It is true that what wc understand as college education for women is ot comparatively recent date. F.lnm-a College claims the honor ot being the first woman ' s college in the United States. It was founded in 1855. Vassar College was organized six years later, in 1861; Smith in 1871 ; Wellesley in 1875. Mt. Holyoke reached full collegiate stand- ing in 1888, though she had tor fitty years held an honored place as a seminary, giving courses of instruction conceded to be almost equivalent to those ofFereti in the larger colleges tor men. But, though a period of sixty-five years will cover the life ot this educational movement, it has attained a strength and a general acceptance which make it no longer an open question whether woman is capable ot receiving higher intel- lectual training, or can prove herselt a more valuable member ot society by the use of her trained powers. Any effort to develop in Pittsburgh, trom existing tounda- tions, an institution ot the highest collegiate rank, distinctivelv tor women, is unlikely to find obstacles in what might be called the traditional objections of earlier days. DitTlculty in working out such a plan in our city will result rather from indifference than from hostility to the collegiate training of women, segregate or co-educational; and indifference must be due to a lack of knowledge of the needs and opportunities of the field. A consideration, therefore, of these needs and opportunities is timely and important; ami it will unques- tionably demonstrate the fact that no city in the Uniteil States offers a better field than does Pittsburgh for the tle- velopment of a woman ' s college, cultural in type, and ranking in equipment and in academic standing with the very best institutions now in existence. In the first place, we have a population in this region suf- ficient to support an institution of high academic rank. Care- ful estimates, based on the last census, show that we have within a radius ot fifty miles trom Pittsburgh a population approximating two and a halt millions, and within a ratlins of one hundred miles a population of probably four and a half millions. In the judgment of the General Education Board, a hundred-mile radius is considered a legitimate field for an educational institution, provided there be little or no local competition; and it so happens that within the hundred-mile radius from Pittsburgh as a center there are but two colleges distinctively for women. From the standpoint, then, of mere population, it is evident that the Pittsburgh district can sup- port a woman ' s college of the highest rank. Secondly, adequate preparation for entrance to college is being given to young people in the district. A recent school census shows that there are approximately 35,000 girls enrolled in the high schools within the hundred-mile radius of Pitts- a- I I 6- J J J „n.. ©Ij P nnsyluantan j I I j j j ' ■a burgh. With the rapid improvement observable in these high schools in matters of equipment, curricula, and methods ot instruction, it seems clear that they will become each year more efficient in their service, and will prepare increasing num- bers of young women for entrance into all the institutions ot the city. A well-equipped woman ' s college will imdoubtedly attract a large proportion of these students, and will in conse- quence find its sphere of usefulness steadily increasing. A third consideration is the need of a woman ' s college of high rank, devoting itself to the cultural type ot education, in a great, metropolitan center like Pittsburgh. It would stand in competition with no existing institution. We have here one of the greatest technical schools in America, with a woman ' s department which is very properly emphasizing vocational training. We have in the University ot Pittsburgh an insti- tution rapidly coming into its own, which, as it grows in equipment, will offer increasing opportunities for professional and graduate study. Its Arts Department will doubtless con- tinue to provide undergraduate courses offering co-educational facilities of high order; but its dominant emphasis, as a Uni- versity, must necessarily be placed upon its professional and graduate schools. These two institutions may secure all the students they can possibly accommodate under the most favorable conditions, and there will still be left ample material for a high-grade woman ' s college. Many girls, seeking a college education, prefer the segre- gate rather than the co-educational institution. This is abundantly evidenced by the enormous growth of the estab- lished women ' s colleges. In a smaller, though not less emphatic, manner it is proven by the enrollment of our own Penn- sylvania College for Women. In 1906 the enrollment of students in the regular college course numbered but twenty- three. In 191 9 they number one hundred and thirty-seven, a growth of almost 600 per cent. This number includes only students who are candidates tor the Bachelor of Arts degree. It such growth is possible with our present limited facilities, now taxed to their capacity, what might we not expect with an enlarged plant, equippied in thoroughly modern fashion? Many students, ot course, have a strong predilection for the co-educational college; many others have not. From this latter class will come the patronage tor a woman ' s college. These observations bear with equal force in respect to vocational or technical training. Not all students are at- tracted to institutions offering this type of instruction, and many who desire to follow technical pursuits desire a broad foundation of liberal training as a preliminary thereto. This is unquestionably the ideal procedure whenever possible, and it is to be regretted that economic pressure often prevents mdividuals from the full enjoyment ot a cultural trainmg which would have profited them greatly. It must be borne in mind that the distinction, after all, between so-called vocational and cultural institutions lies in spirit and end rather than in cur- ricula. The chief difference is not one of values, but ot ulti- mate purpose. Technical or vocational training, irrespective of its intellectual content, has an immediate utilitarian end in view. Liberal or cultural training, on the other hand, lacks this element of immediacy. It is liberal in that it does not focus upon some special line of work tor immediate realization. Cultural training purposes to view human life in its larger aspects, not selecting some phase thereof for exclusive study, but seeking to comprehend all of life in its broader relation- ships, and to give the individual an intellectual grip upon it ! ©ij P nnsijluantau in its widest scope. No type of training will achieve these ends more successfully than that which is given in the modern college for women. In the fourth place, Pittsburgh has the wealth to support a college for women of the highest rank. The investment necessary to provide for an initial unit of 500 students would not be prohibitive. All the women ' s colleges began with very modest initial investments; and a college such as we need here should not be projected along extravagant lines. Buildings antl equipment should be the best in material and design, but constructed with due regard to service and simplicity. That Pittsburgh has the financial ability to maintain such an insti- tution there is no question. We have in this great city a popu- lation certainly not less responsive to civic and educational ideals than can be found in other communities that have handsomely endowed and are generously supporting colleges for women of high rank. It is not unreasonable to believe that Pittsburgh will do the same thing when her attention is focused upon the need and advantages of such an institution. She has already given evidence of her deep interest in things educational by the provisions made for the University, and by her zeal for the prosperitv of everv worthy enterprise. To be sure, there are many urgent calls upon the benevolence of this city. This, however, will always be true. It is the price that men and women pay for residence in a community like our own. The more we invest in colleges and other enter- prises that have as their object our moral and social welfare, the better and more wholesome wdl our municipal life become. This brings us, therefore, to our conclusion, namely, that m the Pennsylvania College for Women we already have an institution nearly fifty years of age, whose record of splendid work and academic standards justifies its development into a larger and more commanding institution. The time is ripe for such a movement. The larger colleges for women in New England and the East are rapidly approaching their limits in respect to enrollment. Entrance lists in the larger of them are full for two or three years in advance. This condition calls for the establishment of other colleges of equal rank. What reason is there to believe that our own Pennsylvania College for Women may not become as strong as these larger institu- tions? Is Baltimore or Poughkeepsie necessarily more at- tractive than Pittsburgh as an educational center? Is there any reason why a strong woman ' s college should not draw students from the South and West as well as from our im- mediate environment? The same factors that have given the standard colleges for women their prestige will do the same for us here in Pittsburgh. A modern physical equipment, a cur- riculum developed under cultural ideals, but flexible enough to meet present-day conditions, and a faculty of sufficient size and academic equipment to attract and hold the best type of students — these are the requisites demanded tor a woman ' s col- lege of the highest type. Let us, then, as students and faculty, believe in the possi- bilities of growth and development that lie ahead of us. Let us think in terms of a larger Pennsylvania College for Women. Let us talk in terms of a larger Pennsylvania College for Women, and then by every means within our power let us concentrate on the achievement of this desirable and worthy object. John C.

