THE CARDINAL PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1928 FOURTEENTH EDITION FOREWORD 5 If, in the years to come, the pages of this volume call back to your minds happy memories of old friendships, if you pause to hear the echo of the life we spent here together and pay it the tribute of a smile or a sigh, we shall have attained our highest goal in pre- senting this, the fourteenth edition of the CARDINAL. Thrve MISS ANNE O ' BRIEN Miss Anne O ' Brien was born at Fort Edward, New York. She began lier edu- cation in the public schools and later pursued the Latin Scientific course at the Fort Edward Collegiate Institute. During her two years at the latter institution, she participated fully in its social and intellectual life and as President of the Aesthetic Literary Society, displayed marked executive ability. Later still, desiring to pre- pare herself for the profession of teaching, she entered the State Normal and Train- ing School at Pittsburgh, New York, from which she was graduated in the class of 1892. receiving the honor of being selected by the Faculty as one of the Commence- ment Day speakers, in recognition of the excellence of her teaching in the Practice I )epartment. Bringing to the Normal School a liberal training and the natural enthusiasm of youth, she manifested those qualities of mind and heart which made her a leader, and soon was instrumental in organizing the Philomathesian Society, which three years later was granted a charter and became the Delta Chapter of the Agonian Sorority. The members of the Delta Chapter have recently purchased a beautiful Chapter House, the title being vested in the Agonian Sorority, Incorporated, of which Miss O ' Brien is Vice-President. After graduation. Miss O ' Brien was offered a position on the teaching staff of the public schools of this city, but had already accepted an appointment from the State Education Department, to the position of Librarian in the Normal School. In order to perfect herself in this chosen field, she took intensive work in the State Library at Albany and afterward a course at the Chautauqua Library School. Miss O ' Brien still continues to serve both teachers and students in a painstak- ing and efficient manner. Having taught only in the Pittsburgh State Normal School, and indeed spent most of her life in Pittsburgh, she has ever been loyal and devoted to her Alma Mater as well as to the city of her adoption. Miss O ' Brien holds membership in several local organizations and is also a member of the Ameri- can Library Association and of the New York Library Association. Four To the Class of 1928: During your period of training in the Normal School, your instructors have endeavored to keep ever before you the principle that the important things of life should receive their full measure of time, and the non-essentials only a smaller pro- portion. However, while the teacher is to a large extent the instrumentality and the directing force in the training of youth, books are the repository of the world ' s store of knowledge. You should remember then in the future so to plan the di- tribution of your time that you may find opportunity to become acquainted with the master-minds of the ages. Abraham Lincoln devoted much of his spare time to the mastery of books, the Bible and Shakspere, and the inspiration he received from these gave to the world the Gettysburg Address. You have studied a few books here; and we have tried to help you to value them as friends which you will not discard on leaving your classes. We have tried also to make, you feel a craving, for reading of a high order, so that in future choice of books, you will devote your energies to those that reflect, not the ephemeral thought of the passing age, but the eternal truths embodied in what Kuskin calls books for all time. In conclusion, do not forget that each human being is a book unto himself. Each one of you goes forth as a book fresh from the print-shop, as yet unopened and unread, which at some time or other the world may read. Elevation to some place in fame — or notoriety — may lead to the spreading of your life ' s story on the pages of the world ' s press. Preserve then the story in all its finer forms. Keep Hi. divine poetry of life clear as crystal and uncontaminated by the corrupted cur- rents of the world, so that when the Day conies and y ou join other volumes on the shelves of Time you may be so well-worn as to show the fruitful work you have accomplished. Five FAREWELL, ALMA MATER ] Reluctantly we say those words, for by them we sever the ties which have bound us to you for many happy days. 5 The order of our lives must change. There will come to us new friends and new associations. But nothing can erase from our minds the ideals you have given us, or change in our hearts the deep affec- tion we have tor you, our Alma Mater. «f Once again, we bid you Farewell. Seven Eight TT is my hope that you may all achieve distinc- tion in the profession you have chosen. But your experience will demonstrate that the race is not always to the swift and that what appears to be native genius does not always win the greatest prize. Industry and purpose exercised in the light of clear vision and unwavering faith are forces which outweigh all else. Your training has value but no great teacher was ever rubber stamped. No permanently inspiring figure was ever stereotyped. The supreme architect of your future is after all yourself.

Seventeen Twenty-one Mil Samuel Todd Twenl ij-tw Che 192B Cardinal CLASS OF 1928 To you who are about to leave us I say farewell and God bless you. My rela- tion to you, botb as Faculty Advisor and Instructor, has been a particularly happy one. We may have had some slight differences, but at this time of parting, they arc completely erased from my memory, and I trust from yours. It is only pleasant things that we think of now. In this my farewell talk 1 wish to offer a few words of admonition, which I hope you will receive in tin ' spirit in which they are given. Be square in vour dealings with others. In case of controversy., try your best to consider both sides of the question, and before deciding upon your course of action, ask yourself how you would feel if the positions were reversed. Be loval to your superiors and subordinates. If you cannot work in harmony with those in authority over you. resign, and give some othej- person an opportunity to make the attempt. On no account make the fatal mistake I ' stirring up discord and trying to form a party against them, a course of action, which even if there is some right on your side, is likely in the long run to react against you. Whatever position you occupy and whatever your duties may be, conduct your- self in such a manner that the scene of your activities may be better because you have lived in it. Though you have finished your course in this school, and are leaving, perhaps never to return, I want you siill to think of me as a friend, upon whom, if you ever need advice or help, you are free to call, in full confidence that it will be cheerfully and gladly given. Again farewell and God bless you. Twenty-three ■ SENIOR OFFICERS President Craig Martin Amsterdam, N. V. Vice-President Dorothy Riley Morrisonville. X. Y.

Sixty-four CLASS POEM We ' ve traveled along on our journey While the years as they glided along Have made of the past just a mem ' ry A story of joy and song. But a part of our journey is ended c needs must pause on our way We ' ve come to the cross-road of life We ' re leaving old Normal today. We ' re leaving our books and our lessons And friends that we ' ve found on the Way Along at the forks of the road We ' re, leaving old Normal today. But there ' s a bright spot in our mem ' ry A spot that will brighten with years Nor fade though hidden and broken And drenched with human tears. We ' ve traveled along on our journey Tho ' needs, must pause on our way Alone at the forks of the road We ' re leaving old Normal today. J. E. B. Sixty-six CLASS WILL We. the Seniors. Oil the eve of our departure from tin ' s institution, feel it meet and our bounden duty to bestow upon those poor strugglers toward truth and light who are doomed to remain behind — namely, the Juniors — a few gifts and words of advice which they sorely need. Knowledge we fain would leave them, but. alas, it cannot thus be so easily gained. It must be gained through effort on their part. Thus we gained it and so must they. Now as the time for our departure is near at hand and as we must go forth into the world, leaving the affairs which we have had in charge in the hands of our inferiors, we, the Seniors, in the last days of our Normal existence, in our last will and testament, leave the following people these gifts in order that they may more nearly approach our perfection. To the Class of 1929 we leave a secluded place in which to have their picture taken, so that in the future they will not be annoyed by having ordinary looking people spoil their class picture by appearing with the handsome seniors of ' 29. To Tommy O ' Neill — A permanent girl. Why be so fickle, Tommy? To Ahi.ene Chai-man — A nice, tall, dark, athletic man. To Joseph Donovan — A permit to stand in all his classes next year. We under- stand that standing makes one grow. To Happy Hartwell — A meal ticket at Normal Court. He seems to be particu- larly attracted to the place. To Iti ' TH Wilson — A new and more, comfortable way of descending stairways. To George Tavloh — A ball and chain to attach to his next girl so that she won ' t get away from him. To Grace Garrison — A drag with ALL the teachers. To EarL Walrath — A girl who won ' t call him down when he falls for her. To Anne Dorfman — Some of Mabel Close ' s meekness. To Howard MooXey — Some vaseline to smooth down that marcel. To Kathleen Bowan — Dot Riley ' s and Paula Cumming ' s interest in music. To Helen Murray — Some advice. Helen, you know the old saying, Curiosity killed the cat. Beware! To MaBBL Brewer — A little of Hazel Trim ' s demureness. To Curtis Saunders — Be more dignified next year. Seniors shouldn ' t show off so much. To Anna Conroy — A pair of knickers to go with the rest of her masculine attire. To Norman Bragg — A weapon to protect himself from the girls. Sh ' ty-seven To Grace Warmer — A French maid to dress her hair. To Ethel Ketcham — Alice Malone ' s height. To Albert Angell — A stepladder so that he may descend from his pedestal, To Ruby (mumble — Why not register for domestic science instead of commercial? That diamond seems to indicate that it would be more useful. To Bon Farnsworth — Brinkerhoff Street. We hear that he thinks he owns it anyway. To Cecelia Pltmley — Mildred Fraser ' s slimness. To GOV BeaubkiAND — A copy of the song Kathleen Mavourneen. To BARBARA Barnes — A supply of gum to chew next year. To Priscilla Williams — An earring for the other ear so that she may have a pair. To Mary Stengeh — A special permit to visit Ti every week-end. To Boji Carpenter — A girl of his own to avoid trouble. To I ' at Macheski — Another year to spend in Pittsburgh. She seems to have a special interest here. To Genevieve Bdsh — A man for next year so that she won ' t miss a certain Senior. To Agnes De St. Guay — Vera Hargrave ' s gracefulness. And we didn ' t forget our teachers. We realize that they can ' t be improved upon greatly, but we suggest the following so that they may achieve perfection: Dr. Henshaw — A detective to assist him in finding out who hasn ' t written an essay. Mr. Clark — A real car so that when lie talks about my car he can ' t be accused of talking flivverously. Mr. WiLKES — A new bunch to collect iii the girls ' cloak room and keep him busy the first period. Mr. Todd — Our most sincere thanks and heartiest appreciation for all he lias done for us. Mr. Street — A book on the Art of Salesmanship. Miss GoodbjdGE — A new notebook to take the place of the one she lost a year ago. Mr. Xoyes — Some more reference books to use in Sociology. We don ' t think there are quite enough. Mr. Gra ey — Some of those new Russian boots. We think they would be ideal for hiking. Mr. Thompson — A loud speaker so that the next time he loses his voice over vaca- tion. Mr. Wilkes won ' t have to officiate for him. Miss Anne O ' Brien — A new method of keeping people silent in the library. Mn. Smith — Some more jokes to crack in class. Miss Carrol — Some more brilliant geography students like those she had a year ago. Mr. Terwilliger — Some smelling salts to administer to those students whom he considers bored. Miss Ketchum — A kinder heart for the girls. Sixty-i tght Miss Alice O ' Brien — Some students with perfect enunciation to train for the rostrum. Mr. Hartman — A comfortable seat in all of his classes. To those Juniors whom we have omitted we make this explanation: we know you are fa r from perfect, but we think that probably the honor of being a senior will overcome your defects.

