Forever unsullied we’ll keep thy fair fame, Forever we’ll sing in thy praise. We have learned through thy teachings to stand up and fight For all that is noble and true, And on high we will bear the red and the white In our -efforts to dare and to do. Harvard) The hours we have spent within thy dear walls Are pearls in the setting of life, And these jewels we’ll cherish on leaving thy halls, Come pleasure or struggle or strife. Thou wilt still be adored as this moment thou art. Through the years, let them bring what they may ; Still green will there grow in each loyal son’s heart A true love for dear old Conway. 3 4 (Lu C had e a Untuc HIui lias been the inspiration of this ttolnmc, tnc «ratefitlly anh affectionately hchicate ti e iloyhook of 1909. 31 1 is hifficult to bc- Jietie that an actor toho can play many parts can he eloquent in all; hut the wise, the mitty, the marm-hcartch anh eloquent “Bean” J tuift null line former in tljc memories of the (Class of 1909, not only because lie is a faithful ani loyal mentor in the classroom, but because he is a noble, courteous, (Christian oentleman outsihe of it. islii ■■ m l«S mm ■I iff GEORGE EDWARD REED, S. T. D„ LL. Greeting The kindly and generous treatment accorded the first ap- pearance of the school annual last year has encouraged us to take the record of another year’s voyage and record the doings, wise and otherwise, of the stalwart Conwayan crew. As yet we don’t pose as a clipper ship, but we ve got a sound hull and stronp- rigging, and with these we hope to breast the waves of public opinion. We expect to sight a few rocks and storms after we are launched, but with true men at ropes and tiller we feel that we can outlive any gales which may blow across our bows. Nobody could have worked harder than the captain, mates and men in the building of our scholastic vessel and now that we are spreading our canvass we hope that the warm sun- shine of public approval may greet us and this record of our doings laid down in the Logbook of 1909. 7 W.

Instructor in Lat ' n, Conway Hall, 1908 — . 9 History of Conway Hall Conway Hall, nee “The Grammar School, was born on September twelfth, 1783. A slender child of frail constitu- tion, few of the colonials who had a speaking acquaintance with it, cherished the thought that its existence would last for more than a few years at most. True it was, that it had a sturdy parent of bluest blood and finest nerve in Alma Mater Dickinson, but in the little old Carlisle of that day there didn’t seem to be sufficient nourishment to rear the child to the age of maturity. Numerous nurses and various changes of diet were its portion during the first fifty or sixty years of its childhood, but it continued to pine under each of these until a wise gathering of hoary headed trustees got together and frankly discussed in an earnest heart to heart, the true condition of the fragile ju- venile. The final analysis of the problem was precipitated when one wiser than his fellows said, “What this child needs is not so much a change of diet and nurses as one steady nurse with the same kind of diet. Thereat he named one, George Edward Reed, doctor as well as nurse, whose good preaching and better practising were making themselves substantially evident in the eastern end of the land. Investigation was followed by negotiation with this nurse-doctor, and not long hence he was on the spot, ad- ministering to child and to parent. Both grew amazingly, but the child ' s clothes soon grew so tight that they had to be let out and patched, until taking pity on the discomfort of the youngster, the Doctor found a generous friend in the philanthropic Andrew Car- negie. The latter’s interest in the growing youth prompted him to donate $65,000 for new apparel, provided that its name might be changed with its clothes. Thus in the year 1904, the child was reclothed and re-baptizecl Con- way Hall as a tribute to Mr. Carnegie’s friend, Moncure Daniel Conway. Now the stripling school, which formerly clung to the parent institution for support, has in its new clothes and surroundings grown so sturdy that it has begun to con- tribute to the support of the older institution. Under the immediate and fostering care of Dr. W. A. Hutchison, it has forged to the fore, out of its former class and into the class of the biggest and strongest secondary schools in the country. It has wrestled with and thrown nearly all of its burliest rivals, it has developed in every part, and with a body firm and lusty, filled with true sporting spirit and loyalty, it bids fair to stand first in its class by the time it reaches its majority. 11 “The Gang’s All Here” 12 Senior Class, 1909 Colors — Blue and Gold OFFICERS President— Luther E.

