FISHER TO We, the Class of 1916 Dedicate THIS LANTHORN In Recognition of His Great Loyalty to the College and His Lasting Friendship for the Students. Page Seven GEORGE F. FISHER, PH.D. A.M. A Biographical Sketch N dedicating this number of the Lanthorn to Dr. Fisher, the class of Nineteen Sixteen feels that they are indeed honoring them- selves. Dr. Fisher was born at Kreamer, Pa., January 17th, 1869. Being reared in a home animated with a truly Christian spirit, both his parents being pious, God fearing folk, from his youth he was day by day laying the foundation for his future life, characterized as it is by his activity, and interest in all movements that concern the welfare of man. Having secured his early education in the district schools of Snyder Coun- ty, he entered Missionary Institute (now Susquehanna University), gradu- ating therefrom in 1888. The course of the institution extending only to the end of the Sophomore year, after teaching one year, he entered the Junior class at Bucknell University, where he graduated with honors in 1891, having the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy conferred upon him. As a post-graduate student of Illinois Wesleyan University, he secured the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. After graduation from Bucknell University he taught district school for two years. The next year he was elected principal of the Friends ' Normal In- stitute at Rising Sun, Md., which position he filled very successfully for a period of two years. In the Fall of 1892 he was called to the Department of Natural Sciences of Bucknell Academy. The zeal and earnestness with which he performed his work soon won for him the respect and confidence of stu- dents and Faculty. While filling this position the call came to him, in 1896, to become the head of the Department of Natural Sciences at Susquehanna University. After much deliberation and prayerful consideration, he decided to accept the call and cast his fortunes and interests with this young struggling institution — his Alma Mater. Time has proven that herein lay his future field of activity. No doubt, in his mind, there was a vision of a Greater Susquehanna and to-day as never before the vision is becoming a reality. With his characteristic determination and devotion, he set to work to make his department a vital factor and potent force in the up-building of the insti- Page Eight tution. It was during these early years of his professorship at Susquehanna that the now abandoned Chemical and Physical laboratory was erected. His was the guiding hand in the arrangement and equipment of the building. Each year brought with it advanced steps and improvement in the various courses of the University, but nowhere has there been a fuller development than in the Department of Natural Sciences. The laboratory soon became crowded and inadequate to meet the increasing needs of the department; for years, although handicapped and over-crowded, the work was carried on until in 1912, when with the dedication of the new Charles Steele Science Hall, even brighter and larger fields were opened to this department. This building stands not only as a monument to those, who, through their generosity, made it possible, but to him who with unceasing toil and sacrifice has ever labored to make the study of the Sciences of the greatest possible benefit to the students. Dr. Fisher has been Curator of the Museum of Susquehanna University since 1896; has been President of the Society of Natural Sciences since 1898; Superintendent of Trinity Lutheran Sunday School for the past fourteen years ; he has served on the Board of Health of Selinsgrove, and also other noteworthy positions have been filled very capably by him. That there is more in this life than mere fame or wealth has truly been manifested by his devotion and loyalty to his Alma Mater, for notwithstand- ing the flattering offers he has received from time to time, chief of which was the one received during the past year to become the head of the Department of Sciences of Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg, he has declined all of these, preferring rather to remain with us, much to the gratification of the students, Faculty, Alumni and friends of Susquehanna. A man of the finest Christian type, he lives his life among the students — where day by day there goes out from him that something which cannot do other than influence those who come into personal contact with him, to live for those things which tend to develop true Christian manhood. May Dr. Fisher live many years and thus be enabled to carry on his noble work among the students of Susquehanna — the institution he has served so faithfully, loyally and unselfishly during the past years. The above sketch would not be complete should we fail to mention an im- portant event in Dr. Fisher ' s life. — His marriage on December the 29th, 1898, to Miss Lilly L. Yale, of Slattington, Pa. Tage Nine THE PRESENT SCHOOL YEAR USQUEHANNA has entered a new era in her history as an institution. The additions in buildings and equipment during the past few year- have added ma- terially to her efficiency, and have given to he r an opportunity for greater work. The Fall Term opened with the largest enrollment of students that our insti- tution has ever known. The college classes alone, almost reach the one hundred mark, besides an increase in our Preparatory, Business, Music, and Theological Departments. Not only have we increased in numbers but the quality of our student body has kept pace with the quantity. Most of our students are here to work and to make the best possible preparation for life ' s activities. We have very few failures and the class aver- ages are usually high. It is also gratifying to notice that many improvements have been made in all lines of our college activities. We have changed the old monthly Susquehanna. that was too antiquated to meet our needs, to a four-page weekly with all the up-to-date news of college life. The Editorial Staff is to be commended on this venture — to publish a week- ly paper full of up-to-date news is no mean task. This is but another step toward that Greater Susquehanna — the dream and desire of every true and loyal alumnus and friend. Athletics have more than kept apace with the other progressive movements at Sus- quehanna. By a majority vote of the student body football was again introduced after a lapse of four years, and under the excellent leadership of Captain Swoope and the efficient training of Coach Kelchner. the team made a creditable showing in all the six games of their initial season. The basketball season was successful, though some very close games were lost by our team. The victories over Bucknell and Gettysburg were the crowning events of the season, while the spectacular playing of tie Alumni at times thrilled the specta- tors and at other times tilled them with merriment. Manager Harpster arranged for a strong schedule for the baseball team, and con- sidering numerous handicaps during the early part of the season, the team worked well for Susquehanna on the diamond. The most encouraging feature of our athletics is the absence of professionalism. Our athletes are all bona fide students in regular standing, who play for the love of the game and the honor of their Alma Mater. That Susquehanna is gaining advanced standing in the world of sports was proven to the student body when George M. Graham, Sporting Editor of the Philadelphia North American, after witnessing the defeat of Lafayette ' s speedy quintet, lectured to a capacity house in Seibert Hall on the subject of Sport ' s Science. Our Young Men ' s and Young Women ' s Christian Associations are large and flour- ishing organizations, and have aided very materially in the spiritual uplift of our student body. The One-Day-Campaign-For-$500 for the equipment of the new Y. M. C. A. rooms was indeed an accomplishment of which any student, friend, or Alumnus of Susque- hanna can justly feel proud. It places Susquehanna in a class of her own among the smaller colleges of the State. The evangelistic campaign by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. infused a new spiritual life into the entire student body. Our honored President, Dr. Aikens, reports that numerous contributions have been received and asserts that the erection of a new Boys ' Dormitory is near at hand. Tin- various concerts, recitals, lectures, social receptions, and plays have very ad- mirably met our social needs, and every student has had sufficient opportunity to de- velop the social side of his life. In every way Susquehanna has entered into larger things. A new life has been injected into our college activities and a strong devotion to our Alma Mater grips the heart of every loyal student. Susquehanna truly looks into the future with hopefulness. Her visions have been enlarged and her usefulness extended. With a location second to none in Pennsylvania, in beauty, in healthfullness, and in convenience; with build- ings well equipped with modern scientific and artistic appliances: with a student body that is loyal and true; — our Alma Mater can hope for unequalled possibilities in the near future.

Selinsgrove Millersville Bedford Reading Page Fourteen :■ jjflfjkdjjf — SELINSGROVE HALL HIS building, the birthplace of Susquehanna, was erected largely through the generosity of the people of Selinsgrove and vicinity. For many years, from 1858 to 1894, it was the only building on the campus, serv- ing as dormitory, recitation rooms, society halls, etc. Various changes have been wrought in this old building. With the erec- tion of Gustavus Adolphus Hall the recitation rooms, society halls and sev- eral other departments of the school were transferred to the new building. Dur- ing the past year changes were made, to meet the requirements and necessities of our larger number of students, chief of which was the remodeling of a quar- ter section of the first floor for the use of the Young Men ' s Christian Associ- ation as a Reading and Social room. With the exception of this part, the building is used as a Boys ' dormitory. As such it is crowded, a number of the students having been given rooms which had been fitt ed up for them in the old Chemical Laboratory. We are looking forward to the day when we will have a new dormitory for the boys as this is indeed one of our greatest needs at the present time. Selinsgrove Hall will, however, stand throughout the years as a monument to those who fostered and cared for her through her early struggles. Page Fifteen B GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS HALL L ' ILT in 1894 to meet the ever increasing needs and demands of the in- stitution this building stands as a monument to those who saw for Mis- sionary Institute a future far more brilliant than her past and thus took the initiative in preparing to meet these needs. With the erection of this building a new era was opened in the history of the institution for no longer was the name Missionary Institute applied to her ; from that day Susquehanna University took her place among the leading institutions of higher learning in the state and nation. On the first floor is found the College Chapel, Registrar ' s Office and Reci- tation rooms. The Library occupies considerable space on the second floor. Here are to be found the current magazines and papers together with the works of masters in Literature embracing over 12,000 volumes. The Theological Chapel and dormitories for the theological students to- gether with the societv halls, and art studio are also located in this building. I ' :iL r ' ' Sixteen SEIBERT HALL HIS building, named in honor of Mr. Samuel Seibert, through whose generosity its erection was made possible is conceded to be the most beautiful building on the University campus. The School of Business occupies a large room in the basement, the balance of which is divided into small rooms for the use of the students in music as practice rooms. The first floor contains a spacious parlor for the young ladies, the studios of the teachers in the Conservatory, the recital hall and Lewers dining hall. The second and third floors are used as dormitories for the young ladies. The building is very attractive in its appointments, the ladies ' parlor with its open fireplace is very cheerful and home-like so that every young lady who resides in this building is immediately made to feel at home in her new sur- roundings at college. Page Seventeen ALUMNI GYMNASIUM USQUEHANNA can boast of one of the finest gymnasiums of its kind in the state. The main floor has an open area of 3,600 square feet fully equipped with the most approved apparatus. A gallery is built around the entire build- ino- on the most scientific plan and provided with Robert ' s concave running track of 26 7-10 laps to the mile. The Physical Director ' s office, furnished with a full set of anthropometric instruments for physical examinations, is also located on this floor adjoining the main floor. The basement can be entered from the main floor by an open stairway or from without by the regular entrance. Here is located the baseball cage, 15 x 90 feet, well lighted and ventilated, adapted to the winter training of baseball men. A large locker room, together with needle and spray shower baths complete the equipment of this building. The Athletic Field, which contains the Gridiron, Baseball Diamond and Track, is in easy access to the gymnasium, so as to be convenient for the athletes.

It is a building of fine proportions, having fine archi- tectural lines, the design and workmanship being a credit to the architect and builder and an honor to Susquehanna. It contains three stories above the basement. The basement is equipped for the study of Mechanics, Physics and Qualitative Chemistry. It also con- tains a fully equipped work shop and dark room. On the first floor are located a large lecture room which will seat two hun- dred students, and a large chemical laboratory accommodating fifty-six stu- dents at a time. The Professor of Natural Sciences has his office located on this floor. On the second floor are four large rooms aside from an instructor ' s room and storage room. The Biological and Geological rooms, fully equipped for the study of these sciences, together with two recitation rooms take up the balance of the space on this floor. The Museum, containing many interesting and valuable specimens is situ- ated on the third floor. The building is equipped with modern apparatus throughout, giving to the students of Susquehanna every opportunity to study the various branches embodied in the Natural Sciences. FALL Page Tw.