I lead my class last year might doubt awaken: Write led, and leave your credit still unshaken. End Superintendent with d E n t, Or slim your chances for a school will he — And yet perhaps this isn ' t really vital: You might strike one who can ' t spell his own title. Some school-men to Professor are averse As title, but Proffessor is still worse; And save to ignorance invincible A high school head is not a Principle. Never, in haste, except an invitation; Accept you may. with prudent hesitation. Verbal reply is safest, if there ' s hurry: .Mumble uccept, and you ' ve no need to worry. A cordual invitation may read well. But cordial is considered far more swell : Though with skilled typists, as one can ' t deny. ' Tis more the fashion to print U for I. Affect, effect, dissolve, and disappoint Are plagues in every education- joint j Look out for them when you begin to teaeli ; Beware too of those pitfalls, speak and speech, Lose, with one O, means miss or fail to find, Double the O, it signifies unbind ; Two A ' s there are in separate and two E ' s; Do not disturb this balance, if you please. Believe, deceive, and many a combination With J and E occasion sad vexation: Which vowel follows C, which follows I.? A cue I know, which I ' m not going to tell, But will instead make it a mental test: For a mnemonic. Cooties should suggest A shorter word that gives a helpful clue; Guess what it is. and earn a high IQ. An ill-made Speller is a school-room blight — Pages of words one never needs to write; If children should have use for what they learn. Such books are good for just one thing — to burn; And school-marms who in daily drill engage On horrors like caoutchouc and phleborrhage, Neglecting those and whose, receive and carry, Were not cut out for teaching — let them marry. A. N. H. Seventy-one CLASS GIFT The gift of the class of nineteen hundred twenty-eight to our Alma Mater consists of two famous works of art by a great American sculptor, Cyrus Edwin Dallin. This sculptor, one of America ' s most original and distinctively American sculptors, was born in Springville, Utah, in 1861. Two circumstances of his early life in the western wilderness profoundly influenced him — the proximity of the little log cabin where he was born to the lofty Wasatch Mountains, and his familiarity with the Indians in their native haunts. The first awakened and fostered in him a love for sublimity of form; and the second furnished him with an unfailing source of material for his creative work. The Medicine Man ' ' and the Appeal to the Great Spirit are the statues which this class of twenty-eight has selected to be placed in the halls of Platts- burgh State Normal School. The former received a silver medal at the Paris Exposition in nineteen hundred and a silver medal at the Pan-American Exposition in nineteen hundred one. The Austrian Government endeavored to purchase this statue when it was on exhibition in Paris, but it had been sold, before their offer was made, to Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, where the bronze, original, heroic size, now stands. The latter, original in bronze, heroic size, now stands at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Mass. We, as a class, hope succeeding classes will appreciate these works of art in a twofold manner— first, that they represent the choice of Dr. Hawkins; second, that they represent real, true American art.

Seventy -t even §t $i torie of ge €lam of ®toentte=mrote Ye moste remarkable classe. ye elasse freshmenne of laste year isse now ve more remarkable elasse jun- iorres of thisse year — ye classe of twentie-ninne. Ye storie thusse farre of ourre social achievementes and ye merits of ourre classe as a whole wille perforce be butte briefely touched up- onne in thisse accounte of ourre classe historic Laste year on ye date September scventhe there didde gather together atte ye Plattsburgh State Normal School a trulie enormousse numbcrre of ncwe studentes, possessed of rare abilities, loftie ideales. intelligence ex- traordinarie, and ambition untiringe. Thisse groupc soone didde become or- ganized into ye illustriouse classe freshmanne, and straightforward en- terred into the duties and pleasures thatte were to be found in this edifice of learning. Fromme ye memberes facultie we selected one Sir Terwilliger to guide usse throughe ye hazards of ourre ini- tiale year. W isely indeede liadde we chosen and justly do we attribute muche of ourre successe to ye earnestc council lie hass sow willinglie and ablie givenne. From ourre classe we se- lected ye following membres to fille ye several offices — President. George Gil- lev : Vice-President. Mae Brown; Treasurer, Thomas O ' Neill; Cardinal Representative. Sheard Parker ; and Secretarie. Anna Mulholland. Into ye Glee Clubbe and ye orches- trie and onto ye lists of athletice ourre members didde entere and didde se- cure greate honor and fame forre bothe themselves and ye school. To expresse ourre appreciation of ye reception tendered us bye ye upper- classmenne we strove mightilie lo en- tcrtainne them at ye Hallowes Eve party. Ourre effortes in thisse, ourrt firste socialc enterprise were highlie commended by ourre guests who didde enjoy themselves hughlie. Ye Mid-year Ball wass another tri- umphe and a memorable entertainment. Thisse was ye results of the efforts of ye capable committees inne charge. And in ye mid-year examinations, ye markes which ourre elasse didde at- tainne to were indeede a creditte to ourre classe. Shortlie after this moste terrificing ordeale we received the resignation of ourre President and we didde select Albert Angell as hisse successor. Ourre freshmenne activities closed in June with a celebration which didde consiste of a picnic and a dance. Thome came final examinationnes and farewelles midst much hustle and bustle. Thisse yeare earlie in September ye Juniorc classe didde organize and com- mence its activities. We hadde. profited greatlie fromme ourre earnest work in ourre firste yeare and were eonfidente that we coulde now do bigger and bet- Beventy-eight tern- thinges to addc glorie to ourre name. We were indeede fortunate to secure againne ye services of Sir Terwilliger as facultie critique. Forre ourre offi- cers we didde select as President, Thomas O ' Neill; Vice-President, Sarah Hull; Treasurer. Robert Carpenter; Cardinal Representative, Sheard Par- ker; and Seeretarie, Anna Mulholland. Laterre in ye yeare Mr. Sheard Par- ker lefte his office and we didde electe Harold Hartwell to fille the vacancie. Thisse yeare it was ourre turne to welcome ye newe classe and we joined with ye Seniors to entertainne them at ye dance informalle. Ourre members as usualle were amonse ve foremost of those enrolled in ye Glee Clubbes, ye orehestrie, and ye football and basket- balle squades. Once more didde we contende with ye mid-year examinationnes and we pushed onward as everre. We feele that ourre seconde yeare has indeede proved that ourre classe has made a greate advancement towards ye goale to which we are all striving. Moste earnestly are we working, forre all- ways in ourre minds we have ye inspir- ing wordes of ourre classe mottoe — ESSE QUAM VIDERE — To be rather than to seem to be — ye greatest classe in ye historie of ourre school — Ye classe of twentie-ninne. Anna Mulholland. Seventy-nine CLASS BEAUTY As I entered the ballroom, my first impression was that it was deserted. How- ever, as my eyes became accustomed to the half gloom, I discovered that all the men had gathered in one corner. Hastening to the spot, I soon discovered the reason — there stood the most glorious girl that ever graced this world. She had the glorious hair of Man Arms, the smooth arched eyebrows of Helen Montany, the deep-blue eyes of Anna Mulholland, fringed with Esther Werner ' s thick black lashes. Her aquiline nose was Mable Brewer ' s, her rosy mouth, .11 Darling ' s. Her smile, charming as Ruth Wilson ' s, revealed the gleaming even teeth ill Mary Stenger; while her skin had the fair perfection of Mar; Clark ' s. Only Lillian Stone could have had such a trim figure and Joyce Cretwell such well-shaped feet. Her gown was the choice of that excellently-dressed girl. Man Del ' asto. One courageous man braved the jealousy of the rest and whirled her away to dance. Only Monnie Strickland was her equal in this art. The hubbub did not cease at her departure, for all were eager to sing her praises. She has the sweet personality of Frances Jersey, said one; the disposition of Bernice Giles, said another; clever as Cel Zepf, and as lovable too, displaying the intelligence of Cora l ander Burg.

Eighty Eighty-one TRIP THROUGH HOLLYWOOD By .Ioe Normal Special correspondent for the JUNIOR STARS. Printed 6 request (his own). A beautiful luna (moon) was shining down as I left my hotel (hotel). A quaint city, this Hollywood, but it has lots of del (sky). Since this is written for your edification I must say that 1 had des aventures curieux (some curious adventures) there. Passing by the r aol (jail), I was dumbfunded to note the visage (face) of Andrew Broadwell peering through the bars. (X marks the spot). Stopping pour demander (to ask) the reason for his presence there, I was informed by the keeper, Al Mooncy. that Andy was jugged (incarcerated) for arson in the 52d degree. It si ems that Andy was found guilty of criminal negligence: he failed to put one of his passionate (warm) tics in the asbestos oonservatorire (conservatory), thereby causing the destruction of an entire, city block. At this moment our conversation was interrupted by a blare of trumpets. At- tracted by the fanfare (noise), I turned by head and behold! (lo) Lewis B. Clarke (Clalikc) was just emerging from the Opera House where he conducted advance classes in the Economy of Organ Music. Mr. Clahk ' s talent and all-around genius was first made apparent at Plattsburgh State Normal School in his interpre- tation of the production of the classic Husband Hunters. Dr. Clahke beckoned to me and I entered his limousine, the door being held for me by Bate (short for Phi Beta Kapa), Mr. Clahk ' s chauffeur. After the usual greetings, the former teacher ottered to show me the sights of Hollywood. Our first stop was at Bob Carpenter ' s studio where embryo pictures were being shot. We came upon the scene of Man. Woman and Sin. a tragedy, written by Anna Mulholland, popular pop-corn magnate, and critic. Starring in this produc- tion was Mabel Brewer. The story was one of simple country life as lived on 42d Street and Broadway, with an incomparable east of Norm Bragg as the leading man, Earle Walrath as the other man, and Al Darling as the other woman. In fact there were several other men and women. There was one stupendous scene: the spectacle of a mob fighting its way to pay class dues at P. S. N. S. I ' ll refrain (not chorus) from mentioning the leaders, but many fantastic impersonations were noticeable: Ward Magoon as the Missing Link. Tommy O ' Neill as The Spirit of the ' Pauline Turner as A Lady of Quality. Mary DeVasto as the Poor Little Rich Girl, and Mary Clarke as the Phanton of the Ago House. Having reviewed the production we proceeded to the various sets along the lot. One of the first things that met my eye was a scene of Liberty Street, to be used for the soul-stirring production Lor the Glory of Little Old Newburg. I wandered on to other sets where there was various great productions in the making, such as Joe Donovan in Brown at Harvard and Albert Angell in Brown at Vassar. We then left the lot and Mr. Clahk invited me to luncheon at Hollywood ' s Eighty-two most exclusive Automat (eating place). As we were going around disposing of MY nickels. I found myself bowing to people whose presence there struck me as being odd. The proprietor (owner) of the place. Curtis Saunders, called my attention to the fact that they were ex-Normalites who had made their marks (not grades) and fortunes in the movies. Bob (Babe) Farnsworth, never-to-be-forgotten star of Saxophobia approached and presented me with an excellent cup of coffee, in pay- ment, as he said, for the Coca-Cola (pre-prohibition beverage) I bought him years ago at Spearman ' s. Arlene Chapman, gliding smilingly by recalled to me her flashing appearance in The Fair Co-ed. Helen Montany, undcr-study of the famous Greta Garbo, asked me for a stick of gum. She shared the large stick I gave her with I.ooey Clahke who immensely enjoyed it. Having finished our respective second lunches. Magnum Laude Clahke and 1 emerged from the Saunders Automat into the clear blue ozone (air) of the superb California climate (ad. — Florida papers please copy). Mr. Clahk informed me in his inimitable dialect that he must return to his Potential Organ Artists (Grinders). I left Director Clahk somewhat reluctantly for J was now. as before a stranger in a strange town. However, I counted without my fate (destiny or mid-years). [ had walked a mere twenty-three and a half blocks when whom should I accost but Mary Macheski, about to enter her new Hispano-Suiza (maybe). Mary politely in- vited me to accompany her. She seemed only too glad to have me along, mentioning the fact that the front tire was a little flat (apartment). We drove up to what I thought was the City Hall but what was really one of the minor gasoline stations, where the following monologue was delivered: Fill ' er up, Joe — and better look at the oil— and don ' t forget the ten-gallon spare tank, that ' s empty too — and you might as well change those two front tires. She paused. I sat calmly by and watched all these operations being performed. Then Mary said, I think you ' d better pay the man now; he doesn ' t like to wait for his money. I paused. However, I had a fairly good afternoon. Later we visited Miss Dorothy Mars ' studio. It seems that she derives a good bit of cigarette money from selling the right to be an extra on the lot. We actually saw Miss Mars three times, once through a periscope and twice from a nearby tower. She was working on a new picture The Wooly Lamb, which she personally supervised. The best of friends must part, and. as it was train time, I started for the station. On the way I passed the flying field where a group of spectators were breathlessly watching the antics of a plane. I stopped to watch the plane and Stayed so long that my train couldn ' t wait for me. The flyer landed and I beheld none other than the peerless Nose-Dive Spearman. Could 1 mistake that beatific countenance? As be was planing the mail east, we made arrangements and hopped off within the hour. Three days later, having traversed nearly ten miles of hill and dale, I bade Nose-Dive farewell and walked home. Eighty-thru CAN YOU IMAGINE Marion Yates in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Eighty-five FOREWORD One hundred seventy-five of us will come this fall into the second year of our education at Normal. At this time tee are inclined to look behind as ' ' Cell as ahead, reviewing what tee have dour and speculating on -idiot we wUl do. A glance at our record gives us nothing to regret. Our Freshman year has hern illus- trated by no particularly brilliant achievement, but at least we have not been Standing still. We have fulfi lled the requirements of our educators. It even seems that ice have, in the main, gone beyond these requirements. Swinging around to the future, then, we hope, first of all, for a continuation of our attitude as Freshmen. And, as noth- ing appears to obstruct our vision, ice may see ahead a year of even better and more satisfying scholarship. At all events, it is to be sincerely hoped that in this next year ice will earn credit, reflecting not only upon ourselves, but upon the institution and its faculty. Martin Rooney.

