Tlie annual has been designed in illustrations and special features to appeal to the general reader: yet of necessity it has retained the original plan of a class history. Our aim has been to produce a work of merit fit to represent the dignity of the class and the school. We desire to thank those who have assisted in any way with this work. Special thanks are due Dr. Maltby and Professor Moore. To the judicious and untiring efforts of Clay C. Ruff more than to any other person is due the success of this annual.

His ancestry on tlic maternal i«le was Scotch-Irish, while his paternal ancestry was of Knglish descent. He received his early education at Fayetteville Academy, and on a competitive examination won a scholarship in Cornell University, where he graduated in 1870. Ilis life work as an educator was begun in the Ury School of Philadelphia. In 1878 lie was appointed engineer on the survey of the Itoundary line between (iiiatemala and Mexico. In 1880 he was elected to the chair of mathematics and astronomy in St. Lawrence University, New York. lie also held positions in the schools of Beaver Dam, Wis.; St. Paul, Minn., and Toledo, ()hio. His connection with the normal school work of Pennsylvania began in 1881 with his election as Professor of the Natural Sciences in the State Normal School of Indiana. Pa. He held this |� osition until 1889, when he resigned it to ias Maltby accept the principalship of the training department of the State Normal School of Millcrsvillc, Pa. In 1890 he became principal of the State Normal School of Slippery Rock. I’a., and is still tilling this position. As a pupil of Agassiz and tloldwin Smith lie enjoyed unusual advantages in science and history. Possessed of a natural inclination toward scientific research, he imbibed the principles of the teaching of Agassiz and has become a scientist in the truest sense of the word. Investigation of the phenomena of nature by direct ami careful observation forms the test of the accuracy of scientific statements and natural laws.

In last December, for the second time since our graduation. a member of the class of '1� 8 passed from the troubles of this earth to the Great Beyond. To all her classmates, who learned to respect the kindly nature of Mary Carson, her death at Butler during the week of the county institute in last December was an occasion of sorrow, but to those who have been more intimately associated with her it bore a keener grief. _ From the first her record in the schoolroom was distinctive. and many pupils will carry through long and useful lives the impress of her womanly spirit. To her personal friends, her character was one of appealing pureness. It is true, human frailties crept in. but like the gloom of a moonless night thev gave an added brightness to the light of a noble purpose. The silver cord has been loosed and the pitcher has been broken at the fountain. We go out and in. each concerned with his worldly duties; but we are better because we have had such a friend. And when the sound of grinding shall once more be low and our call shall come, we trust that we may leave behind us a record as faithful and as true: and that we, like our departed classmate, may be remembered because we have helped to make the world better and mankind happier. Memorial to Scarcely had recollections of happy school days begun to fade in our memory, when our hearts were saddened by the anouncemcnt of E. O. Muqihy’s death. I .ike many another graduating class we were brought face to face with the question, why must one so useful be taken away when his work scmingly had scarce begun? Beginning life in Fayette County, he went with his parents to Kansas when but a child. Receiving the training of the prairie district school he attended a Kansas State Normal and returned to his native county. Once he returned to Kansas, spending a happy year in his home and teaching school in an adjoining district. Then he returned to Slippery Rock, and the rest of his short career is soon told ami well known to every member of the class of ’98. We remember him as happy, genial, kind, bright in the classroom, always enthusiastic, earnest in Christian work. He faced the future courageously with noble plans and high ideals, and we expected that he would accomplish much. He began as assistant principal oi the West Newton schools and was remarkably successful. His death seems E. O. Murphy most unnatural. Monday morning found him as usual in the school room, suffering, however, front a slight irritation on the temple. I-ater in the day he went to his room anti after enduring the awful pain that accompanies blood-poisoning. death relieved hint on Thursday morning. April 18. 1899. His body lies in the village churchyard at Burns. Kan.; his soul returned to God who gave it: ami the influence of his beautiful life is with us. Well we know his worth: pages of eulogy and resolutions have no place here. On our hearts is the imprint of his life: we find comfort in the fact tltat we are not measured by the things we have done but by the things we would do. In the light of this and of the following we feel that the life of our departed friend was most complete. We regret that his life was so short in years, but we can look up through our tears and thank God that We live in deeds not years: He lives most who thinks most.