Cox Secretary Marjorie Errett Treasurer Senior Class History X the class of Nineteen-nineteen P. C. W. has had the oppor- tunity of coming in contact with a social group of the most modern type. Organization and cooperation (if I may venture to employ these rarely used words) have won for us the title The class that always agrees. In these days when world peace and an international court are in the foreground of the public mind, what can be more interesting and valuable to the college as a whole than to have, right here in their midst, a social group which has never been known to resort to force, but which settles all subjects expediently and agreeably in a common council? We are twenty- nine in number. We are a class with a government tor the twenty-nine, of the twenty-nine, and by the twenty-nine. We all want the best, and there is only one best. Therefore we agree. We made our first bow to P. C. W. in September, 191 5. The first day we bought books and got settled, the second day we spent getting acquainted, and the third day we began to live and do things as a class. Miss Coolidge, with her keen powers of discernment, appointed Laura Taber chairman, and we, appreciating those keen powers, later elected her to the presidency. Who can describe briefly the thrills and joys of that first year? If this Annual were a Senior history, I might, through the use of local color and what not, convey to the reading public life as we lived it. But my space is limited — therefore only the trained Senior mind will grasp the meaning of the things I mention. Those enlightening hours ot Math, and History, usually the Freshman bugbears, were dear to the heart of every true sister of the Ro.se and White. -Ah! remember the day our sister class 1917 handed tho.se colors down to us! Memories of that class always bring that old song we had in common — How do you do, 191 7, how do you do; Is there anything that we can do for you? Every day that melody floated back and forth from den to den, and they certainly Stood by us like a man, everyone of them. The tea given by Miss Coolidge, the glorious banner she gave us; Miss Green ' s party; our first mid-year dance — can ' t you just see these things as if they had happened yesterday? The Pittsburgh public obtained its first view of us when we distributed our members over the campus to dance in the Shakespearean festival. We played our noblest stroke when we chose our honorary member — There is a fine Lady whose name is Miss Green, And with 1919 she ' ll always be seen. .Although our class colors are old rose and white, We addeil some Green for we knew it was right. It was not until the Sophomore year that the real influence ot this group began to make itself felt upon the groups in less advanced stages of civilization. Heretofore they had not reali .ed that as far as the perfect class was concerned the millennium had come. But now we taught them that the secret of true school and class spirit lay in a well-balanced school life, and that enthusiasm in all phases of activity will develop an all-round class. Nor did we neglect the ajsthetic sense. Our den (that room in which so many great things have been planned and talked over) was furnished and decorated with the express purpose of creating an atmosphere con- ducive to study. The tall, stately walls are covered with paper of purest white, upon which a few paintings (not too many) and prints (finger prmts) are artistically arranged. The rays of sun sifting through the rose-colored hangings (and fading them) light the room by day, and at night the gleam of the graceful chandelier may be brought forth by a knowledge of the combination and a simple twist of the wrist. Color Day was a great day this year. I refer to the extemporaneous flag rush. This did not appear on the printed program, but took place owing to the spontaneous outburst of the participants. Strange to say, it has since been omitted from the color-day events. This year for the first time we dipped into the realm of chemistry. We began to drink H.p instead of water. Freshmen drink water, but Sopho- mores wouldn ' t think of such a thing— they drink H.,0. That laboratory 0- l}e P nttBijluatttan I tc!i was n mcmoral)!c function. It will linger in our memories longer, I am afraid, than the hclovcd Analysis. Florence Farr was the high executive this year and, accoinpanied by Miss Green, led our Sophomore cotillion in state. When we started the year as Juniors, the United States was at war and we all wanted to go straight to France as ambulance drivers and can- teen workers. However, we were told that we could help more by sending our Frcsident, Dr. Acheson, to h ' rance and staying where we were. War activities took the place of the social. We entered into them with a will. Augusta Rogers of our class became the Chairman of the P. C. W. Red Cross auxiliary. We went over the top in everything we undertook, bought Liberty Honds instead of Class rings, and last, but not least, brought our grandfathers to the miil-year dance. By way of relaxation from war work, wc carried off the championship of the School in basketball, baseball, and hockey, led by our President, Klinor McFJlroy (commonly known as Ruddy ). In A)iril we became the proud if somewhat awkward possessors of caps and gowns, and wore them to chapel, blushing like so many brides. Our last year in College will go down to jiosterity as the bititjest year in the history of time — the World War came to an end, and the class of 19H; graduated. What a ye;U ' to begin to live out in the world! There are so many opportunities tor work — so much work to be tione, anil we are going to help ilo it. The first semester was broken up by the enforced ? ( vacation, so things had to be done in double-quick time. A patriotic party — our last party — was given to the School and I know they will never forget the reality of that trench scene or the clearness of that bugle call as it rang out on the still night air. An innovation appeared in the form of a slenderly fashioned, unadorned bookcase tor the den. Gone were the beloved cubby-holes, those moilel catch-alls. What can replace the satisfaction of knowing that when one placed an object in one ' s very own cubby, it would be there when one wanted it? In spite of all this we soon transferred our affections to the bookcase, because it added to the attractiveness of our den. touch, for what is a room without books! It added the needed In January a whirlwind that had been gathering force for months swept down upon us and caught us up in its power— the Fiftieth Anni- versary of the Pennsylvania College for Women. A great rally was held to give vent to some of the enthusiasm, and our representation of P. C. W. in if 45 showed how high our ambitions soar and what we want for the College. There was one thing that hurt — we would not be in College for her fiftieth birthday. We have reached a goal — we arc Seniors, but the exhilaration is tempered by a queer feeling when we think of next year. This okl hill, these ivy-covered buildings and the things they stand for, have become so much a part ot our lives that it is very hard to leave. We wilt go out into other fields, but we mean it when we say — Old Nineteen ' s going away. But back in a year we ' ll be; We ' ll tell you now that n s a-coniin ' To the Anniversary. We are coming back for the Anniversary and for many other great days which we believe the College will have. Some have called us the class that never grew up because we have not grown into grave and noble Seniors. Our motto is eternal youth with its accompanying enthusiasm. What matter if we do not wear our gowns with such calm liignity — if our caps are a little askew? We have energy and pep, and this is the age of these two qualities. And when we ' re wrinkled and old and gray, And all our best ilays have been seen — When the census-man asks us our age we ' ll say. We ' re all just nineteen-nineteen. Oh nineteen-nineteen, oh nineteen-nineteen, Come cheer for good old nineteen — Let ' tempus fugit ' to us that will mean, We ' re onlv nineteen-nineteen. — K.

Treasurer ■47 Junior Class History lINETEEN-TWRNTY announced their arrival by a gasp. This indicated not despair upon a sudden realization of the immensity of the task set before them, but relief for that passed — the famous steps of P. C. VV. These steps, too, which led to the top of the hill and a diploma, were found to be symbolic of their future. First, there was the slight ascent at the bottom; that was the acclimation and getting-acquainted period, and it was rapidly traversed. When two girls confer as to whether PVench or Spanish is the lesser evil, and wonder if Medieval History and F ' reshman Math are so very terrible, they can ' t help having something of a kindred spirit even though they were total strangers a quarter of an hour previous. Oppor- tunities for such conferences were numerous, since 1920 im- mediately decided to profit by the experience of their prede- cessors and to weigh carefully the respective hardships of each course before electing it. Not that they shunned or dreaded the flight of steps which rose immediately before them — no indeed. Rather did they desire so to arrange their schedules that they might have opportunity and energy to engage in the really important activities of the college, and that they might be spared the pain of grieving their instructors by oft-repeated failures. As it happened, however, the newcomers were so cheerily greeted by the students and faculty with speeches, teas, and parties, that they had ascended several of the thirteen Fresh- man steps before they were well aware that they had started. Early in their career the class began to exhibit their natural brilliancy. A remarkably short time sufficed to learn which teachers could be bluffed some, and which not at all; to learn how often classes could be cut with a moderate degree of safety; and to acquire proficiency in inventing innumerable and ingenious excuses for missing gym. While growing wise in the ways of the world, they received their class colors, the green and white, which were bequeathed to them by 1916 and given to them by the Juniors, their sister class. Almost before they realized it, the time came to elect their class officers. Since Betty Shipley was rather well acquainted with the school, they made her president, and Miss Ely, who had sponsored them so successfully thus far, was persuaded to continue as honorary member. The most important factor in forming the life and char- acter of the day girls was the den. In that much-abused room they gathered to discuss every conceivable topic from lessons to love affairs, and the ability which many of them were to exhibit later as housewives was displayed in the neat- ness with which everyone piled her books and gym shoes on the table or laid her middies carefully on the shelves! It was on the twelfth step, in June, that they learned their beloved Miss Coolidge, who had been beckoning to them from the top of the hill, would not return in the fall, but the class soon discovered that it was not at all hard to become attached 4 ! t}t p nnsijluantatt I i I to their new guide, Miss Root, and she inspired them to re- newed efforts when their zeal lagged or they grew breathless from the climb. When they began the second flight, many of the original sixty, alarmed at the sight of the sixteen unbroken steps before them, preferred to remain on the landing, but the dauntless ones felt even more closely bound together, for behold, they now were the old girls, and they looked down upon the Freshman with truly awe-inspiring contempt. The members of 1920 were by this time well informed as to cinch courses, and the making out of schedules presented fewer diffi- culties. Though it not infrequently happened that they felt they had been wantonly deceived in regard to the cinches, yet by applying their knowledge of the idiosyncrasies of the faculty, they managed to get along. The spring before they had elected Clara Graham president, and under her guidance they pressed bravely forward. Almost everyone ' s chief amusement now was lab. This was a valid and substantial excuse for everything under the sun. Were they asked to do anything outside of school, lab always interfered; were they too sleepy to even look intelli- gent in class, it was because they had stayed up all night writing experiments or learning formulas. Only one who was herself undergoing the experience could begin to realize its wide and far-reaching effects. And on days when there was no lab, there was Red Cross, and on days when there was no Red Cross, there were club meetings, for every organization in the college was honored by some members of 1920. These meetings came generally on Wednesday afternoons, for at the beginning of this second flight the plague of a six-day schedule had descended upon them and formed an endless topic of conversation, on which they expressed themselves convincingly and eloquently. It was 1920 who originateci the petition to return to a Saturday holiday, though their zeal for Red Cross and surgical dressings led them later to decide that it really was a necessary evil. It was while they were standing on the thirteenth step of this second flight {hat Dr. Acheson sailed for France with the y. M. C. A., and no one could have been so thrilled when he returned as 1920, nor have hung so earnestly on every word he uttered about his experiences over there. So they dragged their weary feet to the summer house which marked vacation, and sitting there to rest, with soine measure of satisfaction they surveyed the arduous way which they had come, and the next incline with its steps which led to the long-desi red diploma and to which distance lent a less rugged aspect. Here some few deserted for war-time positions — lured by men or by money — but the greater part remained, and Julia Aspinwall returned to take her place as leader, though for a while her classmates feared she might not. The influenza provided a long breathing spell on the first slope, and for one whole month each member of the class developed self-reliance and ingenuity by amusing herself with no movies, no theaters, and no dances. Scarcely was the climb recommenced when the armistice was signed and all their compressed energy was expended in celebrating. Then there was a new topic of conversation in the den, and mingled with plans for the college ' s Fiftieth Anniversary was talk of days when Pittsburgh would be No Man ' s Land no longer, and 1920, diplomas in hand, noses powdered, and frills flying, would join the learned multitude in the rarefied atmosphere at the top of the hill. — E.

