He is a large man in body, intellect, and spirit; his rare appreciation of life and nobility of character serves through his teaching, to point to higher realms and to lead the way to greater endeavor and finer ideals. Students always speak in the highest terms of the inspirational qualities of his work; of its power and dignity and permanence. With a forceful personality and a highly trained philosophical mind, he always goes to the root of things; he stands for intellectual honesty. He holds himself in an intimate and per- sonal relationship with students — has appreciation of the needs of young people — loves his fellow men. 17 Alma Mater As Alma Mater ' s children, we Proclaim our filial loyalty. For Clarion is of regal fame. And proudly do we bear her name; The purple robe of power she wears Above a heart that dreams and dares. While golden Truth her forehead crowns. And far and wide her praise resounds. In dignity enthroned she waits For all who seek her open gates. The Book of Knowledge wide outspread With Wisdom ' s light upon it shed; Her gestures invitation spell. Her eyes a radiant welcome tell. Each stranger may adopted be Into her royal family. To her we render homage due. And daily pledge our vows anew. To her we bend the willing knee In token of fidelity; Her touch uplifts to manhood ' s height, Her counsel girds the soul with might. As forth into the world we fare To plant the gold and purple there. ' Air, The Watch on the Rhine. E. O. S. 18 {0del 3ch0.L, The Model School HE Model School is an institution of learning in itself. As a place for preparation for teaching, it is a very potent factor in any Normal School. It is putting theory into practice under competent guidance. Clarion gives special attention to this part of teacher-training and perhaps there is no more marked success than is here developed. The children, themselves, get the benefit of many differently qualified teachers and a variety of methods and theories and learn to discriminate shrewdly as to those who meet their needs and requirements. If one passes successfully through the ordeal of the Model School, he cannot enter other schools without a store of useful and valuable experience in discipline, character-reading and building, and the art of imparting knowledge to others in the most approved and modern methods. With the excellent supervision of Miss Rice, the principal, and Miss Bitner, the primary instructor, the student teachers are especially favored. Miss Bitner is especially qualified as a primary teacher and has charge of the four lower grades. It is now esteemed of supreme importance to start school children right to obtain later satisfactory results. Miss Klahr is director of the Kindergarten department and the student teachers help in this work also; so there is e ery chance to become familiar with the vhole system of child instruction from infancy to eighth grade. This year Domestic Science is being taught in the Model School in con- nection with formerly taught branches and this makes a pretty full program of efficient instruction on all prescribed lines. v - - 20 21 OFUCLKS rrcsidenl ROSSMAN.

S. N. S. He gladly sent us a copy of the school catalog. After pondering over it for some time we decided to come to Clarion to get a better education. On a beautiful September day we started out from our various homes in a state of great excitement. On reaching Clarion we were welcomed by the teachers and older students. Towards the latter part of the fall term the Freshmen were called together. At this meeting we elected our class officers. Later we selected our class colors, motto, flower, and Eugene Field as our class poet. We also organized two basket ball teams, of which the boys took the honor for the class games. We are represented in baseball and tennis. We are all enjoying our school work and think Clarion is one of the best places to come to get a good education.

N. a loyal, and enthusiastic, but somewhat diminished class. Here we were met with open arms by the Faculty and our fellow students. We were en- rolled at the office and took up our regular routine the following day. We Sophomores ha e already shown a tendency to shun all hazing affairs, campus quarrels, and other childish plays, and devote all our time to clean athletics, to study, and to taking an active part in the literary and Chris- tian associations. A long time ago when we were Freshmen the State Board of Examiners listened eagerly to our enthusiastic class yells and songs, patted us on the head and told us that the future held great things in store for us. In class spirit we certainly rank first. In the spring of 1914 the three other classes floated their banners from Seminary Hall but we scorned the tower ' s height and floated our Blue and Gold thousands of feet above the green campus. Thus shall it ever be with the class 1917. When some day we look back to commencement day in 191 7 we can hold our heads high and say, I was a member of that class. Erna Dorothy Bunkf..