ColtNEI.IA WESTLUND. CLASS HISTORY This is a brief chronicle of the activities of the first year of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty at the Pittsburgh State Normal School, as reported by the Class Secretary. On the twelfth day of September, there was enrolled at that august institution of learning, the Plattsburgh State Normal School, a class of potential pedagogians who will undoubtedly bring great renown to their Alma Mater. On that day, about one hundred and seventy-five of the elect of the great Empire State and nearby states, were officially registered and thus affiliated with one of the greatest normal schools in this section of the country. At last we were about to engage in that business about which we had been thinking for so long — the business of preparing for our life work. During the first few days, we were busily occupied receiving advice upon what to do and what not to do. English examinations were held to ascertain how little we knew of His Majesty ' s dialect, intelligence tests to discover the number of convolutions of our cerebral hemispheres, and physical examinations, to prove that four out of every five have it, administered unto lis. Then followed a period of social functions at which time we became acquainted with the upperclassmen and the members of the faculty. There was a busy season of rushing by the sororities and fraternities. On October 28. we gave a hallowe ' en dance to the upperclassmen. This was our debut as entertainers in the social whirl at the Normal. Under the guidance of an able staff of officers, we sailed calmly through the beginning of our career. All of the Freshmen survived the first ten weeks, and by the time mid-year had arrived, we were wholly confident of our ability to do better than any Freshman class at P. S. N. S. had ever done. The results of these examinations were as a sad awakening to some, but the majority proved their mettle and entered gallantly on the second semester of their freshman year. After the excitement of the examinations had passed, the Freshmen gave the annual mid-year dance, in the school gymnasium. It was a huge success and will long be remembered. The second semester passed quickly and we now find ourselves at home and confident of all kinds of success in the future. Thus passeth our first year at P. S. N. S. Mary WHEELER. Xini Ill-nil 11 The Mid-vioah Dance THE MIDYEAR DANCE On February 3. the Normal Gym was the scene of one of the most successful and charming dances ever held there. This was sponsored by the Freshman class. The interior of the gym was beautifully decorated in the class colors, green and silver. A large class banner hung from the center of the room. Fully four hundred people were, in attendance and it can be truthfully said that this year ' s Mid-year was in a class by itself. Walton ' s orchestra of Saranac Lake furnished the music. The patronesses and patrons of the evening were: Dr. and Mrs. George K. Hawkins, Dr. and Mrs. Alonzo Henshaw, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Todd. Mr. William Thompson. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hartman, Mr. and Mrs. John Rustcrholtz. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Terwilliger, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gracev, Mr. and Mrs. Osgood Smith. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Wilkes, Miss Elizabeth Ketchum.

Kineti -three OUR SENIORS When we entered the Plattsburgh Norma] School last September, it was with a feeling of awe that we regarded the mighty and honored Seniors. In our un- sophisticated eyes they were exalted personages, creatures of superior wisdom. We were prepared to find them fit companions for Minerva, goddess of Wisdom. We looked to see the halo of wisdom on the brow of each Senior, whom we expected to honor and worship just as the Greeks and Romans used to worship the great heroes who had gone before them. We had vested them with that lofty air which only eomes to those whose wisdom is profound. We had hoped to be allowed to stand outside where we could admire and watch them dining on neetar and ambrosia and catch the oracular utterances which fell from their lips like those of Sibylline whom kings consulted. Soon we put by these childish thoughts, for it was not many weeks before we came to realize that the Seniors were merely mortals such as we ourselves are. The scales of blindness fell from our eyes and at first it was rather a shock and a dis- appointment to us. We soon realized that it was much more comfortable to know them as human, full of faults, and as far from the fount of Wisdom as we our- selves. Fully conscious of their faults, still we admire them. They are a wonderful group of serious-minded young people, eager to be of benefit to the world and striv- ing to be successful in their chosen profession. Seniors, the Freshman class will miss you. The Normal will not be the same to us next September when we return. We are desirous of expressing our appre- ciation of the courteous and considerate treatment we have received at your hands. You have been kind to us and have overlooked our weaknesses and the foolish mis- takes of which we have been guilty. With you go our most sincere good wishes for success and happiness in the field of labor you are about to enter. G. A. Bahbkr. Ninety-four OUR JUNIORS When we entered the Normal we east envious eyes at the Juniors who to us seemed just mid-way to their goal. They had recovered from those disagreeable series of adjustments which it is necessary for one to undergo, and had become a part of the school, saturated with the atmosphere we all have to absorb. What a friendly, jolly group of young people we found them! Our associations have at all times been pleasant. The Juniors, far from keeping us at arm ' s length, welcomed us cordially and shared many pleasures with us. We shall be glad to greet them as Seniors next year and to continue our friend- ship. We are confident that they will be as kind and friendly then as we already know them to be now. G. A. Barber.

