The reason “WHY” people pay more i- to have the right Glasses to fit to their eyes, because they know the wrong glasses are injurious. To get fir � t quality lenses and frames, they get atisfaction and comfort, individuality and strength. The Gla� .e we fit meet all these requirements, and that is the logical reason why people come to I'S for GLASSES. DO YOU ? IV BOYD OPTICAL CO. 20 East Orange St., Lancaster, Pa.

STRAUGHN, Head or Department of English of Millersville Normal School THIS “TOUCHSTONE” Is Respectfully Dedicated. W. R. Straughn WILLIAM Ringgold Straughn was born April 23, 1 MS2, in Mardella Springs. Wicomico County, Maryland He is the son of Reverend John Lee Straughn, a Methodist minister, well-known in Delaware. Maryland and Virginia. Mr. Straughn's home is at present in Roland Park, Baltimore. He received his early education in the public schools of Mar land and Delaware, later entering Baltimore City College, from which he graduated with honors in 1902. From City College he entered Johns Hopkins University from which institution he graduated in 1905 The following year he took post-graduate work at Hopkins, leaving the University to accept the position of Professor of Knglish at the Millersville State Normal School. In 1908 he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Kansas City University. Mr. Straughn is a student. He was an honor” man at the City College, completing the five-year course in three years. He held a scholarship during his entire course at Hopkins. While at College and University, he was not only an excellent student, but was also quite prominent in athletics. He took a keen interest in foot ball, base ball, lacrosse, track and tennis. Although a good athlete, however, he did not allow his athletics to interfere with his work. Since coming to Millersville Mr. Straughn has continued to be “among the boys” by taking part in base ball and basket ball, and in aiding in coaching the foot ball teams. Mr. Straughn took a prominent part in debate, both at College and University. He won the collegiate medal at Baltimore City 6 College. At Hopkins he was a member of the ’Varsity debating team during his entire course, and his name appears on the tablets of McCoy Hall as one of the prize winners in debate at Hopkins. liver since he was 15 years old Mr. Stranghn has been interested in newspaper work. I11 connection with his work at College and University he devoted part of his time as a reporter. He served through every j osition from office boy on a country journal to editor on one of the greatest dailies published in the South. It is very interesting to hear Mr. Stranghn tell of his experiences in his newspaper work. Johns Hopkins University fosters the spirit of personal contact between professors and students. In this way Mr. Stranghn came to us. Among his best friends at the University were numbered l r. Ira Remsen, President of Hopkins: Dr. Uilder-sleeve, Dr. Hollander and Dr. Willoughby. These men are among the most prominent men in the world in the departments which they represent. Mr. Stranghn is a member of the American Political Science Association, of the Johns Hopkins Club, and of a number of literary organizations. He is a contributor to magazines, both of poetry and prose. He is a lecturer at institutes and commencements. Mr. Stranghn has a very pleasant disposition, and without doubt is one of the best-liked instructors at this school. He is indeed almost like one of the boys, and the high esteem in which he is held is plainly shown by the manner in which the boys obey him on the halls. OUCHSTO Brfisi 51mow N.

Boyle Iona Holland EthelS.Schrack THK TOI CHSTONK HOARD Editorials j j THK “TorciisTONK, formerly published as “The Mil-lersvillian, makes its first appearance tin's year under the new name. For many years the school's quarterly publication was known as “ The Normal Journal.” but the school recently changed the name to The Millersvillian. For this reason the Senior Class changed the name of its publication from “The Millersvillian” to 1 TorciisTONK.” The Board in beginning their duties on this publication felt the responsibility and the weight of the task they had before them. And. despite the fact that tlie publication is usually a failure financially, they immediately got down to hard, earnest work, and laid their plans to increase the size of the book, and make it a better publication in general than that which usually appears. And so ns a result of these efforts we are now glad to announce that all our expectations have been fully realized, and from our point of view the book has been a literary and financial success. Not alone would we attribute this success to ourselves, but we also take great pleasure in thanking most earnestly all those who in any way contributed toward the publication, as this lias had much to do in helping to make it a success. The great harmony which prevails in our class, together with the earnestness with which the business people entered into our plans, and so graciously helped us out by the liberal contributions, is largely responsible for it all. 10 It is grit and grip that conquer success, not alone the vigor with which one takes hold of his tasks, but also the determination with which he holds on after he has taken hold. There is no disgrace in falling if you have done your best, and if you are still facing toward your goal. Your failure will only be a disgrace if your back is toward your goal. Let this be the aim of each one of us. Life and the world has need of men, not deeds, for the latter cannot come without the former, and we cannot have the former unless we train our minds to concentrate. President Kliot once said to the Harvard students: “ You ought to obtain here the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense and sustained. It is the main achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained forethought, and everything that we mean by the reasoning power of man. That capacity will be the main source of intellectual joys and happiness and content throughout a long, busy life. The progressive Normal School must have a Normal School atmosphere, and it must instill into its students the high ideal of living for others. Much of its best work, therefore, will not be found in its course of study, but will be in its social environment, in its literary and musical organizations, in its Christian Associations and Temperance Unions, in its purely religious organizations, in all that makes a man or woman a fit model for the rapidly-developing youth of our country. — :'. (). Lyte. Do not go through life doing little things painfully, when you can do great things grandly and happily. This year marks the close of I)r. Bitner's career as a teacher of this school. Only after we are separated from our instructors do we realize what they have done for us and appreciate their efforts to aid us in our school life and prepare us for life-work. By Iu . true manliness, Dr. Bitner has won for himself a warm 11 place i:i tl� e hearts of all connected with this school. For twenty-three years Dr. Bitner has faithfully and conscientiously unfolded to his pupils the great I aws of Nature as he interprets them from his diligent researches. An earnest, God-fearing man : we cannot express our admiration for him. Never shall he be forgotten by those with whom he has come in contact. We take this opportunity, as a Class, to bid him an affectionate farewell, and to wish him success in his future career. Members of the Kditing Board take this opportunity to acquaint the public with the fact that a full supply of guns and ammunition has been procured as a measure of self-protection in case of riot. We realize that our lives may be in jeopard} by publishing this book. Already a score of enraged Seniors and Middlers are after our scalps, and the Faculty is ready to execute us on the slightest provocation. Others less revengeful find consolation in considering the source.” Threats are much in evidence, but thus far no casualties in the Board have been reported. The prevailing opinion seems to be that members of the Kditing Board deserve lynching, and that hanging is too good for us. Though we are of a peace-loving disposition, this turbulent condition of society necessitates armed vigilance on our part if we wish to leave this institution alive.

It’s not a Latin expression, Which only a few can read : But English, every word of it, And easy for all to heed. Climb ; This word itself is suggestive Of something higher to gain, And climb, whene'er you think of it, Von know there's a better aim. Rocks you know are obstructions, When lying in the path ; But e’en though huge and rugged, We only at them laugh. It's possible to eke an existence, With the crowd at the foot of the hill. But if that is all the aim in life. At sixty you'll be there still. It's when your bound to rise, No matter how rough the way, That every obstruction passed o’er, Adds new strength for the fray. 26 Christ’s burden was heavy to bear, And rough the way lie took ; But He conquered and reached the top. And there can see if we look A hand that is reaching to help, If we are bound to rise, And conquer the rugged obstructions. And win the glorious prize. And now if you take our motto. Though that be all we give ; It's climb though the rocks be rugged, May it help you to strive and live. —Brnj. .

I wish I had charge of them next year too, but I'm going to keep looking them up. Sincerely yours, Gko. W. Hum.. I felt proud to belong to that class, as I’m sure did all of my classmates when they heard the doctor s opinion about us. The next moment my hands fell upon another missive which interested me more than e' er. Here's a copy: Mii.i.kksvit.i.K, Pa..June 24. 1908. Dr. Lvtk: It is with great pleasure that I send you my report of the Middle class of 1908. As a whole they have been aptly named by yourself, and that most hard to satisfy body—the State Board—“The Model Class.’’ Karlv in the year they selected f r themselves a motto. “Climb tho' the Rocks be i 6 Rugged, which i just what they do. Nothing lctcr or hinder them. They also adopted a most unique pin as a symbol of their cla-. . With tlii beacon to guide them and thi shield for protection, I am sure they need fear nothing in the future. They gave a Social which vn truly wonderful, excelling any ever given in the school. In the Spring the beauty and grace of the class was displayed in the very difficult but fascinating Revel of the Naiads. Iu Basket Ball their girl carried the Cup away without any trouble while their boys easily defeated the Juniors. Victorious, too, were they in base ball. In short, they have attempted nothing iu which they have not carried off the prize with flying colors. We may, I am sure, expect great tilings of them next year a Senii.r . Very respectfully your , Anna Lyi.h. And now it remains for me to paint for you our history as Seniors, as Dr. Byerly's report has not been written. He tells us. however, that lie has nothing but praise for the class. Oh, yes, we have been fully conscious of the fact that we have had to maintain the dignity of the school. As you know we have given it its reputation. In Basket Ball and Foot Ball our boys carried off all honors, as usual. That game with the Middlers was in truth “a game, against Time. ' In Base Ball they have been so victorious that their coach prophesies that the school will never again possess so strong a team. Our Social venture this year was so successful that the Middlers could do no better than imitate us. and the Juniors could not even do that—so gave none. January 30, 1909. marked a memorable day iu our career. The girls tournament to which the poor hoys were denied admittance was the first of its kind, and was a glorious success. Of course our girls, with Captain Mattie to lead them, captured the cup! That night our Class held its Reunion, and what a grand meeting it was. Some of us were very much surprised at our prophecies, but we bowed gracefully and accepted them. Ah, fellow classmates, this is perhaps the last time I shall write of our deeds in this school year, and as we glance back over our three years of school life, how many memories throng through our minds. We do. indeed, line! it hard to shake the hand for aye. Let ns keep ever before ns our motto and climb! climb ! climb !

