AMANDA I.ANUKS Vinniidn Landes Miss Amanda Landes was born in Collegeville, Montgomery county. Pennsylvania, but lived in Lancaster county most of her life. After graduation from the Lancaster City High School, she taught for sonic time in the public schools of the county. Following this she studied elocution at the National School of Elocution and )ratory of Philadelphia, from which she holds a diploma. Later she took the regular course at Millersville, and was graduated as valedictorian of the Class of 1885. That Iter work at Millersville was appreciated was evidenced by the fact that the next year she returned as assistant teacher, and a year later was made head of the Department of Reading and Elocution. In order to prepare herself further for this position she studied elocution with Dr. Emerson, of Boston; F. F. Mackey, of New York: and S. II. Clarke, of Chicago. Later she t«x k a'course in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. For many years Miss Landes has been active in the cause of Temperance. W hen the Young W oman’s Christian Temperance Union was organized in the Normal School, she was one of the first officers. I ler splendid work is evidenced by the fact that since the organization of the Union more than fifteen hundred names have been signed to the constitution ami pledge book. Miss Landes is now filling the position of president in the School Union. Her influence in the cause of Temperance has extended beyond the limits of the school. She is president of the Lancaster County W C. 'I . U.. and much of the splendid work of this Union is due to the inspiration of her efforts. Miss Landes has won more than local fame as a reader, and her services are always in demand at institutes and other entertainments besides our own school affairs. T () U C 11 S T () E We can but faintly express our gratitude for the valuable aid and encouragement Miss Uuule always gives us in our literary and social affairs. I low valuable this help is may be plainly seen at times, for. whenever anything of a social nature is in course of preparation, ‘‘Ask Miss Landes, Miss Landes knows,” are the words heard most frequently. In recognition of the great debt of gratitude we owe her. we dedicate to her the Year-book of the Class of 1912. as a humble and inadequate token of our appreciation of her active and willing service, and as a lasting memorial of our respect, admiraticta and affection. A HIT OF CAMPfiS NORTH OF THE LAKE T O U C H S T O N 1 : 7 Greeting To the faculty, student body, alumni and friends, the Class of 1912 extend greetings. In the preparation of this volume. Thk Touch stonk. we have endeavored to keep the welfare of The Normal constantly in mind and have .-pared no pains to bring forth something that would properly represent the class and also the school. Mthough we met with many trial- and difficulties in the publication of this hook, we will not speak of them, as we encountered many pleasant spots in our journey, where we could rest our weary souls. The slams and hits. indulged in by the editors, are given with a kindly spirit and we hope they will he received in such a manner. With a 'igli of relief we lay aside our pen. sweep out our office, and go to rest our weary minds and bodies. Thk Editors.

KRKIDKR TO L C II S T O X i 27 In Meinoriam ”( for tin- touch of a vanished hand And the sound of a voice that is still! John M. Kreidcr. a member of the class of 1012. was stricken down while journeying in the pleasant paths of early manhood. While fishing in the Susquehanna river. Monday, June 20. 1911, he was overcome by the current and drowned. Mr. Krcider was born at Mt. Xebo. I’a.. May 16, i«S8«S. lie was a most earnest worker of our class and Vice President of the V. M. C. . The sad accident cast a shadow of sorrow and pain over the whole school and brought to u more forcibly the uncertainty of life with its hopes and fears. 28 T (U’CHSTI) X E Ei na Mae Axnk............................... Lancaster, Pa. Page. Her |iOH«r of gentleness i� irresistible. —Paste. Edna is one of our tallest girls. She is the champion dancer among the Lancaster girls, and would rather dance than cat. In spite of her great love for dancing she could not endure gymnasium and is a noted gym bagger. She is a faithful worker and studies diligently One would be led to think by her attitude toward the opposite sex at Millcrsville that boys have no charm for her. But we have lately heard that a Johnstown flood of love has been slowly undermining her heart and we are afraid on account of its persistent energy it may sweep away her heart e'er she is aware. Slur has a charming personality and succeeded well in teaching in the Model School, a fact which argues well for success in her future calling. Clifton Akthi-k..........................Coplav. Pa Normal—Varsity and Class Basket Ball—Class Foot Ball—Cap't Varsity Base Ball—Class and Society President. “Blow. I ukIc blow. Tell of deeds and his glory.“ •'Cliff i' one of those light-hearted, good-natured fellows who does not believe in allowing duty to interfere in any way with pleasure. Mis desire to indulge in self-praise is excelled only by his desire to he like “Brother Bill. and we are sure if the description he gives of “Brother Bill is correct his aim is a noble one. That he is very popular with the young ladies is shown by the numerous letters wh'ch pour in from every town he has visited and by the tie voted attention he has given to one of our light-haired Lancaster girls. Cliff has rendered the class valuable service in the athletic contests ami we are glad to number him as one of the class of 1012. TO I'CI-IS T O N !•: • • Emma J.

You can understand this when you know that 'Carl' waits out in Tyrone For vacation, when Kmma comes home. And after a vacation Kmma is always very sleepy and often expresses her desire to he home again. She is very anxious to get hack to teaching, which she enjoys very much. Vc predict for her a bright future. Elsie I t mbnt.............................Ronk, Pa. “Silence i golden. Elsie is one of our quiet girls, both in the classroom and in day-student hall. You never know that Elsie is around unless you see her. She spends most of her time out of school in riding on the cars from Ronk to Millcrsvillc and hence gets little time to study. Of all n;� I words of tongue or pen. The saddest are these. “I’ve dunked again. On certain occasions these lines may l� c added: Rut sadder than these I have to say. “I’ve flunked in every class today. lint, never fear.

Page. “She fret lc� t the day (� gone Anti � omc work left undone.” Ruth graduated from Newport High School and came to the Normal in 1910 to continue her training for a teacher. In spite of the fact that hc took two years in one she could often l� c seen strolling on the campus after four o'clock in the evening, which needs no further explanation. When asked what she likes to do most of all she would answer, ”fio snapping” and Tease Miss Clark.” All this was while Ruth was a Midtiler. Now since she is a Senior she has put away childish things anti we notice a great change, for she is a very studious girl. Her favorite study is History of Education. She i' very anxious to be a teacher and we all wish her success in her work. Lkqn.v Bark.........................Marysville, Pa.

Marysville High School gave Leona her prep, education and in 1910 she turned her steps to the Normal, taking two years’ work in one. Her aim was to lie a teacher, but since she received the valentine from Stcclton and with it the proposal we fear that Russel in Panama ami her aim have l� cen forgotten. She has always been a good, quiet student and has shown great interest in Society work. We know, if she works as faithfully out of school a she has during her two years at the Normal, success will crown her efforts. T O I’CHSTO X E 3' Makoi.ii Bark.......................... .Lancaster.

In order to join this illustrious class he took two years in one. lie is very popular both with the hoys and the girls. Mathematics is his strongest branch while History of Education is—well, ask Harold alx ut it. He is an active member of the Normal Society and plays faithfully in the orchestra. Mthough so young, he is very much in love with one of the Middle girls, and judging by appearances lie will not Ik a bachelor school teacher very long. Edna Ba.sf.hoak......................Littlestown, Pa. Normal. “Virtue rs like a rich � tonc—best plain ct.” Edna came to us from Littlestown High School a quiet, genial, studious girl. She takes great delight in reading and is always anxious to have the necessary studying done to allow plenty of time for the library I took. She is always willing to help anyone who needs help and enjoys the pranks of the hall, often taking an active part. In the dining room she handles her fork with great skill lest she should drop a morsel of food on her large red tic. May-fortune smile on her and bring her much success. 32 T O U C H S T O N E AnviK Bkrtolet..................................Olcy. Pa.

Her love for reading is excelled only bv her desire to sew. cook and to learn to do all kinds of house work. We understand her motive in this and also her lack of interest in social affairs of the school when we know that Boyerstown holds all that is attractive to her.

'‘Contact with a high-minded woman i good for any man.” “C. Homer came here alone, But goes away the head of a home. Homer made his first appearance in civilization in 1910 by coming to Millersvillc from the mountains of Bedford county. He appreciated the faculty so much that he decided to make one member of it his co-partner for life. He occupied the famous “little red house during the fall and winter terms.

She likes being a day student best, for then study period docs not grow so monotonous. and the trip to and from school on the train are always a source of great pleasure to her. As a remit she can now tell you all of a brakeman's duties. She i a loyal member of the Page Society and has often entertained us with vocal solos.

Elsie has made a fast friend of one of the faculty, and now walks and talks and eats with her Whether Elsie continues in the clerical work when she graduates or whether she takes up school teaching, we know we will hear of her success St’siE Williams.....................Mahanoy City. Pa. Page. “For even though vanquished she could argue still.” After graduating from Mahanoy City High School. Susie came to Millcrsville Normal and joined the class of 1912. That she is a good student is evident from the fact that besides getting up early in the morning she has often been known to lock her chum out of the room that site might concentrate her mind on her work. She takes great delight in cooking and one of her prized cooking utensils is a Welsh teapot. When she can argue with sonic one she is happy and often docs much of her lecturing with her hands to the great amusement of her friends Susie is very anxious to be a teacher and our best wishes attend her. 94 T OI'CIISTO X E John Zimmerman........................Millcrsville.

