could juggle the ions and neurons to suit himself. Up and Atom Andy. Page Eighty-one ALLEN CHAMBERLAIN Mansfield, Pa. Athenaean Literary Society; Glee Club; Band; Y. M. C. A. When you think of Allen, you naturally think of Naomi. Allen is not so talkative, but he gets there just the same. As to his ability as an artist, just ask the folks who have to make graphs and posters. He seems to enjoy automobile riding and good scenery, especially when it is near Lindley. Allen hates to be called Red, and no wonder, for he doesn ' t have red hair. DESTA COLE Mansfield, Pa. Y. W. C. A. ' Tis well worthwhile to cultivate the friendship of Desta, who stands true through thick and thin. A fine jovial nature lies hidden underneath a quiet, modest cloak. Her industry, open-mindedness and good com- mon sense will lead her to success, we feel sure. A bright smile, A cheery gi-eeting. And a well-prepared lesson. That ' s Desta. We shall hear great things of Desta, because she has already proved herself a splendid, alert Latin teacher. DOROTHY COPALOWITZ Sayre, Pa. Dot Hiking Club; Emersonian Literary Society. While there ' s life there ' s hope. We couldn ' t find a more fitting statement for our jolly, little friend, Dot. But life is not all play for her, for she is always will- ing to tackle a job, whether it be selling candy for the Y. W. girls or coaching the Junior High School girls in basketball. We are sure that success awaits her, and our best wishes go with her. GEORGE CRITTENDEN Coudersport, Pa. Crit Rurban Club; M Club; Intramural Basketball; Y. M. C. A. Everyone likes good-natured Crit, North and South Hall inhabitants alike. Why shouldn ' t they like him? He likes them! George gets a lot of fdn out of life, but he always does his work except when there has been a party the night before to upset his progi ' am. If you know of anything that might sell well with the students, don ' t try it out, George has a patent on it. All evidences show that he will make a success at teaching, but if he doesn ' t, he can always be sure of 1 bu Pane Eighlytivo MELVILLE IRVING DAVIS Mel Taylor, Pa. Rurban Ciub; Intramural Basketball; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Editor of Carontawan, ' 26; Assistant Ed- itor, ' 27. Melville, who was born in the wild, hard coal dis- trict of Taylor, bloomed as a rose among ' thorns. Mel shook off the yoke of this environment and in- stead of cracking: coal, now resembles the comnosite picture of the ideal teacher. He is maoring in Latin, something other people don ' t know too much about. Melville has had a controlling; interest in the Caron- tawan for the past two years and the standard has been boosted immeasureably. CHARLES WALTER DeWITT Trucksville, Pa. Athenaean Literarv Society: Glee Club; President Rurban Club; Gospel Team; Y. M. C. A. Hail, thou popular Normalite! Charles recently had his fortune told — two happy man-iages, a brilliant and successful career were pre- dicted. We are convinced that he is starting out O. K. That you will marry — ' nuff said. That you are on the road to success is well known, also. Charles is one of the rare individuals who will always do his part and do it well. His talents, as shown by his active partici- pation in the above named clulis and his ability as a teacher, are envied by most of us. Tioga, Pa. DANIEL PETER HOLLERAN Rusty ' ' Head Cheer Leader; Manager Baseball; Band; M Club; Holleran ' s Collegians; Intramural Basketball. In the person of Danny we find one of the most intellectual and obliging characters that has ever in- habited the domains of South Hall. His Irish brogue and supple feet make him the attraction of all gather- ings. Although we lose a friend, the world gains a remarkable orchestra leader that is sure to outshine Whiteman. Well, Danny, life is hard to beat, but fi om your performances on the drum, it will be easy for you. RUDOLPH B. HOTALEN Mansfield, Pa. Rudy Squeedunk Glee Club; Y. M. C. A. Here is he — our mathematical genius. What Math class would have been without Rudy to simplify the intricacies of higher mathematics? Then, too, Rudolph has been a great help in Miss Cornish ' s classes in Social Studies. When the atmosphere of the class- room becomes too intellectual, Rudy lightens the situation with some original, made-to-order humor. He deseives his degiee. Page Eighty-three EDWARD M. KESTER Overton, Pa. Eddie Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Student Council; Football; Glee Club; Treasurer Senior Class; Intramural Basketball; Carontawan Board. Falling! Why that ' s Ed ' s middle name, and we are all pleased that he has cast his lot into the teaching profession rather than steeple climbing. Recently a letter arrived — Ed. Kist-er; but we ' re not sure he did. Anyway, Ed. admits he ' s one of the gen- tlemen who prefer blondes. Ed. is a well known live wire, who always played the g ' ame, and our best wish is success in large quan- tities. MYRLE E. LEE Carbondale, Pa. Dramatic Club; Rurban Club; Emersonian Literary Society. Myrle comes from Carbondale, but we can excuse him for that, when we come to find out what he can do. In regard to classes — why he never skips one when he can ' t get an excuse. In dramatics, we ' ll say he ' s there with bells on. Anyway, we wish you success in what- ever you attempt to do, Myrle. ARTHUR B. LIBBEY Elkland, Pa. Art Mose Football Reserves, ' 25, ' 26; Ambulance Co.; Y. M. C. A. Art hails from Elkland up the Cowanesque Valley. A better pal and truer friend no man ever had. Foot- ball and the fair sex are his specialties. Many fam- ous men have dwelt upon our campus, but few of them ever held a firmer hold on the hearts of their class- mates than Art. His qualities are many and Mans- field State will lose a real sport and comrade when he leaves in June. May the best of luck and success be yours Mose! ft HAROLD LLOYD ' Hank Taylor, Pa. Carontawan Board; Rurban Club. Anyone knowing Hank will admit that a person can ' t be serious in his presence. His humor surpasses, l)y far, that of his namesake. (See Humor Section.) As a teacher — well, the future will tell. If he is as successful in the future as he has been here, the name Hank Lloyd will be on the lips of all concerned with education. Did you ever see any of his cartoons? If not, you have missed something. He modestly claims he can draw checks better than anything else. We know better, cartooning is the best of his many ac- complishments. We repeat, the future will tell. Page Eighty-jour President, Men ' s Council; Football Captain, ' 25, ' 26; Basketball; Baseba ll; President M Club. Behold the man! That he fullfills that unflattering statement was plainly shown in his manly conduct and capable leadership on the •idiron. his exemplary life among ' his fellows, and his executive ability in gaining the co-operation of us in South Hall. He also gained the co-operation of one in North Hall last year. Jay, by name. The influence of this true athlete in athletics and athletic life was keenly felt by all who came in contact with him on the campus. CLARENCE LORD Squeak Nicholson, Pa. Glee Club; Carontawan Board; M Club; Varsity Football and Basketball; Y. M. C. A. Clarence, commonly known to his Mansfield friends as Squeak, is a quiet, studious fellow. He spends much of his time on his studies, and devotes the rest to making his school better in athletics. On the grid- iron and basketball court Squeak proved his ability. The class of ' 27 sends its best wishes with you, Clarence. DONALD LOVELESS Tioga, Pa. Dunk Football Reserves, ' 24; Intramural Basketball; Y. M. C. A.; Carontawan Board. Where can a better sport be found than Dunk? We wonder! Wherever there is any sport going on, be it on the football field, one of the intramural basketball games, or a little horseplay in South Hall, Dunk is sure to be Johnny on the spot. Don ' t get the idea that he is all fun. He has his ser;ous side also. He has met with success in his studies, and the Junior High Supervisors will back us up in the statement that he sure can teach. ALFRED L. LUPIEN Al Redphord Wilkes-Barre, Pa. ' Red Rurban Club; Orchestra ' 25; Collegians; Intramural Basketball; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. Qui est le prof esseur de Francais ? C ' est Monsieur Lupien. Al will be a second Mr. Manser some day — red hair, the knack of bawling out folks, and all! He goes in for all sorts of amateur athletics sueh as bas- ketball and hockey. He is one of the famous Siamese twins: for where Harold is — there Al is also, and vice versa. With Ruth to keep him straight and by teach- ing French for a living, he ' s sure to be a success. Bonne chance, Al! Page Eighty- five JOSEPHINE MARONEY Coudersport, Pa. Joe Y. W. C. A.; Hiking Club. Our Joe is always neat and attractive, and we know she has many admirers. The Junior High School stu- dents are well acquainted with Miss Maroney as a peppy noon-teacher and the Normalites find her good fun. Just to watch her smiles convinces one that she goes in for all kinds of fun and excitement. If you want anybody to do something for you, just ask Joe; her policy is Here I am, I ' ll help you. The best of luck to you, Joe, and we hope you ' ll come back to Mansfield State some day. a II ! Jill HARRIET E. McCABE Campbell, N. Y. Athletic Club; Hiking Club; Art Club. This popular lassie hails from Campbell, N. Y,. and Campbell has reason to be proud of its representative. Her friendly disposition, and her kindness toward all, places her high in the estimation of everyone and hence we hear it said that she is loved by all. How- ever our admiration also turns to her mental ability, for in all classes she has displayed a marked degree of intelligence. We know that she will be successful, but, with this knowledge we take the privilege- of wishing iier the best of luck and happiness. CASPER McClelland Mosherviile, Pa. Cap Business Manager Mansfield Masquers; President Athenaean Literary Society ; M Club; Gospel Team; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Football Manager. Cap? Oh, you know him! He ' s that tall, graceful, smiling chap who seems so much at home wherever he is — on the dance floor, in the classroom, or on a tete-a-tete with some good-looking young lady. However, even with all these accomplishments Cap had time to be manager of football this year, and that requires no small amount of time. Ask anyone who knows! ROBERT MERRILL Bob Business Manager Student Publication; Editor-in- Chief Junior High School Teachers ' Quarterly; Lead in Clarence ; Mansfield Masquers; Athenaean Literary Society. Bob is tall, long, and lank. He is very well in- formed on most any subject one wishes to bring up. One youngster asked regarding his part in Clarence, How can you look so dumb and yet know so much? Bob has possibilities of a brilliant future, and we wish him luck. I I -I If .Vi eB |. ' g J% Page Eighly-six GEORGE MILLER Y. M. C. A.; Band; Cheer Leader: Collegians ; Red and Blacks; Assistant Manager of Football. This quiet little chap of unsurpassed abilities has proved his excellence in many fields he has undertaken As a saxophonist, no one could make sweeter music. As a language instructor, no one could speak better German. As a manager, his work was highly com- mendable. We can class George among the mightiest, and hope these abilities will be of gi ' eat value to him in his chosen field — education. She has pretty, brown eyes and a face that is sweet. She is quiet and reserved at times, and then she is as jolly and carefree as the rest of us. Have you ever needed any help ? You will find that she is ever ready to be a friend; she ' s true-blue and a person one may depend upon. Besides she is bright, a good student, and liked by all. So here ' s to Edna. Millerton, Pa. ERNEST MITCHELL Mansfield, Pa. Basketball; Emersonian Literary Society; Ambu- lance Co.; Y. M. C. A. Ernest has proven himself to be a very competent student while he has been with us. He has never bothered the deans in social aifairs with the girls. He has to answer to another dean — his wdfe! Neverthe- less he has been a faithful friend to us all. We wish him the greatest success in life, in memory of the Mansfield State spirit. FRAJVK MUSKALOON .Peckville, Pa. Musky ' YTM. C. A. Little, good-natured, pretty curly hair, and one of our best friends. He has entertained the boys in South Hall many times by playing Home Sweet Home on his mouth organ. A sincere student of whom Mans- field State is proud. We wish you the best Musky, and hope you win the Key to Happiness. Page Eighty-seven CHAUNCEY W. OAKLEY Kingsley, Pa. Emersonian Literary Society; Rurban Club; Y. M. C. A.; Orchestra. He is! ambitious and studious, and would you believe it — we hear rumors of him becoming a preacher? Now Chauncey, with his fiddle is quite a howling suc- cess, so I ain told by other inmates of third floor. His success is ceitain. All we can say is Good luck, God bless you, and buy a pound of rice. lii LOIS J. OSBORNE Nicholson, Pa. Lowee Garrotte Literary Editor of Carontawan, ' 27; Glee Club; Art Club; ' Rurban Club; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, ' 26, ' 27. Such hair — dazzling! Such eyes — flashing! Such lovable ways! A sweet smile, winning dimples — even one in her chin. Beware! An imp lurks within. Interesting? I ' ll say so! A teacher? A whiz! A pal ? Always. Absolutely irresistible! Is it Faming Youth? Yes! and, incidentally, Lois JOY Osborne. WARD OWEN Lawton, Pa. I Athenaean Literary Society; Rurban Club. Lo! and behold! the conscientious young man! That is why few of us know or realize his merits, but, nevertheless, he has them. Quiet? Not necessarily. He is just so serious about his work that he fools the public, for he really does his share of fun making. Outside of teaching his chief aim is to some day own a Butler. Here ' s wishing you the best of luck in both, Ward. Ward is also fond of soft-boiled eggs. Coudersport, Pa. ELM IN A C. ROSSITER Elmira Y. W C. A. Elmira has picked the honors and knowledg-e from the highest branches of the tree called success. This little maiden is modest and quiet, with a win- ning way. She has been much liked in the Junior High School as a student teacher. Her ability to teach is assuied. We i)redict a bright future for El- mira, and wish her heaps of succops. ! 3-1-3 fi Page Eighly-eight Page Eighty-nine La RUE STAJVTON Rue Mansfield, Pa. LaRue is one of our quiet, resei ' ved students. Is he always thus ? I should say not. Haven ' t you ever seen him play baseball ? Well if you have, you vi on ' t say he is very reserved, because when on the diamond, the opposing team is fully aware of his presence. What the future holds in store for LaRue we can not predict, for, of course, only time will tell, but present indications show that everything will come well for him. BENNETT STRAIT Sylvania, Pa. Treasurer Middler Class; Dramatic Club; Y. M. C. A. What is he? Actor, Vegetarian or Magician? There is no doubt in our minds but that he is an actor as he demonstrated his ability last year in Sev- enteen and The Other One. Mr. Balch will also tes- tify that his an actor. Some say he is a vegetarian be cause he likes the gi-ass so well. Still greater numbers witnessed his ability as a magician in the Y. M. C. A. Minstrels last fall. Who didn ' t shudder as he ran the hat pins into his arm and how many have shivered as they saw him driving a pin into his knee? EMILY VAN HORN Thompson, Pa. Rurban Secretary Emersonian Literary Society; Club; Y. W. C. A. We, that are left, can ' t help but almost wish Emily did not graduate this year. We, who know her and have worked with her, realize what a worthy friend she has been to us all. Beneath her quiet and loving manner she is endowed with a wonderful executive ability by which she will be sure to realize our dreams for her. We haven ' t the least doubt, but that she will be as faithful as an Oak. Good luck, Emily. DONALD WATSON Athens, Pa. Tubby Glee Club; Rurban Club; M Club; Y. M. C. A. His name does not imply any impediment in his speed, but, rather, says or means something formidable on the gridiron. ' Tubby is a good-natured fellow who doesn ' t let the cares of the world maku him round- shouldered. After all is said and done, even the ladies would have missed him had he not chosen to become; one of us. v May health and success be your i-eward, Tubby. ' I 1 1 ra ? ?!

