Volume XD3I3 1015 CHARLES II. GORDIXIEK V. . m y C O K] r ° Hill I..... F To CHARLES H. GORDINIER, Our patient instructor, faithful friend and kind ad visor, whose gentle humor has lightened daily the burden oj class room work; whose personality has charmed us into admiration; and whose attainments have proved a source of inspiration to all; we affectionately dedicate this volume. — 5 - T Q Charles orbimer C'1 IIARLhS II. Gordinier was horn in West Rupert, Vermont, August 15, IH07. He was educated in the public schools of X w York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, graduating from the Troy. Pa., high school in 1885. He at once began his teaching career in Bradford county, starting in the little red school-house on the hill. Later he attended alparaiso I niversity, graduating there in 1 SOIL after specializing in languages. In 1 S!)S he received his A. M. from his Alma Mater and in 11)08 Valparaiso conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy. For several years Mr. Gordinier taught in Kentucky, later returning to Troy, where lie was Principal for three years. In 1904 he accepted the chair of Latin at the Shippens-burg Normal School, resigning in 1906 to accept tin same chair and deanship of Kce Mar College, Hagerstown. Md. In 1908 lie was invited to return to Shippensburg to take the department of Hnglish, which he accepted and held for three years. I'pon the death of Dr. Ryerly of Millersville. Dr. Gordinier was offered the chair of classic languages at this institution, lie accepted this offer and began his word here in the fall of 1911. As an institute speaker and lecturer. Dr. Gordinier has appeared in many counties of this state, as well as in Maryland. Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. This work has brought him in contact with educational leaders in the Fast and Middle West and has tended to keep him in touch with modern educational development. During the past few years he has been also active as a temperance worker and has given many j eople of Pennsylvania and Ohio an opportunity to hear his exalted opinion on this subject. His knowledge of the Classic Languages may well be envied. In the class room he is firm but sympathetic. In the translating of the classic languages he is always ready to give his assistance to the students when it means tin saving of time and when he feels the student needs it in any way. We have learned to love his methods and we have partaken of his instruction with pleasure and confidence. Dr. Gordinier is a very good friend of the boys and they in turn all have a high regard for him. The success of his class room woik can be attributed to the fact that the stu- — 0 - — «=! , x SeS s jumui don Is feel that he is doing the things best for their good and his interests are always leaning towards those of the students. We cannot fail to appreciate his interest in us in every way and the good he has done for our school. Millersville, indeed, is proud to number l)r. (iordinier as one of its faculty,;md the students who have passed through this school since lie has been here, are equally proud of him. And one of the memories of M. S. N. S. that will always remain with us, is a fond remembrance of Dr. (iordinier. We, the Class of 1915, have no-''adequate way of showing our appreciation; but this, our year book, though a meagre token, will stand as a lasting memorial of our gratitude and admiration for him. 1 Cable of Content Dedication • - Biography of Charles H.

It gives us no small degree of pleasure to issue this little volume, not because it is the fruit of persistent effort, not because we have accomplished this little triumph in spite of many difficulties, and possibly hardships; but because we believe, wherever it may go, it will serve as a spark to kindle afresh in the hearts of the sons and daughters of M. S. N. S., the old love for the Normal. Doubtless, we as a class will pore through these pages, eager and concerned to find what interests us now; but may we in the future continue to find this little memoir a source of pleasurable reading when, by perusing its familiar lines, we haply may find wherewith to live anew, in some small measure, the days we spent at Millersville. — 9 — i U AT WORK -1 -S'ccArr j ty II ,y Assouan Ed ,o„ j ” MxcM Q rudZ f’. ffiut u j| .Y(iost, TOUCHSTONE ILoIitinjr .Board ✓ I: £ di rofl in Cm ft ASSISTANT’ E.

To he such a student while teaching and then to give to the world the kernel of truth so found, is the teacher's mission among his fellow men. This mission is not realized, however, until the truth has found its application in making mankind hotter and happier. My message to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen is this: Whatever of truth you have learned during your school days and whatever of truth you will learn in your study henceforth, apply it to the amelioration of mankind. In so doing you will serve two your (iod and your fellow men and at the same time see light along the way t greater truth. Living and teaching with this philosophy as your guide, you will find much comfort in the life and work of a teacher. Affectionately, I . M. HA It BOLD. p. ifl. $arbolb, 9. 4 1. A T lb HARHOLD was horn near Churehlown. Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, A - ■ November 17. 1873, and received his early training in the rural and private normal schools of York County. Like many other great men he been me a pedagogue at a very early age and taught for five years before he entered the Millersville Normal School. He was graduated in 1808. being one of the roll of honor. Mis character and his rank as a student let! to his being elected to the faculty of the Normal School, in which position he taught as assistant- teacher, at the same time completing the courses for the degrees of Master and bachelor of Pedagogy. Two years at Franklin and Marshall College led to his again carrying oil' an honor in the class of 1904. A summer term at the I'Diversity of ( hicago and a year at Harvard gave him the degree ot A. M. in 1905. By this time Millersville called him back to become principal of the Model School and he remained in that position for six years, until Lancaster needed a good man for superintendent of her schools and called Mr. Harhold to that position. The force of the man was shown by the remarkable impression he made on the schools and the teachers of Lancaster in the year he worked with them, and by the unbounded confidence placed in him by the directors. But Millersville seemed to have a prior claim and at the end of the school year 1911 Ii2, being in need of a principal, she once more extended a call to Mr. Harhold and Lancaster reluctantly relinquished him to his first Alma Mater. A genial disposition, rare foresight, skill in planning, absolute fairness in dealing with teachers and students, and firmness in execution united with fine scholarship and exceptional pedagogical training make him a worthy principal for the First Pennsylvania State Normal School. te FACULTY!

March 1.5, 1 9.5. He attended the public schools of that place and from there went to ork County Academy. From the Academy he came to Millersville in September. 1911. For one year and two terms he was a student at this institution, but during tin spring vacation of his second year In was stricken with heart trouble and died very suddenly, March 19, 1918. During the time spent here as a student. Herbert was a prominent figure, both in the class room and out. He stood high in his classes, figured well socially, and was an all around athlete, especially starring in base ball. lie was very popular, not only among his classmates, but also among the other classes. This was due to a bright cheerful disposition, backed up by a good Christian character. What a shock it was to us when, upon our return from spring vacation. we heard the news of his death ami how strange and how sad it was to observe the place left vacant by his depart lire! The passing of such a one from our midst could not but be marked by great sorrow, and it is with the most sincere regrets that we place this memorial to one of our number who has crossed over into the Great Beyond.

I'or renluries peculiar arrnngements and formations had been made ttl.rnh showed signs of concentration. These arrangements tended toward a central idea, but .1 was a long time before tin's great force became distinct and allowed itself to he universally acknowledged. However, in 1900. the beginning of the twentieth century this great movement separated itself as a class, to run the race with the century. From this lime forward, the struggling undercurrent of the force resolved itself into a mighty power destined to have no less effect than even the century itself. The first date of importance seems to fall to September. 1911. In this year the class took on a bold front. In 1914, the great power developed into its definite and fixed purpose. “Mindful and Faithful, and has since showed the world its fuller and deeper meaning. If we should enter upon the more specific detail of our history, we may state that our class is composed of representatives of both North and South America, besides pure American blood here are traces to be seen of Irish, Scotch, English, Herman, French, and Spanish descents. A fine combination of these elements results in a class of noble blood. It has been said before that fhis class began the race with the century. This is possible because our noble blood lays a foundation for great versatility. If we mention athletics, we could give a long account of our success in that line, but other sections of this hook will tell its story. Every kind of game was hacked by a strong team. We did not win every game. but. in defeat, we were good losers. The most commendable fact that ought to be mentioned is the spirit in which the boys and girls entered the games. Good and clean athletics was our slogan. In oratory we find among our ranks individuals who will some day sway the world by the skillful use of their talent. No less gifted are we in debate and. if we should mention the wielding of the pen, again we must grant the (Mass of 1913 the better end of the argument. Among the leading poetic and prose selections of current literature we have I lie pleasure of claiming members of our class as among their authors. — 29 — Iii speaking of the development of the aesthetic sense it is theory to sav that music “hath charms hut tin- class illustrates very well the practical application of the same. In the various music recitals it became evident that many of our members arc gifted with that liner sense of real music which is shown in the interpretation of the more delicate touches of a master’s creation. Lastly, we ascribe to our class the virtue of scholarship. In this, we claim a high average as well as a high individual scholarship, not the frail spiderweb, which is a result of “cramming or “bluffing, but real scholarship, exemplified by the spirit of investigation and research. Those things we say not in pride or a boastful manner, but with firm confidence that what we say is true and worthy to he iccognizcd. Now since June 23, 11)15. is history, the class is accomplishing its true aim. Like a mighty drill which descends far beneath the rocky surface of this earth, we as a class arc digging to discover rich truths. All that is in us is concentrated so as to bring all forces to bear upon the diamond point of our drill, “Mindful anti Faithful. and with « truly missionary spirit we shall he worn away gradually by use. but a million more diamonds will have been hewn out to take our place. —SO- Martha M.

She even believed that the clock in the reception hall was brought as a relic from the Pall of Rome in the “Mayflower” and presented to the school by Christopher Columbus. After being a resident of Millersvillc, Columbia, and a day-student, she finally settled down as a boarding student. Martha appeared to he very studious and always had the luck of being called on for the very topic that she studied. Skating and playing tennis are two of her favorite sports and on hot summer days she could often be seen indulging in the latter of these two sports. She also enjoys moving pictures and while at school gave many reproductions of them to her class-mates. Martha took great interest in her Model School work so we are sure that she will be successful in the future. Harry 15.

Harry’s home is at the Normal, and this accounts for his having become so attached to it. Harry is our tenor soloist and has charmed every one to such an extent that we look forward with delight when we hear his name announced. His musical ability is shown in more ways than one. he being an active member of the Normal and School Orchestras. His faithfulness is shown in the fact that on a certain occasion, when the School Orchestra was expected to play, after Harry distributed music for ten or twelve members, only one found his way to tin Gymnasium. thus causing quite a calamity. Harry has a very cheerful disposition and wo never sec him but that he isn’t wearing a broad smile. This accounts lor his popularity among the fair sex. We wish for Harry and the fortunate one a happy and successful voyage through life. — 46 — Lancaster, I’a. Lois I. Batsman Maiden with the meek I.luo eyes In whose orh a fancy lies.

' She is a dear, lovable girl, hut so modest , and certainly hates to be teased. Lois takes great interest in her work and we expect to hear that she is a fine teacher in the future. Lois never mentions the hoys hut 1 heard that she has “Royal” dreams of one. We hope she may meet her ideal soon. Lois is one of our day students and lives near Lancaster. Although quiet in school, at home she is a great lease and often entertains her sisters to their sorrow by singing. Lois told me that she cannot decide whether to study for physical culture or osteopathy. So we wish her the greatest success in whatever she decided to do. William II. Bkckkk.

Pa. Ethel. M. Bleiohbrt To know her i to love her.” We can scarcely speak of Ethel without, at the same time, considering her inseparable chum. Together they prove the old adage—“Birds of a feather flock together.” Ethel has a very sweet and happy disposition -she always sees the funny side of things—and it is partly due to this fact that she has won such a great number of friends while at school. Ethel is very fond of taking gymnastics, but. unfortunately, the work here is far too strenuous for her to indulge. Who would ever think this little girl was a doctor! No one was ever known to have an ailment but that Ethel would recommend her speedv-relicf remedy. good for everything that ails you. Ethel informs ns that she is going to take up Domestic Science, and we are certain that she is doing this for more reasons than on°. for her “Ames (aims) are very high.

Amt his miiul «ii l muse on all that men e’er thought ..r knew Though Maurice claims his home to be in Michigan, he is, after all. a product of Lancaster County. The Lancaster schools gave him his education up to the third year of tin high school, when his father and family moved to Clarksville, Michigan There our friend absorbed that practical knowledge and freedom of thought which is characteristic of all westerners. In choosing an institution for higher learning Maurice turned to “Old Millcrsville.” Maurice is one of the most versatile boys of our class. We hardly know in which line of achievements he is best, for he is a master of oratory, debate, art, and science, as well as a good general scholar. We probably strike the keynote of his talent when we speak of him as a poet. The various selections in this book reveal his genius. These are only a few of a volume of a hundred poems, the general character of which varies from the comic to those of “profoundest philosophical thought. — 48 — Estiikh Vinetta Bkbknkk. Millcjrsville, Pa. Always at work. Esther lias always lived in Millersville. She started in tlu Kindergarten and continued in the Model through the high school, from which she graduated with honors. While Esther was yet in the high school she had admirers from far and near. Now, however, “ Oil” claims Esther’s attention. He does not live so far away and hence can conn oftener. We have yet to mention other phases of Esther's character. Esther is a hard worker both at home and at her studies. Her skill in the art of drawing is quite marked and she is also no less competent as a reciter. As a teacher in the Model she has been very successful. Esther the future looks bright for you. “Always at work.” is a good motto. Wo hope I hat you w ill keep it. Maggie lb n ... ..Stevens, Pa. “Tliy modesty is u nuiiltr to thy merits. 'This quiet, good-natured little girl from Stevens joined our ranks in the Spring of It) 1 2. She has always been quiet and well conducted and also a hard worker. Since she sits at Miss Lyle’s table she very seldom utters a word except when the Chemistry formula II I) is mentioned. Then, we are told, she becomes very much interested and we know-then is a reason. She is such an unassuming girl that many of her classmates scarcely know her. but those who room near her. or are her intimate friends, know her to be willing to lend a helping hand to any one who is in need. History of Education is Maggie’s bugbear. One of her favorite expressions is. “If only it were Spring Term so I would not have to go to History of Ed.” Whatever path may be hers in tlu future, we wish her greatest, success. I I -J,9- II.