T (ifCHSTH X K 95 Glass History, 1 2 The hour glass of Normal life for us has run. The sun dial, marred by the ravages of ruthless time, marks the lapse of three fast-fading years since that memorable September morn. when, amid the bustle and dm of the renewal of school life, the time-worn portals of the sacred shrine of learning again slowh unfolded and a vast concourse of representatives from all parts of the State enrolled as Juniors, their intention being to be ranked as members of the class of 1912. Deeply impressed by the significance of our first experience, fast realizing the true imjK rt of the coming strife, strong in the confidence of newly formed friendships, we lie encamped just within the outskirts � f the battlefield, fraught with a thousand hidden dangers, and to overcome these trials we meet in room E to remove these shackles of an unorganized band and clad ourselves in the attire for system t the work «� f the class of tot 2. and now we are organized as Juniors. The first year of our service, bringing its joys and pleasures, its trials and tribulations, its unsolved problems, dawns u|K n us. Prepared for the renewal of hostilities, reimbued with hopes and courage, with glorious ■'Gray and Gold'' streaming in the winds, no longer recruit but regular in the world of strife, onward we battle our array, swelling the record of our victories as we go. and with hoary hand Father Time chalks up the departure of another year and we are Middlers. Here our forces divide, some enrolling under the standards of Virgil and similar authors: others, contented with their Math.. continue under the leadership of Euclid, and again we resume our march and pitch camp for another battle. Roundabout the cherished forms of our comrade. lie strewn uj on the thorny field of learning, yet onward we press decked with the spoils of victory, although our ranks are no longer graced with the presence of many former warriors: yet well disciplined and dignified is the valiant band, seeking the coveted fruit of the tree of knowledge and with the prospect of greater glory than has ever been ours, we strive toward the goal fast brightening in the distance. Long since in the societies, in the various fields of athletics, music and debate our influence rfi T O V C H S T ) X E has been felt: our untiring zeal and devotion, our wisdom, ability and prowess has been exemplified by astonishing and incomparable results. Yet determined to elevate Gray and Gold upon the lofty pinnacle of renown, and to cause its diadem to shine with more brilliancy, onward we go. and by another faculty and State board examination and now we are Seniors. Here again we must pause for the unfortunate ones who were cut off by the reaper whose name is State Hoard. Now veterans in experience. we mount with comparative ease the remaining obstacles which beset our path and with our motto. Certum Pete Finem, we have always desired to uphold the name of our Alma Mater. hi the athletic field we have always been represented. In society work we have done our duty: in the Christian associations we have upheld the standard: in the class room we have taken our part, and as rapidly we arc nearing the close of our final year and the “parting of the ways.” when last adieus must be spoken and last handshakes exchanged, we leave our history here, onlv watching what destiny mav map out for us in years to come. J. W. Dodd. T O Lr C H S T O X E 97 The Daisy In a quiet, shady nook, With the murmur of the brook And the warbling songsters lyric sweet and clear, I was sea let! musing there, I loping some bright nymph of air Straying from her path might find me here, And offer to help me choose a dower, From those that grew in her secret bower. For the class of nineteen twelve. When a gentle tender voice— Oh! it made my heart rejoice. Softer, sweeter music never have I heard, And a fairy bright came there. Drifting through the calm, cool air. Gliding quickly, lightly as a bird. Who promised to help me choose a flower From those that grew in her secret bower. For tile class of nineteen twelve. Then she gently took my hand. Led me forth to fairyland, Dell, sequestered, where her richest flower grew Fright and gay in varied hue. Richly freaked and fresh with dew Gazing, charmed, I knew not which would do. And I asked her to help me choose a flower From those that grew in her secret bower. For the class of nineteen twelve. Then I spied the sweetest flower. Sparkling from a recent shower. (lazing there, I knew the search was o’er, This alone, thought I, will do. 9« 'I' OUCHSTO N E Fairest, brightest flower in view. Emblem of our class forevermore. And I thanked her for helping to choose the flower From those that grew in her eeret bower. For the class of nineteen twelve. Dainty daisy, snowy white, Like our noble thoughts so bright. Souls and deeds and future lives shall he: And a burnished golden heart Charming, truthful counterpart, ( f the guileless hearts of this great class you see.

Now we are beginning to be of some importance, for as Juniors and Preps we were nobodys. We have selected dark blue and gold for our class colors. In the next scene all nature is changed; the sky is cold, the trees are bare, everything is gloomy and desolate without. Soon the gloom vanishes and I see the artistically decorated chapel distinctly appearing before me. Here there C great rejoicing among all the students, for it is the evening of the 27th of January, the time for the Middler sociable. All assembled are delightfully entertained by an original play, entitled Mother (loose and Her Children. and bv excellent music furnished by the class orchestra. The time that the Seniors discovered that the Middlcrs were made of good material was at the Middler vs. Senior foot ball game. Even the Seniors’ moonlight practices did not win the game. The score was tie. The first class game of basket ball was played between the Middlcrs and Preps, which was a decided victory for the Middlcrs. The second contest was between the Seniors and Middlcrs. The Seniors had the advantage in having four 'Varsity players on their team, but the Middlcrs put up a hard fight, making the Seniors earn their victory. The final score was 32 to 13. We trust that in the future our success, which has been slowly but steadily advancing during the past year, may continue, for in the words of an old proverb. That which grows fast withers as rapidly: That which grows slowly endures.” The Senior classes before us have established a high standard of ex- T O I C I I S T o K ccllcncc. and ii i our ambition not only to equal this standard, but to surpass it and graduate triumphantly, with the assurance that no class has preceded ns with a higher degree of excellence. History of the Mi l ller Class as Others See Them “() wad some Power the liftie gie us To see ousel's as it hers see us ! It wad frac monie a blunder free us. ()n foolish notion.” Hack in the lim, dark days almost beyond recall, in the year 1911. word was received that the Middler class had been organized. Although there may be safety and strength in numbers, yet we. with the superior knowledge of Seniors, fully realize that quality does not always accom pane numbers. In this illustrious class we can find representatives of many nationalities, varied types of intellect and character, various sizes,— tall and lean, short and stout. Hut there is one characteristic common to all. Xow you may he startled to know that two hundred and forty-one people have a common characteristic, hut alas! 'tis true. The first evidence of this was revealed on Directors' Day. The Senior boys, desiring to increase their dignity and appear important, donned piccadillv collars. At noon what to our wondering eyes should appear but the Middlcrs in like attire? Has the reader caught the common characteristic? It pains the historian to make it any plainer, but for the benefit of the underclassmen we'll say—they're imitators. ()ur superiority in athletics was shown on the basket ball tloor. Mow we did pity the Middlcrs then! Prior to this, in fool ball, we had them quite alarmed, but we look pity on them lest they should have no history at all and we kept the score tie. Some may begin to think that the historian failed to mention that great event of January 27. Oh, no! Anything so worthy of mention could not be passed by. We must admit that the class of 1013 manifested some spirit on that occasion, but, alas! could it compare with the Senior sociable held in December? Lack of time and space forbid further enumeration of the qualities of our successors. Suffice it to say that, with all their faults, there is good mettle in the class of 1913. and may they keep up the pace and standards set by the class of 1912.

They, as you will know, have been here such a short time that the verdant color may be distinctly seen beaming from their faces, shining in their walk: in fact, radiating from their entire personage . We have, however, found them to be loyal supporters in the athletic contests. They were always ready to use the energy of their youth in cheering the victorious Seniors with Mings and yells at their class contests. They have not yet had a sociable, but that they are planning for one in the dim, far-off future we know from the fact that they are collecting dues this year to pay the expenses, when they are strong enough in numbers and ability to hold one. llhough they arc few in numbers there i some excellent material in this class and we are sure if they follow the example of their worthy Seniors they will be an honor to the school.