Numbers, how- ever, do not mark its only increase. Spirit and interest for the Old School has been awakened, and from the remote corners of the earth there frequently comes to us messages from former Susquehanna students. Our activities are more and more becoming their activities. The Y. M. C. A., Athletics, our weekly Susquehanna, and funds for new improvements all have felt the beneficent aid of our loyal Alumni. The call for aid has been sent out quite frequently in the past few years, but our Alumni have not been found wanting, — they are on the job, always ready and willing to do whatever they can to help make a greater Susquehanna. Then, too, we who are yet students are spurred on to action by the achievements which are being won in the big world by Susquehanna men. Ministers are leading their profes- sion in its strife against sin. Lawyers are successfully pleading their cases. Doctors are bringing health and happiness to those who have broken down under the strain and stress of toil. Statesmen and Congressmen are making laws for the people. Teachers are ex- pounding their knowledge in the battle of education. In every walk of life, Susquehanna men are doing big things, all of which are radiations from the original source of their suc- cess — their beloved Alma Mater.

Gross Class History ITHIX our grasp lies the goal which lias required four long years V TT of earnest toil and endeavor for us to attain — graduation. As we VV reflect upon the events of mutual interest which transpired dur- ing these years of association, memory reveals many things we might have done but failed to do. however, any regrets that would seek a place in our reminiscences are soon put to flight by the remembrance of noble achievements accomplished, of battles fought andvictories won. In our life as a class we have encountered many obstacles in our road to advancement. Ere we had ceased to reflect the youthful collegians ' custom- ary verdancy, we began to advocate progress. Even as in the world where the author of new movements has invariably been subjected to unjust criti- cism, so have we often been the object of censure and undue antagonism when we attempted the introduction of new principles in college life. Nevertheless, we have never deviated from our early progressive ideas, and as we pass out from the loved portals of our Alma Mater, our prayer is that we may have done somi ' ig during our short stay here which will in a measure compen- sate our collt ;.e for the countless opportunities she has given us. Upon our ent into college we boasted of a class thirty in number — one of the largest that ever entered this institution. Unfortunately, four years of varied experiences have brought with them a changing personnel in class roll, so that as we near our Commencement of life ' s work we find but twenty- five members rallying around our chosen standards. As Freshmen we decided to keep before us continually the motto. Abeunt studia in mores. Now, as a graduating class we feel certain that the high standard of intellectuality which we have maintained throughout our college course is but a criterion to the type of character which our life of daily asso- ciation has fostered in us. Indeed, the class of 1915 has assisted materially in raising the standards of many college activities. Our contribution to ath- letics, oratory, music and science will be remembered long after we have been lost in life ' s busy malestrom. Happy have been the days which constituted our sojourn here. But an- other day is fast approaching: a day when we must meet as a class for the last time: when we separate to go forth in the world, each as a live power, for o-ood ' or evil. May our standard of excellence continue to advance! May our future history be a record of noble deeds and charitable actions!

And lifted the huge and shaggy heads Of the Alps and the Rockies Above the sunny vine-yards of France And over the restless bosom of the mighty deep. To act as a grim a nd silent watch for centuries to come He produced the linal work of his master hand. — The human race. After being placed in the garden spot of His high purpose The progenitors of man committed the unpardonable sin. And for countless ages the sun. moon, and stars. Have viewed from their lofty heights The successive falls and resultant rises Of haughty rulers and disobedient nations Until now within the pale of civilization. Past history serves as an object lesson Of the folly of the wise and the wisdom of the foolish. Through the fatal blunders of generation upon generation The following sons must learn the proper path to tread. Theories. Utopian in their nature. With advice, philosophies, and doctrines. May be given by many whose ambitions are high. Until time rolls back as an open scroll. Yet the units of Christian and Pagan nations Must choose their own road. And by their life and actions Determine whether eternity shall be spent in realms of bliss Or in never-ending torment with the Satanic host below. Four short years are but a jot on God ' s great calendar. Yet in this given time Waterloos must be met and St. Helenas endured. Bloody sweat may ooze from troubled brow-. And crowns of victory may rest upon worthy heads. But in this swift flowing current of life. Be not swallowed up by the crashing waves of wrong. — But so live that when thy summons come to join The innumerable caravan that moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not like the quarry slave at night Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave. Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch. About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. Page Thirty-three |il ilia a j - ■d .d i it- ( I I i til |g ' SUB ' SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY TEN years after the graduation of our class from dear old Susquehanna I was called to the city on business for the Lyceum Bureau of which I was a member. I had finished by business and was comfortably settled in a hotel. Wishing for something to do I began to read a city paper. After several minutes of reading I came upon a paragraph with this headline: Educational Meeting to be Addressed by City Superintendent of Schools, J. Frank Faust. I at once called for a city directory and after finding his address, set out to call on him. When I arrived there, to my surprise I found him with another of my former class-mates, Ralph Harpster. I learned that he. too, had become an educator in the same city, being the principal of a high school. As was perfectly natural, we fell to discussing the location and professions of the other members of our loyal class of ' 15. Ralph. I asked, do you know where Bill Gortner is and what he is doing? Yes, indeed, he replied. Bill has made chemistry his profession, and is in the West at present, being employed as chief chemist in a large copper mine. Mr. Faust then inquired about Deenie Phillips. Imagine his surprise when I told him that Deenie had become a suffragette and was working in the interest of the cause. And what about Gross, I asked. Oh, don ' t you know that Gross has become a scientific farmer and has a model farm v ' Xot a stump(f) can be found on the entire place ex cept in the kitchen. And what is Whit doing I then learned that Whitmer had become famous in sporting circles as one of the country ' s champion runners. Do you know what has become of Harkins? asked Harpster. Yes. I answered. I do. John is in the ministry, as you know. He is the pastor of his home church, and seems to be doing a fine work there. I visited his wife a few weeks ago. who was formerly one of Susquehanna ' s co-eds. While there I learned that Lester Shannon had become a nerve specialist. He is now in Europe pursuing advanced work. So he has really become a doctor, exclaimed Faust, and do you know anything about ' Abe ' Miller? No, I answered, I have not heard of him for a long time. Here we were interrupted by Harpster saying. Why. I saw an article about Abe just to-day. He is pastor of a church in Somerset County, but in connection with that he is doing a great work for tin- Anti-Saloon League. The next one of our class-mates to be discussed was Kline. of whom I had heard nothing for several years. Faust then handed me a bulletin of our Alma Mater and I read that a new German teacher had recently been elected, who was no other than our worthy class-mate, Ralph Waldo Emerson Kline. Another name caught my attention. It was that of another class-mate. Harold Follmer. He, too, was among the able instructors of Susquehanna, being the assistant teacher of the Science Department. By the way. two weeks ago we had a meeting of the State Educational Society here, and one of the prominent speakers was John Bangson. said Harpster. He spent the night with me. He is employed by the state to speak at Mich meetings. He is quite famous for his lecture on ' Methods of Teaching. ' Bangson told me that he had met Jesse Lubold on the train only a few weeks ago. What is Jesse doing? I asked. Why. I believe Bangson said he had recently been elected to the office of county super- intendent? -aid Faust, and I ' m sure he will be a good one. as he has the traits of a leader. Ye-, there were several of our members who had ability along that line. Cy Ard was especially noted for that. He i- now the Rev. Wilson Ard and is pastor of a Page Thirty-four large church in the state of New York. His church is known on account of the splendid choir as well as forceful sermons by himself, taking advantage of the traits of leader- ship with which he was endowed, directs the choir, and obtains splendid results. Our class has quite a number of ministers, has it not? There are in addition to those men- tioned. Deacon Brown, Miggs, (Watts) and Danowsky, said Harpster. Yes, I an- swered, it has. Do you know where those boys are preaching? Well, said Faust, Miggs is preaching in Yeagertown, but when I saw him not long ago, he said lie wished to change pastorates. He said that he is getting tired of preaching to empty benches and to sleeping people, so he thought he would apply for another charge. Brown is the successful pastor of a charge in Port Royal, and says he has no desire to go elsewhere. Danowsky was the pastor of bis home church in Mazeppa, but since he has spent sev- eral years in such a ' Christian environment ' he realizes that there is a great deal of work to be done. He has gone upon the lecture platform and is now quite in demand, as he is famed as an orator. Harpster asked if 1 knew anything of the whereabouts of our auburn-haired class-mate, Betty Rynearson, but I had to confess I did not know where she is. And what about our care-free class-mate Lauver? He it seems had realized that a call was coming to this country from China for teachers, so Guy went to China. He is now engaged in teaching, and is also doing missionary work, for which he is much loved by the natives. Another care-free class-mate was Frey. Where is he located? ' You may be sure? said Faust, He is working in York County. He is in the Y. M. C. A. service, and has done a great deal for the young men and boys, who respect him quite highly. Did you know, I asked, that Frank Haiston bad now become a judge in the Supreme Court? No, said Faust, but I am sure that he will be successful, and will soon go higher in political circles. Oh, I said, I have one more member to inquire about. Where is Bennage? Both answered at once, saying. He is our most successful member. He spends his time teaching in a school about ten miles from nowhere, and we believe, will spend the rest of his years in the same place. Happening to glance at the clock, I saw that several hours had gone by and that I had missed my train. Then, said the boys, let us all go to the opera, which we did. Soon after arriving there, the star of the company appeared, who was 110 other than our old friend Betty. She sang several selections, holding the entire audience spell- bound by her remarkable voice. Of ci urse, we saw her after the concert and through her learned of our trio, the Weaver sisters. Catharine had followed her natural desire, and was a teacher in an Orphans ' Home. Alice was living in Selinsgrove. caring for Prof. Follmer, Jr., the Assistant Science teacher, and Gertrude, too, was happy in the field of matrimony. She always did like to be around streams and a Streamer in par- ticular. Having learned of these friends I departed, and although I was several hours late in leaving the city, I felt that the time had been very profitably spent.

Old Xeptune gave us a merry chase But the good ship braved the storm. A Sophomore barge tried to stop our pace And it foundered, much forlorn. Our second year on the bounding main.