There is a certain light-haired young man in the Class of 1015 oft times called the Father of Ilis Class, which title he Inis won h.v years of hard (?) services as a .student at this school. He received his early education at the York County Academy, and having learned what was to lie learned there, he came here in “ages inconceivably remote.” Since then he has been occupied mainly in sleeping, arising each morning just in time to polish his shoes, brush his clothes, 1011 his hair, and go to Methods at S A.

But more frequently he can l.c heard singing, “For You’re My‘Baby.’ I his suggests the reason for his numerous trips to Lancaster.

Paul, a product of Williamsiown High, entered here last Fall and soon made himself eonspieuous by his freshness: hut a meeting of the “Sanhedrin soon changed his mind in that respect. With this new insight into life, he soon reformed into a loyal member of the ( lass of 1015. For a while we were in doubt as to whether his name was Paul Carl or Carl Paul; but we were never in doubt as to bis presence, for lu always announced it with a great display of “much noise.” He specializes in the other sex and 1 am sure he will always remember a certain ‘‘house party.” He never let Ins studies bother him. for this is his motto: “If your studies interfere with pleasure, give up your studies.” Moreover, Paul says he is going to West Point to be a drum major, or a color sergeant, or something similar.

After graduating from the Bovertown High School, she decided that Millers-ville was just the |dace to further her studies and we were glad to welcome her into our renowned class iu the Fall of 101:5. She thus completed the course in two years. Esther is a studious member, as proven by her class work, and it has been hinted to us that she is an energetic member of our Grinder's Club. She has shown very little interest in our class affairs, but has willingly and effectively displayed her ability iu society work. As History is her favorite study we can expect nothing else but that she will win great fame as a teacher of that science.

Isabel is never more happy than when she has a book to read, even often neglecting her studies, as she often says. “I should have studied, but I read.” We know very little about her home affairs. but we do know that site is very fond of “farming and is also very fond of auto rides.

While leafing through this book you can see some of her handicraft. Much of the success of our Junior and Senior year sociables was due to the untiring efforts of Sarah. Sarah is never more happy than when she can sit at the window and smile to her cherub, as she calls him, hotter known to his classmates as Joe. His dark eyes ami loving glances from his room to the balcony where she frequently, lingers surely are attractive. She is not happy unless everything about her is nice and prim.

The solution to this fact becomes apparent when we take into consideration that the principal of the Denver High School is a very important and interesting person to her.

When I recall the formative period of our existence as a class—when we as Freshmen were laying the foundation of our future history I find it surrounded with a halo of doubt, uncertainty, and apprehension. Amid all this, many exciting scenes are vividly presented to my mind, in which we figured prominently. At this point a change awaited us. We shuffled off our verdant garb of Fresh man hood and entered upon the freedom and responsibility of the Sophomore year. We had under our observance a large number of Freshmen who were very greenand easy: and. after watching their movements, we then fully understood what the term “(ireenness included and what it meant to be a Freshman. We can sav with pride that the class of 1017 look active part in the various events of the school year, being well represented on the ’Varsity football and basketball squads. In summing up. suffice it to say that our class has established an enviable reputation and a lasting record. ow, may each member, true to the class of I!) 17. and loyal to the Dear Old Normal, lend a hand to brighten that record as the succeeding years roll on. — 1.1 — A Jfresljman Class Officers President Vice President Secretary ...

Although we were piite “green and some of us made the usual mistake of going to the wrong classroom or of getting lost in the corridors, etc., yet early in the Fall term we became members of a well organized class. We have not done anything worthy of notice as yet. except that a few of the more brainy of our number have left our ranks and joined the class of 1917; but. believing in the old adage that great things come from small beginnings, wc still have hope ami are sure that our present verdancy will soon wear off. Although we have never had a chance to cope with the other classes in athletics, we feel sure that we could make a creditable showing as we were ably (though sparsely) represented on both the football ami baseball teams.

Dr. Ilarbold. with the able assistance of tin faculty and the Seniors, succeeded in adjusting conditions, for they were frail, frail indeed. After much serious deliberation, the “Prep nursery was decided upon to be the place best adapted totheir needs. Now they are growing slowly. Their first perception which is particularly striking. yet perfectly natural, is that of a Senior. They early learned that a Senior is one to whom they can go for sound judgment and good advice. Often have they failed and come far short of the standard requirements, but in every ease it was a Senior who, unswerving from their purpose, gave them help.

The year of 15)1.5 marks an epoch of spirited rivalry between tin Page and its sister society, the Normal, bringing about a great development of the latent powers in the membership of both societies. 'Phis spirit of rivalry has been promoted by the annual debating contest in which tin Faculty have taken much interest by presenting a banner of the winning society's colors with the names of the members of the debating team on it. Although we didu t have the pleasure of receiving the banner last year, we feel that the ability shown by the members of our society in the regular meetings this year will assert itself and bring the banner to our society in 11)15. Not only has this spirit of rivalry been in society meetings, but also in athletics, in which the Pageites were victorious in an exciting basketball game by a score of 'i'i 11. The literary part of our programs have been very interesting and beneficial throughout the whole school year, and a new feature has been added; that of a lady delivering the oration occassionallv in the regular meetings. We cannot overlook the musical side of our program and the talent displayed by all the participants. Too mill'll credit cannot be given to the orchestra this year for their faithful attendance at rehearsals and persevering practice upon music of by no means a low order. The (lice Club also did their work well with unusual success; and the realization of this goes a long way towards repaying the time snatched for practice from daily work. Likewise we are always glad to hear the selections rendered by the Male Quartet which are always very pleasing and entertaining. — 121 — It is an infallible truth that the present age is the receiver of an invaluable j ift. the experiences of the past. Similarly tlie members of the Page Society at present ami the prospective members inherit the achievements of the Society. Tin Standards have already been set. These standards are not the limit of attainment and success, but a basis for improvement. It is. therefore, the duty of every loyal Pageite to at least retain if not uplift them. With this aim in view the direct results will be manifested in all the meetings and the indirect results in the fitness of the participants to answer their call in life. —122 — PAGE OUCHES'!

Two men instrumental in its founding were Dr. Fdward Brooks, one of our former principles and William W • I'ell. a distinguished lawyer. It was organized to develop the talents of its members as well as to promote the interests of the school. The motto of the society, “Fight for Truth and Right,” has been bravely upheld for fifty-eight years and its “Crimson Banner” is now supported bv even greater strength than it has been in the past. As we look into its history. e see great things accomplished by many of its members. The society feels proud of its famous men and lately felt honored when Dr. Brumbaugh, who put lortli his first oratorical efforts in this society, was elected Governor of Pennsylvania. Other great men as Chief Justice I). Nowlin Fell. Dr. Jacobs, Superintendent of S. boots in Philadelphia. Mr. .1. L. Slimy, and Mr. Cooper, also add fame and honor to our society. Although the past has been bright, the present work deserves commendation because of its high standard, and the spirit in which it is carried out. Mucli attention is paid to the musical part of the program. The society feels proud of its various musical organizations such as the orchestra, glee club. Normal quartet, and the string quartet. Excellent vocal and instrumental music has been furnished by its talented members throughout the year. Although much attention is given to the musical program, even greater efforts are put forth in its literary work. The essays, orations, and recitations add much interest to the programs because of their high quality and appropriate subjects. Much spirit is manifested in both regular and general debates. Interesting and modern questions are discussed, giving much information to all. The debators of the present year have been greatly inspired by the banner won last year in the inter-society debating contest. The society work is greatly aided by the society library to which many new volumes have been added recently, ai.d in which the banner won by the debating team liasa prominent place. 127 «. NORM l.

Noble efforts have been put forth to attain its purpose whieli is to unite the girls of the institution in loyalty to Jesus Christ and to lead them to accept Him as their personal Saviour. What gave most buoyancy to the work was the inspiration brought back by the large delegation to Kaglesmere. One of the greatest steps forward has been made by the improved committee work. The Devotional, Ibble Study, and Missionary Committees together with the Music Committee have made the prayer-meetings very interesting and beneficial. Probably, the most successful work done for bringing about closer fellowship among the girls was that accomplished by the Social Committee through its most enjoyable fetes. The Finance Committee has raised money by selling pretzels, candy, by a bazaar of hand-made articles, lawn sales and a play. With the co-operation of the Systematic-giving Committee a sum has been raised for the support of a missionary in South America. A new committee of Social Service has been added to the Cabinet. It has aided the Red Cross Society in the making of garments and has made happy many unfortunate children with appropriate gifts. It sent large Thanksgiving donations to Lancaster for distribution among the poor and brightened many sick rooms with flowers. We were kept in touch with the associations of the world by the Association New Committee. The Y. NY. C. A. has had the privilege of having with them for ten days. Miss Richardson, the student secretary. During her stay she conducted a class in missions, taking for her subject. “India Awakening. The whole association felt the influence of her wonderful personality. NYc can never forget Dr. Rachel Williams, who gave us splendid health talks. NYe feel sure that the girls have profited much by her talks. As the V. NY. C.

Of the organizations of our school. w«. fool sure that the Y. M. C. A. stands out as one of the dominant influences of our scIumjI life. The Y. M. A. Inis served as a gentle restraint, a moral preservative, a spiritual inspiration, a guiding light, and a heaeon star to all of us. The spirit of the work was manifested l tv the large attendance of the boys, and their interest in the meetings. It was. indeed without indifference, that on caeli Thursday night, we crowded into one of our rooms on each of the halls and spent those precious moments between retiring bells, joining our voices in song, listening to the reading of the sacred Word, or bowing our heads reverent l in a few words of prayer, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, before the throne of God. On Sunday mornings the Y. M. C. A. hoys were among the early risers, and after the usual breakfast hour, filed into Hoorn II, where we spent a profitable forty-five minutes in song service and discussion of the regular topics. At the close of the Sahhath we joined our sister organization in a joint prayer meeting, and together enjoyed ji season of song devotion, which was followed with a talk by one of the students or teachers. By request of the Y, M. (’. A., Dr. Mull consented to give lectures on missions, for one half hour each Sunday afternoon, during the winter term, lie enlightened us of the conditions in China and the attempts to better them. The association sends delegates to the Norlhfield Conference each summer, who return with great inspiration and thoughts of the great leaders in the college and school Y. M. (’. A. movement. Thus by these engagements we grew to appreciate the hour of worship and learned to keep alive the spark of Christian fellowship, and many shall be our memories of them and large our debt of gratitude. - t8A — o. w. c. z. ra.

The const an I aim of our Normal School V. is to live up to this high calling ami where can noble ideas hear more abundant fruit than when sown in the fertile soil of a Normal School! They will he like the seed which fell in good ground and brought forth fruit an hundred old. The generous enthusiasm of youth, and the opportunity of the teacher make a combination most favorable for the hopes of a rich harvest For thirty years, since April. 1HK5. the Normal School Christian Temperance I nion has been sowing the seeds of temperance at Millcrsville. The students who go from our school must, at least, know about the progress of this vital reform. Many of them become advocates and workers, as the more than seventeen hundred names in the I'nion's pledge and membership book bear witness. When the Normal School graduates of a state, become teachers of temperance, the effect will be felt in the life of the state. “Whatever you want to put into tin- schools you must first put into the teachers.” Kverv two weeks during the school term the union holds a meeting consisting of devotions, a short business session, and a musical ami literary program of some kind. These programs aim to supply inspiration and give information concerning temperance work. Numerous public meetings are held, at which the I’nion presents speakers of note. During the term of 1014 15 we have had the following speakers of national fame:- Col. Geo. W. Bain, Mrs. Mary Harris Armor. Mrs. Deborah Knox Livingston, and Hon. Michael .1. Fanning, as well as others of lesser note. The I nion carries on a flower mission, and any one about the school who is sick for any time, receives a bouquet with a scripture message tied with a bow of white ribbon. The su|H rintendent of literature has distributed thousands of pages of literature during the term. Music holds an important place in our methods of work; and our superintendent of music uses the talents of the members to add interest and inspiration to our meetings. We love to sing. “All round the world The ribbon white is twined; All round the world The glorious light has shined; — ISO All round I he world Our cause has right of way.

Its existence has a two-fold result. It not only relieves the teachers of this unnecessary watchful waiting policy, hut prepares the student to be a master disciplinarian, a qualification of a master-teacher. The presiding body. or Senate, consists of a ......her of representatives from each class, who transact all business in conformance with parliamentary law. At the beginning of the Fall Term of the school year. 'I t '15, a meeting of all the hoys was called and the question of the Student. Senate was presented. Thus the work of the Senate began upon its third year of existence. A short lime later a question of the success or failure of the Senate lead l« another mass meeting of the hoys The problem was viewed intelligently by all interested in the work. The outcome of the meeting was a firm resolution on the part of all to assist in all possible ways in carrying on I lie work, and the Senate again discharged their duties with increased vigor. The work of the Senate during the past year must be considered a success in spite of any failures, when we contrast the condition of the dormitory with its condition at certain times during other years, 'l he amount of property destroyed in the dormitory since the organization of tin Senate is comparatively small, which is a practical measurement of its efficiency as a governing body. It would be unjust to mention only the bright incidents in t he existence of the Senate. Any failures it may have had can lie traced directly to the will of the students on the matter under question. An ideal Senate can only result when the different classes have realized the responsibility of electing men of legislative, judicial, and executive ability. This is the parting wish of the heller part of the Class of ’ 15. To any active senator who considers his work l have been done in vain, the following words of Longfellow’ are truly encouraging: “Ob, fear not in a world like this. And thou shaft know ere long, Know how sublime a thing it is To suffer and grow strong. — JSS — ATHLETICS (Executive Committee •I. Carlos Lores. President « l A. A. and Captain Basketball.