One hundred three CLASS HISTORY In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred twenty-live, the slumbering city of Plattsburgh was awakened by the entrance of one hundred thirty-eight Freshmen, the largest entering class in the history of the Plattsburgh State Normal School. This class, in the three years of its life here, has tried to follow its chosen motto. Honor, not honors. To show how well this has been carried out, it will be best to give a brief history of the leading events of the past three years. The first important step proved to be a desirable one, in that the class chose Mr. Samuel Todd as its faculty advisor. The choice of officers was equally suc- cessful. Francis Morhous was elected president; Kathleen Penfield, vice-presi- dent; Margaret Hagan, secretary; and Robert Farnsworth, treasurer. During the later part of September, the upperclass, finally realizing the worth of the new class, gave an entertainment and dance for the class of 1928. In appreciation of the good will shown to them by the Seniors and Juniors, the members of the new class gave a return party in the school gymnasium. With the opening of school activities, this class of ' 28 responded whole- heartedly by becoming members of the Glee Clubs. At a second call to arms, the Freshmen wen- well represented on the basket- ball squad. Kermit Williams, whose potentialities as a future star could be seen, was one of the first men chosen. Mario Del Favero, Charles Ellis, Leo Laravie, Kenneth Brown, and Leo Grenier were also selected as members of the squad. The girls were represented by Lillian Balder and Evelyn Forcier. Myrtle Molony was chosen Freshman cheer leader. Francis Burke was elected Freshman representative to the Cardinal staff. At the end of the strenuous but successful mid-year examinations, the class gave the annual Mid year Dance. The class colors, blue and gold, transformed the gymnasium into a beautiful dance hall. It was agreed by all to be the outstanding event of the year. In one more field of endeavor, the Freshman class showed its worth by partici- pating in a musical comedy, Rings in the Sawdust. Later the interclass play, ' Nothing But the Truth was given, Kenneth Brown and Mario Del Favero repre- senting the class. June came all too quickly with the Freshmen reluctant to bid adieu to the friends found among the Seniors, but with the thoughts of a not far distant renewal of friendship with the Juniors the next September. They left with a feeling of one year of work well done, of not once swerving from the motto, Honor, not honors. In September, 1926, once more, the town of Plattsburgh awoke from its summer siesta at the renewal of the class of twenty-eight ' s appearance. One hundred oar This year no time was lost in organizing and the following officers were elected: President, Louis Rosettie; Vice-President, Dorothy Riley; Secretary. Esther Kock; Treasurer. Mario Del Favero. Mr. Todd was unanimously re-elected faculty advisor with the office to be held by him until the graduation of the class. The class elected Craig Martin as the Junior representative to the Cardinal staff. Remembering the good will shown them by the upperclassmen upon entrance to Pittsburgh State Normal School, the present Juniors gave a dance to the Freshmen. The first football squad of Pittsburgh State Normal School drew some of its most valuable members from the Junior class. At the end of the season, the following Juniors were awarded letters: Mario Del Favero, George Gallant, Leo Laravie, James Morrissey, who was captain-elect, Leo Grenier, Craig Martin, man- ager-elect, Robert Rienzi and Kcrmii Williams. When the winter sports season opened, basketball claimed four Junior members: Kermit Williams, captain-elect; Mario Del Favero, Robert Rienzi and Charles Ellis. The championship of the school was held by the Juniors, at the close of two vic- torious games over the Seniors and the Freshmen. The month of June brought the Junior Prom which was given at Leonard ' s Pavilion and proved to be as successful as any activity undertaken by the class of ' 28. The second year ended not unlike the first, with all sad at the parting with friends of two years standing but with everyone eager to begin in the fall of ' 27 on the last lap of a successful journey. In the fall of 1927 Pittsburgh saw for the last time, the arrival of the serious and dignified class of ' 28. The class officers for the last year were chosen. Craig Martin was elected president; Dorothy Riley, vice-president; Mario Del Favero, treasurer; Etta O ' Mallev, secretary. The latter part of September, the Senior and Junior classes gave a welcome dance to the Freshman class. This year, as in former years, the class was well represented in Glee Clubs, football and basketball. The class presented the comedy, A Successful Calamity, which proved to be very entertaining. June soon came, bringing all the activities of Commencement. The three years of school life were soon to be ended. During this time, the class of ' 28 had worked diligently, sincerely and faithfully, with ever the motto in mind, Honor, not honors. THEItESA Clute. One hundred five CLASS ORATION AMERICAN IDEALS Europe looks on us as a huge mob of adventurers and shopkeepers. Leigh Hunt said that lie eould never think of America without seeing a gigantic counter stretched all along the seaboard. Europeans think we are. a crowd of money makers without respect for anybody or anything except the almighty dollar. We cannot entirely blame them for this attitude. They can judge only by what they see and hear. We must admit that many of our people who visit abroad are not tlu type to leave a good impression on the foreign mind. They are a crowd out to have a good time, with plenty of money to spend or waste on their holiday. But down under the skin, there exist American ideals, worthy and great. The War for Independence and the Civil War revealed that those remote forbears of ours who came to this continent not to seek gold, but God, had lofty ambitions. What are some of these ideals? One of the greatest is Liberty and Union. Who can deny the idealism of the great American, Patrick Henry, made famous by the closing of his address to the Virginia Convention of Delegates in which he said, I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death. Did not the same ideals prompt Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence in which he makes the famous passage beginning. We hold these truths to be self-evident — . ? John Adams, at the time of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence must have been guided by the same ideals when he said. Sink or swim, live or die. survive or perish ; I give my hand and my heart to this vote. My living sentiment, and by the blessing of God, my dying sentiment is ' Independence now and Inde- pendence forever. ' It is easy to form definite National ideals or it is easy to follow strictly local ideals. In America, however, we have a unique situation as we try to combine both National and local sentiments into one. From the time of the Revolution until through the Civil War we find these two ideals contrasted and often the cause of many bitter quarrels. We may take two men who well illustrate this fact. The first is Daniel Webster, the great exponent of the Federal Government, and the other is John Calhoun, noted for his belief in the rights of secession and nullification. By read- ing the different speeches of these two men we can realize how much these two ideals mean to the American people. In his second inaugural address, Lincoln contrasts the ideals of State and Nation and tells how supporters of both fought to attain their ideals. Another place in which we find the ideals of the American people is in our foreign policy. From the beginning we have had the ideal of Isolation. You all One hundred six remember Washington ' s Farewell Address in which lie gave this ideal we have kept for over one hundred and fifty years. The Monroe Doctrine in itself typifies the ideal of Inter-American Association. Who ean deny American idealism after reading this document in which the United States insures the freedom of the less powerful nations in the new world? In our own time, we have the example of Woodrow Wilson, the great idealist who died to give the world new ideals. Probably our greatest ideal is that of American Democracy. From the begin- ning down to the present time, we find this ideal coming to the fore in American history. Jefferson illustrates it in the writing of the Constitution. Lincoln ' s de- votion to democracy probably cost him his life. Wc shall never forget the devotion of Roosevelt to democracy or the willingness of the American people to enter a great war to make the world safe for Democracy. May we, members of the class of 1928, keep ever in mind the hopes, ambitions, and aims of our great American leaders. May wc cherish these ideals in our hearts and instill them in the hearts and minds of the youth who will receive in- struction at our hands. Jamks Mohiussky. Oaf hundred teven CHARGE TO THE JUNIORS Juniors! We, who are about to graduate, salute you. In this moment of our triumph and rejoicing we pause to complete our last task before leaving, perhaps forever, these honored halls. It is with much pride that we survey you now. The two years spent under our tutelage and within our influence have left their mark indelibly upon you. You are vastly changed from the raw, ignorant, uncouth mob which filled us with such dismay when first you were given to our care. Well and nobly have you responded to our efforts. Perhaps the one item for which you may receive most credit is the appreciation of your own insignificance in comparison with our worthy selves. But, lest you lose this admirable humility, let me hasten to remark that there is still room for much improvement. For example, there is a noteworthy lack of dignity in your demeanor. Your noisy passage through the halls; the staeeato of your heels upon the stairs; vour boisterous behavior on the streets of this quiet little town, all (ill us with pain, for to you will go the high estate we have so nobly upheld. You have had a regrettable tendency to look upon the Northern Lights when they were bright, nor have you always shunned the nearby pleasure halls when hours wasted there could have been spent most advantageously in preparation for the morrow ' s work. Bear in mind, my young friends, that you are the Seniors of tomorrow, and the younger classes will hold you as their criterion. In the onus of this new position you will be filled with growing pains as little minds and souls expand to grasp great ideals. You will rebel against new burdens, new duties and new responsibilities. In your weak and trembling hands will be placed to a larger extent the fame of our beloved Normal. In studies, in athletics, in social contact, you must carry her banner, and woe unto you if you fail ! But, carry with you a word of comfort. When days are dark, examinations hard, instructors stern, vacations far away, cast back your gaze to the class of 1928 who solved so sagaciously all problems, and surmounted so victoriously all obstacles. Consider the verve with which we cast ourselves into all noble pursuits. Remember with shame the opportunities for unselfish endeavor on the gridiron and court you failed to grasp. Jn the profession you have chosen, you must be leaders of youth. If you so signally lack initiative here, how can you possess it later? Is rest so dear or ease so sweet as to be purchased at the price of scorn and ignominy? Do not let the impossibility of equalling our success deter you. Strive mightily One hundred eight to overcome the inertia which has thus far characterized your class activities, for our eyes and the eyes of all old Normalites will be upon you. This is our parting word to you. In your Senior year and through the journey of life we of 1928 wish you of 1929 good luck and Godspeed. Kehmit Williams.  One hundred nine REPLY TO THE SENIORS On September 7, 1926, the Plattsburgh State Normal School began a new life, guided by an illuminating light in the form of a wonderful, brilliant and intelligent entering class, now known as the Juniors. All of the faculty members were joyful and greeted us enthusiastically; they smiled in iiappiness and, indeed, they had reason. Now, for the .first time in many years, they had with them a class ready for earnest work and achievement. Seniors, the great day which you have been anxiously awaiting is here. Feel- ing that we may be accused of neglect of duty were we not to tell you what we Juniors think of you, and realizing that this is our last opportunity, we feel that we must do this today even though it may mar your Class Day and force you a way from the joys of the day and take you into the realm of seriousness and deep thought. The very first day we saw you, we realized that a group of individuals who looked so tired, stupid, and spiritless, and who possessed so few signs of intelligence, could never compete with the bright, wide-awake group which now faces you. It is possible that at some moment you have come within the vicinity of a state of sanity — at least you think you have. We have heard the rumor many times too often — from you. However, a difficult and gigantic task has faced our hard- working instructors ever since you arrived. They have tried to fill the vacuums which you call minds, but their attempts, alas, but too often have proved fruitless. What you needed, in order to attain any degree of success, was a good example, and it was your good fortune that we arrived before it was too late. Seniors, hailing from nowhere and bound in the same direction, how could you ever hope to amount to anything without even an aim in life? Evidence of this is the fact that for two years you did not have a class motto. Not until this year did you select one. Honor, not honors is excellent, but in your case the last two words could as well have been left out. The last word is in the plural and may be won only by the intelligent. Enough said. It has been a custom that each class have its banner and cherish it. For some unknown reason you, the class of ' 28, went through your second year without one. You evidently did not realize how absolute your loss really was. You had nothing left. It is sad indeed when a class allows its banner to be lost — the emblem of its organization. During your three years here you have attempted to do some things socially. Of course, it would not have been possible for you to have done much — how little you have done, everyone knows. We of the present Junior class hoped to get a few suggestions from you. We could not. One hundred ten Something else. You members of the class of ' 28, the class that never was nor ever will be, know that the Pittsburgh State Normal School has enjoyed an enviable record for developing teachers. But as I look you over, there arises in my mind the question whether you will be of high enough caliber to uphold that excellent reputation. Unless you undergo a complete change, I shudder to think of what may happen. Then what a serious task we Juniors shall have before us in order to retrieve that glorious reputation. Were it not for our unusual capabil- ities, we know that the task would be well-nigh impossible. Seniors, in closing, I, as spokesman for the class of ' 29, advise you in a friendly way. Be loyal to your Alma Mater, as we are; be true to the principles of life, as we are; be kind to your inferiors, as we have been to vou. We ask that you forgive our frankness, that you think kindly of us, and re- member that It ' s the way you shoot, not the way you shout, that counts. As you are leaving us today, may our final words be spoken in frienship. Teach always that It ' s not who you are. but what you are, that counts. Good luck, Godspeed, and Good-bye! Thomas H. O ' Neill. One hundred elex-in PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS It is one of the greatest pleasures of our lives that we assemble here today on this memorable occasion at the culmination of our Normal School career. We all feel a deep sense of gratitude to our friends, to our parents upon whose wisdom we have relied to guide us, and especially to our Principal and the faculty in the cultivation of whose friendship we have derived pleasure, inspiration and invaluable aid. We have not always responded to their requests and suggestions as readily as we might have done nor have we always been inclined to study; con- sequently, we have made their tasks doubly difficult, but we hope, nevertheless, they may realize our deep appreciation of all they have done in our behalf. And now. as we gather here for the last time, a certain feeling of regret and sadness, intermingled with one of hope and expectation of greater things, comes over us. For today is Class Day, and we know this is the last time we shall be united under such happy cireumstances. Today we mark time — tomorrow we receive our diplomas, our final orders from the State, which will send us forth to work out not only our own fates but those of the youth of our nation. As we go out on the highway of life, may we ever bear in mind as individuals, the class flower and motto which meant so much to us as a group. The White Hose, meaning I am worthy of you, should inspire us to carry on in a manner becoming true and loyal sons and daughters of our beloved Alma Mater. The Greek motto, il TLjj.rj ov rt xat — - Honor, not Honors, should be the foundation of our char- acter and the bulwark of our success. With the determination, then, to keep our ideals lofty and unsullied, let us say, Farewell. Craig Martin. One hundred twelve IVY ORATION As we perform this simple ceremony, we feel the presence of many other classes, who, with hands as eager and as young as ours, have in other years offered these beautiful living symbols of their love and gratitude to their Alma Mater. It is with a deep sense of pride that we add our ivy vine to these others — let us so live and serve that it will be worthy of its place here beside them. Proudly may the ivy grow and cling to this wall as the thoughts of those who place it here will cling to the memories of happy days, close friendsips — all the priceless joys and sorrows of Youth which you have given us — Alma Mater. Before we say farewell, let us take from the ivy this thought, in the busy hurried lives we must lead, in our endless seeking after worldly goods, may we never lose sight of the beautiful. Alice J. Rea. One hundred thirteen SALUTATORY The Class of 1928 greets those who grace this occasion with their presence. You bring to us a real pleasure. But you represent to us something that is also solemn and impressive. You represent to us the large and invisible society of men and women in a great state in a great democracy whose social welfare we have been prepared to help preserve. You have been to us a warning that we must not fail. Your expectations all along have beckoned us to success. It is most fitting and proper, therefore, that you should be here today to share in exercises of which you are a part. The Class of 1928 greets you. But we wish to do more than greet you. We wish to welcome you for you are friends. Your presence is not only proper, it is warm and gracious. We feel your kindness and so as our true friends we welcome vou. Classmates, I congratulate you upon the successful attainment of that long- cherished goal, graduation, for which we have dreamed, planned, and at last reached. Now the thing is done and the great State of New York and this institution is soon to set its seal upon our attainment. To this end we have contributed no small part. Physically, mentally, morally, we have built ourselves up. The great moment is about to arri e, Our normal school life is over; what has been done is done. That which seemed so splendid to look forward to during the past three years is today a task completed. But the present achievement is comparatively a mere trifle and too much pride in it would stunt the virtues and worthy characteristics which we have acquired here and upon which we will be obliged to depend in order to reach greater goals. We have been trained for a practical career. The complexity of present-day civilization demands it. I salute you. my classmates, and feel proud in my knowl- edge that you have made use of your opportunities to this end. Plattsburgh Normal has prepared us for the life of tomorrow by training us to meet responsibilities, to develop initiative, to gain social insight, and to shoulder each his share of the work. Graduation should awaken us to a realization of the position we shall be called upon to occupy in affairs to come. The gates are thrown open. The way is clear and opportunity awaits just beyond. May we prove worthy of the respect and friendship of those whom we welcome here today. Craig Martin. Out hundred fourteen VALEDICTORY Knowledge is not a gift of the gods bestowed upon man for liis benefit or enjoyment, nor does man deliberately set out to acquire knowledge for its own sake. It is rather the fruit of the tree of life itself. Knowledge is for the sake of life — not life for knowledge. Each being lias his place in life — each has his part to perform. Each partakes of knowledge for the satisfaction of his own living needs. Thus has been our purpose in being here. To say good-bye to books, to recitation rooms, to lectures, is not hard. To Say good-bye to this institution, our Alma Mater, our school-mates, our teachers, is hard indeed. Here have been born and nurtured our ambitions, our purposes, our hopes, and our ideals, and to say farewell means to leave behind what has been life itself. But we should not be grieved at parting, for the life we enter upon now holds the realization of these fondest ambitions and hopes. This is but a step toward the goal for which we have striven. Let us carry on as we have in the past. May we profit where others have profited. -May it be ours to profit where others have fallen short. Going out prepared as we are, it is a privilege — an opportunity rather than a duty to face life in all its reality and shoulder our share of its responsibilities. Ours is an opportunity to give to others as we have freely received. Life is more than knowledge. To live — that is to know. Helen G. Geddes. One hundred fifteen CLASS SONG Together, together, always together. That ' s how it used to be Together, together, heedless of weather With gay hearts happy and free. CHORUS We ' ve worked and played together, Our joys were made together, Nor can they fade — no never, And we do contend They can never end. Today we leave forever, Bid friends good-bye together, We part from thee But in our memory We always will be together. J. Boyer.