This young maiden with whose face everybody is familiar, comes from the place where the doughnuts grow. She lives in the country where all the good eats come from, as cer- tain of us know, for Ethel is not stingy with her delicacies. The doughnuts that she brings us are of an extraordinarily fine quality, the very sight of them being enough to make one ' s eyes pop out of his head. Ethel, like the rest of us, doesn ' t always come to class, but as a rule she is pretty faithful. Her smiling face is usually to be seen in all kinds of weather, even though the way from home be long and muddy. She is an adept at bluffing in classes. We don ' t know how she does it ; perhaps her smiling face so captivates the profs that they forget whether she answers their questions or not. As for her loves and hates, we don ' t know much about them, but we suppose she has some. There aren ' t any visible manifesta- tions of such affairs, but. inasmuch as she isn ' t with us very much, but spe nds the greater part of her time elsewhere, we come to the conclusion that she keeps such affairs to herself, as all wise maidens should.

Tbou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear. Upon gazing out over our campus in the spring of 1912, in the midst of the green ver- dure, we were scarcely able to discern this youth as he stood, fixed as it were to the spot, looking about him as if he had been aroused from sleep to find himself in the midst of new- surroundings. As he stood gazing he gave utterance to some very peculiar sounds, but it was not until we learned to know Baalam better, that we discovered their true significance and could account for their peculiarity. Baalam is a horseman of no mean ability, and when riding Latin (his favorite steed), he can easilv go the trot. in fact that is his usual gait; however, he is equally proficient at cribbing, be it in the class or exam. Reader, do not judge this young man too severely; he is a staunch advocate of the Darwin theory and we must confess that there is a marked improvement in Baalam as we look at him in contrast with the Baalam of old. Balaam is an ardent and loyal Moose and there is no doubt in the minds of any of his friends but that he will be successful in his chosen profession, for he will be admirably fitted to buck up against the cold, cruel world, and should this method fail he can mount his favorite (?) steed and ride.

Dolly is one of our most gifted musicians : not only his fellow-students, but even the wild beasts are enraptured by the superior melody of his sing- ing; the very trees and buildings are sensible to its charm. He handles the flute in the Apollonian style with the prodigious effect that the very ghosts shed tears. Although small of stature, being like Hymen of divine descent, like Milton of the Puritanic faith, he will in his chosen calling be a power in helping regenerate the human race.

Bessie ' s motto is, You can ' t tell when I study, but nevertheless, she always comes to class and sometimes recites. She has one failing and that seems to be for fun, but with all her laughing she does not grow fat, for she is the thinnest of our girls and the tallest.

Having traveled extensively in tin- West he has many exciting tales to tell of the days he spent on the cattle ranch and often entertains his friends till the wee hours of the morn- ing. He has also had a visit from Cupid, as almost every man has in college, and longs for the time when the chosen one shall reign as queen of the parsonage while he performs his pastoral duties, and judging from his integrity, his willingness to lend a helping hand and care for those in distress and his ever ready smile, we feel sure he will be successful.

Here is a young man who can easily be distinguished from the other members of his class. When you see a biped strolling across the campus taking four feet at a step, and with a smile lighting up his whole countenance and humming Baby Mine, in a deep, mel- low bass voice, you may bet your last collar button it is Dave. He holds some high ideas con- cerning life, and it has always been his sole aim to be a man. As a fellow is just half a man until he is married, we welcome with delight this one man into our midst. The greater part of his life has been spent in and around the steel mills and there is no part with which he is not familiar. Pipe is his special line — steel and French briar. He is very regular in his duties, never staying out late at night nor flunking in class. The Greek and Psychology melt away like a snowbank on a warm spring day. He is often heard philosophizing on vari- ous subjects, and his sound reasoning always sweeps away all opposing obstacles. He ex- pects some time to be stationed in some noted parish where he may minister to the spiritual needs of mankind. See yon tall lathy figure ' Well. ' Tis he.

He hails from the wilds of Center County,— Linden Hall, he says is the place, but we have not been able to find it on the county map. He came to us one beautiful fall morning with the in- tention of taking musical culture. He was a blue-eyed, innocent boy, with a rubber collar around his none too cleanly neck and industriously chewing a wheat straw. Under his left arm was tucked a small post office, which he brought filled with postage stamps for the ac- commodation of the boys. It was three years ago that all this happened— but now he is quite a different chap, a real college rough-neck with an English suit, mustache, Arrow col- lar, a girl and lots of other man-making qualities. He is now an all-around Mexican athlete, and a powerful footballer when his kidney isn ' t on the bum. He studies every now and then, mostly then, and hat ' the habit of ta lking in his sleep. Putting all levity aside, Ned is one ' of the most popular fellows in the college— a friend to all and a very present help in trouble. Do we wish him luck and prosperity? Well, I guess yes, and we even predict that he will some day become the mayor of Tyrone on the Prohibition ticket. He was a phantom of delight. When first he beamed upon our sight.

He is one of the most extraordinary fellows that ever struck Susquehanna ' s fair campus. By just glancing at Bert, you would very greatly misjudge him, for to a stranger he ap- pears the most stately and dignified gentleman imaginable. But we know him better. In company with other residents of Sleepy Hollow, he is one of the best comedians out. This is only one of the roles to which he is perfectly adapted. Another favorite pastime of Bert ' s is to play escort for some fair one, especially The One in Altoona, with whom, he asserts, he has spent many a happy hour. Bert ' s never-failing companion and comforter is his corn- cob pipe, without which he is rarely seen when it is permissible to use it. Although a little slow at times he is making a success at his end of the game. He has had his troubles, but so far he has come through smiling. Having evinced a rare genius for managing the Glee Club during his Sophomore year, he was chosen by the class to look after the business end of the Lanthorn and is proving to be an active and efficient worker. We feel sure that Bert ' s sincerity and the earnestness with which he tackles every difficulty will carry him safeh through many of life ' s hard places and labors. Yes, men may come and men may go; But hum I can ' t — no never! Page Forty-eight JANE ESTELLE McCORMICK HUBLERSBURG, PA. Hublersburg High School, ' 2; S. U.

By word: For cat ' s sake Or light or dark, or short or tall, She sets a spring to snare them all. All ' s one to her — above her fan. She ' d make sweet eyes at any man. This little conglomeration of red hair, brown eyes, and freckles, entered the far-famed portals of Susquehanna with the sole end in view of smashing the hearts of all the bashful swains about the place. And indeed, we must all agree that she has succeeded to a rather astonishing degree, for who could withstand the wiley wiles of this coy little maiden? But alas for those who have become fascinated by the charms of this little brown elf of our class, she has left all her victims bleeding upon the rack, and now has room in her heart for only one. But smashing hearts is only one of Ted ' s accomplishments. In the class room she holds one of the foremost places among the many illustrious members of the class. She has a voice like a siren, and she believes in improving it, for her name is to be found among the list of Susquehanna ' s vocal students, and we would not be surpriised to hear of her taking a place among the world ' s prima donnas. As for her power as a reader, she has been known to hold her audiences spell-bound for hours, being able to produce tears from her hearers at one moment and laughter the next. She is a wonderful seamstress, having made all her own dresses since she could walk, and we can assure the one who suc- ceeds in winning her love that she will keep his socks well darned. With all these accom- plishments at hand, it may be difficult for her to choose a profession, but we think she will finally settle down to be a Miller ' s wife. A light heart lives long.

Who can this person be who has so recently appeared upon the walks and campus of S. U. ? A queer and mirth-producing figure he cuts as he strolls on his leisure way to class, his law-defying and luxuriant crop of cranial verdure protruding from the apertures of a hat which has seen its best days about the year 1889 — (which he, however, persists on wear- ing, for no other reason than that, when it is stormy, the rim can be hooked over his nose, thereby removing all danger to be incurred by March winds) — and an expansive grin which threatens to remove his ears from their accustomed location. From his actions in general, and from the various pranks by which, even during his short stay here, he has made life miserable for those poor third-floor residents who are so fortunate (?) as to room near him, he has proven beyond a doubt his rights of membership in that world-wide, honorary iraternity of Hruphnex Knutz. ( Heb. 13; 8.) Who can he be? What proud place can boast of being his birthplace? What place indeed but that verdant valley which, having sent so many of her sons to the halls of old S. U., has at length added this last and noblest, that valley famed in history for that wonderful piece of natural art. The Kishacoquillas Valley (pronounced ' Wallee ' ) Railroad. And this young person is none other than that otherwise ordinary appearing young man known by the name of McNabb (commonly called McNutt). He, having tested State College for two years, but finding that institution too crowded to allow for his too rapid expansion, has turned at last to S. U., and we. the proud class of in. welcome him with open arms, knowing that his perpetual jolly, good humor will help much to lighten our labors during the remainder of our course.

Nick Cassius. By word: That ' s right you ' re wrong, Damages. A most peculiar specimen of humanity is this blonde chap with the Senatorial hair cut. After taking his Freshman year at U. of P., he found himself able to compete with the class of ' sixteen, and since his affiliation with us he has proved himself capable in many ways. His main activiti es in college life are football, penny ante and a decided abhorrence for his studies. In athletics he has proven himself a worthy member of our class, being the shining light on the gridiron. He is always full of pep and spirit for the glory of old S. U., which was manifested by the tears which he shed when taken out of the Muhlen- berg game. But Nick has a few virtues which are peculiar to a species of this kind. Possessing fine vocal ability he occupies a prominent position on the Glee Club. However, owing to his bashful nature on the trips, no broken hearts were caused by him. During Ins leisure moments, which are many, he is often heard fiddling on his violin which emits sounds as harmonious as a voice of a screech owl. From the very regions from which Nick hails, one can easily infer that he is filled with stirring tales of old Lycoming, of which he never tires telling to his wearied listeners. But with all these eccentricities he is a big-hearted soul and ever ready to lend a helping hand or borrow the needed dollar, and we see nothing but a bright future for him. Nature ne ' er meant her secrets to be found, And lure is a riddle which man cannot expound. Page Fifty-one SAMUEL MUSSER RINE McKEES HALF FALLS, PA. S. U.

' ' This babbling, rattling piece of Dutch humanity, green as the whispering pines, first came to our beloved University in the year of 1(112, at which time he became a student in the Academy department. Being a resident of Schuylkill County and living for the greater part of his time in close fellowship with the Dutch-speaking populace of that county, he learned to abuse the English language to the maximum. But as one of Dutch ' s good char- acteristics is nothing more nor less than realizing his personal defects, he immediately be- gan to grapple with that annoying German accent, and as a result has greatly improved the defect. Schadel is a good student and is classed among the constituents of the noble and most praiseworthv class of ' 111. He is of a good, congenial disposition but is also the possessor of verv irritable temper which cannot be intruded upon with the best security guaranteed the intruder. Although he does not possess efficient athletic ability to be among the chosen players of the ' Varsity team, he very obviously reveals his college spirit by ap- pearing in uniform upon the Old Gridiron, ready to help the scrubs give the ' Varsity a hard tussle. He also is a member of the class basketball team. Concerning his love affairs, we can simplv affirm that he is very popular among the ladies and receives their greetings from all parts of the earth. Judging from former appearances before the public, we pre- dict for him a delightful and successful future. Page Fifty-three WILLIAM ELWOCD SWOOPE, ® N E, Bond and Key ALTOONA, PA.

