LIBRARY CLARION UNIVERSITY OF PA CLARION, PA Mary Lorexa Givan History and An DriHratimt tn fflanj iCnrrna OSiuau by THK S E Q U E L L E 1916 itfnrniiorii Well, here ' s your Sequelle. In its publication we have not at- tempted to be original, so in the general make-up of the book you will note no radical changes from previous issues. We have, however, introduced a few new ideas which we hope you will consider improve- ments. May its faults be covered by a mantle of charity. We have tried to neglect nothing which might be of interest to the friends of Clarion. To that end we have portrayed as diligently as possible the events of the past year. Into this volume we have attempted to put a little of the spirit of the class of 1016, and our greatest hope is that its perusal may serve to strengthen and perpetuate your love for your Alma Mater.

He is a product of the Normal in which he so acceptably does his work. He was born near Lucinda, Clarion County. In his scholastic career, he has come up thru the Model School, the public High School and the Normal, — graduating with the class ot [908. I le has been in service at the Normal since the year ol his gradua- tion. His first work was in the book room and the Library, covering a period of three years. During the next two years, In- was Physical Director of the boys. Since that time he has been Director ot all Gymnasium work. His summers have been spent in work looking to further equip- ment for larger work. He has taken work at Chautauqua and at the University of Wisconsin. IB ■„vt:.,fi.H .

This class desires to put upon record the high esteem in which he is held by them. He has given himself freely, he has entered sympa- thetically into all the amenities and endeavors of the class so he is looked upon almost as one of the class. His life is an inspiration, the assistance which he has given will long be remembered, and in the years to come the members of the Class of 1916 will crucify selfishness when they think of him.

S. N. S., as the class of 1916 with waving banners of crimson and steel. Ours is a record of which any class might be proud. Even as Freshmen we were different from other classes, as we failed to show that characteristic green tint so often attributed to lower classmen. The main features of our embryonic stages are ancient history now, and just to mention them is to bring vivid pictures of good and hard work before the minds of all. In the fall of 191 3, our class returned with depleted numbers but we were now Sophomores an d very proud of the fact. During this year, we began to take a prominent part in all phases of school life. It was on a September day of 1914 that our class received its greatest impetus. Graduates from High Schools all over our state, having heard of the illustrious class of 1916 decided to join their fortunes with it and help to make its name famous. Our literary ability was recognized by the prominent places given us in the inter-normal debate and in the contest between the literary societies. Although diligent students, we did not neglect the social side of our school life. The Junior Hop was a distinct success, it was an evening enjoyed by all. In athletics, also we had our representatives that did their share in winning success for our school. And at last came State Board. How we dreaded it. But as usual we did honor to t he crimson and steel, and came forth with flying colors, leaving not even stragglers behind. Our return in the following September was saddened by the recent death of our President, Mr. Bolam. Although some of our number decided not to join us in the Senior year, those who did return, came with the determination to make this year a success. One of the most enjoyable events of the Fall Term was the Senior Picnic, which was the first of its kind in our school. At Thanksgiving, we presented our class play, Only A Country Girl, which was considered by many to have been the best ever staged by any class. Who can look into the prophetic mirror and tell what will take place in the future? We can only say that from our class will go teachers, lawyers, preachers, doctors, and who can say what more; and we know that the} ' will do their full share to make the world greater and better than it has ever been before.

Through the uneventful years of her life, until she entered Clarion Normal, Ted grew in wisdom and charm; but not much in stature. Upon her arrival here, she was at once received by the class of 1916. e found Ted to be as sweet and as modest as a flower; yet so jolly that it becomes contagious to ei with whom she comes in contact. She is very fond of animals and birds, especially the hawk and quite frequently her pet hawk soars toward Coder. With all her winsome and charming charactei of 1916 is proud of having such a member as our, jol y brilliant Ted. Beulah Strotman Shippensville, Pa. ( Ine beautiful day in April, a little girl with light hair, and blue eyes arrived at the Strotman home and de- cided to stay. When six years of age Beulah started to Pitch Pine School where she made a brilliant record; three years ago she came to Clarion Normal to com- plete her education. Beulah has continued her bril- liant record at Clarion. Her special talent is painting and her artistic qualities are shown by the Y. W. C. A. posters. In the years to come we shall see the name of Beulah Strotman listed among the leading artists of our country and her pictures adorning the walls of a home where all the colors harmonize. Madaline Blrt Smethport, Pa. Our brown eyed Madaline casts joy and sunshine wherever she goes. Coming to Clarion in the fall of 1912. she began her career as a Freshie. When we hear. Oh, that German will be the death of me yet we know that Burt is near. She is fond of riding in Fords, especially down the river hill; but when the tire blows up she is seen to hike toward the Glei Knox. Here we will leave her and wish for her a brilliant future. Elizabeth Moore Corsica, Pa. Betty came to us from the vicinity of Corsica, Pa. She spent her first school years in the little red school house. Then she went to Corsica High School where she graduated in 1914. still thirsting for knowledge, she turned her steps to Clarion; and joined the class of 1916, the girls basket ball team, and the Franklin Literary Society. Betty ' s most marked characteristic is her extreme fondness for pickles, and explanation for which are. some of them many miles away, but one is no more than a mile. She is one of the beauties of her class, and her unfailing good nature has made her popular with all who know her. oLCiflUK T II 1. S E U E I, I.

During the Spring term of 1912 she made her flight to C. S. N. S. to specialize as teacher. After attending the Normal for two years, she decided to teach a year; then at the beginning of t he fall term of 1915 she returned to Clarion to complete her course. Golda is a jolly girl of a very lively disposition fond of amusements, such as music and dancing, and especially singing. She has many friends and is always looking for male. When he fails, her favorite phrase is, Let him go to it. hl II. Ml El II ATI EN kin , Pa. in the late years of the nineteenth century the Mc- Elhatten home was brightened by the arrival of little Nell. She was graduated from the S. H. S. in 1914, and deciding to continue her education, she came to C. S. N. S. and had steadilj struggled upward with the class of 1916. At seven-forty Nell may be heard to exclaim, Has the rising bell rung: Oh, 1 will be shut out of History of Ed. Nelle has won many friends at Clarion but her thoughts are centered in Shippensville. We are not sure what line Buzz will follow- but we are sure of her success in whatever it may be. Fay Cummings Strattonville, Pa. The one worth while is the one who can smile when everything goes dead wrong. Fay is a jolly good-natured girl, sometimes inclined to study hard; but always ready for fun. She thinks that too much study is weariness to the soul. Fay also is a sound sleeper never rising until further delay means loss of breakfast. She is the musician of our class and has proven very efficient in that line. e believe that such an industrious Senior will prove an honor to her Alma Mater. Nellie E. Titus Barnes, Pa. Having decided to try her fortune at C. S. N. S.. Nelle arrived at this place in September 1914. pre- pared to overcome all difficulties. Her chief delight is to mystify all her companions by saying Oh. giris, I have something to tell you. No, I ' m not going to tell it to you either. Occasionally Xelle arouses the curiosity of all by intimating that she has a terrible case. Her favorite expressions are Heaven to Betsj Inn and Josh. Nevertheless, we expect to see Nelle successful in life for A charm attends her everywhere, A sense 1 ' I beaut . rjJ.lUiUUl.tS.l3£USM ■ ;.u.suzm T II E S E or E L L E I [OB Ml V VIOON I CurlUville, Pa |. k mej . i ■ immi ml] kn « n a Teal and t i hi .