S. N. S. Having arrived here in search of knowledge, we were assisted through the intricacies of enrollment and organization by many kind friends and thus began our career as Freshmen with the motto Always Faithful, and colors of Orange and Black. Backed by grim determination and enthusiasm we strove to become recognized by the higher classmen. Many were the tasks we mastered and our aim was fulfilled, for, in 1912, we stood second in basket ball and held our own in all other athletics. We proved that we were workers and true to our colors and motto so much so that the following verse was written to us: All hail to thee, old nineteen fifteen, The fairest class in all our land; Our cordial love to thee confess. An ardent youthful band. Our hearts beat firm and strong for them. Our voices sing thy praise; In one accord we pledge to thee Devotion of our days. After successfully completing our Sophomore year also, we returned in the fall of 1913, bearing the name of Jolly Juniors. We still took an active part in all athletics and were recognized by the other classmen. One important feature of our Junior year was the Junior party for the Senior class. This was given Feb. 22, 1914, and was in form of an old Colonial party. Our colors were carried out in the decorations and light refresh- ments were served. Our class was also conspicuous by its colors and decorations, which con- sisted of torches, transparencies, banners, etc., in the Amity parade. Last of all we were ushered into the mysteries of the State Board. We returned for our Senior year with much determination to make it our best. We presented at Thanksgiving our class play, Pygmalion and Galatea, which is said to have been one of the best that has ever been staged in connection with our school. 39 As we now look back upon our four years of school life spent here, we realize that it has been only a short but happy part of our lifetime. We hope that in the few days of happy school life remaining to us we will still keep up the standard to which we have attained, and that we will always be true to the Orange and Black and Semper Fidelis to our Alma Mater. Martha O. Rvlander, ' 15 Senior Farewell (Air — Tramp, Tramp, Tramp. ) In our heart of hearts we dream Alma Mater, now of thee. Of the bright and happy halls so long our home; Swift the passing seasons seem Of our youthful liberty. Undisturbed by sterner duties soon to come. Chorus Alma Mater! Alma Mater! How the words our spirits thrill. As beneath the circling fold Of the purple and the gold. Do we homage to the school upon the hill. Thou hast been a mother fond. Thou has been a guardian true. Thou hast set our feet upon the upward way; Glad we own the gracious bond. Glad our filial vows renew. Pledging loyalty for every coming day. Now the time has come to part From these comrades, true and tried. Other scenes to enter, other friendships form; Treasured deep within the heart Shall these happy hours abide. In affection folded ' gainst a world of storm. 40 Class Song 1915 (Air — Dearest Mae. ) We love the stately halls that rear Their towers high in air; No name as Clarion half so dear. No Normal half so fair. Nineteen Fifteen in black and gold Their fealty glad proclaim, And always faithful, stand enrolled To magnify he r fame. Chorus Our love, our love to thee; Our loyal love to thee; Thy honored name we proudly claim. And pledge our love to thee. The years of friendly brotherhood. How swiftly they have passed. We stand in retrospective mood To count them while they last. In joy and sorrow, work and play. The seasons took their toll; Triumphant now. Commencement Day Doth glorify the whole. E. O.

I HE ' oung Men ' s Christian Association of Clarion Normal, many years after its organization, yet stands as the center of all the Christian activities in the school, and also as a great factor in promoting the social standard and in cre- ating a co-operative spirit among the entire student body. The aims of the Association are to uplift the mdividual, train him in doing some service for God, and to bring all into a closer relationship with their Savior. During the past year our Association has been represented at the Y. M. C. A. presidents ' convention, held at Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa., and at the Y. M. C. A. State Convention which was held at Johnstown, Pa. In addition to the regular Bible Study Classes, which convene everySunday morning at the various Sabbath Schools, the Association provides for a prayer service every Wednesday eveni ng. Beginning with the winter term Student Standards of Action, a practical treatise on school life, was taken up and studied in the Wednesday evening meetings. On Sunday evenings, we have a joint vesper service with the Y. W. C. A. We have sufficient reasons to believe that our work during the past year has been helpful and fruitful, and we hope that with the strong cabinet for the coming year, the great work of invigorating the moral stamina of the young men of Clarion Normal, and of directing them on toward the great goal of Christian citizenship and success may be even more successful than it has been in the past.