CLASS HISTORY Near the close of the year 1907, by- the decree of the faculty and in recognition of our merits, we were per- mitted to put on the armour of the Junior Class and march into history as the first Junior organization of Conway Hall. This privilege was gained on evidence of the power to maintain and successfully carry through to the end a campaign worthy of a class of such spirit as that of 1909. As Juniors we raised high the banner of success, which will never need to feel humble beside those of the succeed- ing classes for many years to come, perhaps never. For we certainly outclassed our opponents three to one as two flag raising feats were accomplished most skillfully, largely by the well laid plans of several members of the class. First, a pennant was placed on the top of the building on the flagpole. This noble deed was performed, while the guests and all the students, except the chosen few, were intensely interested in a potato race, which was one of the events at the mid-winter reception. This pennant, inno- cently, but most gloriously waved until the hours of the next morning began to grow larger, then some eagle-eyed member of the faculty, discovered it; and so, by his order or advice, two other faculty members undertook the dar- ing and venturesome service of removing the pennon from the pole. They achieved this deed within the space of one hour; but the one said the wire was the tightest he had ever untwisted, while the other had both to pay a tailor’s bill and to go through another trying circumstance to get back into his room. It was a laughable sight to see the one lift the other dignified professor up to break through his own transom, for some evidently disappointed Junior had plugged the key holes of the doors with wood. As this flag did not remain up until day-light, no chance was given for a scrap and as a result the Juniors were not sat- isfied; they wished to give the Seniors a little preparatory 14 training for their many rushes and fights during their first year in College. The opportunity was soon given, for during the still hours of the night, while all, except the same chosen few, were peacefully slumbering in dreamland, a pennon bear- ing the same class numerals, ’09, were being suspended midway between the two large trees, which guard the en- trance of Conway Hall. This time the Juniors were ex- pecting nothing less than a rush, but only a baseball was thrown, which missed the Junior, but went through the office window. Our emblem was untouched until two de- scendants of Ham in the interests of peace and the Head Master, removed it, when the sun was high in the sky. We had no such trying circumstances, as the Seniors never got a flag up during our days as a class. Our final victory against this class as opponents was in the class-meet of track and field events. Our opponents were overwhelmed in this, for the points scored by the Juniors were more than the sum of those scored by the Seniors and underclassmen. So we have all reasons to be proud of our record as Juniors, but we will lay these aside as traditions and will speak of the Senior class of ’09. At the first meeting, although a goodly number of the faces seen there last year were missing, it was easy to see that mettle and spirit were abundantly present. A little later the class proved itself to be wide awake and quick to act For in a similar manner as in the previous year, we were first to hang our banner between the two historical trees. Early in the morning both classes appeared beneath the banner. Some of the stalwart Junior members made at- tempts to ascend the trees, but they were easily checked. They had almost entirely given up hope, but one chosen by the gods, had gone up a nearby tree, unhindered on account of the seeming impossibility of the thing and while everyone else was fighting hard on the sod far be- neath, winged Pegasus bore him to the fatal tree; where in a very short time, wonderful to relate, he unwound the wire and let down that banner to the crowd, who were anxiously waiting it like a pack of hungry wolves. Only a few fragments ever reached the ground, for it was torn asunder by both classes, the major part being seized by the men of ’09. This may be called a defeat, rather a mis- hap, but at any rate such a defeat only tends to make one more cautious regarding the smaller things. We regret even this; although our defeats are as nothing beside our victories. The greatest accomplishment of any class for this school and perhaps the most noteworthy thing of our class was the invention of a seal. Several members saw the great necessity of this and had the genius to carry it out with the aid of a faculty member. It will appear on all of the school pamphlets and will remain a memorial of our class as long as the school exists. The class is noted for its brilliancy and pretty girls, and also for its excellence in English, Latin, and advanced mathematics. Evidences of this are shown by the Con- wayan, which is better this year than it has ever before been. So from a survey of our two years’ work and stand- ing, it is easy to see that we are “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of the faculty.” HISTORIAN. Class Owed O Noble Aims, Ambitions high Thee have we cherished long. Despite the powers of crib and trot, Dire tempters of the strong. Posterity has claimed its due And we with Dutch and Trig And Physics, English, French and Greek have done our daily dig. Our debts we owed but now these debts Within their graves are laid And passing thru old Conway’s doors We know the owed is paid. 16 Schuylkill Haven, Pa. LUTHER EDWARD BASHORE. “Judge.” “A rarer spirit never Did steer humanity.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity, President of Reed Literary Society, President of Athletic Association, President of Senate, President of Senior Class, Football Team, ’o7- ' o8, Man- ager of Football Team, ' 08. All Hail! Our President! The “Judge” is an all-around man who succeeds in his studies as well as in his athletics. He is quite a favorite of Hutchie’s, and our esteemed Head Mas- ter often asks his advice on matters pertaining to the good of the school The title of Presi- dent fits him so well that we have decided he will some day run this great country of our. Where he will run it to has not been decided. JOHN SKINNER BECKETT. “Chawn.” “A proper man as one shall see.” Millville, N. J. Reed Literary Society, Covenant Society. Chawn who rooms with Dr. Ottey, the Chiropodist, is an example of how self-sacrificing a man can be; for when the “Doctor” has no patients he offers himself as sacrifice and keeps the bunion carpenter in practice. It is a wonder that he can walk and no wonder that he is such a general favorite. He is studying for the ministry and because of his kindly spirit and broad-mindedness we are sure he will succeed. 17 PERCY I. BERGEN. “Buzz. Southold, L. I. I have ever found thee honest-true.” President of Reed Literary Society, Conwayan Board, ' 07, Baseball Manager, ’09. ‘ ' Buzz has been here three years and has impressed everybody with the fact that he studies hard and plays hard. He has been rather unlucky for he has been sick at least a little while each year and has consequently been thrown behind in his studies; but he plods on cheerfully until he catches up and then makes everybody take notice. Buzz” is studying for law and will probably enter Syracuse next fall. LOUIS WILMER BUBECK. “Ben.” Schuylkill Haven, Pa. He hath indeed better bettered expectation.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity. Vice-President Reed Literary Society, Reed Literary Society Debating Team, Treasurer of Senior Class, Business Manager of Logbook. When Bubeck first arrived, people were not especially impressed, but he soon drew atten- tion to himself through his achievements in all lines he undertook. A man of sterling quali- ties himself, he compels respect from everyone he meets. Though he is still undecided, the chances are that he will study law. The class of 1909 feels sure that no matter what field of work he enters, his success is a forgone conclusion. 18 JULIE CECELIA DELAVAN. “Taken.” Brooklyn, N. Y. “A falcon towering in her pride of place.” Secretary of Class of 1909, ’o8-’o9. The first of our two “little maids,” named “Taken” by her friends because she was taken by the “one man.” She says she is not taken, and indeed we believe her. despite her eternal singing of “Sweethearts may come, Sweethearts may go, But there’s only one sweetheart for me.” RICHARD ROEDER FELLER. “Red.” Martinsburg, W. Va. “The world ' s mine oyster.” Reed Literary Society, Basketball Team, ' og. He has the distinction of being the only man in our class with an Aurora Borealis Top- knot. This same topknot is accompanied by a warm temper which occasionally gets him into trouble, but he cools down quickly and keeps on good terms with everyone. 19 HAROLD W. FRITZ. “Fritzie.” Delano, Pa. As merry as the clay is long.” Omega Chi Fraternity, Reed Literary Society. Although this is his first year here, “Fritzie’s” sunny disposition won the hearts of all. He is a firm believer in the saying that “Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well,” and goes at his tasks with might and main. His Professors can tell you of his record in the class room, and for the rest just ask anyone that knows him. GUY FULTON. “Man delights not me; no nor woman neither.” Baseball Team, ’09. Of course, Guy is an exceptionally hard student, but when he is, called on to recite the answer to the question “slips his mind.” Consequently he has the game of bluffing down to a science and it is rare, indeed, for a professor to trip him. He is also good at “rough-hous- ing study hall, as many people can testify, and he does much to relieve the monotony of school life. PAUL LASSIERRE FUNK. “Funkibusr Newville, Pa. “Yon Cassius hath a lean and hungry look.” Funkibus is a “hello girl,” which means that he occasionally works in the Newville Tele- phone Exchange. Despite the fact that he is very reserved, he was quite the favorite with the ladies at Asbury park last summer. There is not space to tell of his adventures, but you might ask him about Deal Beach, and what happened there for two weeks. His heart beat so fast that he broke three watch crystals. WESLEY POWELL GRIFFITHS. “Grif.” Williamstown, Pa. “All the courses of my life do show I am not in the roll of common men.” Reed Literary Society, Covenant Society. “Grif” is a very conscientious sort of fellow. All through the school year he has been cudgeling his brains to understand why he was given a reception by the Grand Order of Night Owls. He is rather studious and has little time for any distractions. 21 JOHN COOPER GROOME, JR. ‘Coop.” ‘A living dead man.” Carlisle, Pa Reed Literary Society. “Coop Groome is above all things a student. You might think he never had an idea, but there is where he fools you. He is bright as a new coin and his keen sense of humor makes him an enjoyable companion. His achievements in the class room speak for themselves, for he is giving everyone a tight race for the valedictory. GEORGE WASHINGTON HAUCK. “Houckie.” “Right noble is thy merit.” Houckie is the man with “the-smile-that-won ' t-come-off.” If you catch him at the right time he reminds you of the proverbial school girl with her giggles. It seems that it is his am- bition to become the champion broad-grinner of the world. “Houckie” is a pianist of some note and himself has composed several pieces. The Class of 1909 bids Paderwiski look to his laurels. 22 Carlisle, Pa. JOSEPH ZEIGLER HERTZLER. “Hertz.” “A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.” Football Team, ' 08. His hobby is horses, and what he cannot tell you about them is hardly worth knowing. “Hertz” has been called the “matrimonial bureau” because of very efficient service rendered during the year, and his greatest ambition is to see all Conwayans safely married and settled in Carlisle. He is famous as a “promiscuous lady fusser” and that is also his hobby. HOMER CECIL HOLLAND. “Young, strong and of good friends.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity , Reed Literary Society. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, Business Staff of Logbook. At first it was thought that he was studying for the ministry but in fact he has not decided just what he will be. In the two years he has been here he has made many friends and though very quiet he enjoys a little roughhousing at times. 23 FRANKLIN CLYDE HUMBERT. “Johnnie Bull.” Carlisle, Pa. “He hears merry tales, and smiles not.