UilJll.l.UL.I.UIAI-l|U.I.I.UIJA„. l- The Instano MDCCCCXII PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE INDIANA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL OF PENNSYLVANIA, 1912 CnpvriRhted, 1912 By Charles J. Mareiotti Arthur M. Stull The Art Work of the Annual THE DECORATION of the Annual was designed entirely by the Art Class. Each designed page has a special significance. An attempt was made to carry out the plan of the Gothic arch in the full page illustra- tions, the most important exception to this being the frontispiece, or the Indiana page. THE CLASS FLOWER, the American Beauty, was thought appropriate for the Dedication page and also for the Regular Class page. The golden rod was selected by the public school children, for the State of Pennsyl- vania, and therefore, was thought appropriate to represent our worthy and faithful board of trustees. THE OAK signifies patriotism and hospitality, and, on account of the many beautiful old oaks on the campus, that design was chosen to re- present the faculty of the school. THE LAUREL was used for the Art Course. The reeds and red-winged black bird are suggestive of music. AS THE MAIZE is one of our important commercial products, and also a suggested symbol for the United States, it was chosen for the Commercial Department. THE FLOWERS or fruits symbolic of the many nationalities found among our students are as follows: — England, the rose; Wales, the leek; Germany, the corn flower; Ireland, the shamrock; Scotland, the thistle; Holland, the tulip; Sweden, the pine cone; Spain, the pomegranate. THE LAUREL is sometimes used to symbolize the United States. It is thought most worthy, not only because of its historic value, but because it is evergreen, is an emblem of victory, and lends itself beautifully to design. It was especially liked for the Annual because it is found in every county of the state, clothing its mountains in beauty during the entire year. Dedication To James E. Ament, LL. D., to whose executive ability, in bringing about desirable im- provements, the school is indebted, we, the class of Nineteen Hundred Twelve, dedicate this, the first volume of the Instano. K. USCQCn JAMES E. AMENT, LL. D. In recent years the Indiana Nnrnial has shown marked development. This may be attributed to many things, the interest taken in her by the Com- monwealth; the gradual, but stea ly growth of the realization that she ailords one of the best opportunities for education given by any .school ; and lastly, the wide-spread knowledge of the retined and homelike atmosphere of the Institu- tion. This development is less noticeable to present sti;dente than to those who were acquainted with the school in earlier stages of its growth. Dr. Anient, the school ' s present executive, more than any other one principal the school has had, has brought about the conditions placing Indiana foremost among the normal schools of Peinisylvania. James E. Anient was born, September 2, 1863, at Woodburn, Illimis, his parents being James Roe and Emily Dodson Anient. Though born in the North, Dr. Ament ' s ancestry are of Southern extraction. His great-grandfather was Thomas Metcalfe, U. S. Senator, and former Governor of Kentucky. Directly or indirectly, the family, on the paternal side, is also related to the Dyers and the Monroes. Dr. Ament ' s mother ' s family, on the maternal side, were the Wil- liamses, of Amher.st County, Virginia. Ili.s grandfather, on his mother ' s side, was Dr. Eli Dodson. of iManchester, England. Dr. Anient has great love for teaching, and teaches because of that love. He always says that he became a teacher (|uite by accident, that he was really intended to be an architect. His training in, and knowledge of, architecture has been of the greatest value to him, however, in his work of building up great schools. His early education was received in the public schools of his nat ive state, and in Valparaiso Univensity. Later, his interest in education led him to graduate from th( Illinois State Normal University. Kentucky University made him a Doctor of Laws. Though never matriculating as a regular student, Dr. Ament has been an independent student of University Administration at the seats of several of our noted universities. For this purpose, he lived a year at Ann Arbor. Dr. Ament ' s teaching career began in 1882, at which time he became a teacher in the public schools of Illinois. In 1802, he was chosen superintendent of schools of Carroll, Iowa. He left this position in 1895 to become Superintend- ent of the City Schools of Rock Island, Illinois, the last position he held in public school work. In 1897, he ' became the first president of the Northwestern State Normal School at Alva. Oklahoma. In 1904 he iiecame president of the State Normal School at Warrensburg, lissouri, continuing there until 1906, when he took up his work as principal of Indiana State Normal School. In all the positions he has held, large growth has come to the .school, and hi.s admini.stration is always remembered as one of great prosperity. During his work as an educator, he has contributed many articles, based on educational problems, which are of great value. Dr. Anient is also a member of the National Educational Association. ■ss- TITE INSTANO 1912 THE INSTANO BOARD E(}ili r-ni-thi I ' AuTiiiR M. Sti;ll liusi)ie.is Manager - Charles J.

I do not care where the work is, the man or woman who does work worth doing is the man or woman who lives, breathes, and sleeps that work; with whom it is ever present in his or her soul; whose ambition it is to do it well and feel rewarded by the thought of having done it well. That man, that woman, puts the whole country under an obligation. JSNS. mi ARMET CL ( H 12 THE INSTANO 1912 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Representing the Stockholders Gen. Harry White, A. B., Esq.

MARGARET H. ALLEN PITTSBURGH Y. W. C. A. Treasurer of Y. W. C. A. An excellent example of still water runs deep. Her favorite yell, which sometimes in- trudes into her laugh, is Wah-Hoo. probably because she comes from Allegheny High. About nine o ' eolck each night she can be seen peeking out the diiiii-. singing the Letter song. Of all occupalio.is, her most us ial one is hurrying through the hall to .Mack ' s table, (?).. Could Margaret ex])ress her opinion of her duty toward time, it woukl run somi ' thing like this What ' s time? Leave Now for dogs and apes. I have Forever. She is very fond of IMother Goose rhymes, espeeiall.v when she pulls out a plum, become a jireachcr ' s wife, but whether she ever or rule supreme in some village school, rest.s JEANETTE ALLISON HICKORY Why so (piict . ' Who. you sa.v ? Why Jean- ette, of course. Among our many classmates there is one who is especially quiet and studious. She is jdua s in an attentive attitude, and when she is called u|)on. no o:ic rcs|)onds with more activity. .Nil one is in the I ' unning with her, will n it comes to displaying dignit.v. Did yon ask about her boy friend ' . ' What a foolish idea, to associate her name with that of a bo.v, for she intends to remain single. Her ideals are to im- prove the land by her teaching. As a student in History and Jlethods she has few peers, and if you should happen to fiiul her name among the list of noted educator.s, in a few years, do not be surprised. 48 THE TNSTANO 1912 CLARA M. ANDERSON PITTSBURGH Sissir Associate Editor INSTANO: Y. W. C. A. Much ado about nothing. She has always flunked ( ?) every review, yet comes out at the head. (Strange, don ' t you think?) She is a great vegetarian, even preferring eggs to candy. The only fault she has to find with eats in gen- eral, is that they are too nourishing. Clara is al- ways talking about some sort of a State, but never enlightens us as to whose or what state it is. The only thing we know about it is that each Monday she receives a letter, once and only once, and from one only. ELEANOR L BAILEY TITUSVILLE Y. W. C. A. This bright, dark-eyed maid hails from the far-famed towTi of Titusville. She is a full sis- ter of Peek ' s bad boy, and can outshine that youngster in mischief any hour of the day or night. She really has tried to reform since she came to Indiana, but ahus, it is a hopeless task. Some of her favorite expressions arc, Call me early, and I refuse. The latter is generally accompanied by a stamp of the foot which can be heard very plainly at least four floors below. When anyone speaks of colors, Eleanor is at once attracted to the spot and tempted to voice hci sists that she prefers green, especially Ked Green. opinion. She invariably 49 THE INSTANO 1912 iTte MARGARET L. BAILEY GREENSBURG Peg Assistant Editor SOPHIST; Erodelphian. Peg is one of oar literary stars, and a,s assist- ant editor of the Sophist, she has shown the ma- terial of which she is made. She is quite enthu- siastic, and whatever she undertakes is sure of being well done. Her pet aversion is too much work, and her hobbies are eating peanuts and re- citing poetry. She usually announces her arrival by, Oh say. kids, and she always has some- thing new and exciting to talk about. Although she is no go.ssip, it is certainly true of her that, Age cannot wither her, uor customs stale her infinite variety. MYRTLE M. BALMER CROSSCREEK Y. W. C. A. When Myrtle came to us, she was one of the most reticent girls of the class. This has gradu- ally worn away, so that by this time we are able to see her as she really is. That is to say, we know her to be a lively, cheerful and jolly young- ster. She is not one of those who find pleasure in classes only, yet one will always find her an industrious student. We have already decided from her description of the place, that Cross- creek is quite an important place, although we have not been able to find it on the map. At any rate, it was quite a place when it turned Myrtle over to our care. 50 Cdk g , THE TNSTANO 1912 MARIE S. BEILSTEIN VANDERGRIFT Y. W. C. A.; Huyghenian No, this girl, wlio is so fond of France has never seen the sight of gay Paris, although last September gay Paris came to her. Study, study, all the time is her motto, and any time yon walk in at the open door (and that is a Mystery) you can find her reclining on the couch devour- ing a book. No talking in her room about senti- ment and futures. She is a devout member of the Mission Studv, you know. JANET B. BEMIS WEST MIDDLETOWN Jerry Our meek friend from West Middletown, the grandest place in the whole world, has one very admirable quality, this is her loyalty. Although we have mentioned this first, do not think it is her greatest acquirement. She is a singer of no mean ability, as well as a baker. If she continues to improve in the music line, she will, without doubt, become famous, for she has a voice like a nightingale. There is no room for improvement, however, when it comes to baking bread. 51 THE INSTANO 1912 Tlm MARY BERT HOBOKEN •Polly Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A.; Girl ' s Basketball Team A noljle mind the best cimtentment has. Polly is a dear, gracious, little saul, warm heart- ed and loyal. We always asaoclate her with good times, laughter and merriment. She has always a new fad and has created great astonish- ment among her friends by sticking to basketball for two .seasons. She takes up each new fad with ■rreat enthusiasm. l)ut has never yet displayed that ()uality of ardor on the way to Recitation Hall. MARGARET BERT HOBOKEN Peg Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. None knew her but to love her. Peggy is the person to whom we always confide our littk trials and in whom we are always sure of a sym- pathetic listener. She is not at all sentimental, but spends most of her valuable time in compos- ing verses and we predict a success near to that of Shakespeare. To .iudge her poetic ability one needs only to turn to the Class Poem. Margaret is one of the most conscientious students in the class, and a girl who perseveres as she does, cannot fail to be successful in practically any undertaking. 52 r igEJUj THE INSTANO 1912 OLIVE BLANCHARD PITTSBURGH Dibby Associate Editor INSTANO; Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. None but herself can be her paraUel. There is an old proverb which says, Good goods ore put up in small packages. We ' ll guarantee this statement, for here we have a fair sample. She is a friend to everybody, and her bright smile is a welcome gift to those fortunate ones on whom it is cast. Dibby speaks French and Latin and noth- ing puzzles her in Gennan. not even Mr. Bow- man. If anyone dares to look at her while she Ls reading she is up in arms at once, and watches over books as a lioness does her cubs. HELEN M. BRENNAN RANKIN Huyghenian A pie! a pie! ] Iy kingdom for an apple pie! Helen M. Brennan, a really lovely girl, has one all-absorbing passion, and that is an inde- fatigable appetite for apple pie. Next in the rank of her afifections comes her love for dancing and all forms of athletics. Most lovers of out- door sports are .slovenly and rather happy-go- lucky, but not so with her. She is very precise and neat. — a great virtue considered in an ethical sense. But only her good qualities have been cited here; she has some failings. The most pro- nounced of these are her horror of mice, and the fear that she will some day marry a small man. She also has a great tendency to sputter about in French to room-mates who know nothing but German. Summing up all her qualities, both good and bad, it must be decided that the good ones carry down the scales, and the general opinion that Helen is a pretty good old scout, after all must be accepted. 53 THE INSTANO 1912 j fe a JUL M ais iii « agjfc i 1 MARION L. BROWN PITTSBURGH Susie Y. W. C. A. ' Tis ]Marion Brown and not Mary Ann nor Marian, though people persist in calling her both. Although she is so small that she can scarcely be seen, yet dieting has become her hobby. Keep it up, Marion, and we predict that a few years hence you will be occupying your place among the other shining lights. She hails from good old Al- legheny High, wliere she is remembered as being a lirilliant jiupil, and a good sort in every way. Her record has not been marred so far, and many a wi.se person has predicted a great future for Susie. JENNIE M. BROWN PITCAIRN Y. W. C. A. Here she comes! The girl all of us want to hear about. No, she is not very big, but that never counts. She is of a very cheerful disposition, and enjoys herself wherever she goes. Her favorite saying is Tee ! Hee ! She is an active member of of the 0. K. O.. a very well-knowii society, and as a result we should feel honored by her company. Her one main desire in life is to find out every- thing about German, and in the future we will pick up the newspapers and read — Praulein Brown die beruhmte deutsche Lehrerin. 54 THE INSTANO 1912 HELEN M. BROWNLEE A K MARTINS FERRY, OHIO Asst. Business Manager INSTANO: Erodelphian Y. W. C. A. Some eyes may sparkle, some may dance. Some may charm you, but Helen ' s entrance. Helen is one of these girls who make friends wherever they go. Whether this is due to these entrancing eyes, spoken of before, or to some oth- er quality, we do not know. We do know, how- ever, that she Ls a jolly good girl, and that she is quite popular. As a student, also, she is no slouch, and there is sure to be some mistake if by any chance she happens to be reported. It has been said that a person who possesses brown eyes can- not keep a secret. This does not hold good in this instance, for Helen can imitate a clam to perfection. BERTHA BRUMBAUGH ALTOONA Y. W. C. A. Bertha is a modest girl, who takes special de- light in wearing a blue dress piped with red. She is very fond of singing, and keeps us from becom- ing afraid by singing her favorite hymn, Don ' t be afraid for I ' ll Protect you. She is quite in- offensive, and has never been known to partici- pate in quarrels of any nature, not even with a teacher over an unprepared lesson. Of course, she does not know the meaning of an unprepared lesson, but even if she did, she would not waste time by arguing about it. Of her it may be said : A girl with an ideal purpose. And a mighty end in view. 55 THE INSTANO 1912 EDITH BUCHANAN A K cj, INDIANA It is generally coneeded that everyone has many faults, and of these, one fault is always predaminant. The greatest fault we can find with Edith, however, is that she has so few. She is always quiet and unas-suming when in the pub- lie view, but behind the scenes, she is somewhat different. There is no one who is quite so anx- ious to raise the roof of Sutton Hall by laughing and holwing. and no one as glad as she when rough-house is begun. In spite of this unpardon- able fiiult, bnwevcr. .she is liked by everyone. RUTH BUCHANAN PITTSBURGH Butch Huyghenian; Y. W. C. A. Butcli aJway.s has a smile for everyone, even for Shai-kry. The man who said that portliness, health and good nature are companions, was cer- tainly a genius. If he were present, he might take Butch as a real live example of his the- ory. Never put out about anything, always cheerful and talkative, she is sunshine personi- fied. The greatest mystery connected with Ruth is the ease with which she passes her studies. No one would think of calling her a liluff, but some cannot quite understand how she does it. An ex- planation will soon have to be made, I fear. 56 THE IXSTAXO 1912 MARTHA BUTLER ALTOONA Martha is a light-haired girl who tliinks nf little else than work. From early morning until late in the evening she spends her time in adding to her pi ' esent store of knowledge. In fact, she spends so mueh time in her work that her friends have begun to worry about her. They have been able to find but one cure for her, and that is to show her something worth eating. If good eats are in sight, liooks are at once forgotten, and she is given up to the enjoyment of the feed. In a few year.s. all of the now difficult subjects will have been mastered, and she will no doubt be enn.sidered as one of the the teaching depart:iient. ' finds HELEN CAMPBELL a INDIANA Pete Man delights not me. Any time between eight and eight-thirty you will see Pete mean- dering towards Recitation Hall for her eight o ' clock class. For .she Ls a firm believer in the say- ing, Better late than never. She possesses a pleasing personality, and greets all whom she meets WMth a smile. Her latest work is a revision of the dictionary. — an example of which was given in French cla.ss when she presented the new- word weemen. Her only worry lies in her fail- ure to relieve her apparent thinness. Her favorite sport is hor.se-back riding, which makes her the envy of many a poor little, stay at the Normal. 57 THE INSTANO 1912 . TTBuH ZILMA MARIE CONKLE A K CORAOPOLIS Imp,, Imp comes from a little settlement near Pittsburgh, called Coraopolis. When you think of Jnip you never associate her with Evange- line. Priseilla, Maude MuUer, or any of gentle feminine train. On the contrary, you think of galloping horses, dashing waters, and runaway express trains. You think of a real live, magnetic American girl, who could catch a wild horse, sub- due an incorrigible boy, or paddle a canoe. No l)()ring over books for her. You will find her quite alive at all times. VIOLA ELLA CONNELLY WARREN Pronounced Colony in Latin. Miss Con- nelly hails from North Warren. She is a student with a life of ea.se, only nine subjects in eight periods. Her only question — not Once and onlv once, and for one only, but each and every time and for everybody — is Will she k ' A me? (Referring to some austere member of the Faculty who requires some piece of work which Viola has only partly prepared.) When- ever you see her on North Walk you know she is either going to or from ; Iodel School. for her heart is surely in the work there. If her mind can be diverted from her school work she is found to be a very jolly girl, and is liked by all who know her. 58 THE INSTANO 1912 ALICE COOK NEW ALEXANDRIA Y. W. C. A. Although it seems to be every girl ' s wish, Alice considers it ciuite a misfortune that she has been blessed with tlunne.s.s. Our Cook has a very sweet disposition, until she is teased, and then she displays, much to our fear, her great physical strength. We feel safe in predicting a prosper- ous future for Alice as she is showing great abil- ity as a teacher in the Model School. Being our lady of leisure, Alice, in her last term at Indi- ana, is planning to take the domestic science course. I wonder why? MAY COX MILLVALE Y. W. C. A.