Blackmer One hundred Ihirhj-five HISTORY OF DELTA TAU CHI With the Class of J 928 there came to Pittsburgh Normal School a school spirit in scholastics and extra-curricula activities, the intensity of which was greater than that of any previous class. It was the boys of this class who first foresaw the need for a boys ' organization that would bring about a helpful brotherly feeling among themselves. Accordingly during the fall of 192(5. a group of boys brought this matter to the attention of Prof. Samuel Todd, who has always had a whole-hearted interest in them. Dr. Hawkins was consulted; and he immediately gave his enthusiastic con- sent to the formation of such an organization. A meeting was called and the fol- lowing officers were elected: Leo Laravie, President; Robert Rienzi, Viee-Presideni : Charles LaCroix. Treasurer; Charles Ellis. Secretary; and Louis Rosettie, Guard. The following were appointed as a committte to draft a constitution and by-laws: Kenneth Brown. Mario Del Favcro, Francis Morhous and Louis Rosettie. This committee, upon the recommendation of .Mr. Todd, secured the services of Robert C. Booth, who is now city judge, as legal advisor. The committee, in conjunction with Mr. Booth, prepared a tentative constitution and by-laws, together with a ritual, which was adopted by the Fraternity, We wish to extend to Dr. Henshaw our heartfelt appreciation for his suggestions as to the choosing of our name. The formal announcement and recognition of Delta Tau Chi came in February, 1927. Prof. Samuel Todd was chosen faculty advisor and Prof. Jolm H. Rusterholtz assistant faculty advisor. Mr. Booth was retained as legal advisor and was also elected honorary member. Our numbers were advantageously increased by the initiation of a group of worthy members of the Class of 1929. At this time two popular faculty members was also admitted into our organization: Dr. Alonzo N. Henshaw and Prof. Lyndon R. Street. Following that memorable initiation came the most delightful dance of the school year — a novelty superstition dance — held in concurrence with Alpha Delta. The year was successfully closed with a week-end outing trip to Mr. Todd ' s Keystone Camp cottage at Chazy. Can you forget that Brothers???? Was the new school year of 1927-1928 a success? — (and how!!) Remember rush season? Normal Court — the Dulvev Sisters — The Tavern at Peru — Stolen Thrills — the Chicken Chase at Cumberland Head — the Frat Glee Club at the Strand? Then came the day that every pledgee of a fraternity looks forward to with great pleasure( ? ? ?), informal initiation. As the Knights of old had to prove their worth before they were admitted into Knighthood, so must each pledgee of Delta Tau Chi go through an informal ordeal before he is admitted. One hundred thirty-tin Now came formal initiation with its mystic beauty and solemnity. Not only .cere we fortunate in securing; fifteen truly worthy student members, but also in securing two new capable honorary faculty members — Prof. H. Otis Noyes and Prof. Lewis Bates Clark. Shortly after our return from the Christmas recess, the second annual Prat dance was held at City Hall. It was a delightful affair that pleased all. We opened the last quarter of the school year with our minstrel show, under the able direction of Prof. Lyndon R. Street. It met with remarkable success. Never before did Normal Hall ring out with such syncopated, mesmerized, con- glomerated harmonies. Is it any wonder that we decided to make our minstrels an annual affair? Following our minstrel show, we received an invitation to broadcast a progr am of music from Station YVGY of the General Electric Company at Schenectady, X. Y. The invitation was accepted. Consequently, on Saturday, May 19, Delta Tail Chi broadcasted a musical program consisting of both vocal and instrumental selection-. Prom all reports, it met with the approval of the radio audience. The members who are leaving this June feel they have gained much from the Fraternity which they will be able to utilize in their future career. They hope that those who remain will continue to uphold the ideals of Delta Tau Chi. so that their successors will in the years to come maintain a higher and still higher standard of ideals.

Of the twenty-two men of the preceding year, ten veterans were left to carry on the high standard of foot- ball established by Normal ' s former teams. A goodly number of the Frosh were out for practice and all men were soon under the wise and thorough observation of Coach Paul Hartman as they went through the hardening exercises and grass drills to put them in shape for strenuous playing later in the season. The players were soon divided into two teams and were taught to put into execution the plays cleverly devised by the coach. Too much cannot be said for the praise, of Coach Hartman. His well- chosen words, his ability to instill courage into the hearts of his men and his skilful choice of men to play particular positions all showed in the grade of football played. Here we might add that Manager Craig Martin proved himself a thorough business man by the number of games scheduled and by his provision for the transportation of the team and its care on trips. Before the first game, the team met the 26th Infantry players in scrimmage at the U. S. Military Post Field. A week later they played the Officers of the 26th Infantry. These tryouts showed both the courage and the ability of Normal ' s foot- ball warriors. The first game of the season was played with Vermont University at Burling- ton. Vt. Normal met at this contest th c most formidable team played during the year and showed up creditably against a heavier and more experienced team although hampered by the loss of two regulars from the squad. Time after time the opponents were pushed back from Normal ' s goal and only succeeded in scoring by brilliant end runs accomplished by a clever quarter back. However this game gave the team a much-needed taste, of real football and brought about more intensive practice during fhc following week. One hundred forty-three The .second game was played with Clarkson Tech at Potsdam. N. Y. This game was scheduled to he played in Plattsburgh. but the inability to secure a field made necessary a change of plans. A long ride to Potsdam coupled with many delays on the road was no doubt responsible for the weariness of the team on arriv- ing, but this feeling of lethargy was promptly shaken off when the squad came out on the field. Normal ' s center was injured in the second play and was taken out. Thereafter the opposing team directed most of their plays through the center with considerable success because of the inexperience of the substitute in that position. But in spite of odds. Normal held the Clarkson eleven to a small score. The last game to be played by Pittsburgh Normal was with Union College at Schenectady. This team had a good record of victories for the season and our players were badly handicapped by the fact that many of the regulars had been injured in previous games and had to be substituted. This was not because of lack of ability of substitutes, but rather because of the loss of spirit that comes from losing members in whom the entire team has confidence. But at this game there was a good demonstration of team work and the victory went to the opponents only because of their greater experience and their heavier team.

His position in the line gave no chance for grandstand playing, but the spectators were well aware that he was playing good football every minute of the game. During the first half of the season we were all rather awestruck by the co- ordination of brain and muscle of Bill Nadeau as demonstrated by his ability to readily interpret signals and his speedy machine-like accuracy in passing the ball back from center. The last part of the season Walrath replaced Nadeau as center, after the latter ' s injury in the Clarkson Tech game. He plavcd a very good game during the remainder of the season, and will be a decided asset to next year ' s varsity, after this year ' s grilling experience. Kermit Williams as full back played a stellar game from start to finish. His ability to block passes prevented the opposing team from scoring many times and his tacklhig was spectacular and efficient. Without his spirit of cooperation and Irs words of advice and encouragement upon the field, Normal would have fared badly indeed. A husky linesman was George Gallant who played the position of left taeke. He contributed to the team experience gained from High School playing and last year ' s varsity. So high was his standing among his teammates that he was chosen captain of next year ' s team. Another man of veteran ability was halfback O ' Neill. His excellent playing of last year was not only duplicated but improved. He displayed ability to cover the field quickly, combined with tackling of genuine skill. Guy Beaubriand has been spoken of as one of the men who take hard knocks. This was shown by the fact that he played in every game and demonstrated beyond a doubt that he combined grit and skill. Bob Carpenter is one of last year ' s veterans in whom we find the staunch- ness of body and the steadiness of nerves that comprise men who constitute a line that will hold. A new man on the team but one not new to the game was Sam Dennison who played the difficult and exacting position of quarterback. Sam not only bad the ability of good quarterback but he was by far the best punter on the team. Laravie played end position on the team again this year. He played a good game throughout the season, and will be missed next year. Del Favero played left end during the first part of the season, but was later replaced by Mooney, after an injury. A good defensive and offensive game was played by Rienzi as right halfback. Pie played in every game, and helped much in keeping down the opponent ' s score. Although losing many experienced players. Normal has a group of stalwart men who gained experience by substituting this year. They will make excellent material for the varsity and will form the backbone of a winning team. With Captain-elect Gallant at its head we may look forward to a string of victories next year. A good schedule of games has been arranged for next season, and football fans may look forward to some exciting and close-fought contests. One hundred forty-five Manager Angell, Donovan, Marino.

Dennison, O ' Neill, LaPontaine BOYS ' BASKETBALL, 1927-28 With a large number of candi- dates out for practice, basketball be- gan auspiciously a week after the football season ' for P. S. N. S. had closed. After observing the inen in action for a while. Coach Hartinan selected the squad to represent Pitts- burgh Normal on the court. Basket- ball enthusiasts of the school were glad to see the presence of three veterans from last year ' s varsity on the first team because it at least gave promise of another successful season. The usual handicap of not having our own court necessitated the use of a borrowed court, which cut practice down to one or two times a week, usually after supper. But although the amount of practice was limited, the team showed up favorably against its opponents and each game was a demonstration of the fighting qualities of our men. The first game of Normal ' s court season was a battle of both strength and skill between the P. S. N. S. quintet and the 26th Infantry Officers. The Officers had the advantage over our men not only in size but also in the amount of practice received in preparation for games, but to say that they outshone our players in skill would be an error of large proportion. The team, led by the ex- cellent playing of Captain Williams, succeeded in keeping the score close through- out the game. Combined with this were some clever basket shooting by O ' Neill and Dennison and some skilful defensive play and passwork by the guards. It was clearly a well-fought game. The Officers were hotly contested for every point they secured and onlookers were aware that Normal ' s team was just as good as the victors. An excellent display of good playing was the verdict of those who witnessed the game between Normal and the 26th Infantry team, two weeks later on the Post court. The team, although unused to the court, showed an excellent ability in basket-tossing and kept the soldiers on their mettle throughout the game. The basketball fans of P. S. N. S. were well satisfied that Normal had outplayed their Opponents in the second half or the game and that the victory went to the opponents only because of the soldiers ' greater familiarity with the peculiarities of the playing floor. The University of Vermont Freshmen put up one of the hardest fights of the season but were unable to take away the laurels of victory. Our plavers scored One hundred fori ij-seven consistently throughout the game, keeping the opponents who were dangerous always several points behind. The Freshmen showed fast floorwork and excellent basket- shooting ability and were fit contestants for the winning score. But Normal played one of the best games of the season, and nosed out a victor over their rangier and more experienced opponents. The game played at Albany with the State College quintet was exciting from beginning to end. Plattsburgh, Normal made a good showing against a more experi- enced team and played well throughout the entire game. Playing away from the home court has always seemed to be a big factor in Normal ' s scoring ability, but in this case it was especially so. The first half of the game went bady indeed for P. S. N. S. but the team rallied in the last half and brought the score up to more nearly compare with that of the opponents. The game played with St. Lawrence University Freshmen was characterized by Normal ' s poor passwork, inaccurate shooting and loose guarding. Every team usually has at least one off night during a season, and this was the one night for the Normal team, wh en everything seemed to go badly. The St. Lawrence team had a decided advantage in height and general ability, but even so it is doubtful if St. Lawrence was a better team than Vermont, who fell before the Normal players a week earlier. It was not Normal ' s night, and that ' s all that can be said. At New Paltz, P. S. N. S. put up a ri al fight against the New Paltz Normal team. Owing to a long railroad journey preceding the game the men were tired when they reached their destination. But in spite of this fact Normal played creditably after the first quarter and at the end of the first half it was difficult to forecast the result of the match. The score was close throughout the game and at the final whistle New Paltz led by only three baskets. The next contest was staged in Plattsburgh. with Plattsburgh Y. M. C. A., a squad which is always of collegiate standard and which has had a bjg string of victories this year. The team is composed of skilled players of long court experi- ence and was regarded as one of our most formidable opponents of this season. From beginning to end it was a contest of wits and skill and the playing throughout was of exceptional quality. F.ven though defeated, the Normal players looked like a real team and probably played their best game of the season. In this game the team rose to heights of skill and fight, which if present in a few earlier games, might have reversed the verdicts. The return game with New Paltz Normal was played at Plattsburgh. It was a display of excellent playing on the part of the visiting team and of very poor team work for our squad. The guarding was loose, and there was too much petty pass work between the guards with more efforts towards self glory than towards winning the game. The brilliant playing of Captain Williams was all that saved us from being totally eclipsed by the winners. The only alibi was the utter lack of teamwork.