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society, Editor-in-chief of Conwayan, Student Senate, Editorial Staff of Logbook. ' Johnnie Bull was so named because it is practically impossible for him to figure out a joke in time to laugh with the others. His room-mate says he is so English that occasionally he even talks English. He is thinking of taking Prof. Kline’s place next year as instructor of “Physics.” ANDREW ROSS HUMMELL. “Baron.” The Baron is one of our exotic blossoms who thinks in German and speaks in English. Sartorially he is a continuous Fourth of July and his sox and ties make an echo that out- rackets the Anvil chorus. He has a few gray hairs from long sojourn in Cicero class, but to intimates he has confided that he hopes to “ride it off this year. We hope his hopes are realized. 24 Altoona, Pa. HORACE LINCOLN JACOBS, JR. “Jake.” “A braver soldier never couched lance, A gentler heart did never sway in court.” Upsilon Gamma Sigma Fraternity, President of Reed Literary Society, Associate Editor Conwayan, Student Senate, Editorial Staff of Logbook. Jake is one of the best fellows in the world. He is always ready to help a fellow out of a scrape, ready to give you his time, ready in any way to make himself useful. He is a frequent visitor at Penn Hall, and it is rumored that one night during leap year he received four different proposals! And yet we all agree that it is no wonder. BURNETT OLCOTT McANNEY. “Bo.” New York City. President of Reed Literary Society, Assistant Manager of Football, Associate Editor of Conwayan, Editor-in-Chief of Logbook. Presenter of the Senior Class, Student Senate. Here he is ungentle reader; the umpire, who has passed judgment on the year’s game at Conway. Brickbats and boquets are now in order, so heave away. The evil that the average editor does, lives after him, but here is the glistening exception. He did so much work for the book that he was unable to write this, his own obituary, and when the same piece of work was turned over to the rest of the board they found that neither time nor space would admit of a cataloguing of “Bo’s” virtues. He’s a gentleman, that says a lot; he’s a good fellow, that says more; he’s made of stuff that wears well, and is true blue throughout. That’s Bo. 25 Carlisle, Pa. JOHN VINTON McINTIRE. “Johnnie.” “Second to none that lives here in the city.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society. From a mischievous small boy. “Johnnie” lias developed into quite a studious young man. It is said by some, that he knows enough Greek to teach— kindergarten. But when it comes to Virgil and Mythology, lie’s there with bells on. He expects to enter Dickinson in the fall and we know he will “do us proud.” ACTON J. W. MOWATT. “Murphy.” Dublin, Ireland. “It’s the world am like a drop of water, That in the ocean seeks another drop.” Associate editor of Conwayan, President of Y. M. C. A., Covenant Society, Editor of Y. M. C. A. Handbook, Historian of Class of 1909 as Junior, Student Senate. “Murphy” is. indeed, a rare spirit and the man that he speaks to can feel himself highly honored. It is quite evident that he is “seeking another drop” and also who that “drop ' is. It took him a long tune to decide to join us and we cannot but feel favored to think he is will- ing to associate with us. We wish he was twins so we would have more of him. IRA ADDISON OTT. “Morpheus.” “One touch of (good) nature makes the whole world grin.” “The greatest invention ever perfected and never patented is sleep,” quoted Ott to Red- dig, his confidant, and Reddig answered, “That’s what I grew fat on.” Long on the drowse, Ott got wide enough awake the other day to corner the demerit market, taking in ten at one fell swoop. From this we predict for him a high seat in Wall street some near day, and we hope somebody will put a bent pin in the seat. He is a high light in Newville ' s Four Hun- dred; knows geometry and the corner pocket, and always wears a smile that is a sure cure for indigestion of the disposition. THEO. WALLACE O’BRIEN. “Theo.” Crisfield, Md. “An Irishman, a very valiant gentleman.” Reed Literary Soc ' ety, Business Board of Logbook. “Theo,” though very quiet and studious, is indeed, a favorite with the ladies. His dream- ing eyes and absent-mindedness are a sign that he is a victim of Daniel Cupid, Esq., and a cer- tain young lady. He is a worker and did a great deal in securing the school seal for us. 27 Clearfield, Pa. ROBERT BRUCE PATERSON. “Patty.” “I perceive in your so excellent a touch of modesty.” Reed Literary Society, Secretary Athletic Association, Assistant Manager Baseball, ' 08, Business Manager Conwayan, Baseball Team. ’09, Basketball, ’09, Editorial Staff Logbook. “Patty” is, indeed, modest and retiring. Unless you know him pretty well it is heard to get a word out of him, for he firmly believes that “silence is golden.” A good athlete and and a hard student, he has won the esteem of the student body and we are sure that he will be just as great a favorite at Dickinson next year. MANSFIELD REDDIG. “Falstaff.” Mt. Holly, Pa. Here, joyful readers, is the gullible, affable, docile fat child from Mount Holly. He is a rotund monument of good breeding and good feeding, and weighs a near three hundred in his stocking feet. His fault is his good nature and his forte is his knowledge of math. Logar- ithms and theorems he devours like butter on Mother ' s pancakes and his love of numbers is substantiated in his own multiplied figure. EDWARD EUGENE REINDOLLAR. “Reinie.” Taneytown, Md. “I am a man inclined to thrift.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity, Sergeant-at-arms Reed Literary Society. “Reinie” is indeed thrifty, but he is shockingly prodigal when there is a stunt at Irving College, where he is a great favorite — with the President. He is a “shock” in mathematics, but despite that shortcoming he is a mighty nice fellow. He is going to be a business man. GRAYDON MUNDORF ROBINSON. “Bob.” Reynoldsville, Pa. There is written in your brow honesty and constancy.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society, Gamma Epsilon Debating Team, Orator of Senior Class. “Bob” did not enter Conway until he was sure of a bed large enough to sleep in, and in that he has to double up like a jack-knife. His head persists in testing the strength of the tops of the doors. He says he isn ' t seven feet tall, though it seem he doth bestride the nar- row world like a colossus.” “Bob is on the whole a very good fellow, though he is an ample home-wrecker, and has loosened the ties of several loving hearts. 29 JAMES LOUIS ROSE. “Rosie.” Waterloo, Iowa. “A man that loves to hear himself talk and will speak more in a minute than he will stand to in a month.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society, Football Team, 1908. He is the baby of our class. If he cannot have things his way he does not want them any other way. He has a bad case of “cephalo-genesis,” a disease which cannot be cured, until he has three times butted the wall and seen that the wall does not give way. We hope for this Rose, that he loses some of the unpleasant thorns that stick out from him at present. If only he does he will be a great deal more agreeable to the folk around him. JOSEPH CLEMENT SINCLAIR. “St. Peter.” Baltimore, Md. I had rather seal my lips than speak that which is not. “St. Peter” as usual has charge of the “gate,” or in other words the front door, and many are the tales he could tell of the late comers, but he won’t tell. Although he is a good student in every branch, he simply loves Algebra. He is deeply religious and we think he is making no mistake in studying for the ministry. 30 Waynesboro, Pa. CLARENCE MERLE SPANGLER. “Spang.” Your name is great in mouths.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity, Reed Literary Society, Basketball Team, ’09. “Spang” is really the cutest thing imaginable. With lovely, Huffy, blond hair and cheeks of the rosiest hue, he cannot help attracting attention from passersby. He plays basketball and sleeps most of the time. Since he does not believe in letting study interfere with sleep, he often sleeps in class, especially in Virgil. We think that these are “beauty sleeps” though he has not told anyone so. GEORGE MORRIS STEESE. Mt. Holly Springs, Pa. “Youth is the bud of manhood.” Reed Literary Society, Sergeant-at-arms of Senior Class. If any of the day students ever get into any mischief, you may be sure George is at the bottom of it. He is a thorn in the side of every professor who tries to keep study hall in order and a tormentor of every fellow who thinks he can study while “doing time” in that respected institution. He is no more than mischievous, however, and though his temper is quick, his heart is large. 31 JOHN CHARLES THOMAS. “Tom.” “I heard thee speak me a speech once, and it was acted.” Tom ' ' is a happy-go-lucky fellow who would surely make a hit in vaudeville. He is a sure cure for the blues when he feels well and if he cannot make you laugh until you cry there is something wrong somewhere. He has plenty of sense despite his favorite expression, “Gee, it’s great to be crazy. ” HARRY JOHNSON WHITEMAN. “Whitie.” Latrobe, Pa. O that I had a title good enough to keep his name company.” Gamma Epsilon Literary Society, Associate Editor of Conwayan, Student Senate, Man- ager Track Team, ’09, Prophet of the Senior Class, Business Staff of Logbook. h 1 tie was not one who could enter into athletics, but he was only too glad to do his part on the Logbook and Conwayan Boards. Since he left us we have often missed him and his spirit. He was the friend of everyone and had a heart so large that it filled his whole body. 32 Harrisburg, Pa. LUTHER ELDEN WICKERSHAM. “Wick.” “O, he’s the courageous captain of compliments.” Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity, Conwayan Board, Vice President of Senior Class, Business Staff of Logbook. “Wick” is, indeed, a “bunch of wit.” He is a good fellow who believes in work when he has work to do and play when he can indulge. His popularity with the gentler sex, pass- eth all understanding,” for it is said that he has at least one girl in every town in Cumber- land Valley. There are some towns in this valley, too. MAUDE ESTELLE WILSON. “Peggy.” New York City. “In maiden meditation, fancy free.” Associate Editor of Conwayan. Last, but by no means least, is the other “little maid,” of the Class of 1909. How can we bear to give her up! Some of us fortunately have the blessed privilege of being Fresh- men with her next year, but alas for the other poor fellows. Like McLane, we “look to her for inspiration.” 33 Our Dean The subject of this brief, inadequate paragraph is the accomplished scholar and savant whose pictured countenance is the choice esthetic treasure of this volume. Turn to the frontispiece and mark the Byronic grace of pose, the meditative air, the far-away seraphic gaze, the ex- pression of celestial abstraction and pensive reserve wherewith his eloquent portrait awakes the sentiment of awe. Journalist, author, dramatic critic, patron of the arts, and pedagogue — these are the professional terms which sug- gest the broad achievements of his highly distinguished career. Descended from old New England Puritan stock, vintage of 1630. Professor Swift conferred upon the favored State of Massachusetts the inestimable privilege of his birthplace. By some unaccountable aberration of judgment — probably due to his immature years — he entered Plarvard College, but promptly realizing the error of his choice, transferred his young allegiance to Dickinson, becoming at once the most active as well as the most ornamental unit in the class of 1904 — a famous all-star aggregation. Next to the extraordinary quality of his scholarship, Professor Swift’s primary distinction as an undergraduate was his long and meritorious service in the exalted post of Chaplain of the Sophomore Band — which tenure of office was co-terminous with the boundaries of his academic course. After four successful and brilliant years as correspondent and editorial writer for the big Baltimore and New York dailies, Professor Swift exchanged journalism for pedagogy, becoming Master of English in Conway Hall in 1907. Here he continues to labor in our behalf, devoted to his honorable calling of teacher, safe in the possession of learning, secure in the respect of his colleagues and the affectionate regard of his pupils. 34 Classes of Conway Hall Junior Class 35 Junior Class, 1910 Class Colors — Purple and White OFFICERS President — C.