[ Kach one in his time bluffs many parts. In all. they make four ages: First, the Freshie sighing and pining for his mother's arms and then the saucy Junior with his growl; with a scowl on his face, crawling, like a snail, reluctant to his class. And then the Middler, full of manly vigor and working awful hard; zealous in athletics, standing up for all his rights. Seeking the huhhle reputation, And getting all he seeks. One bright day in September, we, the class of Millersville State Normal School, 1910, found ourselves at the third stage of our normal development according to the above description of life at Millersville. How many understand what I mean? We soon organized, and, having elected a remarkable staff of officers, we admitted to membership those who were trying to skip a stage of their life. They took a most solemn oath (on a chest containing the bones of classes long departed and sainted) to be ever loyal to the class of 1910 and to all its representatives. After having severely whipped the Juniors in foot ball, we were with difficulty chastised by the Seniors, which totally eclipsed all other efforts. We in turn made our place with Juniors, Seniors and Faculty by also presenting a sociable. 94 On the evening of that event about a dozen families held reunions in the chapel and were amused by various devices provided by the heads of the families. When ‘ I)r. Cure-all arrived the families dispersed and watched him perform some wonderful cures, all through “ faith and chocolate water.' I will say this for him, any circus would he willing to accept his productions of fat ladies, giants and the like. He can cure anything but an awkward walk. “ Yes, indeed} . Then we were visited by eighteen young ladies, from as many colleges, and were kept busy guessing from which each came. One night shortly afterwards the Juniors grew courageous and ran their pennant out on one of the electric wires. But, despite their vigilance, the next morning it had disappeared. I wonder why? (Ask the Middlers.) Thus was ushered in an eventful day—the day of the girls’ basket ball tournament. The old “ gym ” scarcely knew itself, so resplendent with pennants and ribbons of various colors, brown and gold being very prominent. Before the game was called the teams were escorted several times around the “ gym, our team being escorted by four sailor girls and an Indian brave with his squaw, who bore aloft our mascot, a brown Teddy Bear. The Middlers did some good playing, but were outclassed But that we could play we showed a week or so later in our game with the Juniors. Such is the history of the Middler Class up to the present time But it will be worth while for the Seniors and all others to keep their eyes open. We intend to make a history that will be worthy of such a class. 95 AS OTHERS SEE THEM History of the Middle Class v JMg'ARLV in the Kail of 1907 some queer looking specimens of humanity, drifting in from all parts of the State, en-rolled here as students. The Faculty, never before having seen anything like these freaks of nature, consulted Darwin on Involution and promptly classified them as “The Missing Link.” The general uncivilized appearance of these young barbarians was only exceeded by the extreme freshness of their natures. They often displayed their verdant faces on the campus, strutting up and down admiring themselves and each other. It was in the class-room, however, that these showed their profound ignorance to the greatest extent. After much trouble and wor-riment the Faculty succeeded in getting them past the State Hoard examinations with an average of only three conditions each. Hmboldened by this unexpected good fortune, the Class of 1910 resolved to raise their flag on the campus on the night before Class Day. All night long the Campus rang with their hideous cries. Not being able to climb a tree themselves, they, after much exertion, succeeded in getting together the magnificent sum of a dollar and a half, and hired a man from the village to put up their flag. Morning found the entire 1910 force drawn up in companies round the flag. Company A consisted of the 1910 class proper; Company B, the Preps; Company C, the model school students; Company D. 190 sympathizers; Company E, made up of allies from the village; and (J, consisting of all the friends and rela- 96 tives of the above mentioned who were imported for the occasion. Commander-in-Chief. General Disorder. Opposed to this vast force was the 1909 class, consisting of twenty-five able bodied men These made a terrific charge on the defenders of the flag. 'jo to the right of them! ' 10 to the left of them! ' 10 in front of them! Bellowed and thundered. But when the smoke cleared away, 1910’s flag was at half mast. However, by sheer force of numbers they succeeded in preventing its capture. When the Middlers returned to school last fall, it was noticed that their heads required hats several sizes larger than those worn previously. This deplorable condition, however, was partly remedied after a few weeks in the General History and Geometry classes. But in some respects Middlers an quick to learn. After intently observing the manner in which the Seniors conducted their class Sociable, they were enabled to give us a very fair reproduction of it. This shows what association with intelligent people will do. Although Middlers have little regard for most good things, they have a wholesome respect for the Juniors. Out of defer- ence to the Juniors’ feelings they kindly refrained from removing the 1911 Class Flag one morning last winter. It is an interesting psychological experiment to suddenly appear at a Middler mass meeting atid shout “Sick 'em, Mack! ' or “ The Juniors are coming.' The effect is worse than an electric shock, and the resulting confusion indescribable. Thus far we have been speaking of the 1910 class as a unit. Personally the members are generally all that could be desired and give promise of becoming Seniors worthy of admiration and res| ect. In fact, were it not that we are Juniors, and influenced by class rivalry, we would be inclined to doff our hats and to proclaim with 1910, “ Hail! Brown and Gold!” Contributed by 1911. 97 Class of 1911 President, 1 ‘ice-President, Stentary, lira finer. jt Jt Officers RrSSKI.

It was a wish of every member of the class that an early organization take place in order that the class might be on an equal footing with the other classes of the school. And that we would be able to successfully compete with them in foot ball, basket ball and base ball and that we might by so doing help keep alive the class spirit which has so much to do with making school life enthusiastic. Under the direction of the Faculty, a committee was appointed to choose a motto, and select the class colors. After thoughtful consideration we finally selected “Violet and Gold ' for the colors, and for the motto, “ Non scholae sed vitae discimus. Being young and inexperienced, we could not expect to do much in athletics as to the winning of games, but nevertheless we were not lacking in spirit and enthusiasm. And as a result of this we had very many interesting games in foot ball and basket ball. We expect to have one of the best class teams in base ball, and feel confident that we can defeat the Middlers and give the Seniors some interesting pastime during the Spring session. We have some very good tennis players among our class, and think that in the tennis tournament we will be able to carry off some of the honors. From the above description, though we are inexperienced, it can be plainly seen that our class is composed of the kind of material that is bound to make a success in life. And that by. the time we have finished our course here at school we will be able to take our part in the ompetition of the world. Nku. Ikknk Kkksiinkk. too As Others See Them v vjt SCARCELY accustomed to the sound of their name, we j see this little band of children strolling about our campus. They have been here just long enough to learn from their most worthy instructors—the Seniors—how they shall conduct themselves when they reach that stage in their development, a few years hence. They have officers and a historian, but, alas! she was too busy to leave us the annals of their strenuo is life until one of the Seniors took pity, and under his guiding hand she produced their story. The Seniors have always found them loyal supporters, when it came to athletics. They have a promising outlook in these, for they played most valiantly and put up good games both in foot ball and basket ball, and we know that if they will con tinue in the natural order of development that by the time they will become Seniors they will be able to show a record almost equal to the record of the present Senior class. 'Phe Juniors have shown splendid class spirit so far; several times they have put up a Hag in order to worry the poor Mid-dlers, who by the way have trouble enough; but, owing to some misunderstanding, the flags usually disappeared. We predict by next Spring, when the annual rush comes along, that there will not be much left of the Middlers. They have not yet had a sociable, but this was not their fault, but due to the fact that they could not find an open date. But we know now that they realize that their elders, the Seniors, are worthy of imitation, and they will have a rousing sociable next in their Middle year. Nevertheless there is splendid material in the Junior Class, and we see an excellent future before them. lot Page Literary Society V V V Officers for 1908-1909 President, Pier-President.

There is a tradition that it organization was in accordance with a suggestion made by the Hon. James P Wickersham, who was then the principal of the school. This may be accurate history, as Mr. Wickersham was always much interested in the Page Society and spoke of himself a one of the first ” Pageites.” The society was granted a Charter on August 28, 1858. Among the names of those who presented a charter we find the following: John W. Peoples, Theodore Whitson, A. X Raub, Benjamin H. Hershey, A. O. Xewpher. J. W. Dickerson, K. S. Hutchinson, H. 1) Schultz, J. J. Cake. The name of the society commemorates David R. Page, a prominent educator, who was the first princi pal of the first State Normal School of New York, and the author of a most valuable educational work, entitled “Theory and Practice of Teaching.” Mr. Page was a great inspiration for whatever was lofty and good in education. Among the names of the early members we find such as Colonel Morris I). Wickersham, who served with General George H. Thomas in the Chickamatiga and Chattanooga campaigns, after wards United States District Attorney for the State of Alabama; Hon. J A. M. Passmore, of Philadelphia: Dr. A. M. Raub, one time president of Newark College, Delaware. A little later we find enrolled Dr. Robert M. Girvin, a physician of Philadelphia; Charles H. Pugh. First Vice-President of the Pennsylvania Rail road; Dr. A. K Byerly, oar loved professor of Latin and Greek. 104 There are also many notable women, such as Lilian Welsh, of Woman's College, Baltimore, Mcl. We could name a host of others, but space does not permit. The Page Society, being thus a legally constituted body, named for a distinguished educator, numbering among its members some of the noted men of our Commonwealth and men and women of national fame, we, its present active members, take great pride in preserving its high aim and perpetuating its good name. We trust that in the years to come our successors may ever cherish and uphold our srciety, while we, as we depart from its roll of active members, will ever love and cherish it and will ever strive to be “ Rich in Truth.” 105 Normal Literary Society 0 v Organized January 30, 1837.