With due respect for the dignity and achievements of her sister classes, I submit the following sketch: We were the war class.” During the days preceding our graduation the spirit of war tilled the air:and.as tale after tale of victory drifted in front the front, we held our rallies. ld dory headed our processions and the air rang with cheers. Nor was that all! The entire male membership of the class was burning to go to the front: but, as that was denied them, they are now heading for the front of life's column. I cannot sav that '98 was a handsome class, although some people thought so: neither do we boast of our classroom records, although the faculty still maintains that '98 was one of the best classes ever graduated. '98 was and is aggressive. Front the time the indi- vidual members began to suck their thumbs in the remote corners of Western Pennsylvania, they have all displayed that characteristic. We never had that tired feeling” of I lood's sarsaparilla lame even in Psychology class, although it is said that Dr. Maltby sometimes had. The world tirst became aware of our great amount of push when our light but heroic football team defeated the heavy Junior eleven 12-0 and 0-0. Five years is too short a time to allow the members of a class to attain great distinction, but by reading the biographies of the class you can see that considerable work of no mere local reputation has been done. The girls have distinguished themselves by their marked tendency to establish homes. The boys arc making heroic efforts to scale the ladder of fame. They arc working in widely different fields, hut keep vour eyes on the boys of 'OS! They're going to get thar.” ’98 had the best class yell. They introduced an innovation when they gave it after the programme on Junior Night. It was really ’98 that formed the Westmoreland County branch of the Slippery Rock Normal Alumni, I •19 believe the first permanent branch organized in any county. It was the first class to hold a reunion at the Normal. On commencement evening, '01, about fifty of her illustrious band banqueted in the dining hall, and. after an evening of reminiscences, bid adieu by waking the echoes opec more with their historic class yell. I lere ends my tale. Anything else would trespass upon the individual achievements and. of course, is foreign to this sketch. The class of '98 has retained its unity in a marked degree. On the filth anniversary of their graduation, they will rally once more around the festal board. Jest after jest will be passed, for '98 is brilliant: sentences of power and beauty will llow, for ‘J� S is eloquent: but. as the evening wears away, a sadness will grow like the twilight of a summer evening, because there are vacant chairs. League after league away the dreamy light of the new liorn moon will search for a score of faces we call fronunemories' way; and, seeking for some, will find them not. 50 To My Blonde Mustache Dedicated to a member of Class of 'D8. I'lic sun beyond the hills had sunk One fair October day. When, like a foolish child, I cut My blonde mustache away. Oh. cruel, cruel have 1 been— I'mid sharer of my bliss,— Thou wast companion of inv joys. My friend in each sweet kiss. ' might 1 have thee back again Where late I saw thee rank ; 1 would not cm thee for the wealth ( i Slippery Rock’s large hank. Alas! what’s done must always stand I.ike skeletons of woe; Hut didst thou hang where late thou hung Thou shouldst not surely go. Hi! give me back my blonde mustache. i”cn though they called thee red. I loved thee. Thou wert blonde to me Though lib'lous words were said. Why did I cut thee front my lip With reckless hands away? The sweetest girl deplores thy loss! Woe worth that sorry day! Oh! could 1 twitch thee as of late And stroke thy silken length. So hand should harm thee in thy pride Though fraught with giants' strength. Hut thou art shorn and cast away, My lovely blonde mustache. Thou wert the beauty of my face. And will not come for cash. I sadly toss upon my couch, The weary midnight through. Thou sweetly hid an ugly mouth— As most mustaches do. Farewell! Alas. I rue the day In words I dare not tell. O loved companion of my joys, A long and sad farewell. 