His size, coupled with his quick thinking and quick action, has snatched away many a basket from the opposing team just when it was needed most. He was also the main cog in the passing game of the team and next to O ' Neill was high scorer. He will be badly missed by next year ' s varsity for it will be difficult to find a successor to fill his job. Mario Del Favero has also played with Normal for three years, the first as a substitute guard. For the last two seasons he has played that position regularly and has demonstrated his ability at clever passwork and efficient guarding. Thomas O ' Neill completed his second season on the varsity this year. Since coming to Normal he has played a remarkable game as forward and has been tin main basket-getter for P. S. N. S. His excellent passwork and basket shooting have won for him the admiration of all lovers of good basketball, in both the Normal and in Plattsburgh. Sam Dennison was a new man on the squad, who showed his fitness as a member of the varsity in every game by his cooperation with the other members of the team and by his all-round ability. Dennison played forward during the entire season and proved a reliable running mate for O ' Neill. He will be one of the main- springs in next year ' s team. Robert Rienzi played regularly on the varsity this year for the first time, hav- ing been on the reserves last year. Although small in stature, he played well at the guard position. Harold Ryan substituted in the position of forward. lie played a good game, displaying ability to secure baskets and cover the floor quickly. He should be a fit candidate for a regular position on next year ' s varsity. Raphael I.aFontaine was substitute guard. He never failed to give the specta- tors a fine display of good floorwork, and dependable playing, whenever called upon for relief work. The Normal Resehves This year Plattsburgh Normal, through the interest and efforts of Coach Hart- man, and Assistant Manager Angell has maintained a second team which has not only furnished real opposition to the varsity in practice, but has also played a schedule of its own. Teams of high school ability and local aggregations were among those played. In all of the games the team showed cooperation and en- thusiasm and some of its members will doubtless be on the varsity in 1928-29.

Hartman has endeavored earnestly to build up athletics in P. S. N. S. That he has been successful is shown by the h ' ne spirit of the student body towards the various sports which he lias introduced and fostered. Play fair, win or lose, has been his motto in every competitive sport and every game has been ample proof that he has suc- ceeded in instilling this aim into his squads. One hundred fflij-nne R.

The material for such a team has always been present in Normal ' s court squads, but it has never had the opportunity to demon- strate its ability to the school in such a large measure as during the present season. The coach selected two teams from the candidates who appeared at prac- tice and by constant observation he strengthened the line-up by choosing players best qualified to play the va- rious positions. Combining the skill and experience of those who played last year with the enthusiasm and ability of the new players a team was built up worthy of taking a place among the leading women ' s teams of the State. Schedule Normal Opponents Lake Placid High School 26 17 Lake Placid High School 22 11 Potsdam Normal 11 29 St. Lawrence University I. - ) 37 New Paltz Normal 28 14 Potsdam Normal 21 21 New Paltz Normal 29 21 St. Lawrence University 22 2-1 The initial game of the season was played at Lake Placid against the high school team. This game, although played before the team was entirely organized One hundred fifty-three and chosen, showed the superiority of Normal ' s squad over that of the secondary school, and the victory proved a source of encouragement for the games to come. The passwork of our girls outshone that of the Lake Placid team and the scoring ability of P. S. N. S. forwards was proven beyond doubt. A return game was played at Pittsburgh several weeks later and the result was another defeat for the opposing team. Although the Lake Placid team put up a splendid tight they were held in complete check by the all-around superiority of our girls. A much larger margin of victory could have been secured had not the coach substituted the entire reserve team during the whole of the third quarter. Our first game with Potsdam Normal, one of our old rivals in years past, showed what a good fight P. S. N. S. girls can put up under unfavorable circum- stances, such as a long journey by rail and the misfortune of losing because of injury to one of its trusted members in the early moments of the game. For three quarters, nevertheless, the girls kept on fairly even terms and gave back as good as they received. In the final quarter, however, the pace set by McCabe, Potsdam ' s brilliant forward, was too fast for our fast-tiring guards to equal. The day following the Potsdam game our team played the St. Lawrence Uni- versity girls at Canton. A favorable showing was made against a team entirely composed of experienced veterans. Owing to fatigue from playing a hard game the night before our girls were not up to their usual standard of playing, and were slowly but surely worn down by the fast work of their opponents. Although vic- torious, the St. Lawrence team could not be said to excel in anything except physi- cal condition, but that is usually sufficient to win any game. At New Paltz our girls played the Normal squad of that place under adverse conditions. Having been drilled in modified boys ' rules for Potsdam and St. Law- rence, they were handicapped somewhat by the strict interpretation of girls ' rules in this game. But it might be said that the team played more earnestly, with a real desire to win, than in many games when it brought home victory. The loss of Slowey and Pavek on fouls in the second half and the fact that Captain Balder COuld not accompany the team on account of illness, were factors contributing to our final defeat. The Potsdam Normal game at Pittsburgh will be remembered by all who attended it as the biggest and most satisfying accomplishment of the season. The ambition of several years was finally realized, for after a fast and thrilling Straggle in which both teams contributed brilliant exhibitions of basketball, the home girk were found to be out in front by a narrow margin of three points. A bewildering p.-ssing game that ini many instances had the Potsdam guards standing still was the outstanding feature of our team ' s play, which found Chapman, Sleight or Hitz breaking open repeatedly for shots at the. Potsdam basket. Notwithstanding the excellence of Captain Balder and her mates, the closing of the score gives ample evidence that the visitors were dangerous every minute of playing time, due chiefly to the lightning-like dribbling and shooting of .Miss McCabe, who has been termed the fastest gjrl forward in the State. One hundred fifty-four The return game with New Paltz proved to be another thriller. Taking the lead in the first quarter, P. S. N. S. played furiously to keep always several points ahead of the opposing team. At the end of the first half our girls led by three points. This gap widened to nine at the end of the game. Chapman, our diminutive star, turned in one of the best games of her eareer by accounting for six field goals and five fouls against the guarding of Miss O ' Reilly , rated as the best guard in Normal School circles. The final game of our basketball schedule was staged in Pittsburgh, and was the return game of the St. Lawrence University quintet, it was a holly-contested game from start to finish. At the end of the first quarter our girls led by one point as they did at the end of the half. Both teams displayed fast floor work and bril- liant basket shooting, and everyone was satisfied that our girls were the equals of the winners. The closeness of the score throughout the game attested to the. fact that we have a team of college caliber. Personnel Lillian Balder ' 28 Captain Arlene Chapman ' 29 Manager Paul H.