SOPHOMORE Sophomore Class Officers Frances Frederick President Marjorie Caughey Vice-President Frances Ludwick Secretary-Treasurer 6S Sophomore Class History Y daughter, it grieves me to the soul that thou hast spoken thus. Thou dost not beheve in fairies or their gifts! But thou art young and canst not know the world as well as I. Listen, my daughter. In a certain great city there is a college which crowns a hill, upon which t he eyes of the world are fastened in wonder- ment and hope. Ah, a nod! Thou, too, hast heard — but who has not? Thou knowest its past and the glory of its present — but thou dost not know the secret of that glory. Listen once again. Long years ago the wise men, in that city of which we speak, conceived a great idea. They should found a college for the daughters of men that should be as a beacon light to humanity. Many months passed and still they toiled. Late one night, as they bent over their mighty plans, a sudden glory filled the room. Lifting dazed and weary eyes, they beheld a slender figure in a radiance of light. Fear held their souls. The vision spoke: Oh men, wise above all others, I have seen thy plans and read thy thoughts and have found them good. And so I give thee three gifts. The first is this: Thy college shall live forever and the world shall know it; the second, this — it shall stand upon a mighty hill, toward which men shall turn their eyes as toward a guiding star; and — here the vision paused a moment and then her voice took on a note of prophecy, — Listen, oh men, for this is the best gift of all. There shall come a time, many years hence, whose glory shall be to the glory of all other times as the radiance of the sun is to the glimmer of the candle. Four short years shall it endure, but it shall linger always in the memory of the world. Thus she spoke and vanished. And so the college was born, and it grew and it flourished. Each year they watched for the promised glory, but it did not come, and always, through the vast halls, there reigned a hushed expectancy. B ut alter long waiting it did come — but one year ago. In the fall it was that they mounted the hill — they came, and still they came, and in their faces was the radiance of youth and in their eyes the wisdom of the ages. Ah, a smile! Thou hast heard. Thou knowest their great deeds — how they solved the problems of Euclid and Archi- medes in a single night, and rivaled the poets of the ages with the beauty of their verse. Hast thou heard of that one mad night when they became as bears and lions and held high revelry? Dost thou know that one bright day they fought, and strove, and won the race, like unto the firstborn of Ol ympus Ah, my daughter! it is enough. There have been mighty deeds done, but yet the crystal shows me mightier ones. No, my daughter, thou canst not see. For thou — thou dost not believe in fairies or their gifts. — M.

We are proud that our college has kept pace with the times and has a social service department. The evolution of this department has been rapid and it has a glowing future. The course, which includes economics, sociology, immigration, and other practical and theoretical subjects, is arranged to occupy two vears when undertaken by a special student who is a candidate for a certificate. A certificate means that the owner has completed her course, that she knows her city and its philanthropic agencies, and that she has done practical work under the direction of professional social workers. It means more than this — it means that the girl has a working knowledge of the topics of the day, for social questions cannot be separated from political, economic, and natural questions. 72 I I J I -a- S lj P nnsgluantan j I j Social Service Graduates Marie Armstrong Elizabeth P.

The Cora Helen Coolidge Club, so named because of Miss Coolidge ' s live interest in the department, was founded in 1918. The aim of this club, which has met with great success, is to bring the social-service graduates and under- graduates into close cooperation and understanding ot each other ' s interests. In a broader sense, the aim is to study and discuss the social problems of the day. — E. W, ' 19. 73 The whole course forms an excellent background for immediate professional work or for further advanced study. Aside from the practical value, the ideal accomplishment of the course is of vital importance — personal service to man- kind. More than one third of those who have completed the course have entered some form of professional social work, others are active in the volunteer field. They may be found in many types of social work. We have two girls overseas — one with the Red Cross and one with the Y. W. C. A. We Music Graduates Mabel W. Shane Florence M. Farr, ' 19 The School of Musical Art HE Department of Music was established in the College in response to a desire to supply the in- creasing demand for musical instruction. More and more has the value of fine arts and the ad- vantage of a musical training for developing the moral, mental, and aesthetic faculties become recognized in education. Modern educators are universal in their belief that infor- mation and general knowledge of music are integral parts of a good general education. The course is open to all, for it serves as credit for the Bachelor ' s Degree, and by additional work in the department the Music Certificate may be obtained. The mental drill and training obtained from the accurate memorization and execution of a composition, which pre- suppose perfect cooperation between the mind and the muscles, are invaluable. Opportunities are given the energetic student to appear in recitals and concerts. Through these appearances in public the qualities of self-mastery and self-control, as well as mental poise and confidence, are acquired. As an art, music is the medium of self-expression. The Old Masters as well as the modern ones found that they could put into their music thoughts, ideals, and emotions which their lips could never have uttered. And so, by close contact with these masterpieces, through constant study, unconsciously character is formed. For these reasons one must certainly feel that music entails many ad- vantages and opportunities, moral, mental, and a?sthetic, for the diligent student. — F. M.

As speeches are very important in campaigns. Spoken English was the subject chosen, and this course has been popular ever since. All kinds of speakers are trained — ex- temporaneous speakers, five-minute speakers, orators, and debaters. Some of these students have shown such marked ability that they have been taken into the Dramatic Club and have there exhibited much talent. The course of study is a very interesting one. In the be- ginning, a good foundation is laid by learning about such fundamentals as inflection of the voice, value of the pause, and the correct standing position. The reading of short but pleasing selections to illustrate these points makes the subject one of pleasure rather than work. At the end of each semester a recital is given by the students, and in this way interest is kept alive. As a student advances she becomes more and more interested, for A Study of the Drama and such authors as Browning are taken up with an ever-increasing delight. In case a student so desires, she may take private lessons, and the results of this extra time is best shown by the delight- ful recital given at the end of the year. This is always a great success, with something new and unusual, as is everythin g else under Miss Kerst ' s able direction. The Spoken English Department is one department that the college could not afford to lose, for it is of interest and great benefit to all who come in contact with it, besides being a source of diversion anci entertainment to those not con- cerned. It has developed more than one Student Government President, and for that alone we owe it all praise. — E. P., ' 20. 76 Art Department DEPARTMENT which contributes very largely to the delights of college life and which does more than any other department to further in- terest in student activities, is the Art Department. Miss Anna Belle Craig, well-known artist and illustrator, has charge of this work, and instruction is given in illustrating, painting, sketches, and design. This course receives no academic credit, yet the enrollment is large, a number of regular college students, besides the specialists in art, having directed their interests along this line. The most prominent influence which the work of this de- partment exerts is revealed in its relation to college activities. It is a well-known fact that people are attracted by clever advertisements, and advertising school affairs by means of posters, cartoons, and sketches is the popular monopoly of the art students. Again and again girls have been heard to remark, upon looking at a Young Women ' s Christian Asso- ciation poster or a club announcement, Looks mighty inter- esting — let ' s go. In connection with entertainments, such details as hand- painted invitations, place-cards, and programs aid in a large measure in making the afl air much more attractive than would otherwise have been the case. But the department is not important in a local way only. Designs for holiday and feature cards, which originate in Miss Craig ' s studio, oftentimes find themselves duplicated and put on the market at Christmas and Easter, and at various other seasons throughout the year. The Department makes a specialty of work in illustrating, and greater opportunities are offered in this line than in any other. The field is the largest and most promising in a com- mercial way, especially in advertising, where so many of the ideas are carried out in drawings. A studio tea and exhibit, to which friends of the college are invited, is held each year in the spring, and from time to time work of the Department has appeared on exhibits at Carnegie Institute. — M.