Ever since her arrival at Normal, Hay has lived in Old Main. How the rising bells please her, — becaiLse she seldom hears them. At the ringing of those bells May is far awa.y in dear O ' ld Pitts- burgh. ' ' She outshines all her classmates in Ger- man so much that they fear to recite in her pres- ence.

A.: Joke Editor of SOPHIST Some people have called Grace queer, others have called her a dear ; but it makes no difference what we call her so long as we do not call her for In-eakfast. Just think, she saves a meal a day for our institution! Such economy is unheard of in these days. But, if we should have cream puffs for this early meal, (irace would rival ' Sir. Gor- don in her haste to reach the dining-room. There is one dark mystery about Grace. This is her fondness for dancing. It is feared she will be waltzing down to class in a short time; she runs now. Sort of. like, you know, have you ever heard it? Well, that is Grace ' s pi ' t expression. She airs it on every occasion. MARY B. CRAIG AVELLA Y. W. C.

She has given many a S ' BI ' earned discourse -on the suljjects of ' ' transients. ' ' Wc all stand back and listen to her in awe. If pcojjle have the blues and want cheering up, they go to Mary and she drives them ( ?) away. Ask her where she leariu d to laugh, and why she spends so much time in front of the mirror curling her hair. Her greatest accomplishment lies in the art of drawing, however, even though she does like Geometry. 60 niE INSTANO i;)12 ■g m i w j g b GERTRUDE GROSSMAN INDIANA Gert We don ' t see much of Gertjor as soon as tlie class bell rings, she is the first out of the door, and the last to appear the next morning. What she does all this time is hard to tell, for her les- sons certainly do not tell anything about the way she spends her time. She always appears at th dances though, which gives us a little idea of her inclinations. She is a small, dark-haired girl, and very fair to look upon. One would not im- agine she would shirk her lessons, for s ' he is no coward when it comes to hitting the cement walks. JEAN DAVIS EBENSBURG Y. W. C. A. Jean is one of the most studious little bodies that was ever shipped to Normal via. the ] Ioun- tain Goat. She is very proud of Ebensburg, and takes all slams very good-naturedly. She is always prompt and attentive, and it is due to this in no small degree, that her success is such as it is. She has a happy-go-lucky nature and a remarkable genius for getting smoothly out of scrapes. One of her favorite amusements is springing jokes upon her friends, an achievement in which she has attained great success. Her sole fault is to do things at the wrong time, for instance, to visit dur and to talk in her sleep. ing stud - hour. 61 THE INSTANO 1912 ■ y ifc ia MAGDALENE L. DAVIS EBENSBURG Muggsy .MaKilalene Davis, one of the well-known girls of this illustrious class, is very quiet ; but should you wish to know how you look in your newest hat or best gown, she will be very candid in giv- ing you her opinion ; if you should happen to go into lagdalene ' s room, the first thing yon would hear her .say is, Heavenly Pete, that doesn ' t match. Otherwise she is fa iltless. She has a very hospitable nature, for she has gone so far as to allow six girls to quarter in her room in one night. Seeming busier than she is, is one of her chief characteristics. Her highest ambition in life is to be able to cook over a gas jet. SEBA F. DAVIS INDIANA Cal Seba, or Cal for .short, joined our ranks in our junior year. From the first she impressed us as an all-around girl, for she is brilliant — but not 1 grind — and i.s a veritable personification of good fellowship. In her cla.ss room she i.s quite a star, and especiall.y in English does her light shine far. for writing essays is her delight. Her most striking characteristic is her reserve, and .young men come into her presence with fear and tremb- ling. She is preparing to teach, but is naturall.v titled to be mistress of a house where she can cook, bake, sew, and have all the responsibility of a home. 62 THE INSTANO 1912 rgra KATHERINE M. DOWLING JOHNSTOWN Kitty Kitty, or Kit, whichever you ihink seems to fit, hails from the Flood City, and we surely are glad she wasn ' t washed away. She is always bright and helps many of us to see the happy side of life. ] Iost of her time is devoted to French, though we hear she intends taking dome.stic sci- ence. Kit is very fond of fruit and in particular the ' ' Lemon. ' ' However, she prefers the ' ' Dull ' ' variety. RUTH E. DUFF WILKINSBURG Y. W. C. A. Everyone knows how studious Ruth is. but of all her studies, English and Spelling are her fa- vorites. Every spare minute is spent either in pouring over her Rhetoric or withthe dictionary propped up before her. Of course, her composi- tions and plans show the result of such effort. In Ruth ' s eyes a mis-spelled word is a disgrace. and a comma omitted, a crime. Ask Ruth if she bows or boughs her head in Chapel. I wonder if she will be glad when she is through Normule. Talking is often said to be wo- man ' s chief accomplishment. She should indeed be very accomplished for not only does she talk to other people, but she even persists in talking to feet. Keep it up.

Or, perhaps, in another respect ; both simply loved to go to church. Dorothy took a great interest in her ; Iodel School Work, especially in the children. During a medical examination, one day, she in- ipiired, When do they look in the youngsters for adenoids? Her last words at night are al- ways. Oh, I ' ll get xxp early in the morning to study. Usually the alarm fails to go off. Gl ler THE TNSTANO 1DT2 FLORENCE M. ENGLAND WILKINSBURG Flo Here is our friend Floreiiee England, who is sometimes called Miss Ireland. She is an excel- lent Knocker, and can even stand lots of knocks (Knox) herself. Her favorite stud.v is Physics, and we often tind her pondering over her Phys- ics lanual to see if she can satisfy herself about those troublesome jiroblems. She is happy and good natured, and does not worry nuich al)out anything. How often we have hi ' ard her say, Oh, what ' s the use? SARA C. EVANS A PUNXSUTAWNEY Sara Maud ' ' Little, but oh m - ! In the ' oil m.v ' may be classed many qualities characteristic of this little Mi.ss. but chief among them is the ability to pro- duce music from anything, even the piano in Ero- delphian Hall. The exclamations which one hears when Sara enters Rec Hall show that this fact is well known. It is customary to men- tion the stock phrase of the individual, but in her case we can only say We ' ve quit. Sara Jlaud. like every other graduate, expects lo teach, and we wish her success, for she is one of the class of 1912 who will always be remmebered and ever missed. 65 ■ssr THE INSTANO 1912 r j eellent teacher ; MYRTLE M. EVEREST n K 2 WILKINSBURG Moit, Mo Associate Editor INSTANO; Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. Myrtle hails from the Holy City. but her friends have not noticed any signs of wings. She is (juite a student, and does not hesitate an in- stant in enlightening any member of the faculty who is uncertain about the correctness of a state- ment. She can translate German with a speea that makes everyone hold their breath. Judging from the remarlcs of several students at Model, she is about the only teacher who ever tdok I ' harge of a class there. In ' return Jlyrtle gives them her best work, and is often heard to say, ■ ' Oh, for goodness sake, don ' t let me forget to wash the boards.

This light-haired, blue-eyed lassie came to ns from the city (?) of Clairton. She is blessed with the gift of conversation and we are always ready to listen, although she does talk a great deal about Vic ' s burg. In disposition she is generous and obliging, always ready to lend a helping hand. Her chief accomplishment is shown in Geology class. Here she never tires of showing how well it is po.ssible for a normal girl to prepare a lesson. Edna has proved faithful and industri- ous in all her work and we wish her good luck in whatever she may undertake. 66 i L- igS5ii% THE TNSTANO 1912 y Tp DOROTHY FARRAR BURGETTSTOWN Y. W. C. A. Tlii.s dark-eyed lady named Farrar, blew into this institution Spring Term of nineteen ten. Her passwords are, Is it true, or Can it really be? When one enters her room, she finds her poring over a test-book on Lit. She is a fiend when it comes to committing quotations, for she is never satisfied until she devours every word. Thus far no one has been aJb ' le to find a remedy for this mania. It is hoped that she will soon see the follv of such action and reform. SARAH FINKLE PITTSBURGH Huyghenian Miss Pinkie comes to us from the Smoky City. She is a tall, graceful girl, with propen- sities for mischief. She Ls very fond of French, and is said to have even acquired the French ges- tures. Sarah is very brave, and takes an active part in the defense of Davis Cottage, otherwise known as Mt. Vesuvius, from the frequency of its eruptions. She is a great lover of sandwiches and olives, and Sharkey ' s heaviest sales come from the residence of this Finkle girl. vir ' -iv---- v:-T ' ' ' ;:tst ! : ' C ' i i  i i 67 THE INSTANO 1912 -a iSfa TERESA FITZGERALD CORAL In Virginia, one autumn day, a number of years (?) ago, Teresa Fitzgerald took root and sprung up. She has since been transplanted in many different places, but finally landed in Nor- mal, where she has developed into one of our most sfudioiis seniors. One of her chief amnso- f, ments is singing her favorite song, When John- _ nie Comes Marching Home. She has a kind dis- i position, and is never happier than when she is making others happy ; that is the reason why she has spent so much of her time in sleigh-riding mm H milll Hils winter. She is now eagerly looking forward to next year when she will be teaching her own school, and in that owing to her ambitious and determined nature, we are sure she wuU succeed. ADALINE GALER INDIANA Adaline, a most unassuming creature, has shown to the class that in order to be successful in one ' s work it is not necessary lo make a big fuss over any matter. An unprepared lesson is, according to her idea, a most unpardonable of- fense. She has often remarked of the way in which she will punish those unfortunates who try to bluff her in the years to come. If Chaucer had seen her before he wrote his Prologue, he would have taken her for an example in writing, For first he wrought, and afterward he taught. 68 gg a THE INSTANO 1912 - mmm RUTH GALER INDIANA Ruth is a tall, dark-haired girl, with a mighty purpose to accomplish, that is, to become mistress of a magnificent rural .school. You are making a mistake, for if you should take our advice, and follow science, you would soon be chief of a gov- ernment observatory. We base this on her knowl- edge, superficial or i)ther vi.se, of the subject of Physics. In regard to her characteri.stics, she is a girl with many friends, in spite of the fact that she is very well fitted to take her own part. RUTH A. GALLAGHER PITTSBURGH Rufus There lie.s a deal of deviltry beneath her mild exterior. Ruth is a girl who is in for everything, and to hear her merry laugh signi- fies that somethin ' .s doin ' . She is fond of school, but sometimes prefers sleep to classes. Somehow or other she takes especial interest in laboratory work. We predict a very bright fu- ture for Ruth, but not along the teaching line, for we do not expect her to teach longer than the law requires for Normal graduates. (i!) THE INSTANO 1912 EDNA C.

Judging from her picture you might think Ed a very demure little maiden, but when you stroke her the wrong way — watch out ! One angry glance from those black eyes is with- ering. Our Ed is (juite an authority on for- eign affairs, especially Cuba, and her favorite jiastime is to give lengthy ex|)lanations of her collection of snapshots of that island to all who enter her room. But w-e think her interest in Cuba will .soon wane for Chad is coming home. CHESTER M. GAYLEY a INDIANA Chet, Chuck Associate Editor INSTANO; Lincoln Debating Club, Ero- delphian; Varsity Football: Varsity Beiseball; Varsity Track: Debater in Inter-Society Debate; Con- testant in Inter-Society Contest. Chet came to Normal just a short time after the Ark grounded and has been here most of the time since. It has been his chief aim to win an I in every branch of sport in school and he has succeeded in every one except in girls ' basketball. He says he may come back next year and try for that. Besides being some athlete Chet is also a star debater. Chet is a hard worker, as he always succeeds in getting on all the class committees. He must have a push or pull around here some place. 70 ROSS F. GETTY fi X INDIANA Assistant Business Manager INSTANO Vice President Senior Class Lincoln Debating Club Huyghenian Ross joined the class in the fall of 1911, cora- iug from Indiana High. He has always been one of the studious boys of the class and his favorite study is Methods or Home Geography. Getty is a regular attendant at Sunday School and is very much opposed to vulgarity. His very worst cuss word is darn, which he uses with much force, but only after the greatest provocation. He is an awful fusser and during vacation receives heavy mail from Pittsburgh. RUTH ANNA GETTY A K CORAOPOLIS 1% Tlii.s (juiet, dignified, but sweet creature, calls Coraopolis her home, although she is really a country lass. Her home is located upon a high hill overlooking the Ohio, ten miles below Pitts- burgh. This was her only year at Indiana, hav- ing passed the Junior-Middler exams in June, 1911, and having entered as a Senior of 1912 in the Regular Course. She is somewhat of a student and devotes most of her time to her favorite ( ?) subject Literature. She is quite fond of dancing — fancy dancing especially — and is never self- conscious when going through her stunts. She is one of thase meek and demure maidens who says little, but thinks much. However, with all her peculiarly peculiar peculiarities we love her still. 71 MARTHA T. GILCHRIST INDIANA Huyghenian Till ' lu ' ighth of tliis child ' s iuubitioii is to walk across a room gracefully and her chief worry is that she may be despised and rejected of men. We all have been the cause for many a witty re- mark from her too clever tongue. No wonder she con.siders our jokes insipid and our remarks inane. Our Martha will some day write a great book (Gilchrist ' s Arithmetic) and then all who come hereafter will have one less cause for flunks, as her rule is so simjile a child can u.se it; viz.. multiply by the first two and divide by the la.st. If that won ' t bring it. I can ' t do it. Thus her name will become immortal. AGNES GILFILLAN CARNEGIE Huyghenian Agnes strolled in from the Smoky City and certainly has done her native city credit. ; Ii .st things worry Agnes quite a bit. but she gen- erally finds that every cloud has a silver lin- ing. Oh. how she would like to l)e thin ! Despite her wish to be tall and slender, she remains short and plump, thus agreeing with Browning that, all that is, at all, lasts ever past recall. Now Agne.s makes quite a pet of her temper at times and her black eyes spit fire when once she is aroused, but on the whole, she is a very dear girl and is a direct contradiction to the saying that nobody loves a fat man. She loves the farm, and we hope to see her set up her abode in the country in the sweet bye and bye and are ready to accept an invitation to visit her rural home at an ' time. ri THE INSTANO 1912 SARA ALICE GILFILLAN EAST BROOK Sallie Y. W. C. A. Alice, from Lawrence County, came to us with plenty of knowledge of the elementary school branches, and a sharp tona;ue. Her favor- ite pastime is composing conundrums. She dearly loves to catch you on them, but, th ! the look of dejection and the funny, low tittering giggle when you turn the tables. Her favorite amuse- ment is attending matinees. In order to work off the excitement when she returns she takes up her knitting. One of her accomplishments is to thrill her roommate and her neighbors with her won- derful voice. AVhy, even ber laugh is musical. HELEN E. GOLDEN PITTSBURGH An auburn blonde from a busy suburb. Helen is developing into a rather positive, out-spoken young miss, and possesses a clear knowledge of what she wants to say. Will probably give her- self up to teaching and think she has made a sac- rifice. She is a girl who is always hurrying to Model as if she lived for nothing but that one period. Helen is always gazing towards the set- ting sun with a wistful look in her eyes and we feel sure she will be migrating westward soon after she graduates. 73 THE INSTANO 1912 0=: 1iG brilliant intellectuality, she DELLA GOUGH KITTANNING ' •Dell ' Huyghenian; Y.