Sophia is the blue-eyed angel face ol third Floor. 1 won ' t vouch as to the angel foi she is full of pranks and chiet talker of that noisy third floor bunch. She is always good-natured, the only time that she loses her temper is when six or eight . ithet in het n  im to 1 udj Phj sirs al 4. . M. Sophia expects to teach a couple of years and then Specialize. Judging from the- letters she receives not surprising. Her cheerfulness and read; sympathy have won her main Friends who wish her less and success in the future. Leonore Lemmler Smethport, Pa. This studious maiden, after considerable thought upon the subject, finally hit upon C. S. N. S. as the most desirable place in which to prepare for the bril- liant career of a school-marm. She declares this to be her one aim in life, but there are some of us who rather doubt this when we recall her collection of photographs, and the letters from Willie. Leonore, we hi sorrj to say, is a great chatter box, and when she is m 1 talking, she rills in the pauses with giggles. Bloom- ing is her favorite expression and we hope it is as a motto she uses it; for everyone knows she will some- time bloom lor one and only one. But she is a friend to all and we surely wish her success in life. Edna Wentling Knox, Pa. One bright Thanksgiving day the falling leaves dropped a tin) life at forest Home. She grew and bloomed into a modest lady. After graduating from the Edenburg High School with the class of 1 j 1 4 . she came to C. S V S. to complete her education where she has been a very industrious student. While at school here she has developed a wonderful taste lot beans. Although very fond of pels we all know Edna will in the future cultivate her favorite vegetable instead of making homes for homeless cats. Her future success is assured. ■  ;; ■ f ' t ' .

Ted works while she works, but she ' d rather play. She doesn ' t believe in ruining her health by late hours, for ten o ' clock always finds her snoozing. Ted. when despondent, is heard to say, Girls I just know I ' ll be an old maid. However we are not fearing for her. Betting is her chief delight for she is always saying I ' ll bet a farm. We do not know where she has all these farms, but that doesn ' t seem to worry her. We feel sure Ted will succeed where-ever she may go, or what-ever she may do. Clara A. Steltzer Rimersburg. Pa. A few years ago a package was left at the Steltzer home which they decided to keep and call Clara. After pestering the teachers of Rimersburg High School for a time she decided to continue her career at C. S. X. S., entering the class of 1916 as a Freshman. Clara is a quiet (:l demure little maiden, who is always ready to extend her helping hand. Her favorite 11s are, Oh. this crazy old Physics. and How does my hair look: Although she was once termed a D. B. F. still her aspiration to be a gym teacher is not quenched. Whatever her life work mav be. we wish her s .. Laurence Marks Smethport, Pa. Lawrence is a representative of McKean County at Clarion. After graduating at the Hazelhurst High School he decided to join the class of I0,l6at the Clarion Normal By his amiable disposition and fascinating smile he has won the favor of the teachers and class- mates. He is a great lover of music, being quite pro- ficient on the violin. He intends to teach but we pre- dict that he will soon be married for he has great inter- est in the Junior class. Mabel F. Cook Shippensville. Pa. Mabel, one of the many wee maids in our class, hailed us first in 1913. By those who know her best, she is called Sis. One of the most astonishing characteristics of Sis. is that she never becomes dis- couraged. Having done her best, she is confident she will succeed and does not fear even Dad ' s wrath when she answers I don ' t know. Her only fault lies in the fact that she loves Beer too well; however we trust that she will outgrow this childish fancy, for it conflicts with her great ambition to some day be a foreign missionary. May prosperity favor her. 12 .UZLUZMZLL r h f. s k or k l l e 1 9 i 6 I i l l. I- l l ii HROPI Sheffield, Pa.

Samuei Crooks I ' Umosl two decades have passed since Sam-u-el firsl began to attraci attention near Clarion, and is still do ing it, Sam lated from the Model School in ' 12. His real burdens came when he entered the Normal that Fall. but he has borne them well and will graduate with the ! [916. As a student Sam was always there and his motto was. be not afraid to doubt that which thy teacher sayeth, and to which he adhered. He was especially adept in Physics and it was remarkable how well he learned the laws of the Lcvciilr house- hold, where he spent a fe« of his spare hours. For almost three years Sam was 1 famous guard on the Varsity B. B. team, invariably making more points than his forward. He bids fair to be the wonder of his age, the striking character of the twentieth cen- tury. K. 1 r E k Clarion, Pa. One memorable May day. Grace took up her abode in Heathville, and there spent her childhood days. After comple ting with great credit the eight grades ol learning in that pleasant little ti wn, she came to Clarion for further education. Here she has always done good work, especially in Physics. When a question goes down the line it always stops at her chair. Oh, how- could we have done without her. Thy gentle voice, thy sunny smile to cheer? But thou, thy Alma Mater, soon must leave For work that God has planned for thee to achieve. Marie McKenna Clarion, Pa. Well, here is • ' Mac. one of the faithful few who has attended school here thru the entire course; a very industrious girl, who never thinks of skipping a class. Her highest ambition is to teach school in the country many miles from town where she can spend all her time in work, and not to be interrupted by social duties. Mac ' s hobby in the summer is riding around in the Cole car. Marie is a very stylish young lady and does much of her shopping at Boggs land Buhl) I wonder if the name has anything to do with it. T H E S K (|U E L L E i 6 Chari.es D. S. Fenstamaker Clarion, Pa. The close of the nineteenth century marked the coming of one of our best and most popular young men. Evidence of his popularity; When there was anything doing, as we say. Chick always had a Bidd Charley, Chick. or Hass, came up thru the excellent training of the Model School and after two terms work in the town High School came back to his Alma Mater, and remained with her completing the course competently in the regulation time. Chick was also an athlete distinguishing himself as forward on the Varsity. He also went out for baseball and came far from being the tenth member of the nine. Elsie McLaixe Miola. Pa. A true Highland lassie, hailing from Highland Town- ship and possessing all the qualitites of endurance peculiar to those people. She naturally is a staunch adherent to the cause of King George, but while iir the High School she was much interested in the wel- fare of a German lad. However upon her advem to C. S. . S. her conscience smote her and she now aspires to the captivation of the Kaiser. Neverthe- less she is a broad-minded, winsome lassie, happy, and good-natured, possessing the ability to discern good qualities in anyone. Helen Kresge DuBois, Pa. After graduating with honors at DuBois High School, Helen came to Clarion Normal, where she at once made many friends. Helen was never known to get angry; she is always smiling and ready to do somebody a good act. Since her favors are never for an; special one we of course think there must be some one at home. Helen is rather studious but she usually rinds time for her favorite pastimes — tennis, basket ball, and crocheting. Ri i n Snyder Clarion, Pa. As a light haired, brown eyed, little lassie she lived for a time at Limestone, Clarion County. When she was about twelve years old her people moved t Evenwood, Wesl irginia, where they still reside. Rufus as she is generally known, graduated from Evenwood public school, and in the fall of [912 came to Clarion to attend the Normal but having .1 desire for music, later took the music course. Her desire is to be a great flinch player, alth 1 iso msin and W est Virginia are both calling her now. 44 . T 11 E S E Q U E L L E 1916 Margari M Levies I 1. Pa.

Kathleen joined our ranks in the fall of 1914 after she had completed her studies in the Edenburg High School. She i jolly, good natured, and pretty, and belies es that loo much study is hard on the brain. In pleasant weather she likes to visit the Fair Grounds where she waits patiently for a little Ford which few people have ever seen.