Donavkn Nora Kibvfkr I07 Normal Society jrt vrt N JANUARY 30, 1857, two years after the founding of I ♦Ji the school, a number of students met and arranged for the organization of a society the object of which should be “the improvement of the mind by literary culture, the ability to express our thought with power and elegance, readiness and skill in debate, and a familiar acquaintance with the rules and usages of deliberative bodies.” A committee, consisting of Dr. Edward Brooks, Win. Y. Fell, J. F. O. Yarro and J. C Hunter, was appointed to draft a constitution and code of laws. Their report was accepted, and on August 15, 1859, the society was incorporated. The present constitution, by-laws and rules of order, drawn up by K. Oram Lyte, J. Willis Westlake, J. C. Bell and X. C. Fetter, were adopted by the society June 22, 1X72. They have been revised several times since then by committees appointed for that purpose, the last revision for the purpose of fitting it to our present requirements being made in 1899 by IF Justin Roddy. Anna Dunstan, and Morgan Evans. The names of many illustrious Alumni are found upon the records of the society, among which we may mention the following: I)r. B. F. Shaub, Kx-County Superintendent of Lancaster County and Ex-Principal of Millersville Normal School; Prof. John Morrow, Superintendent of the City Schools of Allegheny; I)r. John Musser, eminent physician of Philadelphia; David H. McMullen, lawyer and ex-Judge of Lancaster County; Prof. M. J. Brecht, County Superintendent of the Lancaster County Schools, and many others. The Society has an extensive library, consisting of about six 10S thousand volumes. The books are selected to meet the needs of every department of the work of the student. It is the object of the Society to fit its members for real life. In accordance with this, the program is so arranged as to give each member the privilege of taking part. Original productions, such as orations, essays, etc., form a very prominent feature of the program. Perhaps the most interesting feature is the debate. Questions coming up in real life are discussed, and each member is given the privilege of participating in the general discussions That such work is of value to its members has been proved by the prominent places occupied by those who have already entered upon active life. Proud of the attainments of the past, we strive to keep up the record, and even surpass it if possible. May we ever move onward and “ Fight for Truth and Right.” 109 Millersville jA jA jA Ti nh— AtiWI bang Syne. ur school clays here, so full of joy, Too soon will pass away: Their mem’ry green, without alloy, Will cling to us for aye.

UniKL 111 Y. iM. C. A. History j J j THE Y. M. C. A. is one of the most flourishing organizations of this school. It is wholly kept up and supported by the men students of the institution. We have been kindly assisted by Mr. 1 . Monroe Harbold, whom the association appointed as an adviser and who has ably helj ed the members of the cabinet in their work. The membership of the Y. M. C. A. is transient, a person only belonging to it as long as he is a student here at the Normal Thus our membership roll is frequently revised on account of the old members leaving and the new ones coming in. We have generally been successful in enrolling nearly all the students as members of our Y. M. C. A., either as active or associate members. The past year, that is the Fall and Winter Terms, out of about one hundred and fifteen boarding students, we had enrolled about one hundred members. The outlook this spring is very bright so far, all but few of the new students have joined. The purpose of the Y. M. C. A. in any institution of learning is to keep before the students thereof the value of a Christian life. To work for the salvation of the fellows. To stimulate and keep up a clean atmosphere. To develop a wholesome fellowship that will give each student a higher idea of life and a purer and noble outlook. The Y. M. C. A. has had very successful religious meetings all year, both Sunday morning and Thursday evening hall meetings. The joint meetings with the Y. W. C. A. in the Chapel on Sunday evening have also been well attended. The Bible groups of which there were eight met with good results during the Fall and Winter Terms in studying the life of St. Paul. I 12 This spring we have introduced a new course, the study of the Parables of Christ. We did this in order to get the group leaders started for next year's work. Prior to this year Bible groups were suspended during the Spring Term. The V. M. C. A. has used different means during the past year in order to raise money to send delegates to Xorthfield. We had a Glee Club Concert and a Country Fair, the proceeds of which we shared with the V. W. C. A. We issued a school calender, sold Foot Ball pictures, had a Basket Ball game with the Faculty and expect to have several more events this spring. ()ur purpose is to send eight men to Xorthfield this summer from July 2 to 11. We sincerely hope that at the end of the year 1909-' 10 the V. M. C. A. may have met with far greater success than it ever did before. Y. W. C. A. v v .

A. „ jt aSTI'DKNT S life is not complete when he knows all that ca� i he gleaned from books. The more cultured we become, the more we realize that there are three phases to human life, and of these the spiritual is the most important. This fact led to the organization of a Y. Y. C. A. at Millers-ville on March 3, 1891. This organization at first was very small in numbers, but year by year it has grown, until now it has become an important feature in the student life. 'fhe work at present is divided into several departments: Bible study, Missions, Devotional and Social. Every year finds an increased interest in Bible study, and we sincerely hope that the time is not far distant when every girl shall feel it her duty to join one of the Bible Bands. During the past year there were seven classes, which met every week. 'flic heads of the various committees, together with the officers, form the cabinet, which meets once every week for the transaction of any business which may concern the association. That the work is continuously growing is evidenced by the large membership and deep spiritual interest of the girls, and the one hope and aim of the association now is to make the association the most vital factor in every girl’s life.

U. j j TWENTY FOUR years ago. on the 26th of April, the Normal School Y. C. T. I’, began its work in the school. What kind of work ? The work of teaching temperance truths and arousing temperance sentiment among the ardent young spirits who come by hundreds every year to our Normal school. Such work among students is truly a work “for God, and Home, and Native Land.” Send out from a normal school a young heart surcharged with love for God and humanity, with a mind disciplined by study and train ing, and with a will alive to its opportunities for helpful service in all lines of Christian work, and you add a mighty force to the great army of workers for the good of our State. Who can measure the influence of a teacher, informed and aroused on the temperance question, tactful and wise in his teaching of the subject. on the lives of his pupils, to safeguard those lives from the multiplied temptations of drinking and of the liquor saloon. It-is such teaching that has been the most potent factor in raising the mighty wave of prohibition sentiment sweeping the land today. To send out such teachers is still the hope, the ambition of our Normal School “ Y.” Twelve hundred and twenty-five is the glorious roll on our book of pledge-signing members. And how true many of them have been! Not only in our own State, but in far-awa heathen lands our members have carried the gospel of temperance as a part of the Gospel of Christ. From Japan, M. Mosscr Smyser. '95, and from India, Agnes I. Schade. ’S6, have recently sent 11s messages of fidelity and cheer. The work of the Union in the present school year may be taken as a sample of the nature and scope of our efforts: 117 Sixteen regular meetings with an average attendance of ninety. Many business and executive sessions. Three public meetings. One grand sociable in the chapel. One informal sociable and one members’ sociable. A great many meetings outside of school helped by our members. One silver medal contest. More than four thousand pages of literature distributed. Many bouquets and plants to the sick. Ten delegates to the County V. V. C 'I'. C. Institute held at Paradise. Two delegates to the V. V. C. '1'. I , encampment at Mount Gretna. Each year of our existence as a Union we have not failed to send dues for from fifty to seventy five members to the County, State and National organizations to help in the great world s work. In all these ways have we worked to fulfill our V. W. C. T. I , motto: That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth: that our daughters may be as corner-stones, polished after the similitude of a palace. Ps. 144, 12. To the Class of 1909: Best wishes from the V. V. C. T. I .! May the curse of intemperance come not near your lives! May your best efforts be spent to help others! And may success and happiness crown your days! 1 is Pennsylvania v ji A IK— 1 jail riger H mi t ius. ’’ Land of beauty, land of health. Native Pennsylvania!

Music vrf INCH Creation's dawn, when the morning stars sang together, music lias been one of the most potent factors of life. This is as true now as when David sang his Psalms; when Shakespeare, realizing the power of music, wrote; Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. This powerful factor is being appreciated more every year, and Millersville has no small share in making this factor felt more keenly. During the past year, the choir, under the supervision of Miss Florence Adams, has grown considerably and furnishes us with excellent music. Their ability was especially shown in the Christmas and Faster cantatas. A new feature at Millersville this year was the school orchestra, under the leadership of Miss Potter. The orchestra entertained us quite frequently during the winter term, and we hope that their fate will not be the same as that of the Glee Club last year. This spring a band consisting of about twenty-five members lias been organized and will furnish music for the social func-tions of the spring term. 121 Members of the Choir j ji E. May Potter, ....

More than the ordinary amount of credit is due Coach Charles Cooper. Only three regular men and two substitutes were left from last year's 'Varsity. The problem before him was to develop a winning foot ball machine from practically new material. Mr. Cooper was helped greatly, however, by having the entire second team of last year to choose men from. In response to his call for candidates, about thirty-five men made their appearance on the gridiron. Practice was begun as soon as all of the men had returned from their summer vacation. The first weeks were spent in learning the rudiments of foot ball—running down under and catching bunts, tackling, falling on the ball, etc. The schedule arranged by Manager Mess included a number of very hard games. At the start we were scheduled to play a team which would have given the'Varsity of last year a struggle at the end of their season. The success of Mr. Cooper's coaching may be seen by the fact that we won by the score of 6-o. Throughout the whole season the same success followed our team. Such teams as Allentown “Prep.,” Lancaster A. C., Baltimore Poly., and Middletown were played and decisively beaten. The only game of the year in which we were beaten, was lost to a team which, ordinarily, we would have completely outclassed. There is only one cause for the defeat. The team had been disorganized and the line-up changed by the absence of two regular men. Their places were filled by men who, although not inferior in ability, were new to the position. This defeat was atoned for, however, by the victory which our team achieved at Middletown, beating the strong team of that town by the score of 5-0, and ending the season with a record of which any school may be proud of. 129 VARSITY BASKET MALI.