PEARL GWYER PITTSBURGH This dark haired girl from the Smoky City first came into prominence at the Senior Ilayride, and has remained in the public eye ever since. Tall, stately and dignified, she makes a favorable impression wherever she goes. She is a close second to Sara Finkle in taking care of Mt. Vesuvius. When her course in Normal is done she will join the ranks of the unfortunates who will instruct the coming generations. 74 THE INSTANO 1912 if- i r- JUL ■4 ?;iV: ' eT HAZEL M.GOULD A K CLINTON Dick Y. W. C. A. Hazel attended high school at Imperial, l)ut that failed to satisfy her ambitions, so she came to Normal. One thing for which many of us are glad is that she is so cheerful that she makes a hit wherever she goes. She spends a great portion of her time in matters of correspondence, hut it must not be thought that she does nothing but write ,for she is really a studious girl, and stands out as one of the lights of the class of 1912. It is not necessary to take a vote to determine whether or not she is popular, for it is conceded by everyone. FRANCES W. GRABLE n k S MANOR Sis, Frank Associate Editor INSTANO; Girls ' Basketball Team; Tennis Team; Y. W. C. A. When Sis came to Indlfnia no one thought there were any belLs on her. but then you know we are living in an age of advancement. She has risen step by step, luitil she has become one of the best all around girls in the school. In tennis there are few who surpass her, in basketball there are none. The only drawback to her success is that .she is not acquainted with city life, but she is fast overcoming that and promises after these many years of sad experiences and disappoint- ments, to become well versed in matters of im- portance. We suspect that in a few years she will consider herself a well experienced person. THE ixs;taxo 1912 ■s fe- ETHEL GRAHAM BUTLER Ep Assistant Editor INSTANO If she will, she will; aud there ' s an end of il. Ethel, one of the natives of Butler, broke all r ' eeords in seliolar.ship in high school, and she is still keeping up the pace at Normal. She de- lights in outdoor sports, especially tennis, and is always in for a good time. ' If I were any earlier, I ' d be too early, may often be heard ringing through the halls. After she has taught two years, it is her intention to go through college. As for the two year.s. she would like to have a school in Pittsburgh, and I don ' t suppose au} ' of us have any ob,iection to it. ETHEL VV. GRAY MANOR Kitty Tennis Team; Y. W. C. A. If you don ' t believe the saying that it is a woman ' s privilege to change her mind, you sure- ly will after you meet Ethel, for she is one who will say one thing at ten o ' clock, and at ten one will think the direct opposite. Her title to the tennis championship of Indiana is uncpiestion- able. aud her chief amusement is winning tennis cups. Her one occupation is wiggling out of scrapes through the nearest door via. the phrase. Well kids. I ' m iust not woing ro worrv about it. 76 KATHARINE HABERLEN LATROBE Kate Listen! Wliat is that roisi ' ? Oh that is only Kate singing to hei ' friends. As a usual thing, however, she enjoys entertaining much more than the friends enjoy being entertained. That fault is easily overcome by her studious nature. She has never been known to waste a study period, or to lose an opportunity to solve an Arithmetic problem. Indiana will always be proud of Kath- arine, and if she makes teaching her life work, she will surely succeed. MARTHA E. HACKMAN HARMONY Y. W. C. A. A face with gladness over.spread ! Soft smiles by hiiman kindness bred 1 So might we characterize Martha, who always wears a smile, even in examination time. Martha is a very loyal member of the elas,s of ' 12, and shows her s[)irit by entering enthusia.stieally into all the doings of the class, whether they be sleigh rides or color rushes. She is quite fond of studying, too, and takes special delight (?) in .such subjects as Lat- in. Besides being a student, IMartha has solved the mysteries of housekeeping, and occasionally is heard to give valuable instruction.s in this art. THE TNSTANO 1912 y ■  EDITH HANCOX TITUSVILLE Ted Y. W. C. A. This very modest young lady is trying her best to give the outside world an opinion of ex- treme dignity. Whether she succeeds or not is one of the problems of the day. but, be it said, this affectation of dignity is merely an assumed role which requires strenuous effort on her part. She seems to be especially fond of the davenport in the Reading Room, also of attending lectures in the evening. It is a question among those who know her which she likes best — pie or candy. Does Ted like warm weather? Well, at any riite, she seems to take great pleasure in studying the warmer countries. PERCY C. HARTZELL WELTY (Passy) ' Huyghenian; Y. M. C. A. This young man came to us in the Spring Term of 1911 from Franklin and ] Iarshall Acad- emy. He is quite a sprinter and expects to better the school record before long. He spends most of his time at his studies and reading poetry. Pas- sy believes in his new motto, Late to bed and early to rise. He sets the alarm in a conveni- ent place where he can turn off the gong, and then turns over for a few more hours ' sleep. But with all his faults he is a mighty good fellow, full of energy, and always ready to do the right thing by a friend. In more ways than one Passy gives promise of a successful career. 78 - THE INSTANO 1912 j srj i AURELIA K. HARVEY ROCHESTER Brownie Erodelphian I know a maiden fair to see; take care.

ZELLA M. HASTIE CABOT Zella entered as a Junior iliddler, Fall te? n of 1910. She is a very good student, especially in ] Iathematics and Physics; but do not think that Zella ha.s attained her good marks by not working, for many a night did she burn the mid- night oil writi]ig plan.s or reading Browning. In the Winter term of her Senior year, she found she had timi ' to train her voice, and who .shall say that Zella may not shine as a Star Singer in the future. Her many friends predict that she will do great credit to Indiana. 79 Her favorite study is French, and her nickname is ] Iutt. ZELLA J. HECKERT PITTSBURGH •Zell Huygheeian In the fall (if 1!)0I) we welcomed into our midst a shy little person whose name was Zella Ileekert. From her earliest recollection she nevei had to fear that there would be a short nerve- racking pause before her name was read among the clear records, because they are so used to readinir it they don ' t have to pause, unless it is in snrprise at its frequent recurrence. Zella ' s one trial is her size, but never mind, Zella, we predict that you will grow some yet. Although she is inclined to be a suflfragette, we certify that several suspicions looking boxes of candy have arrived at various times from the Smoky City, her favirite expression is Jimminy Christmas, ETHEL K. HENDERSON AVENMORE ••Ex Huyghenian; Y. W. C. A. Ex first saw the light of day in Elders- ridge, far up in the mountains. She ha? moved from place to place until finally she has headed up in Normal. I don ' t suppose she regrtts it, and if others do, they keep it to themselves. She is seldom seen in Rec Hall and when she should be there, she can generally be found in her room plugging away at Physics. She is quite pojrilar, and if she can show enougli ivill power to turn down all attentions, a bright future is in store for her. 80 MARY M. HIMLER GREENSBURG Dutch Y. W. C. A. In the fall of 1910 there came to Imliana, a new student by the name of Mary llimler. Mary showed quite a fondness for art, and soon al ' ter her arrival entered that course. Hhe conipletiHl this course and in the Fall of 1011 ret:irned t;) coniplete the regular course, Init no sooner had she arrived than we learned Mary was develop- ing a new talent, which proved to be elocution. Of course we were not surprised because w) re- lized that she possessed a wonderful voice. OE course, we expect, some day, to read an an- ■ ■■ H nouncement like this: Miss Jlary Himler will appear in Pittsburg as reader with the Famous New York Concert Company. JENNIE M. HODGSON TURTLE CREEK Y. W. C. A. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. That is Jennie ' s motto. Says she, When nine o ' clock comes, I feel dreadfully tired, then why shouldn ' t I go to bed and get uj) at four-thirty to do my lessons. ' The only trouble is that she has a next door neighbor whose reasoning is just the opposite of hers. This neighbor believes in getting all of her lessons before going to l)ed and then getting up late. Alack, at four-thirt.v she is ' roused frtmi her gentle slumbers by the clang of Jennie ' s alarm. In answer to her ejaculations Jennie tells her that if everyone thought the same, the world would stop progressing. We agree. On those creatures present, has no time to waste. School days are not eoui the end of caeli month we find her name on thi ' clear known as men she, at ting davs, and thus at list. SI THE INST AND 1912 RUTH HORNBAKE PITTSBURGH Trot An aiiburn-haired girl who is in for a good time any time, or all the time. Iii classes you will always find her right on the job, although she did have some time in writing a successor ' s jilan for her Jlodel School work. She was a general favorite among the pupils there, but her popular- ity was not confined to them alone. She takes the proper spirit necessary for success with her wherever she goes, and it is due to this tliat she is so prominent. NELLE T. HOUSTON BLACKLICK Y. W. C. A. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. How well this applies to her name, no one wdio has never seen her could imagine. She is so quiet, neat, and dignified, that it is no wonder students ask whether she is the new member of the fac- ulty, lu fact she is so retiring that very few of her schoolmates know her well. She is always on duty in all of her classes, and seldoin fails to respond for a ' ' ten. ' ' 82 w  asi THE TNSTANO 191 2 MARGARET B. HOWLAND ALTOONA Y. W. C. A. A daughter of the gods, divinely tall, and most divinely fair. Margaret is a graduate of Juniata High School, (a suburb of Altoona). She says she has done everything except teach school and get married. To the former proposi- tion we quote her favorite phrase, Oh, what ' s the use; to the latter, It won ' t be long. She came to I. S. N. S. for the purpose of increas- ing her education in Domestic Science, and if you don ' t believe she has improved wonderfully, just try one of her ground onion sandwiches. Just one ! ■ ELIZABETH JAMES BRADDOCK Betty Huyghenlan; Y. W. C. A. Betty is one of the smallest members of our class, but not the least in importance by a great deal. There is no larger member who has as large a smile, and who has it so handy. She even wears it when she is being criticised bv the teach- er, but no, that is a mistake, for she is very sel- dom criticised. We are pretty sure that Betty will be quite successful after she has left the bunch and their temptations. S3 THE INSTANO 1912 - ij :i  im ALICE E.

She delights in all subjects involving Mathemat- ics, and expects to take a special course in i Iath next winter at the University of Pittsburgh. Her favorite subject is Physics, but .she says she doesn ' t understand mirrors very well. This seems rather strange, iis she is always so neat and trim that one would imagine she saw a mirror at least once a day. Her hobby is being on time, and her favorite expression, That makes me tired. MINNIE JONES MUNHALL Y. W. C. A. After graduating from her high school, Min- nie decided to become more polished by a course in Normal. We can mark a great improvement in her, for in high .school, (where, by the wa. , she studied), she was very shy, and had no time for the frivolities of youth, such as dancing. She has grown out of her ideas concerning such things, however. If all girls in our school were awakened as ea.sily as she, by the first tap of old Romeo ' s bell, the clockmakers would have to seek another occupation. 84 SARA M. JONES HOMESTEAD Jonsie Y. W. C, A. ■ Sara has lived in so many places that when she was asked where she was born, she had to write home to find out. Her chief joy is derived from breaking paper bags, and her chief dislike from the sight of light-haired boys. She is noted as a peacemaker, and quells every disturbance, which arises among her room-mat s. From her photograph, you might think Sara burned the midnight oil, in order to have perfect lessons, but all those who have seen her dancing brovvu eyes know that this is not the ease. RUBY M. KECK PITCAIRN Y. W. C. A. Who is this serious looking girl. you ask. Really she is not so serious, when you know her. Find out whether she has ever planned a mid- night feast, or enjoyed some good joke at her neighbor ' s expense. Ruby has never studied A-stronomy, but you would never know it unless I told you, for she can name the stars from be- ginning to end, even though she does name them according to her special favorites instead of their astronomical order. Ruby has been known to write poetry, but so far her friends have per- suaded her to keep it from print. 85 THE INSTANO 1912 HELEN G. KEEPERS INDIANA P«te Associate Editor INSTANO Pete is a ficirl who has not spent much of Iwr time in looking out of life ' s west window, but turns her face to the rising sun always looking - for something to turn up. She faithfully fc H stands by the saying Never trouble troiible till ■ H trouble troubles you. We all agree that she B H displays good taste in her names, songs, studies F H and sports. Her favorite name being Percy, i P H H her favorite .song, Don ' t wake me up, I am Hfff W I dreaming. The study, which we must admit takes most of her time is Smiles. Last of all the sports which she most enjoys are Areoplan- ing and fishing. While she has spent most of iier time in town she surely enjoys Country life and can travel through a corn field on a wet day with as much grace and ca.se as a country la.ss Avhose whole life has been spent on the farm. FLORENCE E. KINTZ MANITO Flo Stop! I )ok! Li-sten!! Do not let Flo ' s dreamy eyes deceive you. She is not always in that mood which her sleepy gray eyes indicate. This young lady was an ardent lover of choco- late almonds, until Josie informed her that almonds have a tendency to make one .stout — but the real reason was that he was on the verge of entering a plea for bankruptcy. Not the least to be mentioned among her many talents is her wonderful voice. We predict that she will be- come a fair rival of Schumann-Heink. 86 THE INSTANO 1912 rgOkv NEIL KUNSELMAN MARIENVILLE Dutch Lincoln Debating Club; Y. M. C.

His talents outside of shining in classes and debating, we do not know, so well does he keep them to himself. His highest am- bitions are to replace Bill Taft. He is a member of the W. C. T. U. (Women Can ' t Toneh Us). Here ' s to Neil. He is always ready to play (500) Five Hundred. LEONE KURTZ A K PUNXSUTAWNEY Y. W. C. A. One bright morning the town of Punxsutaw- ney was made still brighter, when a quiet little maid, named Leone Kurtz, was announced. Since that time she has made rapid steps towards pros- pei-ity. As a member of the Senior Class of I. S. N. S. she has discovered her favorite study — teaching reading in the primary grades. Leone is .lust about five feet in heighth, yet we have come 1i) this conclusion — what she lacks in heighth she endeavors to make up in others. We are sorry to see Leone leave this part of the country, as she intends to spend her vacation out West. We wish Leone a suc- cessful visit, but hope she will return to our old state again. 87 THE INSTANO 1912 . .J§] MAUDE E.

Here we turn to tlie ' bright, cheerful, smiliug face of Emilye Lauver, better known among classmates and friend.s as ] Iidget. Small, dainty and particular, it does not take one long to discover that the name exactly fit.s. ]Midget has some very good habits, along with a few bad ones, of course. Her particular virtue lies in the fact that .she goes by that excellent motto: A place for everything, and everything in its place. She has her belongings so well arranged, that they coidd be found in the dark if necessary. Midget tries to impress this fact upon all her friends and says some petiple waste too much valuable time in unnecessary hunting for things which sliould be in their place. We all think thi. ? is a wise saying, coming from a young but a wise head, but it is another thing to follow it. 88 FHE INSTANO 1912 - LUCILLE K. LEWIS K n HARRISVILLE Sappy Associate Editor INSTANO: Girls Basket- Ball Team; Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. Lucille, 01- commonly kuown in school as Sappy came to Indiana a freckled-faced youngster of fourteen. Her stay in this institu- tion has been a very exciting one, marked espe- cially by the limits which were placed upon it. Her reputation as an actress has been estab- lished in this school by playing the leading roles in Jane, The Amazons, and For Old Eli. Lucille ' s youthful energy was put into tennis and basketball, and during the basketball season of nineteen eleven she won her I. Al- though Lucille has been at Indiana five years, her favorite expression (and .she is a great favor- ite herself) is, Say, girls, isn ' t it awful to think teen and have never felt the ticlvjing of cupid ' s w I have reached the age of uine- ings. ' ' LILLIE E. LIST BRADDOCK Y. W. C. A. The .subject of this sketch registers as a resi- dent of Braddock, the town which is noted, even if for nothing more than its nearness to Pitts- burgh. Lillie ' s mental capacity, which I assure you is of no mean proportions, can be found tab- idated in the books in the office, hence I will say no thing about it. She is one of Mac Gordon ' s ideals, as she never mi.sses her breakfast nor is .she ever late to her meals. Lillie is a great pd- lar of the Y. W. C. A. and she has a natural horror for class cutters and girls who run big bills at Sharkey ' s. 89 THE INSTANO 1912 JANET LITTLE WILKINSBURG Y. W. C. A. Ah ! What is warning to a maid in love? Tliis .young lady was born iu Venice, Pa. Al- though she has spent many happy months at In- diana, her thoughts still turn toward foreign shores, for we have heard that an Earle anx- iously awaits her graduation. ]Most of her time is spent in the pleasant and profitable occupation of sleeping. Only occasionally does she take part in the frequent cat calls for which the girl ' s dorm has become famous. ANNABELLE LIVINGSTON PITTSBURGH Associate Editor INSTANO; Huyghenian; Y. W. C. A. She is quite a hard worker from morning till night; Xot a minute wastes .she with her friends. For, Work while vou work and plav while vou play. Is the motto she carries as onward she weuds. Her smile is so sweet and her manner so win- ning, That when I gaze on her my heart starts a spin- ning. If e ' er you ' re in trouble and wish good advice Ask her. and I ' m sure she will set vou arights. 90 s- THE INSTANO 1912 EDITH MACKALL A K BEAVER Edie Y. W. C. A. I just simply can ' t get these problems, and that ' s all there is about it. When we hear these words, we know Edith is near. She eame to us straight from the farm, but her inclinations are directed toward medicine, judging from the M. C. pennants and the .skeleton head pins. That is strange, too, for ] Iedico Chi is not a Homeo- pathic school. Nevertheless, Edith, is a good sort, and there is no one who will be missed more when her class separates. VERNA MADERA PITTSBURGH Dot Y. W. C. A. With slow and stevady steps there came A maiden through the hall; Her voice was low, and soft, and sweet, And made no noise at all. Verna never makes a bit of noise, not even when she must hide behind a bed to escape the hall teacher. She is an authority on country life, and can always tell you something new and original concerning it. Her knowledge is prob- ably due to the fact that she has .spent all of her life in the citv. 91 THE INSTANO 1912 ' ■ .3 -«««i=:3 - i -A CHARLES J.