THE PLANORSCHO CAMP FIRE GIRLS A year ago last October several of the girls at the Normal School, with the idea that prospective teachers should become familiar with methods of conducting social, recreational and character-building organizations among their pupils, formed themselves into local group of the Camp Fire Girls of America. Learning that Mr. Graccy, of our faculty, was one of the pioneers of the move- ment which began in I!) 11 and has now over 200,000 members, they asked him to become their faculty adviser. Under Miss Arda Hickle as guardian, the first year was very successful, and beside the regular activities of the winter, some of the members enjoyed the tent and canoe which furnished their camp at St. Ormand ' s Bay during the entire summer. This year Miss Sara Masterson has been the guardian and leader. Weekly meetings have been held at the Young Women ' s League, with occasional ceremonial meetings and several enjoyable social events. Another cam)) is planned for this coming summer, with frequent outings during the spring. The members are: Sara Masterson, guardian, Elizabeth Schweighardt, Sarah Rowe, Rose de Vito, Agnes de St. Guay, Gladys Nail. Lucy North. Gladys Conklin. Dorothy Wing. Anna Erickson, Lena Feldman, Marion Strack. and F. M. Graeey, faculty adviser. One hundred fifty-seven OUTDOOR CLUB OFFICERS Marjory Martin ' resident Anne Finnigan Vice-President Catrvnia Coli ' mbe See retur i -T ' reftsurer During the month of September, 1927, the Outdoor Club of the Plattsburgh State Normal School was reorganized under the supervision of Miss Goodridge. The membership enrollment was 45. The aim and purpose of this organization is to provide outdoor recreation for the girls of P. S. N. S. The Club ' s first activity was a Get-Acquainted trip Up the River, when all the freshmen were invited to be the guests of the Club on a hike and supper along the Saranac River. On Saturday. October 8, a party of 40, chaperoned by Miss Goodridgc and Mr. Gracev. climbed l ' okc-a-moonshinc. Leaving the school about 9:00 in the morning the party made the trip to the foot of the mountain in a large bus. The climb began at once. The trail is well marked and an easy ascent, but to this party, unaccustomed to mountain climbing, it seemed difficult indeed. At about 1 :00 o ' clock we reached the cabin of the fire ranger. Here we stopped and cooked our dinner. Appetites were in no way impaired that day and the lunch was heartily attacked. The meal finished, fire put out, and a short rest enjoyed, the climb was resumed. About twenty minutes later we reached the top. Here we climbed the lookout lower and from this point we enjoyed a wonderful view of the surrounding country. The descent was much easier and quicker. At about 4 o ' clock the bus left for Plattsburgh with a tired but happy crowd. The day had been ideal — warm, bright and clear. The foliage was at the height of its beauty and the ground only lightly covered with leaves. Many are hoping that the trip can be repeated next fall. The organization seems to have a very promising future; it has increased its membership considerably and has an elaborate program planned for the spring. One hundred fifty-eight INTRAMURAL SPORTS TENNIS. 1927 Notwithstanding the difficulties which confronted the tennis enthusiasts, a late spring with cold, wet weather, and the consequent inability to get the courts in playing condition, a eery satisfactory and interesting intramural season of play was eventually held. The athletic director arranged a singles tournament for boys and one for girls, an intcrclass doubles tournament fcfr both boys and girl-, also, and a mixed doubles tournament. Due to the large number of entries in the singles tournaments and the numerous postponements of matches because of wet weather, the doubles tournaments were not played. However, the singles matches uncovered a pleasing array of adept court artists in both sexes. Much interest was manifest throughout the tournaments which were run on the elimination basis. The final rounds found Gus Cosgrove ' 27 and Harold Hartwcll ' 29 for the boys, and Gwen Killingbeck, Special, and Helen Baker ' 29 for the girls, fighting it out for the medals in each division. Cosgrove and Killingbeck finally won through superior placing of shots and excellent stroking and received the gold medals, car- rying with each the honor of singles champion of the school. Special mention should also be made of Earl Walrath ' 29 for the boys .and Olive Butcher ' 27 for the girls, both of whom were only eliminated from the finals after the hardest and closest matches of the tournaments. Interest in tennis is growing with every year. During the season the athletic director with the aid of the Freshman boys of the Health Education classes star ' ed the construction of a new court, which was used a great deal, especially by the novices, and proved a useful and appreciated addition to the tennis equipment. ARCHERY, 1927-28 Last fall marks the introduction of a new sport to Normal, the popular pastime of archery. Coach Hartman has been much interested in organizing an archery squad, and at his recommendation the Athletic Association purchased the necessary equipment to give our bow-and-arrow enthusiasts an opportunity to learn more about the technique of the sport and to acquire skill in hitting the bull ' s-eye. During spare periods and on Saturday mornings a large number of girls were on the campus practicing the ancient sport, attesting to the fact that its popularity elsewhere was duplicated at Normal. The future of archery at Normal looks promising, judging by the interest and favor shown it by the P. S. N. S. girls and the school may well look forward to developing a squad that will show up favorably in competition with other teams of this sport. One hundred fifty-nhir THE CHEER LEADERS Early in the fall the campus was awakened each week, on Friday, from its drowsiness in the fall sun by the cries of Hip, hip of the cheer leaders followed by the response of the rooters, N— O — R — M— A— L, N — O — R — M — A — L, N — O — R — M — A — L Team, Team, Team, or Ooooooo — Rah Ooooooo — Rah Plattsburgh Normal, Rah Rah Hah. A class in cheer-leading was in progress and the Frosh were being instructed in organized cheering. Such was the beginning of this year ' s cheering squad and they have shown results. At every game the rooting has been of unusual quality and volume. One hundred tixty One hundred airty-one THE TALE OF A BRITISH SOVEREIGN PROLOGUE As I crawled through the pasture bars at the end of the lane and strode off across the pasture, my shotgun under my arm, 1 pulled my hunting jacket more closely around me and pushed my hands deeper in my pockets. It was an early morning in November, and the northwest wind came down from the lofty heights of Bald Knob and tipped the surface of the lake with caps of white. I had spent nearly two days on Chimney Point visiting with a friend on a farm. Learning that wild ducks were plentiful, f set out early this Sunday morn- ing to try my luck. Having spent half an hour blazing away and having convinced the ducks that they were entirely safe as far as I was concerned, I started homeward along the shore; but soon had to climb the steep and slippery bank for it was dur- ing that terrible time of the Vermont flood in the fall of 1927 and the lake had risen until its hungry waters were lapping greedily at the shelving banks. Stopping for a moment to get my breath on the wind-swept bank, I looked across the lake toward Port Henry whose many windows were sending back scarlet reflections of the glory of the rising sun. Nearer still, on the opposite .point, known as Orchard ' s Point, stood tin ' ruins of two old forts, Frederic and Crown Point. Their ruined walls still stand, majestic though crumbled, beautiful yet awe inspiring, while around them hangs the mystery and memories of an age gone by. Suddenly, I realized that I was standing on the old Post Road where Mr. Watson had found his British sovereign. It was only the night before that he had told me how he caught its golden glint while looking for Indian arrow points on this very spot. It was marked as he described it. with the date 1775, and had on one side the Latin inscription, Georgos III, Britanniac Rex. Fidci Defensor. On iln reverse side, St. George and the Dragon, and the shield of Arms were imprinted. The sovereign is equal to twenty English shillings or $4.8665 in United States money. I sat down in the road-like depression, well sheltered from the wind, and tried to lift the veil of years; tried to see the lake and surrounding country as it looked when it was the stamping ground of the warrior, the battle-field of the British and French. How many nationalities had trod on this very spot? Who had dropped that golden coin there? Ah! if it could talk what a talc, it might tell. I was in no hurry to reach home, so I sat there my gun forgotten beside me while on to the stage of my imagination marched strange characters who enacted before my mental vision. THE STORY OF THE SOVEREIGN Dusk had fallen over the lake and surrounding woodland as a canoe put out from shore and paddled slowly and silently northward. It contained two occupants, who. had it been lighter, could be easily seen from the shore. One hundred tfaty-tWO He in the bow of the canoe was an old man of some seventy winters with fast-greying hair which had once been black. But for all his age his eyes were as sharp as they had ever been and he wielded his paddle with as much force and apparent ease as the youth in the stern. Slim and lithe he looked in his worn buckskins, yet strong and muscular too, with a bright boyish face under a mop of curly hair and eyes as piercingly black and keen as a hawk ' s. As the light bark neared the eastern shore, the young man lifted his paddle, laid it across his knees aifd spoke. Father, what think you of that firebrand, Patrick Henry? He ' s a brave and daring man but a •foolish one, my lad. He ' ll lose his head yet, I fear. Hast thou heard, boy, that Major Skene has returned from England and has been appointed Governor of Crown Point and Ticondcroga? Aye, Father, and I heard it only this morning from Joe Tyler at Skenes- borough. He is a loyal subject to the king, as arc many others of friends, but if. as is threatened, it comes to war, I shall fight for the cause of liberty and the colonies. Hark! Silence that rebel tongue of yours, my lad. In times like these the very trees and lake have ears. I.ook to your paddle, boy, and we ' ll soon be eating some of Betty ' s good griddle cakes and sausage. The moon had risen as the. canoe grated on the gravelly beach. The two men jumped out and pulled the light craft under the dense underbrush which lined the shore. As they climbed the well-worn path toward ' Betty and her pancakes, the moon sailed majestically from behind a cloud and touched the wooded shore, the placid lake, and the cabin in the clearing with beams of silver light. Betty McCrae had kept house for her father and brother here in their wilder- ness home for eight years. In 1766 Donald McCrae, a native of Scotland with his twins, Donald and Betty, had ventured into the new country and settled on what was then known as Pointe a la Chevelure, now known as Chimney Point. Tall, slim but capable in spite of her twenty years was this girl who unbarred the door for her father and brother. Her cheeks were rosy from bending over the fire, her dark hair was pushed back from a high brow and piled high on her shapely head. The aroma of coffee, frying sausage and fresh baked buckwheat cakes gladdened the hearts of the hungry men as they entered and hastily began to prepare for their evening meal. Ah! Betsy, exclaimed young Donald as he playfully twitched a curl which had strayed from its fastenings, And how is that soldier lover of yours today ? You ' d better be bidding him good-bye, I ' m thinking, for soon no soldier of the king can be caught wooing a rebel sweetheart and keep his head. Mind your own business. Donald McCrae. cried Hetty blushing to the roots of her (lark hair. And don ' t you dare call me Betsy again or I ' ll never, never, — We shall never know what Betty would never do, for just then knock came so unexpectedly at the door that they stood speechless in amazement. A second knock, louder than before moved the older McCrae to answer, Who is there, friend or foe? Otii ' hundre d sirty-lhree A friend. came from without in deep resonant tones. Young Donald unbarred the door, disclosing to view a tall, lithe, muscular Indian, clad in buckskins, a single feather in his scalp-lock, and carrying a musket in his hand. Tomahawk and hunting knife were in his belt, while a powder horn hung at his left side. As he stepped into the room he slipped his hand inside his tunic and brought forth a note which he handed to young McCrac. Wonderingly, young Donald opened the missive and read aloud : To Donald McCrae, Blood has been shed at Lexington. War is inevitable. Are you a follower of the king or are you for liberty and the cause of the colonies ? Speak and say if you are slave or master. If slave send this letter back by the Indian, if willing to join my band of Qreen Mountain Boys, send no answer to Ethan Allen. Oh Donald ! cried Betty throwing her arms around her brother, her anger of a moment before forgotten. You mustn ' t go, you ' ll be. killed. ' Tut tut. don ' t you worry. As soon as old Georgie sees how strongly he ' s opposed he ' ll probably throw over the whole thing. Dry your eyes, old girl, and let ' s have supper, I ' m starved. Come, my friend, he motioned to the Indian, sit up and have supper. There ' ll be no message for Ethan Allen from me tonight. So saying, he pulled off his coat with a nourish. From the pocket a gold coin rolled onto the floor. Betty hastened to retrieve it and hand it to her brother. Both glanced at their visitor but his face was as stoically impassive as ever. The Indian shrugged his shoulders. The words of my white brother are good, I go, for I have finished my mission. Declining all offers of food, the young Indian stalked out of the cabin and vanished into the darkening forest. After the first rumble of thunder, it wasn ' t long before the storm itself descended upon the country, tearing young men from their homes and leaving in its wake stark ruin, despair and horror. Battles were fought, with a king struggling for power and his subjects fighting for freedom. Gloomy indeed was the home of the McCraes, for sad as had been the parting with Donald, sadder yet was the bitter quarrel between Betty and Herwood Ann- strong of Fort Frederic. Relieved from duty for a few hours one day a week after Donald left for the stronghold of the Green Mountain Boys at what is now known as Vergennes, the young lieutenant had paddled across the lake from the fortress to the house of the McCreas. Here he wandered through the woods and along the shore with Betty, discussing the terrible monster which threatened to destroy them. Herwood. Herwood, what shall I do? Donald fighting with the Patriots, you with the British. Oh ! suppose you should meet on the battlefield and kill each other. Oh! this awful war. What will become of us? Courage, Betty darling, it cannot last forever. Be of good cheer, for Donald is fighting for what he believes to be a just cause, and I, I am content to do my duty. One hundred sixty-four Herwood, please throw duty aside and listen to reason. You should be fight- ing for the colonies not against them. You have been here in this country longer than I have. Don ' t you feel as if it were yours, as if you were really an American Citizen? Please, if you love me, take off that red-coat uniform and fight for America, for freedom and for our happiness. The British redcoat straightened and looked with flashing grey eyes at the slim young girl who had pleaded so earnestly for the cause. How dare you question my honor as a soldier and my loyalty to my king. You who profess to love me would have me turn traitor