We can ' t understand why Stell prefers tenor to bass but we are left to suppose, from the way she blushes when the subject is broached, that she has reaslns of her own. We feel sure that Stell will suc- ceed in whatever she attempts for she goes at thing with a vim that gets her thru with firing colors. Ruth McCluse Clarion. Pa.

During his two and one half years in the Normal, he was an interested and an interesting pupil. In the class room his one object was to learn. His energies were bent upon his work. His attention was first fixed upon the task before him. His exam- inations were creditably passed. 52 T 11 E S E Q TJ E L L E 1916 L4J Bui in addition to the regular class room work, the other activi- ties of the school were noi neglected. In the gymnasium, on the athletic field, at the meetings of the Young Men ' s Christian Associa- tion, and in the work of the Literary Societies he did his full share. I le regularlj attended church and Sunday School, and after the revival meetings of 1014, became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Clarion. As the President of our class in the Junior year he was untiring in his zeal for the good of the class as a whole and to his efforts is due in a large measure the united spirit which has char- acterized our class, lie looked forward with pleasure to his Senior year, and before that fatal day in August on which his promising life was ended, he had partly packed his trunk. Hut the Omniscient Father had different plans for him. On a bright afternoon he was suddenly transferred to the I lome of many Mansions. The sad news was quickly carried to his friends. The Senior class was represented at the funeral by: — Horace Mooney, Donald Walker, Samuel Crooks, Charles P ' enstmaker, Marie Mckcnna, Nancy alters, and Fred Haines. A large number of other school friends and alumni were present. The faculty was represented by: Miss Givan, Dr. Ballentine, and Mr. Carson; and the Methodist church by: — Hon. Harry Arnold. Then, with no throbs of fiery pain No cold gradations of decay, Death broke at once the vital chain And freed his soul the nearest way. SK SSSIIISSESrj T H E S E Q U E L L E i 9 i 6 £ rninr Class Jilaxt ? 1IE students of C. S. X. S. have the department of dra- matics, one of special interest to all and have raised it to a very high standard this year. For our ability in dramatics we are very much indebt- ed to the work and patience of Miss Lida M. Carpenter, who came to Clarion in the fall of 191 5. She is a graduate of the Cum mock School of Oratory of the Northwestern University, and has taught three years in Redfield College, Redfield, South Dakota. From our work in the Literary Societies and public speaking classes we gradually rose to higher standards until we appeared on Thanksgiving evening, November 25, in the Senior Class Play. This year we gave, Only a Country Girl, a rural play in four acts. This was a play in which all had an equal part, and one in which the acting did not seem to center around one or two persons. The plot of the play however was centered around Flora Goodwin, a farmer ' s daughter and Philip Burleigh, a young Xew Yorker to whom she is engaged. The seriousness of the play was relieved and lightened by the love affair of the Lanky and green, Bijah Finn, the jack-of-all-trades and Delia Slocum. the typical country hired girl and by Mrs. Peasley, the nervous, fussy, country gossip. During the first act Philip comes to the farm to win the pretty 02 T H E S E Q U 1- L L E i 9 i 6 demure country girl, but Mrs. Burleigh, his mother, a hand dignified, and haughty city woman, who wants him to marry a societj woman, also comes to the country, and by falsehoods and deceptions makes Flora believe that Philip does not love her. Mrs. Peasley, who never has a minute to spare but always seemed to be sparing them, thinks thai Flora oughi to marry Dave Weston, a sturdy manly young farmer, but Dave soon learns that Flora is g ting t 1 marry Philip. Amos Goodwin, a typical farmer, Flora ' s father, is very sympa- thetic and has Flora ' s good welfare at heart . I le and his wife, Sarah, seem rather surprised and dazzled that such a handsome, polished, cultured New York business man like Philip Burleigh would want to marry their little Flora, and the} think that it might be better for her to marry Dave, but leave it all to her. In the second aet Philip has returned to the city and Flora is sad and despondent and the feeling increases when the letter she expects does not come. It has been intercepted by Dave. This helps Mrs. Burleigh in her plot which she furthers by her falsehoods causing Flora to believe that Philip does not love her, and that he is to marry a society woman. The third act occurs in the Burleigh residence. Philip, who has been ill is just recovering, and he and Grace, his sister, are talking. The conversation turns toward Flora Goodwin and by conversing 55 1 ' ■«•. 3 -!  .V ' V ' ' ' ■■ ' '  J r f  '  ' '  ■ ' .«■■■■?

Delia, who have come to New York on their honey-moon and have been invited to dinner by Philip, are now ushered in by the stiff and pompous Thompson to the discomfort and chagrin of Mrs. Burleigh. In their conversa- tion Philip learns that Flora is to marry Dave Weston, which seems utterly unbearable to him. The fourth act occurs in the sitting room at the Silverbrook farm, Flora ' s home. Preparations are being made for the wedding. Flora ' s mother, Sarah Goodwin, who is so kind, motherly, and sympathetic seems to be worried and Flora is not as happy as Mrs. 3 Ijjjj — — H 1 - . r . :Ti hi ' 1 ' ' 1 ' 9j « — Peasley thinks she should be, Dave, whose conscience hurts him, has written Philip to come and then confesses the whole deception to Flora. This is one of the emotional parts of the play. It was re- lieved by the arrival of Philip, which was brought about by Grace ' s help also, and Philip and Flora are reunited. The play was considered by everyone to be a grand success. This was due not only to the splendid individual work of the cast but also to the untiring efforts and the patience and ability of Miss Carpenter to whom we owe thanks and praise. 56 HaDKttflDIBaEB T II E S E or E L L E 1916 U3 (East of (Hbarartrrs Philip Burleigh Oscar W .

As the suggestion received the hearty approval ol all, plans were immediately formed and the date was set I ' . ' !■ Tuesdaj , ( ctober 26th. The thought uppermost in the mind of every Senior for the next few days was, If only it is pleasant on Tuesday. But to the dis- may of all, Tuesday dawned dark and gloomy, and it was decided to postpone the picnic. But, t ward in ion, there was a sudden change in the weather conditions and the joyful news that we would hold our picnic was communicated to us in Physics class. At a little after two, we left Seminary Hall, loaded with baskets whose contents amused much interest, and in a short time we reached the picnic grounds, a large field, an ideal place for a picnic. We were accompanied by Miss Bitner, Prof. Egbert, Mr. and Mrs. Reese and Mr. and Mrs. Mathews. Soon after our arrival we engaged in baseball which was en- joyed by all, even if our rules had never been printed. Other games, — such as quoits, redrover, and three deep, — were then indulged in. After some time we gathered to have our picture snapped and, from the appearance of the picture, no one would guess how slippery the top rail of that fence was. Then we had races and such fun as they were, potato races sack races, wlieel-barrow races, three-legged races and hundred yard dash. Many participated in these races striving to win the prize. These prizes were in a large red box and all were curious to know what they were. hen the box was opened all were delighted to find that the prizes were — lolly-pops. Perhaps one of the most interesting and spirited races was be- tween a Senior and the dog which had captured his cap. The canine dashed around bushes and over obstacles with remarkable agility, the Senior closely pursuing. The race resulted in a victory for the owner of the cap. When the call of Supper sounded, all hurried to do full justice to the good eats which Mr. Mathews so kindly provided. As dusk approached we gat hered around the fire and sang school songs and popular melodies. As the fire died out, we started on our homeward way and got back just in time for study hour, a tired but happy en iwd. 59 17 Juniors 17 T 11 l S K ( T K I- L K i () i 6 £ dlmum (SUaaa (Mfora President DoN Robison Vice President Arthur Thomas Recording Secretary Helen Reed Corresponding Secretary Eleanor Davis Treasurer Susie Bonsal CLASS COLORS Sky Blue and Gold CLASS FLOWER White Carnation CLASS YELLS Rickety ex co-ex co-ex Rickety ex co-ex co-ex Ala Bu Ba Hobble Gobble Hobble Gobble Sis Boom Bah 1917 Rah!

