Dedication if To Our Estkemed Professor, George W. Hull, A. M., Fh. I)., Who has always been the true and loyal friend to the student, both in prosperity and in adversity, we, the Beard of Editors, respectfully dedicate this ‘‘Touchstone,” our handiwork, as a token of the highest appreciation. VI.1H .w aovoxo I I I T O U C H S T () N E George W. Hull The ancestors of Dr. Hull on the paternal side were German, and on the maternal side were French. His grand-father, John Hull, was a carpenter by trade and resided most of his life in Stras-burg, Lancaster County. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, and was the father of seven sons—John, Adam. Joseph, George, Levi, Henry, David. George Hull, our subject’s father, was a man of sterling qualities and strong convictions. In politics he was first a Whig, and later a Republican. He died when I)r. Hull was in his eighth year, hence the training of our subject fell largely to his mother, a woman of great piety and marked executive ability. She lived for her children and gave each the elements of a splendid character and the rich legacy of a beautiful example. Dr. Hull was born September 16, 1852, at Strasburg. He attended the public and high schools of that place, graduating from the latter at the age of eighteen years. In 1871 he entered the elementary class of this school. He graduated in the regular course in 1S74-, and the scientific course in 1875. On account of his excellent character, rare ability and teaching qualities, he was, immediately, chosen assistant Professor of Mathematics at this Normal School. He held this position until 1882, when he resigned to accept the position of Superintendent of the Huntington Public Schools. He was educated in the school of Dr. Edward Brooks, author of Brooks’ series of Mathematics, and he inherited from his maternal grandfather, Chaney Pelen, his talent in this direction. The authorities of this school, feeling that they could not afford to be without the services of so excellent a teacher, recalled him in 1883 as head of the department of Mathematics, which position he 4- T O U C H S T O N E is still holding. In 1885 he took the post-graduate courses in the University of Illinois, Bloomington, III., and received the degrees A.M. and Ph.D. Then, heeding the call of the church to assist men in leading better lives, he decided to make valuable use of the few spare minutes that he may find by studying the gospel, so he took the regular lines of study prescribed bv the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in 1885 was ordained a minister of that denomination by Bishop Warren, of the Quaker City. Though Dr. Hull has never accepted a regular charge, he has done considerable preaching and is a very influential member of the denomination. He is a very staunch supporter and an active member of our school Y. M. C. A. We have, at all times, found him ready and willing to do anything in his power to assist in the good work of the Association. He has frequently led our Sunday morning and the Sunday evening prayer meetings and has always enthused us with his stirring words. He is an active member of the V. W. C. T. U. and has strong convictions on the subject of temperance, and has made this the theme of some of his best lectures. He has, both by precept and example, been influential in causing hundreds of students who have attended this Normal School to make more valuable use of their time, to lead better lives and to prepare themselves to do better than “to board around and furnish their own fuel for thirteen dollars per month.” Dr. Hull is widely known, especially among teachers. For many years he has been a lecturer at county institutes in all parts of this State and adjoining States and has far more demands upon his time than he can possibly fill. He lectures on Mathematics and various other general educational topics. That he is an expert mathematician and a capable teacher is proven by the fact that he has published by the American Book Company the following text books on Mathematics: Mental Arithmetic, Elementary Arithmetic, Complete Arithmetic, Elementary Algebra, Complete Algebra, and Plane and Solid Geometry. All of these books are widely used in public schools, high schools and normal schools in many parts of the United States. More than half a million are now in use. AugustT. 1880,he married Miss Anna, only daughter of Thomas 5 T () U C II S T O N E Hamblcton, of Bucks County. Pa., and they have six children: Anna May, Arthur H., Horace M., George K., Ruth S. and Charles Wesley. Dr. Hull is held in very high esteem, both as a man and as a teacher, by the bovs and girls of this school, and is one of the most popular members of the Faculty. In testimony whereof, we, the Class of 1910, have unanimously decided to dedicate to him this work. T () U C H S T O N E Proface In preparing this, the eleventh volume of the Touchstone, we have tried to give to the Alumni, our parents, friends of this school, and the remaining classes, a record of the events and pleasantries of our Senior year, and to give to that large host of boys and girls who are considering attending this school a true picture of normal life, including both its pleasures and its difficulties. From the time of the organizing of our class at the beginning of the Junior year we have had the interests and welfare of Millersville Normal at heart. While guided by our motto, “Desire to Do Well.” we have striven to make this era the brightest and most prosperous that this school has ever experienced. We have enrolled in our class men and women who have been a rank and a power in every phase of Normal life. By reading this book you will learn of the marvelous successes we have made in class-room work, athletics, society and religious affairs. We trust that as time rolls on and finds the members of this class grown old and gray from the exercises of the different occupations they may be engaged in. and finds them turning again and again the leaves of this book, that it may bring back to them fond thoughts and remembrances of their good old normal days, and that it may ever keep fresh and new before their minds the faces of their classmates and Normal friends. We trust that every reader will consider the nature of the work he is reading and will prove himself a lilxrral thinker bv believing that the matter herein published is presented with no feeling of malice or animosity. Though we are prepared to parry all possible attacks, yet we hope and pray that our efforts and words will Ik received in the same kindly manner in which they are given and, if so, our book will till its mission. In conclusion, we wish to thank all who have in any way helped to make this book a success. We are, The Editors. ■v touchstone JB J:x itoRS t- KQa XL£ (9A o£ -y-—s syv - cSvit , Q. £x(z ovo+o-cJiclJt' (LU usAlV- tul '?

'• Me is nn honest hard working boy.” “Wullic i- the only male representative in our class who hails from the village. And what a representative he is! His only glaring faults are: his quick temper, which very often get-away from him; a “peculiar pose he often assumes; and his tendency to he near a certain girl of his class. He is the ring-leader of the village “crowd. Whenever any of the school fellows want a village girl they always call on “ Wallic, who i- ever willing to lend his aid. Here he seem- to have a great “pull, for he generally manage- to get any fellow “in that he wants to Millersville should he proud of “ Wallic, anil should appreciate Inin now, for his days in Millersville arc numbered. It i- impo—ihle to suppose that he can resist the callings of “ Be 11 wood long after his graduation. Rt’Tii BaNKRS. .... Middleport, Pa. Page—Editing Board—Y. W. C. A. Cabinet-Class Secretary. A beautiful girl with a noble character.'' This young Miss comes from Middleport. She first entered the Normal in the fall of 1907. and at once became one of its best known ami most popular -tu-deut-. She i-an accomplished pianist, und ha- faithfully served the Page Society in this cupacity. In teaching, although we hardly expect her to follow the profession, she has already made her mark. Another side of Ruth's character is brought out in her Y. W. C. A. work, she being always ready and ever active with some work for the organization. She is one of our very studious girls, a- her class records show, hut vet find- plenty of time for all social affairs. Ruth's Senior year has been rather quiet and uneventful compared with her Middle year—an Alumni pin and an occasional visitor from Harrisburg tcll-the reason why. In conclusion we join in wishing this loyal supporter of the Brown ami Gold success. 30 Mary A. Hard, Leacock, Pn. Page. 11 otic it labor wears a lovely face.” The year 191)6 brought to us a very quiet and unassuming individual in the person of Mary. As all will make mistakes, we must not censure Mary for affording sonic amusement in Latin class, one day, by telling us about the victuals (vitals) of the Republic. There are a few names, however, such as Iiarold and Donald, which, though they have frequently passed Mary’s lips, were never heard mispronounced bv her: perhaps because no silent letters appear in them. Nevertheles, Mary is a sincere girl, not too serious ami dignified; perhaps a trifle bashful, but not sufficiently so to fail to perform creditably whatever she is called upon to do. Miners Mills, Pa. Page—Normal, Member of Editing Board. •• Comb down bar bmr, look ! look ! It stands upright on on end. This bouiiie blue-eyed, light-haired lassie comes to us from Miners Mills, but when asked where her home is she always tells you “Wilkes Barre, and explains that Miners Mills is simply the name of a street in the northern j� art of that great city. Klaie is a firm believer in the quotation, “ Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast,” especially when she is listening to a Victor” phonograph or the sweet strains from Mike’s violin, which always touch the strings of her heart. Of her lessons, Elsie U very fond, and is ulwavs known not to put any of her work off until the end of the week, for she is one of our girls that likes to spend her Saturdays and Sundays in Lancaster. We need not more than suggest the attraction. We fear that we will not hear of Elsie, as a teacher, within a few years, but wish her the best of luck in whatever profession she may take up. 31 Lilian N. Bashork. - - Linglestown, l a. Page- I stem to be a little tired, that’s all and long for rest.” Miss Lilian is one of the very pleasant girls of our class. No matter what her feelings have been we have never known her to niter a cross word to anyone. But you know she is very ambitious to become a missionary to China. Her cousin (as she is wont to call him) is preparing for the same noble work, and Lilian says they hope some day to go together to the •‘Celestial Kingdom. That site takes an active | art in all religious services of the school goes without saying. She is a very motherly girl, always dealing out good advice to some of the younger students. Some day we hope to hear of her in the same category with Livingstone and Judson. CURRKNCB B. BKARD. - - Bellwood. l’a. Page. •• Then she will talk—good gods bow she will talk !” Anyone who knows Currie will sec that the above quotation is very appropriate, especially on occasions when she entertains a crowd of girls in a most amusing manner by playing lunatic. She is also of a very lovable disposition, as is shown by the many friends she has won, and by the length of time a certain young man of Millersville has been captivated. They are very fond of cross country walking, and their trips to I incaster, Lititz, Harrisburg and Honey” brook have been numerous. When she leaves Millersville, her friends all fear that it is only a matter of a short time until she returns to live in the little green house up the street. 32 Em .akbtH E. BBard, - • Tamaqua, Pa. Page—Secretary « f Page Society. “Small in nature, but not in mind. Elizabeth, known to most of usas Wopic,” conic to the Normal in the fall of 1907. She is one of our brightest girl and has always proved herself a diligent student. She is one of our basket Istll girls and here she also showed ns her ability by helping us to win the game. ‘‘ Wopie's” interests arc varied and of late we found her very much interested in Lancaster County. Many a time and oft hove we seen her out walking at four o'clock in the afternoon, and, for those who know her best, she has many strange tales to tell. Elizabeth has been known to have indulged in skating, and while engaged in this she has solved some of the most difficult problems of her life. Elizabeth expects to teach many years and we predict a very bright and successful life for her. Delta, Pa. “A dearth of words n woman need not fear. This ••little” girl, who proves the truth of the above quotation, came to Millersvillc from the slate quarries the fall of 1907. She is bright and merry and full of amiable qualities, but. oh, beware her temper! it rises suddenly, sometimes when least expected. You may think the boys are no attraction to Eunice, but there is where you make a mistake. It appears her favorite is a good looking Middler. And what about the time your hat blew off in Lancaster, Eunice, and one of the college fellows rescued it for you. But she is not all fun. she is a good worker in her society, and held the {Kisitiou of critic very successfully. Likewise she is a good teacher, in Model School, and we hope the State will have several years of her scrvice. 33 Amy E. Bfndbr, Ccs-.ua, Pa. Page. “ To see her i to lova her.” This charming young lady is fr«� tn Bedford county. Her pleasing disposition lias marie her a general favorite. “Ben” is the peacemaker of second hall; she calmly tells us, when any dispute arises, that life is too short to love, let alone to quarrel. She is very industrious, and. during her spare moments, makes many pretty things, such as pennants und pillows. Who is the fortunate one? There are few things Ben has not undertaken. Why she has even acted as preacher in several of our mock weddings. Amy sty- she is going to South America as a missionary, but judging from the interest she shows in postal clerks, and in Model School infants, we are afraid she will never see that country unless it is on her wedding tour, or as an inspectress of kindergartens. Ni'.m.ik Book, .... Millersville, Pa. Page. “ For e’en though vanquished she could argue still. This is one of Nellie’s favorite occupations She used to argue with all her teachers in the Model School, and, we are safe in saving, she can argue still Nevertheless, Nellie is a very industrious and studious little girl, and she never neglects her school work for pleasure. Her activity extends in many directions Besides going to school, she spends part of her time in the famous Millvrsville Telephone Exchange Then, too, she i' quite accomplished in the art of dressmaking. Nellie, seemingly, has nothing to do with “cases, as is shown by the fact that she retires before the “lucky guy?” arrives. Keep up your ambitious nature, Nellie, and we predict a bright and successful future for you. 34- March m. Bressi.hr. York. Pa. Page. There Is nothin half so sweet in life as love's young dream. This young lady graduated from York High School in 1906, and. after resting for a time from her strenuous labors, she entered M. S. N. S. in the fall of '08. She is especially gifted in story telling—making them up as she goes. Her principal topic was “Johnny, but, alas! that is now a thing of the past. We might give as an explanation of the change of Madge’s topic of conversation that one of the members of the class of 1910 proved himself rather attentive, and perhaps she remembers the old adage, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” even if one of the two is a Johnny with an automobile. Madge is one of the proficient conversationalists of the school, and is also a proficient musician, as the faithful attendants of Page Society will tell you. We foretell a happy future for this one of our classmates. Laura Hrorkkck, - - - Jefferson, Pa. Page. A fair face to loots upon.” Our '• real Laura was not known last year, due to her classification as Two in One,” but this year as a Senior, having nothing to do (??1, Laura's original self made its appearance. Her popularity among the hoys has not been so great here at school since Dave and Will and various other ones keep her undivided affections. Laura's success as a hostess, especially at early receptions, cannot be excelled, particularly in the way she bids her guests farewell. The greatest event occurred December 22d, 1909. and her generosity was tried to the extent of being roomed three weeks. Although she was roomed, there were very few study periods tliat she did not visit first floor. May success follow her throughout her remaining years is the wish of her classmates. 35 Mak Brooks, Marticville, Pa, Page. •• My tongue within my lips I reign For who talk much must talk in vain. Here is a quiet, unassuming damsel who comes to school every day from down the line.” Although -he has never said anything to make u l elieve that her motto i- the above quotation, yet we believe it must be. for never, even under stress of great excitement, ha- she been known to put forth a-many words per second as the average student. They -ay that -till waters run deep; if this be so Mae must be very deep, but she never gives anyone an opportunity to sound her depths. She has never made any very brilliant (?) recitations (-uch ns some others make), but she i- one of the slow but sure type. Like the tortoise, she does not -top for pleasure and reaches her goal every time. She will surely outstrip the hare in life'- race. Fannik Brubakkr, .... Lititz, Pa. Normal. •• A quieter inair emulous body yo nlver saw. Fannie hails from Lititz, known to history a- the home of the Lititz Pretzel. Although she comes from a Pennsylvania Dutch” locality she is modern in dres� and language. In fact, she is one of the Normal's best reciters. She is at Miller-ville preparing to leach, hut we have good reasons to believe that she will turn aside from her chosen profession to the field of domestic science. She ha- won quite a reputation for her chafing dish dainties, and our hope is that -he will he able to do as well with a “cook stove ” or a modern ga- range.” Fannie has a very cheerful disposition, which, although it disturbs the peace of her chum (when she bursts into song), will carry her -cathclc— through life and show her the silver lining of many a threatening cloud. 30 Lk Roy A. BkunnivR, - Boycrtown, Pa. Normal Vice-President Class—Class Foot Bull. “Kittens is one of those brave lads who was scared out of the Boycrtown lire. He prepared for M. S. N. S. at Boycrtown High School, having graduated there in 1907 with second honor. He has never taken a very prominent part in athletics, nor does he believe in letting studies interfere with his pleasure. He is a good mathematician, and has com. pletelv mastered “Trig. Roy has a loving disposition which wins for him the love of everybody. He is always ready to respond to the conversation of anybody in the form of a stale joke, but whose antiquity i forgotten on account of his plcasng manner of expression. “ Kittens is one of the most handsome members of our class, and for this reason we forgive our girls for falling hi-victim : but it i- useless, as he does not want to be “henpecked like .some of his classmates.