Business schools and colleges promising stenographic profi- ciency in ninety days presented glowing advertise- ments and testimonials, and many students were torn between a desire to finish their academic courses and an eagerness to enter into more active work. To meet these demands and to com- bine business with pleasure — the pleasure arising from a pursuit of irregular verbs, elusive formulas, and complex analyses — Dr. Acheson inaugurated a course m shorthand and typewriting. This course was open to the chosen few who were in their Junior or Senior years and who were carrying the regular amount of academic work. It was decidedly an extra, and an upper-class course, though, after many requests, it was opened also to students specializing in Social Service. Mr. E. A. Zartman, in charge of the business courses at the Central Y. M, C. A., and Educational Director in many of the local high-schools, was chosen as instructor. Very shortly twelve typewriters and thirty Gregg Manuals were installed on the third floor of Dilworth Hall. From the beginning the course was popular. The influenza epidemic nearly proved fatal, but the work was again well under way at the time the armistice was signed. Although most of the students had elected the course with war-time positions in view, everyone was now so interested in the work itself — the queer hooks and curves of shorthand, and the click of the typewriters, which had begun to exercise a peculiar and baffling attraction of their own — that the course was still continued, although it was now a non-essential as a war measure. Although Mr. Zartman had to give up the class at the end of the first semester, it was voted to continue it under the able guidance of Mr. Arthur E. Cole. No additional credit was given for the hour-and-a-half periods, which came twice a week. A business course in a cultural college was an innovation — an elective added to the curriculum to meet a popular demand and given as a special privilege. 78 WAR WORK STUDENT GOVERNMENT ' . . YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION PUBLICATIONS CLUBS 79 Student Government Association HF. Student Government Association is organized to control matters of college interest and discipline. Every student is a member of this association, the executive power of which is vested in a Student Government Board, chosen by the students. This Board, is made up of the President and the Vice-President, who are Seniors; the Secretary, a Junior; and a Treasurer from the Sophomore Class, together with two additional members from the Junior and Freshman classes. The Student Council is a new means of cooperation between faculty and students. The membership is composed ot the Student Government Board, together with five faculty members, including the President and Dean of the college. Dormitory life in Berry and Woodland Halls is controlled by the respective Student Government House Boards, which consist of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and two addi- tional members. After much discussion and trial, the Honor System has been in operation since last year, and it is generally conceded that there has been a vast improvement over the old monitor system. Miss Margaret Hamilton, our Student Government Presi- dent, honorably filled the place of Student Government Presi- dent at the Student ' s National Conference at E.agles Mere, where the system was successfully carried out. YOUNG WOMEN ' S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Y. W. C. A. is perhaps the largest activity of our college life. It represents the organized work of the student world in upholding the highest ideals of Christian teaching and living. The membership and meetings are open to all the girls, and almost the entire school responds. Aside from the devotional meetings, the Bible-study groups have been an important feature. The Association is largely represented at the annual conference at F .agles Mere, where the different college societies are kept in touch with each other and helped in their work by student secretaries. This spring P. C. W. sent five delegates to Eagles Mere. No girl can attend one of these conferences without being roused to greater earnestness in her work for her Master through the Association. The Association contributes to philanthropic and missionary work both at home and abroad, and is re- sponsible for the equipment of a room in the Central Y. W. C. A. building in Pittsburgh. Madras College, India, is our sister college, where our foreign interest centers. Miss Kamala Cornelius, one of the 191 8 members o( the society, is now a member of the faculty of that college. Much local work is carried on by the members, and through the Social Service Department the girls take an active part in the Christian work of the city. During the past year the Association sent a mem- ber of the Cabinet to the National Conference at Evanston, Illinois. The Association work is undoubtedly one of the most im- portant features of college life, since for every girl there is work which will not only broaden her own view of life but will add to her ability to help other girls. OMEGA Omega has a membership chosen with respect to scholar- ship and literary ability. The members of the club are limited i J j i i S;t| P nnsgluantan i j j j j j to twenty who have been recommended by the Head of the EngHsh Department. The work of the society is the promo- tion of an interest in literature and the providing of oppor- tunities for practice in the art of expression. In addition to the regular meetings, the society annually holds one open meeting for the presentation of a special program. Russian Novelists from Gogol through Tolstoi was the subject of study during 1917-18, while the past year has been devoted to American Humorists. PHI PI Phi Pi was organized in November, 191 6. The members are those students taking work in the Latin and Greek De- partments. The aim of the club is to create a more alert interest in the classics by discussing at the club meetings in- teresting topics for which there is not time in the regular classroom work. This is accomplished by the presentation of Greek and Latin plays, tableaux, and attractive programs. Papers keep the members informed upon current literature bearing upon the study of Latin and Greek. A successful production of the society was the presentation of the Menaechmi of Plautus, given for the entertainment of the Classical and Dramatic Associations of America when they held their annual conventions in the city. During the past year the occasion of receiving new members was fittingly celebrated by a Roman banquet. CERCLE FRANCAIS The French Club held its first meeting in November, 1918, when a constitution was adopted and the officers elected. Miss Ely, head of the French Department, together with Miss Starr and Miss Merritt, were the club ' s first hostesses. The members are those students taking advanced French. There have been French lectures, games, and p lays, together with 81 studies ot French literature. The members are afiiliated with the Alliance Francaise ot the city, and entertained that or- ganization by the presentation of a French drama. CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chemistry Club has a membership chosen with re- spect to scholarship and scientific ability, and is limited to advanced Chemistry students. The club meetings are given over to scientific discussions which include papers upon the latest progress along chemical lines, and lectures by noted chemists. The club entertains the Sophomore class of the college annually in the laboratory — the occasion being that of the famous chemistry teas. Dr. Garner, head of the Chem- istry Department, directs the work of the club. POLITY CLUB The Polity Club is new this year, having been formed to afford an opportunity for study and discussion of national and international problems and all leading topics of current interest. The membership is open to the school, and the work is directed by the History Department. Papers are pirepared by the members, and pirominent speakers secured. The League of Nations was the subject of the first meeting. DRAMATIC CLUB Up until the year 1918 the Dramatic Club was an invi- tation club. The members, after being recommended by the Department of Spoken English, were voted upon by the other members of the club. The society had for its work the critical study of pieces of dramatic literature as a means of personal culture for its members, and the occasional presenta- tion of carefully selected plays. In 1918 the club changed its constitution by admitting into its membership all those in the student body who desired dramatic training. The club 0,. j j j 6- I I I ©tjj P ttttByluantan I j I j -6 has planned for the pubhc presentation of four plays during the year 1918-1919. The first of these, The Evergreen Tree, by Percy Mackaye, included the entire school in its caste, and was given in conjunction with the Glee Club as a benefit for the Armenian and Syrian Relief. BIRD CLUB The Bird Club is Nature ' s club. Study is made in man ' s laboratory, while practical work is afforded in the laboratory of Nature. The variety of birds found about school supply observation for numerous field trips. During the winter months many birds who dare to brave the climate have cause to return sincere thanks to the club, although they have been rather more slow to appreciate the efforts at sanitation directed toward them. MANDOLIN CLUB The Mandolin Club is made up of girls who play the man- dolin or guitar. The club is particularly fortunate this year in having as director Mr. Liefeld, prominent composer, con- cert artist, and leader. The club answers many calls for its entertainment in and about the city, and with the Glee Club, in conjunction with one of the men ' s colleges, renders the popular Spring Concert. A very successful concert of the season was that given for the Year Book. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club furnishes an excellent opportunity for train- ing m voice. The club is made up of two distinct types of P. C. W. giris— namely, those in the Music Department who can smg, and those girls of the college who want to learn to sing. Mr. Walter Wild directs the club, assisted by Miss Emma Selmeir. The members of the society make up the 82 College Choir, which leads the singing at regular chapel serv- ices. The girls respond to many calls for their services at college affairs and occasionally in the city. The club has two annual concerts. A concert with the Mandolin Club opens the season. The Spring Concert has, for the past two seasons, been given with the Mandolin and Glee Clubs of Carnegie School of Technology. PROGRAM OF THE JOINT CONCERT FOR 1918 I.