The Juniors, the class of 1917, gave the annual Junior Party, in honor of the birth of George Washington. It has been the custom for main- years in Clarion Normal, to celebrate the occasion of Washington ' s birth, but we feel that never since the precedent was established, has our Junior Party been surpassed. It was our chief aim in giving the part}-, to honor Washington and that for which he stands, our United States, and not to make our name, our class, stand our illustrious. To carry out the idea of national, as well as class spirit, and patriotism, the decorations were worked out in schemes of red, white, and blue bunting, and crepe, with several minor class insignia, showing that the love of nation was placed high above the love of class. The dining room was made even more attractive by means of nature ' s gifts, beautiful plants and ferns. The festive occasion was opened by an impressive Grand March, headed by our president, Mr. Robison, and our secretary. Miss Reid, through whose efforts, mainly, was the party made a success. Following the grand march, the evening was partially given over to dancing. For those who did not care to dance, several interesting games were introduced. These games were so factinating, ap- parently, that a group almost missed refreshments. In fine, enough amusement was planned for all, so that no-one could do other than enjoy our part}-. Refreshments were served during the course of the evening. They consisted of strawberry sherbet, wafers, and cake, having as a souvenir, a small United States flag. The Party broke up about 11 115, and though tired, we were hap- py, each one having been inspired with a deeper love for class, for school, but better still, inspired with a new love for our own dear country.

The first notable event was the . and Y. M. C. A. reception given in Navarre Hall, where we met many new students. During the fall term we met and organized the Sophomore Class of which Mr. Rossman was elected President. The Sophomores are well represented in, Tennis, Baseball and above all Basket Ball, as the Sophomore boys again carried the honors thru the series of the class basket ball games. The Sophomores are interested in the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. work and three of the boys are members of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet. We all think that the class of ' 18 will tower above any other class that ever graduated at Clarion. As we approach the end of our Sophomore year we are all pleased with the record of the year, but we look for better things ahead. We will be glad for a few months vacation and visit at home, but when another September comes around we will all be glad to return to our dear old C. S. X.

It is a training school which aims to prepare us to take our place in the world as teachers. It is here thai we have our first practice in teaching. Each Senior is required to teach one period a day for the whole pear, teaching a different grade, and subject, each term. Before teaching a plan of the lesson must be submitted to the critic teacher, who passes her judgment on it before the subject is taught. At present Miss Rice is principal and superintends the work in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades ; Miss Bitner is supervisor of the primary grades; and Miss Klahr has chargeof the kindergarten, and is supervisor of the drawing. The work accomplished is equal to that of a graded city school and when a pupil leaves the Model, he is fully prepared to enter the first year of the Normal course. Each term the Seniors were given methods of teaching about once a week by the Supervisors of the Model School. This helped us in teaching and also in discipline. While teaching our classes we are tinder the supervisors, who see that we are working along the right line, so our work may be satisfactory. At the present time our Model school accommodates about one hundred pupils ranging from the first to the eighth grade inclusive. This year about fifty dollars worth of books have been added to their library, purchased from the proceeds of a play given in the spring of 1915. In the Fall term we observed Parents ' Day, in order to give the parents of the children an idea of the work. We must put forth our best efforts in this school, because the interests of these children are in our hands; and if we do our best, we, ourselves are the ones benefited in the end. 78 •,;. iSJZELmSMLISMMWXl.U ■ ' ■ ' • • ' «1 UMLUUZ 2S 3 ■ ■ ■ ■ I ■ ■ ' - - T II E S E o V E L L E i 9 i 6 |I. 11 01.

The Association aims to bring the girls closer to Christ in their daily life and endeavors to show the value of a t ' riendlv and helpful spirit toward all. Not only is the Association le in a religious way, but it is also helpful in a social way, showing more fully the possibilities of life. ' This vear has been one of excellent opportunities. In the fall term, more zeal and earnestness in our work were created by the visit of Miss Lovejoy, Dean of omen at State College. In the Winter Term, this enthusiasm was increased by the observance of the Jubilee, the fiftieth anniversary of the Young Women ' s Christian Association. from the sen ices held all realized more fully the value and influence of the Asso- ciation work throughout the world. We were fortunate in having Miss Richard- son, our Field Secretary, with us for the opening meeting of the Jubilee and her presence gave an added strength and enthusiasm to the meetings. As a fitting close for the Jubilee meetings, we held an Historical Meeting at which the History here was given. In February, a Bible Institute was held for which we were able to secure the services of Mr. ' Arthur Rugh of the International Board of the oung Mens Christian Association. The Y W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. worked together in preparation for this Bible Institute. Several public meetings were held and these greatly increased the interest in Bible Study and unity of spirit. Besides the regular Bible Study Classes in the Sunday Schools, we hold W ed- nesday evening praver meetings, and on Sunday, a joint vesper service with the Young Men ' s ' Christian Association. Bible Study circles have been organized among the girls this vear. We feel that our work this vear has been fruitful and we trust that the work next year, under the guidance of the new cabinet, will be still more helpful and effective. 79 a mat WALKER « ZfcA }Q  |fl CONNER CARRIER m T 11 E S E oi E L L E ii ii i i i i i i i 9 i6 President... , Merritte Davis President Oscar Johnson Re Si 1 ( -_v Arthur Thom vs Corresponding Secretary Dean Conner Treasurer Donald alker i 1!

Designed, as it is to promote the spiritual welfare of the young men, it strives by various methods to accomplish its mission. We think that service should be the keynote of our work. Realizing that we can best secure others by having our own system on the best possible basis, we aim at an effective organization, which shall work smoothly, to the best end. There come many young men who have been active in community and church work at home. Some one has said that activity is the foe of decay. This must necessarily apply to spiritual as well as to physical life. Therefore we attempt to give every fellow something to do throughout the year, that his training in Christian leadership may not suffer a break The past year has been one of the most successful in the history of the asso- ciation. The young men responded nobly to the lines of work mapped out. They worked together and the harmony and Christian spirit shown in the Association has been gratifying. The visit of Mr. Arthur Rugh was a great spiritual and mora! uplift. Among other things, it marked the beginning of a campaign for daily- bible study, which met with considerable success. Our Wednesday evening meetings are informal. In them subjects which deal with the daily life of the student are discussed. Open discussions are fre- quently held and they are a source of much interest and benefit to the participants. e have listened to some strong addresses at our Sunday evening meetings. The newly elected cabinet is an exceptionally strong one. The President is a man of sterling character, whose heart is in the work. With an improved leader- ship we rightly expect great things for the coming year. In a school of this type there are many opportunities for Christian service. The servant who hid his master ' s money was not the only failure who misses the opportunities on every side for the enrichment of life. If we, as an Association, are able to so reveal to men these opportunities that they grasp them, we may feel that ( ! id has blessed us.