His popularity and interests are varied as is shown above. Grunt has an alert rival in a certain Mick from the New England States, who summons his pugnacious instinct. With Grunt at the helm, it is not necessary to say that the class of ' 27 is the greatest in the history of Mansfield State. Bnm lErnnnmtrB ROSE BEDE Scranton, Pa. Emersonian Literary Society; Art Club; Domicilian Club. This modest lady hails from Scranton. but we love her just the same. Don ' t let her fool you — she ' s not the shy creature she would make you believe. In an un- assuming way she has made lots of friends, and gets along with the whole world. And did you say ideas, opinions and knowledge? All we can say is: Still they gazed and still The wonder grew That one small head should Carry all she knew. KATHRYN CRONK Kitty Factoryville, Pa. Athenaean Literary Society; Y. W. C. A.; Outdoor Club; Domicilian Club. Kitty is just five-foot one, quite a small edition, but she is filled to overflowing with the qualities that go to make up a girl whom all must love because they must. She can make good bread, as well as fudges. She can sew with skill and has an eye for dust. She ' ll win the best that life can hold in store. Page Ninety-one SARAH A. HAAG Sally Bellefonte, Pa.

Athletic Club; President Y. W. C. A., ' 26; Domicilian Club, ' 26; President Girls ' Student Council, ' 27. Ebbie is calm, good natured, and a jolly good fel- low. Even the dignities of being the President of the Girls ' Student Council were not enough to ruffle her serenity. We all love Ebbie and no one regrets having elected her for our president, as she was fair and square to everyone concerned. In addition to her other good qualities, Ebbie is a peach of a cook, as can be testified by all those who ate chicken at the Trustees ' Dinner. RUTH HUTHMAKER Wyoming, Pa. Domicilian Club; Art Club; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A.; Outdoor Club. Time goes by in the heart. As the roses wither; Summer passes away, And the fall drifts thither. Time goes by in the heart, As the clouds in the sky; But the way we have learned to love you. Never can pass by. f-j 4 Troy, Pa. LUCINDA BUCKFORD MASON Domicilian Club.

Wherever Ethelyn is found, we ' find Neatness and Methods personified. She is not j; only a star in her school work, but stars as a true and ]• loyal friend. May these stars continue to shine on, i in whatever you may undertake. EVELYN MORLEY Hienie Galeton, Pa. Dramatic Club; Athletic Club; Outdoor Club; Y. W. C. A.; Domicilian Club. She ' s neat, she ' s sweet. And very, very petite. It isn ' t quantity that counts — it ' s quality. We all agree that Evelyn has more than her share of qualities — good ones, of course. She flits hither and thither making us all happy with her happy disposition. She ' s fun-loving, carefree, and ever ready to lend a helping hand to one in need. MARGARET POWELL Scranton, Pa. Peg Domicilian Club; Athletic Club. Don ' t let this maid fool you. Quiet, did you say? Yes, if you do not know her; but if she is numbered among your friends, you will find her one of the warm- est and most sincere. Does she like good eats ? Indeed, yes, and can make good things that will tempt anyone. Her chief ambition is to teach Home Economics in Scranton. HELEN REKSTIS Scranton, Pa. Domicilian Club; Emersonian Literary Society. Here ' s to our Helen, she comes to us from afar. You may think she is quiet, but just wait till you get her started. Helen was never knovsoi to shirk a duty. When it ' s work, she is right there; and someone is in need, she is always ready to help. We hope that she will be a successful teacher of Home Economics. 11: k Jli Page Ninety-three MARGARET SAFFORD Brooklyn, N. Y. Peg Athletic Club, ' 24; Domicilian Club, ' 25, ' 26. Of course, we all know Peg, especially those on fifth floor. We have found since we knew Peg that good nature, humor and fun are not limited to fat people. Peg is very much interested in all athletics, but stars in dancing. All of her interests are not centered in Mansfield State. We feel that Peg will not regi-et having taken a course in Home Economics. JESSIE E. STARK Seeleyville, Pa. Jess Herbe Little-Sunshine-Joy Athletic Club, ' 24; Y. 5; Domicilian Club. W. C. A., ' 24; Outdoor Club, Playful blushes that seemed naught but luminous escapes of thought. Witty, wise, and peppy! As for being the pep and life of the party, Herbe wins every time, and her gay optimism is very contagious. She is most insistent about cheering people on their way by waving to them while they are passing ' neath her window. Thus did our Jess obtain her nickname, Little-Sunshine-Joy. ESTHER WALLIS Muncy, Pa. Athletic Club, ' 24, ' 25; Domicilian Club, ' 25, ' 27; Glee Club, ' 26, ' 27. Esther or Etter as she is known to her more in- timate friends, is one of our Home Economic girls. When you are going to have a party, Esther is the one to plan the eats and decorations, especially the decora- tions. Her sweet, winning way has won her number- less friends among both students and faculty. - iiif N ■II Ml T ' ? W |BI 33 Page Ninety-jouT Page Ninety-live EULETA BUNNELL Laeeyville, Pa.

She is a jolly companion, an all-around good sport and a loyal friend. Among the many friends Euleta has made during her three years in Mansfield one seems to be particularly outstanding, for when you see Euleta, you may be sure Dutch is somewhere near. With her winning personality and wonderful talent we predict a very bright future for her. MARY CAMP Supervisors ' Club; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A.; Band; Orchestra; Opera, ' 25, ' 26; Student Council. A willing heart and a helping hand, Always ready on demand; Always happy, ready to sing; Fond of eating, ' n ' everything. Mary has been with us for three years and we have learned to love her as a true friend and pal. A good worker and a teacher e.xemplified. She has a cheering smile and a winning personality that have won her many friends. Her wit is keen and sharp, and few can resist her power to bring forth a hearty peal laug-hter. of HARRY CAJSTFIELD Perry, N. Y. Supervisors ' Club; Band; Orchestra; Y Minstrels; ' 24, ' 25 ' 26; President of Y , ' 27. Harry has now been with us three years and we sure- ly hope that he will spend one more here. Harry is one of the best liked of his class. He is in on everything, that might help his classmates, and socially, oh boy, his technique is mean. Harry will not miss a gym dance because he is right at home there; he is one of our best. If Harry does leave us this year we vnll expect to hear much concerning his succ ess when he begins to ■ winu the l)eat ■ tick FRANCES CEASE Canton, Pa.