Conch Sharkey issued the first call for football candidates. Quite a large and promising squud reported. Prospects looked good and brightened up as practice advanced, and the eoaeh divided the candidates into two squads. Everything pointed towards a successful season as there were six of last year’s 'Varsity men back and some very promising looking new material. Coach Sharkey and Captain I locust inc whipped a team into line shape for the first game, and we made a Hying start bv beating our old rivals. Stevens Trade School, $0 to 0, Millersville put up an excellent game, completely outclassing their opponents and expectations ran high for repetitions of this feat, but alas, only to fall again. For the following Saturday they met defeat at the hands of the strong Conway Hall team at Carlisle, by the score of 2(5 to . Although completely outclassed and outplayed, Millersville played a plucky game and were not in the least ashamed of the score. On October 10th, Millersville. with a broken up team, met F. and M. Reserves and again went down to defeat. The following Saturday, Millersville showed a flash of their fine form by tying (iettysburg Scrubs (0 to 0). Millersville not only played them to a stand still, but had the ball in their territory tin majority of the time; and. in fact, at one stage of the game, were within a few inches of scoring and would have done so had not the whistle blown for the end of the first half. For the next game. Millersville expected an easy victory over Lancaster High, but were sadly disillusioned and woke up at the end of the game to find themselves at the short end of a IS to 0 score. November ? saw a squad of some thirty men leave for Tome Institute via Pcquca. That night saw them return broken in spirit and body, with a new defeat hanging on their scalp belts; Tome Institute, 88; Millersville. (I. In the return game w ith F. and M. Reserves. Millersville showed better form, but the former managed to nose out a victory of 8 to 0. by kicking a field goal after several previous futile attempts. Thanksgiving Day brought our season to a close and with it a defeat from the hands of our old rivals. Stevens Trade School. 144 — Considering the disadvantages under which the team played, the season was considered partly successful, lint this success is not entirely due to the 'Varsity. Too much credit can not he meted out to the scrubs for their untiring efforts throughout the year. Although we have heard rumors of abolishing football at this institution and introducing soccer in its place, we are safe in saying that as long as this matter is left to tin boys to decide, M illcrsvillc will be represented on I he gridiron by teams worthy of fighting under tin black and gold. The fact that only a few of the Normal Schools of lOaslcrn Pennsylvania play football causes us to believe sometimes that it would be wise to do away with this uiihinuan (?) sport, but. if called upon for a final decision, wc no doubt would oppose our belief. The prospects for a winning team next year are excellent, ns the majority of this year’s 'Varsity men and also a number of the plucky second team men expect to return to the Old Normal with a store of confidence of making the season of l!)lu the most successful in the history of M.

Loris Oram Lyte, Mascot 146 €lass Jfootball I T is '«t more than proper that we should devote a page of our book to relate what our I illustrious Class has accomplished along the line of football. Owing to the belief held by the Athletic Association that the allowing of ‘Varsity men to participate in class games lends to mitigate a unity of spirit, it was decided to eliminate them from such games. This aroused a certain disagreement among the classes and as a result no class games were played this year. Our great and decisive victory of last year over our esteemed rivals, the present Juniors, leads us to believe that we would have taken the palm again, since the same team that fought so gallantly under the maroon and gold would have represented us this year cm the field of battle. We. as a Class, are famed for our invincible spirit which has always been dominant in all our undertakings and it was this characteristic which featured in that particular game. It was thought that the present Juniors would be victorious since their strength was presumably the greater. Our great victory shows that it is not always weight that counts in a contest of this kind, for we were outweighed by twenty pounds to the man; in fact, our rivals had the big men of the 'Varsity and we were what was left.

The following year the fates were again unkind to us and. though lighting gamely till the whistle blew. we. with a team containing but one ’Varsity man. were compelled to yield the supremacy to the Seniors who had a team composed entirely of ’Varsity men. Those who believe in the old adage. What happens twice, will happen thrice.” had their faith justified in the annals of our class basketball, for history repeated itself last year. For although we defeated the Seniors in a well played game, when we met the Sophs, who had meanwhile defeated the Freshies. we met our Waterloo. We got some satisfaction out of the fact that we won one game, even if we did lose the finals. This one step forward gave us lots of confidence for an overwhelming victory this year. Dissension arose in this sport also this year over the 'Varsity men's ineligibility and no games were played, much to our chagrin.

The attendance was large, which was due probably as much to rivalry as to the desire of blending male voices with the voices of the fair ones; for unlike other games of basket Ball, the student body was divided according to their respective societies instead of sex. The Normalitcs held sway over one end of the ( ym . while the Pngeites occupied the other. nd never before was the iym filled with so many cheers as when the Red Coats approached the Blue Jackets.’ I he Signal was given and the great battle was on. Plenty of pep was displayed on both sides from beginning to end. You might think of the game as being one of rough and tumble. Such was not the case, for the Normalitcs fought under the banner of Truth and Bight, while Rich in Truth floated over the Pngeites. As a result of the game the Normalitcs were defeated by a score of 2 2 to II. 'Flic superiority of the Page team was due to the fact that the majority of its players were second team men, the ‘Varsity being debarred. In summing up, we may say that the inter-society game will forever take the place of the fast (?) Facully-Y. M. (’.

With these men was (iladfelter. a varsity man in 1910, to form the nucleus for a new team. Good material seemed scarce, and matters were made still more trying by the bad luck which seemed to follow the team in its development. But despite all the drawbacks, by continued shifting of men. a combination has been put together which has already won hard games and bids fair to make the season another successful one. Stevens Trade sprung a surprise by taking the first game by a . to t score, due to May’s wildness and poor support. Coatcsville Nigh School proved an easy victim. Sherts being on the mound in this game. Things took a brighter turn when Skiles, a former star, returned to school, and assumed the pitching duties. He started by shutting Schuylkill Seminary out without a hit. but the next week lost at West Chester. Skiles could not work in the next two games, while scholastic duties took Keen from the team. However, bandisville succumbed K to t . due to hard hitting by the wearers of the black and gold. The Kutxtown game proved unlucky. We not only lost the game, but also Captain (iladfelter. who had been playing a whirlwind game at short field and at bat. He broke his leg while sliding into second base and is lost to the team for the rest of the season. Bain won the game against Conway Hall, and the week’s lay-off brought another change for the better. Skiles and Keen returned to the game and Mercersburg lost 10 to S. This was followed by a 1 to 0. fourteen inning victory over West Chester, in which Skiles allowed but two hits, no passes, and struck out twenty-nine men. Judging from these two victories and granted a fair amount of luck, we think it safe to prophesy victory in the three remaining contests with Kutztowu.

During the three years of its career it has gained a spotless record. The spirit of inter-class games is always of a high nature. As usual, this spirit is equal in all classes before and during the game. However, the outcome of the game results in an invigoration of the spirit of the winning team accompanied by an equal obliteration of the victorious air-castles of the losing team. Our baseball team, by its unity in time of common danger, and it expert leadership, has always been instrumental in up-lifting this spirit to a high level. On account of the strength of tin opposing teams, the season of the Spring of 101 t was one of faithful effort on the part of our team-mates. I In final struggle of this season deserves separate mention. The opposing team, which was a combination of the team of the 11114 class and post-graduates, could see nothing but apparent victory and defeat was not expected in the least. Hut their victory was nothing more than an apparent one. ns the outcome of the game added another star to the bright crown of our success. Our opponents may soon forget what we say here, but will long remember our coin-memorable record in baseball. tO1 0L T oSSSS L? baseball IxeSerbcS Jacobs, 1 1 . Hoffman, ‘i l . McCjINTY, s. s.

It had been the custom in former years for the faculty to play the V. M. V, hut possibly on account of lack in the number of men or fear of the strength of the team, the faculty declined to play. I'npropitious weather conditions had twice prevented the game, hut on the Slsl of May the Mgr , and Captains of the rival societies hn htheir respective teams out in all the “form and alertness capable of being attained. The sidelines were crowded with eager lookers-on. some favoring Page and some Normal, but all in ft perfect athletic spirit, no matter how the outcome might he. The umpire called the game and. amid cheers of encouragement the lirst Page batter stepped to the plate. Pour runs were scored before the Page had to take the field. Now with similar applause and cheers the Normalites swing the lick but are unable to score a run. In the four innings that followed seven more runs were scored by the men of Blue, while the men of Bed scored only two. making the final score 11 to in favor of the Pageites. The entire game was one of excitement, both to the rooters and players, but the spirit in which both victory and decal were taken was worthy of the utmost commendation. An admission of ten cents was charged, which money went for the benefit of the M. C. A. It is probable that an inter-societ.v game in baseball will feature annually and that it can look back to ‘l. for its introduction. t$0 Malinger Captain Senior Crach ®eam II. ( 'l.Y MKIt Hr .1.

Our track team was victorious in both t lie in-door and the field meets held in 1913-1 b and every indication, owing to the unrivaled skill of our available contestants, points to a similar result in the already begun contest of this year. The trials in the 100 and k2l20 yard dashes have taken place and members of the Senior track team qualified for the finals in both these events. The results of other trials exhibit promising prospects. This victory on our part if such is the case will grant us the privilege of retaining the Reisner Cup and will be a symbol of our success for the third time. Due to the participating in other forms of athletics, track work was not participated in very greatly, and only at the beginning of the last month of school, a convenient time for holding a track meet presented itself; and that is our reason for not being able to state definitely just what might be the results. The in-door meet last year was the first held at this institution in many years and, due to the great interest and enthusiasm shown by all, it was hoped that we would have a repetition of the same event this year, but no definite time for holding it was agreed upon. 'Plie one great and marvelous thing in our class is that our members are well distributed as to their ability since no two have excelled in the same line. We have always placed confidence in each of our representatives in any event and, in all cases, they never failed us. In closing, we wish to thank those who have made it possible for us to have such a brilliant career. Our acknowledgments are extended most especially to Mr. Louis Lyte, the track manager, and our coach, Mr. Dennis Sharkey. —168 — ®racU Itljlctics RACK athletics received great aid fliis year by the building of a fifth mile cinder track on I life athletic field. In former years we were greatly handicapped through its absence. It is now a daily sight to see a goodly number of men at work training for various events. Some very good material has made its appearance and with careful handling l. S. N. S. can easily turn out a team that will be able to hold its own with other schools in her class. On account of the late and very wet spring no team was ready for the Penn Relays. Later on an Inter-class Meet was scheduled but after being postponed tw ire. examination week arrived which necessitated the calling off of the meet. This meet would have been very interesting, as no one class has much advantage with regard to material. Much of the track material will return to school next year and with the improved conditions for work M. S. N.

A meeting of the Tennis Association followed in Room R. President Karl Ifopton presided tactfully, and Miss Rich cheerfully presented the financial statement of the association. Opinion finally crystallized in an Inter-Class Tournament of both singles and doubles. For the preliminaries there were entries in doubles and 58 in singles, making in all about ?. preliminary matches to be played. The preliminaries, semi-finals and finals were played at various times and finally terminated the last week of school. The Senior girls, after several very interesting matches in both singles and doubles, were victorious over all the other contestants and were the recipients of beautiful silver t rophies. We are proud to relate this incident because it is seldom that the girls have the Opportunity of exhibiting their skill in the performance of any athletic event. Although the final matches in both singles and doubles on the boys' side have not been played as yet. the victory in both of these events lies between the Seniors and Juniors We can not well say which class will come out victorious, as time will not permit us to await the final results. The spirit and enthusiasm displayed by all participants and the impression made upon those interested lead us to believe that an inter-class tennis tournament will be held next year and that it will finally become an annual occurrence at M. S. N. S. In closing we express our thanks to Dr. C. L Staples who, through his constant and ever lasting work, made tin tournament a success. 173 ELIZABETH JEFFERIES SYMONS VELMA DILWOKTH r GEORGE DONALD I URICH HAROLD RANK I HRIC II EVENTS GIRL’S ROOM IRVinc aov A BOV’S ROOM Junior anti Senior Sociables of tfjc Class of 1015 f I has been an estal lislic ! custom for many years for each class l give an entertain-ment of some kind, in Imtli their Junior ami Senior years. These entertainments are given to the faculty and all students of the school. Being true to our motto, Mcmor et Kidclis. we repeated the enactment of our predecessors, and it so happened that socialites were decided upon as diverting performances for each year. We can speak with great pride of both of these events, but more especially of tin one in our Junior year. It was given on February I!). 11)14. Owing to the fact that Washington’s Birthday was so near, we decided to base our proceedings upon colonial customs. The first part of the evening’s entertainment consisted of a highly exaggerated daily routine in a country school, which was entirely original. The participants played their parts with a great degree of efficiency and all were quite deserving of the praise bestowed upon them. The Colonial Tea Room was one of the great artistic and attractive creations. The occupants were dressed in a manner which was coordinate with the days of old. and each one presented an admiring appearance. Many other places of amusement curried out the idea very completely. The cover page of the souvenir program displayed a design in the form of a hatchet and cherries, and tin lettering was done in maroon and gold to represent our Class Colors. We had the highest honors paid to us bv teachers of any class of former years. The Senior Sociable was given on December 14. IDIa. Due to the wintry weather at that lime, we decided to develop the scheme of a winter scene. We accomplished this idea by gathering what evergreens were possible along the river and in addition to these, large spruces were obtained at the florist. These were decorated with cotton and a glistening web which presents the appearance of real snow. Kskimo houses were constructed and artificial icicles were made. It was very near an accurate representation of the real thing. The features of amusements were varied but the most interesting one was an illustration of dormitory life by both the boys and girls. The highest degree of accuracy in imitating the events of every day life is that which most amuses us. ami it was so in the ease of both the boys and girls. The programs are very worthy of mention, since they served as a very appropriate relic for all students. The front cove- page hore a very beautiful picture of a winter ISO scene of our front gate and campus. They were spoken of very highly in the Normal Notes of the Millersvillinn. Since these entertainments are held hut once a year, it would seem that a class would not he willing to consume such lengthy periods of time in preparing for an entertainment of only a few hours, but such is not usually the case. Our class worked together on both these oceasions and each one contributed something, either in ideas or the performance of some labor, to the success of the events. It is miraculous what a body such as ours is can do in the way of furnishing devices as a means of entertainment. We are proud to say that by such an unity of ideas we contrived many instrumentalities that were never before thought of. We shall look back upon these times in years to come with a great degree of admiration and those of us who excel in the satisfying of the pleasure seeking world, can boast of the experience which we received in the performance of these wonderful things. We shall not be able to know to what heights other classes may excel in these yearly entertainments, but we do feel that our success ran scarcely he surpassed, even though it is said that strange things often occur. But you “never can tell. SCENE AT MAY DAY CARNIVAL Girls’ CarmUal l OK the second time in tin history of this institution an exhibition of Physical Train- inj' was given in our (lyiil.