FAMILIAR SCHNHS. Q_C£LiJQ_in I. 4 T OL’C H S T O N E The Class of 1915 Anyone entering the gates f the Normal School at Millcrsvillc on the afternoon of Scptcmlier 4th might have seen, sprinkled among the crowd of grave, mature Seniors, and light-hearted, care-free Middlers and Juniors, a few unhappy, homesick, innocent, friendly children, who, knew not where to go nor what to do. “Who are they? a stranger might have asked; and the answer would have been. These are the embryo from which will spring in the fullness of time the illustrious class of 1915. In short, these are the Preps! These little ones soon became accustomed, and even attached, to their new home. In this they were often aided by the Seniors. Often one of these kind, wise-looking j ersons was stop| ed in the hall with such remarks as these. Where’s Room A ?” I can't find any political geography. Can you get ice cream cones on your book bill? and like questions. However, with such good advisers, they s x)n learned to direct themselves and became bright little students. They learned other things, too: for example, the l� oys learned practical housekeeping by actual performance of little tasks. The first thing the class of 1915 did to distinguish itself was to furnish several stars in foot ball. They kept up the good wl rk in basket ball by giving us some members of the second team and by putting up a good fight against tne Middlcrs. n the girls' side, however, they were not so lucky, as they were beaten by the Juniors in the inter-class tournament. Otherwise than in an athletic way the “Preps as a class have not been very active, but this is to be expected, as they are not really a class until they are Juniors. Still they are a promising set. and that they may succeed in all they do and win a brilliant future is the wish of the class whose record they may hope some day to equal—the class of 1912. A i I2( T () I C I! S T O N E Normal Literary Society Motto— Fight for Truth and Right. With the motto, Truth and Right. as a never-failing source of inspiration the work of the Normal Literary Society, dating from January 31, 1857. is. as of old, being conducted with the aim of preparing its members for the work of real life. It is not our aim to go into a long, detailed discussion of the founding and early years of our society. Other historians have done this for us and besides our interest lies in the immediate past and in the present. We dare not entirely overlook the past, for our existence today 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. On January 31. 1857. two years after the founding of the school, a committee consisting of Dr. Edward Brooks, who was the real founder of the society. Win. W. Fell. J. F. . Varro and J. C. Hunter, was appointed to draft a constitution and code of laws. This report was accepted. and on August 15. 1859. the society was incorporated. The present constitution, by-laws and rules of order, drawn up by E. Oram Lyte, J. Willi Westlake. J. C. Bell and X. C. Fetter, were adopted by the society June 22. 1872. They have been revised several times since then by committees appointed for that purpose, the last revision for the purpose of fitting it to our present requirements being made in 1899 by I I. Justin Roddy. Anna Dunstan and Morgan Evans. During the fall term debating teams were organized. These teams have been doing excellent work. Regular meetings were held every second Friday evening during the year. The work done in a regular meeting of the Normal falls under the general heads of essays, orations, debates. recitations and musical features. (ireat 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. We are proud of the achievements of the Normal Literary Society and we trust that they may be maintained by our successors, and that the members of the Normal Society may ever “Fight for Truth and Right.” T o VC II STO N E '?

There seemed to be a tradition that its organization was made in accordance with a suggestion trade by Hon. James I. Wickcrsham. who was then Principal of the School. It received its name from David R. Page, a prominent educator, who was the first principal of the First State Normal School of New York, and the author of a most valuable educational work, entitled Theory and Practice of Teaching. His name was a worthy one to use for the society, inasmuch as he stood for all that was loft) and good in education. The names of many persons are found on the roll who have won distinction in the various vocations open to men and women. It proves a hard task to choose out of this great number a few representatives, but as space allows us to name only a very few. we will give the names of Dr. I). YY. Bartine, who was one of the Society's first Presidents; Col. M. I). Wickersham. who served with Gen. George H. Thomas in the Civil War campaigns, afterwards Cnited States Attorney of Alabama: Dr. A. M. Kaub. John (1. Moore. Thomas Whitson. Esq., Hon. John A. M. Passmore, W. L. Seal, and Theodore C. Search. Among the later members we find the names of Dr. Robert M. Garvin, a physician of note in Philadelphia: Hon. YV. W. Griest. our representative in Congress: Charles E. Pugh. First N ice-President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and Dr. A. R. Byerly. whose death a year ago is still heavily felt by all. Many distinguished women also grace our list, among the most notable being Lilian Welsh, of Woman’s College. Md. The work done this year in debates, referred questions, orations and recitations has been of a very high order. Especially is this true of the debates where a great many took part, both in regular and general debate, making that part of the meeting both interesting and instructive. Practically all who were put on the program in any of these capacities � 32 T (.) r C U S T ) X i responded very readily, thus not only benefiting themselves hut raising the society to a high standard. The music has been exceptionally good. The orchestra has done very praiseworthy work, and proved a pleasant factor in the program. The other musical features were no less commendable. We trust that in the years to come our successors may ever cherish and uphold the society as we who depart from the roll of its active members cherish and uphold it. and will strive to live as its motto, Rich in Truth,” suggests.

It has advanced so far that now very few cities or towns are without their organizations and very few schools have not felt its influence. The work has been carried on very successfully at Millersville during the past year. Kvery student was personally interviewed concerning his Christian welfare and with a few exceptions, mostly on account of denominational views, they have joined the Association. The Association held two prayer meetings weekly, one Thursday evening at 0:45 and one Sunday morning immediately after breakfast. Weekly Bible classes were held on each hall under the leadership of students. Mission study classes were held frequently on Sunday afternoons in the chajx‘1 under the leadership of Dr. Hull. The regular Sunday evening joint prayer meetings were held during the year in the chapel. The attendance at all of the meetings was exceptionally good and great interest was shown in all the work that was taken up. The Association sent delegates to the student conference at Northed 1 last summer and have made some arrangements for sending a delegation this coming summer. We never shall forget the helpful influence the V. M. C.

The Young WomanV Christian ssociation. like all great institution'. began its career in a very humble way. In the spring of i8 )i nine girls organized themselves into a society for Christian work, and from this has grown the association of today which means so much to a young girl, leaving her home and home influences and choosing her first companion' outside of the home circle. Two weekly prayer meetings are held regularly, on Wednesday evening and Sunday morning. Topics for study at these meetings are chosen by the students and the meetings are led by a member of the association. ()n Sunday evening the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C A. unite in holding prayer meeting in the chapel, led by a student or teacher. In addi lion a good night prayer meeting is held every evening between retiring bells in the association's new rooms in Athenia Hall, which have been furnished this year and opened to all boarding students who wish to spend a quiet hour in rest or reading. The Itible study classes arc organized according to the group system, the work being carried on by the girl' themselves. Each class selects it' own leader and time for meeting, thus making it jxjssible for all the girls to join one of the classes. An interesting feature of this year’s work was a membership contest, which resulted in securing a large number of new members ami in creating a new interest in the work. The one hope and aim of the association is to lay the foundation of a good Christian character in every girl’s life that her influence may be used to spread Christ’s kingdom. ♦ � 140 T O L C H S T O X E Y.

I he Young Women’s Christian Temperance I’nion was organized twenty-seven years ago. on the twenty-sixth of pril. 1885. by a temperance organizer. Miss Xarcissa White. Alnnit eighty young women immediately joined, and these officers were elected: President. Mrs. Dr. Baker: ice-1'resident. Miss Mattie II Cooper; Corresponding Secretary. Miss Elizabeth Barnhart: Recording Secretary, Miss Mary R. Bell: Treasurer. Miss Amanda Landes. Since then the I’nion has grown and prosjK red, and has had an ever-widening influence for good in the school. More than fifteen hundred names have been signed to the constitution and pledge-hook, and more than five hundred meetings—public, social and business meetings—have been held. The officers for the year 1011-12 are: President. Miss Amanda Landes: Vice-President. Miss Dorothy Ghcrst: Secretary. Miss Mary Burkholder; Treasurer. Miss Gilbert : Superintendent of Flower Mission. Miss Lilian Gherst: Superintendent of Music. Miss Rebecca Shoemaker. Young men are admitted as well as young women, and are allowed to vote and act on committees, but not to hold office. The conditions for membership are the signing of a total abstinence pledge and the payment of annual dues. The regular meetings, held bi-weekly, are open to everyone. They consist of devotional exercises, a brief business session, and a program of literary and musical numbers. The meetings are always directed toward the instruction and enlistment of the students in the work of the tem|HMance reform. For this reason everything that helps to forward Christianity and right living is sure of the hearty co-operation of the I’nion. Thus hygiene, morality and economics are all subjects which receive attention in our meetings. Another work to which the I’nion gives special attention is known as the flower mission, the purpose of which is to send flowers to sick people, not only “Y” members, but any members of the school. Anyone about the school who is ill for any length of time is sure to receive M2 T O l'l' II S T () N E T flowers bearing a bow of while ribbon art l a message of cheer from the •Y.” Altogether the Millersville V. Y. C. T. U. is a credit to the organization of which it is a part, and a living illustration of its motto. “For God. and Home, and Native Land.’’ t . i i - 7 I 144 T O V C H S T O X E The Music Department From harmony, from heavenly harmony This universal frame began. The Music Department of the school is well organized and nourishing, and a valuable part of the work of the school. In addition to the many students studying voice under Miss I'eery, and piano under Miss 1 ■’otter, we have an excellent choir, which assists at the devotional exercises, and several times a year gives a program of social music. On the Sunday before Christmas vacation they sang The Everlasting Light, by Gary Jacobs Bond. A feature of the exercises of Commencement Week is a concert by the choir, assisted by several musicians from outside the school. Early in the spring term the pupils in both instrumental and vocal departments gave a recital, which showed the excellence of the training they received, and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone wfio heard it. Besides this, each literary society maintains an orchestra of about a dozen pieces, whose music adds greatly to the society meetings. The Xonnal Society has an additional musical organization—the Normal Glee Club. T O U C I I S T C) N I : 145 We Hail Thee, Alma Mater! Tune—“The Portuguese Hymn. Arr.