It to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you ' ll forget them all. This dark-eyed, tiuft ' y-haired maid spends most of her spare time in North Side, Pittsburgh. She manifests a great interest in copper, and will make a good assistant for someone in the study of this metal. But that is her only chance, and un- less she takes up a coui ' se in JMetalurgy in Car- negie Teeh,she will have to share her present knowledge with the young hopefuls of Pennsyl- vania. 92 THE INSTANO 1912 DON MARTIN A HEILWOOD Piggy, Shrimp, Runt, Whiffet Erodelphian; Captain Baseball 1910-11; Sisterhood When Dun enn rgi ' d friini the enelosures of PineHats. little did the wiu ' ld dream that here in this quiet, inott ' eiisive ercature lay dormant the qualities of a haseball star; nor did anyone think that he would some day .shine in the ballroom. Contrary to all expectations, however, he has be- eome a hero, and a mneh petted boy. The little whiffet takes everythinsc good naturedly. but is sharp as the pine needles in Pinetiats, to take advantage of a chance to pull off some practical joke. Out of school, his chief occupation is cross- piling sawdust; in school he spends most of his time in kidding the girls. RUBY MAXWELL ARNOLD Y. W. C. A. Far from the maddening crowd. Ruby is one of the faithful members of the cla.ss, who can always tell you how hard tomorrow ' s lessons are before you have had time to look at them. She is very generous and obliging, and takes genuine pleasure in doing little favors that one les.s thoughtful would overlook. But she is a jovial companion and one to whom you could confide your woes. There is one place you can never finu her, that is the dancing lloor, but you can find her at Model any time. One good quality pre- dominates, for no one hasever known her to crit- icise a clas.smate unfavorablv. but she does have a good word for almost evervone 93 ETHEL McCULLOUGH K n CLINTON Pud Y. W. C. A. Ethel dropped in on us from the country, a happier flower the country never grew. Her s- vcet smile will surely soothe many a tired little soul under her instruction. Oh, to he one of Etlii ' l ' s scholars! Every eveninfr you may hear her say, ' ' I have so much to do ; I ' 11 never get all my lessons done tonight. I must ask for lights. Is she fond of walking? Yes, as far as Sharkey ' s. We know that Ethel will not be long in the teaching profession, for she will swiftly give up that for sometliing more suited to her taste. ometrv and Arithmetic? ESTHER RUTH McGEE McGEES MILLS The E of this name Ls absolutely neces- sary, for our class is honored by another Ruth McGee. Esther Ruth had roomed down town during her life at Normal, until the Winter term of her senior year, when she decided to try dor- mitory life for one term. She was a very .studious girl, and her smiling face made you feel glad that she had lived among us. even if it had beejn for only one term. Talking of alarm clocks! How Ruth did hate it when her roommate decided to get up early in the morning, and her peaceful slumbers were disturbed by the ringing of the loud alarm bells. Who was it that shone in Ge- Why, our Esther, Ruth, of course. 9-1 RUTH J. McGEE PUNXSUTAWNEY Sleepy Please go way and let me sleep. Ruth is a demure little maid, but she has acquired one habit which even ' ' Laney cannot break. This is that exquisite habit dear to the hearts of all Indiana Normal girls — sleep, sweet sleep. Even the alarm clocks, these melodious musical instru- ments, have gone on a strike because, after their continuous efforts to arou.se the sleeper, they gel no other reward than a deep sigh. Ruth i.s very fond of her studies, especially Physics. Whether the teacher has anything tq do with this fond- ness, we do not know. GRACE M. McHENRY INDIANA Mack ] Iack is so blamed studious that she stud- ies whether or not to get up in the morning. She is a strict adherer to the doctrine, Better never than late. It seems that nothing can alarm hiT in the early part of the day. Well, never mind. ; Iack. keep going, and you will laud on the top of the pile. If you land everything a.s easily as the mysteries of Arithmetic, you will land about everything in sight. 95 THE IXSTAXO 1912 j TlJ r RUTH McKEE REYNOLDSVILLE Y. VV. C. A.

McLAIN WILKINSBURG Three year.s ago, Helen McLaiii, a shy and bashful little girl, came to enter Normal. To stay down town and take college prep at first look- ed good to lier, but being of a studious turn of mind, she longed for more worlds to conquer. So last year she changed to the regular and is now a valuable member of 1912. In the last year Helen has found that life isn ' t quite so serious and no longer troubles trouble till trouble trou- bles her. Helen hasn ' t as yet decided upon her career, but whatever it is we feel sure of hei success. 96 ERNEST McLaughlin a SHELOCTA Sandy, Big Chief Associate Editor INSTANO: Huyghenian; President Senior Class; Y. M. C. A.; Lincoln Debating Club: SOPHIST Board. The Senior who has the least to say, bnt who says something every time he talks. Sandy has never belonsred to any society or club in th school in which he ha.s not been the big noise. There is one exception to this, which I almost fm-- got to mention. He has been connected with the Y. W. C. A. for a number of terms. l)ut so far they have not appreciated his work. Strange as it may seem, even though Sandy knows parlia- mentary law from A to Z. no party has fvcr ask- ed him to take a seat in Congress.

So much tile better — you may laugh the more. If .you wish any peace in this life, never, nev- er let her get a joke on you, for you ' ll never hear the last of it. There sits Bess in the Red Room, during vacant periods, and some that are not vacant, with one e.ye open for Aunt Jane, and the other for that particular instructor in this ' ' Noble institution of learning whose class sha has happened to cut. This golden-haired lass says many funny things, but always leaves a doubt in your mind as to whether her remarks are intended for wit. or are merely the rambling.s of a diseased brain. A living example of the benefits of optimi.sm is portra.ved in Bess, for with a cheerful na- ture and a minimum of real work she lla drifted through her Normal career to a succe.ssfid finish. 97 THE INSTANO 1912 7iajji MABEL B. MEANS KITTANNING We next eall your attentiou to Mabol Means, who, by the way, claims to be quite a cosmopoli- tan, having lived in so many places that it was hard to tell where she did belong, but she recent- ly has taken out naturalization papers in Kittan- ning. Mabel is one of the very studious members of the class, getting up almost every morning at five-thirty to study. As we think of her among the rest of our class-mates we find her among the first, both in scholarship and friendship. HELEN MEEK REYNOLDSVILLE Contrary to the characteristic designated by her name, Helen is not so very meek after all. She is not content with leading her own Virgil class with tens but makes such an impression upon her instructress that she is being called on in every class. We Indiana Seniors are proud to count Helen as one of us, for although the first year of her Noriual life was spent in another Normal, Indiana held out greater attractions for her this year. 98 nglfl TlIK TXSTANO 1912 MARY C. MILLER r n B SHARON Mar.y came to Indiana in the Fall term, 1911, and we soon found her to be a very jolly, happy - go-hieky girl. ' Her favorite study is history and she always managed to make good recitations — with the aid of an open book. She was always complaining about not being able to find the right place in her physics book, as Jesse always called on her for something she could not find in time to stave off a zip. Mary is very fond of dancing and can always be found in Rec Hall after each iiieal. Her favorite expression is Smarty. ZULA O. MILLER LIVERMORE One fine day little Zula Miller entered our halls as a stvident. Although she was very timid, she soon found her l)earings and began her work. Long and hard she has labored over her French ; but she will feel repaid when State Board comes and she is able to write a good French paper. Zula intends to make her life work teaching ; and we congratulate her on the noble profession she has chosen. ' 99 THE INSTANO 1912 MARY A. MILLIN A K D STANTON Molly Associate Editor INSTANO; Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. ilary is no shirker and lier record liere shows it. She is a crank on exercise, goes out once a month without fail. Mary expects to teach her two years and then — well, don ' t .say anything, hut she is .starting a hope clie.st. I wonder if a certain house party liiid anything to do with it. Another sign which points that way is her ex- traordinarA ' love for sour pickles. GRACE E. MOTT PITTSBURGH Y. W. C. A. Grace is a product of the Smoky City and she has come to Indiana with but one idea and that is to make a new high percentage record. She is a great reader and has become a general information ibureau for faculty and others. One of Grace ' s principal occupations is sitting near the window with a book in her hand looking dreamily out of the window. It is unreasonable to expect that she would take a penny for her thoughts at such a time. 100 THE INSTANO 1912 g V lilNi III! nfil ' JUDSON W. MOUNTAN INDIANA Jud Lincoln Debating Club; Erodelphian Jud is one of the hard workers of the class, not especially in classes, but more so in anything the class undertakes; such as sleigh rides, etc. We all remember how he worked to down the iliddler.s in the class fight last fall, how he ar- ranged for our sleigh ride and all the work he did toward decorating for the Senior Dance. He is a very quiet, unassuming young man and is very shv when around the ladies. MABEL MUNSHOWER INDIANA Moony JIabel is a very good example of the cheer- ful worker as she always goes about her work with a smile. She is very fond of flowers and she often raves over a Sweet William. She is quite a songstress, but .she persists singing the same tune, which is, Won ' t you come home. Bill Bailey. She expects to be a teacher and it will not surprise us in later days to hear her name associated with the famous women of the twenti- eth century. 101 THE INSTAXO 1912 .. Jg] MARGARET L. MUTZIG EAST PALESTINE, O. Peg This little maiden hails from Ohio, where she has acquired some very peculiar tendencies. She is very honest, like.s all pie (although she prefers custard), is loyal to her friends, is a gracious hostess and is blessed with a good thinking ma- chine which helps her in her studies. She also- loves Browning and pretty slippers. She isn ' t aibove being broke, going to Chapel, or cleaning the boards at Model. T. GRACE NEVILLE PITTSBURGH Associate Editor INSTANO: Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A Thou hast no hesitation in those eyes. Which thdu dost glare with. How well we remember the color rushes of 1911 and 1912. when this fair lassie helped us to win the glorious tights. Her heart ' s desire is to live among the Mountains and help the doctor take care of his victims. Al- though her hair is not red, she has the tcinper that goes with it, so look out for the flash of her eyes, as it is apt to be fiillowed by a volley from her tongue. 102 rgj THE INSTANO 1912 i m MATILDA NICHOL LEARD Who is sho? Why the studious girl who spends hours over her books, only to have the teachers ask her the wrong questions the next day. She is not very talkative, and believes in the motto, Speak when you ' re spoken to. Her sole ambition is to get teaching off. The Model School, therefore, is her shrine and early in the morning she may be seen by passers-by kneeling on the walk before the school. She has no favorite class, nor teacher ; they are all view- ed with impartial and non-relenting eyes. HELEN NIXON CRESELL, O. Helena Y. W. C. A. We come now to our friend from Bacon Kidge. Did you say you never heard of that place 1 Well, it is in Jefferson County, Ohio. Some people seem to think that Helen is slow, but just tell her it is time for Arithmetic. It is her one favorite subject, and she always runs to it. One good plan she has is to keep the clock a few minutes fast. Try it. The favorite amusement of this damsel is dancing, and all of her spare time is spent in Ree Hall. 103 FHE INSTANO 191: ..J A trot: a trot: RUTH NIX n K S HOMER CITY Rufus Y. V. C. A.

Here she kpei).s open house and entertains her friends quite royally. She is a fine Latin teacher, greatly loved hy the 9th grade pupils. She burns the midnight oil. You ask why ? To read a mag- azine, of course. Her favorite expression is. Kills, the bell has rung and you know I sit at the other end of the dining room. Every even- ing, at beginning of study hour, you may hear ;Mv kingdom for a trot! RUTH O ' NEIL McKEESPORT Rufus, Pedo Erodelphian Kulh D ' Xeil loves a lawyer dear.

OPDYKE ICRNEST Twilight No (ine knows, as yet by what slip of fortune this little eherub wad dropped upon the earth, but one would think to look at her, that it was to comfort some lonely person. She is decidedly fair, and ha.s a wide-awake look, even though her usual pastime is sleeping in class. Twilight is bright and cheerful, and when she sees a fellow- student who has developed a case of blues, she at once howls out, Cheer up, you ' ll .soon be dead. MAYME OWENS CURWENSVILLE Secretary of Senior Class; Y. W. C. A. Our seeretaz ' y is of a quiet disposition, yet that smile of hers attracts many people. Al- though siie is no loafer in any of her classes, her hobby rests in the Physics class. At one time slit was secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and by per- forming her duties faitlifully, she came into the favor of all who knew her. Slie is liked by every- one, and it is predicted that she has a happy and successful future before her. 105 THE INSTANO 1912 j TiU ■ Tl c% Being of a care-free disposition their difficulties.

ITere at an.v hour of the day one is able to find .iust the person one is looking for. Juniors, iliddlrrs and Seniors, alike, make this their stopping place and are al- ways present at meal time. Nellie expects to teach two .years, and then go west. We doubt whether this will come about, for man.v unexpect- e l things have happened at Princeton. Nellie is an early riser and has no patience with anybody who isn ' t. Her greatest delight is to get folks down to breakfast, especially those who had full.v decided not to go. In other words, she is a torment. happ.y and ever read.y to help everybod.y out of • friends who will not forget her as long as they LOVEDA W. PETTY CRAFTON Love, Booful Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A.

Her chief characteristic — ticklishness ; her chief occupation — sleeping; her chief aversion — the rising bell ; her chief ac- compli-shment — singing; her chief delight — gig- gling; her chief ambition — to teach Geometry; her stock phrase, Oh dear. I ' m peeved. Love ' s one horror is of gaining a superfluit.v of adipose tissue and night and morning her prayer is : Don ' t let the goblins get me And for goodness sake don ' t let me Get too fat. 106 THE INSTANO 1912 VERNA M. PHILLIPS WINDBER Pug Y. W. C. A. This maid is fair and graceful. With hair quite dark and brown. Her face is filled with sunshine, And never wears a frown. Pug ha.s a very winniiii;- way and a ready smile for everybody. She is always .so cheerful that .she inspire.s everyone about her. The ques- tion has risen among us how Pug ean be a senior at Indiana, while lier liiind is in Syracuse. NORMA PIPER r 11 B PITTSBURGH Rep Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. Norma Piper, more generajly known as Per- fectly Proper Piper or Rep., i.s one of 1912 ' s most brilliant scholars, but fussing and dancing are her specialties. Rep thinks .she- is going to teach -in that dear old Smoky City, but we who know her so well are laughing behind our hands and just patiently waiting. Do you like her eye.s? Yes, that ' s what they all say. And wit; where Norma is, .so follows wit. 107 ' I — Ua, THE INSTANO 1912 j to ■  l MATILDA D.

Her carefree life is shown in her motto, Oh, don ' t bother, it ' ll be all right. She is the one to whom we all go when we need help, whether it be a story or essay to be written, or physics or geometry problem. Ilcr main ambition in life is to get through school with as little work as possible. EFFIE PRESCOTT PUNXSUTAWNEY Y. W. C. A. Indiana. called the brakeman. There was a hastle and bustle, and a coy little maiden rush- ed down the ai.sle, amid boxes and bags of every description. ' ' It must be Effie Prescott, ' ' gasped one of the crushed ones, for alas, ' tis true that hurriedness is one of her really striking charac- teristics. Effie ' s favorite snb.ieet is French and we can see her in a few years standing before a class in some western college as instructor in that language. She has one awful habit, viz.. appro- priating other people ' s pet phrases. However, since this does not come under the copyright act, we do think she will escape the Bastile. unless she becomes a suffragette, and the less said about that the better. 108 ADELAIDE F. RAMSAY II K S MT. PLEASANT Peggy, Adele Huyghenian; Y. W. C. A. Adelaide is one of our most charming seniors. You can feel her dignity in the atmosphere long before you meet her. At the piano she is a per- fect wonder. She is able to manipulate head, hands and feet all at the same time. The ivories even begin to wiggle when she approaches the piano. If there is one thing more than another that she is interested in it is otto mobiles. NELLIE RAMSAY MT. PLEASANT Scotch Y. W. C. A. In the fall of 1908 this golden-haired young lady .ioined our ranks from ] It. Pleasant High School. On getting better acquainted with her you will find that she loves to pore over treatises on mathematics. At present she is considering a special course in astrology. Although she pos- sesses the serious, grave look of the student, yet you will soon discover that she has a sjiirit of fun and .iollity and the ability to enter, with a hearty good will, into such undertakings as sled rides and class rushes. Her motto is, Work while you work, and when you play don ' t work at all. 101) THE IXSTAXO 1912 -«9- r -1 : GERTRUDE REED k ii OIL CITY Trudie Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. Two years ago Triulie left school. l)ut she could not stand the pressure so she came back. While away from Indiana her corresponding habits became so good that she was elected Secre- tary of the Erodelphian Society upon her return. The climate and effect of the air and the drugs of Indiana have so delighted her that she has decid- ed to remain here for life. When tir.st Trudie ap- peared witli her sparkler there were many groans of disappointment from former lovers, but now even they as well as we wish her happiness in her future life. HULDA REED BROOKVILLE Jliss Reed began a Yankee career in Pcnna- eook, X. II.. a few .years ago, but later cast her lot with the Penn.sylvanians, where she feels very much at heme among the Dutch. She attended the Brookville High School before her entrance to Indiana in the fall of 1909. She has proved lierself to l)e a student of excellent ability. Her favorite color is red; her motto, ' ' Wish I ' d somi.- tiling good to eat; her holiby, fresh air; and her favorite exercise, walking, when she is free to meditate upon the beauties of nature, including luunan nature, of course, and upon her future career as a teacher in the far west. 110 RUTH C. REED WINDBER Noodles, Rufus Y. W. C. A. This golden-haired hidy has long been the marvel of the class. We have sat and listened with awe and wonder to her exhaustless recita- tions on subjects beyond our comprehension. But this is not all, she has acquired such a dignified bearing that several times she has been mistaken for one of the faculty. Ruth has a strange al- fection for the song, Maryland, my Maryland, but it can hardl.y be attributed to a feeling for that particular part of our country, but rather to the bulky letters postmarked Md., which the mailman leaves at Smith Cottage every once in awhile. STELLA C. RHOADS BLAIRSVILLE Stell Yes, I know that to look at her you would think she is very dignified and reserved, but re- member, — Just to see is not believing, appear- ances are oft deceiving. Stella is not at all man crazy, in fact she has been known to run all the way up North Walk and into the Building just because she saw a man who was out enjoying the moonlight. Her motto : Hurry up and get your lessons out so we can go to the nickelodeon. Her ambition: Always to know her Cicero le.sson. Ill TTTE IXSTANO 1012 ' i Cj «sr •jfiS EDNA M.