The Senior girls preceded by a large banner bearing their year 11)15 led I lie march. The Seniors were dressed exclusively in red and blue. They were followed by the Juniors in red and black, the Sophomores in black and blue, and finally tin Freshmen in green and white, each class preceded bv their respective banners. After the march the Senior girls formed a large 1015 figure and sang a Senior song to the tune of Old Black Joe. This was followed bv an exhibition of Herman tactics lor which the Senior girls received great applause. The aeeurraey on the spur of the moment and the unity with which they obeyed I In' slightest command would have credited the Herman army itself. The Junior girls next danced a Valentine dance with the utmost ease and grace. In their bright red costumes they presented a brilliant array and by their good work, they well merited the round of applause given them by the audience. I he Sophomores in a Swedish weaving dance Yafva Vudinul portrayed the different phases of old fashioned weaving very remarkably. About 75 girls look part in the wand drill which also was very Well executed. The second part of the program began with a selection by the Normal Orchestra after which the Seniors again gave a beautiful exhibition with tennis balls in a Ball drill. The Junior girls then appeared before the large audience and skillfully danced Czardas, a Hungarian dance. The wearers of the green were not inconspicuous, for the free hand drill given by them under the direction of Miss Hazel Wert man. a Senior, did credit to the Freshmen class. The final and most beautiful feature in the entire program was the dance and w inding about a many colored may-pole. The winding of the pole was an extremely difficult task but it was accomplished with rare skill by the girls of the illustrious Class of 11)15. — 183 — iietoapaper Clippings SENIORS OK NORM l« SCHOOL ENTERTAIN HHWCiK A AlMTH Si’ENK or lriri.K“.