Tlio History of ( lass of 1910 A Far back in the dim .ages of the past, so long ago, in fact, that its beginning is shrouded in mystery, a great coral reef began its formation. A few wee polyps took their station side by side on the bed of life’s ocean, in the region known to the world as the Millers-ville State Normal School, to take the preparatory steps in the building of what would one day become one of the most important features on the surface of the earth. These few labored onward and upward until, in the course of time, others came to join them in their work, and they called themselves Juniors. The work was easier, now that so many were helping, and pleasanter because they had a right to organize as a class and elect some who should l e their leaders. So passed another age, and in the beginning of the next era there were but few additions to the busy band. But the work prospered, slowly, it is true, but surely, as it was certain to do since they had adopted the motto, “Desire to do well,” which each member of the colony has ever held dear to his soul. The difficulties were becoming more numerous now, as they neared the surface the breakers disturbed the hitherto |iiiet waters. Seeing this they chose the “ Arrow-head ” as a means by which they should overcome obstacles and recognize each other as co-workers, each inspiring the other with courage. Some, despite the helping brothers, perished beneath the breaker of the “ Faculty Fxams.,” but none is forgotten, and each leaves his own little mark on the structure erected by him and his fellows. Then ensued a great upheavcl of the earth, and, after quiet was restored, these patient, persevering builders found themselves a great atoll, enclosing, in the midst of a turbulent ocean, a quiet 86 stretch, which should be a haven of rest for the storm-tossed barks of the Middlers, Juniors and Preps. Wave upon wave assailed them, but they succeeded in keeping cal in and unruffled the surface of their own little lake. Although seemingly cold and staid to those who know them, they are warm with life, and busily working beneath the surface, still developing upward and outward. A record of their tasks and of the results of their labors was found on a stone held in the interlaced arms of fifteen of the “coral-trees and has been printed as •• The Touchstone of 1910 ’ As yet the stormy ocean has had no effect on the strength of their union, but there will come a time when fragments will be broken oft' and scattered about the earth by the ocean currents and stationed far apart, showing other and younger colonies that their work is not in vain, and teaching them many a lesson not to be found in text-books. Some fragments may be carried into foreign fields; another to the ministry; many, we know, will drift into the sea of matrimony, but wherever they may be found in future ages each will surely bear the impress of the “Arrow-head ’ and the motto, “ Desire to do well. No doubt some will be held tip before the world as very valuable fossils. 87 Class Koll a Aierstuck, artless, fickle, game, In athletics has won much fame. Bankes. bonny, bright and clever.

When we realize that we were Middlers. we dispersed to our homes to ponder over our new found dignity. In the hazy days of September we came back, ready to win for the class of 1911 a name that would be “ worth while.” Our Constitution was adopted early in the term and we began our wonderful career as Middlers. The time that the Seniors discovered that the Middlers could “do things” was at the Middler vs. Senior foot ball game. Ivven the Senior’s moonlight practices did notwin them the game. The score was tie. Our sociable was an original, delightful affair. Not even at the Hague Conference was there a more peaceful assembly of the representatives of the nat ions, and never did a troupe create more merriment than ” Ma Dusenberry and her Boys and Girls.” The girls' basket ball team went down in defeat to the Seniors, but it was a plucky fight, and the game ended with the score 19— is. However, the name of the girls’ basket ball team of 1911 will echo down through the coming years, for they were the first team in the History of the Normal to play a game with an outside team. We’ll give three cheers and a tiger for our boys’ basket ball team. Tie games are trump” with the boys, but the ten minutes’ extra playing gave our boys the game. We, as a class, have been living a “strenuous life,” for our record in the class room is as enviable as on the playground. We have delved into General History, waded through Geometry, hunted bugs and dug flowers characteristic of Middlers. The future looks bright for the class of 191 l.and next year, as Seniors, we hope to continue our record as a class which is “ worth while.” 103 T O r C H S T () N E A Comedy of Errors A Strange signs were seen in the heavens, unlike anything in the earth or in the waters under the earth; witches and furies held high carnival, making night hideous. The Faculty, in amazement,called a special meeting to see if any rules had been violated that might have brought about the terrible state of affairs. Imagine their consternation when they found, collected on the campus, the innocent (?) cause of it all, the Class of 1911. Such a class! freckled, pale, long, thin.short, broad, cross-eyed, bow-legged, knock-kneed,—in short, the freaks from every community in our Commonwealth not supplying a menagerie. The class had taken their “prep” course in the world lying just beyond the river Styx, usually known as Hades. Here they had been well-trained in such arts as snapping, professional tampering with electric lights, destroying property, ponying, tormenting teachers and under-classmen, and breathing cigarette smoke instead of oxygen. What did the Faculty do? Did it punish them? No, instead it took pity on them and adopted them for three years, at least. It was decided that they should be educated during that time, and, in return for the great kindness, they were asked to make an agreement that no rules would be violated by them. I ndoubtedly, you all know how they kept their promises and I shall not take time here to explain. Slowly this wild-eyed and fearful bunch of hobble-de-hovs, now known as Juniors, became more mature, and after one long year, Idled with many trials, troubles and tribulations, they decided that it would be well to return to that mysterious realm from which they had emigrated. 104 TOUCHSTONE After a short visit they became restless, and desirous of more knowledge, so in the month of September, 1909, we find them back, but not in the low guise of Juniors, for now they were Middlcrs. The prevailing sentiment in the class was that the work would not be difficult during their middle year, but soon their opinions changed. Hack they came to their old trainers, The Seniors,” and asked how this theorem is proved ? How you ever got off ” General History? All their questions were answered in the gracious tone of an older sister or brother, arid, little by little, they absorbed some knowledge. In their study of Psychology they sometimes wonder whether it is of practical use for them to study the mind, as their own mental activities make themselves so little evident. Although it is not difficult for us to realize the fact, yet we are forced to admit that they are capable of physical activity which enabled them, by dint of foul play, learned in their previous existence, to run up a high score against their adversaries in the Gills’ Tournament. Even their physical strength was not great enough to enable them to play a straight game, as was shown bv the frequent intervals at which they called time out.” Now, let us hope and fervently pray that in the years to come they will aspire and try to reach that standard which we have given them, and may their deeds be so high and noble and the finished product so perfect that the classes for years to come shall look up to them with praise and love. 105 T o U G II S T () N K A Officers President,..........................Guy Eaby Vice-President,.....................Aidkx Eystek Secretary,..........................Alice Betts High boom, zicketv zack Here we come, clear the track, We’re the Middlers, we’re not slow, We're the class that make things go.

After the election of class officers, colors were decided upon, but the motto was let go for another year. The experiences of the Class of 1912 have been so many and varied during this first short year of its career that it is hardly possible to relate them all here. The first occurrence worthy of note was the decision of the Preps to care for themselves, and so we have not had the heavy burden to bear of caring for our weaker brothers and sisters as our predecessors have had. One of the most important events of the year was the Tournament which took place on January 22 amid great excitement and confusion on the part of the girls. The Juniors were well represented by their mascot, a sledge of Icelanders, which certainly displayed good class spirit. The first game called was one in which we were the most interested, it being the Junior-Prep. But victory is not always the sign of superiority, and although the Juniors were defeated, let us remember that the Preps hope to become Juniors some day. Our class, though young, has shown already the ability of its members, and we are all sure that each one will do his part toward the completion of the work set before us. 10S T O U C H S T O N Iv Second I I if ion In the fall of 1909, along with the egotistical and ungovernable Middlcrs, came another small company of strange, frightened-looking creatures, gliding in meekly from all parts of the State. They seemed afraid to move for fear of disturbing somebody, and as for going to a teacher for information, that was not to be thought of. Consequently, on account of their extreme freshness and inability to judge, we Seniors were frequently confronted by questions like these: “Are you a first or second B,“ “Do you take history under Miss Gherst or Miss Lyle ?' ’ But when they discovered that they had been talking to a Senior, that the effect was embarrassing was proven by their actions. These lost children continued to wander through the dormitories and recitation hall and over the campus, getting into the wrong place almost as frequently as the right. We, the Seniors, scarcely knew of their existence unless our privacy was disturbed by one of them, and then, of course, we would gently set them right and give them a little friendly advice as to how they should conduct themselves toward the upper class men. And thus passed the fall and winter terms of their first year of Millersville school life. By this time, in their estimation at leest, they are thoroughly acquainted with the ways of the school and felt perfectly at home. Consequently now that they do not need to give their entire attention to their lessons and actions they can enter into the social life of the school and occasionally something is done that causes us to open our eyes and exclaim over the fact that a Junior had so much ability or originality. Yes, it is true, the Junior has about passed through his period of dormancy and is now ready to slowly, but surely develop into a Middler and then a Senior, reaching in that position the highest possible rank of honor. Let us. who know this class of 1912, keep an occasional eye on them and watch the steady change from a small unnoticed bud of a Junior into the beautiful and full blown flower of the Senior. 109 T 0 V C II S T () X E Officers of Class of 1912 i Officers President, Vice-President, Secretary, -Treasurer, William II.

T O V C II S T O N E Normal Literary Society The flowers have bloomed and laded, and snows fallen, and the time has come when we must once more take tip the threads and weave another piece into the splendid fabric of the Normal’s history. It is not our purpose to go into a long, detailed account of the founding and early years of our Society. Other historians have done this for us, and, besides, we are more interested in the immediate past, and in the present. We dare not entirely overlook the past, however, for our existence to-day is, in a large measure, due to the sturdy character and honest toil of those who composed the members of the Society’s early history. For over half a century she has been going steadily onward, and can well be proud of the success she has achieved. Her sons and daughters can be found in all departments of life, holding positions of the highest trust and responsibility. They can look back with pleasure to the time when they were helping to make the Society’s history, and were, in turn, being fitted to make history for themselves and for the nation. Nor are the present members falling below the standards set for them by their predecessors. Starting the year's work with numbers seriously depleted by the loss of active members, we remaining ones found that upon us devolved the responsibility of living up to, and even surpassing, the standards raised heretofore bv the Society. This idea has been admirably carried out, though in so doing, the assistance of the new members has played no minor part. To them we owe much. For the success which we have achieved this year was made possible, to a great extent, by the true spirit in which they entered into their new duties. We congratulate ourselves upon the acquisition of such members as they have proven themselves to be. Ill T o r C H S T () N E During the fall term debating teams were organized. These teams have been doing excellent work. Seniors were appointed chairman of the different teams, and these chairmen have been ably assisted by the other members. The Anniversary exercises of our Society, held on Tuesday evening, October 29, were well attended. Again we had the pleasure of greeting our fellow Xormalites who have left school, and are now, in reality, fighting for “Truth and Right” in the real battles of the world. The exercises were not only interesting, but instructive as well. We are proud of the achievements of the Normal Literary Society in the past, and, judging from this, which is our only standard, we see only prosperity in store for her in the future. 115 T O U C H S T O N E Normal Literary Society President, Secretary, Vice-President, Critic, Treasurer, - President, Secretary, Vice-President, -Critic, Treasurer, President, Secretary, Vice-President, Critic, Treasurer, - President, Secretary, Vice-President, -Critic, Treasurer, President, -Secretary, 'iec- President, Critic, Treasurer, - Officers for 1 00!)-'1 O George UlBEL Naomi Stonesifer Albert Zeilinger - Jessie Carney Harry Cooper Second Term Walter B.

At the petition of a number of influential men,among whom we may name Benjamin II. llershev, A. N. Kaub, John W. Peoples, and Theodore Whitson, a charter was granted the Society on August 28, 1858. The aim of the Society is given in the preamble to its Constitution, which reads as follows: “ We, students of the Pennsylvania State Normal School for the Second District, recognizing the importance to citizens of a free country and to the instructors of its youth of practice in oratory and composition, of skill in debate, of a large fund of general information, and of familiarity with the rules and usages regulating deliberative bodies, therefore, to attain these ends, do declare ourselves a Society, and do establish for our government this Constitution and By-Laws.” Inspired by the work of David R. Page, a prominent educator, who was the first principal of the first State Normal School of New York, and the author of an extremely valuable educational work, entitled “Theory and Practice of Teaching,” the Society received the name “ Page.” The names of many prominent persons are found among the early members of the Society. Among these names we find Dr. I). W. Bartine, a distinguished teacher in Philadelphia; Colonel M. D. Wickersham, who served with General George Thomas in the Chiek-amauga and Chattanooga campaigns of the Civil War. afterwards Pnited States District Attorney for the State of Alabama. A few 1 IS T O V C II S T () N B years later we find the names of Dr. A. R. Bverly, our venerable pro-lessor of Latin and Greek; Honorable John H. Landis, Superintendent of the Tinted States Mint; Charles IS. Pugh, First Vice President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Concerning the work done bv the Society during the past year much may be said. Regular meetings were held every Friday evening during the first four weeks of the fall and spring terms. During the remainder of the year meetings were held every second Friday evening. The work done in a regular meeting of the Page falls under the general heads of referred questions, orati ms, recitations, debates, and musical features of the program. Great interest has been taken in this work in which we. its present active members, have endeavored to preserve its high aim and perpetuate its good name. In the years to come, we trust that this same aim may be maintained by our successors and that the Page Society may ever be “Rich in Truth.” 119 T () U C H S T O N E Officers of Pa e Literary Society First Term President, -Vice-President, Secretary, -Censor , Treasurer, - - G iso rob Meyers Charles Meyers Minnie F.

A This, .'in organization of stupendous importance among young men, can scarcely receive just representation in a short statement of a class annual. However, its true meaning. •• V. M. C. A.,” will never fail to impress itself upon the modern, enthusiastic, wholehearted young man of this century. The aim of this organization has been and is: (1) To become acquainted with the young men for the purpose of finding out whether they have consecrated themselves to Christ. If so, it extends to them a welcome hand and invites them to participate in the regular meetings. (2) Should the Young Men’s Christian Association find a young man of today not devoting himself to any theme or Creed, it still extends to him the welcome hand of fellowship, and strives to place before him the necessity of having a Redeemer. Our association is as applicable to the principles of a Presbyterian as it is to the doctrines of the Methodist, or any other denomination. It accepts within its circles the young men from any denomination of Christian representation, and places before them its grand motto. Spirit, Mind and Body.” The success of this organization scarcely need be stated. A simple inquiry or investigation will find every officer at his post doing his duty. It is true not every student has enrolled with us, but not a single one can deny the fact of having had the opportunity to join us. It gives us great pleasure to say, The Non-Members’ Corps of young men is exceedingly small. One reward of faithful duty to the Y. M. C. A. is a trip to Northfield. Last summer six of our delegates had the supreme pleasure of placing their names on the roll books of The Student Conference Association, at Northfield, Mass. Only those who have been there understand the significencc of such a gathering, and may 1 state that those who have been there once will always have a longing desire to go again. The instruction given to the eager delegates cannot possibly be surpassed. It is given by men filled with the Spirit, and craving with a sincere heart to inspire young men 122 T O U C II S T () N E to “Help Rescue the Perishing. The Xorthfield delegates from this organization returned to school in the fall, and began work, not only in their books, but with a hearty good fellowship greeting for every student. Our work here at school consists of a series of meetings: on Sunday morning in room B we never fail to meet and participate in a song service, followed by a discussion of some topic either bv a student, faculty member ora minister from one of the village churches. On Sunday evening we assemble with the V. Y. C. A., in the Chapel and engage in a similar service. On Thursday evening, between retiring bells, the students of each hall gather together in a room and take part in a song and prayer service. Besides these meetings there are a number of group Bible classes on the various halls studying the Life of St. Paul, and a “ Beginner’s Course in Bible Study. Financially the organization has been rather weak, but we were able to pay all our expenses, and can now say our treasury is on a good foundation, due greatly to the remarkable output of our annual calendar. The Young Men’s Christian Association is organized on the principle that young men are more helpful to one another in certain things than older men, and that a stronger Christian character is built by self-effort and self-participation than by class guidance. This does not argue against the kindly offices of the church, for the association aims to be a training ground for any Christian church of which a young man may chance to be a member. Nor does it lead to the conclusion that we do not need the advice of our elders and supervisors. But it does stand for the principle that in working out or living up to the admonition and kindly advice and instruction of the church and those who are more experienced, young men can manage for themselves and guide one another to better advantage than under too close supervision of older and more mature men. Therefore, a student should join this association, (1) because it is a help in building his own character, (2) because he can help others in character building, and (3) because he will receive training for efficient work and good leadership in his church and community after leaving school. 123 V.