51 CORNER OF CAMPUS A Plot That Failed History of the Hallowe'en Party of 1897. I.MOST every graduating class has demonstrated its right to a page in history. Many classes are rcnient-, hered on account of one famous dee l. hut rarely does a class distinguish itself more than once. Strange as this statement may he. it can readily Ik- accounted for by believing one of two things: that classes. like persons, are apt to rest content lt|K n their laurels; or that the energy and resources of the class have been exhausted hv the noteworthy effort. This statement is almost universally true. Ninety-eight, however, was not a class of tlii- description. Always active, pugnacious. demonstrative, resourceful, patriotic, generous, hungry, she calmly claims and easily holds the exalted place among classes that have honored Alma Mater and country. Ninety-eight was a class that could and did supervise herself. i no time in her career, did she find it necessary to ask the advice of the faculty. True, teachers sometimes offered suggestions and made remonstrances; but these habits may have been acquired in dealing with former classes. There never could have been more attractive girls or more studious boys than those who assembled at Slippery Rock in the autumn of '97.• This being the case, is it surprising that the ladies expected attention or is it surprising that the gentlemen devoted the whole time to their studies? Beauty and studiousness arc excellent attributes. but in tin- instance they were the causes of a most unfortunate dissension, the true account of which follows. When the Hallowe'en party was announced, some of the students, who were socially inclined, remembered that in past years it had been customary to escort the ladies to the place of entertainment. Owing to the secluded life the boys had been leading, this fact created great consternation. However, realizing that society had a claim on them, many secretly resolved to approach maidens of encouraging mien and request the honor of becoming their gallant knights. Now certain ladies, who had not been escorted to church, lectures and recitations a they knew their merits demanded, counciled together to encourage the innocent youth to request their company, and then to deliver the solar plexus blow. known in high society as “The ' Johnny Coulter's Anecdotes, I kc 108. f Confession of a Bachelor, J’agc 17. r,r Miiicn. Thai this union might he invincible, the ladies considered that they should he as members of one family, hence they styled themselves the Six Silent Sisters. This stirring family soon visited the different ladies of the dormitory, trying to convince them of the justness and greatness of their plan. “We will show the boys. said they, that existence without ns is a dreary thing indeed. The gentlemen now began to visit the drawing room in the Ladies' Dormitory. From this station the young man would send a messenger for the lady of his choice. When she appeared and the business had been nervously stated, she would smile sweetly and triumphantlv and say that she was so sorry • • she expected a friend from home. Perhaps the young man. on account of his inexperience and distress, would falter. Please don't mention it: it really doesn’t matter. Then he would rush f : the door, hurry to his room, fling himself into a chair, an ! give way to his feelings. This is a true picture of the experience of many a young man during that eventful week. By the tir-t refusal some became gloomy and cynical, while others seemed to be lured on by the fascinating game. Even as the fool'sh fish return again to nibble at a hook that experience has shown to In dangerous, so they returned to the drawing room and sent for others. One young man. it is said, sent for sixteen. He did not send for the seventeenth because •“A Sister's Diary. Phk« I TO®. it was now time to start for the party. The party was a success. One of the features was a cake walk, the prize being won by Miss Helen Hamm. Dr. Maltbv made the presentation speech, the main thought being interwoven with an appropriate quotation from Shake pcare: This cake. Miss Helen, may be said to be like yotirsel. A great prize in a small package. A sentiment with which we all agreed. Ten o'clock came too soon and Doctor, with nmnv blushes and protest declined to postpone the hour of leaving. Before closing we would like to relate a significant in eiilcnt. It was the privilege of the writer to lie engaged iii a game of crokinolc with three most estimable ladies. While thus employed, one of the young men, whose offers had been scorned, approached the table to watch the game. The young lady opposite noted his coming, without a change of countenance ami apparently without anv emotion. However, she was deeply moved, and reaching her little foot under the table, tapped a vigorous Marconian message on our NO. !' Not knowing the alphabet, we could not translate, and simply mention that the message consisted of mam dots ami dashes, represented by weak and strong pressures. She thought that the message was being impressed upon the foot of the lady at our side, and great must have been her wonder when she received no answering kicks or knowing looks. It is the historian's business to follow the events with which he is dealing, and note their effects. With this explanation we go beyond the time of the party and speak the revelations that followed.