According to physical measurements he has a well nigh perfect form ; on the other hand a phrenalogical record would no doubt show that his brain is rather one-sided, he having a much greater affinity for athletics and sleep than for the class room and study. His skill as an athlete is characterized by his ownership of ' Varsity letters representing every department of college athletics; also by his possession of a miniature bat of green hue. His athletic ability is so widely known that at the begin- ning of his Junior year he was induced to take a scholarship in a sister institution for the privilege of coaching their football team. After rounding the team into shape and show- ing them what real football was. his spirit became restless and he got a hankerin ' for the old stamping ground. Soon, after, like the Prodigal Son, he decided to return to his Alma .Mater and offer her his services again. Of course, the fatted calf, which had been a pet in the family for five long years, was sacrificed and a mighty celebration ensued.

If you see a fair little Miss hurrying to class with a half-dozen books under her arm and a serious look on her face, you can assure yourself it is Pop. We are very proud of our little blonde, for it is due to her that we have been able to keep up our reputation as a studi- ous class, for she is too conscientious to go to class without knowing every particular about the lesson. She was rewarded at the end of her Sophomore year by receiving all the prizes. But even this fair damsel fell a victim to Cupid ' s wiles when only a Freshman, and ever since whenever you pass her door, you hear her singing, Hark-ins, Hark-ins, music sounds afar. Being very fond of exercise, you can see her strolling around the campus after every meal, looking very happy, and, of course, she is not walking alone. Wagner is one of the most ' accomplished, most congenial and most ambitious girls in our class. Her highest ambi- tion is to become a minister ' s wife, just like mother, so that the one will be always per- fectly happy. We are sure that she will succeed in life, just as in everything else that she ha- ever undertaken, because her sunny disposition that has held us captive during college life will surely win for her the love of everyone, wherever she goes. Honest labor bears a lovely face. Page Fiftr-five MARY ELIZABETH WEAVER PHILADELPHIA, PA. S. U. Academy, ' 13; Y. W. C. A.; Philo; Classical. Mollie, Mamie. By word: ■•Wouldn ' t that shoot you.! ' Alary came to us from the city of Brotherly Love fully determined to make the most of what Susquehanna had to offer. She is the most versatile girl of our class, as you may well know when you see her going from a class in Bible to one in Analytical Geometry and then to History. In justice to Mary we wish our readers to bear in mind that from her appearance one would never think that this little mite of a girl does not believe in taking life too seriously. On the contrary, she always wears a smile — a smile that won ' t come off — even when she is compelled to go to classes unprepared. It is a sad fact, however, that Mary, in spite of her size and sometimes angelic expression, is usually a leading spirit in any escapade which involves fun or noise ; for she does not believe in being solemn and serious while she is young and small. She thinks that there is plenty of time for that later in life. She laughs and sings the whole day long, and, what is better, she makes everyone else join in her laughter.

Bv what divine decree of Providence, we became the ones upon whom the most benign smile of Dame Fortune rested, and, as a result, received into our midst this promising young follower of Aristotle, Bacon and Kant, we know not. He came to us at the beginning of this our Junior Year, bringing with him the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of that famed institution of learning, Cumberland Valley State Normal School and the experience of several years of devotion to the gentle art of pedagogy. With such zeal, indeed, does he pursue the elusive God of Truth, passing sleepless nights for it; giving up for u laborious lavs- delvin- for it unceasingly in books of forgotten lore and among the decaying bones of saints and philosophers, propounders of creeds whose devotees have long since disap- peared; searching for it among the thought of the Great Men of Mind I P™g . to s last hiding place in the brains of our learned Doctors,-so absorbed indeed is he in this pursuit of Truth and in the acquisition of Knowledge, that Zimrn.e has forgot en to live.

Walker Pine Grove Mills Berwick Bruokville Selinsgrove Selinsgrove Page Sixty SOPHOMORES Page Sixty-one SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY j|NCE again, dear readers, you read the history of the Class of Nine- teen Seventeen, not as Freshmen but as Sophomores. September the twenty-third found only ten members of our illustrious class back to continue their work as Sophomores. However two more who showed themselves qualified to join our ranks, were added to our list. The Freshmen thought it was up to them to start something, so thev painted their numerals the first week of their arrival, showing us that thev were on the job. However, the children were surprised when a few discovered that the Sophs had been at work the night before and had pasted posters, one on the door of each Freshman ' s room. On these posters were printed the command- ments which were to guide them through their childhood days. The poor Freshies wasted much time and energy by trying to destroy them, but this had no effect as the rules remain and must be obeyed. In accordance with the ruling passed by the upper classmen, both classes met on Warner Field the second Thursday after the term opened, at which time the annual tie-up was held. The Freshmen outnumbered us two to one. making the fight look very discouraging at the beginning. Not being dis- heartened we entered the fight with the same old grit that had carried us through the year previous. At the crack of the pistol the fight was on. but after fifteen minutes of cFsperate struggling the Freshmen were declared vic- tors by the score, 6-0. Ye began our class work with the greatest zeal ; our earnest aim and pur- pose is to do all in our power to have the Class of Nineteen Seventeen make the greatest showing of any class at Susquehanna. Other classes boast of their athletes, and the Sophomore class also takes a prominent part in athletics, being represented in all four sports; football, basketball, baseball, and track. This day finds us working and struggling for our own advancement and the best interest of Susquehanna, so that in the future, we as a class, may enter this world of strife and look back over the days spent at S. C. and sav that they have been well spent and that we have been benefited by them. Hop- ing till another year has passed still greater things may he heard of the Class of Nineteen Seventeen, we hid you Au Revoir. T ' ;i . ' Sixty-two SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM Oh fairest women and bravest men. Through endless time great bards have sung; The heavenly muse behind them stood. While lyrics sweet to the lyre rung. Their glory ' s height they found when they Could sing of love and its pleasing charms, Or tell of the trophies won in the chase, Or thrill the age with war ' s alarms. Like a bird that loose in eastern skies. When hastening fondly home, Xe ' er stoops to earth her wing, nor waits Where idle warblers idly roam. But high she wings through air and light, Above the earth and slow delay Where nothing earthly bounds her course. Nor shadow dims her onward way. So Nineteen Seventeen is advancing on. The world of work before us lies; And every man is striving hard. That this may be the richest prize. Yet e ' en amid the toil and strife. Each finds the time some good to do. And the feelings of oneness closer draw. By standing by each class-mate true. Our class has led in everything; At every spot we set the pace; And passing days this truth declare; The green cap boys are not in the race. We have the girls, all bonny queens, The fairest maids you ' d wish to see, And the brightest boys in old S. U. Ever keep them company. Our hearts and hands united are; And thus united e ' er shall be; For a golden band our interest holds Th glowing bond of sympathy.

The Professors thought thev saw in us, genius, and before many days had passed, all of their expectations were realized. We brought to the college a combination of wit, humor, brains, intelligence and good com- mon sense. We were kindly received by those who had been in similar cir- cumstances and who knew the difficulties which we would meet, and in a re- markably short time we had become established and set to work. On September the twenty-fifth we met and organized our class and trans- acted all business pertaining to it. The very next morning the numerals, One and Eight, in the glowing colors of Maroon ami White, could be seen in various places on and about the college campus. After they had shed their glowing radiance to all those passing by, for a few days, and we had made known to the public our existence, the}- were covered by a set of rules advanced by the Sophomores to be obeyed by the Freshmen; but the various agencies figuring in the process of erosion have worn them off while the numerals still remain. October the first was the day decided upon for the conflict between the Sophomores and the Freshmen, known as the tie-up. On that memorable day the Freshmen appeared Un iformed and anxiously awaited the crack of the pistol. With a determination to win, we rushed into the fight, and at the end of fifteen minutes, had succeeded in carrying all the Sophomores but one from the field, the score being 6-0. Our overpowering numbers having proved a greater advantage than the experience of the Sophs At a notice from the upper classmen the Freshmen procured green caps with red buttons. Then all was peace aand quietness. We labored diligently and almost always had our lessons prepared, and managed to keep from sleeping in the class. Not only is this class famous in the recitation room, but it also boasts of several good athletes. Surely you will hear more of this illustrious class, but no more under the title of Freshmen. Xext year we will play the more important part of Sopho- mores and until then, dear reader, farewell. Page Sixty-eight ll FRESHMEN Page Sixty-nine FRESHMEN CLASS POEM Of course where ever you may go, Some one always seems to know, How we brought the Sophomores low, And rilled them with eternal woe. Of this, we now gladly sing And make the Halls of S. U. ring, And think of naught but this one thing, How the Sophomores felt the sting. Now to our lessons we will turn, And long the mid-night oil will burn; All attractions do we spurn. Our only purpose being, to learn. In Algebra, we showed our zest; We all studied without rest. Each one put forth his very best To try and pass that awful test. In French, German, Latin and Greek Some of us are very sleek, But others, too, are very weak; Of this, it is not nice to speak. Bible tells us of that land Where God ' s heroes all did stand. Of the Law giv ' n by His hand, To be a guide to Israel ' s band. In Rhetoricals, you can bet We fell in love with poor Hamlet; How Ophelia got so wet And made Leartes stabb ' ed get. Of every lad and every lass, All the talk and all the gas, The only thought that does harass Is, Are we ever going to pass.

In fact, it may be called a National event; one upon which the eyes of the nation were directed. The papers spread the news that the great adventurer. Joseph Hackenburg. had just re- turned from an expedition to some unknown land. The great men of the day decided this a fitting time to have a reception in his honor. I was nil my way to New York when a man. with two large traveling bags, boarded the train and sat in the seat opposite me. In a conversa- tion with him I found that it was none other than my old friend and class-mate. Cal- vin Gutter, traveling salesman for a large firm in New Y irk. Arriving at the metro- polis we started down Broadway. Ere traversing many squares we noticed a sign which read Weavers ' Millinery. Upon inquiring we were informed that this was the large millinery establishment of Mis-e Marion and Charlotte Weaver. It was only a short time after leaving Calvin Ginter that I arrived at the place of the reception. The guests having assembled, we were directed to our respective places in the dining hall. I noticed a familiar face at the head of our table and upon inquiry found that it was Mrs. . formerly Helen Fowler. After the blessing, which was asked by Rev. Ralph D. Hinkleman. we began to partake of the delicacies set before us. Everything was delicious, especially the grapes, which came from the farm of Charles S. Gates. After lunch the toast of the evening was to be given by one of the world ' s most learned physicians. A man with an ample amount of rlc h arose and began. Well, gentlemen and ladies, Oh! pardon me. I mean ladies and gentlemen. I feel highly honored in being present at such an occasion, in honor of my former class-mate. He had not proceeded far until I recognized him as Cloyd E. Bottiger. After the toast an address was given by one of the world ' s great evangelists. The speaker arose and he immediately impressed you as a man who was not afraid to face an audience and make his thoughts known, whether right or wrong. Bv his easy flow of language. I knew it was Rev. A. E. Tiechart. In his address he spoke of George W. Cassler. the greatest choir leader anad singer the world has ever known. W ' e were now given the privilege of mingling with each other and spend- ing an enjoyable evening. In speaking to several of my old class-mates I learned that Dorothy E. Allison was teaching in a Normal School. Being desirous of speaking to everyone there, I passed on to a group of people, who were talking about a man discovering a new cure for a certain disease among cattle. This great veterinarian was Silas A. Schadel. In conversation with a well known busi- ness man I learned that Mary A. Reighard was manager of the ladies ' department in his store. I learned from a prominent minister that Rev. H. F. Shoaf had just returned from the foreign field in India, where he had founded a large mission. Before leaving the reception I spoke to several of my former acquaintances, one of them had taken music under the direction of Mary E. Woodruff at Berlin. They also spoke of the great vocal teacher, Celia Speigelmire. On my way home I learned that a man commonly called Spigs was formerly chauffeur of the car I was riding in. Before arriving at my destination, however, I was informed that this same Spigs. who was no other than Cyril Speigelmire, had advanced from chauffeur and now owned the largest garage in Xew York. After arriving home I felt satisfied that the class of 1915 was approaching the goal the} ' once started 1 1 attain.