Again we have the problem before us. Whenever a body vacates a certain amount of space, it is immediately monopolized by another body. Everything seems to run in an endless chain of succession: the world is never found wanting because of vacancy. And so it is with the Junior Class. As soon as the class of 1909 withdrew their hold upon the name “Junior,” the grand and glorious Class of 1910 rushed forward to claim it as her own. But. “What’s in a name?” a great writer has said. Nothing, unless there exists courage, loyalty, and ability to substantiate the name. The spirit manifested this year can be readily discerned by a glance at the athletic record of many of her noble sons. We were well represented in athletics; in football there were: McEane, Pratt, Stickell, and Zehner. who made their C. ' s -or “C. H. R.’s by gallant work on the gridiron. Basketball also shared a part, among whom were: Mackay, Pratt and Stickell. Those who participated in Baseball, were: Pratt, Stickell, Mackay, Zehner, Noel and Claster. While we have a great many interests on the gridiron and diamond, we are not lacking on the track. Runners and hammer-throwers are being developed in the daily prac- tices. But while we have been active on the athletic field, we have not been indolent in the current happenings on the campus. Especially on the morn of March twelfth, in the “wee small” hours before Old Sol had a chance to lift his rosy face above the eastern horizon and smile on Old Conway. President Bashore and his band of disciples had arisen for the purpose of putting up the Senior flag. And as the day began to dawn, hearing an unusual clatter in the Hall, Earpie pushed his nut” out of the door and found that quite a few Juniors were up and making prepa- rations to haul the ensign down. President Pratt collected the Juniors and went down stairs to begin the conflict, but found that they were pris- oners, that is, for about a minute, when a means of exit was provided. The first spectacle which caught their eyes was the “blue and gold” banner of 1910, suspended on a wire between the two sentinel trees guarding the entrance of the Hall. The Seniors and Juniors alike sized up the situation. Pratt and his men rushed forward with ropes to lasso the wire. But of no avail; it was tight. The Seniors also rushed forward and then the clash came. There was a general mix-up of both Classes, which presented a scene like that of a Friday bargain sale. Climbing the trees was then attempted, but the attempt failed. McLane and sev- eral others tried to go higher, but were immediately in- formed by the audacious Seniors that he that would exalt himself shall be abased.” Finally, while everyone’s attention had been diverted, by the excitement at another end of the campus, Pierce Mon- roe Zehner. Esq., better known as plain “Agricola,” the champion steeple jack of Columbia county, summed up his squirrel-like dexterity and climbed the wrong tree. Some thought he was looking for birds’ nests, while others con- cluded that he had mistaken it for a cherry tree. But when he reached the place where the limbs intertwine, he sim- ply crawled over to the right tree and descended to un- wind the wire which supported the colors. The wire was dropped amidst the scrambling of the excited class men, but — the old flag never touched the ground. After many 38 pulls and tugs, it parted into shreds and patches, mute souvenirs for both factions to retain as mementoes of one of the most exciting class contests of the year. Other deeds have followed this which add to and illus- trate our invincibility; and drawing our attention to the year which is fast receding, we see that our victories have so outnumbered our defeats, that the latter have simply acted as an urger to the former. As Junior Class men it has been our constant endeavor to place before ourselves an elevated standard and to “play the game” of life with all our hearts, minds and beings. It will be our aim in the future to cherish the ideals and tra- ditions handed down to us by the noble Senior Class-men of Conway Hall of this and preceding years. Thus with our faces turned toward Mecca and the glor- ious “Purple and White” waving in triumph, we take our stand on the threshold of seniority, viewing the “promised land” with satisfaction for the past and with hope for the future.