We predict for her a successful career as a Music Supervisor. Page Ninety-six MARGERY CHAMBERLAIN Sabinsville, Pa. Marg Supervisors ' Club; Glee Club; Band; Orchestra; Opera, ' 26. Marg — the girl with Titian hair, Has the will to do and the soul to dare. Everybody knows Margery — how could they help it when she takes part in everything? When we see her coming we feel that all ' s right with the world. Her smile is cheering, her eyes are blue, just brimming over with mischief. Her greatest glory was playing her E-flat clarinet solo in Pique Dame. That which she undertakes to do is certain to move because of her ability and thoroughness. CELIA CLEVELAND Mansfield, Pa. fiiupervisors ' Club; Glee Club; Band; Orchestra. Sell is quiet, but her serious look is a camouflage for the laughter and fun underneath. She is little, which carries out the saying that great things come in small packages. An excellent student and a good teacher. She has the right amount of ambition and perseverance that will bring her success in her chosen profession. Best of luck is the sincere wish of her classmates. FLORENCE CLEVELAND Mansfield, Pa. Glee Club; Supervisors ' Club; Orchestra; Band. We all love Florence, the happy Music Supervisor. Her sparkling eyes, ready smile, and peppy manner are always welcome. Can she dance? I ' ll say she can. We can always depend on her to dance with us between classes. Florence is sure to be successful in life, for with her love for fun is mixed seriousness, sincerity, and all the qualities of a good friend. She excels in harmony and no doubt she will become prominent in that field. MARTHA COLEGROVE Eldred, Pa. ' Martie Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; Supervisors ' Club; Glee Club; Band; Orchestra; Opera, ' 2fi; Rurban Club. She has won our hearts like some swet flower, Endowed with virtue, grace, and power. This little quotation expresses our feeling toward Martie. Martha is a good student and has been very active in school life. She is the kind of a giri about whom we are all glad to say, I know her. She is a lovable and industrious girl and always has a smile for everyone. She has won great favor with us and we feel sure that she will succeed in the future. Page Ninety-seven AGNES DEUEL Aggie Bunnie Lawton, Pa. lee Club; Supervisors ' Club; Secretary Cecelian Orchestra; Band; Opera, ' 25, ' 26. Agnes is a girl both brilliant and talented, but still she is sweet and unaffected; always a good friend. She has entertained us many times in the chorus room with her playing. She excels not only in this branch of piano plaj inr , but she is also a fine accompanist. Hev interests are many and varied, in studies and boy friends. Because of her winning- personality and pleas- ing manner, she is sure to hold a prominent place in her field of work. WILLARD EHLERS Mansfield, Pa. Music Supervisors ' Club; Y Minstiels, ' 24, ' 26; Opera Chorus; Glee Club; Band; Orchestra; Red and Black Serenaders. Dutch is a down-town Music Sup whose main interest is in North Hall. As a musician his specialty seems to be bass and we will surely miss his big bass voice in the Glee Club, as well as his big bass sax in the orchestra. Dutch is a noted comedian, as well as a musician. His acting has been a feature of more than one Y. M. C. A. Minstrel. We will miss you next year Bubbin, and we wish you all kinds of success as a music supervisor. LILLIAN ESHELMAN Lil ' Lillums Shippensburg, Pa. Supervisors ' Club; Glee Club; Orchestra; Band; Y. W. C. A.,; Opera, ' 26; Secretary Student Council, ' 27. Lillian may seem reserved to those nat acquainted with her, but her friends know she is always ready for a good time. Her outstanding characteristics — sincer- ity, dependability, kindness, and loyalty — have made friends for her everywhere. Lil has an ear for art as well as music and sometimes we wonder whether she will be a Music Supervisor or an interior decorator. Tioga, Pa. Orchestra; Band; FREDERICK GRIDLEY Glee Club; Supervisors ' Club; Opera, ' 26. Business ? Yes, we have a few busy places in South Hall. In fact a glance into Room 20 at almost any time will reveal a veritable hive of business industry. Fred resides there and you may be certain that he is engaged in some musical enterprise — except, of course, when he is making a study of North Hall. He has been a most faithful member of the orchestra and band, to which organizations he has contributed a most unusual instrument, the bass clarinet. Next year his fine, clear baritone voice will be missed by the glee club — in fact, we hate to see Fred leave. Page Ninety-eight ANNA KRUTZECK Westfield, Pa. Anacrusis Anne Music Supervisors ' Club; Cecelian Glee Club; Band; Orchestra; Opera, ' 26. Come and see her as she stands, Crimson roses in her hands; And her eyes Are as dark as Southern night, Yet than Southern dawn more brig ht. Anne is in music and personality a genius and a favorite. She delights all with her clear, sweet voice and readiness to play any of her chosen instruments. As for Anna ' s teaching ability, that is unquestioned , ELIZABETH LANGDON Ulysses, Pa. Betty Chickie Supervisors ' Club; Glee Club; Orchestra; Band; Opera, ' 25; Y. W. C. A. Our blonde Betty needs no introduction, as she is one of the fun-loving girls of North Hall. Betty is tiny, lovable, and good natured, all of wliich have helped to make many friends for her in South Hall as well as in North Hall. Her happy smile, and the enthusiasm she puts into anything she attempts, insures her success as a model Music Sup. MARIAN I. MERCER Coatsville, Pa. Muisc Supervisors ' Club; Glee Club; Orchestra; Y. W. C. A. Marian came to Mansfield State in the fall of ' 25, after having taken some academic work at summer school in West Chester. With this start and and a full program, she is finishing the three year course this year. In spite of all the work she does, she has found time to make many, many friends. EMMA RUTH MILLER Monroeton, Pa. Y. W. C. A. Pianist, ' 26, ' 27; Glee Club; Supervisors ' Club; Orchestra; Band; Opera. ' 26. Remarkably neat. Undeniably sweet, Trustful indeed, Helpful in need. Musically endowed. Intelligent and w ' itty. Loving and proud. Loyal and Pretty. Page Ninety-nine LILLIAN MOSER ' Lil Liberty, Pa. Glee Club; Supervisors ' Club; Band; Orchestra. Let me introduce Lillian, a sincere, frank girl. If you want the truth, go to Lil. Also in 420 you will find the most delicious of feeds. Is Lillian a cook? We ' ll say she is. She loves to dance and have a good time and her witty nature makes her welcome any- w ' here. She likes to teach the Training School cher- iibs. and we predict a successful career for this op- tomistic lassie. HENRIETTA MUCHLER Elmira, N. Y. SuDervisors ' Club; Y. W. C. A.: Glee Club; Opera, ' 25, ' 26. Hem-ietta, better known to the Music Sups as Henry, has been a loyal worker in our department. All the corresponding secretary work for Mrs. Stead- man just naturally falls on Henry ' s shoulders, be- cause she is our star typist. This lady has a pair of dreamy, blue eyes, and a most surprising way of mak- ing the d]ollest of statements at the most unexpected times. Don ' t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes. ROYAL E. SHERMAN Port Allegany, Pa. Orchestra; Band; Supervisors ' Club; Glee Club; Red and Blacks. He ' s quite a fellow and he holds the distinction of keeping what he knows under his hat, which is saying a great deal. Athletics are not his forte exactly, but he has played at a far more thrilling and fascinating game. As we have hinted. Royal has Faith in the North Hallites. We are not prophets, but we predict that Royal will be successful in his chosen profession. ROY THOMAS Facforyville, Pa. Y Glee Club; Band; Orchestra; Supervisors ' Club; Cabinet; Red and Black Serenaders. Music is his hobby and there are very few instru- ments on which he cannot play a tune. He is a mem- ber of the famous Red and Black Serenaders. His activities range from the rendering of a cornet solo tn drecting the songs in the Y meetings. The latter w. might say he does with care and grace. Roy poj sesse ' ? two things that make for success — common sense ani humor. Good luck, Roy. Page One Hundred Laush and the world laughs with you, is Avah ' s motto. We are sure that she will go through the world in good cheer, and even to California in the same mood. Ask Avah. Avah is full of pep and likes fun a nd good eats — but her studies come first. We always know that a good time is lurking somewhere when we hear the door open and we see Avah ' s bobbed head tilt with glee. Avah came here in 1927 to work for the degree of Bac ' elor of Science in Public School Music. In spite of the fact that she doesn ' t believe in bachelors, we know t ' nat she will succeed. WENDELL HALLEN •Windy Lawrenceville, Pa. Glee Club; Band; Orchestra; Supervisors ' Club; Red and Blacks. Windy is one of those immortal Red and Black Serenaders. In fact, he is a wonder on the sax. When you feel blue, go to Windy and he will have you laughing in a second. Besides being a Music Super- visor he has wonderful talent as a comedian. More power to you Windy in all your lines of work and our last wish is that you live all the days of your life. GLADYS NICHOLS Wellsboro, Pa. Gladys is a product of the big league, having come to us from Syracuse University. She is truly a re- markable girl. Realizing that she is a member of Beach ' s Sorority it is no wonder that she loves to dance and enjoy herself, but the marvel is that she also finds plenty of time and energy to expend in studying. Surely a mystery girl, but absolutely so on all week-ends. What has Welhboro to offer that Mans- field hasn ' t? JAMES SLATTERY Wellsboro, Pa. Jimmie £,v4i, M Club; Varsity, ' 23, ' 24, 29 ' Steady, easy-going James. Never a care, never a worry. That ' s Jimmie to a T. He never deviates any more from that course than our old friend — the Sun. Jimmie has grit, as anyone, who has seen him play foot- ball, will agree. Here ' s hoping success will smile upon you in the future, Jimmie. Page One Hundred One THE CARONTOWAN Words and Music by FREDERICK GRIDLEY, ' 27. Moderato. l jfflg- fc=H s= Arr. by FRED A.

There are two kinds of men — those who do things and those who sit by and ask why it wasn ' t done some other way. Willard is one of those who does things and does them without waiting for the bleachers to be full before he starts. In class he has the faculty of weigh- ing all sides of the matter. His judgment is good, his decisions well-made and his usual silence is due to thoughts rather than the lack of them. ELIZABETH M. BATES Mansfield, Pa. ' Betty Emersonian Literary Society; Glee Club. If you ' re looking for a good time, just call on Betty. Where could we find a better, all-around sport ? Betty has been teaching for the last two years, and has come back to us this year. We are glad and proud that you have been with us, Betty. EVA BERDAJVIER Eva Rurban Club; Y. W. C. A. Knoxville, Pa. Eva is one of the first to come back for the fourth year. She must be very fond of Mansfield State, and we ' re sure Mansfield is proud of her. Eva is one of those girls who is bottled up fun and humor. She can make anyone laugh and giggle without apparent ef- fort. She is saucy, impish, but — strange to say, can well be the serious senior and assistant librarian. Campbell, N. Y. Iji GEORGE McCABE Y. M. C. A. George is the kind that is always bound to make a success in life, for he is a worker. He has S||ayed at Mansfield State for four years. They were fm.r years well spent, George, and we know that you have really earned your degree. We expect to hear big things from Geoi-ge. The world needs more of his kind. Page One Hundred Four Our Alma Mater must hold a deep place in Anna ' s heart. She was graduated from he] e in ' 25, again in ' 26, and has come back for her fourth year to receive the golden degree of B. S. from old Mansfield State Somebody has said that if Ann ' s smiles were dollais she would be a capitalist. We believe it is true. Her willingness to help and make others happy has left an indelible print upon us. MYRTLE ALTHEA MYERS Mansfield, Pa. (Mrs. John F. Myers) We think she works so very hard in order that she may not get overweight. It is hard work to keep all giades up to 90 or above. Lives down-town — also lives with her husband. Drives a Chrysler and plays a ' cello in the orchestra. She directs a children ' s orchestra. She ' s a little prarie flower — born out in Nebraska! FRANCES OGDEN SMITH Mansfield, Pa. And thou are worthy; full of power; As gentle; liberal minded, great, Consistent, wearing all that weight Of learning, lightly, like a flower. Nowhere could we find a more earnest and persever- ing worker than Mrs. Smith. She was graduated in ' 25 with high honors, and has returned to us this year. We are glad to have had her with us. JOE YURKEVITCH Elkland, Pa. ■Joe Yurkie M Club; Y. M. C. A.; Glee Club; Band; Male Quar- tet; Varsity Football. Joe, a jolly fellow, always ready for a good time, came back to us this year to get a degree. Of course we are all glad to see him again as he was one of our hardest hitting line men, and he sure made his mark on some of his oppongnts. Joe is one of the best natured, most steady, and most dependable fellows that we have known here. Good luck to you Joe. Page One Hundred Five Hamt iErnnnmtra BEATRICE J. GEARY Susquehanna, Pa.

We find this modern Minerva one of the most de- manded persons in the school. She seems to have the knack of doing thing-s, whether it be teaching Bacteri- ology to a group of nurses, planning a party for a club organization, or talking. Bee Dee is being- graduated in the field of Home Economics. We feel the stress placed on the broader side of that education — Home- making — will be duly appreciated by her in the future. h ALICE S. HALLOCK Shavertown, Pa. Alice is a young miss from eastern Pennsylvania. She is tall, graceful, with a wealth of curly brown hair, growing out, and a face which expresses her chang- ing moods — everything from wistfulness to concentra- tion. Concentration — Alice is concentration personified! When her head is bent studiously over a book all the allurements of the world cannot draw her away. Her effort is rewarded by a vast wealth of knowledge to take to her girls next year. Girls, yes! She is to be a leader of girls in Home Economics. Labor et amor omnia vincit!

He believes in having a good time, too, and is always ready for a little fun. He is quiet, straight- forward, and is well liked by all who know him. MARGARET ESTHER DOUD Mansfield, Pa. Music Supervisor; Glee Club. Margaret is another one of our alumni who came hack for her fourth year. You surely chose a good class to come back to, Margaret. When Margaret dances, she is the personification of grace. When she plays, others simply can ' t help dancing. Margaret is always full of pep, and ready to try something new. We ' re sure that she ' ll make a hit wherever she goes. RUTH KOHLER Gaines, Pa. Art Club; Music Supervisor; Glee Club; Orchestra. Ruth thinks chiefly along the lines of Fine Arts. If it ' s music — Ruth is sure to be there. If it ' s sketching or painting that you want, just call on Ruth. We hear that she likes Churches, too. What about it, Ruth? Ruth was a graduate in ' 25 and came to us this year for her degree. BERNITA HELEN POWERS Mansfield, Pa. . Bernita is one of our down-town girls. She is gen- erally on time — except at 7:45. She always is full of ambition, pleasantness, and pep. We are sure that Bemita will make a successful teacher.. T i it Page One Hundred Seven Post (graiittates REXFORD E. COATES Elkland, Pa.

EARLE LESLIE BIDLACK Sayre, Pa Biddy President Emersonian Literary Society, ' 27; Editorial Staff Flashlight, ' 26, ' 27; Middler Representative of Carontawan, ' 26; Business Manager Carontawan, ' 27. Who doesn ' t know our quiet, efficient, business-like Earle? Always cheerful, always helpful, always will- ing. Earle is now working for his degree of B. S. While in Mansfield his interests have been centered in Mathe- matics and in business trips home. Perhaps Earle ' s greatest failing is that he can ' t for- get his fourth summer spent here and a certain brunette connected with it. RONALD BRACE Mansfield, Pa. Ronald came back to us at the begining of the second semester, and was welcomed into the fold. Last year ' s Carontawan accorded to him the title, The Down- town Sheik. This year Ronnie wishes it known that he has relinquished that title. The cause is a proper noun, feminine gender, singular number, a particular person and a possessive case. We wish him success in this case and every other good effort he makes. ' ' ' ' t MACK CHAFFEE Potterville, Pa. Intramural Basketball. We have with us tonight Potterville ' s contribution to modern civilization, the gentleman pool player. Like Young Lochinvar, Mack came out of the west, but in this case it was western Bradford county. The effect was the same. He proved dauntless in botli love and war and has decided after finishing two years of work to pile up credit for his B. S. 113 3: Page One Hundred Eight WAYNE HUTCHE SON Covington, Pa.

They are not always true. To some, the sight of that Jersey license brings thrills and mem- ories. We give three cheers for Hutch, a good sport and a clever conversationalist; I mean, the girl doesn ' t have to think of ways of keeping the conversation go- ing. Hutch ' s motto is Be on time, and we know he pi-actices what he preaches. Jersey will always wel- come him back as a teacher or as a visitor. CARL NEWELL Knoxville. Pa.

This chap needs no introduction. We all know him as a gallant knight who has achieved many conquests at Mansfield and who promises to gain great victories in the future. As a teacher, Bob, we envy you. As a man, we honor you, and a;s a friend, we treasure you. GLADYS PEET Knoxville, Pa. This quiet, studious girl is well liked by all who know her. Whether it is work or play, Gladys has the faculty of doing either with ease and enthusiasm. The fact that Gladys is a post graduate is sufficient proof of her ambition and ability. NORMAN SAYRE Plains, Pa. This boy looks collegiate. Get the innocent ex- pression in the picture? He is endov ed with more than the average run of mind because he always re- turns for more intellectual exposui ' e. He knows a good bit concerning most everything and never hesi- tates to express his opinion. Norm begins to show tendencies of becoming a base soloist, but laying all jokes aside, we think he will take his place among the Profs some day.