Four of last year's team were lost by graduation, only Zehner being left Again Coach Cooper has been very successful, developing a quintette that will give almost any Academic team a struggle for the victory. With Straughn and Aierstock and Arthur at forward, Witmeyer and Wertsch at center, and Zehner, Quaill and Pruitt at guards, we have won from the majority of the teams we played. Our schedule during the past season was the hardest ever arranged for our Normal team. It included such teams as the State Forestry Academy, Susquehanna University, Juniata College. and University of Pennsylvania Reserves. Of course no team can expect to win every game and suffer no defeat. But there is nothing in our record that we are not proud of. Out of a total of nine games played we won six and lost three. The prospects for next year's team are much brighter than they have been for a number of years. In practicing against the Varsity, a second team, composed entirely of underclassmen, was developed that could make any reserve team hustle. Kncouraged by the second team's showing, all are even now planning for a record that will eclipse that made by the team this year. Base Ball v C Officers CIIAS. I) Cooper, Geo. K.

The season opened the second week of this Spring Term in reality, although our pitchers were taking regular practice in the pitching alley of our gymnasium towards the close of the Winter Term. A splendid crowd of candidates reported for practice, only three of last year’s team missing. Some good men have reported for their places. If the spirit among the fellows holds and the men continue to develop as they have done, we will have a team made up of championship caliber this year. The men all around seem to be hitting the ball this year. If they continue, we will have a heavy hitting as well as a fast fielding team. A fine schedule has been arranged by the management on which some of the best teams of interscholastic base ball are found. Two of the hardest games we will have to play are Mercersburg Academy and the Carlisle Indians. We played our first game on Saturday afternoon, April 17, with the York Collegiate Institute, winning out by the score of 14 to 2. This team really gave us splendid practice and a good chance to prepare for the harder games of the season. The base ball team expects to end the season with a strong claim to the interscholastic championship of the State for the year 1909. 134 • Senior Foot Ball Lineup v Simon N. Fridy, ....

Class Foot Ball Games j THK class of 1909 lias had two very successful years in foot ball, both in her Middle and Senior year, losing only one game in her Middle year. In our Middle year we played our first game with the Seniors. '08, who had nearly all the ’Varsity men on their team, but where our team lacked in experience we made up for in spirit, and we defeated the Seniors by the score of 6 to 5. A short time afterwards we played the Juniors, ’10, but owing to over-confidence on our part we were defeated by the tune of 6 to o. This fall we had a chance to avenge ourselves. Our team was made up of all the players which played last year with the exception of one. We went into the game with the determination of winning. Owing to a great deal of delay on the part of the Middlers in coming on to the field, the game started 20 minutes late. As we had to stop at the ringing of the bell about 30 minutes later, we had only a short time in which to play the game. We made a touchdown in short order, then the Middlers started to play for time and owing to their killing of time and slow playing the game was ended by the ringing of the bell with the score of 5 to o. Nevertheless it was a great victory ; with it we carried off the foot ball championship for this year 1909, Middler Foot Ball Officers Norman Huntzinger, Stephen C.

We have the “’Varsity ” battery, consisting of Wit-meyer and Zeliner, who have played winning ball for the school for several seasons past. Thus we were enabled to put a strong team in the field, and to capture the inter-class base ball championship in our Middle year. The first game of the inter-class series in 190S was played as a result of our challenge to the 1908 class. Our boys showed excellent team work in that game, completely outclassing 1908 and winning by the score 9—0. Following our game with the 190S Class, the 1910 class challenged 11s to play the deciding game of the series. We accepted. Owing to the intense class rivalry this game was one of the most interesting and exciting games ever played here. From the beginning both teams played a fast and almost errorless game. Pitted against each other were the two ’Varsity pitchers, Witmeyer and Umlioltz. Both had a large strike out record and their excellent work was largely responsible for the close score. In the ninth inning the score stood 6—6, and a tenth inning was necessary to break the tie. Amid intense excitement our team scored the winning run and the score stood 7—6 in favor of '09. This game gave us undisputed right to the inter-class championship for 1907. This year our team will have practically the same lineup as that of last year.

Months before that day preparations were being made. Miss Adams, our gymnasium teacher, was not satisfied with making three good basket ball teams out of the inexperienced material presented, but also taught each class a drill with which the time between the halves was to be filled. But preparations were not confined to Miss Adams. All the girls were very busy planning surprises and each class endeavored to surpass the others with their yells and songs. There was one other thing beside the main issue in which there was class rivalry—our mascots. Needless to say the quick wit of the Senior girls evolved a very good idea and did not desert them when they met unlooked for difficulties. But they were well repaid for their ingenuity, for our mascot undoubtedly was most popular of all. At half-past one the tournament began. The gymnasium was decorated in the colors of the classes, each class having its own corner. Here we scored our first victory. Garnet and Gold had no rivals. The Grand March, led by the Senior team, and in which all the teams and their mascots took part, was a new feature in this yearly event. Another new feature was the exercises by the classes which we have mentioned before. The Juniors in their wand drill and the Middlers in a dumb bell drill showed that they had been carefully taught. The Senior girls executed a difficult Swedish dance, and we may feel proud of the manner in which they did it. Several girls from each class 145 had also been chosen to represent their respective classes, and performed most difficult fancy dances. Ruth Boyle and Gertrude Chapin, as Spanish dancers, captivated every one. Miss Adams also entertained us with “The Sword Dance, “American Beauty Waltz, and several other dances. And now for the games. The first game was played by the Seniors and Middlers. But the Middlers were no match for us. The Senior girls were confident of victory, and worked for it. The Middlers feared defeat, but they worked hard. The score mounted up rapidly. ttr girls played very well. They were all over the door. The Middlers could not guard them, and at the end of the first half the score was 18 to 2 in our favor. The second half was a repetition of the first. Our team was not matched. The Middlers could do nothing. And despairing of success made them even weaker. At the end of the first game the score was 31 to S. In the second game of the afternoon our girls, though tired, did not cease to excel. But it was not necessary for them to work hard, for several of the Juniors became excited and gave away the game. Nevertheless, the game was amusing, and added to the afternoon's enjoyment. The score for this game was 30 to s in favor of the Seniors. The tournament this year was the first of its kind, and undoubtedly a great success. The Senior girls deserve credit for their playing. But by far the greatest amount of praise for the pleasant day goes to Miss Adams, who worked tirelessly for it, and who helped to instill the friendly spirit among the classes shown by one of the yells: We’re Millersville girls, rah! rah! We re Millersville girls, rah! rah! However it ends, we’ll always be friends. We’re Millersville girls, rah! rah' 146 Faculty-Y. M. C. A. Game 0 0 NDOVBTEDLY the one event of the basket ball season 1 ♦ most looked forward to is this much-heralded, liighly- interesting, fun-provoking game between the Faculty and Y. M. C. A. Months before the game was to come off Capt. Cooper, of the Faculty, had his candidates out for practice, which of course was much needed to work off some of the superfluous adipose tissue with which the above are burdened. Xot to be outdone by the business-like manner in which the Faculty was preparing for this conflict, Capt. Heller, of the Y. M C. A., called out his candidates and put them through a rigorous course of practice. The fact that the game was going to be a world-beater could not be denied, for the earnestness of both teams foreshadowed a terrific conflict. To get themselves into perfect shape, the two teams played several practice games. In these games the Faculty generally won, but there was no telling what the Y. M. C. A. had up its sleeve. Finally, the appointed day, Thursday, February 25, 1909, came, and an eventful day it proved to be. At 4 i m. the two teams squared off for the contest. With llarbold at center, Cooper and Straughn at forward, and Hess and Hunter at guard, the Faculty presented quite a bulky lineup. The Y. M. C. A. lined up as follows: Farmer, center; Gilbert and Heller, forwards; Markle and Wehler, guards. When all the details had been arranged, the referee put the ball into play. At the first shrill sound of the whistle both teams got down to work, and a great contest was on. Bloody noses, bruised ribs, badly ruffled tempers, and the like, were very much in evidence. For the Faculty, Cooper, with his wonderful ag- '47 gressiveness and speed, and Straughn, with his accurate goalshooting. kept the V. M. C. A. guards hustling to keep track of their whereabouts. Harbold, at center, covered himself with glory, but the most gratifying feature of the Faculty’s playing was the guarding of Hess and Hunter. The latter surprised everybody with his agility and the deftness with which he handled the ball. In Hess one could see a striking resemblance of an old Dutch wind-mill in motion. But even in the face of such odds, the V. M. C. A. boys were not dismayed. They settled down to their task with a determination that heralded success Heller simply dazed everybody by his speed, and Farmer—well, whoever did not see him, missed the time of his life to see basket ball played as it should be. The other members of the V. M C. A. all did their allotted share, and when accounts were squared up at the end of the game, the score was found to be a tie at 29 to 29. It was a difficult matter to keep track of the points scored, as the goals were shot in such a bewildering fashion that one could hardly see how it had been done. Faculty-Y. M. C. A.