Leas, better known as “Martha,” has endeared herself to everyone who has been so fortunate as to meet her. She is always doing something for the comfort of the boys and any fellow who has ever been confined to the Infirmary can tell what a gentle, motherly nurse she is. Her warm heart and sunny smile have helped many a student over an attack of the “blues,” and for the sake of future Conwayans, we hope that she will never sever her connection with this institution. Assuring her that nothing is too good for her, the Class of 1909 is her devoted friend and admirer. By his ability in the Culinary Department, by his kindness to the students and by his never-failing good nature, Shaffer has won a place in all our hearts. A Senior in college, “Shafif” has been our steward since 1906 and has proved himself so efficient that the “sympathizing tear” traces its irregular course down our cheeks when we think of the poor fellows who will have to do without him after he grad- uates this spring. In view of his services, the Class of 1909 can only wish that Dame Fortune may follow him forever, and that he may never meet her daughter. Miss Fortune. Our Matron Saint 40 £l at i5t ics Acton J. W.

During this year the paper has progressed wonderfully, in lively literary material and also in size, and its increase in pages has proven our ability to support and publish a paper to rank with all and excel nearly all other school publications. The sup-- port given by students in the manner of subscriptions and literary material, has enabled this board to bring the paper to the standard it has attained, a standard which we hope to see raised higher than ever in the coming year.

Not medal tak- ers nor cup winners, but rather the silent forces in athletics which have helped others to become winners. Charles Wesley Hadden and George Irwin Chadwick have worked with the men on the diamond and the track until these men have borne off laurels that have decked the walls and the fair pages of the history of Conway Hall. Their work has been tireless and faithful and in their endeavors to make successful athletes they them- selves have stood as the best exam- ples for those who worked under them to pattern after. May they be with us long and may their work among us last longer. 70 Athletic Association of Conway Hall President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer ADVISORY BOARD.

However, as soon as school opened, we started working with a squad of thirty-five and no coaches. Our first game was with the Indians. The coach, Mr. Wilder, of Roches- ter University, had only been with us two days,. but in this game, the team showed some good qualities, predominant among which was the ability to take punishment. On the following Saturday we went to Philadelphia, and in a very loose game were defeated 1 8-0 by the Penn Freshmen. Penn won by superior luck, rather than by better playing, for the game was replete with poor plays from start to finish. On the next Saturday the team lost 16-0 to the best coached and trained football team in the country, that of the Hill School. This game showed our team up as being slow and as individuals, not in condition. Very much bruised and crippled, we had to succumb to an inglorius defeat. 34-0 at the hands of our old rival, Mercersburg Academy, on the next Saturday. The long halves which the Mercersburg coaches de- manded, wore our team completely out, for their opponents secured four touchtowns in half the time A. M. McLane, Capt. it took them to score their first one. On the next Saturday we played our first and best home game, and defeated the much-vaunted Villa Nova Prep team 6-0. This was the only really significant victory of the season, although the next three Saturdays we overwhelmed Penbrook A. C., F. M. Academy and Harrisburg Technical High School. We finished Joseph F. Ricca. 74 the season disastrously at Kingston, being defeated 29-6 by Wyoming Se minary. This game was a repeated assertion of the fact that the men on the team were not in con- dition. Speaking individually of the team, we must have only words of praise for Coach Wilder and Captain McLane, both of whom worked tirelessly and well to build up a team from almost entire green material. Mr. Wilder displayed knowledge of the game, and was always a favorite of the fellows, from the date of his arrival. Captain McLane is a man who works hard himself and is an inspiration to those with whom he plays. His defensive work is especially worthy of com- ment. At centre, Ricca, with his 240 pounds, proved a power and steadily got better each game. Two new men, Stickell and Hertzler, both inexper- ienced players, held down the guard positions cred- itably. Bashore. a veteran player, was at one tackle while the other tackle was taken care of alternately, by Durovick, McLane and Wallower. Shearer and Still, both good men, played on the ends of the line. Shearer’s playing, especially, received many favorable comments from outside coaches, who watched him work. Behind the line were Pratt at quarter, Rose, McLane and Durovick at halves, and Martin at full. Our backfield was far superior to the line throughout the season and barring the fact that they were not Hoke Martin always as helpful to each other as they might have been, they played a remarkable game. Among others who ought not to be omitted in a review of the season, are: Adams, Zehner, Groome, Thomas, Slater, and Shepler. With Shearer as captain for next year and Ricca, Stickell, Martin, Durovick, Wal- lower, and Adams as a nucleus, we ought to hope for big things. The reasons for this year’s lack of success — we will not call it a failure — may be briefly summed up in these three things. Lack of systematic training, dissensions among the players, and a poorly arranged schedule. If we work to correct these three evils, next year should be a C. Ira Pratt banner year in the history of Conway Hall. 75 The players, reading from left to right, are: Bottom Row: Captain Pratt, Feller, Spangler, and Paterson, Manager; Top Row: Stic ke 1 1 , Deardorff, Robinson and Wilder, Coach Basketball Despite the fact that the school initial is not awarded to those men who represent us m basketball, the number of candidates for the team was exceedingly large, and all worked with a will toward turning out a good team. With only one man back from last year’s team, we were neces- sarily handicapped, but after hard work, the team was picked and the men played together all through the season, achieving a record of which we may well be proud. Pratt, the main-stay of the team, played with characteristic vigor, and was a commander who kept the men steady. His work at forward was, indeed, worth watching. Paterson played a very commendable game at forward, and his sure- ness of the basket was instrumental in piling up the scores. Robinson at center, surprised even his opponents into call- ing him the “giant” and continued to make good through- out the season. Spangler, the sure-shot, played a wonder- ful all around game and to him we owe many of our vic- tories. Deardorf, Stickell and Feller also played a very good game, though the latter was unfortunate in getting hurt during every game. The schedule included games with Dickinson Freshmen. Shippensburg State Normal School, Waynesboro High School, and Middletown High School, the latter being numbered among the best in the State. 77 Baseball Team Conway Baseball Team OFFICERS FOR 1908.