We were handicapped by the loss of our coach, Cooper, at the beginning of the season, who had, for a Unit five years, led the team to victory and success. It was a number of weeks before a new coach was procured, but in the meantime the Ijovs were doing a little preliminary work for themselves and getting into condition. The new coach. Cottrell, arrived just about two weeks before we were scheduled to play our first game. Me plunged into the work, at once, of developing an effective team out of the candidates, many of whom were raw recruits, never having seen a game. Jwing to the brevity of the time until the first game was due the work naturally was hard, but the coach was aided by the untiring efforts of the iMjya and by their faithful work. In the first game our team exhibited the old fighting spirit and grit that has so often brought M. S. X. S. into prominence and fame in the foot ball world, and every one felt more confident than ever over the athletic outlook. I he schedule shows that the team played some of the strongest combinations of foot ball brawn in the country, and through the whole season every man worked for the glory of the school and the success of the team; with this spirit and feeling predominant, a team can overcome many natural drawbacks. In all our big games the boys showed the feeling that creates a respect for them in the eyes of their opponents. ( n November 25th the team went to Kmmittsburg to try their mettle against the Ijovs of Mount St. Mary's College. t the beginning of the game the fortunes of war seemed to Ik against them, but by good head work and great sup|� ort victory seemed within easy grasp, when the game was lost by one of those unexplainable flukes that sometimes defeat the best of teams. I he big game of the year was on November 30th, when we went to nnapolis to play the Naval Academy. Some of our best men were I (I V ( II S T O N E 159 suffering from previous injuries, and one or two of the varsity were not there at all. In spite of this the hoys went into the game with their usual vim. and showed the form that has always been the characteristic of our teams. fter - me of the best playing of the season, the game was lost to superior weight and condition. As we take a retrospective view of the achievements and disappointments f the season, we feel proud of the team that so well upheld the honor of the school. � VARSITY BASKET BALL TEAM T OUCH S T O N E 1O1 Varsitv ltaskH ({all Manager.................................J.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT Basket Ball time flew rapidly by. the basket ball season arrived and found us without a coach. The boys got together on the floor, and. under the able direction of the captain, went through some preliminary practice, and began to get acquainted with the game. By the time the new coach arrived the team was ready to absorb his teaching, and the first game was on. Considering the late 'tart acquired in systematic coaching, the team deserves great credit. They plaved against some of the strongest teams in their own class, and never lost that coolness and steadiness which is bound to win. and were always there with a reserve force which more than once turned defeat into victory. The team was composed almost wholly of members of the Class of i )i2. and was the strongest quintette that could he picked from the numerous candidates who aspired to basket ball honors, and these men carried again the banner f M. S. X. S. to victory in many a hard fought game. Though we lost some games, we take pleasure in thinking how we won others, and look hack over the season with a feeling of satisfaction.

Since things all work out after the plan of the beginning, we can draw pretty accurate conclusions. The large squad which showed up for the first day of practice was soon divided into two teams. The varsity nine showed themselves to be last from the beginning, and the practice was good and snappy. The only weakness of the team was the lack of a pitcher, and our minds were eased on this point by the arrival of the successful twirier who confused our opponent- last year. We now have as strong a team a ever went on the diamond to win glory for the I Hack and (Jold. The strength and determination of the team was shown when they defeated the strong team of the I'niversity of Maryland by a score of 5-3. When we look over our schedule we find that we are scheduled to play other teams a- strong, and feel confident that the record will be. as ever, one of which wc can be proud.

The Middlers entered the game with the same feeling, but. oh! the disap] ointment that was in store for them. When the whistle blew the Senior boys sprang forward, and the field was strewn with Middlers. and the ball was advanced into the Middler territory. This performance was repealed again and again, and the under-classmen were forced all over the field. The Middlers entered the game with eight varsity men in their lineup. while we had three. During the game our op| onents won only one first down by straight foot hall, the rest came from “forward passes and penalties. ()ur record was far different, many “first downs being gained by end runs” and line bucks. The score at the end of the game was 0-0. but some of the Middler men themselves acceded us the victory. The score itself would have been different had it not been for one of those accidents that change the results of many games. ne of our men missed a forward pass on the enemy's five yard line, with an open field. That day was one of the first of the many in which we triumphed over the Middlers. They realized that force could be overcome by superior skill and intelligent head work. They swore to redeem themselves in basket ball. We invite you to read the history of that game and see how they succeeded. T O VC HSTONE 186 Class Basket Ball Team The two rival teams were again lined up against each other, and the Middlers were ready t« try their mettle against the Seniors. A-ever, they knew they would win, and the Ixns of '12 decided to show them their mistake in record time. The hall is tossed by the referee: there is a tussle, a shout, and lo! the ball drops through the Senior basket. The Middlers l x k on helplessly from the middle of the door, but are unable to stop the steady trips which the ball makes into the basket. To make a long story short, the Middlers were badly beaten by many points. Perhaps they were embarrassed by the proximity of dignity, and perhaps they did not try. But. ah! that is only perhaps, for by the time the first half was over the time keepers were kept busy counting time out.” because the Middles were trying to get their bearings. and were putting in new men. That day the Middler basket was sorely neglected, for the number of times the ball went through was very small. )h! that was a game to see. Things happened so fast that it took the Middlers the rest of the day to catch up with events. Our team was glad to play them because it formed pretty good pastime, was an exhibition of Senior skill, and gave the Middlers an opportunity to get some valuable [joints on the game. The game is over and ic)i2 is victorious. Score. 34-11. T O UCHSTO X E 187 II Hook of Chronicles Chapter I. Beginning of the Second Sacred I Tars. WAR BETWEEN LAMBS N1 JUNIORITES. 1.

The last game on the schedule was a great one; great, not only as an exhibition of skill, but as a drawing card. This game is so interesting because there we can see the faculty minus their dignity and working like the rest of us. This surely is a sight to behold. The faculty wanted the game to be late in the season, so the Y. M. C. A. would he out of practice and they could win without trouble. The game started amid the cheering of the audience and the Y. M. C. A., preparing for battle, went for the faculty. Many opportunities for old Hunks showed themselves and were promptly taken advantage of. The game had not been in progress very long before the faculty called for time out. They were spread all over the gym.” seeking the breath they had lost and the points which they did not have. The game ended with the Y. M. C. A. fresh and the faculty all in. For once the students were on top. but they did not rub it in. for they pitied the dejected look worn by the faculty and. shaking hands, all parted in peace. Lineup Kegerreis, f Hoffer, g. WlTMER. g.

Spread a great noise and confusion, the sign of excitement impending. What is the meaning of this? asked a stranger within these fair portals: Ixmd from their neighboring rooms resjxmded the voice of the students, Echoing down through the halls, in accents glad and exultant: This jx the Senior Sociable, the great event of the season. All through the long. long day those noble, industrious Seniors Labored and toiled in the chapel, to beautify it with laurel. Arches, and arbors, and colors, the loved Gray and Gold of the Seniors. Swung by the strong arm of Harry, loud pealed out the bell from the tower— ( ft had it called in vain to chapel, or classes, or dinner— This night it called not in vain, for the halls were soon thronging with students ending their way to the chapel, to spend a brief evening of pleasure. Met at the door were the crowd by Senior lx ys, smiling and pleasant. Met at the door by the Seniors, and there were presented with programs Showing again in their covers the loved Gray and Gold of the Seniors. Pages there were in the programs, marked Autographs. where might be written Names of our friends and classmates, to treasure up. for like Aeneas. Some time our hearts may rejoice at the memory of these things. Moments were given for talk, and for moving about, and adjustment (For we all know' how congenial companions can add to enjoyment. Also that this is one time we can snap without any convenience ). Then did the program begin, and believe me. some program it was. too! First was “The Country School, and the school teacher’s famous invention. Which, as she claimed, and with truth, would make anyone young in a minute. 230 T O U C H S T O X E This did she plainly demonstrate, by using its wonderful power Upon an aged director, who, changed by its potency magic. Crew in a moment all handsome, and young as the youngest among us. Then came a group of our girls, with Italian dance entertaining. Italian Tarantella, by their costumes and grace made enchanting. Amid admiring applause, the dancers came back, and repeated What they had charmed with before, and still held admiring attention. Xo v that the dancing is done, the close of the evening approaches. Loud speaks the bell from the tower, announcing the coming of bedtime. Lingering, reluctantly parting, the student leave slowly the chapel. Talking, explaining, discussing, and—we hope—praising and thanking Dear 1012, and the treasured, the loved Cray and Cold of the Seniors.