This grieved me greatly, for I was rather a shy little lady, and was too fond of my home to leave it. But, alas! my protests were all in vain, and before I fully realized it summer was over and the seam stress was busy fitting out my winter wardrobe, which was very-necessary, as I was not to come home until Christmas. I util Christmas! and this was only the first of September. My! what a long time that seemed. Finally the day of departure arrived, and I was hustled off to the station. Railroads were new in that day, and i ot very reliable, so I began to picture all sorts of lovely things that might happen to prevent me from going; but while I was planning the train came puffing in on schedule time. The adieux were hastily said, and I, weeping and heart-sick, boarded the train that was to carry me away from home for many months. “ Nobody can imagine my feelings on that hot September after noon. I cried and cried until I had attracted the attention of every one in the stuffy hot car; so finally plucking up all of my courage I wiped my streaming eyes, adjusted my little straw bonnet, put on my little mits with the determination that I should follow my mother's parting advice, and ‘conduct myself as a lady should.' '• Finally, after many weary hours. I arrived in a big. dark. 59 dirty station, which was none other than Lancaster. I hurriedly made some indefinite arrangements about my baggage, and ran to catch a horse-car marked Millersville.' Now came another long ride, but I did not mind this so much, as a kind lady wearing a plain dress and a funny little bonnet talked to me. As we journeyed on she pointed out the places of interest tome; these places consisted of a toll-gate, a large brick meeting house, a Lutheran church, and. finally, the Normal School, which was a small, square, brick building situated in a large yard, enclosed by an iron fence. “ I walked leisurely up the path and at the door was met by a large, kind looking woman, who informed me that she was the matron, and would allow me to put my carpet-bag in her room until I went to the office and ‘ registered.’ When I went to the office I found it filled with girls and boys and a few men and women, whom I presumed were teachers. It took me about half an hour to ‘register,’ then the matron took me to my room. What a room! There on the little hard bed. regardless of my best frock and Sunday bonnet, did I pour forth my grief. Hut in a short time my room-mate, who was an old student, came in, and after having learned to know her, things went more smoothly. “ My first night in Millersville is one long to be remembered. The next morning we were awakened at five o’clock by the most horrible sound of some one beating on a tin bucket, so it sounded to me. Hut my room-mate calmed my fears by telling me that it was only the gong which bade us get up for breakfast. At six we assembled in the dining room for breakfast, which consisted of otmeal and eggs. My breakfast being such an exceedingly large one, and I not being accustomed to breakfasting so early in the morning, hence not being very hungry, I was not able to eat it all, so I decided to carry two eggs to my room and eat them later in the day, for I felt sure I should need them some time in the near future. I proceeded so to do, but when my table teacher noticed this she, horrified, reprimanded me severely, so that I was forced to stay and eat my breakfast in the dining room. 160 “So the days sped on: classes from seven until twelve; then in the afternoon from one until five; after supper, devotional exercises which lasted for one hour, then study period until nine, and then bed time. “On Friday and Saturday nights our literary societies held meetings, which consisted of an essay, an oration and two debates. Saturday we had school until twelve, and then side by-side in a long line we wended our way down what is now known as Shenk's Lane, for our weekly walk. “On Sunday we had chapel exercises from nine until twelve; these consisted of hymns, scripture and prayers, and a sermon delivered by the Principal; this service ended with a testimonial meeting in which the members of the faculty were active participants. In the afternoon we had a ' quiet hour' from two until five, and in the evening, chapel again. Thus passed my three years' course at Millersville.” This is the story of the Grandmother's Normal days. —RUTH J. BOYLE. i6i Millersville--Twenty-five Years Hence A . 44 o NK crisp October afternoon I found myself on a Pullman being conducted to Millersville, where I was going to attend a fashionable Normal School, 'fhe sun was shining brightly and the air was clear and cool. Finally the train puffed slowly up to an attractive little stone station, which bore the name 4 Millersville,’ printed in large blazon letters on a blackboard. I hurriedly left the train, and after the porter had deposited my bag on the baggage truck I found myself in a large automobile marked ‘To the Normal School.’ Around me were girls, excited and eager; several crowded in the machine, and before I knew it we were tearing madly toward the school. “ Mv first glance at the school 1 shall never forget. It consisted of several large and attractive brick buildings, all of which had been recently remodelled in modern architecture. The campus was large and beautiful; on one side a large lake lay peacefully at rest, and a little stream ran from it over the grounds. On the lake were many boats and canoes. The entire campus seemed to be filled with beautiful arbors and inviting places; all this my eye took in at a glance. “ I walked hurriedly up the stone steps and was greeted by a kind woman, who called a little maid to take me to Room No. 154; we journeyed through a warm, long corridor, and finally we stopped before a door which the maid unlocked. My rooms were very attractive; the sitting room was large and well furnished, and the bed room, although not so large as the sitting room, was nicely furnished with two small brass beds, a bureau, dresser, chiffonier and plenty of chairs; communicating with this room was a tiny bath. “ 1 had not been arranging things very long when in came my room-mate, a tall, graceful, attractive girl, whose dignified manner and winning ways captured my heart completely. We talked for awhile, and then she asked me if 1 would not go down and have dinner so that we might go for a machine ride in the early evening. I consented, and we went to the dining hall; this was a large room, beautifully lighted, and in it were hundreds of little tables, apparently seating four people, two girls and two boys. We ordered our dinners, and, after hurrying somewhat, finished the seventh course, and then left the hall. My room-mate ordered the machine, and we spun away in the cold, starry night. It was about ten o'clock when we came back, and I, being tired out, retired, fell asleep and dreamed of the happy Normal days that were to come. Thus passed my first night in the Normal School. The next morning we breakfasted at nine, and our first lesson was at nine-thirty. We went to classes steadily from nine-thirty until twelve, then we had lunch. In the afternoon we walked or went for a machine ride; sometimes the boys or girls had races, games or track-meets of various descriptions -on such occasions each bad the hearty applause and cooperation of the other. Another happy event of the year was the reception the Principal gave to the students. At the beginning of ekch year the Principal gave a reception in his private library to all of the students. Refreshments were served and we always had a good time; we all learned to know our Principal cjuite well, in this way, for the reception was a very informal affair. “ We had two Literary Societies, one of which met the first Friday evening of one month and the other the first Friday of the following month. The programme usually consisted of some music, a paper or two on some current event and always ended with an informal dance in the gymnasium, where the meeting was held. Besides this the school gave monthly dances, and 163 each class gave a play and dance some time during the year. There was always something to do and we certainly had great times. It almost seemed that the school was founded for the advancement of social education, rather than for mental training. ' Every Sunday morning we had chapel exercises for an hour, during which time the Assistant Principal preached a sermon, and some music was rendered by the school choir, which was not only extremely high classed in quantity, but in quality as well. In the afternoon everybody went about his or her especial pastime. '• The crowning event of my three years' course at the Normal School was my Commencement Day, the exercises of which, impressive and beautiful, were entirely under the control of the class. They were held on the Campus, and not only the members of our own class, but all of our under classmen, enjoyed them to the fullest extent “This, with a few disappointments and many interesting and happy events ended my three years' course at Millersville. This is the story of the Granddaughter's Normal days. —Rt'TH j. Bovr.K. 164 The Senior’s Reverie In my window idly sitting. On a morning bright and fair; Thinking of the world of duties.

His coat was off, his vest apart. 11 is aspect most forlorn, And from its roots his long moustache Had been in anguish torn. In accents loud and deep he cursed The day that he was born.

Mingled with maledictions deep, Which made my blood run cold, Did this pitiful wreck of a Senior This dreadful tale unfold.

I shall never forget the dismay with which I was seized one day when a classmate suggested that he cut me off. It appears that I was a disadvantage to him in his recital. Oh, you didn’t hear about that, did you? He was to be “leading man” in the Seniors’ play, and a star he was. How he thrilled the hearts of the maidens fair ! Poor me, alas, alack; he followed the boys’ suggestion, and after bidding me an affectionate farewell consigned me to the tomb of my ancestors, for I was not his first love. And now I pass my days in rest and quiet. I never knew the meaning of those two words until I was removed from Macklev. I must confess, though, that 1 miss the continual roaring of that cannon over whose mouth I lived and had my being. I never shall hear any more of the ravings divine, mixed with curses sublime, uttered by a man in his prime, at any old time. 74 Under the Shade j j 1.

The one of these which will linger longest in the minds and hearts of all members of the class of 1909, is the one that took place in the Normal Chapel on Saturday evening, December 5. 1908. Coming, as it did, just when the stiring deeds of our gridiron warriors were dying out of the mind, and during the lull in our school life, which precedes the basket ball season, this final entertainment given by the class of 1909 was a great success. The doors were thrown open about seven o'clock, and it was gratifying to the heart of every senior to see in the throng, that clogged the entrance to the chapel. Teachers, Seniors. Middlers and Juniors, all struggling to get inside and expressing in one breath their admiration for the decorations The first feature of the program was introduced as the Sketching Contest,” in which every person received a piece of paper containing a name and was to sketch the person cor responding to the name. This was an excellent device to get the crowd moving, and by the hum that soon filled the chapel it was evident that every person was having a fine time. Miss Iva Wood proved to be the best artist by making a sketch of Dr. Mull, our mathematical teacher, and won the prize for 1910. The next feature was the play, entitled, Farce Talent Wanted.” which proved very delightful to the crowd, judging 176 from the storms of applause that were given. This play was carried through mainly by Robert Hummer and his two sisters, represented by Marguerite Dolphin and Marion Blackstone. They decided to organize a play and advertised their company by announcing through the newspaper that talented persons were wanted. Soon applicants began to flock in apparently from all parts of the world, and ranging all the way from a fat formal Frenchman to a little Dutchman eating “Sauer Kraut and Speck, each giving a sample of his or her ability, and was then told to he seated to await further attention. The stream of applicants was so incessant that those who applied first became weary and impatient from waiting so long, and for a few minutes there was a general mixup, from which Mr. Hummer and his sisters escaped with their lives only by the liberal handing out of money. Just as every person was recovering from the throes of mirth caused by the play, the stately march of sixteen seniors ap peared; each representing a well-known historical character: after putting themselves on exhibition for a few minutes on the rostrum, they broke ranks and mingled with the crowd. The suspense of the contestants did not last long, for in a short time it was announced that the contest was awarded to Miss Hazel MacXichols for having the right names attached to the highest number of characters in the march; thereby giving 1910 another well-earned prize. Time passed rapidly amid these surroundings and influences, and many a bashful youth was pouring his favorite stories or a narration of some adventure of his into the attentive ear of his first girl, when Miss Landes mounted the rostrum and announced that the time had come to depart; slowly and reluctantly the crowd melted away to their rooms, each feeling very much better for having been entertained by the class of 1909.