Manager, Captain, 79 Baseball Until the spring of 1907, Conway had never had a repre- sentative baseball team. That year, owing to Coach Had- den ' s untiring efforts, a team was trained, equipped and sent into the field to make a record for us. Last year Coach Hadden and Captain Longo got the men together early and turned out a team that surprised the scholastic world. Captain Longo, on the initial sack, held the men together and winning or losing they fought hard. On second, O ' Brien, as usual, was reliable and was one of the best stick-wielders we had; Reigle did fine work on third and Maekay played his usual good game at shortstop. Our outfielders, Peake, Dolton, Keefer and Hatz, were there on all occasions. McKeown and Hatz did the pitching and there were very few hits made off of them. Both Pratt and Bullock were on the job behind the bat. All during the sea- son. the fielding was superb and the batting average of the team was very high and we cannot but admit that this was due to the exceptionally fine coaching of Charles W .

Hutchison, wife of our Head Master and one who was devoted to all of the interests of the sons of Conway. Mrs. Hutchi- son entered the Great Beyond October 29, 1908, leaving behind her a bereaved family and a host of loyal and loving friends. 1868-1908 82 The Covenant Society During this year the ministerial students of the Hall formed the Covenant Society for their social enjoyment and for the purpose of better studying God’s Word. The aim of the society is to live nearer to God and to help each other to help their fellow students. The society co- operates with the Y. M. C. A., and holds three religious meetings each week, to which visitors are cordially wel- comed. It seems strange that the ministerial students of other years did not think of this, and in view of the benefit de- rived by the rest of the school we are very glad that such a society was formed. May they keep up the good work and may they achieve success and that happiness which comes from a true conception of life well lived, and may the good which they impart be added to by those who receive it.

Composed of representative men from all departments of the school, it is supposed to foster the better spirit in the student body and. in minor cases, to deal with reprobates who do not study. A body composed of members from the Faculty and the student body brings professors and students to a better understand- ing of each other, and when matters of interest are dis- cussed (for they occasionally are), the topic can be seen from more than one viewpoint and can then be settled agreeably. As this is a comparatively new idea for this school, the Student Senators have been too much in awe of the Head Master to do much; but we think that in the future this Senate will be an ineffable boon to the school.

All communications will receive prompt attention; no attention paid to anonymous letters. i. Dear Sister: I am a boy. I am popular and a mem- ber of the New Conwayan Board. I know a girl. There was a club social. She went. I didn’t. Shall I get mad or not? Anxiously, LESTER. Dear Lester: Cheer up. When you become associate editor of the Logbook, she will be crazy to go with you; so run away and write your school news. 2 . Dearest Miss: Wie Geht ' s? I am a regular star at basketball. You ought to see me in gym. Gee! I’m awfully popular. And I’m very smart. I am a classical baseball player and perhaps I’ll make the second team. What would you advise as a good nerve tonic? Yours, RED FEELLER. My dear child: Yours is a very sad case. I hardly know what to prescribe. If you can only add the Conway Or- chestra to your achievements, get the cornet and try blowing on that. I shall be so glad if it helps. 3. Dear Sister: I am a man. I have been in Conway nearly six feet four inches. Can you beat that? 1 am a writer of some note, also a debater, also a fusser. Kline wishes me luck. Don’t you? H opefully, GRAYDON M. ROBINSON. My dear Graydon: You certainly must be used to com- ing to school by this time. In regard to your question, will refer your letter to the department on “Successful Housekeeping at Three Dollars per.” 4. Dearest Sister: I am a very fascinating young man; am 14 years of age, good looking and popular with the young ladies. Think I am in love with one of Carlisle’s damsels and write to learn whether I should remain in Carlisle during vacation. Am in a quandary and don’t know what to do. Nervously yours, BILL WOOD. My dear boy. Probably you had better remain in Car- lisle for the summer, and write your father that you are going to take a summer course. He will, no doubt, be pleased to learn that his son is getting ambitious. 5. My dear Sister: I recently had a hair-raising ex- perience, and write you for a little advice. On a trip to Harrisburg I left my charge in the coach and took a fast ride on the bumper. The Company has sued me for illegal car-riding and my girl has become angry with me. What shall 1 do? CHARLES W. HADDEN. Dear Charles: You certainly did a foolish thing to ride on the bumper. Why did you not get on the roof. I am sure you would have enjoyed it all the more, and would not have been detected there. Go and see your girl im- mediately and tell her that there positively will be no repetition of the occurrence, and I have no doubt but that she will forgive you. If she doesn ' t, communicate with me again. 94 Hades, Purgatory and Paradise in Conway HADES ist Circle — Preachers’ Club (Jno. S.