No. I didn't have a dream for my dreaming apparatus failed to respond to my desires. No one can say that I did not try, for I passed many sleepless nights in the attempt, but the reality Was utterly impossible. I even had the persistency to spend one night by the side of the Conestoga, sleeping among wriggling water snakes and other venomous vipers; my head wrapped in a cloth which had previously covered the head of a dreaming dog you know one is never known to fail under that condition but I only dreamed about one person, and that person was not a member of my class. It was suggested since I could not urge my attention to lapse from the sensible world that I visit the renowned oracle of Apollo at Delphi, and since I am lacking in that condition of mind, which tends to strive against the plausible absurdities, the hollow pretences, the stupendous irrationalities of the sense of assenting without any reluctance whatever to insinuations made by others; namely, good common sense, I undertook tin journey. I know Robinson Crusoe did not experience greater adventures, and I think I can safely sav that when I tell my experiences in heaven. Jonah will be eom| ellcd to sit in the background; if however, dear readers, Jonah does not happen to go to heaven, then you can tell him my experiences. I started one morning before breakfast and had traveled quite a distance when it suddenly dawned upon me that I had forgotten to get a leave of absence from Dr. Roddy. I had to return because 1 knew well that if I went without his consent, it would mean at least live demerits. The Doctor gave me his permission very reluctantly—not that he was fearful that I might come back dead but instead he thought more about the fact that I would miss a few classes. I went to Hampton Ronds and there boarded the (ierman sea raider Krouprin . N ilhelin I think that was the name. 1 was most hospitably entertained by the Captain, and though he did not guarantee me a safe arrival. I found great consolation in — 226 — • tIk fact that no greater calamity than to sink in mid-ocean was expected. I felt much better after I was told that, because I was sore afraid that I might get killed, and I certainly didn't want Indie while on such an important mission. It was marvelous how elusively we escaped so many warships of the Allies. I hope that I may never again witness such hair splitting escapes, and such infraluiman atrocities as was inflicted upon sailors of small barges. I wish I could tell you more about the voyage, but space will not permit. About fifty miles off the coast of Germany, others and myself were transferred to a small yacht and were carried to Berlin. I started toward my destination, traveling by rail to Budapest, and because I was an American, I was not seriously mistreated by any one. At Budapest I was arrested as a British spy, and was condemned to die at sunrise. Tin harsh and cruel deed would have been inflicted, had I not thought of my wonderful mission. They believed me when I told them what I was seeking, so my sweet life was allowed to remain with me. 1 was truly thankful that I was a student of Millersville, and, without jesting. I never had such a peculiar feeling of delight in all my life. From Budapest I got passage on a dredging machine which was about to start for Belgrade, and after eating turtle soup for many days, 1 was landed at the long looked for place. Because of the great fear and danger of having my life extinguished. I had to go by train to Constantinople, and from there I secured passage on a man-of-war. which was on its way to Piraeus, Greece. I was forced to travel over land from Piraeus to Delphi, and that trip was the oidy one that afforded me any real pleasure. I bought a donkey for five dollars, which once upon a time, many years previous, hud been a real animal. That donkey was possessed of greater and more penetrating characteristics of affection than I have ever seen displayed by the female sex. He loved me. and I have no reason to believe him insincere. I reached Delphi about the setting of the sun. and after feeding my donkey I looked around the town for awhile. For the first time I suddenly recalled the fact that the ancient oracle of Apollo was no longer in existence, but after making several inquiries I learned that it had been restored for a short time only. I made my way immediately to the place and I saw above the main entrance, “I'nlucky Days,” in very large letters. After making some research work. I was informed that no responses were given on days which were supposed to be unlucky. I was somewhat disappointed in this, because it meant a longer stay in Piraeus. One day while taking my donkey out for a walk. I was accosted by a man of peculiar 220 - appearance who told me that tin day for propounding mysteries was at hand. Straightway he led me to the oracle and what a sight confronted me! There sat the Pythia of old, the priestess on a tripod placed in the shrine over a subterranean chasm from which issued a cold vapor, the inspiring breath of Apollo. I was penned in on all sides by this deep fissure, or chasm in the rocks and I was so utterly bewildered and confused that I began to recite History of Ed. I soon had my motor force turned ofr bv one of the attendants who assured me. by a piercing jab in the ribs with a three pointed spear, that it was very poor courtesy to speak so worldly in such a consecrated place. I soon recovered myself and my attention was turned to the priestess, who after ceremonial purifications chewed leaves of sacred laurel and drank from the sacred water of Cossotis. She was soon thrown into a cataleptic trance by the stupefying vapors and then she uttered messages of the (iods. Now, dear readers, these murmurings were not propounded to me by priests, as they were to the Greek philosophers, but instead tlu modern kinetophone. the talking moving picture was employed; so the Future of my classmates, twenty years hence, was revealed to me in a most striking manner. Some I saw, others I heard about. The first picture that appeared was entitled. “The Cirl of Alaska, and I easily recognized the picture of Marion Sehuniackcr. Marion had secured tlu position in Alaska and had become a leading educational factor in that territorial district. The picture showed her teaching quite a number of Eskimo children in a schoolhousc constructed of ice. Marion did not always teach Eskimo children, for she was a very disinterested person, and it seemed that the whole population of Alaska were looking up to her as a means of bringing them to a standard of civilization unexcelled by any country on the globe. Marion deserves much praise for this great work because she sacrificed the opportunity of becoming the wife of the captain of the ship Scotland. She missed the chance of touring the world l v keeping the spirit of altruism in the foreground. I he next picture was not a picture of land and snow but it was a portion of Brazil, the home of .foe I.opes. Joe graduated at Cornell in the Engineering Course at the head of his ( lass. He lent his services to the completion of many wonderful constructive plans which were very beneficial and were great forces in assisting the title of the world’s progress. Shortly after graduation at Cornell “Joe visited Lebanon and there was bound in firm wedlock to Sarah Weaher. another member of our Class. Sarah made a very efficient companion and was a great source of inspiration to the inventive genius of her dear husband. While I was looking with concentrated attention and fond recollections of the school days at Millersvillc, the picture of “Joe faced me and with the _ 227___ T O same quality and distinctiveness in his tone, lie told me about the five little ones that had been added to the family. The interest with which he spoke of them and the accompanying smile displayed by $ arah, left the impression of a loving father and mother. Mae I). Lyons, early moved to Little Rock, Arkansas. There she established rest rooms for “The Tired and Weary.” Lo! a wanderer from Lancaster sought refuge there, but the promised rest was not realized. How could it be when Mae was around? In spite of her great desire to talk without saving anything. Louie says he does not regret that he wandered out to Arkansas. I learned that Maude Miller possessed a large studio in New York City and she became a great fortune teller and plies her trade divining the future of many who came to visit her. I know we all thought she would become a minister’s wife: but wonders never cease. After learning this astonishing information about Maude, I gazed upon the faces of many of my classmates who were trying to speak all at one time, beginning from the left 1 will tell you some of the things that they told me. Miriam Hackman became the Principal of the boston Conservatory of Music and to prove that her voice was pleasant to the ear. she sang some classical music of that age. I could not appreciate it. as my aesthetic sense was twenty years behind time. Helen Harnish did wonderful work as a suffragette, and though it seemed in 11)15 that Pennsylvania would soon give the woman the ballot, this abominable thing did not happen until Helen exercised her stirring sensationalism. She also became a lawyer—not merely a pettifogger but one of national repute, and she was at that time practising in the City of Lancaster. Ruth Haverstock attained her ambition and became principal of a kindergarten school. Ruth had a very thrilling and romantic life, and in all kinds of weather, whether hot or cold, she always complained about being “('hilly” and necessarily she always wore a Coat' (Chilcoat). I next saw a street scene, which I easily recognized as being in Harrisburg. On the right hand side of the street I saw an electric sign, which read “Leib's book Store I knew immediately that Charles Lcib was the proprietor, for in the window were a countless number of books, entitled “Margaret.” Charles did not teach very long, for he soon realized that he had great business abilities. 1 saw other volumes which attracted my attention, and upon close examination, I saw that they were volumes on “Society Manners, and were written by F. Madeleine Welehans. Madeleine’s great contribution to society had been disseminated all over the world, and it had gained for her international fame. I soon learned that Madeleine was not the only member of our Class who had won fame as a writer, for in another department of the bookstore, I came across “Hacrt- — 228 — ter s Primary Methods. Mary had become a predecessor of Madame Montcssori. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was as large as Webster’s New International Dictionary. As far as I was able to judge from my knowledge of primary methods, it was a wonderful product and it showed that Mary had overcome many of the great difficulties that had puzzled great educators for many centuries. We all ought to feel proud that we have a Montcssori or Pestalozzi among us. I saw in another [dace, a collection of poems by Maurice T. Braekbill. Maurice became a great poet and lie, like Byron possessed that air of mysterious gloom which functioned throughout all his works, and was the great agent in making his works so fascinating. This particular collection was dedicated to William Becker, who was Maurice’s chum at the Normal. I learned more about William, for the pages turned until number sixty-eight was reached. Maurice composed a poem on William, which was regarded as one of his best. It was this particular poem that I was permitted to read. William soon tired of teaching and now had become a great and noted scientific farmer. The poem gave me the impression that William was first induced to take up commercial and scientific farming while studying Cubberly’s Rural Sociology in the Science Building. I had my attention called to a number of magazines in another place and as I looked upon the table of contents of Review of Reviews, my eyes fell upon an article, entitled “America on Guard, ’ by Paul Revere Carl. Paul rose to great eminence after his graduation at West Point and at that time was a high official inthe I'nited States Army. Just as my attention was attracted to the Review of Reviews, in a like manner I was led to gaze upon an inside page of the Popular Educator, where I read the article, “The Wonderful Advancement in the Use of the English Language Since 11)15.” This article was written by E. Kathryn Millar, who was universally recognized ns the master of the mother tongue. Kathryn graduated from Gettysburg College and after studying abroad many years, returned to her native country and it was here that she became a great propagandist. While I stood deeply impressed with this wonderful success of my former classmates, I found myself in the presence of many others who were familiar in appearance. I suddenly began to get “fussed” because they were all girls, and they did not seem a bit more archaic than in former years: on the contrary. I had never seen them more appealing in all my life. I first recognized Anna Gobrecht. A smile radiated her whole countenance as though there had never been an unhappy moment in her life. Anna proved herself a woman in the truest sense. Her all powerful and penetrating sunshine was diffused all over the eastern part of the I'nited States, and it was a great force in elevating the slums of many large cities. Anna was alone in the world as far as man is concerned. — 220 — hut that condition was controlled by her own little self, since many masculine hearts had been broken because of unsuccessful attempts. I had no difficulty in recalling the likeness of another person to a picture represented, for the likeness did not change even though the name had. This was Nellie lleppenstall IIotFer. Nellie went to Smith the year after her graduation, and after supervising Fine Arts at Radcliffc for a few years, she became the wife of Irwin Hoffer. This was not an unexpected course of events in Nellie’s life, because such had been prophesied by many of her classmates. Bertha Lugan. another person whose smile had been preserved through out all the years, taught several years in a new school building in Mahanov City, but she soon wearied with the life of a pedagogue and decided that it was much nicer to become the wife of a noted engineer. Bertha had the right idea of life, but she was not the only one among those before me who ha«l become a femme convert and was enjoying life, for Mary . Wagner had followed her example. Mary supervised music in the public schools of Philadelphia until she discovered private teaching to be more interesting, so she settled down with “Walter.” I wondered as I gazed upon the face of this still fair lady, why sin did not teach grammar and become a successor to Miss Gilbert. I also had the pleasure of seeing Dorothea Stegemann among this number. Dorothea, with a very good “Rees-on established herself as one of the most prominent leaders of society and literary circles in Lancaster. Her gowns were the talk of the town. She evidently still possessed that ability of doing herself up in a neat looking bundle. I had a great difficulty in recognizing Alma Shirk, because she had changed somewhat in appearance during those twenty years, and because of the incessant cannaille. I could not detect any characteristics in her voice that was common to any member of our class. I finally concluded that it was Alma, by what I learned she had done after finishing the Normal Course. Alma established a quiet home for all wornout maiden teachers. She had received a Carnegie Medal for that great service, and I am sure that we will ail agree that she justly deserved it. The next occurrence deserving special mention was a baseball game, and I soon discovered that it was a league game, and was being played in Brooklyn. I saw a little man in citizen’s clothes, cheering one of the teams and giving orders as if he was the iiiau-of-the-hour. He was in the true sense of the word, for this gentleman was the manager of the Brooklyn Nationals. This distinguished person was no other than B. Miles Sheris. Mile •s became the “Mack” of Brooklyn, and also the husband of one of the members of the Sophomore Class. I was very much pleased that he had overcome that great failing which adhered so closely to his person; namely, “snapping. By a process of deductive reasoning, I was able to form a definite conclusion about — 230 — A - iuju 2 SSI 1 — I lie picture of a person which I could not at first enter into recognizance. This was a rather small person, a beautiful blonde, and having rather large and beautiful eyes. I remembered that Ruth Kilmer formerly possessed those trails of beauty, and naturally I concluded that it was she. Ruth taught fora number of years in the schools of Pennsylvania. but she finally concluded that she had much rather devote her services to tin interests of one, instead of to many. The lucky man was a graduate of State College. One of the attendant priests touched me on the arm and cried out “ Kccc Homo. I was not surprised that the picture of the person represented should excite so much attention for it was no other person than George R. Fisher, and (leorgc, as you all know, is an honorable man. George told me in a very lucid manner just what had happened to him. I know that every person will be pleased to know that he became a judge in the Supreme Court of the I nited States, and it was due to his great and enthusiastic work that courts of arbitration were established. The sinking of the Lusitania had a great effect upon the relationship between German and the United States, and this dispute was not settled until these courts of arbitration were established, so we can thank George for saving us from a great and destructive war. Honorable Fisher gave me a very interesting account of Clymer Burgard. It seemed that Clymer taught mycology for a number of years at State College, but not being satisfied with that particular vocation, he went West and in a very few years returned to his native land a rich man. I am not in a position to discuss the way in which this fortune was acquired, for nothing was said about it. I only know that he was known as a rich old bachelor and had a suburban home in the City of York. At once I found myself attending services at a Catholic church and seated at the organ was Sister Angela, whom I knew as Marie McPoland. Every member of the congregation had their heads inclined toward the organ in the attempt to perceive every sound that was transmitted. I can well remember how eagerly I listened to those harmonic strains. I have never heard anything quite so beautiful in all my life. It seemed almost beyond the power of a human being, but it was no apparition. 1 cast my eyes through the audience, and for some reason, which I could not at first tell, they fixed themselves upon one member in attendance. The more I looked, the more familiar this person seemed to be, but not until after the services did I completely see in a real and tangible form who it was. It was Nellie Sugrue. and she was accompanied by her husband the manager of Swifts, in Mahanoy City. This perspicacious person can be classed among the most fortunate members of our class because she married the man that was in her heart lor many years. Nellie was very happy and contented, and why shouldn't she be, when she could have ham three times a day, if she desired it. — 231 — - T O After leaving the church I gazed upon a street scene in the city of Steelton, and beheld there the home of Dorothy I louden. Dorothy became a great philanthropist by devoting her time to the elevation of the corrigible persons of her city. By doing this, the people were led to cooperate with her. and Steelton was shown as a city deserving of much admiration. I think we all expected Dorothy to perform services of this kind, because her faithfulness to duty always predominated. 1 know, if the other members of our class should spend their lives in such manner, surely we would do an immense good for our country. As soon as I saw Mac Kreidlcr, I thought about the way she did herself justice in primary methods. Mac was still a primary teacher and her great success was due in all probability to the instruction given by Miss Johnson. Mae. unlike most all other preachers’ daughters, was always a conscientious and disciplined person, and these sterling qualities were prevalent in all her work. Her admirers were not few in number, but of course, there had to be eliminations and so at this time only one featured largely in her mind. If you should visit in Shamokin at any time, it would be worth your while to call in the vicinity of 21 N. Diamond St. According to the information that was revealed to me by this very peculiar way. I am able to say that Esther (L Rogers shall reside there twenty years hence. Esther spent part of her life in a School of Elocution and became a great elocutionary artist, but as time drifted along she became interested in a different vocation; the cause of her change in life was due to a man. Esther was early married to a resident of Shamokin and they decided to reside at Esther's old home. I learned that Martha Ahcndsehoin became a great artist. She taught for several years in Columbia, but knowing full well that she could not accumulate wealth by so doing, she applied to the publishers of Life. After investigating her ability, the publishers decided not only to permit Martha to furnish part of the caricatures for their magazine, but instead to furnish all the work of that kind. “Life is what you make it and I assure you that Martha did more than any one else to make it interesting. It is a known fact that some of the things that are characteristic of childhood linger with us throughout our later life. 'This fact was especially illustrated in a scene representing a rural school in Lancaster County. A superintendent was visiting this school and at this particular time Jic sat in the rear of the room. I recognized the man to be Henry J. (■ raybill. another member of the Class of 15, and though he was there in a very distinguished capacity, the foolish pranks which adhered so closely to him in boyhood, suddenly overpowered his dignity and manhood. He was totally unable to restrain —m — himself, and very much contrary to the established ideas of a superintendent, he applied these characteristic pranks to the little ones silting about him and thus caused much commotion. Naturally one would be surprised at such an occurrence, but knowing Henry as I did. I understood. Henry married very much earlier than many expected and after having attained the position of Superintendent of the Schools of Lancaster County, he made his headquarters at Mechaniesburg. I was next confronted by the picture of a flourishing little town, t'pon nearer approach I saw a large sign above one of the doors of a very fine mansion. Soon I was able to read it. It read in this manner, “ Dr. Kdgar kehlcr. Superintendent of Schools.” Kdgar, alter his graduation, returned to his home town. Locust Dale, in Schuylkill County, where he began his teaching career. By persistent work he arose from a rural school teacher to superintendent of schools in that county. In the meantime Mr. Kohler leaves his office but not alone, for he has as his companion Mrs. Kehlcr. who is no other than Uuth Hershcy, whose hand Kdgar. after a great deal of persuasion, succeeded in obtaining. It nth had taught for eight years before she decided to become Mrs. Kehlcr for life. In a moment I beheld another town similiar to Locust Dale. I'pon close scrutiny, I at once noticed it to be a flourishing mining town. From one of the main buildings a figure issued whose step indicated that lie was a man of authority. I recognized it t be the figure of Daniel Rourke. Dan” devoted a number of years to teaching, until he could no longer resist the call of the mines to which he returned as assistant manager. There lie displayed the same executive ability as characterized him while president of the Students Senate at Millcrsvillc. He in a short time became general manager of the entire corporation which is a very flourishing and well known company. Then Grace Rettew, with the same smile which she wore while at school, faced me. Grace taught for a few years in the graded schools of Columbia. Sin- soon showed her ability as a leader ill school work and became principal of the Columbia High School. Grace then told me of the accomplishments of Bessie Reiver. Bessie taught two years in tin ward schools of York. She then became assistant principal of the York High School and later principal. She afterwords reached the prominent and responsible position of City Superintendent. Grace also had some valuable information concerning her friend. Hazel Wert man. Hazel, who was always fond of books, took charge of a small library in her home town. Jersey Shore. She gradually rose from that position until she obtained the position as state librarian at Harrisburg. While meditating upon the information given me by Miss Rettew. I was suddenly aroused by a picture ol the suburbs of London, where I gazed upon a beautifully con- — ii33 — structod mansion of colonial style ami architecture. The massive door swung open and outstepped Helen I). Herrick, the wife of an Episcopalian rector. She told me she had married the year after her graduation and that her life, since that time had been like a sweet dream such as the abstractionist dreams, when surrounded by nature’s choicest contributions impregnated with sweet smelling perfumes. She also told me that Margaret Mueller was visiting her at the time, but 1 did not have the privilege of seeing Margaret, for she was attending a conservatory of music. Margaret became a supervisor of music in the Lancaster Schools, and since she was possessed with that ardent desire of becoming a successful teacher, she decided to go abroad to study modern methods. I u a t w inkling of an eye I was brought face to face w it h a pict lire w liieh told its ow u story. It was the picture of a big phiv ground with romping children where nothing but sunshine intermingled. I saw- the neat looking schoolhoiise and at the door stood Laura Hixson, whose countenance was radiated with smiles ol deep felt sympathy and reverenced joy. Surely I knew where it was hut somehow I could not think. Suddenly, like a flash of lightning which illumines the horizon, a message was sent to the brain and interpreted there as “Souse Heslehem. Without asking for any information the figure of Laura turned to me and in that subdued tone of voice she began to tell me about some of her friends. Isabel Kauffman became a teacher of mat hematics at Columbia I diversity and was at the head of the department. Sin- had taught agriculture for a number of years, but after thinking about the way she used to shine in Senior arithmetic in room “II. she thought her accomplishments would he greater in the subject in which she was more interested and she had a fearful sensation that her brain would lose some of its reasoning power. Laura also mentioned the fuel that Anna Sliuuh had married a Lutheran minister, lieeause of the incessant pleadings of Anna, her husband was induced to go to Africa, where they could combine their services in doing missionary work. Anna, however, did the most of this work, as she seemed to he inspired spiritually for that kind of undertakings, and her robust health was a great and powerful agent in assisting her to perform valiant services. Her husband early became physically disabled to undergo severe hardships, and thus Anna was forced to keep the family. She performed this duty with a willing hand and a light heart. The figure of Laura vanished and in its place came the scene of a schoolroom filled with students. The teacher; l v her appearance, was evidently instructing them in Vergil. s they approached the place where Atieas unceremoniously deserted Dido, a loud of sorrow or disappointment, I could not tell which, came upon the brow of the instructor. The teacher looked familiar to me and putting my memory to the utmost — £$4 — —rr c Hsr one 4 test I decided it was my classmate, Anna Gross. “Dolly being (lisnpisiinU'd in oik of Iut classmates and failing to swim a | crniancnt residence at Wcrnersville, Berks County, decided to make teaching her life work. Following Anna from the classroom she was joined and accompanied by a person who seemed familiar to me. Remembering that Dolly’s former roommate had been Helen Good, I decided it was she. Helen, after teaching a few years became married to a wealthy man by the name of Spencer. Helen and “Dolly’’ had become so attached to each other during their school life that Helen compelled Anna to share with her the happy home formed by the marriage. I next saw the picture of a town situated upon the seashore. It gave to me the impression of a summer resort. I saw near the shore a large building with a red and w liitc pole on each side of the door and above it the sign, Herman Osman’s Bartering Kstab-lishment.1' Herman after teaching in Culm for a few years deluded that Atlantic City was the place for him. and the “Lily for which Herman became fond ot while at school shall cause the sun to shine in every corner of his home. Now I found myself hunting a brick, for there right before my very eyes stood Margaret Kohler. It was a suffragette meeting and Margaret, with her hair dishevelled and an old stiff straw hat on one side of her head, was running frantically up and down a platform shouting. “Votes for Women. This was Mom’’ and she was calling men all kinds of sensational names, in my very presence, and other women were waving flags and shouting, (iivc it to 'em.’’ Margaret introduced another speaker and to my great surprise it was Gertrude Schmoll. Now Fop’’ soon told them she was not going to make a suffragette speech. She luul become a world wide missionary and that was what she was going to talk about. Who ever heard of “Fop doing suffragette work? She told those women that she regarded them as a bunch of incompatible institutions, and she furthermore told them that such inconsistency could not exist between man and woman. After she got through speaking, many of them enlisted with her to go to India, but “Mom was too inconvertible. She did not forget to call on Ivsther Oswald, who also was in the audience. Baby had been married early after graduating and was now living on a big farm in Florida. She was more neutral upon the Women's Suffrage question and thus “Mom and Fop were soon forgiving each other for being so fixed in their ideas. “Baby told tin women about the orange groves and the alligators, and thus was esteemed a great speaker since her words had a great effect upon her audience. Some mouths watered while other women jumped upon the seats, holding their skirts close about them for fear the alligators were in close range. After the suffragette meeting, I had flic unspeakable pleasure of witnessing a Gym- — m — nasium Carnival and to my great delight, I recognized it as being in the “Gym” at Millersville. I he teacher was Ix is Bailsman, one of our day students. After the Carnival she told me she had specialized in that work, and after teaching with great success at different places, finally drifted4 aek to the old Normal. She seemed to realize that I was seeking all the information possible, so she told me that the donor of the “opal ring had prepared a cozy cottage, and the one great thing for which she had so long lived had actually become a reality. Ia is told me that Francis Hershey went west to teach and at that time was living on a ranch in Nevada. Ians looked inquiring for a moment and just as thought I had asked her, she began to tell me about some more of her friends. The first one mentioned was Esther Cully, and I was much displeased that I did not recognize her as one of the audience. She told me Esther had just left the “Gym. I know, dear classmates, that you will be glad to know that she became a supervisor in the fullest capacity, and was the assistant superintendent of the Model School. She praised Miriam I lawman very highly and said the great success of the Carnival was due to Miriam's assistance. Madame I lawman was now a great dancing teacher and tin dancing features of the Carnival were originated by this wonderful dancer. She did not forget to mention May Harvey, who was still teaching in a little red school house in the lower part of Lancaster County. May. as you all know, was a | erson who could not be measured by the “how’ much, but what she did do was perteeted. Lois did not seem at all pleased with Esther Brenner, lor Esther did not leach as long as was exjiected of her. The fact of the matter is. she taught only, Till” the wedding bells rang. Her efficiency in manual training was however a great benefit to her, since she has to sew for her own little urchins. Lois, thinking that I was satisfied, left the scene. The next picture displayed the “City of Brotherly Love. 1 pon nearer approach I saw a large assembly of people gathered before an elevated platform upon which scientific apparatus was being displayed. The demonstration was curried on bv a woman w ho showed by the way she handled the apparatus, possessed great muscular power. She was assisted by a man, w hose upper lip bore a decoration of which he seemed to be very proud. I recognized the woman to be Gertrude Ganly Miller and the man to be Gertrude's devoted husband. Boss Miller. Both Gertrude and Boss after their graduation taught school for two years. Then they took a scientific course at Cornell, after which they became bound in firm‘wedlock, and by their combined efforts made discoveries which startled the world. My attention was then drawn from the action of the two scientists to the inside of a large tent where people were performing different feats. Two of the clowns, who caused — 236 — I he most amusement seemed very familiar to me. As they came nearer I recognized them to be two of my former classmates, Harry Haughy and Ralph Hostetter. Ilarrv and Ralph both devoted a few years to the teaching profession. In the meantime Harry’s heart been in every much stronger because of his love for gymnastic exercises and long walks. Harry and Ralph, who always caused a great deal of amusement for their classmates at school, decided teaching was not their profession and joined a traveling show. They soon became owners of the show and its name has changed from “ Rarnum and Ibiiley” to Baughey and Hostetler's Show,” which was universally known as the greatest show on earth.” While meditating upon the accomplishments of Ralph and Harry, I was suddenly awakened from my stupor by the appearance of a face from which happiness radiated in all directions. It was the face of Dora Johnson that beamed forth with such radiancy of splendor. Dora after teaching a few years in Newtown, Rucks County, decided she would rather not teach school, but decided to help Amos. As a result of this decision she became married to Amos Kirk, who is now enjoying her valuable services. Amos also claims that if all the belles of Paris and all the princesses of Kngland were placed before him, he would, without hesitation, select Dora as his life companion. The noise and tumult of the show was displaced by a very different scene. It revealed the picture of a flourishing little town, which I immediately knew to be Selbyville. Delaware. Cpon closer scrutiny I saw a large mansion with tin sign “ Hon. (’has. Carey” above the door. Soon a lady came birth leading a small child in each hand and followed bv four older children. They evidently were going out for their morning walk. I at once knew the lady was Sadie Greiner. Sadie, after teaching a few years, was compelled to follow her heart's desire and became the wife of (’has. ( arev. Sadie had told me while at school that she was engaged to Mr. Carey and so her appearance as the mother of several children was not a surprise to me. If you happen in New York twenty years hence, you should visit the Metropolitan Theatre, for on the right hand side, as you ascend the first balcony shall hang the pictures of two of our classmates. The first picture is that of Madame Haiti, who formerly was Edna R. Hippie. She had become a wonderful soprano soloist and excelled especially in the rendition of Lenore in IP Trovatore. Kdna had early married John L. Haiti, another member of our class, but after a number of years of disagreement, due to different interpretation of life, they became divorced. John became a great scientist and is now honored all over the world by men of great repute. His picture shall hang in the Halls of Fame and it is believed he shall have the honor of being interred in Westminster Abbey. — 237 — T O The other picture is that of Naomi Pries. ‘‘Nona” first became a soloist and prima donna. After having a successful career upon the stage she had tired ol a theatrical and romantic life and had settled down with “YVhitcy” and had adopted the name of Mull. I think “Nona ” was entirely .satisfied with the change. Suddenly, without any realization on my part. 1 beheld a rather corpulent lady seated high in a circus carriage, presumedly on her way to the circus grounds. This was no other person than Ethel McCord, who had become the wife of one of the largest circus owners in the country. The next scene revealed to me. was that of a large brick building which looked like a high school building. Near by stood a line dwelling house. On looking through one of the windows of the house, I saw the form of a woman which I at once knew to be the figure of Maggie Buell. Maggie taught for a few years after graduating from Millersville and then became the wife of Henry ). lleisey. who had secured the position of principal in the High School shown in the picture. Maggie is universally known as one of the best housekeepers in the country and Mr. lleisey seems proud of her ability. Ethel Bleichert and Helen Rothcrmal shall live in Lebanon, and each is mistress of a beautiful suburban home. Both taught the same number of years and both thought it was “Punk,” so you know what happened. Ethel always had a great desire to teach manual training, but she thought twice and put it into practical use in a home of her own with “? ? and Helen not wishing to be backward soon followed suit. Helen early devoted her time to her “Doll.” The next picture revealed to me a very familiar place. It was that of the Millersville Normal School. As tin chapel was a place of assemblage, I was permitted to take one long glance within. It was filled with students and there issued forth such a frain of harmonic music that had the power to thrill the heart of a grindstone ami cause mountains to sway in harmony with its strains. It seemed impossible for the hand of man to produce such music. It was softer and more thrilling than the music produced by the angels upon their harps. At the piano sat a lithe figure which I knew was Bose Hill. Rose, after leaving school taught for a few years, then went to a conservatory of music. There she became a master hand and her soul being so engrossed upon the welfare of Millersville returned and became superintendent of the musical department. From the soothing and tremulous refrains ol music I was transferred into the very center of a very large and overcrowded city. I knew at once it was the city of New York. I saw upon one of the main streets a small baud of men and women who were singing hymns of praise to the divine Sovereign of the universe and were collecting money to help — 238 — I lie poor and needy. I wo of the ladies, who seemed to he the leaders. I recognized as my former classmates. Bessie llamme and Mary Lintncr. Bessie had consecrated the former pari of her illustrious and profitable life to teaching school, hut being moved by the conditions of the poorer class of people in the large cities, decided to join the Salvation Army. While engaged in this work. Bessie became acquainted with her former classmate. Mary, who after graduation had married a minister and was also interested in the work of the salvation army. Bessie and Mary worked hand in hand and accomplished great things. They were known all over the country for their kind, sympathetic nature. How can I help it.-' The next picture was designated “The Three Adiposities.” I he cast of characters were; Ethel Shelly. Lena Wenger, and Margaret Kern. These are the big ones of our class I didn’t say in size but rather in accomplishments. Ethel became a trained nurse and was the predecessor of Florence Nightingale. She early tired of teaching and spent several years at Hanncman Hospital. Philadelphia. During this time there arose a great conflict between the western part of our country and British Columbia, which resulted in the death of many people. Ethel enlisted as a worker and was a great power in saving the lives of wounded soldiers. Lena Wenger, better known as “Willie, taught a few years then followed her friend. Sarah Weaber I pes into South America. There she spent three years in studying the Spanish language. She soon mastered the language to perfection and then followed one of the greatest political campaigns known in the history of South America. Lena went from the swampy lowlands of the Amazon to the rocky highlands of the Antics, where the mighty condor encircles the mountain tops in search of its prev. ami from the northern tropical lands of dense vegetation to the barren and ice-covered lands of the Antarctic, proclaiming, with a voice filled with such eloquence and magnetic power, as to put the speech of Mark Antony in the background, the rights of women. Margaret Kern became to America what the Paris creators of fashions were to France. She is famed for many of her creations and is now conducting a dress saloon in a downtown section of San Francisco, and is well known as a Modiste (Frank). A very different picture then appeared before me. It was the picture of a foot ball field and the send s were lined up against the varsity for practice. Each of the varsity bore the letters W. II. S. At first I was puzzled but w hen I saw a figure rushing backward and forward over the field giving instructions and urging on the players, a thought flashed into my mind. I derailed then and there it was the Wernersville High School team with no other than my old friend and classmate. Michael Kintzer sis coach. Michael after leaving school taught one year in the rural schools of Berks County, and then he 239— 4 T O became married to the girl whom I often heard Mike talk about in his sleep. When I learned of his marriage I was somewhat surprised, as Michael seemed rather timid and bashful on the Millersville campus. The following year he was elected coach at his home high school, lie always thought he knew a lot about athletics and while in this position he put his knowledge into full play. Leaving the football field with its enthusiastic players, a strange city surrounded with tropical forests was brought before me. People were in a state of excitement and the houses were gaily decorated. On nearer approach 1 saw a large platform, which was gaily decorated, erected in the center of the town. Soon there appeared before the people a man whom I at once recognized as Richard Plaza. Plaza returning to his home country, Ecuador, taught for a few years and pursuing his work with great energy, soon rose from a school teacher to president and now was delivering his inaugural address. I know you are all anxious to learn what became of that loquacious, infinitesimal being, (.'undine Riggin. She early married an eminent physician whom we used to know as “Marry.” I never learned where they were living, but all the same Harry secured a good practice and Caroline by her affluency of speech makes a very good doctor's wife. Suddenly I became aware of an over-secretion of the salivary glands as I gazed upon a land filled with orange groves and other tropical trees. From their midst there arose a magnificent building surrounded by a level tract of land upon which were green trees of a brilliant foilage. Upon one corner of the campus stood a gymnasium of the modern type while on the other corner stood a recently erected library of Gothic architecture. Under the large trees both sexes freely intermingled while others isolated themselves in groups of two and talked about the lessons of the following day. 'I'his was an institution of learning and as the scene became more vivid I learned that it was a normal school. Taking a hurried glance through the window 1 saw Russel Smith sitting at a desk severely reprimanding a disobedient pupil. Russel, after finishing his illustrious career at Millersville. taught in his home town for two years. lie then went to Columbia University, from which he graduated with high honors. Russel went to California whereafter teaching Mathematics for a few years in a Normal School, became principal. He soon married and was then the father of four children. The orange groves soon faded and I became aware of a landscape with which I was familiar. It was the city of Lancaster, which, as it became more strongly outlined against the sky, exhibited a fine mansion where the Hotel New Brunswick is now located. Above the door was the sign “Dr. Lehman.” From the door a man and woman came forth and got into an automobile. 1 recognized them at once, the man being Chester — 2J,0 — Lehman while the woman was his wife. Elizabeth Greider. Roth Elizabeth ami ( heater taught school for a few years. Then f hester went to the I niversitv of Pennsvlvania from which he received his doctor's decree. lie established his office in Lancaster and in one year became married to Elizabeth. I beheld with contemptuous pity as if under a kind of hallucination, when I pi zed upon the front campus and dormitory of Millersville State Normal School, for Bcnlali Nicodemus was standing on the right hand side of the girls’ entrance in the capacity of a preceptress and was reprimanding girls very severely because they had allowed certain fellows to monopolize their time. Can yon imagine such a state of affairs? I was never more astonished during the whole performance. My pity for the girls reprimanded by Beulah was turned into deep sympathy as I looked upon a farm located near a small stream and saw the figure of Josephine Hoover walking between the house and the barn with a milk pail upon each arm. Josephine taught school for a few years, but she soon became tired of the trials and tribulations of a school mistress and resigned her position for another and much better one. She is now the mistress of Sunny Brook Farm. Margaret Powell arose to the height of her glorious opportunities and became intimately and affectionately connected with a certain “Charles after teaching for two years. Margaret told me that they had a department store in Philadelphia and were immensely interested in the sale of Pfeiffer's shredded wheat biscuits. The next view was that of a large school building which proved to be a kindergarten. I saw on the playground a lady encircled by a great number of children. The lady was Grace Hendricks, another of our class. She was industriously working with the little children who were sent there to be cared for by her. Grace had taught for a few years in the rural schools and finally secured a position as principal of a kindergarten near her home and at this time made her “Winters more pleasant by bringing up children in the way they should go. It is an historical fact that old institutions will die and new ones will spring up in their stead and it is predicted that tin same changes will continue until tin end of time. The All Wise, Rich, W ilde institutions of learning for girls in Chicago. Illinois, became one of the latest and most famous institution of its kind in the world. At its head were three members of the class of 11)15. Kathlveen Wise, Anna Rich, and Jean Wilde, who by their hearty cooperation accomplished great things and did much to make the school what it was. It was feared at that time that tin school w'ould hmse one of its ablest teachers, as it was rumored that Jean Wilde was thinking of resigning her position to accompany a traveling accountant on his journeys. — 241 — Wliilr at school. Isabella Kndslow was frequently heard sinking, “A Farmer’s Wife I II He.’ Isabella was more fortunate than some of her classmates, as she soon gave up teaching and took upon a farmer (Clayton Farmer) and was then living a life of happiness. As the scenes changed there flashed before my eyes a picture of a vast assemblage of women. They were before a platform gaily decorated and on each side of it was raised a large banner on bot It sides of w hich. in large black letters, w as printed Votes for Women. A lady was speaking to them whom I recognized at once as Jennie Messerly. Jennie with an eloquent and profound voice was proclaiming the rights of women. Sin soon retired and a lady, who by her manner showed that she was a woman of great mental and vocal power, took her place. Then followed such an address as has never been equaled since the day of Socrates. The speaker was Fannie Murphy. Fat and Jennie have been great factors in securing the right of women to vote. Ruth Fasnaeht, who hails from Harrisburg, taught for a few years and then decided to take upon herself the responsibility of earing for a number of hearts (Hart .) and became the wife of Robert Hart . I suppose all are anxious to know the future of our energetic and industrious student, Sallie Stober. Sailie became principal of a Normal School in Washington. She is the first lady in the history of the Normal School who climbed the ladder « f educational renown and became a principal. Sallie bad Mildred Shradly as a member of her faculty, w ho was at the head of the Latin department and she assisted the boys in interpreting the Orations of Cicero and in following the wanderings of the great Trojan hero, Aeneas. As mathematical instructor, she secured the valuable services of Mary inn, who was considered one of the greatest mathematicians of the modern age. Miss Witmcr. after a great deal of insisting, consented to take charge of the Knglish department. I nder the persistent work of these four members ol the class of 1015. the Normal School in which (hey were rendering their valuable services was considered one of the most advanced schools of its kind. Anna Houch. when she left Millersville, intended studying music, but later took a course in domestic science at State College. After finishing she became the wife of Leroy Umbergcr. She said that she would not exchange places with the greatest musician in the world. A different scene appeared before me. It was a vast plain in the center of which was erected great cattle sheds and corrals. To the right of the buildings, the plain as far as the eye could reach, was covered with cattle and several men were riding to and fro. From all appearances it was a yearly round-up of the cattle. Among them I saw a man on a well trained horse. I could not immediately recognize the man on account of the large forest which grew upon his face. As he approached me I saw that it was my old W - classmate. Sylvester It. Fry. Sylvester then spoke to me. telling me of his many and wide experiences. He had taught for a few years and then became married to Barbara Sluipp. After a short honeymoon they started for the west, where Fry became a prominent rancher. Sylvester also told me it was much easier to ride a Texas pony than a German “pony, as the former’s trot was much smoother. As the face of Fry faded into a film of thin air. I was brought before the quaint but radiant countenance of Fhebe Ritchey. 1‘hebe told me she was still in the teaching profession, as was her former classmate. Minerva Gulden. Their attainments can not be estimated. I he last scene came upon tin screen very slowly. It was that of a large building in which there was a gathering of men of nil ages. Suddenly a death-like stillness came over them as a tall, stately man in full dress came forth upon the rostrum. There then burst from that mass of human mortals such a noise of applause as was never heard by human ear. Hats were flung into the air and the scene presented that of a mass of writhing snakes. After a period of fifteen minutes the police were able to restore order and the man from the rostrum, in a clear and concise voice, told the audience he was prepared to explain to them some of his medical discoveries. I knew the speaker as soon as he uttered his first sentence. It was no other than my illustrious classmate. Ralph R. Smith. Ralph, after leaving school, became principal of his home high school. He taught there for three years and then went to the University of Pennsylvania from which he graduated with high honors. He then spent fifteen years of experimental work in a private laboratory. By means of a certain drug which he had discovered he was able to prolong life indefinitely. He also had composed another compound which, by means of a tablet, carried in the pocket would furnish the body with as much nutrition as a good hearty meal of Frankfurters and Sauerkrout. In a moment I was enveloped in complete darkness and groping blindly about. I soon found my way out into the outer air. glad to leave the stifling atmosphere of the fissure, but well informed as to the illustrious careers marked out by the individual members of the Class of 1913. during a period of twenty years.