Now a goodly number of ladies thought that the gentlemen had not been treated according to Ladies' Home Journal rules, so they relented, giving much good advice; they also furnished aid and comfort to the despondent ones. The Sisters Six. noticing these desertions from their ranks, gave up the contest and retreated to their tower, where they vegetated until their graduation; while the other ladies exerted themselves to remove from their neighbors’ minds the blight of humiliation. The young man. seeing for the first time that there were such interesting and instructive In-ings associated with him, threw aside with derision the dry rhetoric which he had once lover I. and devoted himself to the delightful task of addressing original, ungrammatical, and unrhetorieal sentences to his Kliza Jane. Psychology now became a practical subject, as by its mysterious laws the practical student Could account for perplexing and intricate statements, made to him by his fair one.

OLD MODEL BUILDING Scriptural Account of the Burial of Hon. Marcus. A. Hanna 1 () V it came to pass in tin- reign of Albert Elias Maltby. chief of the fathers of normal schools, that an event transpired which must be chronicled here, and these be the words relating thcre-' unto: In the fifth month of the year'98 and upon the first day thereof word was brought to the Normalitcs by High Priest Brown that a disgraceful act had been conmiitttcd down in the laud of Edom. (Now Edom is a term used to designate that portion of compact and contiguous territory which bordered upon the west side i that place whereon the Normal warriors had pitched their tents.) It was early in the morning and the Normal hosts were assembling to partake of the iKf-io fnwtcnii cl fabtili which had been prepared for them when the High Priest spake unto them these words: Turn ye and betake yourselves down into Edom. for there hanging to a telephone wire is the body of lion. Marcus A. Ilanna. Other things have been done which disgrace both our Moved President and the nation's flag. Doth not such new- cause your blood to boil within you and your spirits to become embittered against the Edomites?” Then the warriors cried out vociferously: “Yea, our blood doth boil and our wrath doth wax hot. Accordingly, having blown upon their trumpets, the Normal warriors gravitated slowly down the stone pathway and entered the land of Edom. When they had gathered about the place over which swung the carcass of our Uncle Mark they made a loud noise and said: Show us the men who hath done this evil. Then one of the Normalitcs said: “Look ye towards the entrance of the livery barn. Lo! when the eyes of all were turned thither they beheld a row of Edomites ami their faces, which were usually red. were now white like snow and their knees smote one against another. Now the thickness of the row was an handbreadth. The Edomites, fearing the multitudes, fled to the mountains crying: It would be better for us were millstones hanged about our necks and we were cast into the depths of Wolf Creek. The Normalitcs then tenderly lowered the hotly, and. placing it upon a stretcher, began their journey out of the land of Edom. Now their order upon the inarch was as follows: First, the High Priest: then the four soldiers. Aiken. Ruff, Potter, and Martin, bearing the corpse; next came the Normal hosts, with slow and stiffen tread, their Panamaless heads bowed low. Coming out of Edom, the High Priest led the army up across Maltby's Plain towards that corner of the camping ground known as levers' Haven.” Now this corner was rich in the fruit of the 61 land and many trees of forbidden fruit grew thereon. Under one of these it was decided to bury the dead with the honors of war. Suddenly the eyes of all were turned towards the camp from which was seen coming the seen too oft' form of (ialba the Prophet. Rushing wildly out among the warriors he cried with a loud voice