NELLE ROSE CLARKSBURG Nell Huyghenian Here comes dear little Xellc. She comes all the way from Clark.sburi, ' . Pa. Xelle is very keen on mathematics and is busy this year impartinu; smne of her knowledge alonsj this line to the pti- jiils of ninth grade. Xelle deserves credit for her many good traits so we will overlook her very bad habit of talking in her sleep. Nelle often talks of going west to teach school, but do you think she will teach huig ? If she can ever make up her mind which one to accept, I think .she will not .stay at teaching long, but occupy an old stone homestead in Clarksburg. 112 THE TNSTANO 1912 ANNA E. RUFFNER PITCAIRN Y. W. C. A. When one passes this little girl they frequent- ly hear the word Model fall from her lips. Other girls invariably ask of her, Why do yon talk so much abont ] Iodel? Only Seniors talk about that place. Then she politely informs them that she is a Senior. Her chief hobby i.s teaching Arithmetic in a certain grade at ] Iodel. She is very skilled in Arithimetie, especially in addition. Ask her what nine plus six are and she will reply, Fourteen, without a moment ' s hesitation. She dearly delights in taking exam- inations, although she usually comes out of the class-room saying, Oh! I have flunked it, bui she never has been known to have failed in any of them. EDYTH I. SALISBURY PITTSBURGH Ede The girl who hates to part with her conversa- tion, and when she does so, her tones are almost apologetic. She believes in the saying, Silence is golden. A late edition of a Quaker maid, too shy to speak above a whisper. Ede had a hard time getting her picture taken as the photo- grapher became so flustered that he tripped over the leg of the tripod and smashed the plate. Hence she had to have another sitting. 1 1 71 i 113 THE IXSTANO 1912 DEBRA M. SANKEY NEWCASTLE Jimmie There is one question that puzzles everyone and it is, why did Debra idolize Physics in the fall term and detest it in the winter term? Well I don ' t know, do you? She likes to get mail so well that it seems as though she simply lives for mail. There is one letter in particular that she always longs for, and that is from. Oh! I can ' t tell. At half past six in the morning when Ro- meo rings the bell, Debra is still in dreamland. At seven she is suddenly awakened by her room- mate going to breakfast. Then Debra in a falter- ing tone says, Oh Zella, bring me up a piece of toast, but be sure and don ' t let anyone see it. This shows that she likes to sleep even better than she likes to eat. Her favorite studies are Lit and Ethics and her favorite expression is What ' s the use. ELEANOR SCANLAN JOHNSTOWN Skinner Skinner Scgnlan hails from the Flood City, That remark i.s inane and not very witty; She has tried very hard and is now a good cook, A fact to be seen bj her fond-aunty look. But alas, what misfortune, that boney pate, You all will agree ' tis a terrible fate; About her I could write at a 2 140 pace, But am not permitted to use so much space. So will merely put this bee in your bonnet, That I ' ve not lauded her enough in my sonnet. lU rr nijrS TTTF TXSTAXO 1012 ESTHER R. SCHWAB PITTSBURGH Fatty Y. W. C. A. One day as Esther walked on her way to Al- legheny High, she thought she could cause more excitement if she went away to schaol. As a re- sult we find her drifting through the spacious halls of Indiana Normal. Her good nature and happy smile always lead us to see the bright side of life. How can we sit still and wi.sh for home when Esther is about ? Her very laugh itself in- spires others to mirth and jollit.v. She is death to the furniture and has made mauy a job for Romeo as she ' bounded into a room with a jump. CAMILLE SEACHREST CASTLE SHANNON Wanted Y. W. C. A. What conscience dictates to be done, Or warns me not to do, I do. She is one of those kind of girls, while we miss her when she is gone, one could not tell what she did when she was here unless .you are a confidant of hers and then you will find that she is about as reckless as the above quotation designates. One would think from her name Seachre.st that she had crossed the pond from Sweden, but you can ' t bank on a name. 115 ' ' ' ■ r i JlAlj; THE INSTANO 1912 -TTT . f, HELEN SHUGERT MORRISDALE MINES Jack Not stepping o ' er the bounds of modesty. The name of this worthy member of our class is here incorrectly stated, and has been so all dur- ing her school life. Helen is a very unasstiming girl and if it had not been for several disconnect- ed phrases which she uttered one night in her sleep, it would probably never have been known that she is a relative of the great German com- poser, Franz Peter Schubert. You see Helen, it pays to keep your mouth shut, even in your sleep. HELEN K. SIMPSON INDIANA Simple, Helie Huygiienian Helen is noted for her fun and laughter. No- body can feel blue when she is near to giggle for Ihem. Her striking accomplishments are, — read- ing aloud and telling stories, and these make her a special favorite with children. Those blue eyes and curly black hair cannot be resisted by fun- loving people. She can cook well, and would make an excellent mistress of a large boarding house, but since coming to Indiana she has de- veloped some special talents and may yet be prin- cipal of some Industrial school. 116 m , THE INSTANO 1912 tgay LULA SIMPSON PENN RUN Simpie Lula sailed in from the wilds of Penn Run on the S. S. Leviathan and brought with her many wild and leviathan ideas. She can be found in the library every afternoon but it is hard to tell whether she is studying her lessons or the faces around her. It does not take very close scrutiny to see the Old Nick in her eyes, and she keep.s Minta on the go at all times. MARGARET E. SKELLY GREENSBURG Peg- Associate Editor INSTANO; Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. Peg — one of the three greatest talkers of the class of 1912. Divinely tall and most di- vinely fair, she has made a name for herself in more ways than one, having great executive abil- ity and initiative, which the class has learned to appreciate. Her chief occupation and delight, — chewing gum ; her one ambition, — to become a star in grand opera some time in the near future ; her ideals of human perfection, — Paderewski and Lillian Nordica; her favorite song, — The Amer- ican Soldier ; her chief accomplishment, — sewing. With all this, she is still a very inconspicuous girl 117 THE INSTANO 1912 ANNA BELLE SMITH REA Y. W. C. A. How Anna Belle did like History ! Morning, noon and night it was History. History. She lik- ed it so well that she put forth her best efforts to impart some of her knowledge of the subject to the young ' ' hopefuls ' ' in seventh grade. A. B. ' s highest ambition in life is to make bread and pies that will take the prize at the Burgettstown fair. She doesn ' t expect to teach school all her life, so don ' t be surprised if you hear of her staking a claim in the wilds of Jlontaua in the near future. cent for noble effort. MABEL C. SMITH A K PUNXSUTAWNEY Y. W. C. A. She is known for her high class standing. Her greatest ambition is to teach higher mathematics. She is extremely good-natured, and has learned from long experience to smile, when her heari- less neighbors disturb her afternoon naps. Her motto is: Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone. Her favorite amusement is playing tricks on her friends, but the appearance of the hall teacher settles ilabel for that evening. Some day when her greatest ambition is realized, she will look back over her own .school days, and will deal leniently with the mischievous pupils and give them all a high per- 118 THE INSTANO 1912 ■ii i m ti ii FRANCES D. SPARKS CONNELLSVILLE Frank Y. W. C. A. When Prank first came to Indiana she was aeeused of being pretty and sensible, a combina- tion rarely found. She firmly denied the former until now we have been forced to believe her. As to the latter, Actions speak louder than words, and when we see Prank slip out of her apart- ments about 8:30 o ' clock, and when we see her whisk into the clothes-press when footsteps are heard, we wonder what it means to be sensible. Her favorite pastimes are singing and develop- ing philosophical theories. EVELYN M. SPENCER TlKt BEN AVON Ev Class Treasurer; Y. W. C. A. Evelyn, or more commonly, Ev, is one bright spot among all those who know her. She appears very dignified to those who do not know her very well, but, alas, for those who are with her all the time — no rest. She possesses titles too numerous to mention, among which are Class Treasurer, Corresponding Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., Chief Adviser to the hall teacher, etc., etc. 119 THE INSTANO 1912 — J8  i  l ■a gji: SARAH STACKHOUSE JOHNSTOWN ■Sal To look at her you would not thiuk she had a name, but take my advice, do not ask her what it is, for .you will gasp in astonishment when shfe begins, Sarah Sadie Salome Saline Phipp Eliza- beth Clarissa Stop her, for if you don ' t you will have to wait an hour until she tells you the whole name. A familiar quotation of hers is Who wants to go to Sharkey ' s? Scarcely a day goes by without Sal ' s going to Sharkey ' s for dinner, and yet she still remains thin. HELEN STEWART INDIANA Stuarty Poetic Helen live.s for nothing but class timt to come around. We do not call her Poet ic Helen, because she mustered up enough nerve to write poetry, but because she is continually de- vouring the worlcs of authors. As a result of her poetic inspirations, she is a great lover of nature. At the end of the week, nothing gives her more pleasure than to count up the tens as she has re- corded them in her own mind. They generally agree with the number the teachers have given her. 120 THE INSTANO 1912 Trt- figJtU uatm MARGARET E. STEWART HOMER CITY Teg, Peggy This Peggy is independent, but kiud-hearted, and long of stature. Some combination, eh 1 She is a happy-go-lucky dreamer, and there are few in the school who dream more and study less. She finds a great source of amusement in the library, for here she can come and chatter away to her heart ' s content. One thing for which we must congratulate her is, her ever-ready smile. OLA G. STONER MT. PLEASANT O Gee Ola Stoner is a pleasant girl, as she comes from Mt. Pleasant. She is a perfectly sane, sen- sible girl, with no oddities or peculiarities. She has a charming tenor-alto-soprano-mezzo voice, and anyone in the vicinity of Smith ' s Cottage is likely to suffer the consequences, at all hours. She has but one failing and that is her love for pigs. 121 THE INSTANO 1912 ARTHUR M.

He is a great lover of Browning? He has one bad liabit — fussing fac- ulty. clash, let duty go to smash. mal as soon as possible. RUTH H. TERPE MARION CENTER Huyghenian Kutli i.s one of those careful girls who is per- fectly happy if she has eats on all occasions and does not have to get up in the morning in time for the fir.st class. You wouldn ' t think it to look at her. but her studies are a constant worry to her and every Saturday evening you may hear her singing with much feeling. Safely through another week. This rejoicing is prompted chiefly by those big fat tens recorded in Mr. Gor- don ' s class book. She h as two mottoes, both equally good, which she conscientiously lives up to. These are: Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow, and When joy and duty Her one aim and ambition is to get through Nor- 122 THE INSTANO 1912 CARRIE M. THOMPSON LEECHBURG Kitty, Cad Huyghenian This is our Leecliburg representative in the regular course, and well is the ' city ' represented. Kitty ' s favorite pastime is listening to a cer- tain quartet — not from Normal. Her favorite study is Gym. The most sensil)le tiling about her is her considerate judgment in matters con- cerning the appetite. She never eats too much or too little, but just the right amount. She is most noted at Normal for here excellent conduct on the hall during study hour, especially when the room is cold. JUNE M. THOMPSON PITTSBURGH Ikey Huyghenian; Y. W. C. A. June takes the world just as she finds it and so we call her Ikey. If you want to give her a present sendher some collar buttons, for when ever she is in a dignified mood, she alwa.ys rashes to put on a stiff collar, but alas, can never find a button. Yes sweet June is a bright, young lass, She wouldn ' t skip a single class. She gets up late, and goas to bed early. That ' s one reason why h3r hair isn ' t curly. At eight P. M. her study hour ' s o ' er. She closes her books and locks the door; Then with sigh and yawn, (oh, what a sight), She ' s off again for another night. 123 THE INSTANO 1912 m MYRTLE E. THOMPSON ELWOOD CITY Mouse Y. W. C. A. Oh say, Myrtle, tell me how to solve this prob- lem ! This is the cry we hear from Seniors and Juniors alike, while the rest of us stand back. She is earnest in all of her work, and we believe she will be successful wherever she goes. She does not seem to worry over the fact that she in about the smallest girl in the class ; it only makes her work the more. But still we gaze, and still the wonder grows, That one small head can carry all she knows. ALICE E. TYLER WINDBER Erodelphian She was hardened not with knowledge Ot the boarding school or college. In iissociatiug with Alice during her sojourn with us, we have learned to consider cheerfulness as her chief characteristic. We hear the cry, Who will translate my German for me? and the answer, Ask Alice, and so on in all of our studies; she was always willing to help. But she didn ' t like Arithmetic, and for some reason Arithmetic didn ' t like her, and when it fell upon her to teach it at IVIodel School, it seemed like the last straw. But she dug right in, and is getting along amazingly. Alice is from the wild and woolly West and Avheu her school days are over, intends going home, perhaps to propose to some young cowboy. 124 THE INSTANO 1912 tr?5Xi ANA Z. WAGLE INDIANA Menthy, Ann She sleeps ' neath the biscuit bush till the doughniits bloom again. Menthy is one of these happy-go-lucky girls who takes up each task with a smile, even if it is drawing an image in Physics class. Her disposition is best expressed by the saying, — Smile awhile and while you smile an- other smiles, and by and by there ' s miles of .smiles and life ' s worth while because you smile. She is faithful in discharging all duties, espe- cially those of the tire brigade, allowing neither weather nor pi evious occupation to interfere with her answering all alarms. She displays I great ability as an architect, especially in the building of air castles. When her school life here is the sunny West, she will take with her the heartiest ended and she sets sail for wishes of her class. MARGARET WALDFOGLE SHARPSBURG Y. W. C. A. My breakfast for a sleep ! This is the cry that little Margaret usually lets loose when the six-thirty bell sends its tintinabulary summons over the silent halls. ' Now, Margaret is a very dear little lady with tendencies that mo.st certain- ly do not lean toward the mouse faction. She has a natural aptitude toward sauer kraut, weiners and sprechen sie Deutsche, as can be easily seen by her cognomen. Her favorite expression is Do tell, which she fondly ejaculates on all occa- sions, although she does not care two straws whether you tell her or not. On the whole we find our Peggy very sweet and demure, but we fear that she may be a feminine edition of Rip Van to sacrifice breakfasts for naps. Winkle if she continues 125 DOROTHEA E. WALDSCHMIDT PITTSBURGH Dot A creature not too bright or good for hu- man nature ' s daily food. Dorothy is a worker. She can dig, dig, dig, with never a moan long after everyone else has given up in disgust. She ' s a good, wholosonip, jolly girl, one who knows when to giggle and when to sigh, and whom it is a I)l( ' a.sure to be with. She can scold you when you ' re crass, comfort you when you ' re blue, and laugh with you when you ' re happy; what more could anvonc wisli in a friend? KJ-j. ,. ;■■ ' ' - -liwiiiii - ' «Jk ' .- 1 M. FLORENCE WALLACE INDIANA Floss Florence has spent most of her life among the foot-hills of the Alleghenies in the quiet and peaceful burg of Indiana. She has become resigned to her fate by this time, however, and seems completely satisfied. Night after night she can be seen poring over her studies. Give her a book and she is lost to the world. The biggcsi joke about Florence is her mutto, ' Love is a lie. 12G THE INSTANO 1012 nXSu, MARTHA WASSELL BELMAR Marty, Mart Girls ' Basketball Team; Y. W. C. A. JNIartlia is our little girl. Very seldom in a whirl; But in a basket ball game Will you never find her tame. Is she a shark? Well I should say Nevertheless we find her gay. And we ' ll find her every day Hurrying on, up, and away. PAULINE B. WESNER JOHNSTOWN Paul Some say she plunks, we ' re sure she never flunks. Her picture really does not do Paul ju.s- tiee, for it fails to show that her lamps are light- ed with that all-knowing oil. One guaranteed way of winning her favor is to compliment her on her very small stub nose. We did call her practical Paul, but since we have seen her with Jim we have changed it to popular Paul. We think in the little flat which she tells us she in- tends having in the future Red wi ll carry out the color scheme. She is a living proof that that pill taker is not a pill. Paul is very lesthetic in all her tastes and this may account for her strong liking for the Irish. 127 THE INSTANO 1912 fiulj ntt ALICE C. WEYMAN r n B WILMERDING Cutey Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. On November tenth, several years ago, in spite of all Pittsburgh ' s smoke, a ray of sunlight stole into the Weyman home. The sunbeams im- mediately took a maternal shape and our Cu- tey is the result. At an early age her parents recognized the wonderful intellect of their child and decided that Indiana was an ideal place foi the development of her mind. Alice ' s spare time is spent in the diligent perusal of a pamphlet en- titled, How to reduce your fat without drugs. NAN J. WHITE KITTANNING Nannie Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. As we look over the taller members of our class, one of the most conspicuous is Nan White, for she towers far above us. She is the only stu- dent here who sings while working Arithmetic. Speaking of music recalls the fact that Nan sliows wonderful ability in playing the mouth or- gan, and in using her vocal chords in elocution. ( f course she practices a great deal, much to the annoyance of the poor hall teacher. She has a strong voice which will be almost perfect after taking a few lessons. Nannie is an all around girl in spite of the fact that she is from Kittan- uing. 128 ■ULJlji TTIE TXSTANO 19T2 ■ jiSTi i ■ RUTH N. WIDDOWSON INDIANA Percy Huyghenian Not the Ruth of Bible times, not quite, yet George reverently repeats. Whither thou goest. I will go, and where thou diest, I will die, or something to that effect. You can never find a time that George is not somewhere in her mind ; of course, he is so small that he does not take up very much room, and it is an eas,v matter to keep him on the brain. Percy ' s favorite is French, and we are sure that one of these days she will be talking like a native Parisian. On the whole she is a good child, and never skipped more than one class a dav. EDITH WILLIAMS DERRY Erodelphian; Y. W. C. A. After graduation from Dcrry High, Edith thought she would prepare to teach and live the life of a sedate bachelor girl. Not so, for here at Normal, she met her fate face to fac e. It is said that absentmindedness is an indication to some peculiar state of the mind. Now, if there is anv truth in this statement, there seems to be no hope for Edith. She even forgets to get up in the morning, and sometimes, even forgets to pre- pare her lessons. ]Much of her time is spent in dreaming, not seeing. 129 THE INSTANO 1912 -g gEP Ml.