The twenty-eighth day of April was the date made red on the scholastic calendar by this startling event and many another April will have spent its showers and its sunshine before a like occurrence adds to the epochal history of Conway Hall. For weeks ahead, plans were guardedly laid for the dinner that was to mark the crowning glory of two years of success and triumph in class affairs. Subrosa commit- tees worked with gum shoe discretion; hotel estimates were procured with the caution that a spy secures the plans of an enemy’s fort; not a leaf stirred while the mi- nutest details were being completed, and in the hearts of the Junior brotherhood, innocent unbelief reigned su- preme. The dawn of the twenty-eighth broke rosy and propi- tious. All went merry as a marriage bell throughout the day; the class president was present at every class, and even at the ball game after classes the Senior folk were in ample evidence. It was after the game that they suddenly disappeared into the mists of the distance and only at that time did the Juniors awaken to the fact that Conway’s elect had departed. Then there was mounting in hot haste. All of the forces that the Juniors could muster from Gen- eral McLane down to Corporal of the Guard Tabler, were assembled to track the departed Senior horde. One. put- ting his ear to the ground, caught the rumble of a trolley going to Mount Holly, so with ears pricked and noses to the trail the Junior army, accompanied by Sophomores, Freshmen and other baggage, started in hot pursuit. In relays and bunches the besieging host at last arrived and under the command of their gallant general, who was armed with a set of sharp wits and a red carnation, they drew aside to plan the attack. The clang of an approach- ing trolley broke up the meeting, and surging out to cap- ture any Senior that might be on the car they espied the stalwart form of Jake Jacobs. Boarding the car en masse, one of the foremost hissed in the ear of the Se- nior, “Aha, you are mine.” But the other smiling up at him returned calmly, “At least not till 1 get to the end of the carline,” and thinking that he meant to get a full nickel’s worth the enemy sat down to await the stopping of the car. Not so with “Jake,” however. As the car sped by the door of Holly Inn, the fortress of the Seniors, young Mercury sailed into the air and amidst a howl of disappointment he landed in the midst of his friends. Then in sober earnest the assault began. The Seniors, safely ensconsed in their fortress, wisely deeming discre- tion the better part of valor, held the fort, while the others whose numbers were hourly augmented by new arrivals, held their breath and the road outside. As_ the hours passed, a car coming from the lower end of the town bore Seniors Reddig and Funk. These were recognized by the besiegers and immediately surrounded as soon as they alighted. Valiantly they fought and sore was the slaughter they wrought among the ranks of their oppo- nents. The latter, however, at last, proved too many for them, and manacled and tethered they were led away in triumph. 98 Trusting to Senior ingenuity, the besieged still con- tinued to hold the fort and ere long as the sun was say- ing a reluctant goodnight over the mountain’s rim the trolley gong again announced the coming of another car. While Mount Holly’s ninety-seven inhabitants and two yellow dogs looked on, the Juniors Co., surged over the platform and while they were surging, Jockey Joe Hertz- ler dropped off the bumper and made a dash for the Inn. Immediately a hue and cry went up from the outwitted hunters and one away from the others rushed before the speeding Joseph. A right arm shot out of the gathering dusk, three bricks broke in the solid sidewalk, and step- ping over a groaning form the wiry Jockey” was re- ceived into the arijis of his brethren. In the meantime the two Graces of the class. Miss Wilson and Miss Delavan, stepped off the front platform and with their chins tip- tilted marched through the aisle of vanquished knights to the stronghold beyond. Shortly afterward while the army without was taking its reckoning, a bent old lady with a market basket on her arm elbowed her way through the midst and as they looked after her she raised her veil and displayed the glowing face of “Tom” Thomas, who, as he smiled his thanks, disappeared inside the door of the stronghold as had the others before him. Then with all but the missing pair among them the members of the Class of 1909 sat down to their feast. A word of regret was spoken for the captured two but hardly had its sadness dissolved into space when a clanking of chains resounded through the corridor and wet and bedraggled the two missing members entered the room in triumph. Their story was called for and between bites they told of their incarceration in a hayloft on the other side of the stream that separted the Inn from the bank beyond. Here they lay, manacled and guarded by Junior sentinels. But in the darkness an angel of mercy came unto them and silently bursting asunder the links that bound them, whis- pered the way to an open window in the rear of the loft. Creeping to the window the two dropped from the dizzy height and landing unhurt (which goes the further to prove that a miracle had happened) they stole unmo- lested through the darkness to the raging waters beyond and silently slipping in they breasted the torrent and safely made the other shore. There in the same mys- terious fashion a subterranean door opened out of the darkness, and entering they found their way up into the light and the company of their fellows. To dwell further on the occasion would be but idle as its success was completed by the appearance of the two who were counted as lost. Yet it all goes to prove that a Conwayan of the Class of 1909 has turned the grindstone of education with enough vim to sharpen his wits to a degree where he will cut through the Gordian knot of difficulty, no matter who tied the knot.

Peter, this is really too sudden, but I — I think I could, Peter.” Peter. — “Oh, that’s such a relief; my friend, old Charlie Smith, is going down that way. and I ' ll mention your case to him.’’ Said B. Still who was gushy and coy, Dcn ' t you dare kiss me, Hosie, bad boy. Don’t you do it — it’s bad; 1 shall holler for dad.” What she did was to holler for joy. Mr. Holland, well dressed, had been following a lady through many streets. F ' nally she could not stand it any longer, and with fire flashing from her eyes she turned upon him, and in an indignant voice said, “Sir, you have been walking by my side for the last ten streets. Your conduct is outrageous. You had not once the decency to offer me your arm or ask me where I am going. You are no gentleman.” Bashful Thomas. — “Ahem — Sally — Sally (encouragingly). — “Well, Tom?” Bashful Thomas. — “Sally, do you ’spose your ma would be willin’ to be my mother-in-law?” Says Reuben Knott unto his fair, In language burning hot, “Matilda, do you love me, dear?” Say she, “I love you, Knott.” “Oh, say not so!” again he cried, “Oh, share with me your lot! Oh, say that vou will be my bride! Says she, “I’ll wed you. Knott.” A light breaks on Reuben’s mind, And in his arms she’s got, She looks demurely in his face And says, “Pray kiss me, Knott.” Beckett (who has been hanging fire all winter). — “Are you fond of puppies. Miss Smith?” She (promptly). — “What a singular way of proposing, Edgaris! Yes, darling!” And now the cards are out. Quantitative Analysis The composition of the Logbook has been carefully an- alyzed by Dr. Kline, our eminent Professor in Physics in order to find out the quantity of the different elements present. The following results were reached after much labor. EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT. 47 per cent. — Library News. 33 per cent. — Hot Air. 13 per cent. — Typographical Errors. 7 per cent. — Real News (this was separated with much difficulty.) BUSINESS DEPARTMENT. 40 per cent. — Unpaid Subscriptions. 52 per cent. — Trade Advertisements. 8 per cent. — Cash Advertisements. Weight a Minute I don ' t see how it is that you fellows get so mixed up about pounds weight and pounds mass. It is very simple. Just remember that a pound mass is a weight that weighs a pound while a pound weight is a mass that weighs the same amount on a pair of scales as a pound mass does. And a mass of a pound is the weight that a pound of any material would have if it weighed the same as a pound mass. Prof. Kl ' ne in Physics. The First Butcher.