And the sound goes slowly, clearly Through the tranquil air of morning. All the students hear the bell ring, Hear the distant sound ascending, To ascend is what it tells them; And the young braves to the maidens Say “ You hear it ? there the bell rings; By the signal from afar off, He. our Principal, the mighty, Calls the students into chapel. 178 Lo! behold, the room is filling. First a single line of walkers, Then a denser bunch approaches, Like the climax of a river. As it moves on growing grander. Ever rising, rising, rising. 'Till it touches the top of Heaven; For behold the Seniors enter. Enter there with serious faces, Frivolous thoughts all far. far from them. Far out in the other classes; And the session starts with worship. Worship and a little lecture, Lectures he, Doc” Lyte. our chieftain. vShall I tell you how the day speeds; How the bell rings for all classes? Each half hour draws nearer noon sun, ’Till at last we reach the mid-day. Ah. how welcome then the bell-ring. For it bids us go to dinner. All the school is tired and famished. Hunger is the air around us, Hunger is the sky above us, And the hungry sun in heaven, Like a starving wolf glares at us. Then how soon we strike the feast room. Xot. alas to banish hunger, Do we eat our well done dinners. Pumpkin pies for hungry students, (That's the name the Faculty calls them) Stale mush pies, there comes a murmur, From one lovely Minnehaha, Shudders as she looks upon it, Shudders at the hope it gives her; O, the wasting of the famine. O. the blasting of the fever, 79 (). the wailing of the children O. the anguish of the Seniors! Ah! once more the silvery clamors Ah! once more the gentle summons. He. our Principal, the mighty. Summons us again to classes, Summons us again to study. Hut I really would not leave you, Leave you this dark picture always. Leave you rather this my children, This a poet, or an author, or a somebody else has told you While there is life there is yet some—some hope left.

Dutch The Wise Man v w v There is a man in our class And lie is wondrous wise, He often goes into the “store,” But never, never buys. He wore a very cute moustache That dignified the place, I'ntil one day a Middler bold Advised a “ hair cut at the face.” He does not smoke, he does not drink, This man so wondrous wise; But think you not lie’s free from vice, His luck at cards he tries. At hauseupfefTer he’s a “shark; ” A reckless plunger he, He’d have a “ brainstorm if he won, To win is such a rarity. Scotch Irish blood flows in his veins, Enough to justify The ringilistic tendency His fiery looks imply. Before he had his breakfast once, He licked a Middler tall. The victim, scared almost to death, For mercy had to bawl. He thought the Model School had tried His shining light to dim, Went on the strike for High School work, No baby class for him. “ I’ll teach the subject that I want. Or none at all,” said he, “ Experienced teachers such as I You do not often see.” O Mac. you are a funny “cuss,” The Sage of Millersville. As Nineteen Nine’s “tradition, You completely “ fill the bill ” 188 Mary and Her Little Lamb jt K Canto I. Mary had a little lamb, And Charley was his name. Whenever Mary took a walk The lamb would do the same. Mary asked her little lamb To teach her how to skate. The little lamb perforce agreed, Obedience is his trait. At early morn they sallied forth To try the jolly sport; The lamb was anything but pleased, To have his sleep cut short. Howe’er he meekly bowed to fate, Not his to reason why, Not his, his mistress’ wish to question, His, but to do or die. Now Mary weighs one hundred eighty, Her lamb a half ton less, What happened on the ice that day Would not be hard to guess. Mary lost her equilibrium, The lamb let out a bleat, For Mary just to save herself, Had used him for a seat. You'd know how Lambie felt that day Nor wonder he looked sick, If you were ever in your life beneath a ton of brick. 189 Canto II. Mary had a little lamb With which she used to walk, This little lamb could run and jump And sometimes laugh and talk. She walked him off to school one day, And there while Mary worked She guarded him quite carefully So his lessons he never shirked. One day, alas! did Mary find Her lamb had learned to smoke, And many a thought went through her mind How she could tell her folk. But a kind school-mate soothed her grief, And bade her fear no ill. That this was just a little crime Boys learned at Millersville. Said another, “ Mary, now don't weep. He's only a boy you know. Don’t sit and worry and lose your sleep, It will help to make him grow.” But Mary thought, and thought, and thought, And pitied Charlie so. And the loving sister that she was She let the matter go. Now always after 4 I M If you will just watch out, Kind sister Mary you will see Walking her lamb about. Lecturing him on the smoking habit, Charles her little lamb. Now, Mary, don't be angry a bit, Or take this joke as a slam. 190 Its Mission THOU little book shall ever be, Filled with fondest memory. OUT of your pages in years to come. I shall be lifted from thoughts so glum. UNDER the darkest clouds that rise, You can bring a glad surprise. COULD we always be like thee. Full of mirth and jollity. HOW the sorrows then would fly, As a lark soars to the sky. SONGS of cheer, and words of jest, These we find are thy behest. THEN may we not a lesson take. And be jolly for thy sake ON our way through life we need, Fruit, which grows from out thy seed. NOW we trust thy mission's filled, For dark brooding thou hast killed. EVEN now in sleep I find Better rest and peace of mind. iyl Bknj. FI. Hej.i.er. Millersville Vernacular j jt Sociable.—(i) A name applied to a popular form of amusement here. Amusement consists in letting the boys look at the girls for a few minutes. But, O deluded one, do not think that you are to become acquainted or to associate with any fair one. The Grand High Mogul himself has expressly decreed that “boys may not meet girls unless introduced by the proper authorities, meaning said Grand High Mogul. It is further decreed that sociables are not held for the purpose “of us becoming acquainted with each other, but for the purpose of having a good time.” Sociables are chiefly conspicuous for their absence from the regular course. (2) Name given to functions frequently held in Room II. I’sually a very select company is present It is considered quite an honor to be one of the invited guests. Cinch.—This word is syuoiiomous with “ Pipe ” and means that someone or something is easy. It also means “sure thing. For instance it's a “cinch that Keen can eat more than any one else in the class, or that Hipp Gilbert wasn’t down to breakfast. Sf 'uhl.—Word applying to the rhetorical and grammatical flow of language that Ben Heller makes in Method Class. It is not at all necessary to know anything about the subject in order to make a spiehl. Merely get up and talk fluently for about eight minutes. Ben’s limit is fifteen. Stung.—Everyone has experienced this condition to a more or less degree, so it is unnecessary to define the meaning of tlifc word. We are frequently “stung in grammar class when we fail to recite according to “our author. 192 Snapping.—This term, we think, is peculiar to Millersville. The word is of doubtful origin, and in meaning is synonomous with ‘casing,” fussing.” sneaking,” etc. Needless to say, this sport is indulged in by both sexes. The open season for Snappers extends from Sept. 4th to June 27th. During pleasant weather the Snappers may be seen roaming about the campus or sunning themselves on the banks of the Conestoga. This species can easily be distinguished by the fact that they invariably roam in pairs, and fade away at the approach of teachers. Despite the untiring efforts of the Faculty to bring about the extinction of the species. Snappers seem as numerous as ever. Cut.—Synonomous with bag” and means absenting oneself from class for any cause short of paralysis or death. Cuts” are usually associated with made to order headaches, toothaches, nosebleeds, sore feet, meeting father in town, missed the car. etc. Revelation.—A pet name applied by Dr. Hull to an examination in mathematics. The term revelation is used because we reveal our supreme ignorance, not only to the Dr., but also to ourselves. Revelations are generally preceded by a warning or a direful prophecy. Harvest Time.—Found in the vocabulary of Dr. Hull. It is a polite way of saying that the intelligent will be gathered in and given their reward, while the ignorant pass on and are flunked.” Judgment Day. Another favorite expression of Dr. Hull's. In meaning it is somewhat synonomous with Revelation and Last Supper.” Judgment Day frequently refers to that little formality conducted by the State Board of Examiners, who hold our destinies in the hollow of their hands. Last Supper in the City of Jerusalem.— Another Biblical expression used frequently by Dr. Hull. Synonymous Judgment Day.” Translated freely, it means that we have our last chance to pass a subject. Immaturity. —It is a fact to be deplored that we have so many immature ” students here. ” Immaturity refers to our inability to conduct ourselves properly under unusual circumstances, such as sociables, which are especially unusual. Ac- 193 cording to one authority on the subject, “ Immaturity can easily be detected by the following symptoms:—the tendency of students of the opposite sex to associate in pairs ; loafing at the stores ; unseemly noise at ball games ; a disposition to read novels of the day instead of “ Dynamic Factors in Education or some equally interesting work. Slunk'$ Lane.—This is an obsolete term heard only among the older students. The oldest inhabitants, however, still remember a time when students used to assemble in large numbers in this now almost forgotton place. This lane was once infested, not only by students, but also by stray professors and “harmless little dogs.” These latter oftimes struck terror to the hearts of timid students. With the passing of Shenk's Lane we have en tered upon a new epoch in the social life of the school. Hans.''—This refers to that mild and harmless amusement, Mausenpfeffer. The game is indulged in by both sexes. One of the chief qualifications of a good “ bans’’ player is that he. or she, be able to stack the cards skillfully and conscientiously. A complete code of signals is also necessary. Those wishing to obtain a knowledge of the game should consult Drumm and Brenner, who consider themselves the highest authorities on the subject. Stunt.—A name given to any spectacular feat. The more original and difficult it is, the better. For further information we refer you to I). P.’s entertaining little book, entitled “Mow I Climbed the Balcony Post. To those interested we would state that this book will soon be followed by another, entitled “ Mow to Spend a Vacation on .Short Notice,” written by the same author. Proper SpinI.—This expression is most frequently heard among the student body. It is sometimes attributed to those who do something which others would like to do were they not lacking in “nerve.” Students still enjoy the social advantages of the store however, despite the “Non-Intercourse Act” passed by the faculty. Hot Air.—This kind of air is extremely common about here. 194 owing to the large number of human phenomena. Hot air is so abundant that in some cases it is used for heating purposes, thus saving fuel. For instance, the Science Building being poorly heated by the ordinary means, I)r. Bitner conceived the idea of raising the temperature of the room by gathering a lot of students together and letting them attempt to recite. If. at the beginning of a period, the thermometer registered 45° F., before the end of the period the temperature would invariably be above 70° F. Thus we see that the plan was quite successful. Owing to the fact that the rooms were colder in the morning than at any other time, it was arranged to have a psychology class recite at eight a. m., the Middlers being especially valuable for heating purposes. In our own class Mackley is thought to have the highest average, he is credited with being able to contribute enough hot air” to raise the temperature one degree for every minute he recites. He undoubtedly has excellent talent along this line, and we arc thinking of offering him a leather medal. “ You would no wish your sister to do so. —What you are told when you are called into the office to consult the Oracle. It is a handy expression to have about the house and is much used. Ginswizzled An inelegant expression in the vocabulary of a tall Senior from Ephrata, or vicinity. It takes the place of a ‘‘cuss” word, but has anything but a white ribbon sound. Gosh Hanged.—Imported from Lebanon county. Has a de- • cidedly rural sound and is a wholly uncivilized expression. Third Tarty.—There is an old adage saying that “two are a couple and three a crowd.” There are indications that the Dr. himself was once young, for he heartily disapproves of “third parties,” as the disinterested persons are called. However, “third parties” make the most desirable of chaperons. The duty of the “ third party ” consists in keeping a sharp lookout for wandering professors who so far forget themselves as to see things other than the beauties of nature. For further information see “Snapping ” Tony.—Synonymous with “trot,” “crib,” “horse. etc. Sometimes familiarly called “Student's Bible.” No self respect- 95 ing Middler would be without a Caesar “ pony;” in other words, interlinear. But since we became Seniors we have put away childish things and have bequeathed our “ponies” to our less fortunate brethren. Some students prefer to ride their '' pony ” in the privacy of their rooms, while others, more venturesome, “trot” boldly into the class room and hitch their “ponies” close by, so as to be ready for any emergency. Ponies, however gentle and reliable they may appear, are treacherous beasts, and likely to throw their riders at any time. Those animals sired by Hinds Xoble are said to give the best satisfaction to all concerned. Although there are various breeds of “ponies” here, Latin “ponies” seem to thrive best in this climate, However, our advice to new students is that they not attempt to purchase “ ponies ” in the book-room, as it might prove embarrassing. So long ! Get up. old boss, what do I feed you for ? Blow out of here. —So far as we know, this expression is confined to the boys' building. It is a rather impolite way of saying that your presence is requested elsewhere. The expression is synonymous with “ Beat it,” which is also a gentle hint. Bum.—This word may be applied to (i) anything. Is synonymous with “on the blink,” and in meaning is the exact opposite of good. For instance we make a “ bum ” mark in Latin, our breakfast may be “bum” or we may “feel on the bum.” (2) Bum also is used in a sense meaning to ” meander” or wander about aimlessly. Get Wise.—Taken literally this is used in a sense meaning to gain information concerning anyone or anything. For instance, the Faculty try to “ get wise ” to all the happenings among the student body. Illustration—The students “got wise” to the social advantages of Room R, and the Faculty “ got wise ” to the fact that the students were “wise” to the social advantages of Room R. See? “ O, Fudge. —A strictly feminine expression used sometimes when occasion demands as a substitute for stronger and less elegant language. 196 “ Cut it out. —Is a forcible way of saying don't, quit, stop, abstain, refrain, cease, etc I’sed alike by Faculty and students. r.xam.—This word means examination and is synonymous with Hades, Infernal Regions, Purgatory, fire, sulphur, brimstone, or anything you may think of. “ Exams” call forth the best efforts of the ' Amalgamated Trotters' Association.” To refuse to become a member of this association is fatal to your best interests. See “Judgment Day,” “Last Supper in the City of Jerusalem,” etc. ‘ You Mustn't Talk to Me. —This is the manner in which girl students are supposed to discourage boy students who talk to them on the campus. The expression is endorsed and approved by the Faculty, but is little ussd.