S. . S. There are two I these societies and proudly we men- tion the name of the Bancrofl Society. This society has high aims, and endeavors to live up to these aims. The method of selecting the members for the si icieties was changed this year. The presidents of the Literary Societies chose the mem- bers alternately, choosing first those who showed talent alone various lines, and not as in former years when the members were chosen alphabetically. Each year a contest is held between the two Societies during Commencement. Last year the Bancrofters gained enough points in the contest to make the standing between the two societies equal. The following people have been chosen to represent the Bancroft Society in the annual contest to be held during Commencement this year: Principal Alternate DEBATE Coy Siiellito Glenn Rossman ORATION Kred Byers George Meredith recitation Doris Bauerlix Genevieve Schugars essay ; Mildred McMahan Minerva Harding story telling Mvkxa Keirn Emma Jack 85 THE SKQ UELLE i 9 i 6 03 Srpartmrut nf Public pr-aktttrj in I BLIC Speaking teaches students to be not readers merely, but thinkers as well. No calling, no association of busi- ness or social life, but feels the stimulating effect of this culture. A course of study in Public Speaking is becom- ing more and more a necessity in every vocation of life. The efficient teacher is the active leader. In creating efficiency for leadership this department stands par excellence. Much genuine interest in Public Speaking has been shown during the year thru various activities, as: Freshman Reading Senior Public Speaking Primary Reading Methods Debating Private Lessons Senior Class Play Literary Society Programs. The private pupils have appeared in pleasing repertoire from time to time. During the Winter term, Doris Bauerlin delightfully entertained the Woman ' s Club of Clarion with, Sally Ann ' s Ex- perience, by Eliza Calvert Hall. In February, hearty apprecia- tion was shown by Farmer ' s Institute when Oscar Johnson read The Boy Orator of Zepata City by Richard Harding Davis; and when Merritte Davis read How the Old Horse won the Bet, by Holmes. For the Christmas esper Service, Lida M. Carpenter, the director of the department, gave a literary interpretation of Ralph Connor ' s beautiful story, The Angel and the Star. Students who are graduating in the Normal Course and are able to carry extra work in Public Speaking during the Junior and Senior years, may become Senior candidates for graduation at Cumnock School of Oratory, Northwestern University. 86 Tin Class in Expression T H E S E U E L L E Ifcbatr NE of the most enjoyable features of the life at Clarion is the debating club under the leadership of Prof. Egbert. This year the work was most interesting and exciting, in as much as we had debated with California Normal School each of the two preceding years and the record stood one victory for each Club. When school opened in September Prof. Egbert rallied the forces and work was at once begun. Each Mon- day evening at seven o ' clock all students who were interested, met in Music Hall and debated various subjects. Before many weeks were over the Club members had settled into definite work preparing for the trail debate. Five of the best debaters of the Club were chosen to debate the question with seme of the town people that would later be debated with the California Debating Team. This year Claifornia had the choice of subjects while Clarion had the choice of sides. Question: Resolved that the United States should adopt a policy of Military Preparedness. Clarion elected to take the affirmative. As a result of the trial debate, Mrs. Nellie Moore, Margaret McMahon, and Joseph Bonidy, with Bertha Mitchell as alternate, were chosen as the team to go to California, to represent Clarion Normal in the third annual debate. The team worked very hard. They had the facts and drove them straight from the shoulder. This left no opening for question in the mind of the judges and the night of the debate at California, a telephone message brought word to the school that Clarion was victorious. It fell to the lot of the class of 1916 to make the record, two out of three debates that have been won by Clarion Normal School. However Claifornia proves a good loser and is ready and anxious for the battle next year. This is the spirit one most admires, and when a school can lose gracefully as well as win, the right standard of sport is being upheld whether it be in athletics or in work that tests the mind. The School and the Debating Club express their greatest appreciation to Prof. Egbert and Lida May Carpenter, Teacher of Expression, who so faithfully assisted the team in the training that made victory possible. The students and Faculty of California were most courteous to the visiting team. After the Debate a delightful reception was tendered them and the next morning the Clarion Team left California feeling that friends were parting to meet again next year at Clarion. 89  i f i i i i ' i« i ■■«■ i vrrwwmMHMfHnnii T H E S E Q U K L L E ittmur 9 i 6 ill SIC is a vital factor in the school life of Clarion. No gathering, religious or social, seems complete without some form of music. The choir, organized under the capable direction of Miss Bent, has furnished music for the Sunday evening meetings. For a choir newly organized and having never sung together until last September they have accomplished a great deal in the way of pleasing and artistic chorus work. Their efforts have been greatly appreciated and the} deserve much credit. Using the choir as a basis, a chorus of a hundred voices was organized to sing at the Christmas Vesper Service. The chorus sang, Gloria from the Twelfth Mass by Mazart and, 0 Bren- heurence Mit and old Xorman carol and several other classical Christmas songs and carols. Miss Carpenter read Ralph Conner ' s, The Angel and the Star. Her interpretation of the story was very effectively and exquisitely finished. The whole program was well worthy of commendation. The choir remembered the traditional custom of singing Easter Carols on Easter Morning. They visited the dormitories and awakened the Faculty and the ministers of Clarion with glad Easter Songs. On Easter evening the choir sang The Resurrection by Fred- eric Field Bullard. Probably the most pleasing numbers of the cantata was the chorus Hark Ten Thouasnd Voices Sounding and the solo, Art thou Weary, Art thou Languid? by Miss Bent. She has a lyric Soprano voice and her rendition of this number was artistic and very satisfying. Mr. Lawrence Herman added much to the effectiveness of the numbers by playing the violin obligate in his usual splendid style. The Literary Societies have furnished a number of splendid musical selections. The Franklin Girl ' s Sextette has sung several times. They sing both humorous and classical numbers and always please their hearers. Miss Bent trains this sextette. The Music- students frequently play at society furnishing some lovely piano numbers which never fail to please. On Monday evenings the students living in the dormitories gather in the reception hall of Navarre and enjoy a half hour of singing. The} - sing the old songs and sometimes indulge in popular songs. If our musical activities were removed from us we would be lost indeed. The Bard was right when he said that music hath charms to sooth the savage breast. 91 92 m T H E S E QJJ E L L E 1916 Athlrtir Aiuuiriatum (Otftrrrii President 1 [orace Moo ' rident Donald Walker S retary Oscar John Treasurer Merritte I) w cs Rollin V.