Miller Page Seventy-nine EXPRESSION Page Eighty WORK OF EXPRESSION T HE true aim of the Work of Expression is not only to tit men and women for work upon the platform, but to help those who would win in all the walks of life. Oratory is no longer confined to the men of the country. We have never before in the history of the nation had so many women orators. And the day is at hand when it is consid- ered as much of an accomplishment for a woman to he able to read and speak well as it is to play the piano well. The man or woman who wins the day in human affairs is the one who can meet people in a husiness or social way and persuade or move them to acquiesce in social or business matters. True oratory, with the work of expression, consists in the ability to convince, persuade, or move people to action. In all lines of business to-day there seems to be a grow- ing demand for people who can be eloquent, persuasive, and convincing. To be a good orator, or a good talker in the best sense, demands cer- tain characteristics. First of all, earnestness, next enthusiasm in your work, then you must also learn to avoid self-consciousness, the greatest enemy to good speaking. A well-developed voice, together with a pleas- ing personality, is also valuable. What applies to oratory applies also to reading and reciting. The greatest art is that which conceals the act.

When you hear her talk you might imagine her a real heart-breaker, but at present she has concentrated her affections on a poor Freshman, declaring solemnly and without reser- vation, that some day she will be his, and longs fi ir that perfect day. She often entertains her classmates with little stories of her home town, and by her geniality and wit has attained popu- larity among her associates. Saying the least, she is a student worth while, although she says she didn ' t come to S. U. to answer questions and practice, but to listen to the Profs. See and be seen. MATTIE E. McCOOL CENTER HALL, PA. Solomon Levi. By word: I don ' t like it. This black-haired, black-eyed baby doll came to S. U. in the spring of 1913. but because of an accident she had to leave immediately for home, but hearing of the brilliant class she decided to join us once more, although she did hate to leave Charles. McCool certainly is a game one, instead of spending her Sunday mornings in church she spends the time rough-housing. The better the day the better the deed, so she says. She anticipates taking a course in domestic science and we all wonder why. Her greatest trouble is the men, and she is continually writing letters of forgiveness. Nevertheless, she is al- ways on the safe side witli the men. Stolen auto trips come ahead of the men every time. We are indeed sorry that she will not continue her education in music. Whatever sins she has committed in the past she will repent for in the future. Page Ninety-one BEULAH S. A. M. J. RATHFON MIDDLEBURG, PA. Gentle reader, quantity of name cannot make quantity of woman, nor quality neither. Because of restrictions about Seibert Hall she comes to us as a day student, to improve both herself and the conservatory. She declares that the Middle- burg orchestra would be a minus quantity with- out her assistance. There are great possibilities open to Beulah, and fifty years from now we expect to find her one of the leading violinists of America. This paragon of intellect is one of the blooming features of our class. In her leisure hours she makes a special study of U. S. A. (male) master. Her favorite song is Watch on the RINE. EMILY RAYMAN MUNHALL, PA. Snookie. By zuord: ' Oh, I ' m so happy I could die. Snook has the reputation of being the best rag time player of our class, if she isn ' t playing rags she is chewing them. Until last year our Glee Club lacked a clear soprano, but then Snook came to the rescue and now her milky squeals complete the harmony of that organization. Her warbling either causes you to fall asleep or beat it. She is a strong believer in feeds and other nightly escapades and is a model fudge maker. Ask Harry. She means no one any harm — simply wants to enjoy herself. She is ex- ceedingly fond of relating her exploits. When she came to S. U. she had 18 admirers, now she has but one. Where is thy charm, O Snook? A forlorn hope from a more forlorn community. l ' aKi- N ' iiMt.y-two GUY STETLER MIDDLEBURG, PA. Eels. By word: Gcc. At last it has come to pass A man has entered the Junior class. This good natnred Guy, our walking shadow, with the longest legs, the longest arms, smallest head, the most penetrating intellect, is the best that Middleburg could produce for S. U. He has a mania for Tanhauser, Beethoven, limberger cheese and peanuts. He is a lover of nature and all that is beautiful, including women whom he worships from a— far. His horoscope tells us he will be married thrice and never work more than he must. A trustworthy lad in whom even the Profs, confide, deserves to become very learned, and we anticipate great achievements for our hero in the future. Our best regards to Eels and Fischer, may they never part. ANNA WETZEL BEAVERTOWN, PA. Nose. Bv word: My Gosh. The object of this sketch is Beavertown ' s con- tribution to S. U. She has now put awav childish things and is devoting her time to Harmony. Fillion and housekeeping. Be it a class, a train, a date or a meal she is always on time. She may be compared to a phonograph which is always wound up. She would be a model performer for a comic opera because her best products are her gymnastic performances. Generosity is her middle name; she shares her kisses as well as her thoughts. When in need of anything along her line, write or call on the above, all goods guaranteed to be perfectly satisfactory. But some day we expect to hear great things of our class- mate. Dixie Land or the Sunny South for mine.

Browx Vice President - L. D. Grossman Secretary - Earle S. A. Mohney Treasurer E. Ivan Frey Monitor - Harry Knorr N its larger sense the Y. M. C. A. is not an organization that has for its mission the saving of stranded hulks of men, hut rather the working out of a great principle — the building up of the body, mind, and spirit. It reaches out into the most remote parts of the world and now holds within its grasp men of all races and of all nationalities. A unit of this wonderful organization shines f orth gloriously from the heart of col- lege activities in this dear institution which has been, is and always will be, what true followers of the Prince of Peace make it. The Y. M. C. A. has been instrumental, to a great extent, in keeping old Susquehanna clean through and through, and by deter- mined efforts is driving ahead toward the realization of that dream fostered within the breast of every student — a Greater Susquehanna. Deputation teams and Social Service men have been in the held doing real work for the Master, and the results from these efforts have been so marked that this de- partment has a permanent position in the Association, subject to the direction of the Cabinet. The regular meetings never lack in interest and religious training. Much stress is laid upon weekly prayer meetings. It is here that many a man utters hi- prayer in the presence of others, and oftimes for some it is the beginning of a Clin- tian life. Bible study is also emphasized. February eleventh. Nineteen Fifteen, will be marked with red ink on the calendar of Susquehanna University, as one of the most demonstrative events of student gen- Page Ninety-six erosity in its history. On the above date a campaign was held, raising approximately six hundred dollars in ten hours for the purpose of fitting out more comfortable quar- ters for the V. M. C. A. Complete success crowned the day. The new rooms have been the solution to the problem of providing sufficient en- vironment for the nurturing of sociability and good fellowship among the students. For a long time Susquehanna felt the need of a Y. M. C. A. and club room, where the fel- lows could congregate whenever their inclinations were such, to forget sorrow and trouble and enjoy the presence of a spirit where peace abides. The difficulty has been overcome, and the student life has come nearer to the realization of past dreams. Immediately following this campaign a series of special services were held, which were conducted by Cranston, Wood, and McDowell from Penn State. Through these meetings many were assisted in finding their way to the Savior, and took a definite stand to do active service in his vineyard. But after all, what does all this mean? It means nothing more nor nothing less than that the influence of the Y. M. C. A. will reign supreme among the college men and some day when all the battles have been fought successfully, the Young Men ' s Christian Association at old Susquehanna will look back over a record pure as the sweet flowers of spring and as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar. Page Ninety-seven YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Officers President - - Susie Geise Vice President - Alice Weaver Secretary - - Emma Mover Treasurer - Mattie McCool Pianist - - Krni Groxixger iUQ j X college life it is necessary to have a religious organization such as the Young 1 Women ' s Christian Association. Although it can not and does not take the place of the church, yet through the Young Women ' s Christian Association young women are led to Christ. The weekly meetings, though they be only a song and prayer service, have a helpful influence in molding the characters of those who attend. The past year has been a very encouraging one to those who are interested in the work. Those at the head are very efficient leaders and the others have all been very ready and willing to co-operate. The meetings have, as a rule, been well attended and the prayer services held every morning during the world week of prayer were earnest, encouraging and inspiring. It was the privilege of the Association to send two representatives to the Summer Conference at Eagle ' s Mere, and two others were sent to the Missionary Conference held at Lancaster, during the month of Xovember. The reports of the conferences from those who have attended them are always helpful and inspiring, and all should feel it a duty and a privilege to make it possible that our organization be better represented at the conferences than heretofore. May the Young Women ' s Christian Association continue to increase and become a still greater factor for good in the lives of the young ladies at Susquehanna. Page Ninety-eight PHILOMATRIAN SOCIETY HE Philomatrian Literary Society, composed of Alumni and under- graduate students who have given marked evidence of having the wel- fare of this institution at heart by striving to promote her interests in whatever line it may be their privilege to follow, was founded on the tenth of January, 1901, for the purpose of promoting the best interests of the institu- tion by fostering a greater love for their Alma Mater; by co-operating with all the existing organizations; by arousing and stimulating true college spirit and greater zeal in literary work. The society has served Susquehanna well and we trust that it will continue to grow, and have even better tilings in store for the University in the coming years.