History In the Spring of 1891, a little band of eight or nine girls organized themselves into a society for Christian work. This was the beginning of our association. Since then it has grown steadily both in members and in influence. Two weekly prayer-meetings are held regularly on Wednesday evening and on Sunday morning, while on Sunday evening we unite with the V. M. C. A. in holding a meeting in the Chapel. In addition to this, good-night prayer-meetings are held each evening in the Association Room on fourth hall. Another feature of our V. W. C. A. is the Bible-study work. This year we had six promising classes organized for a systematic study of the Bible. A very interesting series of mission-study classes were also held this year. Socially we are not lacking in spirit. At the opening of the Fall and Spring terms, the Y. W. C. A. joins with the Y. M. C. A. in holding a reception in the gymnasium for the new students. A novelty party was held the last Saturday evening of January. This year seventy-five dolls were dressed and sent to the poor children of New York City, and during the violet season large boxes of violets are sent to the factory-girls of our larger cities. Another source of great inspiration in the work of the association is the summer conferences. The conference for our district was held last year at Mt. Lake Park. Mt. Lake Park is situated on a big plateau of the Alleghenies, 2,800 feet above the sea-level, and, being on the top of the mountain, it is not shut in by other mountain ranges, and consequently enjoys the freedom of mountain breeze and sunshine. The surrounding country is noted for its historical interest as well as for its natural beauty, being in the vicinity of the historic Potomac River, Harper’s Ferry and the 125 T 0 U C II S T O N E famous Shenandoah Valley. The park itself covers 800 acres of ground, and is arranged on the plan of a college campus. There are excellent roads throughout and a lake covering forty acres. The climate at Mt. Lake at the season of the year when the conference is held is apt to be cool in the evenings, and has been considered by many people to be superior even to that of the far-famed and much sought for Adirondaeks. Six delegates had the privilege of attending the conference held at this park last year. And this year we hope to double our number of delegates. This year our V. Y. C. A. was especially fortunate in having Miss Batty, Secretary of Mission Work in South Africa, and Miss Jones, the newly elected student secretary of this district, present with us. Miss Batty came to us in February, filled with hopeful, inspiring reports and suggestions of the ever increasing, glorious opportunities for the progress of mission work in South America. She had arrived in America only several weeks Indore and vividly contrasted the free, independent life of the American girl with that of the girls in South America, making us feel well satisfied as to the results produced bv money given by our girls, and more enthusiastic for future efforts in behalf of this work, so worthy of our time and financial support. Probably the visit of Miss Jones will exert more lasting influence upon our present V. W. C. A. than any other single occasion. With her thorough appreciation and knowledge of what the Young Women's Christian Association embodies, she was well fitted to undertake the difficult task of changing the organization of the association. The principal change in form of organization is the addition of a system of faculty advisers to the heads of the various committees, thus relieving to a great extent the president. The interest of so many more members of the faculty should radically change the association for the better. • She also clearly impressed upon us the many sided character of the association. Let us ever remember that our V. W. C. A. here at Millersville stands for the development of all that is uplifting and noble. 12G Y. W. C. T. U.

History A “For God, and Home, and Every Land,” is the motto of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and it embodies the highest, the dearest, the broadest love the heart of man can know. A life governed by that motto must result in the purest Christianity, the deepest tenderness, the widest charity. The Woman's Christian Temperance l nion has been called “organized mother’s love,” because. inspired by God, it yearns with unspeakable longing over the young people and the children,—the pride of the home, and the hope of the nation. Therefore, of all places in the great busy world where an organization with our inspiring motto should find work to do there is none more fitting than our Normal School. Not only will its influence help to make beautiful the lives of our students, but they, going to their work in the schools of the State, will elevate countless other lives. For twenty-five years we have maintained a Christian Temperance Union composed of our young men and women as an auxiliary of the County. State and National W. C. T. U. On April 20, 1885. the V. W. C. T. U., of the Millersville Normal School, had its beginning. It was on a Sunday afternoon in the School Chapel. A lady. Miss Narcissa White, spoke to the students of the importance of such an organization in the school, explained its purpose and methods, and told of other Unions already formed. When she asked how many of the students would be willing to join an organization of the kind there were over eighty of those present ready to do so. An organization was at once effected with Mrs. Thomas Baker, as President; Miss Mattie II. Cooper, Vice-President; Miss Elizabeth Barnhart, Corresponding Secretary; Miss Mary Bell, Recording Secretary, and Miss Amanda Landes, Treasurer. The Union began holding regular meetings every two weeks, and has continued these meetings through every school term without a break from that date to this. Many public meetings have also been held in the chapel and on the campus. Another feature has been the social meetings of various kinds. 128 T O U C II S T O N E During its twenty-five years of service in the school the I’nion has enrolled 1.375 names as members, many of whom have gone out from the school to teach the gospel of temperance to the children of the State. The chief interest of the Union is the instruction and enlistment of the students in the work of the temperance reform. But as that reform has as its reason the promotion of Christianity and right living, so there are many things that come within the scope of the W. C. T. I’., and which receive the hearty co-operation of the Normal School “ V.” Frances H. Willard used to say that “the temperance reform was in everything, and everything in temperance reform.“ Thus hygiene, economics, Sabbath observance, mercy, anti-narcotics, etc., are subjects which receive special attention in our meetings. The I'nion maintains a flower mission, and many a sick student has been cheered by the silent messengers of sympathy—flowers, bearing a scripture text and the emblem of the Union, a bow of white ribbon. The present officers of the “ V are: President, Miss Amanda LatuLs; Vice-President, Miss Viola Grove; Corresponding Secretary, Miss Jessie Carney ; Recording Secretary, Miss Lillian Bashore-Treasurer, Miss Edith John; Superintendent of Flower Mission, Miss Lillian Gherst; Superintendent of Music, Miss Iwtitia B.Clark. The work of the Union has been an important factor among the educational and disciplinary influences of the school, and has received recognition and support from the officers and trustees of the school. On April 12, of this Spring term, the organization celebrated its Silver anniversary by presenting to the school a lecture by Col.Geo. W. Bain, the “silver-tongued orator of Kentucky. His subject was, “If 1 Could Live Life Over. The Colonel, with his charming personality and wonderful oratory, won all hearts, and there never was a lecture delivered in our chapel that was more thoroughly enjoyed, or that contained more inspiration for the students. On June 29, when the present Senior Class leaves this school, thirty of our members, among them our best workers, sav good-bye to us. We part with them with regret, we send with them love and best wishes, and we bid them God-speed in their work. Amanda Landes, President. 129 T ( r C II ST O N E Music; A ( | all the- arts, music is the most universal and productive of the most enjoyment toman. But how could this he otherwise, when all nature is filled with it? At day-break, from the grove, conn strains of sweetest melody from a thousand throats, announcing the approach of another day. There is music in the leaves, as they respond to the caresses of the wind; in the hum of the bee, as it flits from flower to flower; in the murmur of the little streamlet, as it trickles through the meadow, and in evening breeze, as it croons a lullaby to the tired earth. Music is as old as the universe itself. It began with the song of the planets, at Creation’s dawn, and has come singing down to us through all the ages. It began as an art, with the birth of Christianity, when voices were raised in praise to the King, and all the angelic hosts were singing,—“ Gloria in Ivxcelsis Deo.” The word “music” is generally supposed to have been derived from “musa,” because the invention of this art is usually credited to the Muses; others derive it from the sounds produced by the reeds, as the wind blew over the Nile. Hut whatever its origin, we know it was an outgrowth of the instinctive desire to convey enjoyment to others,and represent,in their most attractive forms, the thoughts, feelings, and experiences which had stirred the natures of mankind to the deepest depths. The meaning of the term was originally very different from what it represents at the present day; it was much broader, embracing all the sciences and arts which were supposed to be presided over by the Nine Muses. The meaning has been restricted more and more by the writers of all ages, until it has reached the very limited definition of the present. And yet, as narrow as the term has be- TOUCHSTONE come, how large a percentage of the people know what music really means? This art, above all others, is practiced most and thought about the least. The principal reason for this is the two-fold nature and the sweet mystery which surrounds music. To master the material side alone requires a vast expenditure of time and patient effort, and the degree of success attained will be determined, to a great extent, by the interpretation of the spiritual side, which reaches us through the imagination. This ignorance, in regards to the meaning of the term in general, prevents the mass of people from getting the greatest enjoyment from music. Some imagine that to enjoy music is merely to be within hearing of it, while their minds may be occupied with day-dreams or a thousand other things which are equally capable of occupying their attention. When will people awaken to the fact that the true and full enjoyment can be attained only by the entire concentration of a keen, alert mind? When this is realized, then, and then only, will we become a real music loving people. Nor is this a difficult task, because no knowledge of technicalities is necessary for appreciation, but merely the use of the powers with which Nature has endowed each one of us. Knowing this, let us strive to take advantage of all opportunities for musical culture: if we cannot become great artists, we can at least become an intelligent and an appreciative audience,and be able to explain with the poet— “O Music! Thou who bringest the receding waves of eternity nearer to the wearv heart of man, as he stands upon the shore and longs to cross over! Art thou the evening breeze of this life, or the morning air of the future one.” 133 T r C H S T 0 N H Millersville A Tunk—'“ Anld Lang Sync.” Our school days here, so full of joy, Too soon will pass away; Their memory green, without alloy, Will cling to us for aye.

Although we had a large number of candidates, we had but little old material, there being but three of last year’s team out. The outlook for the team was dubious. On September 2s we began our season by playing against L. II. S. for fifteen minutes. The next day F. and M Varsity came out and walloped our unsettled team to the tune Of “24- to 0.” The following Saturday witnessed our first scheduled game; that with Patrick’s Business College, of York. Our team was still in the demoralized condition it was in during the I- and M. game, and defeated P. C. B. by the small score of 6 to 0. Next came the great game; our second game with F. and M. There we showed what kind of foot ball material we had bv playing a “tie score game with I and M. At all times during the game we had the advantage over our heavy opponents. F. and M. scored on one of their celebrated long forward passes. Then came one of the greatest surprises in our foot ball history; we scored a touchdown on F. and M.. leaving the field practically the victors, with a ‘5 to 5 score. Our next game was that with St.John’s. We were sluggish in the first half, as the “0 to 0 score shows, but, in the second half, we came back at them with such ferocity that we scored “ 15 to St. John’s 0. Next came the one blot on our otherwise good record; the“0 to 0 game with Susquehanna Fniversity. Our fellows seemed demoralized by the “ Fniversity part of Susquehanna’s name. It was a slow game. Our line worked hard, but our baekfield was poor. 1 M T () U C H S T O N E Our great game came next. It was that with our old-time rivals, B. P. I. We all went into that game for blood and scored a touchdown after about three minutes of play. We swept “ Poly off her feet and scored two more touchdowns that half. Poly” seemed to rally between halves, for we could only score but one touchdown in the second half. On Thanksgiving morning we went to Annapolis and played the Navy “ Plebs” in a hard fought game. The “ Plebs won the game on a decision made by our referee. The score was ”8 to 7” in our favor, when a Pleb” man hurled our line and scored another touchdown, making the score 12 to 8,” in the Plebs’” favor. The Plebs” acknowledged, in the Baltimore papers, that they won on a decision which our coach, who was refereeing, had to make on a visiting field. We lost the game, but we won respect-We also won future games for the Normal, lor the Pleb.-M. S. N. S. game” is now an annual Thanksgiving feat, which we hope, in future years, will be as much looked forward to as the Army-Navy game.” We had a game scheduled with Baltimore City College for the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but they got cold feet and cancelled. We are sorry they didn’t come, for we wanted to roll up a score on them, and finish in fine style our glorious foot ball season. 14-7 VARSITY HASKKT RAM. TKAM.

Out of the field of candidates, most of whom knew practically nothing of the science of the game, was developed a team which, though light, was more than a match for most of the best preparatory and Normal Schools in Pennsylvania. Indeed, any team in interscholastic basket ball could lay no claim to a championship of the State without looking at our schedule, whose resulting scores are summed up in a string of victories broken only by a tie with the I'niversity of Pennsylvania scrubs. Our season opened with the fast team from the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy. The school team was then an experiment, only two of the team having played together before, and tin rest of the team in positions which were new to the men, individually. We succeeded, however, in getting away with the game by a creditable score of 21 to 13. The next game, with Penn's second team, was the nearest we were beaten the whole season. Had this game been scheduled for a later date, a victory for Millersville would be almost a certainty, as showed by our form at the end of the season, although we do not want to claim credit to ourselves by such a vague supposition. It is, however, only just to assert that our team-work was better and that our men were in better condition later in the year, and that we could have interested Pennsylvania even more than we did earlier in the year. At all events it was a good game, the score resulting in a tie, 29 to 29. The Central Manual game was won bv the close score of 29 to 150 T O U C H S T O X E 27, although it was the slowest and most poorly played game of the season. Against Spring Grove and Middletown A. C. a practically new team took the floor. Against each of these teams a large score was run up by the school, the visitors being outclassed in every turn of the game. Williamson Trade School then came to Millersville with victory printed on their foreheads, but the boys worked hard and removed that little signature and placed in its stead the Indian sign. The resulting score was 2 S to 20. Kutztown then came down, and we added one more to our string of victories over our rivals score. 36 Our season ended with the most glorious feat of all, our team defeating Mereersburg on the latter’s floor. It being the first time Mercersburg has been beaten, and our only trip of the season, it would seem that this was a case where the boys were tested on the home-stretch ami won, on Millersville nerve. The one man who was responsible for our successful season was our coach, Mr. Cooper, whose untiring energy and skillful maneuvering finally found a combination fit to represent the school and show the characteristic superiority of Millersville in all lines. to 14. 151 V RS1TY BASK HAI.I.