Keep the Home Fires Burning Notiells Solo by Mr. Olsen The Star-Spangled Banner Key Joint Clubs War Activities We can ' t vote and we couldn ' t have an S. A. T. C, hut P. C. VV. has been at war! From the very first we were enlisted, untrained, and awkward, but soon trained into marching order and ready to go Over the Top in any new drive. Our first drill was in the conventional and accepted tactics, — we gave money, formed our own Red Cross auxiliary, and subscribed to Liberty Loans and various reliefs, while we upset the first convention in making the Senior Play of 1917 a benefit for the war work of the Y. M. C. A. A First Aid Class with 105 registered members was this year organized and directed by a force of five physicians, and many were the unsung heroes who permitted themselves to be martyrs to the cause in preparation for the examination. So zealous were these practitioners that we really alm ost suspected that they would like to break our arms or collar-bones, or even to drown us, in order to demonstrate their efficiency. The next fall, after various war activities during the sum- mer, we felt that we had the fundamental ideas of formation and discipline, so now, like our brothers across the seas, we started out on our own. We didn ' t storm machine guns with fixed bavonets, but we did storm many customs. Miss White, returning from her home in Gettysburg, brought us touching tales of conditions in the camp there. Her plea was for coat- hangers! We were sympathetic, — we were indignant that the Government did not provide these necessities. Promptly we began our campaign. We requisitioned all the hangers about the house, and it certainly was an assorted lot of draftees that we sent to camp. We had learned, however, to discard non- essentials, and no padded, painted, silk covered, flower bedecked recruits answered this roll call. Red Cross, of course, consumed much of our time and had its place on our schedules just as our classes. Knitting we accepted as our own. How our grandmothers would have rejoiced could they have heard our constant song, knit two, purl two ! We were surprised and grieved to learn that our latest achievement was frowned upon as a non-essential in- dustry in lecture and class, but we made up for lost tune at dinner and on the street cars. The problem of obtaining maids had been growing more and more serious as there were so many alluring situations offering. For a time we suffered in silence, then was born that genius which arises out of great and trying situations. Financiers have taken advantage of labor conditions, and we would do likewise. Eagerly we tried the experiment, and the result was conclusive. Where is the scoffer who claims that a cultural education unfits a girl for sweet domesticity ? — we made excellent waitresses! We worked in shifts, and had things down to a system, — and we never broke a single dish ! (Now we realize that we should have received a bonus for this lack of casualties in maimed and wounded.) Best of all, however, we were drawing real wages which we devoted to various reliefs, while by the expenditure of one month ' s salary and Miss Starr ' s gift we became the proud possessors of a knitting machine. At Christmas time we again exerted our originality in concocting a vast number of gift packets for the soldiers. Some girls didn ' t believe in furnishing playing cards and tobacco, but for once they silenced their Puritan ancestry and chose cigarettes conscientiously and, we hope, wisely! A new importance seemed now to rest heavily upon sev- 83 j l} P nnBgluantan I I I eral of the girls. Anxious care and matronly pride struggled for place, tor, know you, they were marraines with the awful responsibility of properly bringing up god-sons many years their elders, and quite hardened in their exclusive use of the French tongue. Everyone, of course, wanted to go to France,— felt indeed that a great mistake was being made in keeping us at home, but IVliss Coolidge rather disillusioned us by telling us quite frankly that the work was being done by older women who hadn ' t time to chaperone us! Compensation came, however, m the honor that was conferred upon our President, who was sent overseas with a Y. M. C. A. commission. We hated to see him go, but the song composed for the occasion is a fitting index to our feelings: To Dr. Acheson (Tune: Mr. Dooley ) They ' ve called our noble President To sail across the sea; He ' s fine, he ' s patriotic, He ' s as brave as he can be. We ' ll lend him to our country Since he ' s needed for the war. Our hearts go too; our love is true; We hear our country ' s call. Chorus: At Pennsylvania, at Pennsylvania There are loyal hearts a-plenty as you will; - We ' re proud to lend him. We ' re glad to send him From Pennsylvania College on the Hill. With what superior pride we announced to all those whose presidents had remained at the heads of their institutions of 84 learning, Yes, Dr. Acheson is in France with a Y M C A commission! Then upon his return, how we hung upon ' his every word, following him around like so many adoring children pleading for stories, and we meant it when we sang: (Tune: We ' re Going Over ) He ' s just been over, he ' s Just been over; Now we have him safe at home And we ' ll never let him roam Away from college without our knowledge; Tho ' he works for the U. S. A., We ' re glad he ' s here. And we ' ll give a mighty cheer— Rah! Rah! Rah! As we greet him here to-day. It was this spring that we took part in the mammoth Women s Parade upon the occasion of the Third Liberty Loan and very important were the Committee in cap and ' gowns, ' with their banner at their head, until, passing over the bridge ' someone cried, Oh, there goes the P. C. W. faculty. To this day it is a debated question between Committee and Faculty as to just whom the compliment belongs. Now we felt that we wanted to do something more than Red Crossing and knitting, and were urgent in our desire for a P. C. W. farm. Many of us signed up as prospective farmerettes and began to read diligently upon how to grow beautiful cabbages, and the pest of the potato bug, but we were doomed to disappointment as the Western Pennsylvania farmers were not educated up to the point of appreciating the great atlvantages of B. A. raised corn and tomatoes. Some of our masculine friends were rather disposed to laugh at our ambition, claiming it only a fad. This we can refute absolutely, for the farmerette costume wouldn ' t have been becoming to all of us, while freckles and sunburn we abhor! j j j Stj P nnsijluantan i j j .6- Still, however, we have a claim to distinction not accorded many schools. During vacation we had our very own spy. He wasn ' t ours really, having only spent a few days in clean- ing, but the papers bestowed him upon us, and one takes everything that is free in war times. However, we were saved from eternal disgrace by the fact that our spy spoke several languages, — it would have been unthinkable for a college to have had an uneducated spy! We had been working hard, but we didn ' t know just how well we stood until Dr. Acheson, upon his return from the anniversary celebration at Drexel Institute, gave us the re- port of War Work in Women ' s Colleges as it had been made there. It was with extreme gratification that we learned that in the amount of work per capita Pennsylvania College for Women stood among the first three — in the first-line trench, as it were. Indeed, Over the Top had become the slogan of the school, and so much did we mean it that we did go over m every quota, for we were in the war one hundred per cent.

Gifford. . . .Physical Director 107 iTHLETICS play an important part in the life of every college, for by means of athletics the health of the students is benefited, College spirit and loyalty are increased, and the school receives much advertisement. Athletic Field, Tennis, Basket- ball, and Hockey are all words that thrill those inclined to outdoor sports and arouse in them an vmconquerable spirit. In presenting athletics we are asking tor more support from both student body and faculty; we desire greater oppor- tunity to build up our teams as well as more material in order that we may meet our opponents with the confident feeling that we have a good chance to win. And in asking this aid, may we first ask: What would a college be without athletics. ' ' Our only answer is that such a school should not be given the right to call itself a college. .All higher institutions of learning should have something be- sides academic work. If no diversions existed the students would soon become disinterested in their college, considering it only a place where one studied and received certain grades. There would be no friendly class rivalry, no competition — without which any organization will fall to pieces. There would be a sudden ebb in loyalty, a thing which every college strives hardest for. You may answer this argument by saying that athletics benefit only those who are the chosen few; but such is not the case. Everyone who is a student is vitally interested in the sports of her college, although she may not have realized the fact. It ' s true that we can ' t all play, but we can all come to see the games and lend the team that very important support of rooting. No one can ever know until she plays in some game, how much cheering spurs the team on and aids in the victory. A very great feature of college athletics is the advertise- ment that it gives the school. The team wins games and the results of these games are published in the papers and many people read of our school who might never have heard of it. Even our defeats serve to advertise us in our home communi- ties and people know that there is loyalty and enthusiasm behind our serious work. High-school students, hearing of us through our athletics and desiring a college education, will come here. So we ask that in the future the faculty and those students who are not athletically inclined will give the different teams their most loyal support from the sidelines, and that everyone who is interested in any outdoor sport will come out to prac- tice and help the team on to victory, and our College to fa ' me. — E. W. F., ' 20. 1 91 8— BASEBALL SEASON Until the 1918 baseball season opened scarcely any atten- tion h-ad been paid to the organization of anything even re- sembling a baseball team. Then someone formulated the brilliant idea of arousing interclass spirit by means of com- pietitive games. This plan was carried out — the classes entered into the spirit of the suggestion, and the result was seen in some good contests between the four classes. The games were played on the elimination plan. . As a team was beaten, it was dropped from the contest and the winner played the next team. The season ended with a championship game between the Juniors and the Sophomores, the former coming out of the fray as the College champions. 108 I I I .0- I S;t| P nnsgluantan .0- ( i j I j HOCKEY GAMES IN 1919 Everyone was surprised at the spirit shown towards ath- letics this fall. No sooner was it announced that there would be hockey practice and that class teams would be picked than there was a general rush for the athletic field. Everyone was enthusiastic and if the practices were exciting, the games proved to be even more so. The class teams were chosen and the elimination plan was again called into service. The Seniors carried off the honors as victors in the final game that was plaved. BASKETBALL, 1919 As a result of the enforced vacation caused by the Influenza, athletics seemed for a time to have become a lost factor in our college life. Such splendid spirit had been manifested earlier in the year that it was felt by all that it must be revived. A call went out for basketball players, and as a result of the un- tiring efforts ot the President ot the Athletic Association, our hope of having a college team — as well as class teams — was realized. The gymnasium was so well filled that we felt we almost needed another one to accommodate all the students who came out to play. The basketball season was the most successful of all. A Varsity team was chosen and games were scheduled with the University of Pittsburgh and Beaver Col- lege. The team lost both games with the former, but won the games played with the latter. Class games also proved to be of great interest. It is not possible to speak of the basket- ball season without mentioning the fine spirit shown bv those who came to the games as rooters. The season brought forth some good games, and it is earnestly hoped by all that next year we may have an even more successful season. —J. V. A., ' 20. TENNIS IN 191 8 Due to the bad weather experienced in the spring of 191 8, it seemed as if we would have to give up our annual tennis tournament, but luck was with us and we were able to schedule the event as usual. We were rewarded with some splendid matches, and the results pleased everyone. FIELD MEET INAUGURATED A new event was inaugurated into our College life during the spring of 1918 in the form ot a field meet. Ribbons in College colors were awarded as first and second prizes to those who won m any of the events.