The call for candi- dates brought to lighl many aspirants. Of last year ' s Varsity bul two returned to take their positions, Mooney and Crooks, the latter ot whom was kept out of the game until after Thanksgiving. Fentsamaker was also out until after Thanksgiving. 1 [owever the past year had developed some good material in the class games, among whom were Fenstamaker from the team of 1916; Robinson and hitehill from the Sophomore team, and Rossman from the Freshman team. The first game was on Thanksgiving day, when they defeated the fast Alumni team by the score of 28-22. After Thanksgiving the team was strengthened by the return of Crooks and Fenstmaker, and from then on the team displayed considerable class, by winning the majority of the games. Out of this year ' s team four will be lost by graduation, but from the form shown by some members of the class teams, we feel certain that little trouble will be encountered in developing a team next rear. 95 96 Junior Girls ' Team Junior Boys ' Team 98 Sophomore (Iik I ' am Sophomore Boi I im 99 Freshman Girls ' Boys Tt:. Freshman Boys ' Team 100 Hasrhall [E base-ball record ol Clarion Normal is one of which it ma justly feel proud. At no time in the history of the school, has the team had a more successful season than that of 1915. Out of the fourteen games played, twelve were registered as victories. One ol the many reasons for the teams greal showing, lay in the remarkable pitching of Mooney, whom we consider one of the best Prep, school pitchers in this section. Many a member of an opposing team can tcsitfy to this. Time and again he has sent opposing batters to the bench without having connected with the sphere. In addition to this the team developed an offensive strength which was hard to break up, and a defensive strengh, difficult to penetrate. The outlook tor this year ' s team is fully as promising as that of last. With the return of five members of last year ' s team, Mooney, Davis, Stitt, Johnson, and Walker, we have a good nucleus around which to build a winning team. The new candidates show con- siderable class, several of whom will make strong bids for positions. Combining these prospects with the hearty co-operation of Mr. Reese, in securing the services of Rolling Davis as coach, the outlook could not be better. Coach Davis is a man who lias had considerable experience both in playing and in coaching. As a coach at Fairmount Normal he proved himself a competent director. We take following extract from the year book of the Fairmount Normal : The Normal was fortunate this year in securing her very efficient coach of last year, Mr. R. V. Davis of Oberlin College. Not only has Mr. Davis developed a winning team from inexperienced players, in a remarkably short time, but has demonstrated well the fact that it is possible to do this without resorting to the rough stuff , which man}- coaches insist is absolutely essential. Is it a wonder that even base-ball players appreciate being spoken to as a gentlemen? Mr. Davis ' work among the boys lias proved that they recognize a base-ball player. The appreciation of Mr. Davis at Clarion is none the less hearty than that at Fairmount. SCHEDULE At Home Abroad Brookville Collegians Kittanning H. S. Dayton Normal B. H. S. N. B. H. S.

This year we are fortunate in having secured the services of Coach Davis as instructor for athletics. Greal activity in athletic is dis- played.

I think it will be sufficient to narrate the one big game of the season. It was on Thanksgiving day. the air was crisp, and the grounds in an ideal shape. The roaring mass of students were crowding the line anxiously waiting the kick-off. At last the whistle blew and the brawny captain advanced on the pig skin sending it to the far end of the opposing team, and the battle was on. To tell of the terrible struggle, quarter after quarter, would take too long but as in all games there comes a crisis, so had a crisis come in this game. It was the last quarter and but five minutes to play. The opposing team had already scored a field goal and thus the situation stood. Clarion had the ball on the enemies fifty yard line and their only hope was a long run terminating in a touch down. Everyone held his breath as the signal rang out — 26 — 14 — 927. A moment later Beans had cleared the right end and was dashing toward the the long sought-for goal. It was now a question of evading the back field men. The crowd went wild as Beans carried himself down the field with great momentum. He had straight armed the back field defense until the field before him was clear but danger approach- ed from behind and just at the goal line a successful tackle was made bringing big frame to the ground with a thud. Was he across the line? This question was never decided but we do know that at this juncture Beans awoke. His big carcass was lying on the floor and he was struggling frantically with a pillow under his arm. m W t rfHVilMI¥W flJHA S E I 1 E L L E 9 ' (Urnqurt MONG other sports indulged in around C. S. N. S., cro- quet must not be forgotten. Just who holds the cham- pionship in this scientific game, 1 do not know, but I wager Dr. Ballentine will make any of them go some. Just as it is necessary to know Latin in order to bake good bread, so it seems a knowledge of Latin has its charms over the big wooden balls. One would think that the mathematicians who have made a close study of angles and have their eyes to the fraction of a gnat ' s heel, ' would have no trouble in coping with the Latinarian; but I say to you, watch the game some day and ascertain wether or not Latin is transferable into that line of sport? This sport is not conned to the Latin and Mathematical depart- ments but our steward is no slouch at the game. He would as soon play croquet as cat. The ladies of the faculty also participate in this most modest of all games, and indeed at any time after 4:15 one may enjoy watching the sport. 105 THE S E O U E L L E ICthranj NotPH jjEYERAL interesting exhibits have been held in the library during the school year. The first, in December, con- sisted of 46 books, purchased with a sum of money, the gift of the class of 191 5, for the purpose of providing new books for the Public Speaking Department. The collection includes books on debating, expression, and reading, as well as several vol- umes of poetry, and some of the late plays. The second exhibit included scrap-books made by the member of the Senior Class, showing hat the country teacher and pupils may- do to augment the number of books in a school library, and at the same time provide valuable material for both reference and busy work. A Christmas bulletin board, clipping cases, and a trap-nest, made by the boys of the eighth grade in the Model School, were also features of the exhibit. The third exhibit is the Garden Corner in the library, and will be shown during the entire Spring term. In this Corner are bulletins showing school and home garden activities in various duties, towns, and rural districts in the United States; one bulletin depicting some of the wonderful accomplishments of Luther Burbank; and another on the work of the National Audubon Society. Other features include books, magazines, and leaflets dealing witli home and school garden work , nature study, birds, etc.; a bird bath donated to the school by theSharonware Workshop, N. ., a col- lection of mounted birds; blooming plants, and seed-flats showing experiments of the class in Agriculture. This exhibit, prepared by Miss True, with the assistance of some of the Senior girls, is constantly used by various departments of the school, as well as by the children of the Model School who are interested in home gardens. The final exhibit, which has been of special interest to prospec- tive teachers in Clarion Count} ' , is that showing a case of fifty books from the Free Library at Foxb ' urg, Pa. These libraries are sent out to the schools of the county on the payment of a small fee, and may be kept for the use of the school during the entire school year. This exhibit also contains a set of shelves suitable for a school library, made by standard measurements, in the Manual Training Depart- ment, by the boys of the Senior Class, under the dicretion of Mr. Haverstick. 106 ..

Because of his aversion to strenuous exertion he discontinued the regular course, and, although his interests seemed in the class of last year, vet in spirit he belongs to the class of 1916. He is entertaining, versatile, and brilliant. As a conversationalist he has an aptitude for various subjects, his specialites being politics and base-ball. He sees only the bright side of life and that person must have a chronic grouch who does not enjoy a hearty laugh at the antics of Walker and Mooney.

Students who take the regular course find that the work requires a concentration of all energies, and therefore good habits of study, earnestness of purpose, and perserverance are developed. The regularity of the life, especially in the dormitories, makes for system in habits in living. The general atmosphere of the Xormal gives the students an excellent atittude toward life. Mr. M. H. Davis. Clarion, Pa. My Dear Sir: — In reply to your letter. I wish to say that some of the results of normal school training are the development of the power of con- centration and capacity for sustained effort and hard work; the power of self-control of others; a vision of the great field of service, and a desire to use talent and training in developing the mind and character of the child; an appreciation of life — its sacredness. its value and its possibilities. ery truly yours, A.