And here were many dissensions. From which many feuds were made That grew larger in dimensions. f Achilles played in one place. And Hector played in the same: They turned it into a foot race Instead of a fort ball game. It is a very sad story; This is how the thing was run: They both were trying for glory With the season just begun. Once Hector at Achilles flew. And he moved with all his might: Far back his great right arm he drew. And on Achilles tried to light. Achilles never moved an inch. Hut he bravely stood bis ground. Hector's pride began to flinch. And in bis heart some fear he found. 232 T O U C H S T O X E He turned about iu fearful flight, And Achilles followed him fast. Hector feared to stop and fight, He thought this thing could hardly last. Once around the field they fly. As if trying for a cup. The gods look down from out the sky. And Achilles then gave it up.

T ( V C H S T () X E - U The Trip to Washington The party left the school in special cars at i P. L, Thursday, November 9, for Lancaster, where a special train wa waiting. When they reached Washington at 5:30 P. M.. rain was falling. After doing full justice to dinner, they went to the new Congressional Library for the evening. This library, the most elaborately adorned building in the world, truly deserves it nx ( of gold. When the students had time to think about their lodging place. the found that they were in one of Washington’s historical spots. The hotel was originally begun by Thomas Law in 1796, just a block south of the present Capitol. If the walls of this building could speak to-day. they could tell many interesting stories of such distinguished visitors a Jef terson. Adams, Webster. Senators. Ambassadors and foreign dignitaries, while the parlor has been the scene of many historic receptions. The building is now a fine white edifice under the name of the New Varnmn Hotel, situated on New Jersey avenue, one block south of the Capitol, and just across the street from the new House Oftice Pudding. ()n I'riday morning the excursionists met in the rotunda of the Capitol. ami were conducted through the building under competent guides. Prom the Capitol they went to the Treasury I holding. and then to the White House, the l: me of every President since Adams. After luncheon the whole party hoarded a special electric train for Mount Vernon. Here a group picture of the party was taken, and then they were divided into two sections, one of which visited the mansion, while the other visited the tomb of Washington. ’n Saturday they visited first the Corcoran Art Gallery. After viewing the many masterpieces of art and sculpture, they took a short visit to the Pan- merican Ihtreau. and then proceeded directly to the Washington Monument. From the top of this monument, which is 555 feet high, and can he reached by elevator or bv 9 steps, one obtains a panoramic view of Washington and the country for miles around. Proceeding from the monument, they visited the Ihtreau of Engraving and Printing where they watched 700 men and women in one room engaged T () U G II STOKE 234 in printing greenbacks, making money in the true sense of the word. .Next they visited the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum and Fish Commission in rapid order. After luncheon the party boarded automobiles for a tour of the city, (in this trip they saw the homes of famous Senators living and dead: foreign legations, homes of famous statesmen and a great number of iittle parks, each containing the statue of a famous man. They saw Ford's Theatre, in which Lincoln was assassinated, and the house, directly across the street, into which he was carried in a dying condition. This is now Lincoln Museum. 1 T ( U C H STO X E -’35 Seniors As you're walking through the hallway. ()r a strolling down the street. And a fellow with a furrowed brow And hurried steps you meet.

He blushed, and then “Not now. he said, and turned again. He said to her. It is a crime: I'll have to post him the next time.

And he knew her by her voice; He asked her where the other was. And found he could not have his choice. Davie soon got wise to this, And though 'twas a sad event. He quickly found a good way out, And not a moment did lament. Then to the maiden at the phone. Since your sister is away I must he satisfied with you. So now. please, don't say me nay.