('lass Fool Hall (iames The boys have been verv enthusiastic in foot ball this year, and the Seniors, Middlers and I’reps were successful in gathering together a team in their respective classes. The “Three Blind Mice” of the Junior class were not successful in gathering classmates brave enough to follow them on the field, so they did not have a team. The first game was an exciting one played between the Middlers and Preps. After struggling hard for twenty minutes trying to carry the pigskin over the goal line, the Preps suffered defeat and 168 T O r C H S T O N E hastened from the sound of the cheers which were ringing to the tune of 5 to 0 A slight class rush followed, but no serious injuries were incurred. The next game, which was played between the Seniors and the Middlcrs, was extremely interesting and exciting. All the players and their classmates were very enthusiastic. The girls marched out in a. body, singing, cheering and waving their class colors high into the breeze. The brown and the gold waved in glory and triumph above the heads of the loyal and trustworthy girls of our class. The Middlcrs showed their immaturity and lack of self-control bv being influenced bv false reports and appearing on the gridiron thinking that they were qualified to use their fists as an aid to victory. But when they faced the team which had so bravely defeated them last year with a score of 1T to 0 their courage began to fail them. Both players and onlookers, uttering violent threats and improper words, which are common only to Middlcrs, occasionally rushed at our team, but they were always careful to have in reserve a sufficient number of cool-headed men to prevent murder on the part of those who were seemingly over-enraged. Both teams struggled desperately for two twenty minute halves, but neither team was able to score. The scenes between the halves were exciting and showed much class spirit and enthusiasm. Boys and girls alike participated in singing their class songs, cheering and rushing. All have now recovered from slight injuries received and cherish fond recollections of this Saturday afternoon. 169 T O r c II S T O N E Hoy ' Haskel Hall Tournament A The most exciting games played in the gymnasium this year were the intcrelass games. Their importance was shown l� v the fact that they were regular scheduled games with regular admission. The first game was held on Wednesday afternoon between the Middlers and Preps. The Middlers had the advantage in having three 'varsity players on their team, while the Preps put up a hard tight, making the Middlers earn their victory. The second contest was between the Seniors and Juniors. The superiority of the Seniors was exhibited during every minute of the game, they throwing goals almost at will. The final score stood 30 to 16 in favor of the Seniors. The most exciting game of the season was played on Saturday afternoon between the over-confident Middlers and strong Senior teams, before the game the Juniors and Preps, both feeling confident of victory, and thinking they would like to decide the underclass championship, arranged a game. The struggle was a very short one, but the Preps succeeded in winning, 20 to IT. 'file most exciting feature was now at hand. The Middlers had the advantage in having .all their men in training, while the Seniors were handicapped somewhat through the sickness of Captain (Juaill and having none of their men in training. The Middlers based their confidence of victory upon this fact. The Seniors lined up at one goal in a large body, the Middlers, seeing this, thought that it was only proper that they should imitate their superiors and lined up at the other goal The Seniors opened the cheering with many classical veils and songs. The Middlers looked on with awe, as they had but one yell and one song, both of which they borrowed, but we shall excuse them because we 170 T () V C II S T O N IS know that they will learn when they teach the Senior stage. However, they succeeded in learning one of the Senior yells before the game was over. This shows that they arc really capable of learning. The ball went up at center, the Seniors were in the play from the start and succeeded in caging a goal the first minute of play. Another minute passed with a foul to the credit of the Seniors. The Middlers, recognizing the superiority of the Senior players, decided to guard more closely. This put a stop to the scoring, and neither side scored during the next five minutes. The Middlers then succeeded in caging two goals and throwing several folds. After the Seniors thought that they had urged the Middlers far enough and had put life in them, they started to score again, Aierstuck throwing one from an angle of 45 and Captain Ouill one from more than half the length of the floor. The first half ended with the Middlers one point ahead. The second half opened with fast playing on both sides. Neither had much advantage for awhile, but the Seniors took a brace and ran up the score until it stood 15 to 1 I-in favor of the Seniors. This a fleeted the Middlers, seriously causing one of them to faint. They put in a sub and. notwithstanding the fact that the ball rolled frequently between his legs and fell into the hands of the Seniors, he played a good game. Aierstuck, thinking that he would give them one more chance, fouled Keipcr, and Obcr caged another foul, tieing the score when the bell rang. The Captains decided to play an additional five minutes and end the game by a field goal. The first five minutes ended without either side throwing a field goal. The Middlers scored one foul. They decided to play another five. This was very trying for the Seniors who were not in training, and, although the Seniors put forth strenuous efforts, they could not score. Finally Obcr caged a goal, deciding the game IS to 15 in favor of the Middlers. It was a hard fought game and both sides felt the effects afterward. 171 T O U C II S T () N B Girls' Ibiskel Bull Tournament A gala day to the girls of the Normal was January 22, for it was the time of the long-lookcd-for basket ball tournament. Teams of each class had long been practicing for the event, and now the time of test had come. The gymnasium was prettily decorated, each class having a particular corner. Gold was the predominating color, streaming forth on every hand, while brown, violet, gray and green were seen in the corners of the respective classes. Before the game each class sang the praise of its team, and, judging from the bursts of enthusiasm that came from each corner, one would think each team had to be the winning team. At 2:30 there was a lull in the shouting, and the procession appeared. The Senior team, with its mascot, a brown butter-fly, driven by a fairy dressed in gold, led the march. Then came the Middler team followed by a purple and gold elephant. Next in line were the Juniors with their Bsquimaux bearing a banner announcing that they had come from the North Pole to see the Juniors make the goal. The Preps, bringing tip the rear, were accompanied by a school girl in green carrying several battered books on her arm, and also by two girls dressed as infants bearing “Future Preps” on their backs. The teams with their mascots marched several times around the gymnasium amid the cheers of the onlookers. Then the Junior-Prep game was called and the first half resulted in a score of 1,9 to 14- in favor of the latter. Immediately Seniors and Middlers took the floor for their first half. Doubt and determination were in the eyes of .the Seniors, while “ victory” was tamped on the face of every Middler. The Middlers soon gained several points, then the Seniors controlled the ball for awhile, and when the half was over they were one behind their opponents, the score being 12 to 11. Again Juniors and Preps faced 172 T O r c 11 S T O N E each other and played well until the hell rang, when the Preps were ahead by a score of 26 to 21. The last half of the Senior Middler game now began. Middlers had made up their minds to win and Seniors were more determined than ever. The struggle was nip and tuck, with first one side ahead and then the other. Finally, thirteen minutes have passed and the score is 16 to 1 .“ in favor of the Middlers. The game grows desperate, for each side feels that it must win. The ball goes up at center and in a moment passes through the Senior basket. Shouts of anticipated victory go up from the Seniors only to drop next moment in the gloom of defeat, for the Middlers have made another goal. Thirty seconds are left. The ball is tossed up and. by skillful passing. is again in the Senior basket. The Seniors are ahead, but can they hold their ground? Fifteen seconds remain. On both sides the players are spent. The suspense is awful. The ball goes up, it passes to the Senior end of the floor. The Middlers cannot let this be. They cannot lose. The ball is now theirs. Their strongest player has it. Down the floor she comes like a storm that sweeps everything before it. Middlers rejoice. Senior hearts sink. All stand breathless. Three seconds remain. The timekeeper is ready to ring the bell. The ball is under the Middler goal, but Senior guards are there, too, sticking to their opponents like Trojan heroes. Not a murmur is heard. The ball is blocked, and who can tell what will happen next, for half a second may bring glorious defeat or hard-earned victory to either side. At last, the bell rings. All is over. The Seniors have won. Such a shouting went up from the Senior corner as the old gym. had never heard before. Space does not permit a record of the actions committed in those moments of excitement. Hut Miss Adams, who always knows just what to do in a case of emergency, came forth, first with a dance whose rhythmic motion had a soothing efleet on the audience, and then with a livelier one. After this the Seniors presented the Highland Schottish and the Hyacinth dance. Then the Juniors defeated the l’reps in two games with Indian clubs and dumb-bells. The afternoon closed with the Senior-Prep game. Here the Preps were, indeed, true to their color (green), for the final score read 20 to 4- with the Seniors ahead. 1 73 T O U C II S T 0 N E Faculfv-Y. M. C. A. Game A The game was played on Saturday The teachers, they took part; Joshua Hunter played at center. Professor Meyer played at guard: The students on the gallery, Their voices they did roll; My, oh my, how they did yell When Hunter shot a goal. On Saturday, April 2. 1910, the most interesting and most exciting game of basket ball in the history of athletics at Millersville was played between the Faculty Veterans and the Y. M. C. A. William Straughn, the Wellington ” of the Faculty Five, and George Stewart, the “Napoleon” of the Y. M. C. A. Five, arrayed their teams in opposite corners of the gymnasium to give their final instructions as to the rules before the fatal Waterloo of basketball began. As soon as the whistle blew both teams were on their feet, anxious for the fight and confident of winning. When the ball was thrown up at center Joshua Allen Hunter easily out-jumped James Grice, the opposing center, but, owing to the clumsiness of “Happy” Cooper, the Faculty had some difiiculty in landing the ball in the coveted basket. Meyer and Lyte played an excellent game at guards, being all over the floor at the same time, but not at the right place to keep the Y. M. C. A. forwards, Bates and Welder, from shooting a few goals for the Y. M. C. A. In the middle of the first half Speece starred by passing the ball to Straughn. who easily shot a goal, making the score IS to 16 in favor of the Faculty. After a few more scrambles for the ball, the 174 T O IT G II S T 0 N E lirst half ended, the score remaining 18 to 1G in favor of the Faculty. Between the halves the captains of the two teams held a consultation and decided that, in order to avoid “rough housing in the second half, they would put Speece, President of the V. M. C A., out of the game. Israel Erl was substituted. The second half opened with clean playing on both sides, but soon there was a scramble for the ball, and “ Happy Cooper, on account of his corpulent physique, easily snatched the ball from Erb, who was try big to shoot a goal, and passed it to Hunter, who shot a goal from the center of the lloor. This feat was loudly applauded by Misses Adams and Stevens, the Faculty fans. During the second half the ball was passed to Stewart, who shot a goal for the Faculty, thus discouraging his team mates and causing them to lose the game, 4-S to ,'18. The game abounded in star plays bv Grice, Erb. Stewart, Welder, Bates and Speeoc, for the Y. M. C. A., and Straughn, Cooper, Lyte. Hunter and Meyer, for the Faculty. Line-up: I'nculty. V. M. C. A.

T r c H S T O N Ii The Tale of llie (iolden Hanner Some time ago there appeared in the gymnasium a golden hanner bearing the inscription, Champion Girls' Indoor. Below this in a line t � the left were four dates, 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912. all in black. Opposite 1909 was a brown 1910, and still further down were the letter M. S. N. S. in black. Everyone was mystified by the riddle, but it did not remain long unsolved. We soon learned that the four dates to the left represented four years while the brown 1910 meant that the Class of Brown and Gold had been the champions in the Indoor Base Ball Tournament in 1909 What date should go opposite 1910? That was to be decided in a Tournament which was to be held on the eleventh and twelfth of May, and doubt was rife in every mind as to what the decision would lx . No class had had an organized team but fora short time, and possibly no class expected the victory. When the game opened with the Seniors first at the bat, every true member of 1910 became expectant and hopeful; nor were there hopes to be in vain. At the end of the inning the score stood 9-4, and at the end of the game it was 1G-11 for 1910. The Junior-Prep was broken up at the end of the third inning with the score 20-1 7 for the Juniors. The game was not continued till the twelfth, when the Preps turned the tables and defeated them bv a score of 27-22. Then came the final test. The two victorious teams played each other. At first appearances it mav have seemed that the chances were equal, but ensuing events proved otherwise, for the Seniors relinquished their last turn at the bat, with a score of 20-0 still standing in their favor. And 1910 again goes in the banner. 170 T n U G H S T 0 N E To Ilarrv A There’s a man at our old Normal. A man whom all hold dear, On his face you always find a smile. And in his heart a cheer, lie’s not one of the doctors, And he wouldn’t dare profess To he a science master. Did you say you cannot guess? Well, that’s Harry. For two, and two times twenty years. lie has rung the old school bell, That sometimes has a sound of cheer, Sometimes that like a funeral knell. And in all this time he has ne’er been known By friend, or student, or prof., To he, from the time of ringing, A single minute off. That’s Harry. lie summons us to breakfast, He bids us come to lunch, And when he rings for dinner In we march, a hungry bunch. He calls us from our cozy beds Before the break of day, Says he. this never idle man— “O’er sleeping does not pay.” That's Harry. 177 T O r c II S T O N li Four times a day lie brings us mail, As many times we’re glad. For well we know a little note Will cheer us when we’re sad. And if you’d ask him. by the way, “ Any letter there for me?” “Ofcourse there is,” he’d gayly say, “ I'd like to bring you three.” That’s Harry. 17s T ( r C II S T O N E And twice a day, from the express, He comes in laden down With boxes from our friends at home, And some sent out from town. How gladly then we pay the price, vVhen he says ten cents is due;” For we hope to find within the box, Some of mother’s chicken stew. That’s Harry. T () 1! C II S T () N E Each morning he unfurls the flag Just at the dawn of tlav. Might tenderly he Hings its folds As this he seems to say : “ wave, and wave. Old Glory. And then keep waving. ver our noble country, And the school at Millcrsville. That’s Harry. « 180 T () r C II s T O N E And when we see the weary sun behind the hill-tops sink. We watch our friend take down the flag, As thus he seems to t liink : One more day's work I’ve now passed through, I've tried to do my best; This seems to me all man can do, To (iod I leave t he rest.” Ves, that’s Harry. So when our thoughts in alter years To Millersville return, And a longing for the old school days In our weary hearts doth burn, Then lor a moment’s pleasure Memory will bring to mind This friend so busy, so loyal, so true. This friend so faithful, so kind. This is Harry. IH1 T ) U C H S T 0 X E To Mother Williams A fellow’s mother, say we. the boys. With sturdy frames and happy eyes, Knows what to do when a fellow gets hurt By a thump or a bump or a fall in the dirt. 182 T O II C II S T O X B A fellow’s mother has bags and strings Rags and buttons and all such things. No matter how busy she is she’ll stop To see how well you can spin your top. A fellow’s mother is never sad. But only sorrv if you are bad. And I'll tell you this if you’re only true She’ll always forgive, whate’er you do. And now it is a lasting pleasure And one we realize without measure To know that as she cannot be by We have another mother” on whom to rely. 0, Mother, so kind, so noble, so true, Let us say a word in behalf of you. Vou who have helped us again and again When we were in sickness and misery and pain. 183 T O IT C II S T O N E We have always found you willing to do Every task that we might ask of you. And you have practiced this motherly creed, A friend in need is a friend indeed. When we were suffering from a foot ball bruise Or a cold or a pain or simply the blues, Or when we were sleepy and lazy and tired And by late rizing from meals were debarred. To whom for comfort and help did we look ? 'Twas to you, 0 mother, we always took A little note for a sick man’s meal. And not once did we fail to receive a square deal. And as we leave these cherished walls And reflect o’er scenes in these dear old halls, Your kind, smiling face will always stand placed Where by time nor anything can it be erased. And now, mother, our hearts beat as one hit of love to you for all you have done. And this will be our lasting prayer, That you may have a mansion up in the air. 184 T 0 U C II S T O N E Localisms Awkward Squad.—Those chosen by their ignorance of the technique of mathematics, for special drill and examination along that line. Blu V.—To know a little something which you try to express in the most voluptuous, ambigious and audacious manner possible. The greatest stage of binding usually appears during the middle year, when psychology and zoology give the best chance for its cultivation. A Convenience.—A lady, rarely a gentleman, heartily pitied by our reverend principal, who acts as chaperon and whose duty it is to give two thankful persons the opportunity to be together. She is, however, not supposed to see nor hear anything near her. Cousin.—This word applies to anyone who happens to be visiting you, for whom you have a particular attraction. It explains your intimacy, your feeling, and your sentiments. It will give you the great privilege of using the sofa in the reception room; an extended walk around the tennis courts; an occasional deep, thoughtful glance at her eyes. All this conies of having a cousin. Better find one. Dav of Reckoning.—This is the day when we must appear lx fore the tribunal of the august judges of the State Board, to be judged by them considering our work done here and of the use of our time. All are judged bv the same standard, and no account is taken of the talents entrusted to each one. ,1 Lady and Gentleman—Persons who conduct themselves according to I)r. Lyte's ideal. In order to do this, they must never throw water in the halls or throw anything out of the windows; must never speak to one of the opposite sex; must never talk loudly 185 T () V C H S T O N E in the halls, and must always reveal to the faculty anyone who disobeys any rule, as this is conducive to good law and order. Nix cum runs.—No good ; not to be mentioned ; not it at all. .1 Pair.—Two, four. six. etc., or any of those numbers plus one, (poor soul has been heretofore defined as a convenience). The only requisite to a pair is one girl and one boy ; more do not count. Revelation.—Another well-known expression of I)r. Hull's, a name given to an examination which reveals how much of his mathematics we have failed to absorb. Sclfishablc. A function held in the chapel for fifteen or twenty minutes, before literary society, in which a few boys avail themselves of the opportunity of talking to a chosen girl, without the notorious third party. Meanwhile the remaining students stand at the rear door and view the glorious spectacle. Some Class to Tlmt.— new expression for stunning, beautiful, etc. Also used in fine sarcasm. When so used, you are asked to draw your own meaning. Snapping.—This word, snapping, is possibly the most versatile word ever produced in the English language. It is, very strange to say, strictly unheard of in any section except about Millcrsville. It can be used to express the following meaning: To have a quiet little chat with a silly young girl; to have a pleasant (?) little tete tete with Miss Lyle; a committee meeting where there arc two girls and two boys; an occasional well-meaning remark to a pretty young girl who is promenading about the lake; going after botany and geology specimens; walking with a girl to and from classes in the science building. We might, in general, draw the conclusion that it means any glance, action, or remark between two persons of the opposite sex. Sneaking.—A practice greatly condemned by the faculty. Among the ladies its climax is reached in visiting during study hour or after bells. Among the boys the greatest stunt in the way of sneaking is going to Lancaster to see their girls. Spiel. —Possibly one who is versed in that high and noble language of tlie Germans will recognize this word as closely related to “spielen, meaning “ to play.” This, however, is not the meaning applied in accordance with the vernacular of Millcrsville. Here it is ISO T () U C H S T O N E used in almost the exact opposite of “to play,” and means the speech or lecture given to one who has shamefully, willfully, and thoughtlessly broken the rules governing this institution. “ Spiel ” may also be applied to some very dry lecture in physics, chemistry and methods. ”Spookic.”—One of the many inventions of the “cherubs” in the Model School for torturing the Seniors. This is a creature with a triangular head, horns and whiskers, and a body of almost any shape. Squelch.—A process by which a student is made to feel pulpy,or his feelings brought down from their elation. Stunt.—This word is widely used among the boys to show that a certain fellow has done a great good for humanity. It usually is confined to the careful and skillful manipulation of ponies, which, under some circumstances, are most difficult to handle. This term is also used when one of our base ball players happens to catch a flv, which very considerately does not “get lost in the sun. Thirteen Dollars n Month, Hoard Around, Find Your Own Fuel. —This is the kind of position assigned by Dr. Hull to the Seniors, who do not make satisfactory marks in mathematics. 187 AOMINISTK ATION BUII.DINC.