The Association is of special value in a social way, exerting a good in- fluence, developing latent talents and capabilities, as well as providing an opportunity for service in a practical and Christian way. No student gets the full benefit of school life without having some part in these efforts for mutual benefit. Both Y. M. and . W. C. A. work in harmony with excellent results and much pleasant fellowship. The co-operation of the Faculty, Mrs. Reese, the principal ' s wife, and the members of the association, in all respects indeed has been very helpful. Miss Richardson, our Field Secretary, and an earnest and zealous worker in the interests of the association, made a very pleasant and much appreciated visit to our school during the fall term. In this way the con- nection may remain unbroken betNveen the main body of the association and those in school for a longer or shorter period. During the winter term, in the absence of the President, Desma Calvert, who, with Miss Martha Rylander, was sent to Eaglesmere Conference last June, to represent Clarion, Miss Rylander, the Vice President, assumed the duties. This organization is a link which connects our school with other schools in the common endeavor to upbuild the kingdom of God. We are looking forward to a fruitful association year under the leader- ship of the new cabinet. 66 u ■ ' ' i] __CkaTvn3: 67 The Music Department The Music Department of the school, under the direction of Mrs. Elsie Stahlman Warburton. in piano and voice and of Prof. L. J. Rohr in Orchestral instruments, has become one of the great assets of the institution, and has progressed rapidiv during the past year. Mrs. Warburton is a graduate of the Ithaca Conservatory of Music and we are very fortunate to have such a talented and experienced teacher in this department. The special music furnished by the student choir adds very materially to the pleasure and spiritual benefit derived from our Sabbath Vesper service, and the early morning Easter Carols were a most pleasing feature of the day. The male and mixed quartets of the Literary Societies have been ?n added at- traction to our Saturday evening entertainments. The well trained orchestra has been a most helpful and entertaining factor at the various functions of the school.