THE DENSE SHADE INVITES THE STUDENT. 240 TOU C H S T O X E Class Prophecy It was a magnificent June day: before me the foliage of the giant sequoias swayed gently to and fro in the tender breeze, and in the distance loomed a vast expanse of wheat and barley. The stillness of this delightful morning was suddenly interrupted by the chug, chug” of the motor driving a car that whizzed up and came to a stop before the country inn. As the occupants alighted from the car I was overjoyed to recognize the stalwart form of Russell Shelly. He was soon by my side, and we were recalling the scenes Of the days spent together at M. S. X. S.. more than a decade ago. and relating events of the intervening years. During this time Russell had achieved fame and distinction as a poet, all of which was probably due to an inspiration that be received in old Room C,” which led him to write the poem that marked the beginning of his poetical career. During the course of our conversation Russell told me that he had recently visited Helen Park. who. after teaching a few years, had realized her life’s ambition, ami was then the charming sj ouse of a thrifty California fruit grower. He also said that he had passed through Chicago recently where he had listened to a brilliant temperance lecture delivered bv Perth a ()berho!zer. who. in a few short years, had gained a world-wide reputation as a champion of the cause of sobriety and a benefactress of her race. Another of our number of whom he had heard was Florence Peeples, who. instilled with a feeling of sympathy for that dusky race, had sailed away t the Philippines, there to perform her mission as a teacher. This bit of information concerning some of my old classmates awakened in me a desire to learn the fates of more of them, which 1 had the pleasure of doing during a subsequent journey to the scenes of my childhood. On my way across the continent I stopped oft at Yellowstone Xa-tional Park, where I was surprised but greatly pleased to greet Madelyti. sometimes Called Mandolin. Seabright. who was engaged in the natural T O U C H S T O X I : 241 science department at Pittsburgh University, and had come here to study the wonders of this natural curiosity. I proceeded to New York, where I stepped into a barber shop on Fifth Avenue to have a shave. Here, to my utmost surprise, I beheld Harvey Rodgers wielding a razor. I soon learned that, after leaving school, he had become a Professor of Science in Columbia University, where he had discovered a chemical compound that would grow hair on a bald head, and. desiring to be of greatest service to humanity, he had taken this position that he might alleviate the suffering, especially during the fly season, of those who were afflicted like himself. Harvey was going over to Atlantic City for a vacation, and. at his request. I agreed to go with him. As we walked down the street L noticed a banner being borne through the street announcing a suffragettes' meeting, at which Minnie Rittgcrs was to be the chief speaker. Unfortunately we could not attend. I also learned before leaving New York that Marion Ritchey was a famous contralto singer in one of the greatest choirs in the metropolis and was contemplating a theatrical engagement. We arrived at the beach and were strolling down the boardwalk when, suddenly, we came face to face with Helen Robinson, who had tried teaching for a few years, but soon her heart was pierced by Cupid's dart and she was carried away to Baltimore, and now a member of 1 very happy household she was sojourning on the shore. Helen told us that Anna Poist and Reba Rea. who had untiringly devoted all these years to the service of young America, were spending their vacation at this |H)])ular resort. After a short stroll along the beach we turned up Pennsylvania Avenue, where our attention was attracted to a milliner's sign bearing the name of Helen Reisler. We entered and found her engaged in a prosperous business, which was soon to be sacrificed rather willingly to Hymen. Helen told us that she had heard from Mary Powers, who was engaged in the pursuit of teaching the young idea how to shoot in a little neck of the woods in New Jersey. Leaving the shore, we motored across the State to Woodbury, where we found Verna Peck employed in a home for incorrigible , a position which she held by virtue of her splendid ability and her strong right arm. 242 T o UCHS T O N E At Xenia’s request, we accompanied her over to May town, where we found William Hollcnbaugh installed in a grocery store, on a corner. in that cosy hamlet. He had tried the art of “wielding the birch for a few years, but, finding this life too strenuous, he had taken up this less exhausting occupation. X’erna told us that she frequently visited Helen Rice, who, after serving a year as a school mistress, had been lured into captivity by the wiles and craft of a sturdy son of Chester county, where, as the mistress of a cheerful household, she was enjoying the peace and quietude of her cosy country abode. We returned to New York, where we met Mertie Seiwell, who was about to sail for Europe to complete her study of foreign languages preliminary to taking charge of the language department of her Alma Mater. After these pleasant experiences and associations with my former classmates, it was with no little reluctance that I boarded a train that was to carry me back to the care of my mining industries in the Sierra Xevadas. One day about the middle of June, while wandering over the campus, I passed by the lake and, entranced by its beauty, sat down, and, gazing into its clear waters. I was thinking of the future of the Class of 1912. My reverie was broken by the far-away tinkling of a mandolin, and. looking into the depth of the water, whence the sound seemed to come, I saw Dorothy (iherst. an Older and wiser Dorothy l� v twenty years. She had been playing and dreaming of the Prince who was •'till on his way. The tinkling of the mandolin seemed to change to the clatter of dishes, and I saw before me a large restaurant, full of hustling people. Hurrying about among them was the proprietor. He seemed strangely familiar and at a second glance I recognized our classmate, Ray Brubaker. Ray was at the height of his glory, for now he had his heart’s desire at his finger tips. But while gazing at the restaurant I saw a lady and a gentleman TOUGHS T O N E 243 hurrying to take a train, which was just coming in. and I was assured now that Ethel Hall would never miss the train, for she had the “Brake-man” with her. The scene seemed t change to a school room and there I saw Grace Holland, reigning supreme, with the sceptre of good discipline over her almost model school. There was a sudden gushing of the waters and I beheld before me a beautiful art gallery. On closer inspection I found that the greatest contributor was Anna Ryder, and 1 was not a bit surprised at this, for I knew that Anna had displayed great skill in this art while at the Normal. But her contributions had not been in vain, for now she was the wife of the manager, who was also an artist. As I was leaving the art gallery I gazed across the street and saw a lady sitting in an automobile in front of a house. I thought I had seen her before, and I crossed the street and found it to be Loyola Kelly ---------. waiting for her Doctor. When the doctor came the automobile seemed to glide away into the blue of the waters, which immediately took the form • { a Southern home. ( 11 the veranda was my classmate. Mae Gruber, but she had changed her name and was living happily with her “Virginian.” I was attracted now by the strains of music by childish voices, and I gazed intently, to find the famous kindergarten teacher. Addie Harlacker, teaching her pupils always the same song: “The Star 'Spangler' Banner.” As 1 was thinking of Addie and her future, my train of thought changed and I heard a voice singing Farewell. My Own True Love. 1 found the singer t«� be none other than George Cooper. The song seemed so familiar because I am sure all of his classmates remembered the pathetic way he sang it to one of our number at Commencement. After graduation. George had taken a course at Berlin and was at present thrilling nations with his wonderful tenor voice. A crowd of students passing by startled me back to the material world again, but after they had gone I fell to dreaming again and a picture of a hospital appeared plainly before me. Moving around in her graceful and quiet manner was Ruth HefTelman. After graduating from the Normal she had taken up the duties of a trained nurse and now she was head nurse of one of the large hospitals in Philadelphia. 1 was not 244 T O lT C II S T (.) N I : so much surprised to find Ruth here because the chief physician was an auburn-haired man. who had graduated one year previous to Ruth', graduation from the Normal. Rut this picture vanished as quickly as it had conic, and 1 was surprised to see Minerva Gruber, who s|x.� ke to me. and she talked with a very queer accent; but this was soon accounted for when she told me that she had married a “German Professor. I was just going to talk to Minerva, of ur old school days, when the picture faded from view and I saw a church in the far distance, (t seemed t«� come nearer and I could see the minister enter, but he came out in a few minutes and I recognized Luther Craumcr. Luther and the church passed into the shadow of the trees. A hall room floated into view and in the center of the room was Ruth I lolland with her usual list of admirers around her. Ruth was 'till as popular as ever. The hall room seemed to light the way to a cosy cottage. I heard strains of music and then the interior of the home was shown, where Dora Kauffman was playing the piano. She had won great fame as a pianist, but she had not only won fame but had won the Ranker” also. Just at this instant I heard the ringing of a bell and upon looking up I saw Marjorie Holloway standing in the doorway of a school house. The children were hurrying in a manner which showed their loyalty to their teacher. Rut the wind seemed to blow the picture away and carry the view to Allentown. There was Nellie Hughes going down the street, evidently going home from her school duties. Rut 1 did not know whether Nellie was teaching the Welsh” nr not. In an instant I saw Ruth Rair. She had just been to visit a sick friend and I knew that Ruth was still fulfilling her mission of kindness I was startled by someone tapping me on the shoulder and. looking around, I found one of the girls, who told me that it was time to go to class. I was indeed awake by this time. Tor C H S T O X E 245 A few days after Commencement, seated before an open lire. I was looking over my Touchstone. hie by one. slowly, I gazed upon the face of each of my classmates and wondered. The fire burned brighter, the flames seemed to say look. and the whole atmosphere was permeated with a prophetic feeling. Attracted by the low. distant strains of a wedding march. I gazed into the heart of the fire. There, in glowing radiance, no longer young, but extremely happy, was Effic Myers, majestically wending her way to the altar. 1 thought of Effie’s Touchstone honor, and smiled—she had reached her goal at last. The picture faded. A sudden gust of wind sent a tiny flame, quivering, shaking up-side down, turning topsy-turvy and every other way. across the grate. The motion of the flame seemed familiar. Sure enough, if it wasn’t Elizabeth Muehe! After twenty years. Lib was the same old Lib—looking not a bit older. Her John, come here. was as peremptory as of old. but her kindly expression showed her to be the woman for the place. She and her husband were now at the head of the Eranklin and Marshall Academy—an abode long ago familiar to Lib. Hie little flame danced off as it had come. Following it. my eyes met another picture. On the northwestern part of the grate, seated beneath a grape-arl or. sat a sweet-faced woman. Her attitude was one of expectancy and '•lie did not wait in vain. Esther Xelson’s hero had come long ago—not. however, from the direction of Millersville.—and her home and home life were of a nature to he greatly admired—even envied. The reverie was rudely broken by a coal rattling down through the grate. Something about that coal looked strange, and on a second glance I discovered a stout matronly lady on the floor beside a piano, evidently having rolled off the stool. It took the third glance to identify Elsie Xixon. Worn out by the strain of a brilliant musical success the night before, she had fallen asleep. The ardent look of the little Herr Professor as he rushed in and picked her up told Elsie’s happy talc. I11 an instant the scene changed and a crowded court room came into view. Applause filled the air. The great case was won. and by whom? X other than our old classmate. Hervey Shorts, now a prominent lawyer. Hervey always was a lawyer, considering the number of cases he had at old M. S. X. S.. and he usually won them. too. T () V C H S T O X E 246 The pale blue of the fire seemed now to be a vast expanse of water. A vessel came into view, and on closer inspection I saw on deck, bound for the West Indies—her home.