SONNET To the gas which escapes from the library light. Oil incense which doth pour from out yon pipe Erstwhile were you within some cavern deep. But now I ween your time for use is ripe, A stern cold drill has woke you from your sleep. How guileless do you start upon your way! What length of winding tubes have you explored E ' er once you caught a glimpse of sunny day, Or to the crest of this high hill have soared! And now you ' re here to light the student ' s path To add to day yet still a few more hours, To help us all to plod thro French and Math. Those strange delights for which the t ste ne ' er sours! Your tragedy ' s so great I scarce can speak — Useless, cast out, because the lamp doth leak! Soup of fresh beans or new canned tomato. Tell us the same tale— expect baked potato! ODE TO A BAKED POTATO The apple of earth, good-day. They captured you at one fell swoop. We knew that you were on your way — Your coming was betrayed by soup. For be it thick or be it thin, At once we know you ' re coming in. ' Tis not because your skin is brown That we all love you so; Nor is it yet your coat of down, Through which a knife will scarcely go. That wins for you our great affection O food of our verv heart ' s election! It is your freedom of contact from the fire, Your solidity, rarity, and Jin iness we admire. ELEGY The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The girls move far from slowly into tea; We sigh and cast all weariness away, For mealtime means the world and all to me. Now fades the view of books far from the sight. And all the air a solemn stillness holds; Knives and forks move fast in busy flight, Appetites are not marred by coughs and colds. Let not ambition mock this useful toil. Nor grandeur hear with a disdainful smile! To P. C. W. we are always loyal. Yet when we pause to look around awhile. The table seems to us to hold strange things. With uncouth dish and shapeless china decked. Ah! that piece has surely had its fling, — Was it in the sink that it was wrecked? Was it to dumb forgetfulness a prey, — To careless maids and servants left resigned? Who rush about unheeding, day on day. Nor cast one longing, lingering look behind! 123 Sll p nnsgluantan i I Maids who lony for the maddening crowd ' s ignoble strife And rush madly thro the duties of the day In their haste to leave this simple life! Hence dismembered dishes with us always stay. It is of pitchers I desire to sing; Here in these lines their artless tale relate, — The sight of them huge tears from rocks would wring. Their fate is much more sad than that of cup or plate. Unlike some works of coarser stuff serene, They are not made of brass or iron or steel, And neither were they made to blush unseen, But forth must come to view at every meal. I long all such from insult to protect! What matters it that they are void of snout. Or are with hands no longer decked? A funnel would suffice for absent spout! Then why have dirges sung in sad arra ' When substitutes will fill the present need? W ' e have enough punch cups for every day, — ■ Let optimism be your constant creed. TO A SUGAR BOWL O sweet young thing, so white and fair, Can it be you that I see there? Along with fats and pure wheat flour You fled to some secluded bower. And in your stead came corn and rice And straight, continuous rise in price. Then came a day when Bill cried quits — He on a throne no longer sits. But oh, container of ambrosia, You ' ve gone so long one scarcely knows you,- My coffee ' s so used to Karo syrup That sugar — I know not how to stir it. A DIRGE Hapless victims of cruel strife, They hadn ' t thought to quit this life; Happy once they had trod this way. This wretched place where now they lay: Their youthful hopes were wont to soar In those fond days before the war: From many lands they gathered there. Brown and gray, and black and fair, But unkind fate had laid them low, Left them lying, row on row. Here on this field, by havoc torn. With no one dear to see or mourn. Half way up their weary goal Hard fate had taken heavy toll, Which calls from us these tears and sighing. For hundred Heels arc crushed and dying. School Days CHEMISTRY If you ' ve never studied chemistry, You ' ve missed a lot of fun And lost some information That surely should be won. You ' d learn about electrolytes And lights electric, too, And how to make the finest milk Of chalk andH,0. You ' d put some iron Into a liter flask. Fit up a cork with a safety hose. Then make the whole thing fast. 125 ! I i j Sly P nnsgluantan J i i -6 Put in a little acid, Until the gases start: Then test the stuff for hydrogen — Unless — she blows apart. You ' d learn to analyze the cheese Of which the moon is made. Or change your old and much-worn clothes Into another shade. You ' d turn Paris green with envy, And you ' d plaster Paris, too. You ' d rock — crystal, not the cradle, And paint — a Prussian blue. And if you hydrophosph-ate (Its taste ' s a little trying), You ' d learn your last great lesson As you were slowly dying. Science Dept., ' Twas the night before morning. And all through the dorm Just one creature was stirring, Just one tiny form. It crept down the hallway And looked all about, — Each movement was counseled By fear and by doubt. For had not its relatives, Yea, thirty or more. Set out on life ' s highway But chose the wrong door? Oh! here is the odor Of heavenly cheese; The form hops in quietly, Sniffing the breeze. A DARK TRAGEDY {The Tale of a Mouse) What is this object Placed here on the floor? Ne ' er in m) ' rounds Have I seen one before. Why, on it is cheese! Must be left here for me, I ' ll take a big bite, There ' s no one to see. But zip! goes the trap, And squeak! goes the mouse (For of these am I speaking), And all through the house Spreads commotion surprising. Entreaties and cries; The girls are awake,— They are hiding their eyes. For right there in sight Is this monster, (Boo-hoo!) t least an inch long! With its tail spread out, — two! We can ' t go to bed With that in the house! Oh, who will be brave And throw out the mouse? At last, with a cane, An umbrella or two, The trap is hauled out By Lean-on-me-Sue. ' Tis left on the stairs As the janitor ' s task. First thing in the morning Each person will ask, What now is the total? How ' s the casualty list? Until mice are extinct Lex will never desist. 126 127 ... ' -..i ' iiiiiiiiniiiiiii|{ii|ii ' Not in the Curriculum (Being a glimpse of the life of a Day-Girl who has be- come a House-Girl for the year.) I Four birthday letters from home to Elizabeth, a popular and prominent Junior at P. C. H . My Dear Elizabeth: To-morrow is your birthday, and 1 wanted to send V(ju some small remembrance, so I have chosen a copy of The Power of Purpose. I thought that something of this kind would do you more good than almost anything else, for when girls are in college there are so many amusements anti social affairs that they are apt to neglect their spiritual needs, which are at all times most important. I want you to remember that mere book learning is a poor thing indeed unless it strength- ens our faith. I hope that you do not allow your studies and social functions to crowd out your hours of meditation and religious and charitable work. I suppose, of course, you go to all the meetings of the Y. W. C. A. on Wednesday, and of course attend chapel every other day. Twenty or thirty minutes a day is so little to spare. You have much unoccupied time, I know. I,et me suggest a plan for your evenings after your recitations and dinner are over. First, spend an hour and a half in prayer, reading, and quiet meditation. Then, read a chapter in this book I have sent you, and then spend the remainder of the evening in making little, useful presents for the city hospitals. I am sure this would be a profitable way of spending your evenings and you would get more satisfaction out of them than you do working at those Sorosis and Pennsylvanian things which you talk so much about and which sctm sj utterly useless. And you say you are on the House Com- mittee at Woodland Hall. Well, I wish you would resign from that, — since it is simply an organization for fun, — and spend v(jur time more profitably. Now do write soon and tell mc how my plan works out and how you like my little book. Your loving aunt, Mary K. F.astman. P. S. — I am so glad you are President of the Y. W. C. A. It will do you good. Be sure to do your duty. M. K. E. Mv Dear Beth: I sent you a package yesterday contammg a tew little things I thought you would like. Those shirtwaists em- broidered in the colors are the latest thing and so are the belts. Sara Boyd is just home from Paris, and she wears the prettiest lavender embroidered waist, but I think you look great in the pink one with the belt to match. I do hope you like the piarty wrap. My dressmaker spent a good deal of time on it. I thought you would like to have one since you are a Junior now. Fdizabeth, don ' t neglect your French and dancing. Daisy says they don ' t teach dancing at Smith, so I suppose they don ' t at P. C. W. either, — that seems too funny, but couldn ' t you go into Pittsburgh once a week and take a lesson? It is such an advantage for a girl to be able to dance nicely, ' i ou could stop at your uncle ' s and it would be a nice change for you. I don ' t want you to get like your Aunt Mary Eastman. I want you to keep right up with the world and enjoy life. I wish you hadn ' t dropped your music, but then you will 128 j 1 i Sri|0 P nnsjjluantan i J J i j I have more time tor calling and attending social functions. Don ' t forget to call on those old friends of mine who live there, and do be nice to i ' Irs. Hunt ' s daughter, for you know this is her first year away from home. Get her into your club if you can. It ' s the Dramatic, isn ' t it? They are such a nice family that I want you to do all you can for Ruth. You don ' t seem to have very much going on in the social line this year. What ' s wrong? Your class dance, for one thing, must have been lovely, but how ridiculous that you weren ' t allowed to dance after 10:30! ' What did you do after you finished dancing? Stand around and see Dick off? Oh no, you said you were not to go to the door at all. Well, I am invited out to four o ' clock tea and it is now two, so I must close. Don ' t forget to write and tell me all about your doings at school. Lovingly, Aunt Alice. Dear Old Kiddo: How was the box of goodies we sent yesterday? We had lots of tun getting it ready, and I hope everything will be good. I baked the cake and roasted the chicken all myself! See what a fine cook I ' m getting to be. But I ' m just crazy about golf and basketball. I am so sorry you don ' t have golf links at P. C. W. You must be all out of practice. But you be sure to keep up your basketball so you will be a fine player when you come home. That was an awful close game you played with Pitt. You have im- proved since you played them last year. But to think you are to have only two games with other schools! Now, Betty dear, be sure and write to us, every Sabbath. I ' m going to ask mother if she can ' t see Dr. Acheson and arrange tor you to come home every week-end you want to. We are so anxious to hear from you, and surely you don ' t have much to do. You might stay at home from church once in a while and write. I hope you don ' t try to attend all those evangelical services. It wouldn ' t hurt you to go occasionally, but don ' t go all the time. You need some exercise. Well, nil rcvoir. Write soon. Your loving sister, Helen. Mv Dear Daughter: Your letter was received yesterday and enjoyed very much. I am sure you will appreciate the box your mother and sister have prepared tor you, and then they will teel repaid for their troub le when they see how much good it does you. I want to warn you, Elizabeth, about too many social and religious affairs — a little of each of them is all right, but remember your main object now is your education. You are paying tor it and want to get all the good you can out of it. I was so pleased to hear that you are on the Junior Expres- sion Recital program. You had better go to work immediately at your piece, so that it will be a success. I am glad you like English so well, and are getting along so nicely in it. Every girl should have a good knowledge ot English. Chemistry is not so important for a girl, but I think you should master Psychology. I was sorry to hear about your Language, but do not think you are wholly at fault. It the classroom work continues to be so disagreeable, I would advise you to drop it and take up something else from which you would derive more benefit and pleasure and which will not destroy so much of your nervous energy. But I do not want you to lower your standard in your regular work for the sake of outside things. I think these athletic sports are being carried to the extreme and are indulged in at the expense of scholarship. All I want you to do is to employ your time wisely. We enjoy your letters so much. They are so full of lite and energy. A caller is announced, so must close. Your loving father, A. J. Howard. 129 130 I I [ a- I i i .6- ®lj P nnsyluantan i i i i II Dear Elizabeth: Pennsylvanian Board will meet this morning at io:lo. I want everyone to be there as some important things are to come up. Sincerely yours, Editor-in-Chief. Betty: Junior Party Committee is to meet to-night instead of at Chapel time to-morrow, because Mr. Weary is to speak then, and Miss Ely asked me to let you know. Hastily, • Betts. Kid, what do you think? I found out that we are going to have a written lesson in Psych, to-morrow! Isn ' t that fierce! I know I ' ll flunk! Come to my room as soon as you come home, and we will cram our heads full. Peg. Dear Miss Howard: What do you think about having a day for the Finance Committee in Y. W. C. A. soon? If you think it wise, as chairman, call your committee meeting right after chapel to arrange for to-morrow ' s meeting. Yours truly, Pres. Y. W. C. a. My Dear Miss Howard: I want to let you know that your last paper handed in — the one on Habit — was by no means up to your standard. Your work in Psychology has always been of the best grade, and your unusual ability cannot but be noticed. This paper seems to have been written hurriedly and with little thought upon the subject. I know you will want to improve it, and if you will come to my room after dinner I will consult you about it. Yours sincerely. Miss Educated Woman. Dearest Betty: Here are a dozen red roses for your birthday, and best wishes for the year. It ' s lovely about your box from home. Sure, I ' ll be there and bring anything I have that you want, or if you need it before I get there, just go and take it out of my room. I must read one hundred pages of History before I come.