and said ' And who hath caused the Xormalites to sin? let thee into camp, each one to his bedchamber, and prepare yourselves for the services in the sanctuary. Rut the Xormalites hardened their necks and said: Nay. Prophet (ialba. yet a little time in which to perform this sad duly and we return in peace to our bedchambers.'' So in about the space of an hour there had been dug a grave. By this time all the girls who were under the care of Matron Glenn had also gathered about and with sorrowful faces were peering into that yawning puncture which was to contain that form so dear to all. (Now these girls were comely maidens and were indeed beautiful to look upon.) Having wrapjtcd the beloved dag about the dead Marcus, the warriors lowered him into the cold grave, the High Priest spake a few words of comfort and exhortation and the last sad rites were over. A headstone was erected that it might be a witness to all Xormalites that life is indeed uncertain. Xow the people mourned for Mark that day; and at eventide a guard was placed near the grave, for it was rumored abroad that the Edomites would endeavor to invade the I Normal camp under cover of darkness and steal away the body. After the temple services in the evening, all those who were able to bear arms assembled in the bedchambers on the first floor oi the main camp ami awaited the sound of the trumpet, which was to he given if trouble arose. During that night no man either took tT his garments or closed tus eyes in shunlier. Now about the beginning oi the fourth watch there were those of the warriors who conspired together to do evil against their brethren. Because the Kdomitcs had not appeared, they were afraid lest the night should pass ami no stirring event transpire. So they said one to another: lie-hold. we will raise a false alarm ami lead the Normalitcs in pursuit after an imaginary foe fter arrangements were completed, soldiers Fullerton and I loon approached the grave as though thev led a hostile army Suddenly Stamm, the I land sonic, blew upon a mm's born: Zeigler. bis brother. yelled a long yell: Totter, the Affable, took a bulldog from his pocket and caused him to hark loudly seven times, and the remainder busied themselves in making noise by various methods. Then the main camp was a scene of .great confusion. Each window thereof poured forth a stream of Normal warriors until the multitude was so great that no man could number it. The chase then began. Adams, the Indies’ Delight, led a force up the mountain side in the direction of Butler; Voorhces. the Lion Hearted, 52 made a sally over a barbed wire fence and, with a company of Xormalites. got lost in a nearby forest: Kill Moore, of Hard Cider fame, ran the enemy into a fence corner and punished him severely. Thompson, adopted son of I lamm. and iraham. the Knight of the High Collar, thrusting their spears through a dead oak tree, cried with a loud voice and said. Kehold! the Edomites are no more, and still the battle went on. After the slaughter had continued till near the break of day and all the Kdomites had been slain or scared to death, the Normal it cs betook themselves back to camp. Many and great were the accounts given on the journey homeward of how the Xormalites had prevailed against the forces of Edom. Adams, the 1-adics' Delight, and Voor-lices. the Lion Hearted, thought it well to guard the grave till daybreak and as no one said ••nay.” they covered them--elves with a quilt and sat beneath a tree till the night was past. After returning to camp, those who had conspired together betook themselves to their bedchambers and stutTed pillows into their mouths that their laughter might not be heard. And it came to pass after many days that the Normal hosts, learning that they had been fooled, hid their faces and wept, ior the trouble was greater than they could bear. 63 A QUJKT AND PICTURESQUE NOOK AT THE HEAD 01 TUB ••NARROWS.