—Edith Boyd. Land was almost reached; friends waited to greet friends. Among the eager crowd on the pier I caught sight of a dark man with a little black moustache. “I'alamatto mia, he whispered. Black eyes had already met black eyes and distance meant nothing. The blue of the water faded into the soft yellow glow of a lighted ball room. At the door, receiving guests, was a familiar figure. Sara Garvin, slightly gray and with a few wrinkles, but as stately, dignified and majestic as ever, was admirably filling the position of the wife of a I’nited States Senator. High society life suited her well, and in like proportion she suited her husband and he suited her. The ball room died into flame, the flame formed another picture. On the rostrum of a college chapel, addressing an immense liody of students, was their president. David Pugh. Xo. Della was not there—she was home preparing dinner. Some white-hot coals glowed an instant — I saw a row of cots in a hospital ward, and moving noiselessly among them was a white-capped nurse, having a face which closely resembled one I had recently looked upon in the ‘‘Touchstone”—Edna Leib. As I watched her quiet movement- a door opened, and in trotted, briskly and with a characteristic snap of manner, a little doctor. His face seemed strangely familiar, but I had to glance at the name on his medicine case before knowing it was Johnny Halter. A successful doctor and a successful nurse—two sparkling gems in the noble crown of the Class of 1912. Once again my eyes sought the depth of the fire, this magic mirror of the future. Standing in a kitchen, stirring together some mysterious delicacy, was a hale, happy, hearty housekeeper. Xot being able to place her I looked about for evidence. There it was!—a cook lx ok lying on the table bore the name 'Sara Krcider.” Sara knows the shortest way to a man’s heart. A swaying movement turned my attention to another part of the fire. Here I saw. swinging to and fro in a hammock, taking life easy--Emma I lostctter. The latest novel, for Emma had become a famous novelist, was lying at her feet—a novel read in thousands of Tiomes. The setting was Maytown. and the plot, the dream of her youth—a realized dream. T () Lr C H S T () E 247 As Emma swayed from view the tire became lower and in some places almost black. I seemed to sec a mining town. The wife of one of the most prominent citizens was speaking before a large assembly. The voice I knew—it was Helen Hublcy's. She was starting an educational movement, much like that of Pestalozzi. More work for her descendants who happen to study History of Ed. at the Normal. Helen’s voice died away into a far-off whisper and a gentle breath of air transformed the sheet of flame into a rippling Venetian bay. Seated in a gondola was a slight, blue-eyed woman—our Margaret McBlane. Beside her was her husband, a famous doctor, who. with his well-trained voice, was singing to her of everlasting happiness. The fire was almost out—it grew cooler. I saw a sledge pass over a snowy country. In it was seated Margaret l-e Fevre—and the driver. They stopped before a neat little home and entered. Margaret had grown accustomed to northern life and loved it. The grate had now grown entirely black, but no! In one corner was a slowly dying ember and eagerly I searched it for more truths. Yes, there was Helen Kuntz, standing before a school house. A signpost near told me the place was Mount Joy, and the attitude of the pupils grouped about I lelen told me of her great popularity. The fire died entirely. I re-lighted it. hoping to read more futures, but no more visions came. The spell was over. It is late in the summer of 1920. I make a trip to Boston, where a great exposition is being held in the year of the anniversary of the coming of the Pilgrims. As I walk within the grounds. I take notice of the curiosities. The first to strike my attention is an ingeniously drawn picture of “A Pennsylvanian Lake.” I draw closer and recognize in it the lake at Millersville. now made famous in art. I read the label below. To my delight I find that an old classmate of mine. Cora French, who is now working on art at Paris, has drawn it. I gaze at it intently and am wrapped in reveries of old school days, when a policeman comes along and exclaims. “Walk along! Don't block the pavement. I turn around T Ol'CHST O N E 248 and stand face to face to Paul Gilkeson. chief of ] olice on the grounds. He tells me Cupid’s darts have been effective at last and he now lives with hi bride in a quiet country home in Massachusetts. I go farther on and meet (irace Carrigan, who has come from the “Old Normal. She has just married a Normal professor and with her husband is enjoying her wedding trip. She tells me Myrtle Cline, who has taken a course in Methods of Instruction, is now critic teacher at East Stroudsburg State Normal. She ha specialized in “Methods of History. She also says that Lena Dcnisar has now taken up temperance work and is president of Pennsylvania W. C. T. U. Edna Anne, who has just returned from Europe, where she has studied Dead and Modern Languages, is going to Wilson College, where she has received the chair of Languages. Turning my thoughts to the advancement of the nation in different lines, I notice on record of twentieth century movement Viola Derrickson. a strong supporter and ardent advocate of women suffrage. She is now aspiring to the high office of Governorship of Delaware. Her campaign manager is no less than Reba ialloway. who is now canvassing the State in the interests of her close friend. Her stump speeches are attracting large crowds and from all appearance Delaware is becoming a woman majority State. In the same record I find the name of Chattie Geib. who has at last edited and published a book on Ten Thousand Suggestions of How to Live Without Work. On the same line of work Helen Derr has startled the world bv a volume, entitled “Reminiscences of My School Days. As I was passing along I noticed at the Greek quarters a tribute to a second Florence Nightingale. Reading it. I found the person indicated was May Kitzkce, who was doing noble work among the Greeks in a long-enduring war with Turkey. As I was musing over the nobility of her work, someone tapped me on my shoulder, and then we had a hand-shake. “Well! said Stanley Richmond. I have just invented a machine by which a person can take his own pictures. I have taken mine and sent it to the I [all of Fame. My line is invention and I am especially interested in aviation, for. said he. “the world can’t hold me any more. He tells me Pauline Gelhard is now a famous actress: that she plays a principal part in the Shakes-perian plays. 1 T O L C II STO N E 249 The same day 1 meet Edna (icating, who has just returned from Europe, where she has been on her vacation from Harrisburg High School. She has charge of the Department of Domestic Science there. At London she met Mabel Ferguson, who has become a poetess and is trying to catch inspiration in England's atmosphere. ()n my way home 1 stop at New York. It is Sunday, so I look in a paper to find some church to which 1 may go. when, behold. I come to the name of ( ourtland Manifold. I go to hear the sermon. The church in which he preaches is in a prospering community. He suggests that we drive down to the Lowery. Here we meet Ella Connely. who is doing work of charity and is a messenger of light among the distressed. I go home with Mr. Manifold and. wearied from my journey. I am soon wrapped in pleasant dreams of days gone by. If the prophets of old were called upon to foretell the future of a class of such wonderful possibilities as our own Of 1912 they would look wise and say nothing. In their time they spoke as they were moved. But since then things have changed. The rate of motion since the introduction of steam and electricity has increased manifold. So now-a-days we can arrive at our destination or conclusion in a very short time. In prophesying we must always study a man’s past, first. This is the manner in which 1 proceeded in my endeavors to prophesy accurately the future of my classmates. I� ut first. for the benefit of all other prophets and scientific persons, let me recount my marvelous method for unveiling that which is to come to pass. I obtained by hypodermic puncture one drop of blood from under the seventh rib on the left side of the subject. This was boiled with a concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid. The mixture was then examined carefully through a microscope with a leather eye-piece in an absolutely dark room. The scenes which presented themselves to my eye were the fates of my classmates, some of which 1 shall now proceed to tell you. Immediately after graduating, (ieorgiana Booth started for the West, with all intentions of benefiting humanity by teaching the younger generation. But. ala ! these plans were never realized, for not education. but another Ed. seized our Georgia’s heart and mind. •25 T ) V C H S T O X E Marguerite McManus i- managing a beauty parlor in the most fashionable part of that booming town, Columbia. Employed in one of Philadelphia's largest music stores is our friend. Edna Miller. She gained this position through the influence of one of our village boys, who is traveling for that firm. Through this same influence Edna is being persuaded to resign her position and resume one of greater responsibility. A few years after graduation Luella Immcl. while attending Vassar College, was seriously wounded by one of Cupid's arrows. She is now living in a beautiful home of her own in the sunny South. Mabel Hackman has become a famous ventriloquist and i entertaining vast audiences as she used to entertain the girls of Room 3 in her Normal days. Harold Barr taught school for two years in his own city before going to State College. There be graduated with honors, even if he did not get through the course in single blessedness. After leaving the Normal, Rose Moss became deeply interested in the study of Wood, which received her sincercst devotion. We can well be proud of Orella Cramer, for she is doing credit to her position as head nurse in Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. When a young man proposed to Mary Weaver, she was shocked an ] declined with thanks. We therefore find her. an unclaimed blessing, teaching in the Lancaster High School. Katherine Mycr is matron in Cottage A of Stevens Trade School, of Lancaster. We always thought Kit was rather fond of the boys of that cottage. After teaching school for several years Grace Feagley traveled extensively in her own country and in Europe, but never without the everpresent. little brown “bige. Ella (lontner is happily situated on a very fine farm near Strasburg. She can frequently be seen in that vicinity riding about in her husband's automobile, which happens to be of the Reese make. Ruth Kepner is keeping a confectionery store in her home town. She makes the fudge for this store herself, so we can testify that it i of the best. Wilson College is very proud of one of its youthful members of the faculty, who is no other than Lillian Hummer. She is holding the chair of Foreign Languages in that place. T () I C H S T O N E 25l Charles Harter has become famous in the scientific world, having worked out all kinds of electrical inventions. However Doc has not given up all his time to this, for there was a certain school teacher from his home town to be wooed and won. From (irimm's Fairy Tales we might add. They were married and lived happily ever after. Minolta Brubaker had been assistant principal in Denver High School for some time, but when her ideal came along she bowed to the inevitable and resigned her position. Anna Bcrtolet started out to ho a suffragette, but changed her mind, as girls are wont to do. and is now a noted artist of New York City. On my return from the Orient to the woods and templed hills of my dear native land, my first impulse was to locate my classmates who had toiled shoulder to shoulder with me in the pursuit of knowledge at dear old Millersville. Feeling that talent such as they possessed could not have wasted its sweetness on the desert air. I obtained a copy of Who’s Who and was