Ye have all made his acquaintance at this blessed refuge of the Pious. Coming to us at an early age from that ancient hamlet of Quarryville, he became at once distinguished by his manly and heroic qualities. All through his Junior and Middler years he was constantly succoring ladies in distress, saying to himself that, should occasion arise, he. even he, would risk his life by climbing one of the balcony posts to offer first aid to the injured. But the climax came in his .Senior year; and it is with that fateful Philadelphia trip, which, by the way, was one of extreme peril and danger, that my sad, sad story has to deal. Some time before the Christmas pilgrimage of the penitent orders were issued by the Grand Mogul that no escorts were to be furnished to the Nuns by the Monks through the long and perilous journey. There it was that the lofty soul of our hero revolted at the tyranny of his ruler. Resolving to do or die, he at once offered his services to the fair maiden, who, needless to say, was more than delighted, and of course accepted. It was on the 23d of December, 1908, in the reign of Oram I.. The morn dawned bright and clear, and by ten the plans of our hero and heroine were complete. The time of departure is stamped indelibly on our minds. Precisely at 12:55 the long caravan started and Don Quoxite was embarked on the journey, whose consequences have been so dire and far reaching (for him). 99 Having been told by a friend that somewhere on the way there was a dark and dangerous cavern to be passed through, he made preparations accordingly. This cavern is nothing but a tunnel lying between Philadelphia and Wilmington. But by some oversight Don Quoxite was told that it lay between Lancaster and Philadelphia. Now, gentle reader, bear this in mind and you have the key to our whole parable. All was going well, when suddenly darkness descended upon the enraptured couple. The wildest cries broke forth. There were babblings and inurmurings. No one could tell the cause. The questions flew from lip to lip—what has happened? Has anyone been hurt ? Is murder being done? Still the cries continued. It seemed as if some lost soul was descending into Hades and rebelling against its punishment. All words except “ No,” which was horribly screamed several times, were hushed in the awful stillness that followed. Something terrible had happened—the car had come into the light. Then everything was explained to the awe stricken passengers. Our heroine, as soon as the culvert (for it was nothing else) had obscured the daylight, became frightened, and from all supposition, tried to leap from the car. Don Quoxite, arising to the occasiou, foiled this daring and dangerous impulse by enclosing her in the iron clasp of his massive arms. He reasoned thuslv: If succeeded in carrying out her murderous plan, she would be dead to the world forever. For, if once lost in that dark and noisome cavern, she would surely perish. Accordingly, thinking that it was the cavern (tunnel) they were traversing, he continued to hold her safe and secure despite her horrified protests of No! No! No! The cause for our heroine’s perturbation was disclosed in a few seconds. (She had been over the route before and knew that the cavern (tunnel) lay beyond Philadelphia. She also knew that this darkness was too good to last.) The car burst into broad daylight. Imagine if you can, the confusion, the excitement that followed. Don Quoxite was so startled by the sudden appearance of the sun, that, instead of releasing his prisoner as soon as all danger 200 was over, only tightened his embrace. The passengers, not knowing the excitable disposition of the lady, were naturally mystified concerning the cause; surprised at the first look; amused when it continued; until at last a roar went around the whole car. This served to awaken Don Quoxite to the realization of his condition. Immediately relaxing his embrace he tried to explain the why and the wherefore to the other travellers so as to prevent any misundersta ding. But how were they to know the exact circumstance? How were they to know that the embraces were not premeditated and intentional, but due solely to the prompt ings of an heroic nature ? Leaving this last question to be solved by you. readers of ti e “Touchstone of 1909. I bring the account of the adventures of Don Quoxite (W. A. Gilbert) to a close. Moral: Don Quoxite. always find out the exact locations of tunnels before taking a journey and then your actions will not be misunderstood. I). S. 1J. 201 A BIT 0 FAME ToTHF NEW STUDENT. What They Tried to Do J y Tlie Middlers in the dead of night Lie dreaming of the hour When Juniors, taught to fear their might. Should tremble at their power. A stealthy step along the hall. A whisper at each door, With quaking hearts they hear the call. That summons them to war. 'Tis then these desperadoes hold Are seized with sudden fright, A flag—the Purple and the Gold. Floats proudly in the night. 0 horrors, if it floats ’till morn! No Middler wants to fight. But panic-stricken and forlorn They think of instant flight At last they ask for volunteers, The bravest of the class; The “ Mystic Seven ” hide their fears. And down the dark halls pass. What if one Junior guards the flag. Or gives a war-whoop loud ? The Middlers' steps begin to lag. They huddle in a crowd. 203 But all is still this winter night, 'I'he flag waves overhead; They get a ladder strong but light. By greed for honor led. Then he, of red moustache so famed, Ascends the dizzy height. Heroic son of nineteen ten! () what a thrilling sight! At last his hands the trophy seize, The fearful task is done, The Middlers breathe more at their ease. Then grab the flag and run. Back to their strongholds creep the bold, The sons of nineteen ten. They laugh aloud when they are told, That flag will float again. While they at breakfast table sit. These awe-inspiring men, The Junior class again sees lit To score on nineteen ten. The Middlers gaze up in dismay, For once no longer bold, Above them floating out so gay. 'I'he Purple and the Gold. The battle cry by Juniors led Rings out so clear and free. A Middler took one look and said “ This is no place for me.” 204 They walk right out and turn around, And walk right in again; They make a fuss but tis all sound, These sons of nineteen ten The Junior flag hangs out all day, The Middlers make no move. “The Faculty objects,” they say, “ Or we'd our courage prove. 205 EVOLUTION OF THE ICECREA N CONE 1 + Class Alphabet j j A Is for A lie man, our sisters so fair, With musical talent, and black curly hair.