Benson Centra] State N irmal Sch ] The Normal Schools hear the same relation to public education thai schools of medicine, law, and theology sustain to their respec- tive professions. They equip the young teacher in both the theory and practice of the art of teaching, which simply means an under- standing of educational principles and psychology and the power of applying that knowledge in teaching others. A real Normal School presents the science and history of education to its students through its professional courses; it trains its future teachers through observa- tion and practical teaching experience in the Model School. The latter is the sine qua non of every successful Normal School, the lab oratory, so to speak, where all that the student has learned of psy- chology, methods, and principles of education finds opportunity for verification and application. The (neatest alue lies in the very great need for more and better prepared teachers. In the United States, of over 100,000 teachers needed annually, about one fifth are graduates of the Normal Schools. The rest have little or no professional training, a fact showing clearly that we have not enough Normal Schools or adequate facilities tor training teachers. Furthermore, it indicates a low state of public concern for the education of the children of the nation. Horace Mann, who founded the first American Normal School at Lexington, Mass., in 1839, felt that the crying need of the United States was for trained teachers. This need the Normal Schools are endeavoring to meet for the ungraded rural schools as well as for the better organized town and city scuools.We must have however, more educational leaders and school superintendents of true vision but not visionary in their plans, who will create a demand for the best trained teachers in remote and isolated localities. Mr. M. H. Davis, Clarion, Pa. Dear Sir: — To graduate from a Normal School should be the ambition of every prospective teacher in Pennsylvania. The vocation of teach- ing has long suffered from a lack of professional consciousness. Con- fidence initiative, enthusiasm, and self-control are the products of the Normal Training. A few of the by-products are scholarship, integrity, community welfare service, and thirst for more training. Who can say whether the value of the by-prouuets exceeds the worth of the products? cry respectfully, W. S. Hertzog, California State Normal. 113 ■■  «f ' i«fl «! •  ■ '  ■ « ' ' «« hWtMMMM iWt3MiMiMHM9XIWWWtVtij. T H E S E OU E L L E 1916 Mr. Merritte H. Davis, Clarion, Pa. My Dear Sir: — In reply to your favor of the 31st of January I beg to say that it seems to me The Greatest Value of a Normal School Education ' has a wide range. To the boy or girl coming from the rural com- munity where very few educational advantages are offered, the Nor- mal School is a source of inspiration, education, and no little pro- fessional training. To those who have had educational advantgaes to a good high school course, the Normal School ought to furnish professional knowledge, training, inspiration, and the right point of view. This conception embodies the idea that the science and art of teaching can be and ought to be learned just as thoroughly and conscientiously as the practice of medicine or law. But after all, the greatest value of a normal school education must be measured in terms of service on the part of those who have been educated at the Normal Schools. If that service is of little value, then the education at the Normal School was probably not very valuable. If that service is as it is frequently found, then the measures of value are almost unlimited. Respectfully yours, P. M. Harbold, Millersville State Normal School. Mr. M. H. Davis, Editor of the Sequelle, Clarion, Pa. My Dear Mr. Davis:— In response to your request, I am glad to send to you the follow- ing statement:- — The greatest value of a normal school education, as distinguished from that of like grade given in institutions generally grows chiefly out of the atmosphere which the school creates. Assuming that this normal school atmosphere is as it should be, two things of marked value flow from it: (1) The learner approaches each subject from the point of view of one who would use it for others. ith this motive of personal service dominant the individual is most likely to become altruistic and social, and to avoid selfishness. (2) The leadership which is so soon to come through teaching, encourages to the greatest extent the spirit of in- dependence in work. MUZLi.l2.l2JBJ2JZW- ■ ■■ T H E S E l ' 1. L L E i o i 6 K Those wlni are disposed to antagonize the normal schools, would discounl the value of number two or the second sentence of number one. They do, however, frequently say thai learning a thing for the specific purpose of using it, robs that thing of its cultural value that ' truth should be learned for truth ' s sake. To this my reply is that the normal school is not primarily an institution for general cultural education — a substitute for the college but that is is a professional institution, and deals with cultural material in its curriculum. ours very truly, Andrew Thomas Smith, Mr. M. II. Davis, Thomas Normal Training School Clarion, Pa. Detroit, Mich. I )i k Mr. I ) avis: — I am herewith sending you a paragraph which may, or may not serve your purpose. If it does not fit it will be an easy matter to consign it to the waste basket. Normal school training stands for two things. First: The busi- ness of the Normal schools is to prepare young men and women for the profession of teaching. It reviews academic subjects in the light of pedagogical principles; provides courses in psychology, be- cause teaching must deal with mind processes; also includes courses in the history of education and practical pedagogy. Added to this theoretical training, practice teaching in the training school allows the student teacher to put into practice the academic and profes- sional matter he has learned. It is for the purpose of making an efficient teacher who will serve at least a period of two years in the schools of the Commonwealth that the Normal schools are essentially established. But there is another thing that grow s out of the type of training given in the Normal Schools. Usually the young men and women in these schools are persons of limited means and are not in school as a matter of course but for a definite purpose. Even if they are getting a pedagogical equipment, the training is of such a character as to be most helpful in any future occupation or activity. No- where is the spirit of genuine work more manifest than in Normal schools; it is right that it should be so. Young men and women who go out from the Normal schools to teach or to work ought to be thoroughly imbued with the idea to help others whom they meet or teach, it will have done a profitable thing for the State and consequently for humanity. ith all good wishes, I am, ery sincerely yours, J.