Burr (O EPTEMBER 8, 1925 stands out in our memory as one of the big red letter (j_3 days of our life. It was then that many of us had our first glimpse of the stately buildings standing like sentinels on the wide and luxuriant campus of Mansfield State Normal. It was the beginninj? of a new life. We were in a new environment , strange but wonderful. New friends, new duties, school activities and a desire to progress drove away our loneliness and made us that happy, industrious freshman Class. To show our good will and generosity a dance was given which proved to be one of the biggest, best and most enjoyable affairsi of the year. With all our work, pleasure and thrill of college life, the year literally flew by and before we realized it we were on our way home for the summer vacation. There was much sadness mingled with our happiness for we had parted with many of our senior friends, perhaps never to meet again. A year has passed and we have returned as the first sophomore class. True, we are small in number, but then, it is better to have quality than quantity. This time our hearts are gladdened by famliar scenes and faces; we are again living the life we have learned to love; learning the things we desire to know, and in so doing feel that we are on the right road to success. We have found our school life to hold numerous opportunities and responsibilities which we have met and grasped to the best of our judgment. As we look back over these school days we are filled with both joy and sorrow. We have passed the half-way mark of our school days at Mansfield. Soon we will be on the last part of the journey where we must assume larger duties and greater responsibilities, in the meantime proving ourselves worthy of the places we are to fill in life. As the year ends we must look forward to the parting with old friends and fa ' zulty. To the Seniors we bid Farewell, and wish them the best of luck and success; to the others we bid Adieu and may we see you all again this coming year. For the faculty we have but praise and good wishes. Every member has helped us to gain the things we most need and to brighten our road to higher education. We thank them one and all. ' ' On energy and ambition depends success. -Howard Burr, ' 28. Page One Hundred Thirteen Page One Hundred Fourteen Page One Hundred Fifteen Page One Hundred Sixteen Page One Hundred Seventeen ■Page One Hundred Eighteen Page One Hundred Nineteen TheF FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Sponsor John Cure Historian Harry Scholl Treasurer Robert Grant Secretary Margaret Gilchrest Vice President Janet Belknap President Donald Benson T IS PLEASANT to recall our first glimpse of ' The Little Town on the Hill — Mansfield Normal. The multi-lighted windows sending shafts through the gloom and terror of the unknown seemingly beckoned us onward. Thrilled by the thought that we were entering upon the threshold of higher education, the great stone buildings gave strength to our weakened resolutions. Of course, we did not know that this feeling of moroseness is common to all new arrivals. Nor did we realize that others have thrilled as we, and thus we felt ourselves to be the possessors of a great and valuable privilege. We have retained that thought through the first part of our Mansfield Normal life. We can never forget the dilemma in which we found oiirselves as we en- deavored to locate elusive classrooms. Then the upperclassmen took an iron hand in our affairs and we gieenies were forced to mark time to spirited music in shape of strict Freshman rules. As time went by the despairs of a Fteshman grew milder — the terrible upperclassmen became the friends and pals we had never hoped to possess and we were received into a great fellowship. We have come to realize the larger duties and responsibilities that necessarily are a part of an education, and a part of the great profession into which we are enter- ing. Our obligations are to those Seniors who have guided us, and given us the vicarious experiences needed to navigate a hard and rocky course. We also extend our sincere good wishes to the faculty for the sympathy and patience they spent on an apparently hopeless mass. To all these we give our unalleviated thanks, and wish those leaving these home-like walls Godspeed. — H. C. S., ' 30.

Student Manager. .Karl Van Norman Captain Manford Lloyd .Casper McClelland Athletic Director Kimble Marvin Coach Edward Rursell FOOTBALL — the greatest of all sports for developing in young men self-con- fidence, self-control, endurance, and good spoitsmanship. The man who can take a punch in football, get up and grin, and fight all the harder — it is he who will win in the game of life. Tho game-, of life could easily be compared to the game of football in that they both call for qualities looked for in men of today: endurance, self-confidence, self-control, co-opeiation. These are all necessary in either game. We are all bound to give most of the credit to our winning team of 1927, the varsity, but we cannot overlook the work of our reserve team through whose effort it was made possible to have a successful season. They are the ones who might be expected to become discouraged, but no one ever heard any comment from them. School spirit and honor accomplishes much where other things may fail. Summing up our 1927 football season it can be said that it was favorable in all respects. We had the most co-operation, both with the faculty, and the student body, that has been given to any team since athletics were sarted at Mansfield State. Page One Hundred Forty-three MANSFIELD— 12 WELLSBORO— The first game of the year found our boys in poor condition. Wellsboro brought a good team here and played hard to win. The first three periods were score- less, but in the last period the boys opened up and shoved across two touchdowns. It was a very poor exhibition of football and things did not look very encouraging for the season. MANSFIELD— 69 WILKES BARRE— The second game of the season was also a home game. The boys showed a complete reverse of form. The Wilkes-Barre Athletic Club had a better team than did Wellsboro, but could do nothing against our stone-wall defense while our boys opened holes for large gains. In the latter part of the game Mansfield opened with forward passes which completely bafi ' led the visitors. This game showed what Mansfield State could really do. Lloyd, Hill and Allis starred for Mansfield. MANSFIELD— SLIPPERY ROCK— 4.5 The next game found Mansfield State traveling to Slippery Rock. The game opened with Mansfield kicking. Slippery Rock took the ball at mid-field and im- mediately began a march down the field, pushing the ball over for a touchdown. This took what heart Mansfield had left as they were a beaten team before they went on the field. There was nothing that could be done against Slippery Rock then. The boys all fought hard but more touchdowns were scored and Mansfield was beaten 45-0. Slippery Rock had a wonderful team. One could expect little more from our team after havin°- traveled 280 miles in buses. MANSFIELD— 21 DICKINSON— 13 Dickinson Seminary came here on October 23. our Parents Day, expecting to take home the bacon. They had an enviable record, having- scored a victory over Pranklin and Marshall Frosh, a tie with Bucknell Frosh and tied with Cornell Frosh. It was a wonderful day and the boys felt like playing, as there were about 3000 people here to see the game. The game opened with Dickinson kicking. Kelly received the ball and ran it back to Dickinson ' s 35 yard line. Here Mansfield tried a pass and it was intercepted. Dickinson made a long end run which put the ball in scoring position, and carried it over on the next play. Score 7-0, favor Dickinson. Dickinson kicked to Mansfield as the quarter ended. Mansfield put over a touchdown in the second quarter. Score 7-7. A half minute to play, Mansfield kicked to Dickinson. Dickinson man runs length of field for touchdown. Score 13-7 favor Dickinson at half. Mansfield opened the third quarter with a rush and Hill plunged over for a touchdown. Lloyd kicked point. Seminary could not hold the boys in the last period and they went over for the last score of the game. Score 21-13. Mansfield made twelve first downs to Seminary ' s nine. Kelly, Burr, Lloyd and Hill starred. J ' dge One Hundred Forty-lour MANSFIELD— 26 KEYSTONE— Keystone came to Mansfield with the expectation of a big victory but were sadly disappointed. Our boys showed the fight which has always been characteristic of them and Keystone could do nothing- against our stonewall line. Keystone held the boys to a 7-0 level in the first half, but as the second half opened it was a new team on the field. They completely bewildered the Academy boys and rushed through them at will. The game was a little rough at times, but our boys showed true sportsman- ship all through the game. Lloyd and Hill starred for Mansfield. MANSFIELD— 7 CORTLAND— 7 Mansfield went to Cortland determined to bring back a victory. In the first half neither side was able to score, Mansfield having an edge on the playing, however. Cortland came back strong and by a poor kick was able to get the ball on Mansfield ' s 30 yard line. Here they showed fight and took the ball down to the one-yard line where they took it over on the fourth down. The last quarter opened with the score 7-0, in favor of Cortland. Mansfield marched down the field and made a forward pass on the 30-yard line for a touchdown. Hill to Lloyd, beautifully executed. Lloyd kicked the extra point. As the game ended Mansfield was marching for another touchdown and was in easy scoring position. They wei ' e not notified as to time and had to be satisfied with a tie game. Mansfield made 17 first downs to eight for Cortland. Lloyd and Worthington played well for Mansfield. SILAS MANFORD LLOYD, Captain Position, Halfback. Height, 5 feet 9 inches. Weight 160. Manford, energetic, decisive, a veritable tornado on the gridiron and ofl ' . Silas has been a successful captain and leader for two years, bringing the boys through his last year to the most victorious season Mansfield State ever had. Lloydie is a triple threat man as an athlete and student. To pick an outstanding game in which he starred is not an easy task because Silas starred in them all. But in the Keystone game he went the Galloping Ghost one better, flashing steadily into brilliant runs, line hucks, kicks and passes. Someone said his girl was at the game. Manford leaves us this year after making wonderful all-round athletic history. We are all his pals and our only consolation in his absence is that he ' ll make good wherever he goes. EDWARD HILL Position, Quarterback. Height 5 feet 7 inches. Weight 145 Edward Hill, familiarly known as Eddie or Hilly occupied the position of quarterback, and a nifty quarter he made. Five feet, seven inches tall, and weighing 145 pounds, he filled the position to excellent advantage. Eddie had a quick brain and was sure to pick out the weak spots of the enemy and this always spelled greater yardage. He never wore a headgear and his blonde locks could be seen bobbing up and down as he barked signals or pepped up his team by a word here or a slap there. He was a fast ball carrier, could pass and receive well and was an invaluable all around man. Eddie has one more year at Mansfield and we expect bigger things than ever from him next year. Best of luck and success to a heady ball player. Page One Hundred Forty-five FRANKLYN WHITMER Position, Tackle. Height 5 feet 10 inclies. Weight 170. A mainstay of the football machine that worked better than ever before. For three seasons Lefty gave his best to uphold the honor and gloi-y of his school. He has a character fitting to him, a gentleman and a scholar. Honor and determination are the high points of his make-up. Lefty knew how to give and take and do it cleanly. No matter what happened he never bowed. He knew that it is not losing but quitting that is a sin. His gridiron struggles at Mansfield are over. We know Franklyn Whitmer will win in the Battle of Life, just as he did while battling beside his pals of the football team. EARL MUDGE Position, Guard. Height 5 feet 10 inches. Weight 185. Horse. This is Earl ' s nickname. Perhaps you think he acquired it by con- tinually singing that old song Horses, Horses. No, Mudge always played a horse of a game. That ' s why all the football men say Hello Horse. Earl is close to the ideal as a football player. He isn ' t so spectacular; he ' s not a grandstand player, but a hard, clean, consistent playei- — always fighting for the team. Much more mig-ht be said of Horse. He is Captain-elect of the Mansfield State Normal School football team for 1927, an honor which few men have a chance to enjoy. CLARENCE LORD Position, End. Height, 5 feet 11 inches. Weight 155. Squeak, is one of the fellows hailing from Nicholson, who has shown superior athletic abilities. Words cannot express his method of breaking the inter- ference and knocking the old pig skin down. His excellent character is admired by all. Clean sport — we ' ll say he is. He ' ll take a knock and not grumble but watch the backfield the next play. Squeak is a fellow who will be missed by all, and he will always be remembered by the gang ' . Here ' s luck to him for always. HENRY OBELKEVICH Position, Tackle. Height, 5 feet 10 inches. Weight 160. Obie, the fellow that hits the line hard. He is not so large, but his spirit has made him invaluable. Obie comes from Throop. There is no particular game in which he starred — he starred in all of them. His actions around school show him to be a gentleman and his work on the football field prove his worth as an athlete. No one can compare with Obie when it comes to clean sportsmanship. The man next to him in the line could depend on him at all times. Here ' s luck to you, Obie — all the gang are for you. GROVER WORTHINGTON Position, Halfback. Height, 5 feet 7 inches. Weight 165. Grunt, Muncy Valley ' s contribution to our athletics, has proved himself an all around athlete, excelling in football. Grunt ' s natural ability for football placed him in the varsity backfield in his first year here, and for two years afterward he has competed against and outplayed excellent new material that has come to our school, making his berth in our backfield secure. His presence in the game gave his team- mates confidence because they knew that he would give his last bit so they all might win. Special mention must be made of his playing against Cortland, our hardest opposing team of the year. Page O.ie Hundred Forty-six Position, Tackle. RUSSELL ALDEN Height, 6 feet lyi inches. Weight 195. Alden hails ft ' om Nicholson. His nickname Bull characterizes his wonderful charging ' and tackling. Because of the important position he occupied on the team, it took a good man to fulfill the expectations of players and coaches. Russ did this. Thei ' e is no doubt in our minds that when he leaves school in the Spring Mansfield State will lose one of the best tackles it ever possessed. Alden is a three letter man in football and has more than won this honor. He is a true sportsman and is always consistent in his playing. We are sorry you are leaving, Russ, but we know you will continue true sportsmanship throughout life. HOWARD BURR Position, End. Height, 5 feet 8 inches. Weight 143. You would never pick Bucky Burr as a football man when you saw him off the field. He ' s a living example of the saying that the best things often come in small packages. The opposing quarterback found, after he had sent a few would-be sweeps around Bucky ' s end of the line, that he had sized-up Bucky wrongly. Fighting- spirit, speed, and brains mixed with gentlemanly conduct, on and otf the field, characterizes Bucky. And he ' s back next year, too, Mansfield. CARLTON HARKNESS Position, End. Height, 5 feet 10 inches. Weight 150. Doc is a product of Mansfield and certainly one of whom to be proud. As he starred at Mansfield High School so did he star on the Normal team. Doc ' s athletic prowess, coupled with his ability to pull down passes and to tackle made him one of Mansfield State ' s best grid men both on the offensive and defensive. He was one of the three (horses on the right side of Mansfield ' s wall and certainly lived up to the reputation. Because of injuries Doc was out of the last few games, but he has another year here. DONALD WATSON Position, Center. Height 5 feet 10 inches. Weight 180. Tubby came to us from Athens, and they may well be proud of their product. This was Tubby ' s third year as varsity center and certainly he played his position well. He was an accurate ball tosser and could tear a hole in the line. It would be hard to pick out Tubby ' s best games as he did so well in all of them. We are sorry that this is his last year here for his absence is going to leave a big hole in the teann, but wherever he goes we hope he will have as much success as he has had on the gridiron. Best of luck and success to a good sport and football player. Position, End. LEO ALLIS Height 5 feet 6 inches. Weight 170. Leo is a product of Mansfield High School, where he starred before coming to Mansfield State. At the first of the season he was placed at his old position at guard but Coach Russell saw possibilities of an end or backfield man. He was placed at end where he played a wonderful brand of football. He is a hard tackier, can pull down passes and is good on both defensive and offensive. Leo was unable to show his stuff to the best advantage because of injuries received the first of the season. He has another year at Mansfield and we expect bigger things than ever from him. . ' age One Hundred Forty-seven WILLARD ACKLEY Position, End. Height, 5 feet 8 inches. Weight 170. Here ' s ' to the man who fights and wins. We mean Pop Ackley. He proved i.0 us that he could play football just as well as he sings. While Willard was in the backfield he played a good game, but when he was shifted to end — well, he did things, tbings which only a fighting and hard-working man can do. When he tackled, the opponent knew that something had hit him. Ackley is leaving us this year and we expect to hear big things of him in the near future. WELDON WOODWORTH Position, Fullback. Height 5 feet 11 inches. Weight 180. Woody, who hails from Potter County, laid aside his axe and proved his woi ' th upon the gi-idiron by his ability as a line-bucker. Many moons have passed since Mansfield State has had a chap of Woody ' s spirit, fight and ability in the fullback position. Woody ' s ability to buck the line made him one of the most valuable men, on ths team. May he be the shining light next year as this. Best of luck and success to a good player. STANLEY ALLEN Position, Halfback. Height, 5 feet 6 inches. Weight 145. Shorty came to us from Scranton where the little boy was accustomed to show them up at the Technical High School. We ' ll admit Ihe isn ' t very big, but neither is dynamite. He started out hard at the beginning of the season, but unfortunately injuries put him out of the game for the latter half. His short stocky build is ideal for a bac!kfield man, as they can ' t be too close to the ground. We expect him to strut his stuff next season. LEONARD TRACE Position, Guard. Height 5 feet 11 inches. Weight 170. Firp, with a strong physique, hails from Newport High School, Luzerne County. He was a new man reporting for the team, but it didn ' t take long before Coach Ed. ' Russell had picked him as a tower of strength for our line. Firp is a boy of few words while in the game, but was found to be pretty reliable when it came to action. We also found him a man who at all times displayed good sportsmanship. We expect to hear more of him next fall. GEORGE CRITTENDEN Position, Quarterback. Height, 5 feet 9 inches. Weight 160. George hails from Coudeisport and he surely had that never-say-die spirit. He has been with us for three years and has given his best to make the teams here the best possible. His position was a varied one as Coach Russell saw fit to change him from backfield to end where he performed well. George ' s ability to punt was one of his strong points. This is George ' s last year with us and we are sorry to see him go, but we send him off with best wishes for luck and success. JOSEPH YURKEWITCH Position, Guard. Height, 5 feet 8 inches. Weight 170. Joe is from Elkland. We think Coach Russell regrets his mistake of letting one of the best guards Mansfield State has ever seen in action, sit on the bench for two seasons. Joe did not get a chance to show his stuff until this year, but when he did he ceitainly did tear up the line. His fighting spirit and his ability to diagnose plays made him one of the most valuable linemen of the year.