Dreaming dreams of quite forgotten scenes of long before; While I dreamily was napping, suddenly there came a topping. As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Only this and nothing more. Yes, distinctly I remember, it was in the glad September. And the nightly song of cricket rang out clear upon the air; Hut the owl and nighthird lingered just outside my cottage window. To steal away the stillness, and to lend a melancholy tune as oft before; So I turned upon my pillow, for I thought it might be this Only this and nothing more. And again I took to dreaming, and the scenes of yore came streaming One by one before my drooping eyes, as if my past life to explore; When again there came that tapping which awoke me from my napping, just before; Half asleep, and yet still dreaming, I saw the moonlight beaming All else was darkness, nothing more. Stealthily I sought the window, flung the lattice open wider. Gazed and peered through moonlight shining on the trees ami ivy twining; Then betook myself to finding what the tapping could be minding, So I then unbolt the door. Suddenly upon my shoulder, and my blood grew slightly colder. Flew a raven through the door Perched and sat and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my seared fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance he wore; But my heart was wildly beating, quickly said I without greeting What consolation have you from the dim benighted shore. Or what revelation bear you—good or evil—prophet tell me! Quoth the raven. “Nevermore.” While I stood intently listening, and his eye in moonbeams glistening Seemed to stare an answer which I could not read nor pore. Alas, the ivy threshold vanished, and my passing dreams were banished. For we rose from out the door. “(Jhostly raven o’er me bending sable spirit whither wending?