to my country. I could not do that even for love of you. Betty sat on a moss-covered stone by the water ' s edge, her face in her hands. As the young soldier looked down at her, his anger vanished and he felt a strong desire to take her in his arms and comfort her, but to do this would lose for him all that he had thus far gained. Betty, he cried, Answer me and tell me you were not in earnest. The young girl stood up, her hands on her breast while she struggled to control herself. Go, Herwood. she cried, pointing to the distant fort. Go and do not COine lien- again. It is your duty which is at stake. Go and do not let any thoughts of love prevent you from performing that duty. Young Armstrong made as if to grasp her hand, but she eluded him. Betty, lw cried. You can ' t mean this. I do, she answered, her lips trembling, only go, please at once. One moment before I go, he answered taking her arm and holding her in his iron grasp. Does this mean that your love for me is dead? But nod your head if it is so and I ' ll not trouble you f urther. She slowly inclined her head, and then she was free. Very well, he said, his voice cold and hard. Then I swear you never loved me at all. Good-bye. He was gone. With a strangled sob, Betty scrambled up the bank, stumbled blindly through the woods and threw herself on her bed in her own room in an agony of grief, Elizabeth, come here at once, came the voice of old Donald, her father. That young Indian is here again and insists on seeing you. It was the morning of May 10, 1775, three weeks after the first gun had been fired at Lexington. Betty McCrae hurried to the front door where the dark- skinned man of the forest stood with arms folded on his breast. Taking the letter he handed her, she eagerly opened it and read. Dear Betty and Father, It seems years since I bade you good-bye to take part in this infernal war. It has been child ' s play thus far. The British are cowards. We just look at them and they surrender. We took Fort Ticonderoga today and let me tell you, Betts, you would have laughed to see old Captain Delaplaine, scared out of his wits, asking Allen by what authority he demanded a surrender. ' In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress ! ' replied Allen. The whole garrison became One hundred sixty-five prisoners of war and we obtained nearly two hundred cannon. Tomorrow under the command of Colonel Warner we expect to— but never mind — I forget that half your heart is in the British army. You can trust the bearer of this note. Hiro, the Indian escort. He is a close friend of Allen ' s, also of mine. Do you remember, sister, that gold sovereign Herwood gave me last fall when we bet at that shooting match and I won ? As the Indian admires it greatly, I am giving it to him in return for many favors he has bestowed upon me. Hiro is waiting and is anxious to be gone so good-bye. Love to you and Dad and may God keep you through this terrible conflict. Your loving son and brother, Donald. At the same time that Betty was reading her brother ' s letter, Donald, himself, under command of Colonel Seth Warner was moving slowly down the lake toward Fort Frederic. Donald, expecting the redcoats to put up a stiff fight in defense of the fort, was somewhat disappointed and disgusted when the British surrendered without a struggle. Remembering the covered way leading to the water from the northeast bastion of the fort, Donald gripped his musket and hurried down the passageway. Halt or I fire. The command came with such suddenness that Donald nearly fell over the figure in front of him in his surprise. Donald. Herwood. And then had anyone been looking they woidd have gasped in amazement to see these two soldiers of different armies shaking hands, patting each other on the back and behaving like school boys at; recess. I say, Herwood, but it ' s good to see you. Come on out of this gloomy old cellar, I want to talk to you. You don ' t feel bad at losing this old pile of stone, do you? It ' s not exactly what one would want to start housekeeping in, now is it? I imagine that ' s what you ' ll be interested in as soon as this silly old war is over. The older man laid his hand on the shoulder of the younger. Ah, Don, old friend, we cannot know what the future holds for us. In times like these we hold our very lives at stake ;. but I must not tarry here. I must go unless you consider me your prisoner. Not my prisoner, Herwood. War or no war, never that. Lead on. I myself will escort you to the lake. To Herwood Armstrong, paddling swiftly northward, the sight of the old fort which had lately housed himself and his comrades, but which now was in tire possession of the Green Mountain Boys, the boyish figure of his old friend still standing on the stone steps leading from the shore, his hat in his hand, with a light wind ruffling his curls, the sight of the McCrae cabin across on the opposite point but farther up the lake, all served to make him realize that not only was he escaping from his enemies, but he also was leaving one who had been as a brother and another whom he had hoped to make more than a sister. One hundred iiccty-guc Now followed in rapid succession the events of the war through the years ' 75 and ' 76. Boston. Bunker Hill, and Charlestown Neck had all been the scene of fighting. Some people thought that England would relent, but the stubborn char- acter of George III resolved to send twenty-live thousand men to crush America. The British Government made a bargain with the Grand Duke of Hesse Cassel, hiring nearly eighteen thousand men, at exorbitant rates. These men were called in America, Hessians. The Declaration of Independence drawn up by Jefferson, was discussed and passed on the fourth of July, 1776, at two o ' clock in the afternoon. All day long Philadelphia had been in a state of wild excitement and a crowd had stood about Carpenter ' s Hall. All day long, a man had stood beside the bell in the steeple, the old bell still preserved with its inscription. A boy stood below to tell him when to ring and at last a shout told the result. The boy. clapping his hands, cried out, Ring! ring! and the old bell rang out the birth of a nation. Meanwhile, Ethan Allen, with a small party, had been captured while besieging Fort St. John ' s in Canada. Burgoyne had obtained control of Lake Champlain and Lake George, but his further progress was delayed by want of provisions. Donald, still under command of Colonel Warner, had seized the opportunity to visit his father and sister under cover of darkness. A year older was Donald now since last he had seen them, but still he was the same laughing, care-free lad as when he went away. The hours passed all too quickly, and early dawn found the young patroit bidding farewell to loved ones and hurrying back through the forest toward Bennington. Now, let us follow the fortunes of the British soldier Herwood. After his escape from Fort Frederic he hastened to join General Howe ' s command which was besieging Boston. Later, he was with Burgoyne in his campaign against Fort Schuyler at Albany. Finally, in the summer of 1777, he joined the command of Lieutenant Colonel Baume, sallied forth from Fort Edward with nearly live hun- dred men, Hessians, Tories, and Indians to obtain provisions which were stored by the Americans at Bennington. The Americans had mustered 1,800 strong at Ben- nington under the command of John Stark who had left his farm to lead the forces of the state. Here it was that Stark, when he heard the rattle of musketry, sprang to his saddle and led his men over the hill top toward the advancing Tory party. See men, cried Stark, there are the redcoats. Before night they are ours, or Molly Stark will be a widow. Then the subborn fight began. Stark ' s men fought desperately but were being steadily forced back. Young Donald, fighting in the thick of it side by side with the Indian scout, suddenly grasped the redskin by the arm. Quick. Hiro, that gold coin I gave you. With an impassive face and asking no questions the Iroquois handed the sovereign to Donald. Hastily with the point of his bayonet he scratched a tiny cross on the shining surface and gave it back to the Indian. Quick, Hiro, to Colonel Warner and show him this. He will understand. Reluctant to leave ths conflict yet obedient to the wishes of his friend, the One hundred  ix(ij-seven Indian leaped away toward Bennington. Spying a horse in a field nearby, the scout leaped upon him and without a bridle compelled the spirited animal to carry him swiftly toward the distant camp of Warner. The Colonel himself stood in front of his tent listening to the distant sound of conflict when a foam-flecked horse plunged to a halt before him, and a tall buckskin-clad form leaped from the trembling creature ' s back and handed him the sovereign. One glance at the Indian, a brief scrutiny of the coin, and he turned to an officers near. Gather the men at once and head for Bennington. Young AlcCrae has sent for reinforcements. What ' s the idea of the coin. Colonel? Why didn ' t he tell the Indian? Because, snapped Warner, all redskins look alike to me, and I don ' t trust one of tin in. When we made arrangements, McCrae said he would send yonder scout with the coin on which he would scratch a cross if he needed help. Thus, fresh troops came up to support Stark and his men. Both sides fought desperately as long as daylight lasted. Then Baume retreated to Saratoga, pursued by the Americans. Shortly after the arrival of Warner on the field, young Hcrwood, tired and covered with grimy sweat and with blood flowing from a wound in his shoulder, saw, among the dead and wounded which lay strewn upon the battle-field, a form which looked vaguely familiar. Unmindful of the conflict about him, he dropped to one knee and took Donald ' s head in his arms. The blue eyes fluttered open and a smile curved the boyish lips. ' Ah! Herwood, the British are not cowards after all and I ' ve found that war is not such a joke as I thought. I am not afriad to die, but Betty — The voice faltered then went on, Herwood, you won ' t let pride stand in your way? It was a silly quarrel. You ' ll care for Betty and Dad? Don, old friend. 1 will if she will let me; but she doesn ' t love me. She told me so. She does love you.. She told me she did last week. Oh! You don ' t know girls. They are fickle. They always say what they don ' t mean. The blue eyes were pleading and the voice husky. I ' m going, Herwood. Do you promise? Swiftly the answer came. I promise everything, Donald. Good-bye, old comrade. Thus, his mind at rest, a smile on his lips and with his hand tightly clasped in the hand of an enemy who was yet his dearest friend, young Donald McCrca passed on. It was two weeks later that Herwood managed to reach the home of the McCreas. Dressed in the garb of the American citizen he approached the house along the old path from the shore and found Betty sitting idly on the doorstep. There was a silence then. Betty. She turned a grief-stricken face toward him and answered dully, Yes, Herwood. Betty, where is your father? One hundred sirly-eiijht He has gone on. He thought so much of Donald and news of his death was more than he could bear. He is there. And she pointed to a mound at the edge of the forest. Who brought the news? The Indian. He was with Donald. Betty dear, I, too, was with Donald, and he asked me to Come here. He went like a brave hero and soldier that he was. Betty. Yes, he would. I ' m all alone now. There is no one left. Betty, you have me. I am a patriot now. Traitor, perhaps I am, but 1 have seen the unjust cruelties of the British, the devilish acts of their Indian slaves and I ' m ashamed of my countrymen. You cannot live here alone. Let me take you to Albany where you ' ll be safe, and where I can take care of you. His arms were, about her now, and with a little sob, like a tired child she turned and buried her face on his breast. Less than a week later saw these two standing side by side in a little chapel at Albany while a grey-haired minister per- formed the age-old ceremony. l et us ski)) a few years and we come to June, 1783. The war of the Revolu- tion is ended. On the 30th of November, 1782, a treaty of peace was signed at Paris. America had declared her independence and in a seven-years ' war had established it. Washington, the. Lather of his Country, who had swayed the destinies of a continent, now modestly returned to private life at Mount Vernon. The great struggle was over, and among those who rejoiced were a man and woman residing quietly in a sung little cabin at the edge of the wilderness. As they sat at the doorway in the. gathering dusk and watched the dying sun slowly sink behind the mountains across the lake, frogs piped their evening song in the reeds by the lake and the forest sent forth innumerable night sounds to the two sitting in the twilight. Suddenly, a tall, lean shadow came bounding along the shore, stooped to pick up a smaller shadow, tossed it high in the air. then, setting it 071 his shoulder, came up the bank while a squeal of childish delight rang out on the evening air. The woman spoke. Hcrwood. do you think Donald is perfectly safe with that Indian? Some- times I am afraid. Nonsense, don ' t let the faithful fellow bear you. my dear. He worships the child just as he worshipped our other Donald. Have you noticed how restless he has been lately. Betty? How now Hiro. as the Indian came up the steps and de- posited his burden a laughing, chubby blue-eyed three-year old, And what have you and Don here been up to? The tall, dark-skinned figure stepped back and folded long arms across his chest. The little papoose and Hiro have been watching their brother, the beaver, prepare his tent for the winter. We have seen Wazhusk, the muskrat, and little Oo-oo, the screech owl, and many others of our brothers on the shores of Petow- pargow, the great water. It has been many moons since Hiro left the wigwams of his tribesmen, but e ' er the sun brings us another day he will be well on his journey. One hundred sixty-nine It was but to pay a debt of gratitude that I, son of a chief, came to fightb y the side of Ethan Allen against his tribesmen. You have been a mighty warrior and a true friend, Hiro, answered Herwood. We regret to have you leave us, but always consider our home your home and return whenever you please. It is good, returned the Indian gravely. I have journeyed far and long. It is time I returned to the land of my people; to Mahala, the Indian maiden. Then will my journey be ended. Shaking the hands of Herwood and Betty, he turned and strode down the path to his canoe. Little Donald, sensing that his playfellow was about to leave him, uttered a wail and ran as fast as his sturdy legs could carry him in the wake of the Indian. Those watching, saw the tall Indian bend and lift the little fellow to his shoulder, hold him a minute, then set him down again ; however only Donald and the Indian knew that in the little fellow ' s hand lay the redman ' s choicest possession, the British sovereign, his parting gift to his beloved little playfellow. Hiro waved his hand, stepped into his canoe, shoved off and was soon lost to sight in the gathering darkness. The little fellow with a sob turned and came up the shore-road to his mother, but in his childish sorrow, the coin slipped from his hand and he never knew where it fell. But we know that it lay for over a hundred ' years in the long grass and turf of the post road until found by Mr. Watson in the spring of 1923. Thus, you see it was the generosity of an Indian, the innocence of a little child and the sharp eyes of a Chimney Point farmer which caused this story to be written. [the end] Grace Warner.

He would make one last call— would tell her that he still loved her — would swallow acid and die writhing in her arms. How sorry she would be. With tears blinding his eyes, he put the fated vial in his pocket, rushed down stairs — tripped over his little sister ' s kiddie car and broke, his neck.