Young Page Ninety-nine CLIONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY jj y its HE ceaseless passing of time has added another year to Clio ' s cherished history, and again has come the request for the annual report of her activities. It will he the greater purpose to record the spirit of Clio in in igress of fuller development and increased usefulness, so that in the fu- ture, when, as alumni of Susquehanna we can read with undiminished appre- ciation the accomplishment of our literary efforts, and however mindful we now are of the incompleteness of our labors we can still feel assured that we have contributed greatly to the perpetuation of Clio ' s ascending progress. The past year has seen our co-operative efforts crowned with warranted success. Clio has seized the oracle of opportunity with relentless grip and the willingness of each one to do his part in the upbuilding of the society and the desire to secure the greatest possible benefits has permeated the meetings with concordant rivalry. The large attendance at the performance of most of the programs is in itself an infallible testimony of the work done within the halls. Unboastfully we say that the work done upon the rostrum has ex- ceeded that of former years and we can unreproach fully say that this is the climax of the fifty-six years of Clio ' s efforts. Increased significance is added to this statement when we reflect upon the lives and careers of men and women win), during their college days have held as their ' s the motto, Mentalis Ordo et Moralis Dignitas. But inasmuch as Clio has the same useful purposes to satisfy, still possess- ing the same desire for greater development, there is room for improvement. There is still a small minority who could not boast the greatest benefits at- tainable. To those Clio means little more than an elegant room with its beau- tiful decorations and furniture. If Clio to you is only this, neither the society nor yourself will be the better for your having been a member. Knowledge is practically worthless unless it is accompanied with sufficient ability of speech in order to instruct and benefit society. The asset of efficient public speaking is not developed in the course of a few years, but a life-time of ceaseless application and indefatigable energy is required to attain an ex- traordinary degree of excellence. The object of a literary society is to create a desire for efficient public speaking and to facilitate the attainment thereof. As these are the purposive ideals of Clio we trust that you all realize your obligation to the society for the opportunities she offers, whereby you may obtain confidence, grace and power for the duties of life. In the same man- ner in which Clio needs you for the furtherance of her purpose, you need Clio. In conclusion let us speak but a word to the many illustrious ex-Clio ' s. Don ' t forgef the organization that can be truly called your Alma Mater. Your success in life is witness to the benefits derived from our society and as its in- fluence has not deserted you on separation you still have an obligation of duty to pay. We do not ask much, but an occasional visit with good whole- some advice and criticism and with praise where praise is due will make us less oblivious of vour efforts for Clio.

It has been a year of progress, of high ideals and lofty ambitions. To recount her achievements during the past year would he impossible, but a retrospective glance will assure us that her members have improved in public speaking, in oratorical ability, and in clear and logical thinking. The inspiring debates, the noble and eloquent orations, the clear and concise essays and the melodious music, have helped each and all, and the happy recollections of these meetings will linger in the minds of her members as long as memory lasts. The social side has nut been neglected. On Hallowe en night, the society bclil her social festivities in the Gymnasium. The large and spacious floor was thickly strewn with leaves, wierd and grotesque shadows cast by the dim light of the Jack-o ' danterns. lurked here and there. On all sides pumpkins could be found nestling at the base of shocks of corn fodder; apples, sweet cider and pumpkin pie were to be had in abundance. A most delightful even- ing was spent playing the games father and mother enjoyed in their youth, and listening to the wierd readings given when everybody was seated in the dim light cast by the lire under the seething coldron. Many other social festivities occurred since last year and Philo has ma- terially aided her members in developing the social side of their life. We have lost heavily by graduation. The class of 19 14 took some of our best workers and most able literary men and women out of our society and their places were hard to fill. However, the new members, of whom there are a goodly number, have done nobly in keeping the literary standard of Philo where her founders placed it. With a large and flourishing society, with her members enthusiastic for better things, the coming year promises to be one of the best in her long and gli irious history. To those who will leave us we bid a fond farewell and hope that their lives will be cast in pleasant places. To those who will return again in the Fall we extend hearty greetings and wish for them all the benefits of literary training and choice companionship that Philo is able to offer. Let us each and all press forward to the goal of success. Let our watch- word be service and let us train ourselves so efficiently that we shall be an honor to our Alma Mater and a lasting benefit to society.

Even in the good old days, when Missionary Institute stood alone as the bulwark of that which has since developed into our present college. Athletics were prominent. Those sturdy pioneers of Susquehanna waged many a conflict upon the field of manly contest and if we believe history, — we can boast that they were usually victorious. Baseball was played at Susquehanna in its most primitive form when such accessories as gloves, masks, cleated shoes and other impediments were entirely unknown. The skill which was cultivated in those times has been handed down from year to year, so that Susquehanna has never been ashamed of her baseball records. Football was also played at Susquehanna in the youthful stages of the game. Dr. John 1. Woodruff coached the first team, which although unskilled in the art of the warfare, made an enviable name for itself when the gridiron was yet a trying pan. Basketball was introduced at Susquehanna in later years, and the name which the teams have made in the past years, has caused us to be respected in this s port wherever the name of Susquehanna has been heard. Whether our teams have been good or bad in the history of our col- lege does not need our attention, but we can say that Susquehanna and professionalism in athletics have never been friends. Our teams have al- ways been composed of good, clean, full-fledged students, and whatever has been accomplished has been done by true Susquehanna men.

But the sport was too enticing and too inter- esting to be forgotten by the descendants of former gridiron stars. So when the cool, frosty days of fall came around, the temptation could not be thwarted, and a great hue and cry went up. that foot- ball should be reinstated. The request was granted, and the pig- skin was given a great ovation after its long absence from our midst. It is a well known fact that football players cannot be developed over night. It takes years of hard consistent plugging away, to develop a good football man. He must know the game from start to finish. Beef and muscle are important, but the experienced team is the one which will come off the field victorious. Thus our coaches found a big job on their hands — in drilling the rudiments of the game into inexperienced players. For the first season several games were secured, with minor teams. Vic- tory, of course, resulted in these games, but it was made evident that our men were sadly lacking in experience. Albright college administered an over- whelming defeat in the first season which more than ever made manifest the team ' s weakness. The season of 1914 was composed mostly of defeats for us. The sched- ule was a hard one and. considering the greenness of our team, we can call it successful. One good result of the season was the knowledge gained of our material. It showed where the weak points were and it also taught us that we possessed a great abundance of dormant football ability which only needed a little tutoring and coaching to bring it forth. The experience gained in the past season was of great value to our team, and we are looking forward to a successful shon : ng of the Orange and Maroon upon the gridiron next Fall. Time ' s I r p. Pa -.■ 1 mi. ' Twenty fei jjikjj? j  i m is i r ' litllH t I I! I til Muhlenburg Game The first game of the season with the Allentown collegians was a decided rout of our forces. In fact, it was the first real game of football for many members of our team, and in the first half of the game, this inexperience was our downfall. The (lav was exceedingly disagreeable, being too warm to play real football. The first half ended, 28-0, in favor of Muhlenburg. Shortly after the beginning of the second half, Capt. Swoope and Nichols had to be taken from the play on account of injuries. The team, however, seemed to find themselves and made a wonderful stand during the remaining periods, allowing the heavy Muhlenburgers one lone touchdown. Peters and Middles- worth did excellent work for Susquehanna and deserve credit for their fight- ing spirit. Dickinson Seminary Game Dickinson Seminary proved an easy bite ' for our warriors on Warner Field. At the end of the first half the score stood 47-0 in favor of Susque- hanna. In the second half Coach Kelchner put in a number of substitutes in place of ' Varsity men and the Seminary managed to score two touchdowns by forward passes. ' Susquehanna took another brace at this point, and when the whistle sounded at the end of the game the score was 6S-14 in favor of the Orange and Maroon. Misfortune seemed to follow our team unerringly, for in a former practice game, Harkins, the two hundred-pound guard, was injured for the season, and in the Dickinson Seminary game Kratzer sustained a broken arm. Bucknell Game With a badly crippled team, Susquehanna fell an easy prey to the Orange and Blue. In the first minute of play Shannon, a halfback, had his ankle sprained and had to be replaced by a substitute. Bucknell was looking for an Page One Twenty-one easy time, but encountered a great surprise when they tried our mettle. Al- though scoring forty-three points they were forced to work every minute of the game and fought hard for all they got. Twice Susquehanna brought the spectators to their feet by holding Bucknell r Nichols and Keller, Brown and Peters were the game, thus greatly weakening the team. Tip Topham, for Bucknell. excelled. Albright Game for downs on the one-yard line. injured and had to be taken from Swoope, for Susquehanna, and With Harkins. Shannon, Keller and Peters missing from the line-up, what was left of Susquehanna ' s football team was defeated by Albright. 32-0, at Myerstown. Discouraged and down-hearted by the loss of so many men the team made a good stand against Capt. Haps Benfer and the rest of the Albright team. The big fullback was a tower of strength and not only suc- cessfully broke up our plays, but carried the ball almost every down for a gain. On account of injury in the second half, Benfer was removed from the field and Albright only succeeded in scoring a few points during the re- mainder of the game. Indian Game It ' s a long road that has no turning, thus sang the poet. The Indian Reserves came to Selinsgrove, they saw, and were conquered. Never for a moment was the game in doubt. Susquehanna started out with an attack that no team could have withstood. The wearers of the Orange and Maroon were on the warpath Nov. 14th, and they literally scalped the redskins bv a 33-0 score. Red Swoope found himself in this game and startled the spec- tators with several eighty-yard runs. Kid Cassler made his initial debut into football and played end position like a veteran. Harman, Brown, Mid- dlesworth. and Peters starred in their respective positions by cleverly juggling their redskined opponents. Page One Twenty-two I 1111 91 18 j ii ii in an, ;- Ml HiHIll: t J! J| 1 1 1 1 1 a i- 1 1 £■■ ' J. MARTIN KELCHNER Head Coach In trying to develop a team out of green material, Coach Kelchner was thoroughly tested. He proved the test, however, and by the end of the season the green material looked like a different squad. Our season was not a howling success, but it was a wonder how Coach Kelchner developed the team that he did with the many handicaps placed upon him. We are counting on him to instill the pep into the huskies that will represent Susquehanna on the gridiron next Fall. WALTER E. BROWN Manager In order to have a successful football season a good manager is an essential quality. Brown certainly filled his position well and did all in his power to make him- self useful. At all times, business-like and courteous he has left a record which future managers should strive to attain. ELWOOD W. SWOOPE Captain and Fullback This mighty warrior came to Susquehanna from Altoona High School, where he gained his rudimentary knowledge of football. Mighty in baseball, mightier in basketball, but mightiest in football, is the way Red is doped out by his critics. As a punter and open field runner Red will star with the best of them and is considered to be one of the best all around athletes in collegiate circles. Much is expected of Brick next year and Susquehanna admirers are counting on him to put the team back on the map of the football world. Page One Twenty-three I B ■ E3ff ti ' p dtk  .tiTif j . hi MM HI All - 1 L ' mi ' f ' ■ ■ MB ERNEST W. NICHOLS Captain-elect and End This tow-head dropped into Susquehanna about the middle of football season, 1913, but he immediately made a berth for himself on the team. His former ex- perience in the back field at Dickinson Seminary and then on the husky Penn Freshman team, gave him valuable training which can be depended on under all conditions. Xick plays football like a hungry hobo eats chicken pie. as though his life depended upon it, and a continuation of this spirit makes prospects good for some stuff on the team next Fall, under Nicks captaincy. BURLEIGH ALVAN PETERS Quarterback This diminutive quarterback made his debut into football at Susquehanna. Pete never played a game of football before two years ago, but the way he learned to wiggle through a broken field is remarkable. Full of the old pep all the time and possessing two pounds of grit for each pound of flesh he has made an enviable record for himself which he is sure to better during next year ' s season. LESTER G. SHANNON Halfback Shannon also played his first football at Susque- hanna. He took to the game like a duck takes to water. He just naturally tucked the pill under his arm and when started, even the old boy with horns couldn ' t catch him. Although hampered by a poor ankle Bull played a consistent game at halfback and his services will be greatly missed next year. Page One Twe I Willi a; 111 in m J n WILFRED NEDSON KELLER Halfback This Herculean youth is some hard guy when it comes to playing football. Built like a German battle- ship, Ned is a very hard proposition to stop when once he gets headed towards the goal posts. Ned had a little trouble with his kidneys in the middle of the season, but it only increased his determination to make ail-American halfback next season — here ' s hoping he docs it. GUY MIDDLESWORTH End Miggs is popularly known as the old war horse in athletics around Susquehanna. When football was reinstated Guy was right on the job, and so well did he learn the game that he held down left end like an old veteran. Miggs is a mighty hard tackier and snags the forward passes like a Chinese outfielder. As he still has several years to spend at Susquehanna we will probably find him protecting the end of the line when the team goes to clean up Colgate next season. GEORGE CASSLER End Here is a lad who has more stick-to-itiveness in him, than any five men in college. He came out the begin- ning of the season and played with nothing on but an old blue shirt and a pair of buttoned shoes. He didn ' t get cold feet at such treatment, but got down to work and showed so much stuff that before the end of the sea- son he was playing a rattling good game at ' Varsity end. Stick to it, kid, and you will be the biggest star that Susquehanna ever turned out. Tage One Twenty-five • , JOHN F. HARKINS Tackle Here is an all around athlete who plays whatever sport turns up as hard as he can and plays it clean. Fat only weighs 190 pounds in his birthday suit, and when some aspirant for gridiron fame attempts to come through the right side of our line he usually finds a stone wall awaiting him in the form of Mr. John Hark- ins. Fat was unfortunate in getting hurt in the early- part of last season, but we are counting on him to help make next year ' s team a famous one in our history. J. PAUL HARMAN Guard Ye big husky boy, just look at his picture. He stands over six feet tall and is as big around as an elephant. Judge just loves to play the old game, and when his big hulk goes crashing into an interference he makes it look like a British warship after a German sub- marine is through with it. Harmie greatly improved in his playing this season, over his first attempt, but what will happen next year with the experience gained this Fall is too ponderous to estimate. ELMER BROWN Guard When Baalam took to playing football lie found just the game he had been looking for all his life — a game full of Ruff stuff, and Brownie was right at home. Just get the old boy riled up and Zowie, look out for breakers ahead. As the big Indian said, Brown he much-ada rough boy. Brown is a typical specimen of a guard and Susquehanna has a jewel of which it can well be proud. Page One Twenty-six I ill a jg ; ji lii is mi RAY LUBOLD Tackle Chust let me at ' em, says this war-like looking veteran. Ray learned his football in the olden days, and the pleasant sensation of having some one jump on his neck with half-inch cleats was not unknown to him. Lubold is a fighter and when a man is lucky enough to slide his avoirdupois past him without getting himself spilled all over the lot he is to be congratulated. J. FRANK FAUST Tackle Here is another big guy who enjoys making Ham- burg steak out of his beefy opponents. If you see a blond head moving about two feet from the ground, in a line as the crow flies you know some one is about to have his life insurance come due. Frank is not an old warrior at this delightful pastime, but he sure is a worthy candidate for the veteran ranks and we will be sorry to lose his aid in the coming tournaments of 1915. VICTOR NEVIN MILLER Guard Quaint in form but mighty in results are Abe ' s credentials. To see him go after a punt or fall on a fumbled ball you would not think much of him but when he gets into the fray, and some one hands him a good stiff crack on the nose then the stuff ' s off, just call a derrick and clear away the wreckage. Victor expects to enter theological seminary and if he keeps up this old lire lie will give the Devil some hard knock-out blows. Page One Twenty-seven NATHANIEL A. DANOWSKY Tackle Here is a direct descendant of the original Russian Cossack. Since his thirst for battle had to be quenched in some way, he came out for football, and before the end of the season was showing good form. Danny is a bit inclined to pollute the atmosphere with language unbecoming to a Christian institution, and the referees were rather hard on him, but why worry about mere trifles, all qualities can ' t be found in a horse. DAVID PERRY End - Being a mere Freshman did not keep this fellow from getting his picture among this group of celebrities. Men who know, think that Dave is a comer, and if he sticks closer to the game and a bit less to the fair sex, his chances for wearing a big S some time are pretty good. Although new at the game Perry showed that there are great possibilities in him for the making of an excellent end. SAMUEL BAY BULICK Halfback You know the old story of not always finding the best goods in the big bundles. Well, that ' s the case with Sammy, he is only a little runt but Oh my! Lit- erally speaking, he has the Mill . and after all that is the biggest asset that a football aspirant can have to his credit. Sam has two in.. re years in college and we would like to see him land a regular berth on the ' Varsity before he makes his commencement address.