Thou shalt not kill time, for the idler is not wanted at Millersville. V. Thou shalt not tamper with the electric lights. VI.

S. N. S.and being a square student. Axiom The whole of a student's character should be greater than any of his eccentricities. I « f i n il ions I. If one student comprehends another student the result is called a strike, or a case. II. A student whose stupidity is greater than the right amount is called obtuse. III. If the opposite sides of a scrap are right and of equal strength, the matter is a right tangle. Tlieornus I. A chord of sympathy is the shortest distance between two hearts. II. The product of the golden means of life is always greater than the extremes. III. The volume of a student's influence is equal to the area of his character multiplied by his common sense. IV. The area of a student’s grin is the product of his good humor and his sympathy. V. Two opposing wills will never meet, however far they may extend. VI. The life of an all round student is bounded by a curved line, every point of which is equally distant from a point within called his center of interest.

The objects of the club are to work for the interests of the student body, and the school in general, and to work for the proper relations between the school faculty and the students. The club was organized by several of our Senior boys during the fall term of 1909. The club held its first banquet at Breneman’s Cafe, on Monday evening, Feb. 21, 1910. That “There is always fair weather when good fellows get together,” was evident that night. Mr. Louis Lyte served as toastmaster and Prof.John M. Grove and Prof. Itester R. 1'hrich were guests of honor. We do not know what the future of the Rex Club may be, but we trust that it will continue to work for the best interests of dear old Millersville. 211 Founded in 1859.

Hear ye, all ye people! All who are concerned with the proceedings of this court, give your attention this way.” Thus the Court crier, Rumor, and the greatest trial of the season was opened. The defendant was a monster having fifteen heads and as many pairs of hands, each of which had been busy during the past year turning its victims aged with fear. His name, though lengthy, sounds innocent—The Board of Editors of the Touchstone. He had caused many to sue for mercy, and at present all his enemies were leagued together to bring about his downfall by means of a trial before that most severe of all judges, Public Opinion. The first witness to take the stand was Sir Prep. On being questioned by the judge, he could only say, That inhuman creature has cruelly and ruthlessly torn away every vestige of m v manhood, gained in two basket ball victories, and has called me an infant. I can only place before you the evidence of a sketch which has published in his book and scattered broadcast throughout the land.” Now we all know that Public Opinion conducts her court in a peculiar manner, often forcing the accused to defend himself without counsel. She now turned a piercing gaze upon the defendant, demanding, “How now, you Board of Editors?” Whereat that orgie began to gesticulate with thirty arms and replied with fifteen voices, “Are not all the race of Preps children? Does it not take three generations to make an intelligent man? Then let not this ambitious infant think that because he has fought and won that he is already a grown man.” This caused poor little Preppie to descend from the stand and take a back seat in the court room. “Next,” cries the judge, and a gentleman stepped forward, dressed all in pearl and gold: I have nothing to say except that I 229 T O r C H S T ) N E was treated rather harshly at one time, but as a brother who has been a help in trouble and a comfort in sorrow, 1 forgive him.” A man of Middle age now stepped forward and, becoming bitter in his accusations, says mv manly dignity has been taken away by a vile sketch and my character besmirched by means of a piece represented to be my history in which I was portrayed as ‘ freckle-faced. cross-eyed, red-haired,’ and,oh! it makes my blood boil when I think of the indignities heaped upon me.” “ We are not here to listen to invectives against the honorable Board. If you have any accusations of falsehood told, or the like, make them, if not, be silent.” Thereupon that witness collapsed into nothingness. The Choir then came forward clamoring till the music was all gone out of her voice, that she had been vilely slandered bv “that multi-headed monster,” and wished the jury at least to convict him of libel if not of murdering her reputation. The answer to this was a request by the accused that the Choir be allowed to sing one selection so as to see what decision the court ought to make. Before she had finished one stanza the judge was pleading for mercy and the jury was ready to vindicate the Board. Faculty, old and revered, now came forward to testify: “The wrongs committed against me are neither many nor grievous. I have only to say that the pictures representing me in his book are not as they should be and that some of the most ridiculous expressions have been given as coming from my lips. These arc the only accusations I have to make.” The defendant’s answer to this was short and to the point. “The pictures were made as beautiful as possible with the material on hand. I am sorry if the ‘pet expressions’ of the Faculty seemed ridiculous, but I can only record things as they are, not as I would have them.” The strongest witness of all was now called forward. Mr. Nineteen Ten, Sr., had many and grave accusations to make, and some seemed unanswerable. “This the Board of Editors, after having been chosen by me to prepare my book for publication, has turned traitor and persecuted me beyond endurance. He has turned my every word against me so that it said not what I meant, but 230 T O tJ C II S T O N E something which would be turned into cause for laughter wherever the pages of the Touchstone are read. He has written biographies so as to reveal all my faults. More than all this, he has caused me many sleepless nights spent in anxiety as to what new thing he would grasp and publish against me, and has fairly destroyed my piece of mind.” To these terrible things the accused answered, “I have merely held up a mirror before him and showed himself as others see him. If he does not wish his remarks to be made a subject of ridicule let him be careful to say what he means. As to destroying his peace of mind I would only say to him, 'Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.’ The judge has not yet rendered the verdict, and the defendant throws himself on the mercy of the court. 231 T O U C H S T O X E Senior Quest for Knowledge t Ram it in, cram it in, Senior heads are hollow. Push it in and pull it in. Still there’s more to follow. Slam it in and jam it in, And yet there's more to swallow. Pump it in and thump it in, Senior heads are hollow. Logic, etymology. Surveying, “Trig. and such. Murry up and get your book, And go to learn your “ Dutch. Then get at your Cicero, And do your Virgil, too, And don't forget your syntax rules, No matter what you do. Prosody, Ontology. And then Hist’ry of “ Ed.” O you lazy Senior bov, Whatever ails your head ? Get your Physics well prepared, And catch up in the lab. Record your work right carefully. Not slip-shod and dib-dab. 232 T () U C H S T O N E Work out “Dynamic Factors,'’ Be sure to learn your “Chubb.” Know all about your methods, Or else you'll get a rub. Today we have induction, Review deduction, too,— I never could distinguish them, Whatever shall I do? The analytic method, The aphorism, too, The value of arithmetic, As taught us by the Jew. Some weighty thoughts from Socrates, Some lessons from John Fiske. () Senior, know your methods, Or you run a great big risk. And now get down to classics, Be sure to do your work ; This lesson is not very hard,— Xo reason here to shirk. Know well all biographies, And every fellow’s style; Study rhyme and rhythm,— It will help you after ’while. Notice all iambics. Trochaics, and spondees, And don’t forget dactilics And anapestics, if vou please. Define “ aeatalectic. What is “assonantal rhyme”? Who wrote Shakespeare’s works, And when ?

And she says you must teach, Why, just go at it with a vim, And next time hold your speech. Yes, hoax it in and throw it in Senior heads are hollow. Jam it in and cram it in, Still there’s more to follow. Pour it in and roar it in, O, how much to swallow ! Slash it in and thrash it in. Senior heads are hollow. 235 T O U C II S T O N E The Senior Sociable Every alumnus and student of this institution knows with what eagerness and zest all the social events of the school are regarded. Occurring, as they do, at such remote intervals of time, and being such delightful affairs, we never weary of them, and even the most studious of us eagerly forsake our tasks for a few brief hours of pleasure. While all the events of the year will linger long in our memory, the evening of December 11.1909, when the Seniors entertained. will always be brightest in the pleasant chain of recollections which have been formed during the year by the class of 1910. The chapel, on this occasion, in honor of the approaching season, was transformed into a grove of beautiful Christmas trees, all sparkling brilliantly, while a large one in the center, richly trimmed with tinsel and ornaments, would have been credit to Saint Nicholas, himself, had he been a member of the decorating committee and it a piece of his handiwork. The delighted exclamations ot the large number of teachers and students present, as they strolled about listening to the strains of the orchestra, showed how great was their admiration for the scene. The first feature of the program was a contest of wits, introduced as a “Sketching Contest.” A large number of sketches, products of the Senior artists, representing the titles of books, such as The Crossing,” “Seven Oaks, “The Scarlet Letter, “White Mice, etc., were placed about the room, and by the hum which filled the chapel it was evident that almost every one was reviewing his knowledge of the fiction of the day. Mr. Joshua Hunter proved the futility of trying to compete with the Faculty by carrying off the prize as a reward for his successful efforts. 236 T 0 U C H S T O X E Another interesting contest consisted in identifying a number of photographs of members of the Senior class as infants. This exhibition was extremely interesting. n examination it was found that some of us had improved in appearance, and the remainder could, in most cases, comfort ourselves with the assurance that we had been handsome children. A. Grace Baker received a school pennant for recognizing the greatest number of us. When fun was at its highest, the curtains concealing the stage were drawn back, disclosing to view a very realistic country store. Merchant Johnson ” and his daughter, “ Marie,” were opening for thedav.and the usual number of loafers, which frequent such places, soon took possession of all the chairs and available cracker boxes near the stove, and began to review the gossip of the community just where they had left off the night before. ‘‘Mrs. Green and “Mrs. Smith” found time to compare notes on the rheumatiz while making their purchase. The “Rev. Mr. Talkem,” “Squire Closefist,” “Adolphus Guy Snickles,” a dude, Slick Sam,” a salesman. and a number of other amusing characters coming in on various errands, created considerable merriment among the attentive audience. The trading and the jokes of the loafers were suddenly interrupted by a fire alarm, and the horrified exclamations of “ Farmer Dobson” on finding it was his barn which was burning. Everyone rushed out to the fire, and “ Merchant Johnson ” and his daughter closed for the day. The program was concluded by a Ladies’ Club Drill which was beautifully and artistically given by ten of the fair ones of our class, and who are deserving of no small amount of praise for the creditable manner in which they acquitted themselves. The evening, filled as it was with such enjoyable features, passed rapidly, and all too soon, in a cessation of the conversational buzz, the ringing of the tower bell was heard; obediently, yet reluctantly, the crowd melted away, each one bearing with him pleasant memories of the class of 1910. 287 TOUC H S T 0 X E Hine Out, Old Bell! Ring out, old bell, to the summer sky, The balmy breeze, the air so sweet; The Senior is dying, but it is meet; Ring out, old bell, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new— Ring out, old bell, for well we know That every Senior must some time go. Out with the old elass, in with the new! Ring out the strife 'twixt class and class, For, now we leave them all behind, Let’s have our feelings good and kind Toward 1911, the next to pass. Ring out false pride in only one, Let “ Rich in Truth,” a banner bright, Stand equal now with Fight for Right,” And now thy task is almost done. Ring out the Senior, brave and bold, Ring out the class of brown and gold ; Ring in the next, our rival old, Ring in the Senior, brave and bold. Ring in the alumnus of 1910 With a larger heart and kinder hand Than ever any in the land. Ring in the alumnus of 1910. 238 T O U C H S T O X E Modol School Difficulties A One of the greatest difficulties confronting the student as he takes up the work of his Senior year is the Model School. The Senior is almost spell-bound when he enters the Assembly Hall for the first time to receive his assignment. The next day the trouble begins. He must appear before his class in a dignified, intelligent way. At the first thought, this seems well nigh impossible, as he has never been dignified before in his life (and rarely intelligent). With the words of Napoleon before him. There can be no Alps! Impossible is only found in the dictionary of fools, he goes to work with great zeal and vigor to make the best of every difficulty as it comes. With the training on hand which he received in years gone by. the Senior starts the great task of imparting his knowledge to the pliable youths who chance to fall his victims. Alas! all his knowledge which he doe have vanishes from him like a shadow when the critic teacher steps in the room. Now he knows two all-seeing eyes are fastened upon him. He feels that he is being watched by an alert, experienced, intelligent teacher. He almost loses his senses when, just then, he thinks of some great man in the past who persevered in the face of apparent unsurmountable difficulties, and his first experience vanishes away. He toils on earnestly, patiently, persistently, and becomes master of the work by his earnest preparation day bv day. His plan is carefully thought out, and material is on hand from various other sources than his text-book. He spends many precious moments searching for knowledge which should have been his long before this time. At last, he overcomes this difficulty, but no sooner has he done this than another is sure to follow. 239 T O U C II S T O N E lie is lacking in class discipline. Through his lack of experience he does not know how to overcome this difficulty when it presents itself. He tries various means of gaining a victory in this respect. Everything, seemingly, fails, but realizing the great responsibility placed upon him he does not give up in despair. He continues to strive and finally begins to see the results. Back of it all he sees the loveliness of the child’s character, its sweet sincerity, its wealth of affection, the marvels of life, in mind and soul. He does not win the battle in every respect, but he pushes on in the midst of adverse circumstances with a gallant heart. Another great difficulty confronts him when the term closes. The time now is here when the Senior goes to receive his criticism. It is to him one of the greatest obstacles which he must encounter. He walks fearfully, half reluctantly to the Model School and there finds the critic teacher, with a paper in hand, awaiting his arrival. He is taken into a room and judgment is pronounced upon him. •• You have failed in this respect. You could have done better in that. You might have improved along this line although 1 think you did fairly well.” Go on in your work and 1 think you will be a successful teacher. The Senior goes away thinking and planning what battles he is going to win in the future. 2+0 T o t C II S T O X E Hoard There is a Reaper, State Board by name, Of some reputation and Normal fame. He stays but three days in the course of a year, But that short visit makes all of us fear. The scythe he uses is called an exam. And cuts down all students who only cram. His sickle is sharp and his sight very keen, And reaches full many who would not be seen. He questions the Seniors, the Middlers, too, The Juniors are feign for mercy to sue. The things that lie asks them are too much to tell. The puzzle Professors who should know them well. Judge then the emotion of those poor souls Who take “ two-in-one” and try for two goals! They tell first the reason for that war or peace; Then go to the next room and analyze Greece. In solving a few little easy quadratics Their brains are confused by other math'matics. They keep an account with their friend Mr. Smith, Relate them the fate that they threatened him with. Of Chemistry questions there are but four; With one of them answered they all cry, “ No more! They talk now of Westerlies, call them monsoons, And spell words as though they’d not seen them for moons. Oh! there’s a Reaper, whose name is State Board, Whose call in our mem’ries we’ll always hoard, For e’en though he stays but three days in the year His visit makes all of us shiver with fear. 2T1 T o ECUS T O X E Wliy I Came to Millersville Doyunsask me why I came to Millersville oncet? Well I tell you. I were home and mom she said she thinks 1 ought to be a school teacher already. My pop he said he thought so too yet, that 1 should come, because I wasn’t so very good and that there ocean air where they get from the lake would make me gooder than I used ter be. 1 got me ready to begin to start on my way to the Millcrsviile Normal School. Amos took me to Lancaster, mind you, and there he put me the trolley car on. The man he came around and told me I had to pay for ridin’ on that there thing, so I took some of my money that my mom gave me for to spend at the store. Don’t say it did not spite me for to spend that dime, for I heard out at that place you can buy two pieces of wood with ice cream in it for that money. We got up against the Normal School, but I didn’t know where I was at, till that there man where took my money yelled This is the place you want off at.” I got myself up and out of the car and then 1 didn’t know where to go till I saw the rest making up the street. I asked someone what were standin’ there which for street to take get in that Normal School where you hear of them making teachers. That man he looked at me and laughed. I don’t know for why but he told me which for street to take and I found the office without losing myself with my bundles. A man in there which were called a doctor came and asked me whether I wanted to make a teacher oncet and what 1 called myself. When I told him he said he knowed my pap long ago when he was a little bov already. That man he asked me oh, so much questions 1 just felt like making me right off home again with my things, but he said 1 would make out allright if 1 would stay and so I just made my mind up that I was going to stay. 242 T ore H S T 0 X E A Three-Days’ On (ins The Class of 1910, desiring to take advantage of every opportunity for culture and enjoyment available, decided to accept Mr. Lansinger’s kind offer to escort them to the Nation’s Capital. We left Millersville Thursday noon, Octol er 21, 1909, accompanied by many friends. Soon we were speeding towards the city dear to every true American’s heart, and a spirit of freedom from restraint pervaded the cars and revealed many traits of character hitherto not displayed in the Normal School. We were met at the Union Station by large touring cars in which we were conducted to our respective hotels, the “Ellsmere” and “ Fredonia.” Our first evening was spent fit the Congressional Library, and it soon became evident that the stately beauty of the building could be better appreciated when there was a congenial companion with whom the points of interest could be discussed. Early the next morning some of the party decided that they “auto” do what they ought not to do and succeeded, but upon being discovered by chaperons, repented in tears. After this we turned our faces toward the Capitol, and it was here that the “ Belle” of our party was taken fora bride, and the groom was a “Spceces” of Millersville S. X. S. Then followed a trip to the Treasury Building. A visit to Mt. Vernon, the revered home of Washington, the “ Father of His Country, followed in the afternoon. On this journey one of the girls discovered that she liked a Pennsylvania “ Hill’’ better than those of Virginia. That evening we visited the Lincoln Museum. 243 T O V C II S T 0 N E On Saturday morning tlie White House, Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Institute and the National Museum were viewed. “The Little Tin Soldier” made himself generally agreeable to all ladies who needed an escort. After a sumptuous farewell repast at our respective hotels we left in large touring cars for a view of the city, winding up at the I'nion Station, where a special train was waiting to convey us back to Millersville. The old adage, that “love is blind,” was proven by one of the Middlers when he sat down by the side of the wrong girl. We must admit, however, that the resemblance from the rear was rather striking. 1’pon reaching Millersville, we were heartily welcomed by Faculty and students, and served with a delicious dinner.” The trip was thoroughly enjoyed, and added greatly to the school-life of each student. 244 T O IJ C H S T O N E The Middle Year Girl A Who is it that dashes so wild down the hall ? For rules and restrictions she cares not at all, Adown the wrong stairway, with skirts in a whirl, She’s gone. Did you see her, the Middle Year girl ? She’s no more a freshie,” she’s plaited her hair; To lessons and conduct she gives not a care. Her lips are compressed in a sarcastic curl, There’s war in the eye of the Middle Year girl. She takes no books home, except for a test, And down in the lunch-room her voice drowns the rest, Her virtues are hidden like rarest of pearls; Beware, gentle reader, of Middle Year girls! An excellent average is second year treason; She lacks the three R’s—Respect, Reverence, Reason. Don’t frustrate her plans, have a care or she’ll hurl A book or two at von—Sweet Middle Year girl. This life is too short to neglect any fun; In a century more, who’ll remember? Not one. She’s the freest American—banner unfurl, And wave o’er the head of our Middle Year girl. 2+5 T O U C H S T O N E “The Prep Girl” Slam! Bang! What a noise and confusion! Is the building down or what is it ?—Yes, that’s what it is— The Prep Girl. Can we believe our senses? When first she made her appearance among us, how shy and quiet and even tearful she was. From all appearances her ruling desire was to get back to home and mother—and who blames her? Surely not we who have about finished our course and are looking forward to settling ourselves in schools as near home as possible. Indeed, it was at this time she won the friendship of her fellow students for Pity is ever akin to love.” However, after a time the ways of the school became more familiar to her. She joined one of the societies and became generally at home, but still in a quiet and unobtrusive way. After a while the upper classmen, seeing that she has become settled, pay less attention to her and leave her to friends of her own class. Suddenly, there is a change. The retiring “ Prep ” has developed into the “ Prep” that has caused the word to be a synonym for self-importance, Hipness and noisyness. She takes liberties her superiors would never dream of taking. She borrows everything she can get her hands on. and woe to the lender i! the article is not well tagged. She forgets that she owes any respect to those of a higher class or even to her teachers. The confectionery stores are well patronized by the Preps. It is so easy to run across for an icecream cone just before supper or to buy a nickel's worth of chocolates, for the poor little creatures must have something “ decent to eat once in a while. As for lessors, perhaps the less said about them the better, for surely the •• Prep” herself gives them little thought. However, she does not have that bug-bear, State Board,” to bother with in the spring. So let her be noisy and mischievous to her heart’s content and slam and bang all she wants, for soon she will have to think of more serious things, and we feel sure that her actions will accord with her greater responsibilities. 246 T O U C H S T O N E A Thermo-Electric. Pair A He was a gallant pedagogue Who ran the dynamo; She was a sweet, demure young thing With whom he spooned, and so He came to love this lovely maid ’Till his heart’s vibrating plate Was magnetized and polarized At a milliamperic rate. His love he well expressed in ohms And amperes and in volts; In voltaic phases and vibration mazes. Or currents, arc lights and volts. Said he, by the great broken circuit! Or more by the Rhumkorft'eoil, “ Your negative answer will drive me To some subway under the soil.” Not a spark of inductive affection, Not a positive “yes” have you spoke; I'm afraid the wires have grounded Since you foolishly think I’m broke. Then regret like a galvanometer, Or a magnetic needle it smote her, And she said, “Of love I have ions, As strong as an Edison motor.” So he opened the circuit and clasped her In arm-ature and held her there; And she was the belle electric Of this thermo-electric pair. 247 1 T O I' C II S T O N I : Class Prophesy As I was on my wa v from Bern to Geneva in December. 19—, I was stormstayed for upwards of a week in the small town ol Bresona, in southwestern Switzerland. Now, in my leisure, I recalled with pleasure the scenes of my childhood and my dear old golden schooldays. Never had my Alma Mater seemed dearer to me than at this time. Her velvety campus, her stately trees, her silvery lake, her surrounding country with its shady lanes and picturesque streams, so much dearer because of their associations; all these came to my mind. I could hear the old bell peal forth calling; us to our classes. I could hear some bright member of the class recite his history lesson word for word, and re. ceive the commendation of his teacher; then someone would be asked to explain what the gentleman meant. Little did 1 think that 1 would ever visit the scenes of the great historical events which were so strongly impressed upon our minds. And then 1 took from my trunk a banner in Gold and Brown, and I thought of mv classmates who left Millersville under the same banner. With the banner was a small scrap-book, which, bv the way, bore the “Trade Mark of the manual training room. M. S. X. S., 1909. The book contained quite a number of clippings from the Millersvillian and from various newspapers. Some of these 1 had clipped myself, others had been sent to me by unfriends. Of course, I was always anxious to know of the whereabouts of my classmates, and now 1 took the opportunity to read the history, as it were, of part of the class at least. The first item was headed Reainstown, Pa., and read as follows: George D. Libel, together with his family, left here yesterday for New York City, where he had accepted a position as Second As- 2+9 T O r C II S T O N E sistant Compiler of Statistics for the Harmony Club of North America, located in that city. I was not surprised in the least at George's apparent success, for I knew he had a good foundation and was bound to succeed.