V There was a little Bunny That graced a candy stand, It pleased the eye of one young lady And soon was in her hand. She had an object kind and generous, A purpose good and true; She wished to make a present. Now, who can guess her cue? For when a maiden's tempted To do a kindly deed, She acts alone on impulse And to reason pays no heed. In tissue paper, most delicate, This Bunny did repose, No part of him was evident But his cunning little nose. Vet with this nose so saucy He scented not his end, For with a dispatch most urgent The lady got him ready for her friend. The distance to be covered Was not so very long, So Bunny reached his owner Quicker than we could sing a song. 209 He had a fine reception, But the owner could not hold his joys; 1-Ie carried Bunny about And showed him to the boys. ’Till one, a nice young man, With very best intent, But who had not as yet With the story of Bunny been “ acquent, And thinking not of tender meaning Or who the possible owner Or stopping to further question Who the possible donor. With one vicious bite The head of Bunny he devoured. The owner was so grieved, His sorrow so profound, His grief could not be greater; Had his sweetheart, Minnie, to him been drowned. 210 The Flight of School jt There are trials we must conquer, If success we wish to win; When the life at school departs, And we catch the fiery darts, As they come so thick or thin. Though we know that life is stronger. When these trials do begin; Vet we wish that we might be, Back in school, happy and free, Where there’s nothing hard to win. There’s a beauty that has left us. And we sigh for it in vain, As we see the happy youth, Strolling round the learning's booth, But tis never ours again. Bknj. H.

Everything was quiet and the man in the moon, looking intently into my face through the window, was the only thing in sight Why had I been thus rudely, suddenly awakened? As is usually the case, my senses were keenly alert and I lay there listening intently —for I had a premonition of a strange adventure about to occur. After a while I heard a gentle sigh, then a twitter, and then a giggle, so close they seemed to be uttered at my shoulder. 1 turned cautiously but saw nothing. Again I heard the noise this time a hearty laugh, and now it seemed to have been emitted by someone outside the window. I raised myself to my elbow and listened. Yes, someone was tapping at the pane. Carefully I raised the window. You may imagine my surprise when that huge hr tree on the campus told me this story of bravery (?) he had witnessed. •' Yes he began, “ it happened last June, on the night before Commencement. I thought there was something in the air by the way those Juniors came out and so wisely looked me over, an 1 the way that village man tried to hurt my feelings, by pinching my skin. Well that night, about twelve o’clock, that man climbed up my sides and put an imitation llag on one of my branches. I found out later that they had paid him a dollar and a half to do it Wonder where they got the money ! Those Juniors then got around me in a body, and hooted and yelled like Indians at the Middlers. trying to entice them out. 216 “ Those Middlers were too wise for them, though. They had been out all night and were patrolling the campus in groups of twos and threes. You wonder why they didn’t face the Juniors? How in the world were a mere handful of them to hope to win out against the whole Junior class, re inforced by Seniors and graduates since 1875, and the Model School youngsters and Babies who may enter the school in 1S20? The Faculty evidently feared that the children would be hurt, for they turned out to a man to witness the spectacle. “The Juniors played a shabby trick on one of the Middlers They hit him on the head and attempted to throw him into the lake, but he was rescued in time by his comrades. But the funniest part of the story is the way they got their tlag down. About half-past five in the morning all of them assembled around my feet and one of them relieved me of my burden. There was not a Middler insight—save some of the girls who had strolled out on the campus to see the fun—but those Juniors broke into the wildest goose chase I ever saw and rushed right into the building with that precious flag. Ha' ha! ha! But that was funny. Jokes j jt One on the Middlers Mr. Strai’Ghn told his Middler Class in rhetoric that they should outline “ Brewster’s Essay on Style.'

Sh - - - w Jl (A Tragedy Time.—Study period. 8:30 1 . m. Place.—Second Hall. Atmosphere.—Quite redolent with study. Plot. To create excitement. Chief Characters.—“ Mack,” a rat. some high in authority, a number of usually peaceful citizens, a raging mob. There was extreme quite prevailing everywhere. Every person was working on the difficulties that would confront them the next day. The hall guard had just made his round. All was pronounced well, when suddenly from the Center Hall came a strong, sharp voice. “ Hey!” “ Bring a broom!” ” Here’s a rat! ” ” He’s behind the radiator.” ” I filled the hole with paper, he can’t get back.” Bring your broom, we’ll chase him out and --” Just then there was the sound of hurried steps and the citizens began to approach, to find out what the commotion was about. Finally, a few had, true to the summons, brought their brooms with them, began stirring, to rouse the rat from his place of hiding. In this they were soon successful, as Mr. Rat ran from his place of concealment right into the mob, who were not knowing whether to expect one or not, and so again succeeded in making his escape. All this commotion finally brought a mob from first and third floors, who were unable to be controlled. To add to the consternation the authorities from the executive 232 mansion also approached, drawn thither by the confusion. A few of the timid ones started to flee, but the chase went on; now the rat was here and now there, continually running over some person’s feet. But against such odds even a rat chase can not last long, and soon overcome by fright at sight of so large a number of the enemy his heart was affected just as he was about to make his escape and he dropped over dead. Disappointed at so little excitement every person turned and went quietly back to work. And the rat was gently laid to rest beneath the covers of some poor unexpecting one’s bed, there to frighten him when, after the lights were out, he should sleepily go to rest. 233 State Board of Examiners 1917 J v V H.

Now for a mad search all over the place. For I’ll find a match in somebody’s case ! So down old fourth hall he slowly bore, Tapping and shouting at every door, I ley, fellow, got a stray match ? If the answer came No the door shut with a crash. Then on down the hall he went thundering and humming, And the preps all wondered whatever was coming ; So gallantly our hero his suit he did press, That we couldn’t help thinking he’d meet with success. But he persevered, till he came to three seventy-nine, And the much sought match at last he did find. He took the light with many thanks, And gave the cigarette three hasty yanks. Then back to the fourth hall he wended his way, Feeling contented, happy and gay. As he reclined on a cot in four seventy-seven, He began to have dreams he was well nigh to heaven.

After roaming about for some time without any success in this most famous of all sports, he finally decided that he would give up this crude pass-time and the attempt of catching large game, and instead would quietly settle himself by the side of some good stream of water and with rod and line see what he would do among the finny life. After having lost all trace of him for several years, and not knowing whether I should ever have the pleasure of meeting him again, it is little wonder that I should forget him; inasmuch as that my mind was called to other duties. Hut one day while strolling along the beautiful stream of the Conestoga, in the vicinity of M illersville, how surprised I was to see on the bank of the stream in the clearing just ahead of me the form of my once old-time friend. Eager to speak to him I hurried my pace, but as I drew nearer I saw he was all absorbed in the playful and loving antics of a beautiful Minnie, whom he had just caught. So I quietly passed on wishing them both a happy life. Moral.—There is more than one way of securing your success in life. 247 We Wonder Why— j j ; 1.

He referred us to the boys who told the following story: Me and him (indicating themselves) and Ben were strolling down a street in Kutz-town after the game, and a girl passed us, with her arm around her kid brother. Gee, said Ben, soliloquizing for the girl’s benefit, I wish that arm were around me. Come here. quoth the fair, (?) young (?) maid. Our hero, nothing loath, in fact, rather anxiously went. The girl immediately placed her arm where Ben desired to have it, he doing likewise, and together they went strolling down the street. For further particulars apply to Dave, or Walt, or Ben, or, best of all, to the girl herself. What will tht widow say ?—Report t • - H. K 240 Autobiography of a “Sarpint” v v« 1 VAS born one day in May, I think, yes, I know it was the twenty-sixth day. I enjoyed life from the moment I lived. Many and odd were the places I investigated that day, and after a while, when the pretty silver moon gave me light. I made my way to the high road leading from Millersville to Lancaster. 1 heard afar off the most glorious rhaspodies and lay there entranced. The sound became clearer and clearer as the singers approached. And then—was the beginning of the end. One of the singers espied me. and most rudely lifted me by my tail. How the girls did flee from me! The ' preacher” found a paper-bag—nasty thing—and into this 1 was plunged. Then he put me into a dark dungeon, called a coat-pocket I believe and there he kept me until 2 a. m. Why so long a time ? Oh, he stayed in Lancaster so very late. He always does—so do they all of them. The next day I again saw the sunlight—but, alas, for the last time. I was deposited on a hard dirty lloor and when I attempted to express my joy at being liberated a brutal heel bruised my head. I was sore, afraid to move and lay quietly till I saw a lady approach. Thinking her to be my guardian angel, I crawled toward her, when—all became a black darkness. S.