The team of 1927 did not win the State Championship but the fault can not be placed on anyone. Old Bad Luck was on the trail of the team for the larger part of the season. Over-confidence caused defeat when victory was apparently within reach. Coach Marvin worked gallantly with the boys and they should have had an- other State Championship. The season ended with five wins and four defeats. All the players will be back next year so they will bear watching. Nothing less than a State Championship will satisfy them. I ' agt One Hundred Forty-nine MAJVSFIELD— 24 KENNEDY VALVE— 25 The first game of the season was played at home against the Kennedy Valve team of Elmira, N. Y. Coach Marvin played all letter men in this game and they showed up well considering that it was the first game of the season. Mansfield ' s defeat was entirely due to their inability to register shots. The passing was clever and baffled the boys from Elmira who depended wholly upon long shots, which enabled them to win by one point. Lloyd and Kelly played well for Mansfield. MANSFIELD— .39 LOCK HAVEN— .5 The second game was played at Lock Haven. Lock Haven was no match for the Red and Black passers who soon ran up a score on them. Lock Haven was held to three points in the first half and kept without a field goal until the last minute of play, when a Lock Haven guard tossed the ball in the basket for their only two-pointer of the game. The Red and Blacks played an excellent game. MANSFIELD— 24 ST. THOMAS COLLEGE— 60 The next game of this trip was played at Scranton against the crack St. Thomas College outfit. Mansfield was outclassed and outplayed. The boys all played hard and well but to no avail. They were up against a more experienced team. This soon showed as the score continued to run higher and higher. St. Thomas had a fast working outfit and were going on all five. Mansfield played their usual hard and steady game but could not cope w th the dazzling and speedy passes and shots of the college boys. The boys were not disgraced, by any means, and showed up wonderfully well under such, conditions. Lloyd played his usual steady game and was high scorer for Mansfield. MANSFIELD— 32 STROUDSBURG— 35 Stroudsburg came to Mansfield expecting an easy win, but were disappointed as far as the easy part was concerned. Mansfield started the game with a rush and soon had what was thought to be a comfortable lead. Stroudsburg soon came to the conclusion that they had underestimated our team. They began to fight but were not allowed to go far. They kept the score about even, however. In the second half the score seesawed back and forth, first one in front, then the other. It was anyone ' s game. Secor, pivot man for Strouds, was the thorn in the side of Mansfield State. Time after time he would reach up with his six feet seven and tip the ball in the basket. This was what spelled defeat for Mansfield. Mansfield led until about two minutes before the end of the game when successive baskets placed Strouds in the lead which was never overcome. Pnge One Hundred Fifty MANSFIELD— 29 DICKINSON— 16 Dickinson came to Mansfield with expectations of winning and carrying home the bacon in revenge for the football defeat. They were tall, rangy men, but the Red and Blacks completely baffled them with their passes and time after time broke through their defense. The game was rather slow but was interesting. The jinx seemed to be broken at the expense of Dickinson as the score stood 29-16 in our favor as the last whistle was blown. This game marked the return of our former Captain and star Skeeter Brace, who showed up well. Miller was the oustanding star of the game. He gathered 19 points for high scorer of the evening. MANSFIELD— 35 ALUMNI— 11 The Alumni game is an annual affair during basketball season and the Old Grads almost always put up a good battle, for part of the game anyway. The Alumni held the Red and Blacks in the first quarter but were soon winded and were lost against the superior and faster playing of the under graduates. It was a game full of thrills, pants, and heaves, and was enjoyed by everyone. The Alumni are a good crowd of sports and it is always a pleasure to play against them. MANSFIELD— 16 BLOOMSBURG— 22 Due to a mix-up in the schedule Bloomsburg and Dickinson were slated to play Mansfield the same evening. This was overcome by having Bloomsburg play here in the afternoon and sending the Red and Blacks to Dickinson in the evening. Coach Marvin started a second string crew against Bloom, thinking to save the varsity for the evening contest. The first half ended with the score 10-9 in favor of Blooms- confidence and the game ended in favor of Bloomsburg. It was a poor exhibition of burg. Then the coach put in the varsity who completely lost themselves in over- basketball. Woodworth played well for Mansfield. MANSFIELD— 25 DICKINSON— 27 Mansfield journeyed to Dickinson for the second game of the day determined to avenge, to a certain extent, the defeat handed them by Bloomsburg. They were a rejuvenated team and led Dickinson throughout the entire contest. They played and passed better than Dickinson, but were unable to make their shots count. The boys all played a stellar brand of ball and we have only praise for them. Two games in a day is discouraging and the losing of both is still more so. Page One Hundred Fifty-one MANSFIELD— 71 LOCK HAVEN— 8 The return game with Lock Haven was played on the local gym floor and it resulted in a landslide for the Red and Blacks. It seemed as though Mansfield had at last struck its customary stride. If all games were played as this was played there would be little doubt as to the place Mansfield would have as State Champions of 1927 as they were in 1926. The first half ended 30-4, everyone on the team scoring at least one point. Woodwoith was high scorer in the game with 22 points. He was closely followed by Sorber with 20 and Brace with 16. MANSFIELD— 28 KEYSTONE— 2.5 The last game of the 1927 season was played at home against Keystone A.cademy. Keystone had the reputation of being a good team that always lost out by two or three points and lived up to their reputation. They had a fine working team and showed up well. Keystone led at the half 10-9 but Mansfield came back strongly and soon evened things up. Mansfield ' s attack was very different from Key- stone ' s in that Mansfield took thei ball up the floor with fast, short passes, while Keystone went more slowly and took more long shots. Brace was high scorer of the game with 13 points. This ended our basketball season and we now hit the trail for baseball. ■Page One Hundred Fifty-two FRANCES KELLY, Guard Kelly was elected captain of the 1926 basketball team. This is an honor for which few men can hope as all can not be captains. He has held down the guard position for two years with credit to himself and is also a consistent scorer. He shows nothing that is spectacular but is always a steady and heady player, doing the right thing at the right time. Kelly is an all around athlete playing football, basket- ball and baseball. His ambition is in baseball and we wish him all kinds of luck and success. HAROLD BRACE, Forward Skeeter, otherwise known as Joe College came back to us at the be- ginning of the second semester after attending- Illinois for a half year. Having two years of varsity experience he immediately assumed his old position at right forward. Here he starred as usual. Although he is small his speed, skill and experience place him among the first of our team. STANLEY ALLEN, Guard Stan came to us from Scranton Tech with a reputation as a good basket- ball man. He surely lived up to his reputation at Mansfield State and came through with a good record for the season. Stan is a little fellow but his heady playing and fighting spirit kept him going continually. This is Stan ' s first year at Mansfield State and we expect bigger things from him next year. LEO ALLIS, Guard Leo is a product of the Mansfield High. He was one of the fastest men on the squad and also one of the smallest. He has held down the guard position for two years and the way he kept opposing forwards from running up scores has been a great credit to him and to the team. Leo will be back next year and we expect to see him tear them up on the gridiron and also in the gymnasium. Best of luck, Leo. We are all for you. Page One Hundred Fifty-three WELDON WOODWORTH, Center Too much cannot be said about Our Weldon. He was the best center playing under the Red and Blaclv colors in nearly the last decade. This year he ranked second to none for high scoring honors. This is sure a credit to any player, especially one who helped to develop team work as he did. This is Woodie ' s first year at Mansfield and we are fortunate in having him vnth us again next year. Here is wishing you success in everything Woodie. Let ' s see some more fight. PAUL MILLER, Forward Paul ' s first year at varsity basketball was a good one. He was third in scoring with a season ' s total of 58 points. He was an all-around player on the squad, shifting from forward to center and sometimes to guard. He handled all these posi- tions remarkably well. Paul is one of the best forwards ever developed at Mansfield State and we are all pioud of him. He has the honor of being- captain-elect for next year. We know he will live up to this and fight his hardest to put Mansfield State where it belongs in the athletic world. ARTHUR SORBER, Forward Dead-Eye Dick in all his glory could never hold candles to Art when it came to shooting-. However our Speed Demon is not of. the same shooting type as Dead-Eye. Flash does his shooting on the basketball court. A peep at this coal miner as he stands in the center of the floor and sinks the ball repeatedly proves his ability. Making long shots, however, is not the only thing that this lad can do with deadly accuracy for he cuts and passes equally as well. These aualities earned him a position as forward on the varsity squad and he certainly was a great help to the team during the whole season. Page One Hiinilretl Fifty-lour r-iir.