Married.—In June, at York, Pa., Miss (trace M. Strayer, 10, to Mr. Keescy. a young but very promising member of the York County Bar. Miss Ida Good, the proficient teacher of Manual Training and Drawing in the New Holland High School, expects to spend her vacation in Toronto, Canada. Mountville, Pa. Miss Anna Haerttcr, who graduated with honors from Wilson College in June, has accepted a position in the ('.iris High School of Harrisburg. Married.—At her home, in Mahanoy, Pa.. Miss MacOdgcrsto Mr. Ileastv Welder, of East Berlin, Pa. They will reside in Gettysburg, Pa., where Mr. Welder is in the employ of the government. A letter was received from the Philippine Islands last month from Mrs. Mabel Pry Wertseh,'10. Mr. Wertsch,'09, has charge of a government school in Manilla. The Carlisle ••Herald states that Miss Grace Hartman, of Dickinson, who has always been an admirer of Powells, the artist, has produced in imitation of him a very fine painting of Perry’s Victory on Lake Erie. Just at this moment I was interrupted by a small boy who rushed into my room and uttered several French words which 1 could not understand. On looking at my watch I learned that he was no doubt inviting me to dinner. Should I have declined ? On a recent trip to New York I was greatly surprised when joined at Bethlehem bv my old school friend, Louise Paxson. It was twenty years to the day since we had been graduated from Millers ville—and naturally our conversation centered about schooldays and chiss-matcs. Louise had rapidly risen in the field of physical culture, until in 1915 she was appointed head of the ladies’ department at Columbia University. Our memory of Elizabeth T () U C H S T () N H Beard. Miss Lyle’s successor, had been kept bright by the Page ” items of the “ Millersvillian,” a late number of which contained an announcement of the engagement of Miss Marion Idoyd, a teacher in the village of High Rock, to Harry Fulton, a prosperous physician of York.” In the same paper we had read of a sumptuous “spread given by the girls of the school to celebrate the completion of Miss Dora Hoy’s fifteenth year as resident nurse there. Louise said the reason Dora was the most beloved person at the school was because she made life there very home-like for the girls. Louise had kept up her acquaintance with the day-students and was able to inform me that Mac Brooks had, at Marticville, a large poultry farm, noted the State over; that Walter Aierstuck, after teaching in the West for fifteen years, had returned to Millersville as Professor Cooper’s successor; that Ethel Kecsev, after teaching for nine years, had married an aeroplane merchant, and since then had travelled eighty times around the world and had been in every country on the face of the earth; and that Amelia Shookers had taken charge of the shoe department of Lancaster’s largest store, the firm having changed its name to Sayres, Shookers and Swceton. Long did we dwell on the fame won, in our war with Japan, by lean Troop, the Florence Nightingale of America. Next morning, on our wav up Fifth Avenue to Central Park, we saw in the distance a great crowd. As we drew nearer we heard what I though to be a runaway graphophone, but, on approaching the scene, we beheld standing on the corner, in a Salvation Army garb, preaching to the crowd, Julia Sprenkle, whom we immediately remembered as the greatest talker of our class. A few hours later, while standing near the obelisk in the park, we were passed by a beautiful coach. The gentleman in the rear seat raised his hat to Louise, who, in surprise at my muteness, turned and asked did I not recognize Duncan Strawbridge. He had changed wonderfully in features and this, together with his severely tailored clothes and high silk hat, was, I think,sufficient warrant for my blunder. Lotiiscsaid that the name of Mr. Strawbridge was feared by every other broker in the city. I was not a little surprised to learn that this fellow, who had endeavored to be so very familiar with all the girls at school, was still enjoying bachelorhood, with his heart set on notli- 253 T () U C H S T O N E ing higher than money-making. Soon we found ourselves within the Metropolitan Museum enjoying the paintings in a room devoted exclusively to the works of Anna Giles, who is considered the greatest portrait artist since the days of Reynolds. While viewing these beautiful paintings we heard a tall, stately lady near us remark to her husband, “ You know.George, Miss Giles was a classmate of mine at Millcrsville.” We could not refrain from making ourselves known, and in a short time we were enjoying the company of Mr. and Mrs. Knwright, who had recently returned from England, where Mr. Enwright had been serving as United States Ambassador. 1 had often read of Mrs. En wright as Washington’s favorite matron, and as the most admired woman at the Court of King James, and was glad to learn that this noted woman was m v old school friend, Grace Stewart. Grace told us of the great enthusiasm given the temperance cause in England by the lectures delivered in various places throughout the Island by Minnie West. Minnie had been the chief factor in the struggle which had made the United States a prohibition country, and was now lending her help to the cause in England. Because Grace had always opposed woman suffrage, 1 was not a little surprised to hear her say that the lecture given in New York the week before by Mary Scabright, the enthusiastic leader of the woman’s rights movement, had entirely changed her views. Soon we were discussing the recent debate in Congress which had been pronounced the country over as greater than the Hayne-Webster struggle of a century ago. Grace, being a Democrat, favored James Grice, of Maryland, while I defended George Stewart, of my own State. While leisurely wandering about the Aquarium in the afternoon, Louise asked did I recognize the lady and gentleman on the opposite side of the walrus pool. I was sure 1 had seen them before, but could not recall their names until the gentleman, after making himself known to us, said, “Of course, you remember Elizabeth,—a— Eliza-beth—a—Miller, who had been—a—Mrs.—a—Speecc now—a— for about a year.” We were glad to learn that at last Elizabeth was happy in James and he in her. Naturally they had kept in touch with some of the class-mates whom Louise and I had forgotten, and they told us that Florence Stauffer was teaching manual T O U C H S T O X E training in a school for the feeble-minded in Baltimore; that Stephen Lcininger was proprietor of a large farm in York County; that Edith Drunim was the famous short-story writer whose works had appeared under the pseudonym Jane James. ’ Elizabeth told of the success of Elsie Barrett. After leaving Millersville, Elsie had studied for five years in Europe, and had then joined the Sisters of Mercy. She had drifted gradually westward until, in St. Louis, she had earned the reputation of being the most competent instructor in music the city had ever possessed. Early the following morning, while waiting for our boat to leave the wharf, we were no less surprised than pleased to see Anna Kravbill hurrying toward us from the opposite end of the deck. After several years' preparation at Columbia and Cornell Universities, Anna had been appointed head of the department of science at Swarthmore College. Among other things she told us sad news concerning Florence McPherran. As a missionary Florence had won a large part of South America to Christianity, and had then gone to Africa in charge of the Blackman, but lx ing disliked bv the natives there, she was eaten by the cannibals along the Congo River. Soon our boat had reached a small island in the bay. where the new light-house stood, a marvelous achievement which had turned the eyes of the world to the greatest of all American engineers. Harper Quaill. Had our time been unlimited we could have spent several hours on this island very profitably. But as it was. Anna and Louise were obliged to report at their respective schools early in the evening, and I left the city at two o’clock. Thus was brought to a close a most enjoyable visit to the metropolis. One very warm day in May I felt indisposed and longed to wander away alone. 1 walked slowly up Frederick street, down the lane, then strolled along the road and through the fields and presently found myself on the bank of the “ Little Conn.” What a delightful spot! I stood there enchanted by the scenery—the trees, bending over 255 T o U C H S T O N E the banks nodding their tops and whispering to one another; the stream, clear and cold chanting its mystic melody; the birds,in the tree tops, singing their notes of praise—vea, this spot was liberally endowed with everything that nature could give. I turned to my right and went up the hill until I came to a large rock on which I sat down to rest. As 1 sat there gazing thoughtfully into the water, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I hastily turned my head and beheld an old man with a long beard and a white flowing garment. He addressed me in a low voice, I have something to tell you in which, I think, you will be deeply interested. Will you hear me?” Trembling, I consented and, to niv amazement, heard these things. • I hold in my hand a piece of parchment containing the future of a few members of your class. I am going to read it to you and want 3 011 to take careful notice of everyone. Miss Mabel Cooper will go abroad for further culture of her voice. She will be very successful and, after her debut, will be received by all the foreign nobility. Later, however, she will appear at Hammerstein’s, in Philadelphia. Miss Naomi Stonesifer will live in Syracuse, New York, at which place her husband will be pastor of the Trinity Reformed Church. Miss Lidia Wells will leave very soon after her commencement for the western part of the United States, where she will receive a position in a public kindergarten. In the northern part of York County there is a small fertile farm on which standsa neat little house. On the front door there will appear a sign which will read, George Meyers, Justice of the Peace. He will live here happy and contented with his wife, who was formerly Miss Ethel Kinsey. Miss Bressler will become a successful teacher in the city of York, but this will only occupy a few years of her life. The rest will be spent quietly and peacefully, but not alone. Miss Maude Mvers will become deeply interested in philanthropy. She will frequently give recitals for the benefit of charity. You surely know what lies before Miss Maude Shirey, for she was almost engaged while she was attending school. Her future, however, is a bright one and she has no cause to worry. In the southern part of York County a new high school will be erected. Miss Grove will be elected principal of this high school, and will there spend the greater part of her life. 256 T () IJ c II S T O N I : Miss Mary Venter will continue to study music, and in a few years she will travel around the world doing concert work. Miss Myrtle Fiero will become very much interested in woman's suffrage and will become a very prominent suffragette. Mr. Jonas Bucher will enter a law school next fall. After his graduation he will establish a very extensive practice in Cumberland County. Miss Jessie Carney will compose a new “Comedy of Errors,” in which the Hertzler Twins will play the leading roles. All that can be said about Miss Bender’s future is embodied in this little poem. 0 Millersville! I love thy Model School, One pupil there who never broke a rule, I’ll long for thee, but soon I will return To spend my days in happiness, and never more to yearn. Miss Alice McConnell will teach in New Jersey for a few years. She will become so infatuated with the gay life of New York City that she will never return to her former home. In a few years she will marry a New Yorker,” many years her senior, and become very comfortably settled in that great metropolis. Mr. Norman Hunt-y.inger will make Hegins his future home. He will acquire the prin-cipalship of the high school, and will very ablv till that position. However, he will hot lead a quiet life, for he will be one of the most prominent politicians of that section of the country. Miss Elsie Lehman will teach school when she leaves here, but only for a short time, for she will be very seriously wounded by one of Cupid’s arrows. Miss Eva Ralph will return to her home at Williamstown. She will not teach as she had planned to, but will remain at home and assist her father. Miss Ethel Shroy will make Philadelphia her future home. She will compose a book of poems which will make her famous. Miss Eva Rees will be very unhappy after she leaves Millersville because she was forced to leave “ Noise” there. Millcrs-ville, however, will prove too great an attraction for her and so she will soon return to make it her home. Miss Ida Young will teach school very successfully in her home town. Do not be alarmed, some gallant youth will rescue this fair miss” from becoming an old maid. Miss Rhea Opie will leave soon alter school closes for England, where she will visit relatives. The country will prove so charming to her that she will spend the greater part of her life 257 T 0 U C II S T O X H there. Miss Lillian Bashore will go to Kentucky where she will become the wife of an Evangelical minister. She and her husband will become interested in missions and they will be sent to India as missionaries. Mr. Miles Hummer will be very successful in his teaching, but he will not be satisfied with such work. Consequently he will undertake to lead a band which will tour the country. There is a large tobacco farm about three miles west of Millcrsville. The Conestoga river flows through the farm, forming a ford. Mr. Ralph Landes will become the future owner of the farm and will there spend the rest of his life. However, not alone, for when the toils of day are over he will very pleasantly spend the evenings with a “ Maiden (at the) ford.” Suddenly all became quiet and I looked up and found the old man had vanished. 1 arose and. meditating, walked slowly back to school. Last month 1 received a notice that the Class of 1910 was going to have a reunion on June 24?, 1925. I had visited the school quite frequently, but I always missed my classmates. When this notice came 1 looked forward with great joy to the coming day. When I entered the train 1 saw a well-dressed man sitting bv the window. His face seemed familiar, but not until I saw the flower in his button-hole did I recognize him as Mr. Striekler. He had come from Chicago, where he is one of the best architects of the city. At Harrisburg we saw o.u r old friend, Fanny rmberger,enter the car, and she introduced the tall, light-haired man with her as her husband. Fanny said that, on leaving school, she taught four vears in Lebanon and was then married, since which time she has been living in Harrisburg. We were sorry to hear that she had receiver! a letter from Ivva Kreider saying she could not be present at our reunion, as her term as teacher of gymnasium at Indiana Normal School had not expired. Miss Wissler. who is in California with her uncle, sent word that she would not be present. T () U C II S T O N E We had scarcely realized that we were in Lancaster when we found ourselves shaking hands with one who used to l e Ella Glat-felter, but who has married a Lutheran minister, and is now living in Newark, X. J. On reaching Millersville we were welcomed by Miss Lank, who is assistant in the Model School and has charge of the Kindergarten. We were also met by our friend, Belle Morgan, who, after leaving school, taught two years in Norristown and then spent a year in Europe, most of the time in Scotland. Shortly after her return to America she became Mrs. Miller, and since then has been living in Philadelphia. While we were speaking we noticed a small gentleman coming toward us from the science building, and who was it but Mr. Young. Me invited us to the science building, where he had on exhibition the work of his manual training classes. After we examined the work he led us into a small annex room where there was some beautiful furniture, which he told us was to be taken into his home the next year, when Miss Hauser would give up her position as teacher of German at Wellesley. We then sauntered over to the gate to meet the next car. We soon greeted Yiella Stafford, who is the primary teacher at Oxford. Her face still wears that happy expression of one who thoroughly enjoys her work. The most remarkable change about her is that now she firmly believes in the old maxim, Spare the rod and spoil the child Ada Shelly was on the same car. however she is no longer Miss Shelly. When she left school she went to Wilson College, but she did not like this school as it was so far from Lancaster. During her second year she came home on account of illness and never went back to college. But who was the tall, stately lady who seemed to have a college air about her? We soon saw that it was our classmate, Mabel Plvmire. She said she excused her classes in Latin at Yassar fora few days so that she might come back to her Alma Mater. Just then we saw a cloud of dust approaching, and soon we beheld Ida Kafroth getting out of her father’s automobile. She has 259 T O U C H S T () N E become a trained nurse and works in the new hospital at Honey Brook. On entering the main building we found two letters. The one was from Miss Beattie, stating that she was in New York visiting friends and would not be present. The other was signed L-e-i-g-h-X-o-r-a. We could not imagine who this could be until someone said it was one of our Lenora’s jokes, and that she had reversed her name. She stated that she was the wife of a Professor at Harvard. At the banquet Mr. Miller was toastmaster, and in his address lie told us that he had taken the Agricultural Course at State College, and was now a scientific farmer in the northwestern part of Lancaster County. Had it been proper we would have asked him who the light-haired lady was by his side. Mr. Miller then asked others to tell what they had done since they left school. Miss Book informed us that she took a course in Scranton Business College and is now a private secretary to the Governor of Pennsylvania. Miss Bard told us that she is matron in the Industrial School at Lancaster. Mr. Eshleman stated that after lie had finished the electrical engineering course at State College, he was raised from one position to another until now he is assistant manager in the General Electric Company of New York. When Miss Chandler was asked for her history she said that there was little to tell, as she took the library course at New York, and since then has been the Librarian at Millcrsville. Ourfriend, Florence, was quitcembarrassed when called upon as Miss Evans, but this soon wore off when she told us how happy she was in her home in Lebanon County. Shesaid that Miss Bankes had married a society man of Washington and the following week was going to give a reception at their home in honor of the President. Miss Brubaker said she was living a quiet life in Lititz, where she is an office-girl in the Ideal Chocolate Factory. We were pleased to learn that Miss Raymond, who had returned from Australia, where she had spent a year in an endeavor to regain her health, which had been shattered by too close application to her work as seamstress, had fully recovered. 