Not only did they keep the ' Varsity guessing during practic e, but they defeated the strong Montgom- ery team by 6-o score. Let every Scrub man remember that a place on the ' Varsity is open to him if he can produce the goods. No ' Varsity man is ever sure of his job and if a Scrub player shows he is a better man, there will be promotion for him. Pagi One Thirty mumi Page One Thirtv-one BASKETBALL, 1915 USQUEHAXXA was represented this year 03 ' a worthy set of candidates on the basketball floor. With a nucleus of last year s players to build around Coach Kelchner succeeded in developing a good team considering the fact thai we were minus the aid of Follmer, a star forward, who was prevented from playing on account of sickness. Captain Red Svvoope displayed the same old pep that he has always shown as a forward or center, and led the team in points scored. Red ' s efforts were so much appreciated that he was elected to pilot the team again next season. Old war horse Middlesworth was on the job again and showed that even if his bald spot is getting larger he is still there with the goods when it comes to shooting a foul goal or guarding the basket. The team was greatly aided this year by the excellent showing of Bull Shannon as a forward and guard, whose shooting and passing were of big league cali- ber. Ed Phillips, a Sophomore, carved out a regular job on the ' Varsity and showed up like a veteran. Ed plays a hard arid fast game and his ability to hit the basket at the right time helped to win many games. The guard position was held down by the sturdy old warrior, John Harkins. Fat is an ideal guard whose playing in the past season was of special merit. Big Boy Whitmer illuminated the gym again with his bright smile after a year ' s absence. With his height around seven feet there are few centers who can outjump him. Whit also played a good game at forward and scored many points to his credit. Lauver and Harman were general utility men and in the respective positions of forward and guard they both made good showing. In the first game of the season our quintet lost to Harrisburg Professionals, 24-23. We would not have minded losing the game, but when Albright came to Selinsgrox e ami handed us a bitter pill in the form of 43-21 defeat, it was a pretty hard one to swal- low. When the team went to Bucknell for its third game the old hoodoo was still stick- ing around and another drubbing was chalked up for us in the account book. But the Page On,. Thirt v-tvvu sorrow for this last defeat was wiped out when Lafayette lost to us by a tally of 25-16. The next game was one of the most hotly contested ones ever seen on our floor. Fate, however, was with the Orange and Maroon and Gettysburg went down under the field goal of Phillips in the last second of play. This chance victory was followed by two more, one over the Alumni and the other over our old Bucknell rivals. It ' s an ill wind that blows no man good, but in the next few games away from home, the wind was not blowing our direction, and we were forced to bring home willow wreaths from some of our rival colleges. The second trip made by the team was featured by defeating Franklin and Marshall at Lancaster, 36-31. Lehigh was given an awful tussle at South Bethlehem, but the whistle blew before Susquehanna come back spirit could even up the score. Tired from travel and the gruelling work of the two nights before. Kelchner ' s men lost to Dela- ware and Washington Colleges. With F. M. tucked safely away in their bags and with three very creditable showings made on foreign floors the team returned home and received a royal welcome. The last game of the season was played at home with Muhlenburg College. The battle waged was rough and exciting and when the time keeper ' s whistle sounded the score stood even, but Muhlenburg refused to play the tie off and the referee forfeited the game to Susquehanna by a 2-0 score. Scrubs Some very promising material was uncovered among the scrub candidates. Rine, Nichols, Hostetter, Dolbeer. Lubold. Meese. Bulick. Hoover, and others showed good form and excellent chances are open to them for ' Varsity positions if they continue in their good beginning. Several games were played, the majority of which went in the favor of the scrubs. Standing in the League Won Lost Per Cent. Won Lost Per Cent.

F we were superstitious of 13 we could place the blame for our baseball record of last year, eight games lost, live won, on that fatal figure, but with very rare exceptions were the games of a give-away character, the majority having been lost by narrow margins. The late opening of the season also had some bad in- fluences upon the men as it held them in suspense and kept them from hitting up the pep at the start off. Of the first four games, only one came our way and that by a margin of but one point. Short straws were our fate continually for a month until we defeated Bucknell in an interesting game which resulted, 5-4. This victor}- has an especial meaning to Susquehanna, Smith, the veteran second sacker. hitting a home run which brought three men across the plate for a one-lead victory. With this victory, new life seemed to come into the game and four games of the remaining six were dropped into our camp. The pitching staff was especially strong with Peters, the boy with the old stuff, who came back stronger than ever during the season and placed another crop of laurel in his crown: Goble, the Southpaw find, pitched remarkable ball for his first season in intercollegiate circles. Every man on the team deserves due praise, for under the tutelege of Coach Kelch- ner they all developed ability, not only in fielding but in base running and hitting as well.

Inexperience, however, proved fatal to the men and the team was compelled to take fourth place in a large field of contestants. Whitmer, Lamer, Harman and Mohney composed the team, while Manager Streamer substituted. Prospects are good for a new development in field sports this year and, no doubt, Susquehanna will again quickly take her rightful place among the colleges in her class.

A marked improvement was shown in this game and the visitors went down to defeat. In their first and only game played upon a foreign floor, at Mt.

This, together with the strange rules under which the game was played, could mean nothing other than defeat. Scores Sunbury Y. W. C. A. at Selinsgrove Sunbury High School at Selinsgrove Mt.