True it is there are six of us who have been chosen, not because we wished it, but because the majority of the student body so desired that we lead them in the carrying out of this big problem of Self Government. So, therefore, the Student Council is only a medium through which the ideals of conduct, scholarship, and character, for which Mansfield State Normal stands, are transmitted to the students. This year instead of each council solving its problems alone we have had joint meetings and tried to work out the best plan for each one concerned. As a result we feel our plans met with great success in the building and the attainment of a better sense of responsibility on the part of each student. By co-operating thus with the Boys ' Student Council we have assumed the responsibility of directing the gymnasium socials as . well as the general atmosphere about the school. The special dances and parties given throughout the year afforded proof that we are interested in social development, as well as quiet halls at night. Much of the success of this year ' s work has been due to the interest and guidance of Dean Gerlach as well as the splendid spirit of co-operation shovioi by the girls. Many thanks to each one who has helped to make our school year one of success and happiness. Words can scarcely express our appreciation. Although we have not reached a perfect goal in Student Government we earnestly hope that the work will be carried on by our successors and we wish them good luck. — Evelyn Halstead. rHROUGH VARIOUS EFFORTS and through gradual development our Student Government has at last evolved into an organization which has nearly full control of the discipline and activities of our school life. In the Spring of each year the student body elects its officers for the Councils of the following year. These officers compose the Council which meets regularly. The Men ' s Council meets with the Girl ' s Council, once a week, to discuss any problems which may arise. The men attend a weekly meeting at which time they may make suggestions for the betterment of the school and its student body. These meetins are not monotonous or boresome as there is always something new and interesting arising. The purpose of the Men ' s Council is to impress upon those whoi seem to have a wrong conception of their relations to society, the desirability and necessity of obeying the laws which govern the place in which they live, and to do this as inoffensively as possible. We have worked hard to overcome former difficulties of the association and also to improve conditions of the school for men and women. Any success that we may have achieved in either field is due to the splendid co-operation of all men and our Dean, Mr. Balch. — Manford Lloyd. Page One Hundred Sixty-two y. w. c.

C. A. What a lot is said ini these, four symbols and how much it means to a many of us who have received so much help and benefit from it. We, here in Mansfield State Normal School, especially appreciate its existence. In the hustle and bustle of college life — with so many things to take up our time and our minds — we welcome the short hour on Thursday evenings when we may forget our troubles and gather together in the big reception room, with its pleasant informal atmosphere, to hear a word of hope. The inspiring messages refresh us and help us to take up our common tasks with a new enthusiasm and to enter into our pleasures with a greater vigor. We leave these meetings with a new hope in our heaits, a new light in our eyes, and a deeper meaning to our lives. The efforts of the Y. W. have been bent toward one goal — a Y Cabin back on Normal Hill among the pines. Isn ' t it an ideal? For this, we have put our heads together, planned, suggested, and carried out ideas to make money. A play, Seventh Heaven, played by the Better Players, Inc., of New York City, was one of our biggest and most successful schemes. A Silent Supper came in with its share of fun and profit, netting a thousand pennies. And. of course, the annual Japanese Bazaar was a boost socially and financially. Aside from these, the girls are gathering in small sums from their nightly food sales — for every little counts — and much is needed. Many suggestions for the interesting meetings and successful financial aff ' airs and social events were forwarded by those students who were sent to the Y. W. C. A. conference at Eagles Mere last summer. These girls came back enthused with the work, thrilled with anticipation, ready and willing to do all in their power to make the Y. W. at Mansfield State more interesting and more helpful to its members. It is the Christian spirit which is needed in the world more than anything else — and it is this which the Y tries to spread that the girls may go out into the world better prepared to teach, to find happiness, and to serve their fellowmen.

M. C. A. is a small part of a great institution. It is a member of the State Ycung Men ' s Christian Association of Pennsylvania; an Associate Member of the National Council of the Young Men ' s Christian Association of the United States, and of the International Young Men ' s Christian Association of North America. The purpose of this great Association is to creat e, extend and maintain through- out the school, community and the world a high standard of Christian character. Maintenance of this organization depends on men of outstanding character, keen understanding of the Christian basis of life, and the spiritual life of its members working with Christian forces in the churches. Here at Mansfield the spiritual life of the members is made strong by the stir- ing and uplifting addresses by men of prominence given each Thursday at our devotional meetings. The Y Gospel Team which has been making a name for itself the past few years is also a great aid toward this end. Not so much by the good it has done for others, and that is no small item, but for the great Chrisian experience the members of the team have obtained. Any man by making known his desire for service can become a part of this organization. Each year, for so many years back that it has become traditional, the Y holds various competitive games in the forms of tournaments. Beginning with a Pool Tourna- ment in the middle of the winter, interest is held through the gr-eat Checker Match and on to the Tennis Tournament which is held each spring. Among the winter season ' s social affairs is the Y informal dance. This year it was held January 22. This is one of the most enjoyable functions of the year. Soon after the cabinets are elected in the Spring an Officers ' Training Con- ference is held at one of the Colleges or Universities of the State. Officers of all Student Associations from all over the Commonwealth meet for a week-end of conferences and lectures planned to aid them in the execution of theii duties. This year the conference was held at Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pa. The Y benefit show put on this year as a vaudeville show is the principal method of raising funds to carry on the work of the Y. M. C. A. The success of this can be shown by the new material in the Hut and the reconstruction of the pool tables. — Harry A. Canfield, President.

Cure HE ABILITY to practice parliamentary procedure tactfully and efficiently is a distinct asset to the teaching profession. An implicit self-confidence in public appearance and among friends and acquaintances becomes one ' s in- dividuality and personality in the School of Life. An appreciation for the better type of literary practices, enriches the daily hum-drum of life and surely finds a pleasing outlet in the pedagogical field. Every student should become affilated with one or more organizations. This serves to add a touch of color to the school life and to better develop the individualities of the student. You, dissatisfied and restless student, you vi ho are lonely and find school here a bore and nuisance, allow me to present to you, the Athenaean Literary Society. Try it, if it is not what you want, get out! Nevertheless get into something — develop yourself — don ' t become a classroom drudge. Instead, become active and make your activity contagious so that someone else will introspect to see just what they are accomplishing. The meetings are held bi-weekly, usually about one and a half hours in length. The first part of the meeting is given over to a business discussion, followed by the regular program. These programs are varied in nature, corresponding to the purpose and aims of the society. The name Athenaean should become of real significance to every member and it is only with the honest, sacrificial co-operation of every Athenaean that this society exists today. Remember Life is what we make it. What we receive is always reckoned on that which we give. The word Athenaean means to you, oniy that as measured by what you have given to it. A member of this society is made to feel that he is an essential. Co-operation is, after all, the secret of humanity. — Casper McClelland.

The degree to which we are successful in this attempt depends largely upon proper choice of environment. To cope with this natural situation and to provide expression for varied talent, literary societies welcome those interested. The Emersonian Society has progressed this year with two definite policies in mind — to improve the meetings and to support the school publication, The Flashlight. In each, members will verify the success of it. In the former, it is true, meetings have given way to an approved and mode n change in type. Making our meetings more social and varied in nature has not only regulated attendance but has also increased the membership to its capacity. We agree here that meetings of this type in order that they may measure up to present day conventions may be social, yet literary; entei ' taining, instructive and practical; but to a lesser degree, formal. As to the paper we have co-operated with the other society of the school in its publication. Glancing back over the activities of the past year, members and visitors will recall some of the finest meetings. Faithful committees have been responsible for debates, mock trials, spelling bees, short plays, readings, pantomimes, music and public speaking. In these many dormant abilities of students have come to the attention of fellow membership. xhe fire is burning low, now. Just a short while and it will have gone out. Give out! Yes, and there are some of us going out with it. Soon we must get together our trappings and start our pack mules up the steep path that may lead to many things. We thank our guide for his faith- fulness to us; and with him and the new officers of 1927-28, we leave burning coals. — Earle L. Bidlack. Page One Hundred Seventy-three A square deal for the country child. ( ' ' ' HE RURBAN CLUB was org-anized in March, 1923, from which time it has grown under the able direction of Miss Clai-a Winans, to be one of the school ' s strongest organizations. The club has very definite, objectives, some of which are: to make a careful study of the country life movement; to develop in its members a sense of personal responsibility in regard, to country life and its betterment; and to create a co-operative spirit of teacher service. The club aims each year to complete some one project. It has already three traveling libraries rendering service in rural schools. Our motto is A square deal for the country child. Meetings of the club are held, tvrice each month and they are of a social and literary nature. They are carefully planned in order to suggest to the members practical programs which may be used by them in community and rural work. Each year the club presents a play and the money received is used to help with the project. The project for this year is another traveling library and constructive plans for a modern one-room school. As the Seniors leave the club we entrust the success of our present organiza- tion to the Juniors and new members who will step into our places. We hope that they will renew their interest in the club — that they will again inform themselves of its purposes and that they will give their best to further its development. —Charles W. DeWitt.

( Ir RUE TO TRADITION this year ' s Rurban Club play, Kindling the Hearth Fires, maintained the high standard aimed at by the club in their annual production. Essentially rural in character the play presented many interest- ing phases of country problems. Sound practice, which makes the farmer ' s life brighter and more cheerful, dramatically, answers the question of keeping the younger generation on the old homestead. No longer can the lure of city life entice the country ' s greatest asset, youth, from the soil. Opportunities opened in the last few decades equal those of the city — opportunities surrounded by a richness of environ- ment with which the city can not compete. Such was the theme of the play. The excellence of the plot, coupled with co-operation of the cast, produced a dramatic work worthy of the Rurban Club. Pitgc One Hundr ' :il Seventy-six President J.

During the first semester the meetings were devoted to practical work. For the entire semester members worked on many different articles, such as gesso plaques, scrap books, desk blotters, shoe trees, coat hangers, vases and book ends, which were sold at the Art Club booth in the Y.

We have passed into the age of happy, healthy girls. We are enjoying the things that make life worth while. This is where we surpass the girls of yesterday. The Athletic Club, as eveiyone knows, is one of the leading organizations of the school. Perhaps no other organization does as much as this one toward instilling into the hearts of the young girls of this institution those ideals which contribute toward the higher plan of womenkind. The pui-pose of the Girls ' Athletic Club is to further athletics, to inculcate a spirit of good sportsmanship, and to support the school spirit here. A number of requirements are necessary before a Senior receives an M. A tennis tournament and a swimming meet are held every Spring. — Veronica D ' Donnell. Page One Hundred Seventy-seven M. Clul OFFICERS President Grover Worthington Vice President Russell Alden Secretary Gus Garello Treasurer Clinton Smith rHE M CLUB is made up of athletes who have earned the official M of the school in any of the major sports, namely football, basketball, baseball and track. This club was organized in 1922. Mr. Jones, athletic director at that time was its originator. The charter members of the club consisted of eight men who had earned a letter in one of the major spoi ts at that time. All ex-letter men automatically became honorary members. Since that time the club has grown very rapidly until now there are twenty-eight active members in school. Some of the annual functions of the club are the M Club dance, initiation of new members, and the presentation of letters and gold footballs to men ' wno deserve such honor and recognition. A wearer of a letter or gold football has some- thing of which to be proud, and above all has the lasting memory of the athletic games in which he has participated. The purpose of the club is three-fold: to promote general athletic welfare in the school; to develop in its members a conscious sense of personal responsibility in school and athletic betterment; to bring a sense of appreciation of the value of athletics in building an individual or group physically, mentally and morally strong. The only method of financing this organization is by means of a Tag Day. Our tag day this year was on Parents ' Day and was a huge success. We wish to thank the school and parents who helped support us at that time. — Grover Worthington. OFFICERS President Kathryn Grover Secretary Margaret Malone Treasurer Velma Edminster Faculty Advisor. .Miss Elizabeth Belknap rHE HIKING CLUB initiated about eighty Juniors this year. Instead of reorganizing into a Junior and Senior Club this year it remained one large club. The work of the Hiking Club is easily recognized by its name. Seniors who hike 250 miles during the year are awarded an M on a black background with an H placed above the M . Juniors who hike 250 miles are awarded a numeral. Business and social meetings are held at the club house every two weeks. When we speak of ideals in connection with the Hiking Club we do not desire to give the false impression that this social organization is a hum-drum. Those ideals are instilled in a skillful manner by which social meetings as well as strictly business meetings have an equal share of time and attention. You who have attended those social functions know that the enjoyment or fun received at them is of the finest nature. — Phyllis Ungard.