S. Gilbert ' s modern interpretation, deviating from the classic tradition by presenting Pygmalion as a Benedict at the outset, as its Senior class play, produced Thanksgiving night, 1914. At the opening of the play careful study and painstaking work were shown in the short dialogue between two slaves, the boasting Agesimos, char- acterized by Mr. Reed Weaver, speaking for Athens ' wealthiest art patron; and the self-possessed Mimos, played by Mr. Chester Davis, answering for Athens ' most talented sculptor, concerning a meeting between their masters. ' PVCMAI ICN AND GaI-ATEa CaST OF CHARACTERS in which the respective types of persons later revealed in the major parts were reflected and forecast. The pleasing domestic scene which ensued between the sculptor. Pygmalion, enacted with notable facility and sustained dignity, by Mr. John Mooney; his wife, Cynisca, personated by Miss June Calvert, in a fine spirited manner; Pygmalion ' s sister, Myrine, presented most at- tractively by Miss Elizabeth Brown; and her soldier-lover, interpreted with delightful animation and vigor by Mr. Ray Humphreys; established a human and kindly setting to alleviate the more tense succeeding situations. During Cynisca ' s absence from home, as Pygmalion was soliloquizing upon the limitations of the sculptor ' s art, which can ma ' ke but a statue after all. his unreflecting prayer to the gods was answered by the awakening of his latest and most perfect statue into the living Galatea, impersonated by Miss Ruth Arner. who fulfilled the requisites of the role in the ingenious love scene which followed, with the utmost grace and natural charm. The second act presented a series of complications due to the presence of Galatea in the studio. The estrangements between Galatea, Pygmalion, Myrine, and Lucippe were furthered by the arrival of Chrysos, Athens ' wealthiest art patron, performed with conspicuous earnestness by Mr. Donald Walker, and his wife. Daphne, represented most reahstically by Miss Edith Imhoff. The entanglement and denouements resulting from the unusual circumstances furnished the occasions for the most sympathetic acting of the performance. The premature return of Cynisca precipitated the action thru the fall of her curse of blindness upon Pygmalion. The third and final act displayed a high order of sustained character interpretation, wherein each actor developed and maintained his particular role intensively. The reconciliation of Myrine with Lucippe; of Daphne with Chrysos, and of Cynisca with Pygmalion, with the consequent resubstantia- tion of Galatea into marble, brot the play to a close, while the curtain fell before an appreciative house. The selection of the play, possessing a main plot of sustained interest, entwined with minor plots of enlivening interest; suited to simple and effective staging; the choice of participants peculiarly fitted to realistic interpretation of their roles; the distinctness of articulation, and excellence of expression, showed a fidelity in preparation, due in great measure to the patient devotion, skilled coaching, and natural artistic ability of Miss Elizabeth Bell, head of the Department of Expression. 74 The Cruise of The Expression His clear and eloquent hlood so Jistimth wrought. That one might almost sav his bodv thought. IITH this motto written across her prow, the good ship Ex- «-T=r 5rr ' -- ' ivr ' ?i ' y F,r ' I -ts-v-o- II pression, set off on her voyage ' ' . 7 • ' -. of Evolution, last September. She started from port Animation, and in due time landed at Obedience wharf. The captain and all the crew report a pleasant and profitable voyage with only a few days of storm while passing through the Straits of Slide, Vital Slide and Slide in Volume. By far the calmest part of the voyage was the time passed in the harbor of Smoothness, but on the fourth day the Magnanimity of Atmosphere became so intense that the party set sail for Ellipse Island where they paused during two days of exceedingly cloudy weather. The Expression sailed into many channels and seas and touched the seaport town Taste. As the ship sailed further and further away she grew more venturesome and before Thanksgiving had crept down upon her she found herself anchored for a six weeks ' stay near the scenic islands of Pygmalion and Galatea. Throughou t this entire stop over, the captain drilled her subordinates in the art of bodily expression. Very often the entire crew would be seen standing about the decks in puzzled attitudes or would be heard in their staterooms making strange but melodious noises. Before it was time to commence her homeward voyage, Expression became very courageous and dared to sail straight for the continent Debate. She worked her way in and out among the icebergs of Introduction, Argu- ment and Conclusion, and floated bravley up to the wharf of Presenta- tion and made her way successfully through Rebuttal bay and on to the port of Victory. After anchoring there for some time she turned about and headed joy- ously for home where she successfully squeezed through straits of Exam- ination.

G. Schrecongost Arthur Thomas 77 Inter-Normal Debate |f;l l AST year an Inter-Normal Debate was established between the Cali- r ' : forma chose the question and Clarion had the choice of side. After fornia State Normal School and the Clarion State Normal. Cali- only a few w eelcs of preparation, our debating team went to California for the debate and were defeated by a majority vote of the judges. While the Clarion team lost the debate, the blow of defeat was lessened because they felt that indeed the enemy was worthy of their steel, and the courteous treatment afforded them by the faculty and students of California Normal made their stay there a very pleasant one. This year knowing that the debate was again to take place, a debating club was organized early in the fall under the able supervision of Prof. Thom- son. This club met every Monday evening for one hour of debate on various topics. As it was Clarion ' s turn to choose the question for the Inter-Normal debate, the following was selected: Resolved, That local option with the county as a unit is a better solution of the liquor problem in Pennsylvania than state-wide prohibition. As California had the choice of sides, they took the affirmative, thereby giving us the negative, or the prohibition side of the question. After weeks of hard fought battles on various topics, such as the Immi- gration question and many others, the debating club turned their attention to the question to be debated by the two Normal Schools. From the club ten members, composed of the best debaters, were selected to debate in the pre- liminary contest. Prof. Thomson took charge of the debaters on the negative side; Miss Barton had charge of the work on the affirmative side; and Miss Bell, our elocution teacher, trained all the contestants in the oratorical work. This debate was open to the public and disinterested parties were chosen to act as judges. In this preliminary contest the prohibition side won. It was very hard to select the team that would meet and we hoped, defeat, the California team this year, for in the trial debate there were many good de- baters. Finally from the ten three young men and one young woman — Merritt Davis, Sidney Kennedy, John Mooney and Margaret McMahon for the alternate, were chosen to represent Clarion Normal School. Then came the question of who would act as judges. Prof. M. J. Baldwin of DuBois, Prof. George W. Mitchell of Johnsonburg, and Rev. J. Allen Barr of Brookville, were requested to act in that capacity and very kindly consented to do so. When the evening for the final debate arrived we had reason to be very proud of our team. Their argument was logical thruout. Not once did they leave the question at issue. Without sarcasm, without any personal attack, they presented their points with great clearness and drove them home with masterly force. As a result, by unanimous decision of the judges. Clarion won the debate. After the contest, the debating teams, the judges and the members of the faculty who had so generously assisted in the work, were entertained by Prof, and Mrs. Reese. We believe heartily in athletics and in athletic contests, but we are proud to have Clarion Normal in the rank of schools that seeks not only to develop the physical man, but that also believes in intellectual contests which develop brainy men and women. We will look forward to the work of the Debating Club next year and trust that the high standard of excellence set this year will be maintained. 79 Gal erusquisque Dramatis personae: Piinceps primus.