Page Hi ' Fifty A MODERN BLACK BEAUTY Or Dick ' a College Horse UST when I first gazed upon this old planet I do not know. My first recol- lections were of my mother, and the days we spent together in the green, shady meadows on the farm of our master — Mr. Kennelworth — located among the hills of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Happy indeed were those days when we could enjoy the quiet rest under the cool shade of the trees, the clear stream babbling by, and the birds singing in the branches overhead. As I think of those days I can- not help but feel sad — Mother has long ago departed this life, and I. too, have passed through many thrilling experiences since those early days on the farm. Those days of happiness and ease soon came to an end — Mother again took her place as the trusted family driver, while for me. new worlds were opened and new ex- periences came into my life. One day Max, Mr. Kennelworth ' s son, came down to the meadow as he often did; but this time he had some queer looking object hanging on his arm. He approached me and placed his arm around my neck, then he slipped the strange looking affair over my head. I learned afterward that it was a halter, and thus began the work of getting accustomed to my harness. Max proved a good and kind master, and I enjoyed doing anything for him; and, likewise, I was a great favorite of Max, and after being thoroughly broken in he always drove me when going out to any of the picnics or parties in the district. Thus the years rolled by, each day bringing its duties, but with such kind masters every task was a pleasure. Life, however, is not always one grand continuation of hap- piness. One morning when Max came to give us our morning meal and currying, I noticed that he was not of the same jovial nature; the smile and friendly pat were lack- ing, and the merry whistle which usually accompanied the work of currying was miss- ing. I felt sure that something was amiss, nor had I long to wait till my fears were verified, for Max ' s father came out to the stable shortly, and from their talk I discov- ered that misfortune had entered their happy home, and that in order to meet the finan- cial stress it would be necessary to dispose of their comfortable homestead. Max ' s heart was torn. Next to his parents and his brothers and sisters, was his fondness for me, and after his father returned to the house, he came to me and. throw- ing his arms about my neck, wept and wept. We had grown up together, as it were, and had become good chums, working together happily, and then at the week-ends thor- oughly enjoying our little outings or friendly races with the other boys of the com- munity. Never will I forget the day when I was taken away by my new owner. Mr. Harmid, who owned a large sale and exchange stable in Philadelphia. Max gave me the last fond caress, uttering words which I could scarcely understand, and I. likewise sorrowful and distressed, in my own brute way tried to make him understand how hard it was for me to leave this good home and kind master. What a life those poor city horses must spend! Only for a few weeks was I forced to remain in the city, but during that time I was filled with horror at the terrible sights Page One Fifty-one I beheld. The noise and rush of the city streets — the cruel manner in which many of the poor horses were treated — I could not help but shudder when I thought that pos- sibly such would be my fate. However, my fears were soon dispelled. One day a nice looking gentleman came into the stables, and. after looking at quite a few of the horses, stopped at my stall. Calling one of the stable attendants, he inquired about me. He desired to secure a good, gentle family horse and was pleased with my appearance. Upon hearing the facts told him by the attendant concerning me, he decided to purchase me. The following day I was taken away to my new home in another part of Philadel- phia. Arriving there, I at once felt sure that I would have a good home. As I was brought into the little yard in front of the neat-looking stable, Mrs. Marline and her two little daughters came to see me, and seemed highly pleased with me. Upon being taken into the stable I was surprised but happy to find at the other end a little pony. We began to talk together, and I soon learned that I had been most fortunate in being purchased by these kind folk. During another conversation the following day, Dan (for that was the pony ' s name), informed me that in several weeks we would be leaving the city for the summer, as the Marlines always spent the summer months at their cottage along the Juniata river. One day the girls came down to see me again. With them came a little dog wdiose name. Dan afterwards told me, was Beauty. This will constitute our family now, ' said Dan, after the girls had gone, and I can assure you that we will have a happy time to- gether ere the summer close- A few weeks later the hustle and rush of getting ready for the summer vacation began, and one bright, cheery morning we set out for our summer home, the girls in the.r little gig drawn by Dan, and my master and mistress in the carriage drawn by me. It was a most delightful journey as we traveled through the country just taking on its fresh Spring attire; the birds were chirping in the trees, and the little streams trickling by the roadside, while farther on in our journey we reached the broad and uriitly flowing Juniata. Soon after we reached our summer home. Here, surrounded by nature — looking out over the beautiful waters of the river — did we spend our days that summer. The hills and roadside abounded with beautiful flowers, and it was the delight of the girls and their mother to take a little drive and gather bouquets, Dan running by my side, wdiile Beauty delighted to amuse himself by barking at Dan or chasing the little chipmunks as they ran along the roadside. Glorious and happy days were they indeed, and all too soon came the signs of winter, and the return once again to the city. Thus twelve happy years passed by, when one day came the news that I would be taken to a new 7 home. I could scarcely realize that once again I would have to part with such good and kind friends, and it was with a heavy heart that I thought of my departure. Nevertheless the day came and the parting over, 1 was taken away to my new home. Upon arriving there I soon realized that a new field of experiences lay before me — my new purchaser being Dr. Chas. T. Aikens, President of Susquehanna University. Ere many weeks had passed I began to feel sure that I was again fortunate in secur- ing such a place for a home. Although I missed the companionship of the children and our rambles through the country, nevertheless I began to thoroughly enjoy my Col- lege Life, an experience so entirely new to me. In fact. I have since learned that very few horses ever get the opportunity to spend some of their years at a higher institu- i ii hi i if learning. Under the kind and careful attention of the University Registrar. Mr. Horton, I was well taken care of. Most likely I was rather green at first, but I soon became accustomed to my new duties at college. Page One Fifty-two Possibly there is nothing that gives a college student so much pleasure as to sit d iwn and recall the numerous college pranks in which he participated. In this respect at least, I am a bona fide student, for the boys at school welcomed me into their midst almost immediately upon my arrival upon the campus. I often heard of students using • ' ponies and horses, but never dreamt that I would be privileged to be of any assistance to them in any practical way. The 31st of October was drawing nigh, and as that day approached, the conversa- tion among the boys was full of suggestions and plans as to the nature of their pranks on Hallowe ' en. That night saw me initiated into the Royal Order of Student Pranks, and 1 was the victim. About one o ' clock in the morning I heard the murmuring of voices and soon I could hear the boys coming into the stable. I knew something was going to happen so I decided to use horse sense and play my part. Cautiously they crept into my stall speaking to me and assuring me that I was a ■ ' nice horse. Placing the halter upon me they led me forth int.. the night, down over lie campus to the boys ' dorm. Xow I had never been inside the boys ' building, nor had I ever expected to get inside. Nevertheless, the boys walked right up to the porch steps and wanted me to follow. I hesitated, scarcely knowing what to do, as I felt that a very important step in my life was now before me. After considerable coaxing on their part I decided to follow and with a certain degree of fear and uncertainty I ascended the steps and entered the dorm. Through the halls they led me until finally we came to an open door; this we entered and I found myself in one of the boys ' rooms. Amid much giggling and suppressed laughter they slipped my halter off; quietly left the room and closed the door. You can scarcely imagine the strange feeling that crept over my body. I knew not just where I was or what I was to do. I moved around the room cautiously (fearing that the floor would break through), and in this manner passed the remainder of the night. Day broke, and I looked out through the window and saw the janitor running to Mr. Horton ' s house. Soon they both walked down to the stable talking and gesti- lating in an animated manner. The morning passed with no signs of my being discovered; however, shortly after noon I saw Mr. Horton cross the campus and soon heard his cheery voice at the door of the room, Yoo Hoo. there you are. Dick, old boy! Why, how in the world did you ever get in here? He led me back to my stall and again I took up my regular duties around the campus. The balance of the Fall passed by without any special occurrence other than that on several occasions had it not been for the little horse sense which I possessed we might have had several accidents. On one occasion a Senior in college took girls out on a Geological trip, but instead of placing a bridle on me he simply fastened the lines to my halter — Mr. Horton noticed the error and adjusted matters. On another occasion the same Senior again took the girls out on a Geological trip. As we drove across the campus I thought there was a strange twitching to the shafts, but could not determine what caused it. Upon our return home a crowd of students greeted us with hoots and howls. Some fellow had rearranged the wheels of the carriage, one hind wheel in front and vice versa, and a dignified ami learned ( . ' ) Senior never knew- the difference. The following Spring I was again aroused by the whispering of some boys outside the stable. They began to pry open a window (the doors were always locked since Hallowe ' en), and soon they succeeded in getting in. Again they led me out on the campus. First one of the fellows jumped on my back, then another, and finally a third. Yes. I was beginning to get the backache, when they started me down into the campus. By this time I. too. was becoming interested in the affair and decided I would have some fun. so I started on the run. Well, I wish you could have heard those boys: — Hang on. Danow-k. grab Dick ' s neck or we will all go overboard. Quit, you ' re cho k- Page One Fifty-three ing me, Frey. Cut it out, I can ' t breathe. Look out, Xick, where you ' re going, you ' ll be off in a minute. Stop! Dick, Danowsk. Xick tumbled off — . Sure enough Nichols had tumbled off my back, but fortunately he landed right end up and soon came run- ning after us again none the worse for his downfall. The boys took me to a barn down town and placed me in a stall and then left me. I learned from their talk that it was Prexy ' s barn and that they wanted to play a prank on Mr. Horton again. It was not until the following afternoon that I heard voices, and soon the door opened and there stood Mr. Horton and Prexy. Well, now, those boys should not have done this. said the Doctor, whereupon Mr. Horton began to laugh and laugh. They surely did have me scared. Doctor. I telephoned the police at Sunbury saying that our horse was stolen and also called up the authorities at Middleburg about it. The whole country is looking for Dick and here he was all the time. The Doctor joined in with Mr. Horton and both had a good hearty laugh about the matter. The following week I was again aroused by hearing voices outside the stable door and then a twisting and crashing followed as if some one were cracking the lock. In a few minutes the door opened with a crash and three or four boys entered. I could tell at once that they were up to some prank and accordingly decided to play my part and enjoy it with them. They took me to a place in the middle of the campus beneath the trees, where I be- held a space enclosed in some kind of netting. Into this they led me after which the following conversation took place: Where do you have the paint. Judge? Over by the tree. Streamer, the brush is aside of the paint kettle. Bring Dick over here, where the shadows are not so deep, Keammerer. Say. boy ' s won ' t Dick look swell when we get him ' striped ' with white paint on his black hide? As they began to apply the paint to my body, I could feel the oily stuff running along the stripes made by it. and a creepy feeling swept over me from head to tip of tail, nor could I resist this treatment. I realized it was only a joke and being a young colt (26 years old). I was in for a joke myself, so I submitted to this treatment; enter- ing into the spirit of the thing, and realizing that Pa Horton and Doc Knights would thoroughly appreciate (???) my new suit — Sing Sing style — made by Harman, Streamer and Keammerer clothiers of S. U. I ' m getting a bit old now, having passed my twenty-seventh birthday last June. Nevertheless, I am enjoying my college course, and trust that I may be able to spend the remainder of my days here among the boys. Such good, jolly fellow-s. with their innocent fun and happy dispositions! I am not a member of the Honorable Faculty, yet in my own quiet and unassum- ing way I try to instill into those with whom I come in contact a little of that train- ing and wisdom which is embodied in horse sense.