Some of its musical directors have been nationally famous. Beginning with the year 1921, Pennsylvania authorized a new course in Music Supervision in three of its State Normal schools, Mansfield being one of the three. Dr. Hollis Uann, of Cornell University, was, this same year, made State Director of Music and the three year course, which has since been in force, was arranged by him. This year will be a red letter year in the history of this department for the old three year course has been extended to four with the degree Bachelor of Science in Public School Music. Already we have graduated one degree student. Miss Ruth Kohler, whose first musical opus, a sonata after the old classical form was recently played by our symphony orchestra under Miss Kohler ' s direction — Dr. Butler gracious- ly giving over his baton to Miss Kohler for the occasion. Students graduating from this department have all been most satisfactorily placed in positions ranging from thirteen to eighteen hundred dollars a year. In every instance they have had a substantal increase in salary for each year of service, which in itself speaks for the work done in the department. For our practice teaching laboratory we have the entire Mansfield borough school system and that of Covington. Every student must have two years of practice teaching and in addition to the academic content of the course four years of piano and Paf;e One Hundred Eighty-two voice, three of stringed instruments, one in trass and reeds and play at least one year in band and orchestra. This enables us to turn out an especially well prepared teaching product. Among the musical activities of the school are three fine choral societies — the Orpheus Club of forty male voices, the Cecelians, consisting of one hundred ladies voices, and the Vesper Choir of one hundred mixed voices. Th en we have both a ladies and a male quartet. A fine orchestra of fifty-five players, most of whom are taking the work in Music Supervison, present many fine programs during the year, both in the school and surrounding towns. Each morning this organizaton plays for chapel exercises. We have three bands — a concert band of twenty-five members who give many concerts, a junior band of forty, made up principally of supei-visors who are studying band instruments, and a grade band of twenty-five. The two latter organiza- tions make a fine nucleus for future work. The course has seventy-six hours of music content, thirty-three of education, eight of English, four of physical training and fifteen hours in an elective field, thus making the course one of the most all round in the country. The teaching personnel is as follows: Mrs. Grace Steadman, Dean. Methods and General Supervision. Dr. Will George Butler, Stringed Instruments, Orchestra, Composition. John F. Myers, Band, Band Instruments and Music History. Marjorie Brooks, Theory and Harmony. Mrs. Marjorie Hartman, Training School Music Critic. Louise Vroman, Sight Reading, Eurythmics, Piano Methods. Cora Atwater, Contralto, Voice. Elsie Perkins, Soprano, Voice. Margaret Payne, Piano. Rachel Hoole, Piano. Manderville Bartle, Assistant Violin Instructor.

The public schools building for America a nation of musicians. Musical training in the public schools is being organized, extended and developed more than any other subje:t and it is predicted Am.erica will soon be the lead ' ng nation of the world in the realm of music. Next to Divinity no art is comparable to music. — Luther. The Music Supervisors ' Club, as the name signifies, consists of all the students taking the Music Supervisors ' course of study. The sponsors, Mrs. Stead- man and Mr. Myers, very often give talks in the field of music, lending a helping hand in all emergencies that confront the students in their work. They endeavor to give a training that will prepare the future supervisor in all lines. The corresponding-secretaiy communicates with former graduates from the music course, requesting them to present, in detail, some of the difi ' icult situations encountered in their supervising work. Knowing their problems we, as student-super- visors, can better fit ourselves for the work ahead of us. To be truly efficient, the supervisor must know how to organize and conduct bands, orchestras, glee clubs and choruses and supervise the work of the grade teacher in music. The object of this club is to teach through these direct experiences, how to cope with these problems so that when we go out for ourselves we may do our work with fewer mis- takes and a greater degree of perfection. — Royal Sherman. Page One Hundred Eighty-five iramattrs Page One Hundred Eighty-eight CAST, THE POT BOILERS The State Department of Public Instruction thought it sufficiently worth while to give credit to those who do prescribed work. The aim of the society is not to develop the stage profession but to help the prospective teacher to correlate his abilities to the demands of education and future life; to develop the literary and dramatic appreciation that lies latent in all people; to give self-expression a prominent place in one ' s life. The foremost production of the Masquers this year was Clarence. It was one of the best plays ever produced here, and was an entire success in management, coaching, acting and production. The first production of the year was The Pot Boilers, which was given as part of the entertainment for Parents ' Day. All the world ' s a stage and all the men and women merely players, has been held continuously in front of the society. The members have learned in some degree, to become a part of life ' s drama and to act their part in the best manner possible. The work done and experience gained through this organization will never be regretted and the benefits derived will ever be a practical medium of reference in whatever branch of the world ' s work one specializes. — Paul Miller. Page One Hundred Eighty-nine Page One Hurnhed Ninety Art A RT IS THE EXPRESSION of the soul. Our highest enjoyment is in the -- interpretation of our emotions in the form of art. Is there a higher degree - - of satisfaction than the construction of a bit of scenery from nature by our original interpretation of it? Joy and beauty are necessary in human lives, strength and color are necessary in the portrayal of nature. With the fusion of the art of human beings and the artistic beauty of nature nothing can bring more joy and happiness to the artist. Consciousness of art is beginning to be awakened in the school, college and university. It can be called an aw akening of the younger generation. They realize the povi er and massiveness of the modern structures, they see the strength of the cui-ves and lines as they harmonize to create this structural age of speed. The world needs harmony whei ' ever art can produce it. As the individual is the sum total of his heredity and his experiences, so is self-expression, in whatever form it may take, the evidence of such combined influ- ences. Not too earnestly, then, can be urged the practice of absoi ' ption and assimila- tion of beauty everywhere, in line, dark and light color, whether of sea or sky. Oriental I ' ug or vase, nature, historic ornament, the geometric — all are grist to the mill of the true observer and genuine lover of beauty. Page One Hundred Ninety-two Thy life to mend, This Book attend. EFORE ME lies a dilapidated little book, about three and three-quarters inches long, and three and a half wide. Its pages are worn and stained; its front cover of boards, from which the blue paper, once pasted over the wood, has disappeared, is broken into several pieces. The back cover consists of one small fragment of board to which the blue paper, now faded to an ugly gray, still clings. A strip of soiled, worn leather, clumsily stitched by hand, forms the back. It is a sorry looking little volume, and yet it is, perhaps, the choicest book in the Normal School Library, for it bears on its title page these words so significant to many generations of Americans: THE NEW ENGLAND PRIMER Improved For the More Easy Attaining the True Reading of English To Which is Added The Assembly of Divines Catechism. The place of publication is Middletown; the date is 1811. This is a copy of the most famous textbook ever published in America; — THE reading book of young Americans for more than a hundred years; a best-seller to the extent of more than three millions of copies. The copy before us, though genuine and unique in interest, is not so old as to have rare book value. The date of the first edition is not certain, but 1690 is probably correct. No seventeenth century copy now exists; the oldest perfect edition bears the date 1735. It is said that this copy was sold by its owner for $2,500. The New England Frimer was a primer in the old sense of the word : it presented the rudiments not only of reading, but of religion also. How quaint its contents to a modern eye: the rhymed alphabetical couplets beginning, In Adam ' s fall, we sinned all ; the queer indistinct little pictures; the Moral Precepts ; Duty of Children towards their Parents ; the grim picture and account of the martyrdom of the Reverend John Rogers, who died courageously for the gospel of Jesus Christ ; and, no doubt most important of all in the eyes of parents and teachers, the redoubt- able Shorter Catechism, which was called by Cotton Mather, a little watering pot to shed good lessons. Poor little Puritans who committed to memory its 107 questions and answers and watered them with their tears! One looks with mingled feelings on the little book — the perfect expression of Puritan ideals for the education of young children. It is so easy to compare it unfavorably with the attractive, pedagogically correct reading books of today. Its contents are unsuitable for children: the material is too sternly religious, too much concerned with death, too didactically moral. And yet there breathes from its faded pages a spirit of power, dignity, and reverence. At least, the creators of this book knew what they believed, believed it with all their force, and taught their children the same. Other times, other manners, but here is, for all its shabby dress, a book which was a mighty influence in early American life and thought. My book and Heart Shall never part. Page One Hundred Ninely-juur Home Economics (( f OOKYiHY means the knowledge of Medea and of Circe and of Helen and the Queen of Sheba. It means the knowledge of all herbs and fruits and balms j and spices, and all that is healing and sweet in the fields and groves and savory in meats. It means carefulness and inventiveness and willingness and readiness of appliances. It means the economy of your grandmothers and the sciences of the modern chemist; it means much testing and no wasting; it means English thorough- ness and Fiench art and Arabian hospitality; and, in fine, it means that you are to be perfectly and always ladies — loaf givers. — Ruskin. Our creed: Home Economics stands for: The ideal home life today unhampered by the traditions of the past, The utilization of the resources of modern science to improve the home life. The freedom of the home from the dominance of things and their due subordination to ideals, That rimplicity in material surroundings which will free the spirit for the more important and permanent interests of the home and of society. —Ellen H. Richards (1842-1911). It was three short years ago when we, the class of 1927, entered the friendly portals of Mansfield State Normal School. We entered right into hai ' d work from the first, but along with it all we formed many new acquaintances and a few fast friends. We were brought in contact with a new social life, which many of us had not known before. We owe it all to you — dear Normal. We felt very proud this year when our school was officially granted the privilege of awarding degrees to fourth year graduates in Home Economics. We ■were hoping that the new Junior High would be completed in 1927, so we could have one year in the new building. We were a little disappointed, but we are glad to state that it is started and those who come after us can enjoy the benefit of teaching there. Our course offers instruction in cookery, clothing, millinery, practical house- keeping and many related subjects. During our third year we go down to the practice house for six weeks and in this way put our knowledge to the test. We feel very fortunate indeed in having as our Supervisor Miss Lu Hartman, who this year was elected president of the State Home Economics Association. Excellent instruction is given in clothing and millinery by Miss Sadie Smith, who is very patient with us during our trials in making coats and hats. Under the super- vision of Miss Maryon Farrer all the members of the course have received information and practical experience in cookery and related subjects. Our girls are not only fitted for teaching, but for homemaking as well. We may live without poetry, music and ait. We may live without conscience and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. Page One Hundred Ninety-aix Dotnicilian Club OFFICERS President Orla Van Campen Vice President Martha Snyder Treasurer May Sanders Secretary Elizabeth Glockler rHE DOMICILIAN CLUB was organized by the Home Economics girls early in the fall of 1925. The purpose of the club is two-fold: to develop initiative and individuality in its members; by the activity of the club to develop a sincere appreciation, in our fellow students as well as members of the club, of the value of Home Economics in the great field of education. The club meets once each month. This year the time has been well consumed in the carrying out of various interesting projects as well as the hearing of educational reports in the meetings. The club has become affiliated with the American Home Economics Association. Our main project of the year was to earn money by selling hot dogs and sandwiches that we might prepare and serve a chicken dinner to our most worthy and successful football men. We were greatly rewarded for our efforts,. in that the fellows showed their appreciation by a short performance in chapel the morning following the dinner. Another project which is now under way is the earning of money that pictures and books may be purchased for the cottage. We sincerely hope that the success of the club will continue to increase in the coming year. — Evelyn M. Halstead. Page One Hundred Ninety-seven THE TRAINING SCHOOL TrainifiE School ONE OF THE MOST important phases that enters into our education at Mansfield Normal has been our experience in the Training School. The new Principal, George Austin Retan, has followed in the footsteps of his father, E. A. Retan, who retired at the close of school last year. He is continuing the good work of making the Training Sthool a success both for training teachers and teaching children. We, the graduates of 1927, appreciate his kindness in directing and advising us in the teaching profession. We could not possibly have had a better opportunity to study or to come into contact with children as in our teaching assignments, observations, and demonstrations. We have acquired much valuable knowledge concerning children, their needs and desires. The child no longer feels himself a prisoner. Each of his needs is anticipated and filled that it may benefit him in the best possible manner. Our teaching has been guided — been made to mean more to us — because of the direction of eff icient supervisors. This year because of the congestion in the Training School the facilities for training teachers have been increased. The Wellsboro schools have been included as part of the Tiaining School. Though this is a new idea it has proved most successful. We, who have taught in Wellsboro, are grateful to the supervisors and principal there. Truly, it is only proper that we have something in our annual as a remem- brance of the training we received. We appreciate the Training School v here we wont as iiutrained teachers to begin the practice of our profession. — Frances B. Collins. Page One Hundred Ninety-eight Junior High School rHE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL was organized in the Fall of 1920 with dual objectives: it aimed to provide more definitely for the needs of the adolescent of the community; and it hoped to afford an opportunity to the Normal students of Group III to catch the spirit and enthusiasm so necessary to successful teaching in this transition period in every child ' s life. The Junior High School has succeeded in attaining its objectives to a degree altogether encouraging. We wish to pay tribute to our Principal, Dr. William R. Straughn, who has a very large part in its growth and success. Due chiefly to his efl ' orts we have now under construction a fine two hundred thousand dollar Junior High School building. Mr. Webster, our Junior High School Principal, is author of the prediction, No school system will ever receive more sympathetic, enthusiastic service from the people who have taught in our Junior High School as student teachers. We appre- ciate such a compliment from one who has had a large share in our training. We wish for the Junior High School a lasting and increasing success. —Robert E. Merrill. %. ! ; , 1 t H B IbbI Ik ! -- iH I HH i H m -- ' ' ' ■ H t T] H I B mim Page One Hundred Ninety-nine The Flashli; EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief J.