First session of Study Hall. 20. Rose certainly was popular with the old fellows in the evening, but luckily he could not be found and thus avoided some pleasure. Many long letters were written home. Chicken for dinner. Robinson peached’’ on Rose behind the building. He would have gotten his. but time was too short. “Peaching” is a mean trick. McLane tried to pacify the bunch. 21. Rose found out the meaning of a trip to the athletic field after dark. Some fellows think he should have had more. Everybody on? All the old students received a See Mee” card. 22.

The Royal Kicking machine did fine work and Adams was very artistically painted. Messrs. Smith, Robinson and Griffiths were put through some stunts to the great amusement of the Owls. Some students saw Dickinson defeat Western Maryland, 5-0 and others saw the Indian-Villa Nova game. Prof. Chadwick finds a good congregation of Home Baptists in “BO ' s” room. The St. Peter’s Club did fine work. The heavy rains put out the electric lights and we ate our supper in lamp light. Out till 10.30. First rain for a month. Prof. Swift used some jaw-breakers in class, but that is nothing new. At supper Hutchie told us the rules of the evening study period. Everybody went to the fire at 8.45 on condi- tion that they would come back as soon as it was over. “Hercules” Becker and several others spent the night in the office playing cards. Who took the “Drunk” to prayer meeting? Who put him out of the building? None other than Alfred the Great. Big day at the fair and no school in the after- noon. Emmert and Adams took well with some of those rosy cheeked country girls as did some others. Whiteman held a smoker in his room after lights. Baird, Cardon and Robinson stung for disturbing the peace at 12.30 a. m. The football players were not able to sleep. Ill 3.

Then the head mas- ter began to talk. Dr. Black received some strange welcomes when he called on some of the fellows such as Wood, Whiteman, “Bo,” Bergen and others. 9. The student body elected Whiteman to the Sen- ate. After the societies were over, some of the fellows went to a reception at the First Presbyterian Church. 10. Everyone was out to give the team a good send- off to Pottstown. Hill, 17; Conway, o. Inno- cent Prof. Ohl did not like the word devil so he made the following announcement in the dining hall: “There will be a meeting of all candidates for positions on the team that plays against the preachers, immediately after dinner in the chapel. Out to meet the team. Oct. ii. Adams and Pallman were caught rough-housing Wood. Shaffer gave us chicken for dinner. Why did Emmert and some of his friends cut church? 12. A great many of our fellows went to “The Devil. - ’ 13. Hutch, told us our reports were bum. We knew it before he did. Prof. Ohl was not able to take care of his classes. They were too musical so they were excused. 14. Two chapel cuts a month are permitted from this date on. 15.

Red Letter Day for Conway. The Penn Hall girls saw Conway down Villa Nova Prep, 5-0, and then were given a reception in our chapel. Girls for everyone for the first time in our his- tory. The only trouble was the girls had to leave on the 8.05. Girls and fellows agree to correspond. “Bash met Bettie.” Purcel got the music teacher. Neckties, pennants and arm bands are missing from some fellows’ rooms. We went to bed tired, but happy. 25. A little real news to write home in our letters. The fellows have the Penn Hall Girls on the brain. 26. Mail is received by many stamped, Chambers- burg.” Everyone is on. “Chaddie” came back with smiles. Tri-weeklies again. 27. Exams are over.

He got fifteen demerits for the deed. 19. Tennant stung for use of the weed in the build- ing. 20. Big send-off for the team. Off in the afternoon. Some one rough-housed Whitie. All attend societies to get out in the evening. 21. Fine attendance at Study Hall. Hutchie wishes he could get the same number to prayer meetings.

Everyone in new, but no one can study. 7. “Casey” got his by being ducked and tossed about on mattresses. Says his room had an earth quake. 8 Ricca called to Harrisburg. His excuse was that he left a pair of cuff buttons there and wanted to get them. It worked. Miller has a great auction sale. 9. Beckett went skating and swimming at the same time. Out without cuts by showing tickets to University of Pennsylvania Glee Club entertainment. Many got out but how many went to the entertainment? Dec. io. Thomas went down town as soon as Y. M. C.

Skating at the creek, ice thin and “Chaddie” went in. 21. Skating causes many to cut classes. The fac- ulty say that the fellows this year study less tha ' n any year before. We doubt it not. Look at Yeckley, Davis, Lorenzo, Hozie, Zboyosky, Feller. Shearer. W. Groome and Durovick. 22. The waiters sent Hardman a box of_ cereal. Owls hold a very interesting meeting. A great scandal discovered. 23. A big fire up Louther street. The student body is permitted to see the blaze. Mackay comes back to school. 24.

Tooth pick and glass ot water for supper. Even though it is Sunday, the fellows use the iron stair case to get in. 1. “Whitie begins dieting himself and fully a dozen others have to follow suit. Hutchie calls Hosie to office for cutting classes and not studying. Hosie’s thoughts are always Still, therefore he cannot study. 2. The Seniors are given a lecture on “Public Speaking and How to Breathe, by the Head Master. It was very interesting and lasted long enough to keep some from their recita- tions. 3.

The fellows were patriotic enough to cut and make it a feast day. Out till ten fifteen. Cele- bration in town! Big speeches in the evening at the opera house. 13. Valentine parties are popular with these Con- wayans. Edwards had several female friends visit him from Williamsport. Student stand- ing placed on the bulletin board. New sys- tem causes much talk. Killough went to Penn Hall where a sudden playing of a wed- ding march caused him to get badly fussed. 14. Fellows begin to study on Sunday so that their next week’s report will be much better and they will have no Study Hall. IS- “Whitie” leaves school for his health. He will report ior the Latrobe Bladder, of which his brother is editor. The fellows will miss this little fellow. 16. Wood in late again. It is too bad that he can’t break away sooner.

It caused a number of wordy conflicts among the other fellows. Pete.” Groorne and Ricca, were very late in getting in. Even though it is Sunday, Perry was stung for using tobacco. Feb. 2 Mar. 9. The Junior class had its picture taken. A large class in numbers, that’s all. Water fell on them like rain as a result Feller was rough- housed. A great deal of pepper was thrown which caused some amusement and tears. 1. B. Still starts to school again. Makes it nice for Hosie. 2. All who went to see the Dickinson-Swarthmore game were allowed out till 10.30. Every prep, went, to be sure. 3. Fellows in the water room locked the door and ducked the preps on the outside. No one knew who shut the door or threw the water so each one got five demerits.