But more and more perplexed I wandered, not the least with weight of bird encumbered Yet this melancholy burden, perched upon my shoulder, bore; And I could not delve by thinking, what this solitary bird of yore Meant in croaking. “Nevermore. On and on through stillness dreary, far away through moonlight bleary. Hearing naught save my entreaties, and the mournful croak just as before. But by and by at last, still peering, I. a distant mound seemed nearing. And a proud scholastic structure seemed to rise, yet dark and gloom was brooding o’er. Suddenly to my beholding loomed a school -A school I once attended long before Quoth the raven, Nevermore. — — I was quickly le l and guided, and bird and bearer swiftly glided Through the shadowy winding pathways, with trees and shrubbery hanging o’er.

After a little study in the early morning, before the sun is quite clear of the crimson haze in the east, when we hastily peruse over some of our several branches, to brush up memory, and give the thoughts a second nailing to the brain, we enter upon our class duties as penitent, listful. patient, attentive students. Touring through the Occident and Orient we resurrect the old methods of teaching the three r’s and some more r’s buried deep beneath the covers of the textbook. We bring them back to present day principles and their values are computed or refuted according to the scale of ten. We then assume the teacher’s role. Accordingly, we step into our pedagogical shoes, awkwardly don the mien and character of dignity, and set about to execute our judgments as lord and master upon the heads of sixteen, more or less, tricky, frivolous, and rebellious youngsters. Again we undergo a change or sudden transformation, as does the sleek chamelion, and are turned once again into peaceful, gentle, earnest, and submissive scholars. And now the class room calls our minds to laws and theories of the physical world, and abstract things among the commonplace of every day life, which reveal wonders and grandeurs in a marvelous world of bewilderment. Hark! the bell is tolling out the death knell of the hour. Gym. today. Collars and ties, shirts and shoes take sudden gyrations in all directions. With a dash and a bound we are off to physical culture. Basketball today, hurrah! Choose up sides, shoot the goals, pummel our bones, skin our shins, sprain our wrists or almost crack our heads.

Away to the book room or athletic field where plunged into books, accounts, and purchases, figures, and merchandise, or neck to neck in rival exercise, our heads go swimming; and by and by when the shadowy curtains of night are closer drawn around the departing day, we always wondered, and are still wondering how we covered the ground, and did not fly to pieces somewhere in our hasty flights and sore encounters. But finally, peaceful quiet study cools our feverish brows, and lubricates our fagged out minds for a similar trip on the morrow; while the blessed sleep which shortly follows brings upon us a gracious and kind forgetfulness of all. Many people want to rise. And look for pearls and rubies in the skies; But for the prods and trips they often meet They’d never see the jewels at their feet.

The crowning point of our career; And glad our hearts of what we've won, And proud of all we've triumphed here. We've wandered oft through this domain, And learned to love this old place too; Together, wrought what we attained. And gained the struggle e'er we knew. And soon, too soon, these years have lied.

But whatever fortune in time we relate. I trust we'll have followed the rule: To laugh at our luck, to laugh at our fate, .Just as we did in school. And when old, gray-haired, and wrinkled we bow. And life’s great past review. The scenes or today, and of days past now Will come to our memories anew Will sweeten, refreshen, and make us smile At our school life's merry shout; When we've learned that the duties of life all the while Were just lessons with marks left out.

The jolly hunch, after a long discussion, decided to have a “real feed” on the first Saturday in March. Bach girl had a box sent from home, with good things, for the occasion. The long awaited day finally arrived. It was a busy one for the girls. “Ann” and “Roomie” did the marketing in the village, w Idle “ Kay” and “ Rufus went to Lancaster for things which could not he found in the village. “Ray” and “Allie” were chief decorators. Their good taste was displayed throughout the room. The table especially received much consideration. The color scheme was orange and black, showing their school spirit. In the center of the table was a large bunch of black-eyed Susans. Radiating from this to each one’s place were black and gold ribbons, to which were attached the place-cards. These again brought out the idea, by having a small Millersville pennant across the corner. From the chandelier, to each corner of the table, streamers were fastened. Although the decorators were very much complimented, the cooks, “Jakie” and “Goby,” were given the honor due them for their good cooking, and the manner in which it was served. The chicken was the center of attraction, garnished with parsley, and steaming with hot gravy. Next in importance were the mashed potatoes, covered with brown butter. The peas were hot slighted in the least. Olives, pickles, and potato-chips had their place on the table. Of course. Kay decided that the “feed would not be complete without grape-juice, and fruit-salad, so we had both. While these things w'ere being enjoyed heavy hearts were turned toward the serving-table, where three large cakes met their view, and they also knew that the ice-cream was yet to come. There was much fun and laughter throughout the meal. “Rufus’s” sister, who was our honored guest, was elected toast-mistress. After the meal everyone (?) wanted to wash the dishes. It was finally decided that four of the girls wash them, while the others return them to the teachers, who were so very kind as to lend them to us. We then got ready to go to the Y. W. A. play, w hich was held in the chapel, all feeling that our work was quite a success. — 271 — Dictionary of JOfnasie anb Jfable I'. rri rY -An organization which has for its special duty the terrible affliction of guiding the students (horrible creatures) in the straight and narrow path.

Sufficient Cocoanut One of the many trials in a Senior girl’s life this year was the making of their graduation dresses. One of these amateur dressmakers was very much worried at the progress of hers, so she thought she would lessen her trial by bribing another girl, who was very fond of eocoanut, to help her. On this eventful day she took her helpmate up to Mertz-ler’s Store and purchased the largest eoeoanut possible. During study period that evening the eoeoanut was cracked under much difficulty and then such a time. Each ate and ate until the eoeoanut was “all” and still there was some left. They made some noise in the contest, one trying to eat more than the other, and finally the Mall Teacher made her appearance. She was inclined to be angry, as the visitor had not asked permission, but her anger was appeased by a large slice of the delicious eoeoanut. So you see what a eoeoanut can do—conquer the wrath even of a hall teacher. After she left the room the girls continued the feed and then went to bed. The next morning they met one another and their minds seemed to run in the same channel because they exclaimed together “No more eoeoanut for mine.” One of them said she was very tired as she dreamed she was travelling through a eoeoanut grove and monkeys threw nuts at her from all directions. If your curiosity is aroused it may be satisfied by passing a eocoanut to the following and note who of them would accept it -Margaret Powell,Helen Good, Gertrude Ganly, Kathryn Millar. Vnna Gross and Beulah Nicodcinus. m “Gfjirt $flll JBunclj, '15” This girl has the honor of being a flirt. But she has some spirit and is full of mirth. She stands at her door to fix up her curls.

She studies piite hard and the teacher she fears, But she can be teased about an “overcoat ” story, Which makes Buclah smile as though in her glory. Goodie and Gross seem very quiet. The reason for this I'll try to guess right. Helen stays in her room to read Spencer’s letter. And Anna thinks of her Herman and tries to do better. Margaret gets out on the hall after bells. Although she don’t make it sound with her yells. But she gabbles so much and fixes her hair. Into those little curls C'lymcr once thought so rare.

