FOREWORD • HIS is the ninth vohinie of the Instano, the annual publication of the Senior Class of the Pennsylvania State Normal School, Indiana, Pennsylvania. The Instano was born in 1912, Avith Arthur M. Stull as Editor-in-Chief and Charles J. Margiotti as Business Manager. It has been published with varying degrees of success, every year since that time. The appearance of the Instano is somewhat different this year. We have greatly broadened the scope of the book, by taking in the entii ' e student body, asking for their hearty co-operation and interest to make the Animal a Scliool Annual in truth, with its publication in the hands of the Senior Class. We wish here to acknowledge the good counsel and invaluable aid given us by Dr. Keith. We can assure the Instano Staff of coming years that in our Principal, the Instano has a sponsor that has its l)est interests at heart at every time. We wish also to thank [iss Edna B. Smith foi- her kindly criticisms and constant help in the literary work of the book. We wish also to acknowledge the work of the Instano Board, various other members of the Senior Class, and the support given us l)y th ' other classes. Certain cir- cumstances liave made tlie publication of the Instano doubly difiicnlt this year. We shall make no apology for the work, but place it in your hands. THE EDITOR.

Jane E. Leonard, M. S., A. M. ANE E. LEONARD, the preceptress of our school, who comes of fine old Quaker ances- try, has spent her life as a student and tea- cher. Her work has been in the Normal Schools in Millersville and Indiana. She came to Indiana when the school Avas first opened in 1875, and has lived and Avorked here ever since. This has resulted in a great love for the school and the toAvn, such as is possible only to a life spent like hers. Miss Leonard has kept abreast of the times by as- sociating Avith ncAV teachers and others of learning and ideas. Scholarly people, edu- cators, and her old students make up a part of her wide acquaintance with people in many Avalks of life. She spends her summers at a school in Chau- tauqua, in travel or in some course of study, improving and groAving in mind. Miss Leonai-d has traA ' eled extensively throughout the LTnited States and Europe, and Avas planning a visit to Turkey, Greece and Palestine just before the Avar broke out. All the students highly esteem her and realize the i-ichness of her character and leaining. It is the Avish of the Senior Class of 1920 that she may have many more years of happiness and enjoy only the pleasantest memories of those Avhom she has most faithfully served.