Elsie likes to take walks and never opens up like a morning glory so she does not have to shut up when she returns. In other words, her mother tongue is Silence. She is decidedly shy. but most learned ones have .some peculiarity. She came here with the sole jiurpose of teaching in the pri- mary grade and giving the professors lessons in Physics and Geometry. J. KATHERINE WINEMAN BLAIRSVILLE Kittens, Puss She would be insulted if called a shirk. And at the table they say she ' s not, But anything that looks like work Is never assigned to her lot. She gets her marks liy looking wise, And never seems to study at all; She simply wears that knowing look; Upon her the teachers seldom call. She loudly laughs at her own bum jokes, And seems to think them full of fiui. Hut wrinkles her face up to a scowl When another springs some spicy pun. 130 sss ' TIE TXSTAXO 1912 MARY WOLFHOPE JOHNSTOWN With red cheeks, redder still, kissed by ros- es on tlie hill. Mary first began to talk in Johnstown, .some eighteen years ago. Even though she is small in stature, .she i.s not so in ambition, so after graduating from Johnstown High School ill l!tll. .she came to Indiana. Mary divides her attentions between German and eat- ing. She thinks that every woman should be able to handle horses so she has started out on a small scale by managing a pony. After gradua- tion she expects to teach, and she has many friends who wish her all the success possible. ELVA A. WOODROW GREENSBURG Huyghenian; Y. W. C. A. Many noteil persons have been Ijorn in Greensburg. but few have yet surpassed this maiden, who first saw tlie light of day some time within the last century. Slie has shown great ability along many lines, but as a comjietent pres- ident of the y. W. C. A. she ha-s proved herself qualified to fill that most difficult position. — a minister ' s wife. Any good-looking minister inter- ested in tliese qualifications and wishing refer- ences need only notify tlie Faculty, wlio will gladly recommend her. i:n THE INSTANO 1912 MAIE E.

You may have noticed that Marie cares nothing at all for men — men, that insig- nificant part of the human race. What a pity all were not women. MARGARET M. YARNALL ALTOONA Marga Huyghenian; Y. W. C. A. Marga .seems to be quite fond of making Y. W. C. A. posters. Almost any time you go to visit in room 287, you will find her propped up on pillovrs reading away for fair. Quite prompt in keeping dates, especially with ilr. Bob. When seated in alphabetic order she is so near the back of the room that she contemplates changing her name so she can sit among the H ' s. 132 THE INSTANO 1912 E. LENORE YEALY DERRY Y. W. C. A. She would not with that stentorian tone, Assert herself in class as she does in her room. All the old folks in Derry point to E. Lenore as their chief representative. Yet while we ad- mire her in her industrioasness we think she spends loo much time working for unknown quantities. She is not a suffragette and is thinking of starting a back to the kitchen movement. Some think that she could freeze an icicle, others that she could melt the North Pole, but we have our doubts. AGNES D. YOUNG n K 2 PITTSBURGH Ouch Y. W. C. A. Agnes, or Ouch as she is better known, is continually robbing the children at Model. She already has five jacks, a shoe buttoner, a compli- cated ruler, and a Tramp Joke Book. We thought that when she became a Senior she would have put away childish things, but she seems to derive unlimited plea.sure from these toys. Ouch has always been interested in the subject of fjight. in Physics, and has been very successful in find- ing and tracing rays of light, even before th. ' Senior Dance; but since a real live Ray cro. ' iscii her path she has recited more intelligently than ever. |MH pi H ► K r 1. Mkt mL . 1 B ' ' - ' ' ' ' l 133 In Memoriam HELEN C. WILSON MANOR. PA.

Garnet is a girl whom we all miss when she is gone, yet do not know what she does when she is here. She is rather hard to appreciate at first, but this is probably due to her desire for kniwl- edge. Her ambitions are the cause of many a weary hour of hard, drudging labor. She evi- dently believes in the adage which encourages deep drinking from the Purian spring. 137 THE INSTANO 1912 JEAN KNOX LACOCK n K v PITTSBURGH Jennie, Pinkey Erodelphian, Y. W. C. A. Jean, or perhaps Pinkey, altliougli a quiet little girl, has greatly surprised her freinds by enjoying the Fourth of .July immensely. This is due probably to the sound of the eannon. whieh is musie to her ears. This Irish ehild with the j)leasing blushes can tell you just what to wear, and when and how. She has experience in almost all courses, but next year she will re- turn again and exi)ri-inient with the Domestic .Science. HELEN JEAN McLEOD WILKINSBURG Erodelphian Helen ' s fame rest.s on lici ' ahility to [ii ' actice hypnotism. She tries this frequently on the teachers. If you care to know how it worked ask her what her IMethods note hook was worth in the opinion of the hypnotized professor.

Further than that we know nothing of her work, for she never raves about her aceompli-shments, and is generally in her room (?) working away. 140 ADVANCED DRAWING LILLIAN BELL She moves, a goddess, and looks a queen. For two long years Lillian has worked most diligently in the music and drawing depart- ments, and her work has not been in vain. She has .succeeded well in both, especially in voice training. Oft, when South Hall, second floor is wrapt in the my.steries of Trig or Latin prose, a rote song to be taught next day in Model, floats in over the transoms, and all hearers are spell- bound by the effective rendering of a simple mel- ody. Not only does Lillian .shine in her school work, but in social affairs as well. Who is more popular in the various festivities than Lillian, yet who more reserved and unassuming and sweet?

When Brownie entered his first race he be- came pretty tired and finally decided to quit. A good healthy kick from a world ' s record man. aimed in his direction, sort of changed his mind, however, and saved his life. He kept on running and took a place in the race. From that time on he has improved, until now he is one of the fast- est half-niilers on the cinder path. He is very accomplished and can use the artist ' s pencil about as well as he can run. Although he does consider variety necessary, he can drum on the piano very melodiously. 141 HAZEL KIRK DOUGLASS INDIANA Erodelphian Hazel lias arrivod a1 tlic iiinnaele of fame after a loni, ' joiii-iicy thnmirh the lodi ' l School and Xoniial.

MARY BOUCHER BEAVERDALE It was a pleasant autumnal day three year.s ago, when Jlary Boucher landed at I. S. N. S. and enrolled as a student of Music ; that hon- ored school has never regretted the event, for Mary is a good worker and has among her other virtues a cheery disposition, a sunny smile, and a budget of good advice, which she doles out when occasion demands, to her more unforunate sis- ters. She is cue of ths happy-go-lueky kind wh always hope for the best, but do not worry or fret if everything does not come their way. Her favorite amusement is reading beauty hints and trying new beauty preparations. She is always busy while awake; but her waking hours are usually shortened by the fact that she is a firm believer in Franklin ' s advice, Early to bed. Her one fault is that she interferes slightly with her neiglilxir ' s hair dressing. 145 THE INSTANO 1912 er, MYLTREDA CATTRON| A K SHARPSVILLE ]Myltrt ' da, tlu ' one girl in ten thousand, is a good thing to have around.

MARIE J. CRAFT COALPORT Marie is one of the girls who is talented along certain lines. Early in the morning and the afternoon, she may be heard working away on her music. P ' ' or this reason she is sure to be a credit to that department of the school. We will say nothing of her as a girl, for she is too well known and liked by everyone to need com- ment. IW HELEN DALBY NANGATUCK, CONN. A word to the wise is sufificient. Here is a girl who has been successful in everytliing she has undertalven around the school, but she has not attempted much. It is true she bit off a pretty large bite when she entered the music course, hut it does not seem to have worried her nmcli, and she is .sailing right through. MARY G. DUNCAN r n b WINDBER Tot , lary Duncan, better known as Tot. was ti)vn in Windber. Pa., in 1776, and has graced Indiana with her presence for the past two years.

A few years ago there came to Indiana a timid little girl, who was enrolled in the ninth grade Model. This little girl won friends imme- diately, not only her classmates, but also among the older girls. If any one would ask you what Bee ' s magnetic power was, he would receive the answ er, ' ' Her eyes, ' ' and yet people are wonder- ing what the color of those wonderful eyes is. Bee soon passed the stepping stones to literature and was enrolled as a music student. Her career as a music student was one successful march, mounting such difficulties as counterpoint, har- ue Gregorian spirit. She has already accepted a position singing for the Victoi-iau records. 148 i@c THE INSTANO 1912 ■■ jfflipiiw 1 1 1 ■■iiiir iii — ' MARGARET HILL LEECHBURG Y. W. C. A. Margaret is a very modest young damsel from the prosperous village of Leeehburg. At present, she is an humble member of the nineteen hundred and twelve supervisors ' class, but some day in the near future, her fame as a prima- donna will shake the very rafters of the most famous opera houses in both the old world and the new. She has, however, one very bad habit, and this her custom of gazing into her mirror at her comely features. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity. Nevertheless, Margaret is a very pre- cocious maiden, for at the tender age of three she had committed Tennyson ' s Song of the Brook, beside several minor poems. MARY A. JAMISON a K MARTINS FERRY, O. Erodelphian Contestant in Inter-Society Contest It was not until this year that the class of 1912 was brightened by the sunny disposition and winning smile of our golden-haired Mary. She spends her leisure hours reading nursery rhymes, and is speeially fond of George, Por- gie, puddin ' and pie. May we dare ask why Mary preferred going to Clarke ' s studio for her picture? Mary ' s voice is .iust as sweet and charming as her personality. We predict for hei a happy and successful graud opera career. 149 THE INSTANO 1912 DOROTHY S. JUNKER INDIANA Dot In sjiite of the fact that she is somi ' tiines call- ed Dot, we can assure you it is not at all appli- cable. She is a clot drawn out (that i-i, a dash) and stood on end. Dorothy is serious, in fact, so sei ' iiins in liei- work that she h;ites lo waste the lime walkinji ' to aucl from school. As long as that is her woi ' st fault, however, she should he satisfied. GRACE KERSCHNER CLEAN, N. Y. No, the conservatory is no place of ]iublic entertainment, hut if ' ou were to visit Grace any time during the da.v. .vou would Ihink so.

LYDIC INDIANA Hazel is a very winning girl, and her conver- sation is always pleasing, bnt she should stop talking about growing tall. She knows it is use- less. One of her many aims in life is to teach in Ohio. We think Penn.sylvania inducements are good enough, but .she cannot see things in that light. JOSEPHINE MACKENTOSH Jo LOGANSPORT, IND. Josejihine is a gii ' l ulm can be seen at any time with a smile, but wliethcr it is for those who gaze upon her blushing cheeks, or for her lover, who is far, far away, we cannot say. She always has a friendly bow and hello for every one she knows, and she knows is all. 151 - THE INSTANO 1912 FRANCES McCarthy BLOOMSBURG Frances practices economy by eating no breal fast, and a donble dinner. She has often expressed a fondness for hngs and beetles, but tills is no sign tliat she is Inighouse. She has al- ways been very prominent in voicing her opin- ions in class meetings (?) hut she never knocks after a decision is made. Her greatest ambition is to graduate in the music course. HELEN R.

We agree with her. and believe that all will turn out well. Her talent as a coming grand opera star was display- ed in the Chimes of Normandy, and in IModel. A brilliant career is surely in store for her. 152 THE INSTANO 1912 s @ i  I I I w S j iaiL MARY B. McCLARAN SALTSBURG Mae, a.s the girls all call her, hails i ' rom the little town of Saltsburg. This clever little musician started her musical career there, but finding it too uninteresting, came to Indiana about three years ago, where she has been busy ever since. Of our Mac, one of the Music Faculty was heard to say, Never have I heard anyone get such tone out of a piano. — Puzzle: Was it a slam? She has a few little side iasues. She takes Domestic Science for pleasure ( ?) and uses hair tonic for exercise. Of course, we be- lieve everything she says about Domestic Sci- ence, ' but she must be thinking of future pleas- ures. As to Hair tonic one could see the result from the long, wavy tresses which she possesses. Nevertheless with all her faults we Mac !!! love her still. Here ' s to GENEVIEVE XAVERIA MURRAY ROSSITER Mack, Girlie Erodelphian; Contestant Inter-Society Contest. This smiling girlie is G. X. il., who was born a few year.s ago in Tioga county. She has a happy-go-lucky disposition, but when there is a cause for dignity, .she has it. As an actress she is great, and her repertoire consists of everything from grand opera to Madame X. She, it was, who set the .judges of the contest wild by her rendering of the piano solo for the Erodelphians. On this night she suddenly sprang from the shadows into prominence, and has remained there ever since. Her favorite expression is, Holy Bologna, and her favorite pastime— ' ' fussing.

She is continually ' expressing her desire to fin- ish school, hut we have not decided what has led her to make this remark. It may l)c for various reasons, but the most likely is that she is anxious to do something in the way of educating young- sters in the low grades (?). She consider.s this a verv liigh calling, a.s indeed it is.

She was king wherever she went and especially did she rule with an iron rod, one little damsel, who could not govern herself. A very sensible (sen.sele,ss) girl was she. No dain- tier little iliss was found in the school and not one was more industrious.

She has a pretty face in spite of the fact that she takes frequent sleigh-rides. But she is continually advising all friends who have dear faces to refrain from this winter sport. Of all her work, her favorite studies arc P.sychology and auburn hair. When there is a ghost of a chance for a good time you can always count on Mary as being one of the bunch. ANGELINE SILVA HAWAII Angeline early determined to reduce her weight in some way or other, so she decided that tennis wa.s about the easiest. Although she was green at this game, she soon became quite pro- ficient, thanks to the valuable instruction given by her roommate. Angeline made quite a hit with her broad smile and congeniality, so she has many friends who regret that she left Nor- mal to take up her home with her brother, who owns a ranch in New Mexico. 15G THE INSTANO 1912 iCTSfe i JmSJ m . BLANCHE OLIVE SMITH REA Even thougli Blanche conducts licrself with the greatest dignity imaginable, she is a jolly girl to those who know her well. She is an admirable student and wastes no time in foolishness when there is any work to be done. Always in a cheerfiil mood and never discon- tented, is an exceedingly apt way of telling just how she is at all times. THELMA E. SMITH PITTSBURGH Thelma does not believe in the restrictions one is under when staying in the dormitory, so she could never bring herself to the step of oc- cupying a room in that building. Her style of attack varies with her impulses. On some occa- sions she can be as stern and serious as anyone, while at other times she is jolly and gay and brinuuing over with fun. It has been said that a person who possesses auburn hair is a grouch, but we know that in this instance it does not hold good. 157 THE INSTANO 1912 ISABEL SPRING A K SALISBURG, MD. Willi ;ill (if lii ' r ]irai ' tii ' iiig and earnestness, Isabel should sdou be applying for a pipe-organ |)iisitii)ii. She is perfeetly wild about her pipe- organ lessons { ' !) and .sits for hours (periods) at a time digging out this work. The influence of .Mae. and his stand-bys has not liad mueh to do with Isabel, for siie is the same musician (with her tongue) wlio took up this monotonous ( ' . ' ) life there early in spring term. MARGARET STEVENS A K MANSFIELD Marge Everyone at .school knows large. She is such a dainty little creature that she cannot help but attract the attention of everyone. She has many opinions of her own and I would ad- vise you not to start an argument with her or try to change her opinions unless you do not mind being defeated. But her big heart more than makes up for her other faults. She is very fond of teaching in Jlodel school, and is also fond of the children; is now patiently waiting until commencement is over when she might be- come a wise woman. Margaret expects to teach next .year and the earnest wish of her friends is, ] lay those whom she teaches find in her the worth that she has been to us. 158 THE INSTANO 1912 ■g ELMA M.