A hunch of Senior girls and a wee lone freshman who had been entrusted to their care decided it would he a lark to have a watermelon party in honor of themselves during study period. The Seniors promised to furnish the amusement, if the Freshman would provide the “eats.” Being home over the week-end. she returned with a melon of huge size. That evening promptly at nine oYloek. all assembled to partake of the feed. After the melon was cut and all were served, the Freshman seized a huge slice and took possession of the best rocking chair in the room thinking to spend the rest of the evening in peace. But. to her surprise, she was tl e chief and only character on the program. Songs, gymnastic stunts and jokes were compelled to be given upon request. Before the program was completed the hall teacher appearing upon the scene sent all except the one on the rocking chair flying to places of safety. Surprised at the remains in the room and wondering what prodigy had arrived who could do away with so great a quantity, she left the room without a remark. Die.

Y. ’. A. Social Committee decided to give a Baby-Party, for the girls in the’ Gymnasium. When, at seven o’clock the committee reached the Gymnasium to get a few things ready, to their astonishment a party of young people were already there. On nearing the group, you can imagine their amazement to recognize quite a number of the members of our faculty. They had entered into the spirit of the party and had come, dressed in the garments of their youth. I he nurse. Miss I unean, had quite a time earing for all her children. There was Little Boy Blue, Miss Curry, Bad Willie, Miss Crowell, and the four little girls. Miss Ghcrst. Miss ('onard. Miss Ganser. and Miss Clark. The father of this family was Mrs. Light. As the other children arrived they were each presented with a lollypop. To our surprise each little girl brought her sweetheart. They all looked very nice. The great variety of costumes was a very pleasing sight. There were babies from the country, there were babies from the city; some were rich and some were poor; even the Gold-dust Twins were there. Yet it would be hard to hud anywhere a more congenial crowd. Just as the children were beginning to feel at home. Little Willie became very naughty, and as a result received tin benefit of the nurse’s slipper. All the other children were very much amused, and felt greatly relieved that their nurses were not with them. The good time began with a short program by a number of the children. Some of the numbers on the program were. Jack and Jill; Fishey. Fishey in the Brook; Hickory, Hickory Dock; I Don’t Want to Play in Your Yard; and a selection by the Gold-dust Twins. Of course a few of the children had to be prompted, but considering their age. they did remarkably well. Some of them even had gestures w hich were very effective. After the program all the children joined in a Grand March. This seemed to delight everyone, and they did not tire of it for some length of time. It was quite natural that games should be next in order. The children were given the privilege to choose what games they wanted to play. From all parts of the room came the cry, “Farmer in the Dell. Some of the other games were. Bean-bag. King around a Rosy, Little Sally Ann and Spin the Pan. During the playing of the games, lots of excitement was caused by the arrival of the “odd” family. The baby, too young to walk, was brought in its automobile. Quite — 284 — contented, it was fast asleep, hut il did not remain so very long. The automobile afforded much amusement to the rest of the children during the evening. One of the children now suggested that we sing popular songs. I his was very heartIv agreed to by everyone, bike good little children, they all sat on the floor, in a group, waiting for the strains of the music. By the way they sang we all knew that the party was a success. As it was nearing nine o'clock, the children began to feel that it was time to go home. Each little boy took h is little girl, and wishing all the others good-uight, went home to dream of the good time they had. Mu. Osman (in ergil) ‘And kisses himself” (Anehises himself).

We bid farewell to Millersville, And on our way we wend; And though more troubles now begin. We know some troubles end. Success—what is it? The question is asked over and over again ! y the many who are endeavoring to ascend the ladder of success. First of all we cannot “dream of success and happy victory” and have it he our lot: it must he attained hy the hardest kind of work. Success will not he theirs who rest on “flowery hods of ease.” Webster defines success as being a favorable and prosperous termination of anything attempted. Success in life is not measured altogether hy victories. Failures, if they are properly understood and appreciated, are frequently sources ol life's ultimate success. Failures oftentimes are more of an impetus to work than the immediate gaining of the thing sought for. To some people, success and popularity arc synonymous. They think in order to he successful, one's name must he written on a gold bulletin hoard in diamond letters. No man can go through life without at times failing in things he starts out to accomplish: It has well been said that success consists not in never failing, hut in the ability to rise after the fall with better and newer hopes. The man stamped with the mark of success upon him is the one who has not allowed failure to discourage him. hut who has risen from each failure with the determination of studying the cause iu order to avoid any future failure. The history of successful men in every walk of life has many a chapter of failures. Difficulties oftentimes prove to l e our best and only masters. Difficulties are not pleasant, hut they bring about a good which no man knows, if it is not in anything only that you feel they have, if you have overcome them, added a great deal to your spirit of the realization that they are the stepping stones to success. Failures serve to discipline the character. They test the value in us. and make for the worth of life; they give the sterling ring to the character. The mer sighing after the ability to do the great things done by others never goes beyond the difficulty that arises at the very suggestion of the sigh, for: “He. who fixing eyes of hope upon the sun. And never steering, while swift waves run Him turning as they list, can reach no goal. Success is in the wish when with it there is energy and determination. Fvery temptation to discouragement conceals a victory which may he won hy fidelity to the aim and purpose which lie before us. The conquest of difficulty brings to us the pure gold of success. A. Marie McPoland. 's ; KiMjat is ILtfc ? This question I asked of a little child W ho with others to play had begun; And he turned his innocent face to me And said, Life to me is fun. I then asked a maiden, smiling and fair. Whom I chanced in a garden to meet. “Tray tell me the secret to life’s definition,” Anti she answered. “.Life is sweet.” I turned to a youth, who walked by the side Of his sweetheart in twilight’s cove. And inquired of him, his meaning of life “Ah, lift to me is love.’’ I slipped to the side of a mother, who watched O'er her babe in its innocent beauty. And softly inquired of her. “What is life? And she said to me, “Life is duty. Then I turned to the father, who looked with pride On his darling child and wife. With this question, and answered he “Home, to me that is life.” So whatever our ot. whatever of choice. It matters not which way you take it. There is but one answer “Be life what it may.

The camping party in this story consisted of one of the students fleeing from justice, the justice in question being the hall teacher. A place of concealment was found in a neighboring closet and a camp stool was offered to rest on. All would have gone as merry as a wedding bell had not the fugitive persisted in trying on various hats found within the place of refuge. The peculiar fashion in which these hats were worn caused such laughter from the rightful owners of the room that they did not wear the required mournful and doleful expression when the hall teacher entered. Such was the feeling of good will toward the fugitive that they accepted with as good grace as possible the teacher’s gentle admonitions. About half an hour later, there emerged from the closet a rather crestfallen, downhearted looking girl, who quietly crept to her own room and vowed to remain there the rest of the evening.

J Bell Phone, Iris Club 403-W. 297 — Cfjr triple lllliaitre It was a bright September day, when school opened at the Millcrsville Normal School. Some students were roaming idly over tho campus, others were sitting on the benches under the trees. Suddenly, their attention was directed to three particularly striking young men, who had just come from Lancaster on the .‘1 o’clock car. Every one was curious to know who they were and our curiosity was soon satisfied. We shall acquaint you with them as soon as possible. The tall light-haired man with the beautiful complexion was a distinguished young Turk sent over by the Turkish government to study the American School System. The copper colored, high cheeked man with straight black hair and small piercing eyes was none other than a brilliant young Cherokee Indian. 'I'he third young man was the shortest of the three, lie also had straight black hair, a very dark skin and beautiful brown eyes, displaying his Arabian origin. 'Phis young man had a very musical name, “Caree,” which was soon on the lips of one of the fair girls. Shortly after their arrival the other two met two most charming young ladies. One sunshiny Sunday afternoon, this sextet felt the call of nature’s work ami proceeded to enjoy the beauties to be seen along the Conestoga. They were so engrossed with tin “beauties” of nature about them that everything was lost in oblivion. Honk . . . .! honk . . . . ! suddenly they became aware that an auto was almost upon them. One of the young ladies lost her senses and started to run in front of the auto; but w as snatched away by the young man at her side, just in time to be saved from being run over. They decided they had better not go any farther, so they retraced their steps homeward. Since they have been contented to confine their walks to the campus, where they may enjoy each other’s company without the interference of iron monsters.

In due time the girls in elaborate “evening gowns” and with flowing tresses and their escorts in Japanese dress, arrived. Thev impatiently awaited the arrival of the orchestra which was under the direction of our noted musician. Gertrude Ganly. The instrument used was a jews harp, the much valued possession of Ruth Hershey. The participants of the dance were M. Macrtter and A. Gobrccht, 15. Hippie and Sugrue. R. Kilmer and A. Houck. H.

The borders of the dancing floor were artistically decorated with graceful palms (Herrick, Mueller, Wert man and Xicodemus) and with clusters of tinted wall flowers (Shaub. Millar. Gross, and Wise).

During the entire evening the fire escape was frequented by couples who were enrapped by the beauty of the moon.

I am so tired.” “Dear,”- speaking tooneof the Senior girls, “wouldn’t you please take hull duty for me to-night? “Thank you so much, dear.” And the tired hall-teacher strode off to her room to dream of the delightful ramble thru the woods, from which she had just returned. This way the regular study period opens about twice a week. The Senior girls entrusted with this duty, forthwith, decided that study would he impossible and hence they settled down to a nice pleasant evening of saying “yes” to the many permissions asked. Naturally, sometimes the girls would take the advantage of the student hall-teacher and proceed to have a rare old time. The tired ? teacher would not he visible during the entire evening, so of course by a unanimous vote the girls, including the Seniors, would think that they had had a fine treat. The girls not having studied the night before naturally had to resort to another time. At this particular instance it happened to he at 1:30 A. M. At the appointed time the girls assembled under the beams of the hall lights and were busy trotting away on their ponies, digging out originals in Geometry, etc., when lo! what happened filled the girls with horror. All at once a mysterious object appeared before them. But what could it all mean? 'Pile figure made itself known without any delay. It was Miss . hall teacher. After receiving a sound squelching the girls melted away like ice and all was still. There remains one thing to be solved, and that is the appearance of the hall teacher ready for a morning stroll, at this time in the morning. It may possibly be solved by consulting the “Head of the Psychology Department.” 9 itlj’SteriouS JDocfeet Harry is a very excitable fellow, as any one who knows him is able to tell you. One day, the boys being anxious for some excitement in Agriculture class, thought they would get him started. They slipped something into his pocket. Everything went along quietly and the boys almost gave up hopes of seeing their plan work, when unconsciously Harry put his hand into his pocket. In an instant he was on his feet holding his coat as far away from his body as possible, in the meantime giving a little Hungarian dance. It was a dead snake. College Jewelry of the Better Sort G.

Everybody ran to the source of excitement to learn its cause. In explanation of which, they were directed to the windows facing the lake. And lo, to the great surprise of all. a part of the Faculty were out boating. The girls hud been accustomed to seeing only folks of their own sex on that distinguished and beautiful spot. But there, before their eyes, was a gentleman rowing two ladies back and forth over the lake, just as naturally as if he had been doing it all year. Their excitement was increased the more when they noticed that the bow of the boat stood above the water at an angle of about 30°, while the stern, in which both ladies sat. was almost level with the water. This, of course, was too interesting a spectacle to the girls to permit them to take up their studies in any degree of concentration. So they just watched. They did not mean to spy upon the party, but girls do forget sometimes. After they had watched for some minutes, their view of the party was obstructed by the trees. But soon someone espied them in the upper end of the lake, the bow fast in the bank. Murmurs of pity were commingled with ejaculations of mirth. (For the girls had not all recovered from their surprise.) The mirth, however, was soon checked, for one of the occupants lost her nerve and jumped to her feet, freeing the boat from the shore, but causing it to rise still higher at the lighter end and to spill the occupants over the stern into the water. .lump, dive. Doctor; prove your valor. And the Doctor did jump too. For the smallest and the fairest occupant did he jump. When she was safely landed he went back for the other; but, by that time she. the tall and lovable one. had gotten out herself and was well on her way to the dormitory, her head erect and her shoulders very straight.

But alas! those who say that, whether they are students or touchers, are sadly mistaken. If you do not believe this, just come around the annex corner any night about 10:15, after the teacher is sure every one is in bed and fast asleep and has retired to her room. You will both hear and see all you want, alarm-clocks, paper bags, feasts, and suffrage meetings, and above all. the everlasting chattering and laughing way into the night, which the Senior hall teacher thinks is so abominable. But do not blame the lasses, they must have some excitement occasionally. On a particular night during the spring term, unfortunately the teacher did not return to her room at the usual time, but instead sat on a trunk at the end of the hall ready to pounce on the first girl who would break n rule. As usual the offenders began their performance. To their dismay the hall teacher was in sight. Immediately all doors were closed. Nevertheless, the occupants, who were guilty, in the rooms nearest the teacher, were visited and squelched in accordance with the misdemeanor committed. The most interesting feature was that among the girls who received a squelching were a post grad, and a Senior, noted for being sedate and quiet, whom the teacher seemed to think should be examples to the under students. Closely allied in this performance was a Junior whom all the girls think is the next thing to an angel. We shall not stop to explain anything more in regard to communicating doors through which she passed while the teacher was waiting for her outside, lest our wise sages might catch on to it. After all, the Second Hall girls are not so bad. but just a little mischievous, and we are sure they all love and honor their hall teachers, as the latter do them. latin All the people died who spoke it; All the people died who wrote it; All the people die who learn it; Blessed death; they surely earn it. -S22- Millersville State Normal School Millersville, Pa.