Dyer ' h. iNETEEN TWENTY SEVEN ' S Flashlight has proven in no uncertain _ J terms its worth and value as tiue representatitves of Mansfield ' s myi-iad activities and recordings. Confronted with the knowledge that a weekly paper had never been attempted and possessing no expeiienced newspaper writers, the task seemed almost an impossibility. The first difficulty was surmounted when the students responded nobly to an appeal for subsci ' ibers to the extent of five hundred. Mansfield ' s merchants advanced the remainder of the financial backing almost one hundred percent. The Flashlight has not been dependent on any organization or benefit fund since its beginning, relying solely on the initial campaign to carry it through — this has been done successfully. Using as a basis nineteen twenty six ' s bi-weekly sheet, edited by an able and highly efficient staff, the present board has placed the weekly plan of the newspaper within the realm of possibility. An exchange has been established, clubs have been faithfully represented, news events of major and minor importance have been accu- rately and adequately pictured, social life played a prominent part, business adminis- tration in relation to the student was clearly explained, and last, but by far the most vauable, sports of the school in all major branches were given an unlimited amount of space. This makes possible the indelible preservation of the records of 1927. The staff of the Flashlight deserves unlimited credit for the hard, inval- uable work put forth on this infant publication. It has been made possible through their efforts to obtain an insight on school affairs, and has made Mansfield activities well known at other similar institutions in and out of the state. Let ' s make next year ' s publication a still larger achievement and contribute still more to the progress of the Little Town on the Hill.

Few realize this and give them the credit they deserve. Any time a Gym dance is wanted, who is the first person of whom we think ? Danny, of course. For three years this organization has given of its best to make our Gym socials a success. Always willing, always on the job, always peppy. The old adage We are never appreciated until we are gone might well be applied in this connection. Page Two Hundred Four M -x O ' d 1 The Frosh Ftolic Ij HE ANNUAL FRESHMAN DANCE was held in the gymnasium on the after- noon of Febiuary 12. Much preparation had been made and members of the class and of the school were looking forward to this great event. Things that are anticipated for a long time are not apt to live up to the expectations of the antici- pators, but let it be remembered that the Freshman dance, in the year nineteen hundred twenty-seven, exceeded the most optimistic prophecies. The Red and Black Serenaders, a ten-piece school orchestra, furnished the music for the event. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated from one end to the other, not a single spot being left uncovered. The committee decorated in class colors, royal blue and silver gray. The ceiling was completely covered with a blue and gray latticework of crepe paper, while balloons of the same color hung from one end to the other. Every post was covered with blue and gray flowers, while between them were streamers of crepe paper of the same color. The south end of the room was decorated in red and black to carry out the name of the famous orchestra. The Frolic was a grand success, thanks to the class off ' icers and committees. May the Fl-eshman classes following the one of 1927 do as well. — D. H. B. ( 1 KINGS OF BEAUTY and real pleasure events are rare — so rare that when a striking occasion such as the Sophomore Hop was presented to the students and visitors, it carried the revelers by storm. The Sophomores well deserve the slogan, Midget in numbers, but g-iants in organization and power. In the 1927 Hop we have proof of this maxim. Fiom the point of experience it seems to have outstripped even this excellent motto. Everything blended perfectly; beautiful and harmonious syncopation of music; delectable refreshments; er.thusiasm at its apex; a marvelous decoration scheme of orange, purple and yellow, with potted plants set about the spacious Gym, and an unusual tea garden effect at the lower end. Concomitant with these were the placing of the playing platform in the center of the hall, and the splendid music dispensed from the odd point of vantage. Congiatulations to the officers, Mr. Brooks and Mrs. McKinney cannot be too generous, and the standards set by the 1927 Sophomores will be the high-water mark for years to come. — J. Brit Davis. Page Two Hundred Five y. M. a A, Dance ON THE NIGHT of January 22 the annual Y dance was held in the Y hut. The hut was colorfully decorated in blue and white. At one end in an alcove sat the musicians, who, in this case, happened to be the Red and Black Serenaders. It was a more or less proper and dignified dance until refreshment time. The refreshments consisted of a light lunch of sandwiches, cookies and ice cream. A Paul Jones was then suggested and Danny Holleran presided as caller. It did not take long to mix the crowd and get things going along in a peppy fashion, causing the dance to develop into a merry party. One of the features of the affair was an elimination dance. All couples were given numbers and Brit Davis called them. The survivors were Flash Sorber and Winifred Kofed. All the Y members and their guests were in the midst of enjoying themselves when the heartless Dean called time. The Y. M. C. A. boys are a peppy lot and sure did put on a peppy dance. First M Club Dance JT WAS A BEAUTIFUL Winter ' s evening. Everyone was hustling and bustling around as if the great event of the year was at hand. But, why shouldn ' t they? It was the night of the M Club dance, the one big night of 1926-27. The gym was decorated like an English Castle at the time of a royal wedding ' and that music — it was so hot we had to take down some of the decorations to keep them from burning. Much credit must be given the M Club, Mrs. McKinney, Mr. Brooks and others who made our dance such a huge success, and it is hoped that the M Club dances in the years to follow will be as nice as ours of 1926-27. — Daniel Peter Holleran. Private M Club Dance (mijl HE M CLUB held a second dance this year. Only members of the club were present with their lady friends. About thirty-five couples attended and enjoyed dancing to music furnished by the Red and Black Serenaders. The hall was extensively decorated with the school colors, Red and Black. Confetti, streamers, and various novelties were distributed during the dancing. Delicious re- freshments were served at 11:30 o ' clock, followed by more dancing and then all departed at 12 o ' clock, everyone extending hearty congratulations to the dance and refreshment committee composed of Manford Lloyd and Clarence Lord. rHE CROWNING EVENT of Mansfield State ' s social season was the Senior Prom held in the Gymnasium on April 30, just one month before the gradua- tion. This event is always anticipated with a great deal of delight for it is at this time that the outgoing class leaves nothing undone to give the very best possible in the form of a dance. The gymnasium was decorated more beautifully than ever before. The Red and Black Serenaders furnished music for dancing. Favors were distributed during the evening and delicious refreshments were servd. The committee should be proud of the work they have accomplished for it was, without a doubt, the greatest success this year. Page Two Hundred Six The Fakirs ' Frolic lUY YOUR TICKETS! Right this way! Don ' t miss the big show! Old folks, young folks, everybody come! These were the mingled cries of the professional fakirs along the great midway in Alumni Hall. Such thrilling adventures as exploring a Pirate ' s Den, a Haunted House and the revealing of one ' s past, present and future by charming palmists, namely, Miss Gerlach and Mrs. McCormick, then claimed our attention. We, the curious, were then lured to the Beauty Contest, a fishpond and a branch of that well-known Barnum and Bailey Circus. The Fashion Show, exhibited in the salon of Madame Goldini, was the crown- ing event of the evening. The charming mannequins displayed their fall styles under lights of various hues. The Music Supervisors, representing the three Graces and nine Muses tripped it gaily on the light fantastic. Between these two bits of grace we enjoyed the syncopated rhythm of the Red and Black Seienaders. Then, as the festive show ended, our feet naturally led us to the Gym where the Red and Blacks did their stuff. Many visits were made to the Japanese tea room during the dance. Tired but happy at ten o ' clock we considered ourselves duly faked for another year. The proceeds from the Carnival were used for social functions during the year. — K. L. C. rHE OPERA to be produced this year is lolanthe. It is a Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera that is especially beautiful because of its elaborate scenery. For some time the principals and chorus, directed by Mrs. Steadman and Mrs. Hartman, have been hard at work and according to all indications the 1927 production should be a decided success. The excellent cast consists of Euleta Bunnell, Mary Camp, Isabel Sairs, Anna Krutzeck, Henrietta Muchler, Willard Ackley, Russell Alden, Leon Payne, E. P. Huntington and Allan Gillett. The chorus is made up of thirty-two voices. As usual there will be two regular productions with a dress rehearsal for the underclassmen who leave before the first performance. Page Tivo Hundred Seven T he Entettainment Coufse THE SWISS BELL RINGERS Edgar C. Raine, known throughout the lecturing clique as the world ' s best authority on Alaska, was with us December 8, in Alumni Hall. His lecture was called The Frontier Wonderland of the World. He brought with him over one hundred fifty views of the land of the midnight sun. His talk was based on these slides in an interesting and clever fashion which gave us an exceptional opportunity to enjoy an evening in Alaska. EDGAR C. RAINE The Swiss Bell Ringers lived up to their reputation as one of the best high class entertainment companies on the road when they appeared on the local stage January 15. Their program was something new to us. Its variety of well selected solos, quartet and bell numbers made it a delig.itful and entertaining affair. The entire student body was high in its praise of the skillful way in which the team handled the great number of bells used in the various selections. We are all waiting for another opportunity to hear this unique company. BRAJJCH RICKEY Branch Rickey, an exponent of clean sportsmanship, appeared on the lecture platform at Mansfield State Friday evening, January 28. This famous athlete and owner of the famous Cardinals gave us a great talk and as one fellow said, He isn ' t much of an orator but he said some things worth remembering. Those who were fortunate enough to hear Mr. Rickey ' s speech will not regret or forget. Give yourself to your purpose one hundred per cent, and let the results take care of themselves. JESS PUGH Jess Pugh, the widely known fun specialist extraordinary, made his scheduled appearance at our auditorium, Friday evening, March 16. This notable entertainer kept us in an uproar of laughter throughout the entire evening with his wealth of comedy sketches and masterpieces of well acted humor. Although Mr. Pugh is a spontaneous fun maker he is, at the same time, an able interpreter of the best in serious literature. Page Two Hundred Eight THE SHOW-OFF The Show-Off, an uproarious comedy success, with an all star New York cast, was presented at the Normal February 26 to a packed house. The whole thing- was exciting from start to finish. Every one was royally entertained and amused. Even the Profs smiled at the comical situations Carnation Willie brought about while trying to avoid work. WEYLAND ECHOLS On March 11, in Alumni Hall, Weyland Echols lived up to all advance notices and provided a high standard of classical vocal selections. The whole progiam was received enthusiastically by the audience and Mr. Echols was recalled for many encores, dividing his applause with his accompanist, Miss Brooks of the Normal faculty. The varied groupings of his recitals were taken from French, Italian, German, Russian, and English composers and in the different renditions Mr. Echols commanded perfect accent in all the languages. We are very fortunate in having had Weyland Echols with us, a s he is considered one of the leading tenors of the youthful group of coming artists. GLENN L. MORRIS The electrical demonstration, Monday evening, March 14, by Glenn L. Morris,. proved to be one of the most interesting, instructive and incidentally amusing lectures of the year. Mr. Morris ' confined himself entirely to the field of electricity, employing for this purpose many pieces of apparatus, the array of which covered the entire stage. Mr. Morris called for volunteers to assist him. Master Ackley, a decidedly small one, offered his services. A number of bewildering experiences failed to unnerve him. Other boys responded to the call until six in all graced the stago as possible victims. Bennett Strait and Art Sorber lent a hand. The latter, as usual, injected 1he comedy. After disclosing some of the astonishing possibilities of radio in the future, Mr. Morris lectured briefly on the hoiTors of future wars. The money, he said, used to maintain armies and navies and to wage war, if turned to fcficeful rurtuit-- would make the nations more prosperous and life more worth living.

No attempt has been made at the presentation of extended biographies, but merely a statement is given as to the whereabouts and doings of former students. The task of gathering data of the older graduates was particularly difficult, owing ' to the fact that no class histories were preserved. Uniform coui ' tesy is extended to those who replied to letters of inquiry concerning themselv es and former classmates. Some mistakes will doubtlessly be discovered in some of the sketches, due to the fact that many failed to furnish the necessary data and that much of the information had to be accepted at second hand. It is well to note that Mansfield ' s sons and daughters have played important roles in all of the world ' s affairs: the state, church, business and all of the professions. We find outstanding alumni, who, during; their brief time at Mansfield Normal ab- sorbed those high moral ideals, those sound principles of loyalty and decency, and above all a consideration of the rights and interests of others. These qualities are the very foundation of our democracy and the present success of our alumni in their various fields of endeavor can be traced back to the valuable training which they received at their Alma Mater. One year ago Giffoi ' d Pinchot, who was then holding the responsible position of Governor of Pennsylvania, paid a fine tribute to Mansfield Normal in his address, given in Alumni Hall. He said that more former students from this institution were in his cabinet than from any other school. The men to whom he referred were: George W. Woodruff, Attorney General; Hon. Joseph J. Walsh, Chief of the Bureau of Mines; Hon. William D. Ainey, Chairman of the Public Service Commission; Hon. Peter Cameron, Banking Commissioner, and Charles F.