Haw iflii Jlarrnt SS Clementine swayed slowly to and fro in her great easy chair. Stopping every once in a while, she would lap ' nervously on the floor with the tip of her shoe, or sometimes adjust her glasses and smooth down the tightly twisted curls, surrounding her plain, ltitle face. She had primed up her hair a dozen times or more in the last fifteen minutes, and in between times she walked from the mirror to the large sunny window of the living room, pulled back the blue bordered curtain, and peen d anxiously down the back garden path. She was in a solicitious state of mind ' this morning, and evidently was looking for some one. Bui that person was remarkable indeed, who could arouse one bit of emotion in Miss Clementine ' s smooth disposition. She was naturally the most patient soul, accepting everything that came along as being sent by Divine Providence to fill up space in her lonely career, whether it be for evil or for good. However, there was one thing that stirred the inmost depths of her miaden heart. It was Zachary, her parrot. The affections bestowed upon this haughty bird were enough to spoil any healthy, well-balanced youngster. And recognizing the fact that he was the sole recipient of her affections, he conducted himself with that inde- pendent air, equal to the honor of the burden, and skillfull}- held Miss Clementine right under his claw-like thumb. Visitors would fain have called him Polly only to be astounded by the volley of saucy words poured forth upon them, irrespective of age or rank. While Miss Clementine meekly apologized and explained that her bird would not hear to that common name of Polly, but owing to the noble blood in his veins, he must be called Zacharv after his ancestor who was once in the possession of his majesty, ' Wm. of Orange. However, Zachary was neglected this morning. As Miss Clementine walked back and forth from the window to the mirror, she would stroke his pretty feathers or smile kindly into his sympathetic eyes, but would not take him tenderly into her motherly arms, nor breathe sweet words of endearment into his bristling feathers covering his tiny ears. All this Zachary could not understand. Why did his mistress act so indifferently toward him ? Could there be any one else robbing him of her affections? Impossible — Why there was no one else he ever saw around the house, except a casual visitor or two, who would drop in now and then for a few minutes talk, and Hilda, the Swedish maid, who had been in Miss Clementine ' s service long before Zazhary was adopted, and was nearly as old as the mistress herself. Never- 127 r H E S E ( U E L L E i 9 i 6 S3 theless, the neglected bird was troubled and picked angrily at sone stray bread crumbs, scolding incessantly all the while. Meanwhile Miss Clementine had gathered up an assortment of different colored crazy-quilt patches, and had drawn her chair to the window, with feigned serenity, sat down and pretended to work industriously. Suddenly, the sound of wagon wheels was heard, and Hushing with nervousness and seeming pleasure, she jumped up, scattering the bits of silk over her ordinarily tidy floor, and with un- usual alertness ran into the adjoining hall. Hildie, Hildie, she cried to the maid. You needn ' t take the groceries this morning, I want to speak with Mr. Schmatzer myself about er — er — ordering some Early Rose potatoes. Hildie meekly eyed her mistress, shrugged her shoulders and replied, All right, mum, but muttered knowingly to herself, I tank Miss Clementine bane vant to talk to Mr. Schmatzer every morning when he come aboot them Early Rose potatoes. She walked into the living room and murmured rather fiercely something about the old Dutch grocery-man. Dutch grocery man! Dutch grocery man! shrieked a voice in her ear. She turned and saw Zachary still scratching revengefully at the bread crumbs. Dutch grocery man he again cried, the old donkey. Ja, said Hilda, he bane an old donkey, and Miss Clementine bane crazy aboot him and coming closely to Zachary she continued in a confiding tone, the old Dutch grocery man bane like her too. He tank she has money and bane want to marry her, I bet. He bane vant her money, dat ' s all. At this point, Mr. Schmatzer himself was ushered into the living room by Miss Clementine, where, she said, they could decide more comfortably about how many Early Rose potatoes she would need to plant in her two acre lot. Ah, here too was where Zachary met his rival. But what a charming specimen he was indeed. Wabbling stuout and short, with a little fringe of shaggy beard cir- cumventing his great red cheeks and chin, and above all, the most brilliantly, glistening bald head he had ever seen. So this was the person depriving him of the affections due him . Ah, old Dutch grocery man, you ' ll suffer for this. Thus were the thoughts bewildering, poor Zachary ' s parrot brain. He could scarcely keep from flying at his enemy then and there, and scratching out the fadded little blue eyes, which gleamed timidly under the shaggy eye-brows. Hildie wisely saw that she would not be needed as a participant of the bargain and withdrew to the kitchen. But not so with Zachary. He would not leave his com- fortable perch on any occasion, and not now especially when his r CIV ■■l.-J.-J IV CTOf ■■«■■«■«!■ UIIUIMlMMlUllll r EG T H E S E Q U E L L E i o i 6 3£ victim was sitting directlj beneath him. Here is where he would get his revenge. He sized the man from head to foot and with a shrill, disgusting laugh screamed, Old Dutch grocery man! Ha! Ha! Such a donkey! IK ' wants Miss Clementine ' s money. Dat ' s all. Poor Miss Clementine. Her face turned deadly pale, and her little black eyes flashed angrily, horror and humiliation intermingling. Zachary, Zachary, she screamed. Get out he cried, and turning to Mr. Schmatzer, he continued his harangue. Old Dutch grocery man; villianous old cheat; want to marry Miss Clementine; take all her money. Zachary will scratch your eyes out. And with this he flew at the little man and might have carried out his threat, hut the grocery man, apprehending the coming danger, made one great leap and flew out into the hall as fast as his little fat legs would carry him. Miss Clementine followed closely at his heels, screaming hysterically. By this time Hildie, hearing the commotion, arrived on the scene, much to Mr. Schmat .er ' s good fortune; and seeing that the bird was in earnest and not likely to have mercy on his rival, her large Swedish heart took pity on the little man, and with her big gingham apron, she skillfully captured the parrot and held him tightly in spite of his screams and vigorous flapping of wings. Out in the middle of the garden, Mr. Schmatzer at last stopped and looked around, much to his relief, he saw the enemy was no longer in pur- suit, and so sank exhaustedly to the ground. Ach, du lieber zeit, he gasped as Miss Clementine hurried up to his side. Dat vas von mighty goot excape oh, Mr. Schmatzer, my poor Hans, cried the lady, and thereupon entwined her thin arms protectingly around his neck. Peacefully as a lamb, but for only a few sweet seconds, Mr. Schmatzer succumbed to her tender embrace. Then jumping up, he strode back and forth, shaking his fist vehemently and utter- ing evil curses and epithets against Zachary. By jiminy, I ' ll sue that pest for damages, I ' ll learn it to fly at me, the wicked diabolical beast, and forgetting the presence of his lady love, he fumed about enraged as she had never seen him before. Oh, Hans , implored Miss Clementine, Be calm, he was a naughty bird, but he is such a sweet playful dear. He wouldn ' t have harmed you. Harmed me, roared Hans, Aline guteness, woman, I vould be dead now if I hadn ' t run so fast, I tell you the animal is demented. He must be killed, shot, posioned, he cried, all the time terror and wrath culminating. By this time Miss Clementine was weeping copiously. She had feared the bird might have harmed her lover, but nevertheless she couldn ' t allow him to talk so outrageously against her beloved pet and what is more he couldn ' t persist in adoring her without learning  ' ,i '  ? i i .« '  ' i [ V HlitVWIVHIiW VtVti tg iWtViVWiX9SMVtVtVnm Ul T H E S E Q U E L L E 1916 £3 to love the sweet creature. No, Hans, she sobbed, Zachary is my own dear bird. ou mustn ' t say those things about him. Call me anything you like, but don ' t speak disrespectfully of my Zachary. Here she straightened up with all the dignity her frail, little body could command, and Mr. Schmatzer saw that his persuasions would be of no avail. She was bound to keep her beloved bird, no matter what might happen to him. He was only an insignificant suitor for her hand, and also for her money, while Zachary had long since claimed ownership to her whole possessions. There was no other way out of it, he must learn to love the bird, if he would foster an} ' hopes for its fair mistress. Ach, the ugly, despisable thing, how- can I love it? Must I kiss its dirty, gaudy feathers like Clementine does? Must I hold it in my arms? Ach, I vish it vould croak. Thus were his thoughts, but his looks must not betray him. Now was the time for decision if he ever was to decide. Perhaps, after all, the bird wouldn ' t be so dangerous when they became acquainted. And, besides it was getting rather aged and would not very likely live much longer. By winning Miss Clementine meant also the acces- sion of sufficient wealth to keep him comfortable in his old age, so his choice finally rested in favor of the lady, money, and the parrot. But what if he had insulted her? Perhaps she would now scorn him and prefer to live forever alone with her pet. To be sure, she had always shown her affections for him profusely; but anyway he would take the chance and if she really wanted him very badly, she would accept him, provided he would share his aections with Zach- ary also. He turned to Miss Clementine. Perfect submission had gradually spread over his somewhat flushed face. Their eyes met. A thrill of delight passed through the little lady ' s body. She realized now how much the Dutch grocery man meant to her. Oh, how hap- py she would be if he learned to love Zachary too. He was coming toward her. There was no longer wrath in his face. In his eyes gleamed a tender, loving brightness. He held out his arms to her. Clemie, he whispered. Yes, Hans, what is it? she replied, as she shyly drew toward him. Ah, Clemie, how my heart longs for you, I cannot live without you, my precious love. Will you forgive me? Forgive you, she replied, Forgive, indeed, I will. But Hans, she hesitated, Hans, dear, think of my darling Zachary. Can you love him too? Clemie, returned Hans, Clemie, I do love the playful little bird. 130 ' SJ3M12lM.!Z ' • ■ ' ■ ' ■ ' « ,,J i.-j n mm iu in ■ a m m mm I II E S E Q U E L L E i o i 6 Wi iptnur ' a Jinny Shirk ' } had a lit tit- horse, Its leaves were white as snow.

Anything, he said. Two men were once talking over their son ' s career at college and one remarked.