Notus vivi. frisking madly about, seekmg whom he may annoy, finds no convenient victim, and at last, in desperation, returns to the scene of his former onslaught, to find Porta invila, but no longer innocens, drooping limp and dejected from his recent rout, attempting to conceal a Galerus Novus. Notus vidius, speechless with rage, rushes upon Porta invita, pummels him, grapples with him, and finally hurls him upon Galerus novus, who piteously cries aloud. Farewell, a last farewell, appearance trim. For whilst I thot, smooth, circling brim And dapper crown, how sweet thou wert. Unkindly fate hath done me mortal hurt! Amici et socii tenderly carry off the field Galerus novus, battered and nearly unrecognizable. Act III — Scene: Templi Auditorium.

A prolonged silence ensues, and all the air a solemn stillness holds, whilst Princeps primus advances, raises his hand to the hushed throng and speaks. List, friends and allies true. To the first cause, and how the story grew: On Science ' s second floor The wind smashed in the hat that hung behind the door. Much waving of handkerchiefs, clapping of hands, and shouts of re- joicing, while the vast hordes leave the Templi Auditorium with martial tread, following Principem pnmum et Principem proximum, crowned rvith an Italian phantasy. 82 imp Pageant n T HAS been the custom of our school for several years to give a pageant. These pageants are always based upon some historical theme, which theme, worked out by dances, drills and pantomimes, portrays the facts in a way that is at once beautiful, interesting, and instructive. The tenth of these pageants was given last year, the theme being Wil- liam Penn. The program was as follows: I. — Social position of Admiral Penn. English garden scene. Charles I, the king of England. Admiral Penn, Courtiers and Ladies playing cards. Maidens entertain the royalty by a May Pole dance Irregular Class Girls The Milkmaids are invited to give a drill Freshman Class Girls Menuet Juniors and Seniors Opposition to the Levity of the Age. 1 .

The prospects for a fast team were very gratifying from the first. Two of last year ' s players were back on the job and there seemed to be considerable material from which to choose a team to represent our school. Although practise did not begin until rather late in the season on account of repairs in the gymnasium, plenty of enthusiasm was manifested by students and faculty alike and a team was chosen to play against the Alumni on Thanksgiving day. Because of the lack of weight of the team, more games were lost than won during the Fall Term, but with the addition of Beatty. Cyphert, and Kerr, who came in for the Winter Term, the team was greatly improved both in weight and team work. The personnel of the team — Mayes, ' 15. Captain, Guard and Center. He was always found capable. Croasmun, ' 16. Forward. Nate was always where his guard was not. He made up for his light weight in speed, and always managed to get his share of the points. Cyphert. Forward. Judging from the generous amount of applause he received, one would take Cy for a star. Well, that is no mistake. He is one of the brightest in this constellation. Beatty. Guard. Tucker was our sensational shot. He always played all over the floor, though he was a good guard and held his man to only the average number of points. Mooney, ' 16. Guard. While not sensational, Tiel always gave us an exhibition of cool-headedness. Kerr. Center. Kerr came here from Kingsville, where he had played for a year or two. and so was quite an addition to the team. While most of this year ' s men will not be back next year, there are still fine prospects for a good team next year, that will do honor t o the school. H. M. E. 89 SW ' T ' WHPBWI ' ' ' ' ™ ' ■.