Come along to Sunday school, — we ' ll have a lot oi fun; Check your chewing gum and razors at the door; We ' ll tell you Bible stories that you never heard before. Old Noah built himself an ark, — There ' s one wide river to cross, — He built it all of hickory bark. There ' s one wide river to cross. rhe animals went in two by two: The elephant and the ' kangaroo; And Mary had a little lamb, — Its fleece was white as snow, — And that is why she called it Sam, And why she loved it so; Safe in the cradle with the sheep He laid him down in peace to sleep. Secure, he rests upon the wave, — Seasick he was, but very brave. Some bottles hang upon the wall To tempt the thirst of one and all; An iron-bound bucket hangs there too, ' Twas garbed in moss and shiny dew: The same old bucket that some think Hangs by my toothbrush in the sink. Ah! drink to me just with thine eyes And out of me you ' ll get a rise. For when I see those eyes ot thine I ' ll poison take, — away with wine! Now Noah had two grown-up sons And these two sons were loving brothers; Josephus was the name of one,— Bohunkus wished they on the other. Away they went to the animal fair: Now all the birds and beasts were there. There were three crows sat on a tree And they were black as crows could be; They sat there watching three blind mice, Who were chasing after a farmer ' s wife To ask where the little dog had gone With tail cut short and hair cut long. The bullfrog sat by the pond and croaked, This song to his love while his feet he soaked (He had just that ciay been taught the tune By the cow that jumped up over the moon): Song Give your smile, the lovelight in your eyes, — Life could not hold a fairer paradise. You ' ve got a pair of eyes that speak of love, ' n ' everything You ' ve got a smile like angels up above, ' n everything. The little birdies start to sing Come to me, I ' ve waited so long for you; You ' re my wild Irish rose. The sweetest flower that blows,— I ' m coming back to you. My little girl so true; Down by the old Mill Stream Where I first met you I ' ll be down to get you in a taxi, honey. For I swear to love, to honor and obey, Though I know I ' m swearing my young life away. I want to hear a syncopated wedding tune: Good-bye until the twenty-fourth of June. LATEST SONG GEM Song by me, a plain country lass. Written to P. C. W. out of the fullness of my heart. Can be sung to Polly- Wolly Doodle or most any other tune. — Author ' s Note. (Tune — Polly-Wolly Doodle preferred) 1 One day in May dad quit makin ' hay. Came and stood by my milkin ' stool, He said, My little Sadie, you ' re a grown-up lady. It ' s time you were off to school. Chorus I Hip, hooray! Happy day! Bet your life I ' m glad I ' m here; Tho ' fame I ' m hard pursuing, I miss nothing that ' s a-doing, Singing Pa College all the way. 133 j j 6- Slj P nnagluanian i J J -a i i j -0 Chorus II P. C. W.; P. C. W.— Ne ' er was heard a nobler cry; That ' s where everybody ' s for you, They ' ll do everything but bore you; I ' ll veil Pa Co ' lleee till I die. al, 2 Took my percal, my green un Put them in my carpet bag; Cranked the old flivver, bumped across the river, Feelin ' as limp as a rag. 3 Pa went home, left me all alone; I was gettin ' purty mighty scared. But all were glad to see me, said they ' d never, never leave me. So I shouted loud as I dared. 4 That was last week; now I ' m not so meek, Already I ' m one of the girls ; I powder my nose, talk about clothes. And every night grow fresh curls. 5 We have lots of fun, we make things hum — Oh now I ' m a regular girl ; I ' m a fine little schemer, have a date with Reymer To give his chocolate soda a whirl. THE NEW GONG ON THE STAIRS Somewhat up from the distant street Stands this well-known knowledge seat. Across its antique portico Tall columns do their shadows throw. And from its station in the hall This brand new brass thing shrieks to all: Beware — prepare; Prepare — beware, Half-way up the stairs.