pleased to note the following: Ethel Greenleaf has attained wonderful success as an advocate and worker in the interest of the kindergarten movement: in this work she has been ably assisted by (iracetta Senders, who has applied in a fitting way the ideas gained from her study of Froebel in old C ” Elsie Shank has won fame as an artist and from time to time edit� a little Magazine of Art that is eagerly read by the artists of the M. S. Mary Staley has become county su| crintcndcnt in one of our western States: in the same state Virginia Slade wields the sceptre over the students in a flourishing high school. Her fame, however, rests upon the publication of her book, entitled How to Attain Success With Little Work.” Esther Smith has become president of the National Educational Association and her Alma Mater feels proud of the noble little lady who graced its classic halls. Frances Staudenmeier has Income an authoress and her works are 2$2 T O U C H S T () X E widely read by those who appreciate the beautiful iu life. 1 ler first work, however, was almost a failure. It was entitled. How to Cse of All the Knowledge You Possess. nna Stotz i a leader of the Woman Suffrage movement and over by Columbia they talk proudly of their gifted lady citizen who has done much to purify politics. Doris Stauffer and Myra Stover have married and are known to fame through the reflected glory of their gifted husbands. Elizabeth Tapper is the editor of The merican Lady.'’ a magazine devoted to the enlargement of woman’s sphere in the world’s work. Miss Marguerite Tshudy and Edith Walter arc contributing editors. Anna Thompson, president of the famous College of Domestic Sciences, Marietta. Pa., tits many young women for the management of a home. Earl Carter and De Witt Porter are at the head of a fine military school in irginia. There they apply the drills and gymnastic stunts taught by our Happy. One thing, running around the lake, is tabooed. John M. Zimmerman is the political ruler of Pennsylvania and. although exercising one-man power, he uses it for the good of the common people, who are talking of him as a good Presidential possibility. While traveling in Europe, with my family, during my summer vacation in 1025. I visited the City of Seventy Isles.” Here we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. C. II. Powers, wife and daughter. Prances. Dr. Powers was enjoying the best of health, but the strenuous duties of his profession had effaced from his pate the last vestige « f hair. Dr. Powers handed me a copy of the Millcrsvillian. which contained many items of interest to members of the Class of i )U. The following is a summary of the items of particular interest to readers of the Touchstone:’’ John Dodd has been named as one of the Assistant Superintendents of Dauphin County. Hon. Harry I) Spitler. the Republican nominee for State Treasurer. was elected by a plurality «f 500.000 over the Democratic nominee. T C t MS T O X E 253 Miss Mary Ward was elected to fill the vacancy, caused by the resignation of Miss Clara Holm, as Instructor in Elocution at the Normal. Miss Elsie Whittaker is now Preceptress of the Normal. Miss Whittaker has been employed at the Normal for upwards of sixteen years. Her long connection with the school and her strict observance of duty amply qualifies her to fill this position. Miss Edna Killian was elected Principal of the Fulton High School. Miss Ethel Steinkomph has succeeded Miss Mausman as assistant in the Model School. Miss Katie Wenger has gone to China to do Missionary work. Miss tiertrude ireenawalt was elected instructor in Mathematics in llryn Mawr College. Miss Myrtle W entz, of Omaha. Nebraska, is the author of an interesting volume of ballads and short stories, suited for primary grades. Miss Susie Williams, of Kansas City, Missouri, has accepted a position as teacher in the lirls’ High School of that city. Continuing our journey to Paris, here we met Miss Olmsted, who has a large millinery establishment in Philadelphia. She told us that Miss Kramer had married a Herman Prince and was now living in Merlin. She told us that Miss Swope had gone on the stage and was fast winning fame as an actress. In our homeward journey, while in Philadelphia. we met Miss Steele, who i- now a Field Secretary for the W. C. T. U. The tall, graceful building opposite the Normal looked inviting indeed, and especially so on this evening. June 26, 1930, when it was standing in readiness for the Class of 1912. A grand reunion, the first since graduation, had been carefully planned, and all prospects pointed toward a pleasant evening. This magnificent structure, recently added to the school property, equipped with a large lecture or entertainment hall, a banquet hall, and other equally useful apartments, was just the place for such an occasion. This was only one of the many changes that had taken place since our departure. Indeed, Millersville could no longer be called a village, for it had spread out over a large area, with the Normal the center of interest. 54 T C) ICHSTU X E After those of us who had come a Ions' distance had made arrangement for lodging at the Central Hotel, we wended our way to the place where we would once more see the faces of our classmates. Before the rendition of a shun program in Assembly Hall, there were many handshakes and much laughter. At 9:30 I’. M. we. a jolly crowd, entered the spacious dining room, artistically decorated with palms and hits 01 orange and gray. It was such a glorious time and the strange things we learned about each other added much to our pleasure. Indeed, it hardly seemed possible that out of our class should come men and women of such prominence and influence in all spheres of activity. To begin with. Prof. Charles W'erntz. superintendent of the schools of I ancastcr. was toastmaster. Knowing hi shyness in the presence of ladies at school, we were anxious to know his success in matrimonial matters. Those of us who sat near him at the table and had an introduction t« the lady by his side came to the conclusion that he must have overcome his shyness. ()ne of our classmates had changed quite a good bit. Where Estella Bradley obtained all her dignity we could not understand until she told us that she was preceptress of a girls’ boarding school. Then the mystery was solved. The little light-haired girl who used to long for the “sunny South had evidently had that desire fulfilled, for through her talk she intimated that she was mistress of a large mansion, and had much time to devote to studying selections from “Hoffmann. Ruth Hull told us that she. together with a girl friend, had opened a girls finishing school near our own Normal. The former residence of l)r P.ycrly had been remodeled into an attractive, up-to-date dormitory. and this, together with other well-equipped buildings and grounds, formed an ideal place for carrying into effect the desires of its founders. But we fear that the school will lose Ruth soon, for even though she didn't tell us we had authority on the fact that the little cottage being built along the Con would Ik occupied by her. Leona Bare gave us a vivid picture of life in Central America, telling us that she had the honor as well as the pleasure of accompanying one of the Panama Canal enthusiasts on the first trip through this waterway. Strange to say. all these years had passed and she was just on her way home, and then only for a short visit. T O I' C H S T O X E 255 Among our musicians present were Florence Bair. Helen Minnich and Ella Ditch. Florence, after some years of study abroad, had opened a studio in Harrisburg, where she had a large number of students. But, alas, for Helen's music career! The one we had expected to see as a great musician had given up great effort along that line. 1 ler heart (we learned from others) had been buried in a keg of rice and this was not conducive to spending a great amount of time on other studies. As for Ella Buell, she gave up going to a music school in order to lighten the burdens of an enterprising merchant of Lancaster. We were delighted to have with us one who had been spending much time far from us. Edna Basehoar just happened to be home on a furlough from her work in Central Africa. You will all want to know what became of “Cliff. the man who used to shoot goals. Well. Mr. Arthur would have surprised you all. for he looked as though he might tip the scales at 275. Perhaps his work accounts for it—he had become physical director at the Kutztown Normal School. A letter was read, stating that Miss Sara Boyer sent greetings, but could not be present on account of press of duties. She had. for several years, been playground supervisor of the Lebanon schools and was making a great success. It happened that Elsie Aunient and Mabel Bowman had almost the same story to tell, for they were both engaged in the same kind of work. They were employed by the State, which was making an effort to better the condition of factory girls in the city. Their work consisted chiefly in supervising summer camps for girls. Both seemed very enthusiastic about their work. Laura Bum. the neatly dressed woman, whom very few of us knew at first, had become a trained nurse, and at the time of the banquet was located at Cartersville. at which place she was taking care of an old schoolmate of hers. Mary Burkholder was unable to be present, but sent her message with another. We were sorry that she could not come, but were glad to hear that she was thoroughly enjoying her work'as teacher of history in the Harrisburg High School. When the banquet was almost over, who came in but Mr. Emery. He apologized for being late, saying that business delayed him. We 256 T OUCHS T O X E were not surprised at his lateness when we heard that he was business manager of the “Fulton House Daily. a paper having an enormous circulation. hi his way he had glanced at the North American and had read the following item: Miss Emma Atlec. Senator � -----------’s private secretary, has returned from an extended tour over Europe, and will resume her work in the near future. Indeed, there is so much to tell that, in order not to tire you, the remainder will he given at some other time. TOl'CHSTO X F. 257 That Third Hall Hunch Third Hall has always had a name. Of being the place to have a game. This year has proven no exception. The girls rooming there are cjuite a collection. They range in size from large to small. Their eyes say. We live on Third Hall. We have athletes, also some grinds, Fun is chief factor in all their minds. That Eftie talks most no one will deny. There's never a time you can't hear her cry. As to the quietest, let me see, You might take a peep in three fifty-three. There’s Ede who’s fond of Shelly's works. And Ann who ne’er her duty shirks, They are two favorites on the hall. And Ede’s a star in basket ball. Across the hall from these two lasses, Are Helen and Bert seen on flashes, Xow Bert that “alarm is bothering us all. It's noisy enough without that on Third Hall. And now we too have vaudeville shows. Room three fifty-two most everyone knows. And when we hear Ethel's melodious voice. We know that Two has made a right choice. 258 T O I C H S T O X E The taffy made by Helens I). K.. Sometimes quite good, then again nay. nay. But whether it’s peanut, fudge or molasses, You're sure to hear some awful crashes. There's Helen Lucinda, who spends her time Snapping and going to Randall's to dine. She seems so quiet, it’s all a mistake. Leave it to Helen if there’s noise to make. Esther and Addie, by no means the least. When it comes to having the suppers and feasts. You hear Addie's voice from morn till night. Singing Jud. Jud. Jud with all her might. And now we come to the end of the list. 1 hope there are none that have been missed. Concerning the Middlers with their moan and groan, Consult the record in next year's Touchstone. Then give three cheers for the Third 1 fall bunch. Lor all their noise, candy and lunch. And we all hope that next year’s crowd Won't make Third Hall appear in a shroud. —Edith L. Boyd. T ( i; CHS T O X E 259 The Last Dime A quiet lady of first hall Once wanted to phone to Paul, And over to Randall's she did go So that the teachers need not know. She called him once and he was out, Call at one and he'll he about She called at one, and no reply. We d not know the reason why. So R. 1C (i. that Saturday Was sincerely heard to say. I'd give a quarter, my dear friend. To get that ten cents back again. Forwarnod Ede and Russel went walking one day. They walked way out of the limits, they say, They were seen by a teacher Who was hunting for “rocks. Now Ede and Russ expect some big shocks. THE MBRAKY.