Every available spot on the rear campus has been taken up for practice before the diamond is in condition to be played upon. Prospects are very bright for a good team. Many of last year ' s fellows are back and, with the experience they have had together, we may expect a strong team to represent the school. Manager Walker and Prof. Wilkinson are preparing an excellent sched- ule, including several of the strongest teams in this vicinity. Coach Thomson has been out on the job and is getting the men in readiness to choose a first and a second team. Among those who have come back to work is Riley. We all know Jim ' s ability to hold down his position and also to wield the big stick. Then there is Nate, fast as ever on third and always ready for a little hit when it i s most necessary. Mooney, also, is back in the box with more speed than ever before. So we look forward to an excellent season — not a repetition of last year, which was very good, but one that will be long remembered in the history of baseball at C. S. N. S. As the Sequelle goes to press we are pleased to record the fact that out of eight games played we have not yet met defeat.

Everyone belonging to the Tennis Association is eligible to play on the courts tknmg recreation hours. Each year we hold a School Tournament and an Internormal Tournament is held annually among the Indiana Normal, the California Nor- mal, and our own Normal. In preparation for the School Tournament a schedule of games for all who wish to try for it is made out. By a process of elimination the best players and chosen for singles and doubles, and these play in the School Tournament. This Tournament is taken as a preliminary for the Internormal Tournament. The Internormal Tournament was held last year at Indiana Normal School and our players came off victorious, bringing home with them the large silver cup as a trophy. This cup was held by Indiana for several years prior to 1913, when California won it on the Clarion Courts. The tournament, this year, will be played at California Normal, and we are unanimous in wishing our players the best of luck and that the Cup may grace our parlor for another year. 95 Here and I here About 1( RAf(ySooim3  7 The Franklin Literary Society HE Franklin Literary Society was organized in 1905 by Dr. J. George Becht, and since its organization it has proven itself to be one of the most important and most beneficial of the school activities. The President of the Society chooses a committee of five stu- dents, including himself, to arrange the programs, which are presented to the supervising teacher for approval. The programs are presented on alternate Saturday evenings during the terms. At the beginning of each term a joint meeting of the two societies of the school is held. The aim of the Society is to present a program, which will be both enter- taining and instructive. A contest is held at the close of each school year between the two Societies. The students taking part in these contests are chosen by the mem- bers of the society but the names must be presented to the faculty for approval. In the last contest the Franklin Society was again victorious, carrying honors by four points. At the present time, the Franklin Society is eight points ahead of the Bancroft Society. This year has been a most successful one for the Franklin Literary Society and we feel that in the coming contest the Franklinites will acquit themselves with honor.

With becoming modesty we mention the Bancroft as a society of which we feel justly proud. Nothing of a common or uninterest- ing character is presented on its programs and the students participating evince marked enthusiasm and give their best efforts. Its value to our school work has been inestimable as well as providing a feature of entertainment very pleasant and much appreciated.

Here students spend their time between classes, preparing lessons, looking up subjects assigned by teachers, reading the magazines, and news in the home papers. Several hundred books have been added to the Library during the past two years, and are selected with reference to the needs of the various depart- ments of the school.

Calling you further and further away From the school ' s protecting side; If, in the rush of busy days. You cast one backward thought Toward the land from which you sailed. And the battles you have fought. If, in the years that come and go Though years of school have long been done. Your heart comes back to memories dear.