Procedure (students working in pairs): Take an infinite number of parts of KIS , mix well with one part of HUG (if this is not sufficient, use HUG ). Squeeze well with a hand press. Keep a constant temperature of two in the shade. This experiment can only be performed at the time of fool (full) moon. Explanation: The moonlight seems to have peculiar properties for the production of the affinities necessary to the complete action. But let ' s close. It ' s twelve o ' clock. That ' s always the way, — Rainy Day Blues are Always Chasing Rainbows. ECHOES OF THE ANNIVERSARY RALLY There ' s a happy day a-coming for our Alma Mater dear.

FRESHMAN CLASS SONGS (Tune: Naughty, Naughty ) Freshmen, Freshmen, Freshmen, We can be glad, we can be sad; Things we do just set you wild. Still we ' re P. C. W. ' s child. We are sharks in Math, ' tis true, And in everything we try to tlo. But we ' re just Freshmen, Freshmen, Oh! such Freshmen! Class of ' 17. Here ' s to the Juniors, our sister class.

The truest friends of our class — And we ' ll never, never fail you In the years that are to pass.

We know our English, Latin, Math, French an ' everything. And we make the Sophomores run, When down the hall they see us come. And we don ' t chase them. And we don ' t race them — For we have ' em under our thumb. We have the bestest class that we could have- An ' everything. We have the bestest spirit that ever was— An ' everything. And when we have our school on high, After four long years gone by — We will get the honor for we have the pep. An ' everything. SOPHOMORE CLASS SONGS (Tune: Mason-Dixon Line ) I ' m all bound ' round with the P. C. W. line, It ' s training me, for what I— hope to be; W hen we ' re Seniors we ' ll know everything. Now we ' re learning how to sing — All for the Seniors, and then the other classes, too For we want to show you what the Sophomores can do; And Seniors, dear, we ' ll give a mighty cheer, For we know a lot about tennis, basketball, and baseball, too.

Oh, what ' ll we do, Oh, what ' ll we do. Oh, what ' ll we do without you! Some day when we are two years older, Some day when we are Seniors, too, They ' ll look at us and proudly say — You grow more like them every day, And they ' ll mean just only you. {Tune: Long, Long Trail ) We ' ve a long, long way to go yet. Before we ' re noted as you, But we ' re ploilding in your footsteps, And we ' ll get there, too. Oh! we certainly admire you, And we ' re with you to the end, You ' re the best class in our College, Antl we ' ll always be your friend. (Tune: Smiles ) We ' re the Sophs, the jolly Sophomores, We ' re the class of Red and White — We are very proud of these two colors, For they stand for courage, will, anil might.

ECHOES OF THE ANNIVERSARY RALLY A PLEA The lowing herd and grazing kine In metric verse sound very fine. And painted scenes of rustic hills Show cattle dream ' midst babbling rills; But tho ' they ' re fit for art poetic, In a cultural college they ' re not lesthettc! Therefore, oh Dean, to thee we pray, If by any chance you can or may, Just get for our cows — if it ' s not too hard — A pastu re, td keep them from our front yard. JUNIOR CLASS SONGS (Tune: Frenchy ) ; Miss Ely, with joy we greet you, Because to us you ' ve been a pal most true. We might sing in French, la, la. But we lack the words, la, la — Miss Ely, you have no equal; You won our hearts the first day we met. Three cheers, three cheers, to you thruout the years- And when we leave these halls oi fame, Miss Ely, we will not forget your name. (Tune; Mighty Like a Rose ) Little 1 922, dry away your tears, We are here to play with you thruout the next two years. We will work together, playmates we will be; Let the Juniors be your comrades, traveling thru P. C. Freshman year is mighty fine; you know what they say — When your Sophomore year draws nigh, Freshman you would stay. 137 i i ! ®i|0 P nnsgluantan I i (Tune: Liza Jane ) Did you ever think your class a shining Hght? Just forget it now because you ' re far from right. Chorus: 1920, 1-9-2-0, 1910, 1-9-2-0. 1920 is the only class that knows What to do and what to say, and so the saying goes. 1919 is the class of Seniors dear; Do not think they ' re dignified, they ' re only queer. Then there are the Sophomores so young and gay. Even tho ' they seem to work they only play. Now, dear Freshmen, listen while we sing to you; Heed us in our walk and talk ' n ' everything — Faculty, a word to you and then we ' re through, When we ' re gone please tell us what, pray, what will you do? (Tune; Mr. Zip, Zip, Zip ) Good morning to you, Freshman dear. With your colors of gold and white; Good morning to you, Freshman dear. With your colors gleaming bright. From Seniors to Freshmen they ' ve come through 1 They kept them shining, you surely must, Good morning to you. Freshman dear, With your colors of gold and white. 1920 There ' s a Class of 1919, There ' s a Class of ' 21 — There ' s the class that came to us just lately And we ' re sure to love them, every one; But the class that makes this life worth living, Makes the others all appear so slow It ' s the class that wears the green and white now, It ' s the Class of 1-9-2-0, 191 8 TO 1920 Hello, Seniors; Hello, Sophs — We ' re very fond of you; We like your smile, We like your style, There ' s nothing you can ' t do. Dear old Seniors, even class— We ' re glad we ' re even, too. So hello, Seniors; Hello, Sophs, It ' s great to be a pal to you. SENIOR CLASS SONGS 1919 (Tune: Where Has My Little Dog Gone ) O, in every class that has gone from these halls Have been short, fat, skinny, and lean; But never before has there been a class In which everyone was nineteen. C iofus: Oh 1919, just 1919, Come cheer for good old ' 19. Let tempus fugit to us that will mean We ' re all just 1919. Be we blond, brunette, or unclassified, Bright, stupid, or just plain green; Be we haught) ' , humble, or full of pride, We all are 1919. And when we get wrinkled and old and gray, Anil all our best days have been seen. When the census-man asks us our age, we ' ll say We ' re all just 1919. 138 I j i i .,0- ®l|0 P nnBjjluanian ••ti I i i (To Miss Green) There ' s a mighty fine lady, whose name is Miss Green, And with the young Seniors she ' ll always be seen; Altho ' our class colors are old rose and white, We added some Green, for we knew that was right. 1919 (Sing three times) Pennsylvanians, we ' ve been thinking What a queer school this would be If all the Seniors were transported Far bevond the Northern Sea. To 1921 (Tune: Frenchy ) Oh Sophomores, dear sister classmen. What fun to greet our sisters here again. When we see you, ' 21, We ' re assured there will be fun. Oh Sophomores, dear sister classmen, You ' ve won our hearts with your loyalty- Three cheers, three cheers for 1921, And don ' t forget firm friends we ' ll be As long as ' 19 shall remain ' ig. (Tune: I Don ' t Want to Get Well ) 1919 are we — 1 91 9 you see— The class with the grin and the pep. Tho ' of course our numerals are odd. We ' re the kind of folks you simply have to laud, Be it rainy or fair Why, what do we care? You couldn ' t bluff or stump us with a dare So there, We know we ' re odds. In some ways we are heathen, If you make us sore, Remember we ' ll get even; But we ' ll always stand by. Glad to do or to die, Alma Mater, here ' s 1919.

Wabash .Ave., Chicago Compliments of The First National Bank Of Donora 156 The Banker ' s First Duty The time is past when the banker can measure success in the scales of profit — anci profit alone. The banker is called into being bv the neces- sities of the people, and to the people he serves he owes his first duty. Personal profit is economic- ally necessary and desirable, but it is mcidental to the main issue. That main issue is SAFETY — nothing more, nothing less. Anything, of any nature whatsoever, which jeoparciizes safety is unsound banking. The very fact that the people of a community entrust their savings to a banker ' s keeping is an ac- knowledgment of their faith in that banker. In as- suming the direction of this money the banker is under a direct moral as well as legal obligation. Of the two the moral obligation is by far the greater. The banker who forgets, even temporarily, the weight and full responsibility of his moral obligation is an unsafe banker, no matter how successful he is in the matter of profits.

We appealed to you, and you responded nobly. Expense was a large item. We wished to keep the price of the book to the minimum without asking you for money, so you liberally patronized all of our financial ventures, and gave of your time and energy that the book might be a success. To all those who have contributed in a literary way we are extremely grateful, and for the bulk of necessary typewriting we must acknowledge our indebtedness to the Misses Graham, Crane, Aspinwall, and Davis. Miss Gladys W ' ilson also kindly assisted us in taking class snaps, while others have given pictures or given of their time in making cuts that the book might be attractive. To all these, and to all who have helped in any way, the Pennsylvanian Board expresses its gratefulness for any service which may have helped to make this book a success. 169 ■i j; ■