Olive Pearl Armstrong 1330 Palo Alto Street. Allegheny. Pa. If the laltorious studies of our senior year ever worried Pearl Armstrong much, few of her classmates ever knew it: she always seemed bright and cheerful; such people are remembered longest. She could adapt herself to circumstances and did not allow dormitory life to have any sombre aspect fbr her: the girls knew where she roomed, and doubtless the lady teachers did too.

Good goods are always done up in small packages”; this is what she will say if you tell her that she is small. What she lacks in avoirdupois she makes up :n energy—not potential but kinetic. In other words she is usually on the jump ' with no time to enjoy poor health or get the blues. She lias done primary work in Beaver Falls for five consecutive years. She is ever active in church work—Sunday School in particular; she studied drawing in Geneva College. She is sunshine personified and if around and you don’t know it—well, the fault will be yours.

He will make their home near Evans City and will lead the free and independent life of a farmer. Kittle Kenneth will soon be able to help in the fields and do errands for his mamma. 73 T Ludla Agnes Berryhill Hickory, Pa. After nil. our class history can tell but little of what lias actually iiap|H'itcd during the last five years. To say what we do, where we teach, visit, or attend school is 1ml to point to the shadow of the real life. The trials, loss of friends, hours of suffering, hours of pleasure, little daily triumphs or defeats whereby we rise or fall, make up the life. None renders a more helpful influence among her associates than l.uella Berryhill. She has seen more dark days than some of the rest of us; she began her second years' teaching in a school near home, but her health would not permit her to continue. She made a trip to Toronto. Canada, and has spent some time at the popular summer resort. Cambridge Springs. During three years in Hickory Academy she was laying a good foundation for her norma' training. Her many good qualities call forth for her kind words from everyone—hence, our hot wishes arc hers. Emory E. Beck Emory K. Beck. Knox.

Ah, well. let the future be dark ; the present demands our attention; to live tliat well is sufficient. Mary Bingham—McCullough Chicora. Pa. As a little girl she remembers some excitement in the little village of Slippery Rock about a wonderful school to be. From her home she watched the erection of the large buildings and doubtless in later times saw what fine kindling wood they made. As a little girl in school, she saw the one teacher oi the year give way to the many (good, bad and indifferent senior teachers). But the changes meant for her a score of opportunities which otherwise she might never have had. Why don't all the young people of a school town appreciate such? Besides the regular work in the Model and Normal Departments, she has done much extra work in Greek. Fainting and Elocution, winning one Demorest silver medal, fter teaching two years, the “end all of so many of our girls was her fate too -hence the added name above. She was married on October 15. 1901. to Louis L. McCullough, who is in the oil business. But she is still teaching one pupil—her little boy Fierce, aged ten months. 77 Margaret K.

She is known to her classmates by the name of Elizabeth Christy. She taught two years in Liberty Township, Mercer County, received her permanent certificate and then decided it wasn't the kind she wanted—that a marriage certificate would be more desirable, and therefore, on May 1. 1902, she married Mr. T. E. Jack. Now she is at the end of her troubles.—the first end, perchance— having reached the true ideal of womanhood.—to be queen of one home. Doubt-less amid the pleasures and vexations of her simple domestic duties, pleasant memories of school clays spent here and of the two years in Grove City College, crowd in upon her mind, and she decides that school life yields much more than it pays in dollars and cents. Hrs. Charles T. Culp Vandergrlft. Ha. Yes. she is one of our classmates, but you see she has lost her name entirely. Hut who doesn't remember Millie Christy? Fate plays us some queer tricks sometimes, ami perchance not till long after do we understand. For instance, Miss Christy was elected before commencement to a position in the Freeport Schools: another classmate was applying for the principalship of the school at the same time ami she, ever true to her friends, was anxious for him to be elected. Well, instead. Prof.Charles T.Culp was elected, and—well.you know—look at the name above. The defeated candidate now thinks the gods had something to do with it. Don't you ? She proved a most successful teacher in Freeport for three years. She was married June 18. 1902; Mr. Culp is now one of the leading business men of thrifty Vandergrift. Here goes some more rice. Happy girl! happier woman! 86 Alma C.

Ra During the «lay$ of trial in the winter and spring’s terms of our senior year, when we were struggling with cold hard facts in Geometry, Physics, etc., the idea that there was a poet among us never dawned: not till the class day performers were chosen did we know it: since that time we have become more assured, for the subject of these lines still writes at times and has had published a little volume —the result of spare moments. She has been teaching near home every year since graduation, the last year in the Grove City Schools. She attended Grove City College one summer term.

A visit to Chicago, and omnner vacations spent in some country home or in camp have added some variety to life-—otherwise somewhat monotonous to the average school teacher.