2( 0 T () U C H S T O N E Mr. Brunner is a travelling salesman for Wanamaker's Department Store at Philadelphia, and he is actually so interested in his work that when he gave his talk he could hardly keep from publishing his wares. Miss Weidler said that she is living in Baltimore, where she is teaching music. She also stated that she assists with the music in Rev. Hill’s church. Of course, we all wanted to hear from Rev. Hill. He told us that he has been pastor in the Presbyterian Church of Baltimore for three years. Previous to this he was pastor in the Presbyterian Church at Harrisburg. Mr. Hill has changed very slightly as to his appearance, he still has that reverential manner about him. just then a strange fruit was passed, and although we did not know what it was, each took one and inquired from his neighbor the name of the delicious fruit. When the last was taken from the dish a letter was found from Miss Wolf saying that, after teaching two years, she went to California, where she became interested in the work of Mr. Burbank. She had just finished developing the “plum-cherry” which she sent to us, so that we might taste the first crop. We were just ready to leave when in walked a lady whom we recognized as Miss Lefevre, and we recalled that she was the one who always came back to school the day after she was supposed to be there. 261 T O U C H S T O N E Our Motto A There was a kin of Portugal, So history doth tell, Who took to be his motto, • Desire to do well.” It was his guide in everything; It made him wise and good ; And so the Class of Nineteen Ten Has done the best it could. To follow him unto the death With vision never blurred, And chose as theirs his motto, which Speaks volumes in each word. ''Desire” the primary motive is, In nature through and through, Of all that is accomplished, and The mother of “To do.” • To do means not to hesitate. To act without delay. To seize each opportunity Before it pass away. But “ Well must, of necessity, E’er follow in their wake, Pointing out the proper path For each of them to take. 263 T O r C H S T () X E When action with her mother I'or good tilings is at work It always will be quite in vain For evil thoughts to lurk. And watch for any opening To pierce our armor bright; For w II watch and be alert To Fight for Truth and Right.” While on vve march to victory Let each one do his part, Sincere and pure and Rich in Truth,” To ever keep his heart. Then don’t forget our motto, But to it e’er be true: Whatever you may be in life, “ Desire well to do.” 264 T O II C II S T 0 X E The Story of a Hat fi In the city near our village, Near the bustling, busy Normal, She, a girl so tall and stately, She, the loved of all the teachers. On the streets of Lancaster Walking with a crowd of students. Students full of joy and laughter. Of a sudden something happens, Of a sudden silence falls, And we speak to those around us (We, the laughing, chattering students) Speak with wonder in our voices, Then with one accord we turn there, Turn to view a cause for laughter: She, the cold, the stiff, the prudent, Down the street at full speed runneth— Runneth, lest she be too late For down the street a hat is going, Going at a rapid pace, While our laughter ripples slowly, And the sound goes clearly, slowly, Through the blustry air of morning, As she waits there stern and sombre, Waits until perchance a youth. One of goodly form and stature, Tall, erect, with eyes of midnight. Sees the hat careering downwards Downwards to his very feet. 265 T O U C II S T () N E She, the girl so tall and stately, Speaks thus to the graceful youth: • May Minerva send you wisdom, Wisdom, not like mortals ken!” Then at last she thanked him sweetly, Thanked him for his useful service. Wc. the maidens, laughing gavlv, Gayly waved a fond farewell. • • • • Now we’ll never tell another Of what happened in the city, In the eitv near our village, Near the hustling, busy Normal, Hut with you we’ll have this moral, Leave it near the scene of action— Pin your hat on firm and straight, Pin it well, Oh, comrade Senior, Next time there may be no youth. 266 T O U C II S T () N E A Midnight F(‘iis Knock! Knock! Knock! Nobody would attach anything unusual to such a sound if heard in the halls at Millcrsvillc Normal near the retiring hour. But come let us investigate. Cast your eyes upon one of the transoms above a door and, behold, something is being nailed across it. Surely the rays of light from the hall cannot disturb the peaceful slumber of a tired school girl, so this cannot explain its purpose. What then, can it be? Let us go inside that closed door and discover the cause. What do we find? Girls, a score or more, stacked up furniture, chatting dishes, packages and cooking utensils. Ding! Dong! Last bell has rung; lights are all extinguished, and silence reigns supreme. Hall teacher quietly surveys her domain and decides that all is well. A short time elapses, during which slight murmurs and whispers are heard. Gradually this grows louder, and bv the time the two hands of the clock coincide there is quite a stir in that mysterious room. Soon an odor comes to us. How sweet and persuasive! A thing that has missed our senses since vacation. Bang! Crash! Hark! Hush! Some one is coming. Stop laughing. Not a word. Then once more all is quiet. False alarm, girls begin chattering, cooking continues and the sentence, What she doesn’t know won’t trouble her,” is frequently heard. Soon a table is set, covered with delicacies suitable for a king, (concerning table linen, etc., ask the girls). The following might give you a slight conception of the repast: 267 T O U C H S T O N E Menu. Des Ponimes de Terre aver la creme. Millionaire Fudge. Jambon fritc. Les Raisins Blanches. 1'ne salade, suivant la raison. Des Praises avee de creme. Ocufs A la co(|uc. Du fromage A la creme. Creme glace. Gateaux. Cocoa. Now the best part of all. the feast. Everybody eats to her heart's content, but, when the ice-cream time comes, the ice-cream cannot be found. Alas! too much hot-air, it has disappeared. A debate follows on the question whether it is proper to put things in order then or later in the morning, and the latter is decided upon. The “tweeny, weeny” hours of the morning have arrived and each tired girl begins to feel a little “ whuzzy in her head, and sleep soon overcomes all. The results of these memorable fetes, commonly known as midnight feasts, can be easily learned from any girl whoever attended a Normal School. 268 T () V C If S T N B Hecognhioii Day at tlio Normal The brilliant December sun shone brightly at midday over the roofs of the Old Normal building, gilding the dome and flashing back from the windows of Science Hall. It flamed upon the sparkling waters of the lake, and it, in its turn, reflected back the ray. Classes at the Normal were suspended as the celebration of Recognition Day, one of the cardinal days in the history of the school, made necessary a release from class-rooms for the afternoon, and at the ringing of the dinner bell, students traversed the building with light hearts, the halls re-echoing with their merry voices, for the burden of the afternoon’s unprepared lessons had vanished. On December 2, 1859, this institution had l een recognized by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a State Normal School, and the fiftieth anniversary of that eventful day was fittingly celebrated bv appropriate exercises held in the auditorium on that afternoon. Into the hearts of many was brought a sense of triumph and pride, especially to those occupying prominent seats on the platform, among whom were our Principal, Dr. K. (). Lytc, who, during his term, had practically reorganized the school; Jonas B. Martin, a member of the first building committee ; Andrew M. Frantz, Esq., Dr. P. Y. Iliestaml, and Mr. Henry Bowman, one of the first directing spirits. This group is not complete without mention of Dr. Andrew K. Byerly, the grand Old Man of Millersville, honored and revered by Faculty and students alike, who has stood by the school from mere infancy until this day of splendid fruition. To the joyful notes of the chapel bell seven hundred merry lads and lassies trooped obediently to the chapel. As they entered the 269 T O r c H S T ( X E sacred edifice a silent hush fell and they reverently took their places. With majestic tread the choir entered to the strains of“ Praise Ye the Father,” the words of which resounded with melodious sweetness, filling the old chapel to its height. This body having reached their high awMofty places, favored the audience with the anthem, Hark, Hark, My Soul.” With a silent cheer for the choir a hush fell over the audience and a long but interesting program was rendered as follows: Invocation, Rev. Geo. A. Whitmore, after whioh the audience united in singing We Hail Thee, Alma Mater.” written by our Principal. Miss Landes then read from a school catalogue. 18f 9-1860. its account of Recognition Day.” Abide With Me was rendered in a touching manner by Miss Scott. Dr. Lytc gave an interesting address on the achievements of the school, which was followed by Millersville,” the school song. The Anniversary address was then delivered by Dr. Byerlv, who related the school’s red-letter days. Following this were addresses by the faithful trustees, and the exercises were brought to a close with the singing of The Commencement Hymn,” after which the benediction was pronounced bv Rev. Whitmore. 270 T U C II S T () N E A Moonlight Walk A Picture the Millersvillc campus. The tinkling and splashing of fountains Is heard like music at t wilight. The sentinel cedars and pine trees Stand grim with a Spartan-like purpose to stand till the school falls in ruin. To the south, quite near the boys' building, is a grove, to our Principal's thinking (Using the words Ileuses) “the most beautiful spot on the campus.” There’s a line that, like an equator, runs through the south of the chapel. Which cuts olV the rest of the campus, where the ladies wander at will That which by decree of the teachers belongs to the male student body. Hut so have the rules been perverted that this beautiful grove is deserted While the rest of the campus is dotted with groups and couples of students. • • • Such is the Millersville campus, but where, oh where, are the students ? Where are the groups and the couples (formed spite of the rule which prohibits) That recently colored the campus and shattered its silence with laughter? The bell that was sounded at seven has scattered them all by its pealing, 271 T O U C H S T () X E Scattered and called them to chapel, lor this is a Friday and Page night; But nowit is almost eight-thirty and there in the Room of Corn-mi ttces Five girls are patiently waiting to take the next car for their home town. Suddenly one is inspired, and she whispered with breath quite abated, “It isn’t too late, and it isn't too far, and the moon’s too lovely to miss—” Were they slow ? Not at all! To her way of thinking, how quickly they fall! “ But, wait—you’ve a date at the gate,” said another to Prof, cjuite in secret. Oh! he shall go back for four others tonight and we’ll ten of us walk into town.” Then brave Hairbreadth Harry was somewhat contrary and said, “No. I won’t,” While Muggsy was in an awful plight, she had a pair of new pumps on. One had the blues, and one new shoes, and three of us suitcases to carry. Did we stop lor small matters like that ? )h, no! they made us determined. What must poor Muggsy do but remove her new shoes and open her suitcase For old ones. Harry, brave boy, to our infinite joy said she'd go on the ear And take those horrid suitcases to town. Now please turn your eves to a woeful tableau. A ear, underway! And four maids in dismay! Two are holding suitcases! Then up rose Cliff, the rock of our hope and clung to the end of the car. Grabbed one in his hand, while another is held by one in fear running after. That trial is o’er and down the street we four are walking so slowly. 272 T O U C H S T O N E When what is that step and whose is the form that nears us so surely. 'Tis Dr. Hull’s tread and that is his head and that the kind of hat he wears. But, no! Once more, the danger’s o’er and soon they hear the footsteps of four And they know that the fates all are with them. Oh. yes, lie went back for others that night and eight of us walked to town. 273 T O U C H S T () N E Preparations for Photographer You sec in this the annual of our class, along with all the other productions, by means of which we have tried to give you a glimpse of our life here at the Normal, the likeness of each member of our band. Do they flatter us ? Not at all. Indeed, it is beyond the art of any photographer to portray fully our charms and graces. But. Oh, the trials and difficulties which we had to surmount until we were able to get even such results as you see! First among the things to be decided comes the question, “VYhat shall we wear?” “ What is most becoming to us?” If we cannot settle thisquestion ourselves, we canvass the halls to find out. Having decided upon our apparel, the next thing to do, if we do not have the required articles, is to borrow them. At last we are ready and we go to the photographer’s studio. Here our real trouble begins. Expressions, as well as clothing, must be smoothed and arranged; different poses must betaken and different lights tried. After all this we must look natural and pleasant, too, smile with our eyes, appear bright and interested as though a half hour of such nerve-racking exertion were not sufficient to drain us of every bit of energy we ever possessed; for it is well known that nothing is more tiring and exhausting than a severe mental strain. And nothing, not even the terror of a final examination, or of a first oration, can compare to the anguish which we must endure to give to you a view of ourselves. For the next few days each mail is eagerly scanned for the sight of a blue or red envelope. At last the proofs come, and there is more than a ripple of excitement among the originals, and busy and excited expressions of opinions among their friends. 