TRUMAN TWO HARBORS, MINN, Delia came a gre;it distanee to Join our throng, but we have never heard anyone com- plain of her presence here. In fact, everyone takes a delight in calling themselves her frit ' ud,s. It was she who taught Augeline the mysteries of lawn tenuis. It was this same girl who resolv- ed seven times each week to ri.se early and take morning walks. But these decisions were as ncai ' as she ever came to the little strolls. 159 LAURA IDELLA ADAMS AVONMORE Y. W. C.

Her hair is brown, And so are her eyes; And if she ' s not a flirt — Then, the eyes tell lies. She is very neat, And shy and sweet. From the crown of her head. To the soles of her feet. NELLE ALTER INDIANA Nelle came tn us from Indiana High school. She is a very industrious young lady, having fin- ished the commercial course in one year, besides getting to school on time for the tirst class every morning. Unless she decides to move to Plum- ville we expect to see her in charge of the books in her father ' s store ere another year. Nelle has always been opposed to initiating and has al- ways had a great MlTcclion for the Freshie. w 163 ■sssr THE INSTANO 1912 MYRTLE BIDDLE PITTSBURGH Myrtle is from the Smoky City . She en- tered our institute of learning as a regular stu- tlent. but later changed her course to commer- cial. She is of a sunny disposition when permit- ti ' d to have her own way, and i.s a happy-go- lucky dreamer. Few there are, who can sleep more, or study less. When greatly aroused she is known to give vent to her feelings in that classical expression Oh, heart. Since she has jileadcd with us not to u.se Bill ' s name, we will comply with her wishes and simply mention that her favorite pastime is dancing to the music of Hilly. EDNA BUTT VV BOIS Edna is known by her familiar giggle and the expi-ession Oh kid. She is one of the many who practices part of Poor Richard ' s saying, Pearly to betl. We do not expect Edna to make much use of her diploma, as she is thinking seriously of settling down in Chicago, where .she .says she will be At Home to all her Indiana friends and classmates. We wish Edna much happiness in her new abode. 164 ■ ■ THE INSTANO 1912 ■ ANNA CHESTNUT BROOKVILLE xVnna bounced into Indiana last fall and im- mediately started to absorb the knowledge to be gained in the commercial course. Anna has been one of the prominent figures in the class hay ride, sleigh ride and dance. She is so good natured and willing to help that she is liked by all. Whether she will take charge of some busi- ness man ' s office or home will be left to the future. HAZEL CONDRON HOME Hazel comes from the city ( ?) of Kellysburg, which is known by Uncle Sam as Home, Pa. Hazel has never tried dorm life and has never been associated with all the little trials and trib- ulations of such a life. We .iudge from the zeal with which she takes up the intricacies of Gra- ham ' s Shorthand that she will be establishing some new speed records very simhi. 165 THE INSTANO 1912 ■Sar ISABELLE EASTMENT A $ PHILIPSBURG Is Y. W. C. A. Her eyes dark charm were vain to tell; There are some youths who know it well. Some few short summers before this writing. Isabelle first opened her eyes to the beauties of this world, which beauty she has been seeing ever since. Is is a minister ' s daughter, and for that reason has roamed much in spite of her youth. Isabelle is quite an attractive young lady Ixith in looks and disposition, so her winning ways soon found her a place in the hearts of the girls. Strange, the boys didn ' t rush her? She took a great interest in all social affairs, but letter-writing and telephoning seemed to be her favorite pastimes. Probably. I.sabelle will teach next year, but whether she does or not the class of 1912 have reasons to suspect that she will not go far from Indiana. MARY GRAY PITTSBURGH Tiny, Nellie JIary, although one of the smallest girls in the cla.ss. is not lacking in spunk or ambition. She is a perfect personification of the saying, The best goods are put up in small packages. Nellie is a very good student, while here, but why does she make so man.y visits home? ] Iust be some attraction. Her favorite (?) pastime is hammering away at a typewriter, at which she has become very proficient. 166 THE INSTANO 1912 ■«s- MARIA GREER K n CANONSBURG .Maria wa.s oni ' of tlu ' most brilliant gradu- ates of the elass of 1911. She is now taking a conmiurcial course and tilling the position of as- sistant librarian. Although being very loyal to Indian;:, she favors Kiski very strongly. I won- der why — there ' s a reason. Being a very reticent young lady .she does not speak often of herself, but it will surprise a majority of the class if she does not stav in Indiana. LOLA GRIMES SHEFFIELD For nature made her what .she is and never made anothc ' r. Lola joined u-i last fall and has been attempting to show the rest of us how little we know. Lola is of a very sunny disposition, and when everything seems dark and gloomy it is ahvays she who dispels the gloom with her bright smiles and happy laughter. Although a very shy maiden and hard to appreciate at first, acquainted with her one cannot but admire her. 1G7 THE INSTANO 1912 p M.

Shr is a ji ' ivaf vegetarian, as she says meat is too nourishing for one of her iirepoiulerance. and she never eats an ' lireakfast for the same reason. PRUELLA MOORE OSCEOLA MILLS Prui ' lhi is one of our little girls. She is a great worker and deelares she ' s going to be an old maid. But we often hear her speak of the good times she ' s had with the boys. Her one great ambition is to travel over the whole eonn- Iry. Let us hope in her numerous future travels she will Hnd some one who will he attraeted l)y her big brown eyes and her ever i)leasant snnle. and who will take her hand and go with her to the haunts and plaees which she loves. 16S THE INSTANO 1912 - ==si«!S- J.

At one time Scott thought he was cut out for an engineer, at another time a surveyor, but he has finally decided that to really be a success one nui.st be able to hanuner on the keys of a typewriter. His life in Canada wa.s a wild tighl for existence among other similar animals of thi- wilderne.ss, but since he has resided in civiliza- tion he has become perfectly harmless and docile. Scott grants the statement that Helen of Tro might have been the most beautiful woman, but insists that Helen of Altoona is just as fair. HARRY K. NEHRIG INDIANA Harry is one of those serene individiuils who thinks twice and doe i not speak at all. Anger, love, .joy, hate — all these emotions may or may not have been felt by him — his closest friends cannot tell — but if they have, their effect was so slight or his control so great that his calm conn tenance was never ' disturlied. Harry is sure tn be manager of some Inrge business house ere long. 1G9 THE INSTANO 1912 GERTRUDE PLANTE OIL CITY Of all tlic plugging, hard-working, grinding, eoninicrcial .seniors. Gertrude Plante is about the worst or best, as yon may look at it. She is Prof. ] Ieyer.s ' one snre bet when he wants some difficult transcription made. She is a very obe- dient pu|)il and goes at her many lessons with a smile. ADA PROUTY ELDRED Ada comes from the northern part of our State, where they call pigs, hawgs and cattle eo-ows. Ada, despite the allusion to rural life, is not from the bush but is very eitiiied. She is a frequent patron of Rec Hall and all illastrated lectures. We cannot think of her as pounding her days away on the keys of a t.vpe- writer, but rather as keeping a cozy home in JIc- Kean county. 170 THE INSTANO 1912 ' ' - «. ■ yTBCP i MAY U.

He is one of the hard workers of the class and is even now private secretary for the jn-csident of some large eoal company, while the rest of ns are still plug- ging away in school. We always thought Slim ' was one of these poor specimens of humanity wlio thought they were too good to associate with women until we saw him come up to bid her goodbye before he left school. MARTIN SIEMON TRANGER Cy, Doc Well, here ' s Martin, God bless his wee soul, for he ' s wise and he ' s gentle and as tough as he ' s bold. So since the time has come when we must part and pursue a course of our own, we feel sure he will be able to rescue his own soul. We say he is tough; well, that ' s true, for he laughs in the evening at the bumps he has passed through. And grit; well, there was never one with such sand, for he would sit all day and grind, grind away. Though he is gritty and tough he is not to say rough, for he thinks of the mush that is in all of us. Cy has made a rep- utation as a veterinarian and will, no doubt, hang out his shingle in Tranger before long. 172 ■ THE INSTANO 1912 P III hJM EARL SMITH A CLEARFIELD Smitty Smitty originally hailed from DiiBois, but now claims Clearfield as his home. He is a good natured fellow when left alone, but is eas- ily irritated, and is an awful prevaricator. Some who know him well, claim that he tells the truth once in a while, hut the ma- jority elaim it is once in a lonj;- while. Smitty developed a bad case of effiminitis last year, but she happened to be a member of the class of 1911 and since her departure he has not gone amonu ' em to any great extent. HERMAN TOMB INDIANA Dick Herman Vance Dick Tomb first saw the light of day in the city of Armagh, Pa. Here he obtained his early education and his love for poetry. The only thing Diek did in Armagh that deserves mention was to chop a tree down. Thi.s may not seem like a very big .stunt, but the tree happened to fall on the house where Wm. Caldwell resided. Four years ago the Tomb family moved to Indiana and Dick started to I. S. N. S. Everybody knows him and appreciates him, for he has a better voeabulai-y than T. H.

Now. of course, you would all like to hear something of the exciting adventures which have befallen us in our .iourney as we have manned our boat through the shallows of Junior Land, into the stream of Middli ' Year, anchoring finally in the deep, rearing waters of Seniority. Listen! In the fall of nineteen hundred nine our little craft started its voyage. The weather was bright and clear, the greatest difficulty we had at fir.st being that of finding our bearings. We were co!itinually lost in the winding and turns of the wilderness of Recitation Hall. but. by calm judgment and speed.v rowing, we were soon, each morning at eight o ' clock sharp, ready to take up oui- quest ftn- knowledge. While finding our bearings, we became fairly well ac((uainted with each other and were able to sail swiftl.y and peacefull.v along. Once in a while we were slightly .iolted when the great waves of Algebra and Latin bumped into ouv craft, but with that determination which characterizes our class, we p it our shoulders to the wheel .and calmly rode over the menacing waves. Once in a while we brought our boats to rest and within the cheerful glades of the girls ' dornutory. disembarked. There, recreating ourselves with health- ful pleasures, we spent many happy hours. Hut. lo ! in the horizon looineil up a cloud. What could it mean? Ah. a shi[). and printed ui)on it in large letters the words, State Board E.xams. Did we cower down before it? Did we turn from our course and let it sweep us ' away? No. for, tightening our rigging and taking a deep, long breath, we swe])t down to meet it. The combat was finished liy the end of June. 1910. and a .ioyful shout went up when we learned we wcit victorio is. Right royally were our colors fl.ving as we bade each other farewell and separated to our different homes. Once again, in the fall of 191(1. with minds invigorated by the long rest, we met to continue our .journey. This time vf had need of a larger craft, for oiu- niunbcrs wci-e enforced by a large group of tho.se who were half in the 193 THE INSTANO 1912 TBg •liiiiiiir iiii ' l IimII ' in the MiddliT StrcMiii, tliiis lii ' ini; callcil Juiiior-Jliddlers. We |ii-ii c(l ;i iiiijrhty I ' liri ' i ' in jmsliing our Ixiat (inward. Till ' sti ' i ' aiii liad. durini; this part (li ' the journey, become rougher, for, with it.s nian ' angh ' s and cui-vcs, geouietry most rudely forced itself into our path and i|uitc a lew of our nunihcr upset and were ilrowned beneath the weight of the triangles and s(|uares which cruelly bore them down. But with our beautiful black and red Hag bri.skly floating in the bri ' c .e the tide bore lis on. Ve at this | oinl came in contact with the Seniors traveling landward for a hayridc, Xow. i|nite imi)ertinently. without our knowledge, they had hoisted tlicii- yi ' llnw and l)lack high in the air. trusting to fate that we should not see it. Ilul iiiir vigilant gu;ird discovered it and at once raised a hue and cry. Tnunedi- alcly each one sj)rang to his post and. boldly .sailing against the Senior skitf. care- h.ssly plucked their wa ' ing banners down and pas.sed them by with a ])itying smile. And so we had glided into the month of October, the beautifnl Indian Siun- mer. We decided to liave a little festivity and so made prepaiMtion to stop one night and, within the bowers of l{ec Hall, make our ajijx ' arauce in society. Accordingly the last Saturday of October wc canu ' to rest. Searching the forest for the brilliant autumn leaves and borrowing one or two Jack-o ' -]janterns from ,1 neiglil)oring farm, we proceeded to Kcc Hall. This, with our leaves and lanterns, wc transformed into the old-time enchanted forest, hile in various cornel ' s, the great corn shocks spoke of m.vsterious elves and witches. Festooned ai ' ound the chandeliers was the dear old I ' cd and black, and the soft redtlish light which it cast over everything added just the right touch to make one feel in a bewitched country. Never did music .sounil softer anil more alluring, never did hearts seem hafipicr! Svviftl. - the moments carried away the hours which have now become only memories, but memories so sweet that they will never be forgotten. But now the time had come when we must sail on again, so we put to sea. Keen, b!li.ig winds cd ' C ' a ' sar and Chemistry blew arountl us, but we drew our cloaks closer and stormed through them. One day. as we were sluggishly idling along, we .saw a dove floating in the airaboNcus. Ijooking (dosely we saw that it had an envelope in its mouth and that if .seemed to be trying to catch up with us. AVe anchored and waited to see what it would do. We ditl not wait long, for it swiftl.y floated downward and dr()p[)cd the eavelnpc which it had in its bill in our midst. Quickly the captain oj)cned the letti ' r and read, Each member of your crew ha.s been admitted to the 196 THE INSTANO 1912 j maj ranks which are to wage war this year against thuse valiant warridrs known as State Board Examiners. Prepare for combat at once. With that we gavr a niiglity cheer and sailed forward with all speed. One whole week we .spent in the contlict, each morning going at it with renewed vigor, and so well did we answei the shots of the State E.xaniiners that by the week ' s cud 11ii ' - wore (|iiilc fagged out. On the twenty-eighth day of June, the decisinn was gravely announced and loud were the whoops of joy when we learned that once again we had passed through the contiiet unscathed. When in September, 1011, we once more put forth for the completion of oiu- journey, we were Seniors. Two hundred and fifty some were there of ns, eai-li a strong, hearty warrior, ready to do any duty which fell to his lot in lln ' joiinn ' v. Proud, indeed, were we tlie first day we spent in iiilsnicting the ehildi ' fii |)laei ' d under our care in Model .scliool ; never will we foi ' gct our first pupils, nor the sen- sations we had when we first faced them. Surely that cold, clannny, nervous feeling did not — but hush, I must .speak of it no more. The time soon came around when we set landward for our ha -ride. Loy- ally did our Senior warriors work at hoisting the dear old Senior flag, which re- mained where they placed it, for not a Middler could summon up enough cour age to pluck it from its stronghold. The day for the hayride dawned bright and clear, and early in the morning we set off, .startling the birds and S(piirrels with our .songs and merry laughter. After a day of delightful enjoyment we turned seaward again and steered farfhei- on. As we went, we discussed whether we should or should not ]iul)lisli a book telling you all about our advenfui ' cs, giving you hints and jjointci ' s to help you along the way, and, lastly, having some memento for ourselves as a remembrance of the school days spent in Indiana. We decided we irovld ]iublisli such a book. We did, and you now have this Instnno, the second annual published by Indiana Seniors in the history of all the classes which she lias graduated. Do we not justly feel proud of it . ' It would take long to tell you of how wc enjoyed imr class sleigli rid( Ihe first ela.ss sleigh-ride Indiana has had for the past four or five years. I dare .sa we enjoyed it much more than the Middlers did theirs. Enough to say the harbor is now in sight, and we offer up a silent jiraser that there may be no shipwreck, that each member of llic vvi ' w. even though those round about him slumber, may remain strung in will To strive, to seek. t(j find, and not to ield. 101 THE INSTANO 1912 CLASS POEM BY MARGARET BERT Seated one winter evening, By my flre-plaoe. alone, I saw in tlie burning coals The friends thai I had known. I saw the red brick buildings. With many vanes o ' er-grotwn. I viewed again the North-door aiU, That massive, worn-down stone. I thought of the forty classes That had crossed that sill since we. And in fancy saw the boys and girls As they crossed continually. I pictured the scene at parting. Saw the black-robed girls and boys; 1 recalled ag ' ain their sadnesses And lived again their joys. There were noble aspirations Among that student throng, I wondered if their fulfillment Had helped to right the wrong. [ thought o ' f my own ideal. And that it was not yet won, That I had few years before me And might not see it done. 198 THE INSTANO 1912 y ■ 1 Then a falling ember roused nie. And the life I dreamed was run Is open still before me And the race has just begun. As each youth leaves an impress, Upon the old door-sMl, So each must trace his purpose. Be It for good or ill. . s I rose with the dream yet upon me And added fuel to the fire, I added to my ambition The fuel of desire. And resolved as the flames leaped upward That I ' d reach upward, too, And each day gain fresh courage For the work I hope to do. !!); THE INSTANO 1912 CLASS SONG BY ALICE TYLER Tune: Love ' s Oid Sweet Song To teaehers anJ to classmates dear. Whom we have loved so well while here, To Indiana ' s joy and fears We bid farewell through a mist of tears. Though we have struggled hard and oft despaired. Yet, unto us the victory is declared. CHORUS — Fare thee well, then, Normal, Friends and schoolmates dear; In your haMs, our voices You no more shall hear. Out into the wide world We shall soon be gone. From our Alma .Mater, Fate calls us on. Fate calls us on. Though we have gone, our memory will be. Of ' happy days that we have spent with thee. Of friendships formed which time can ne ' er efface And of faithful ones who helped us win the race. Our loyalty and love we give to thee To whom we owe whate ' er in life we be. 200 THE IXSTANO 1912 CLASS SONG BY SARA JONES Tune: Rivbensetin ' a Melody in F Now, as the Seniors of 19 ' 12, The class with spirit, — let us proclaim it, Sing we rejoicing with full-hearted courage Our Alma Mater ' s praise.

PLEASANT ATHLETIC COACH Franklin P. Mt. Pleasant, one of the best known athletes of the present day, was born at Niagara Falls, N. Y., of Indian parentage. He was, at an early age, sent to the Carlisle Training School at Carlisle, Pa., and spent a large portion of his life there By his great work he reflected much credit on this school and kept his name constantly ' before the pub- lic during his stay there. The great athlete is more or less a pro- duct, and Mr. Mt. Pleasant is no exception. Showing at first no extraordinary ability, by careful training and eonstant work he finally reached a rare state of perfection. A star at any game requiring physical strength — base- bail, football, track and basketball — he is in- deed a remarkable athlete. It is in foot ' ball and track work that Mr. Mount Pleasant is pre-eminent. On the track he is a sprinter, doing the hundred in ten seconds, the 220 iu twenty-two and two-fifth seconds, and a quar- ter in fifty seconds. His limit has never been reached in the quarter, as when he made his record he trotted across the finish. His hobby, however, is broad jumping, and in this event he made the 190S Olympic team. His longest recorded jump is twenty-four feet, four inches, but he did this in practice and not in a meet, his record standing at twenty-three feet, nine inches. During the games at Ijondon he was .greatly handicapped by a strained ligament, and the inclemency of the weather, which had a peculiar effect upon his nature. However, his real ability was shown in the games at Paris, where he won the broad jump, defeating Irons, the Olympic cham- pion, and establishing a new French record. At foot ' ball Mr. Mt. Pleasant is superb. All critics agree that in this style of game he is peerless. He can kick with the best, is a sure tackier, and gives an exhibi- tion of skill and headwork rarely witnessed. As a man, Mt. Pleasant is a frank, open- hearted gentleman, quiet and courteous. He is an artist on the piano and a great lovsr of music. He is exceedingly modest in regard to his athletic ability, and if you ask him about it, you will experience the famed taciturnity of the American Indian. To meet Frank Mt. Pleasant is to like him, to know him is to admire him: to live in the same little world with him is to appreciate his sterling qualities and his noble nature. 226 1—1 Q a OQ H O o THE IXRTAXO TtlgFU jcmt  ' -■ WILLIAM F. SMITH The football season of 1!)11 opened with seven of the 1910 eleven back in their old positions. Although Doiijilass. Crane. leCarter and Rufifner were sorely missed at first, the new material soon rounded into .shape and filled up the holes left by the four stars of 1910. With Capt. Whitey Smith as a nucleus, and Frank Mt. Pleasant as coach, the Normal team turned out to be one of the best of its class. In Capt. Smith we had one of the best leaders possible, outside of the larger colleges. Had Normal been in the scholastic class Smith would have been All-Scholastic fullback. Rheam and Gayley were considered the best pair of ends outside of the colleges and would also have been All-Scholastic men if Normal had been in that class. 228 THE INSTANO 1912 iM BV-w MALCOLM SMITH The whole line with the exception of Cochran, was of last year ' s men and with their year ' s experience together became a stonewall defense. The back field, with the exception of Smith, were all new men at Normal but experi- enced in football. Both White and Loughry were excellent ground gainers through a broken field and with Smith and Morrow as line plungers a better back field would be hard to find. The pro.spects for next year are very bright, as Margiotti will be the only one lost by graduation in tlie spring. 229 THE IN8TAN0 1912 INDIANA-KISKl GAME What makes the college youth give up The cigarette, the flowing cup?

We met teams representing the best schools in our class in Western Pennsylvania, and thanks to the thorough work of Coaches Frank Mt. Pleasant, the old Carlisle star, and McDowell, of W. J., the season ended with a very creditable record. 233  ga , INDIANA-BELLEFONTE GAME During the year, in nine games, we scored a total of 151 points. In return, 27 points were scored against ns. Of these 12 were made by the team from Wash- ington and Jefferson College. Indiana went out of her class in meeting this school, but the fact that we held them to so small a score on their home grounds, proves the quality of our team to be of the highest class. 234 THE INSTANO ' gj iiiw PRACTICE The following is an account of the games throughout the sea.son ; Sept. 25.

March 9th, was a big surprise to everyone. In the first place, Indiana men were nit in the same class with Carnegie Tech. University of Pittsburgh and Washington Jefferson College. This was unjust, as they should have run against Mercersburg. Pittsburgh High and other Prep. Schools. Before the meet no one considered Indiana as even worthy of notice. The 242 B£a THE INSTANO onl3- Pittsl)urgh paper which reeogiuzed the entry said. They may prove a dark horse. This editor .showed rare foresight, for the position at the end of the race was : Indiana Xonnal won; Carnegie Tech. second, and Pitt, third. The time for the race was 3:52 minutes, which was a new record for the indoor mih ' in Western Penns.ylvania. Crawford, one (if the fastest (|nartcr-milcrs in AVe.stern Pennsylvania, ran first for Tech. while Stnll ran liivst for Indiana. Crawford w,)n his quarter by about ten feet. W. J. was third, with Pitt fourth. From the .start the race was one l)et veen Tech and Indiana, W. J. and Pitt never having a look-in. Wilson ran .second for Indiana, and Yahres. a green man. represented Tech. Wilson easily won from him, but Lewis, who had a nnieh faster opponent, lost some ground. Brown, of Indiana, ran last and ran a remarkable quarter. He caught ilurphy, a Tech man. not more than fifty yards from the start, and gradually drew away from him, winning by about twenty feet. This relay won for Indiana the Inter-Collegiate champion.ship of Western Pennsylvania. The members of the team, Brown, Lewis, Wilson and StuU, were given their I. All of these, with the exception of Wilson in this race, won their letter for the first time. Indiana wa.s also well represented imlsidi ' of the relay. Wilson also taking a third place in the 60-yard handicap and White taking a second in the novice quarter-mile. 243 •J-WA-BCOWN-ie- William Foreman Coaches Wm. F.

The game was featured by the earn estness of the contestants and the good will with whieh everybody took the bumps. All the players went into the game for blood and a good many got it, as skinned knees and elbows were very much in evidence toward the end of the game. The floor was very slippery and this added to the amusement of the crowd, as it seemed to delight them immensely to see the staid old members of the Faculty. and the dignified Seniors. sprawling on the glassy tloor. The game, of course, re- sulted in a victory for the Seniors by a large score, the final count being 17 to 4.

These are the Normal Ili ' rald and the Sophist. The Normal Herald is a paper written especially for the alumni, to wiiom it is sent. It is edited om-e a term and contains a record of the doings of the school, written up in a very delightful manner. Such events as a society play, a class dance, a musical entertainment, or a faculty baby are given a place in the Herald and are th is made known to the old graduates who are scattered all over the c(nintrv. 270 s- THE INSTANO 1912 ■ — gfe SS a w ' Mi. v l, ■ ' 7aii i NORMAL HERALD BOARD Mr. John X.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES Take care to cultivate an undergrowth of small pleasures, since few great ones are let on long leases. —Old Proverb i.s .n.s.i9i2. MARY A. PARKER. RELIGIOU S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS In order to be an all-around man or woman, one must develop not only physically and nlentally. but also spiritually, lint in the school life, as in no other, one is prone, if unjTuidi ' d, to become a lo[)sided person. He will develo]i his mental or ])hysical sid( Init alack — the .spiritual is too often neglected. Indiana, a wi.se mother indeed, realized this; and in order to send out as teachers men and women who were all-aroiuid men and women, secured a eerti- ticate of membership from the State Association of Pennsylvania, July 21, 1897, and organized within her portaLs, not onl.y a Young Women ' s Christian Associa- tion, but also a Young ] Ien ' s. In 1906 a national charter was received by the association. By means of the two meetings held each week — Sunday and Thursda.y — the members of the organizations have a source of great spiritual ujtlift. By leading in thftse meetings, they are taught to be worth while leaders in the home. The social gatherings every now and then give one good ideas which ma.v be success- fully carried out in Young People ' s Gatherings, where Indiana ' s graduates are always expected to lead. % The well-furnished Y. W. C. A. parlor and reading room is a delightful haven, where one may betake himself whenever school hoiu-s are over, and settling in a comfortable rocker, with a weekly paper at hand, forget the da.y ' s cares and troubles. During the fall term, Bible stud.v classes are carried on, in the winter term, mission study classes, and in the spring, Bible stud.v is resumed. The Indiana booklets distributed in the fall term, aid materially in helping the new students to find out various little rules and reg dations which otherwise would be a source of great trouble to them. The Wliat-so-p]ver Circle, a branch of the Y. W. C. A., carries on work which the Y. W. C. A. cannot undertake. p]ach week they buy delicacies for the infirmary, occasionall.y they visit the Count,v Home, holding service there and cheering the poor inmates by the sight of fresh, happy, school-girl life. In fact they do What-so-Ever they can to help and cheer others. IMembers of the Senior class belonging to the Y. W. C.

The chapel was beautifully decorated In smilax and cut flowers, red carnat ' .oi s tied with red ribbon being on the Huyghenian .side of the rostrum, and white lilies tied with blue on the Erodelphian. The program was opened with Ainia Mater, sung by the members of both soo ' - eties. Then alternately until Mr. Gordon introduced the first speaker, the two sidas gave their cheers and yeUs. The cheeriu.i? was hearty and vociferous. The leaders were Willard Brown for the Huyghenians, and Joe Wilson for the Erodelphians. The judges for the literary numbers were Rev. ,lo,seph H. Baucman, D D,, from Washington and Jefferson College; Dr. John F. Bigler, of Edinboro, and Prof S. E. Downs, Superintendent of Schools, Latrobe. For the music numbere they were Mrs. John H. Miller, Director of Music, State Normal School, Bloomsburg; Mr. John Hepple Shephard, Director of .Music in the Mansfield State Normal School, and Prof. Bertram S. Webber, of Greensburg. The program was as fallows: Orchestra. Debate — Resolved, that the Latin and Greek languages and litertitiire.s are receiving more attention than they merit in American in.stitntions of learning.

On the affirmative side Margiotti and Gayley showed well that Latin and Greek were dead languages, pleading the need of efficient prepa- aration for life which can best be gained by a study of the sciences, mathematics and the mother tongue, not of the classics. They showed that the study of Latin and Greelc on account of the use of English translations, produced intellectual softness and was destructive to character. Both men spoke with ease and effectiveness. Mr. Trimble and Mr. Davis upheld the negative side of the question splendidly. They told of the great number of students who elected the classical course, when allowed to do so, an j of the necessity of a knowledge of the so-called dead languages in the study of chem- istry, applied science, history, and medicine. Mr. Margiotti in the rebuttal cleverly turned the points his opponents had made against them, controverting most of their theories. The decision of the judges was in favor of the negative, thus giving three points to the Huyghenians. In the vocal solos. Miss Parsons certainly displayed great animation and vivac- ity, while Miss .Tamison expressed well the tender feeling and emotion shown in the words of hor song. The decision was in favor of Miss Parsons, for the Huyghenians. Miss Lowrie ' s essay was delightful, and displayed her talent for vivid picturing, ' bringing before our minds the rich Oriental luxury and s inshine and perfume of Omar ' s Garden, the theme being the search for hap|)incss and the thorns and deserts we cross in the quest. The American Home. by Miss Lardin, showed earnest preparation and consid- erable depth of thought. She presented one of the most puzzling problems of the day and offered some well considered suggestions tor its solution. The stage presence of both -Miss Lardin and her opponent was unusually graceful and well poised. This point was won by Miss Lardin, for the Erodelphians. Though we all know Miss Remmy ' s talent in reading, we never before so much appreciated it. Her splendid expression and feeling made the audience thrill with ex- citement, enthusiasm, and tenseness of the runners in the ancient Olympic games, and, lor us, linked the past with the present in a way we had not thought of before. In Laddie, Miss Marshall told the tender, pathetic story of a wealthy son ' s em- barrassment at the arrival of his mother, a homely, countrified little body. Miss Marshall gave the emotional parts excellently. She certainly deserves praise for her splendid rendition of a most effective little story. Thi.? point went to the Erodelphian.s. Miss Treichler ' s piano solo, The Erl Konig. was played with considerable power. The different stages of the theme were flashed vividly before us — the father ' s midnight journey with his sick child, then the fateful leering face of the Elf King, and, finally, the father ' s despair at his realization of the child ' s death. The Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody. by Miss Genevieve Murray, was played beau- tifully, and showed a splendid touch, brilliant technique, and faultless expression. The decision was in her favor. Mr. Adams ' oration taught the sublime and peaceful influence of the night, the softening effect of adversity. The energy of his delivery and the grace of his stage presence were very telling. Mr. Carmalt ' s oration was a plea for efficiency, — that qualiity which makes the difference between a hero and a coward, a great soul and a little one. His thought and expression were excellent. The judges awarded this to the Erodelphians. Thus the closely fought battle went to the Erodelphians by one point. The highest grade given by any judge was 100 per cent for Mac Trimble; the highest aver- age grade, from the votes of three judges, was 98 2-?, for Miss Marshall. In announce- ing the decision of the judges. Dr. Ament commented upon the excellent self-control and ease of all the contestants and expressed his pride in the high quality of the work. Indeed, it was a contest of which any school might be proud. 2S6 ELMA TREICHLER PIANO SOLO LOUELLENSREMflY READING MERLE LOWRY ESSAY H MAC TRIMBLE DEBATE GEORGE E ADAMS ORATION - ■f LYDIAG PARSONS VOCAL SOLO THOMAS DAVIS DEBATE HUYGHENIAN CONTESTANTS LINCOLN DEBATING CLUB Joseph Wilson Owen Clowes Gladstone Carmalt George Adams Irving Fennell Robert Henry President Vice President ccrctarij Trcasurrr Censor Critic Wm.

The club seal was designed by ]Mr. Metheny. A Grecian figure represents the unity of the arts. She lights her lamp from the Divine fire which signifies the drawing of inspiration. A palm branch signi- fies Peace and Victory; a wreath, earthly honors, and a scorpion inside of th( wreath tiie stiiig that such honors contain. Ivy leaves typify death, to which art is superior; a Delia repre- sents perfection; a circle, the shape of the seal, symiiolizes eternity, star.s at the top of the design, ideals above and beyond our reach.

The night before tlu ' hay ride was an ideal one for preparations. Armed with buckets of paint, ladders, rope.s, haiuiers. etc.. the Si ' uiors started out to paint the i)lace. In spite of the fact that no .luniors were near enough to offer resislaiu ' e and that liill .lack did not favor such elabor- ate pre])arations, the Seniors managed to have a jiretty good time. The only thing to be regretted was the pocn- showing made by the .luniors. as there did not seem to ha enough ginger in the whole hunch to successfully cupe with a gang from first and second grades of the Model School. Since no Juniors were in sight there was nothing to do but jnit u]) the colors.

On account of the size of the class, it was rather difficult to find a place large enough to accommodate us. A nunilxT of places were taken u[) and discussed, but after considei ' ation it was de- cided that we should go to Homer City. Accordingly preparations were made in regard to sleds and that most important of all things, — the chicken and waffle dinner. The sleds were a little slow in arriving, hut when we were started we soon made up for lost time. When we arrived at Homer City we had a short dance before dinner. 300 ' THE INSTANO 1912 rcrsa, T « SENIOR SLEIGHRIDE 301 Tlir (liiuicr. ;iltli(iuf, ' li a little slow eoniing. ta.sti-d all thi- better to the liuniiry students.