274- TOUCHSTO N E The Senior Program t When a sensible man says something sensible, it is ignored; when a fool says something sillv, it is laughed at; when a great man says something great, or otherwise, it is taken as law, and acted upon accordingly, not only carried out to the letter, but the final period and quotation marks, if there are any, are included. Upon no person, or group of persons, has the injustice of this method of proceeding fallen so heavily as upon the present Senior class at M. S. X. S. The advocates of the strenuous life never dreamed of the amount of toil and drudgery they were imposing upon the rising generation by their doctrines. Had they known this, and had it been known that they knew this, our Humane Societies would have punished them so severely, and so effectually, that they would have retracted all their teachings regarding the strenuousness in life, and spent the rest of their days in ease and luxury as a Normal School Principal ora country lawyer. But how could they tell what Herculean tasks would be set in persuance of their ideas, bv their loyal adherents, our esteemed Faculty ? While we blame them for teaching such an absurd doctrine, we blame our Faculty more for the greater absurdity ot following it, when outlining the course of study, for this our last year under their solicitous care, and destroying, completely, all hopes for social pleasures and enjoyments. Our day opens with Literature. English, American, ancient and modern, and the productions of the future. Libraries arc emptied pell-mell into our little knowledge boxes. And to occupy our leisure hours, we must study, scan, and criticise all verse, from “Mother Goose Rhymes” to Chaucer’s “Canterberry Tales.” Mathematics comes next in order. Oh the delights of complet- 27 T O r C H S T ONE ing Solid Geometry, Trigonometry and Surveying in twenty-six weeks, with Spring term given up entirely to the delights of Arithmetic! Only by the “elite,” who have experienced these pleasures, can they be fully appreciated. It is not often that we must spend more than four hours daily in the preparation of our lesson, while we cheerfully (?) sacrifice all our Saturdays to examinations and Mathematical Sociables. The latter events always prove to be so very entertaining. We all gather around the cheerful blaze of the “logs” and decipher the “sines in the flames, and crack Mathematical nuts, while we tell delightful little conundrums,—excuse me, I mean formulae, to each other. It goes without saying that nothing strenuous is connected with the translation of fifty lines of Virgil, daily, with «n modest amount of Grammar thrown in, free of charge. Only the unaccomplished riders become fatigued bv this small item in our daily routine. And since we are accustomed to hard work, making a few Leyden jars, dynamos and steam engines does not affect us at all, or even interfere with our “ lab” duties. Neither should we feel the strain of memorizing the endless number of laws, and deriving the unlimited number of formulae, which make the whole subject ol Physics so delightful, and so simple. Did I hear somebody say “History of Ed?” The sentiments which the mention of that branch of study arouses are not suitable for publication in polite society, so I shall pass over it in silence. As Seniors, we must give a parting glance, lasting for a few hours daily, during Spring term, to “our author,” and also give a considerable amount of our time to a hard subject known as“Rock-ologv.” Then, at this point, to break the monotony and to restore our failing energies, we repair to the “Gym” and do artistic Sweed-ish Dances, and take a ride on the “Carosel.” Refreshed in mind and body, we assemble in Model School for methods in controlling (vain delusion!) the children placed beneath our care, and those children!!! Words fail me here. The English language seems barren and scant, when brought face to face with a situation such as this. Besides the regular round of class recitation and preparation, what demands are made upon our valuable time by the various or- 270 TOUGHS T C) N E ganizations of the school! The Temperance Union, V. W.and V. M. C. A. and the Literary Societies all seem insatiable in their desire for Senior talent toadd the necessary brilliancy to their programmes. In their respective seasons come tennis, basket ball and foot ball, and. in all of these, Senior skill must, of necessity, lead, and in so doing, more valuable hours are consumed. Last, but not least, is the unlimited and unappreciated amount of help and advice we must give the under classmen, our worthy successors. The magnitude of this undertaking being surpassed only by their ignorance. In a day of twenty four hour's length, a few hours of which must be devoted to much needed repose, where do you imagine we could find a spare minute to cultivate the art of conversation and other social accomplishments, in order to fill the demands society makes upon us, without neglecting any of the work already referred to? Alas! Owing to the heavy pressure exerted upon us. we were forced to neglect all sociables shamefully, but this is the only place of our education which you will find deficient. In brief, this is the work to be completed while we are enrolled as Seniors, all details and the most severe demands upon our time and strength, having been omitted. We have done our best, but we are only human, and if, at any time, we have fallen below par, charge it, not to our account, but to the over-enthusiastic advocates of the strenuous life. T () U C H S T O N E Resolution A Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who ne’er at eve to self hath said: Tomorrow I'll get out of bed At five, and study, till this weary head Knows all its lessons from the start. Nor from my books will I depart Till all my tasks I know by heart. Breathes there a man with soul so dead. Who ne’er at break of morn hath said: “() mv, 1 dearly love mv bed, It seems to soothe this weary head.” And then hath turned him o’er again And slept and slept and slept till ten, And wondered how he'd get up then. 27S T () U C H S T O X E A Toast We’ll drink to thee, Memory, Of happy Normal Days; Our song shall rise beyond the skies. In echoes of thy praise. We'll live in thee, 0 Memory, The days long since gone by ; For sweeter yet is Millersvillc Viewed with the aged eye. We'll die with the, () Memory, Remembrance in ns still, )ur souls above in pensive love Will cling to MillersVille. 279 T O V C H S T O N E A Model Recitation A (Consider tin Trials of tin Teacher) Any remarks? None. Well I really don’t see where you spend your time. Seniors should knowhow to study. You really seem to be so conceited about your own opinions that you don’t try to get the thought of the author. You may discuss the next topic. ♦ Any criticism? What does the lady mean? Very well, but I wish you would try to grasp the essentials; you really don’t seem to have any power of discrimination as to what is important and what is not. Any child can tell the stories but it takes a person with brains to pick out the essentials. “ What was the result of this movement, Mr. W ? (No answer). 1 wish some of you would do your sleeping at night; why you seem to take more interest in foot ball than in your lessons and yet you expect to become teachers. Will you be satisfied with recitations like that from your pupils? I think not.’’ “You may write that discussion on the board, Mr. O. You can’t? Did you study vour lesson ? How long? Well, I don’t see how some of you expect to graduate, ’93. You seem to be content to let four of five do the reciting every day. The rest come to class and sit here day after da v, and day after day. and never say a word ; they think they do their duty by looking on while others do the talking. Why, you don’t even try to listen. You are here in body but your minds are far away.” “ Well, there’s the bell. I consider this a poor recitation.” 280 T O r C H S T () N E Ai War in iho Choir A The high soprano made the start With naught to curb her speed, The chapel walls almost fell down, But little did she heed The alto met her on the way, Engaged her in a “scrap ; The tenors, ready lor the charge, Came up to till the gap. And all about the field of war. The bassos raged and fumed. Then all of them their forces joined— The chickens all were doomed. And all the while the instrument Was thund'ring ’bove the rest: It seemed as if to drown them out The poor thing tried its best. But all at once a higher power The battle stilled and hushed. Then all that had come out alive From out the chapel rushed. 281 T O U C II S T 0 N E Classmates Brave knights and maidens fair, vve are Just entering on a private strife. To stamp our fame upon the stars And be the best throughout our life. While traveling on this path begun, Broad fields appear lxTore our eyes, We see new triumphs to be won To write our fame upon the skies. ’Tis true, our path’s not strewn with flowers, But noble valor, strength of brain, Will urge us to our utmost pow’rs To win the heights which we’d attain. And now we say, come weal, come woe, “ Be guilty of no laggard’s crime. Let’s pluck the fruits that ahvay grow I pon thy bank, stream of Time! “Our compliments, tho’ from the heart, Can on thee no more vanity mend, For that has been the largest part Of thee, O class of 3 910!” 2N2 TOUCHSTONE Our Last Will and Testament A We, the Class of 1910, of the Millersville State Normal School, County of Lancaster, State of Pennsylvania, being in good bodily health and of sound mind and memory, calling to mind the uncertainty of our life at the aforesaid school (it being liable to suspen-sion at any time), considering the approach of a natural death from old age, and being desirous of settling our affairs and direct, ing how our estates shall lx disposed of after our decease, while we have strength and capacity to do so, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making null and void all other last wills and testaments by us heretofore made. And first, we commend ourself to the honored Faculty who, alone, made it possible for us to reach this high estate, beseeching them to be merciful to us and to remember only our good character and honest work, forgetting, if possible, all our faults, such as “snapping” and “ tampering” with the electric lights. Then let our funeral be carried on with as little expense and ostentation as possible by our executors herein after named. And, as to our worldly estate and all the property, real, per. sonal or mixed, of which we shall be entitled at the time of our decease, we devise, bequeath and dispose thereof in the manner following, to wit: Imprimis:—It is our will that all our just debts and funeral charges be paid out of our estate, as soon after our decease as shall be found convenient. Item:—We give, devise and bequeath to the beloved Middlers all the rooms and furnishings which have, from generation to generation, belonged to Seniors. Also an abundant supply ol ponies 2S3 T O U C II S T () N E and automobiles, together with stables and garages where they may l c kept when not in use, so that they will not wander into the elass-rooms and alarm the teachers. Item:—To the Class of 1911 we also will our respective seats in chapel, with this one condition: that, if any of our members should come back to do ghostly penance as Resident Graduates, such members shall have undisputed right to the first of the afore, said seats and. under no consideration, shall any of the aforesaid Class occupy them at the same time with any such Resident Graduates. Item:—We give, devise and bequeath to the Juniors and Preps a never-ending supply of pencil stubs, pen-holders and erasers, as well as numerous other articles too small to mention, all to be equally divided between them. Item:—To the Model School we leave a great period of peace and quiet after all the trials and tribulations inflicted on them by us. Item:—To the Faculty we bequeath an excellent model which may be used for many classes yet to come, with little or no attention. If each class conforms to this model. Millersvillc will, in a short time, be unsurpassed in all things. Item:—We give and bequeath to the school a fine record in Athletics and thcAnnual Foot Ball Game with the Navy on Thanksgiving Day. Lastly:—We do nominate and appoint our dearly beloved successor, the Class of 1911, to be the executors of this our last will and testament. In testimony whereof, we. the said Class of 1910, have to this our last will and testament, subscribed our name and affixed our seal, on this the first dnv of April in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ten. Tm-: Class of 1910. The above instrument was now here subscribed by the Class of 1910, the testator, in the presence of each of us; and was at the same timedcclarcd by them to be their last will and testament; and we, at their request, sign our names hereto as attesting witnesses: The Juniors, residing at Millersvillc, in Lancaster Co. The Preps, residing at Millersvillc, in Lancaster Co. 2S4- T O r c II S T () N E A Word of Courage A The goal is reached, the outstretched course is run, The victor’s meed is ours, and we have done. With all that dims the path of progress, years Seem days, and days seem seconds, now that fears. Dissolved, have disappeared amid the accomplished record. Henceforth time must have new meanings and afford Perpetual triumph—ne’er dismay untoward. So here we stand and mark the milestone past; Recall the memories issuing first and last. From out the associations of these years, Embrace the pleasant; shed a few salt tears; Smile at the recollections of our innocent days,— Our adolescence, quaking, queer, and awkward ways. That held us in suspense and failure fast. What currents start with every back-look now! Those dreaded shapes that, on beating brow, If high success were seen professors vast, Have, in our new attainments, finally passed into the realm of men-And we ourselves, transformed Bv reaches into learning, sped unharmed Into their noble semblance-men at that! So Middlers, Juniors, and ye Preps so small, Look up, take heart, be not in distard thrall I nto the “ Impossible!” Scorn that coward word That we have put to flight! And by us pattern If on the street of learning you would fatten. 285 T 0 U C II S T 0 N E What we have done, perhaps ye, too, may do ; Screw up your courage! dare be true Unto the example handed down to vou! But with this word of solemn admonition, Comes o'er us all, a feeling like contrition For what is vanished. Have we shorn the lock Of Samson strength, and is it the Future mocks, Like some Delilah, at our untried power? Do “sheepskins” carry in them all we need ? Will absence from these halls an ignorance breed ? Say, fellows, darkening o’er us lower Some vengeful fate, unless we make our hour, And by inherent vigor “ take the lead.” What then if sadness comes with our reflections That Normal days are past, and the sweet recollections Of chum and classmates all subside with time, This e'er abides: No change of fortune, clime. Or any other circumstance can spoil the truth Infixed into our hearts; Time’s growing tooth, Nor all that beats upon us, can our soul despoil. We act in lofty spheres, The Holy Grail Called forth no higher ardor than we yield in toil For truth; and bv, and in that sign We “live, move, have our being, in fine. Come, then, and fill the beaker to the brim. And quaff the strength of reason’s joy! No sin Ties in such action. And may propitious days Still measure to the needs of learning’s ways. Professors, student, and tender “ Preps, Good fortune ’tend you ! May your steps Like giant paces move toward the unseen. Where God stands regnant! As for us No higher blessedness than this is near— To do the right untrammeled without fear. 280 T O U C H S T O X E The Reverie of a Senior A Senior of the Normal sat buried deep in thought While a vision rose before him which his whole attention caught. Tis a poor forsaken Freshman, from his home just torn away. And he wastes his time in mourning for his comrades, blithe and gay. The stalwart Senior watches and is tilled with sympathy, But the sad-eyed Freshman dries his eyes and whistles merrily. He has passed the stage of weeping and his life is all good-will. For now he is a Junior—at dear old Millersville. The vision now grew dimmer and almost passed away, But the Senior liked the fellow and he plead with him to stay. So he lingered, as a Middler, and he scoffed and mocked and jeered, And he thought himself superior, his prowess to be feared. But soon his mocking laugh became a smile quite grave And he spent his surplus energy another’s wounds to lave, And he swears he’ll e’er be loyal, be his fortune good or ill, For now he is a Senior—at far-famed Millersville. The dreaming Senior starting, swore he’d never be Any weeping, moping Freshman.—No reckless Junior he! And no scoffing, jeering Middler in this cold world’s busy din, But a Senior, grave and gentle, helping weaker ones to win. He vows a vow to Heaven, all his long life through, To stand up for all that’s noble, to be honest, brave and true; And thus to his God he breathes it “As I climb life’s rugged hill. I’ll ever be a credit—to dear old Millersville. 287 STAGH CURTAIN 1910. - KDITINC.
