LL innovations must necessarily to sonic extent prove - defective. As the benefit of profitable experience is lacking, the fosterer of what is new and untried can only venture to sur- mise the probable result of his idea. For the first time in the history of the Keystone State Normal School a class book is issued in the shape of this volume, which we hope will be received with such interest as its contents may merit. We can not hope that it has reached perfection. Its deficiencies, we hope, will be corrected in the volumes sent forth by the classes that follow us, who surely will not fail to perpetuate this initiative. We trust our classmates will enjoy their own descriptions, as well as those of their friends, and preserve this book as a worthy memorial to the class of which they were a part. Finished, insofar as we can sec, we place this book in your hands, fellow-classmen, and dedicate it to the class of 1911, of which may every member prove a success and an honor to his or her Alma Mater.

(Tonk— The Vacant Chair.”) We are meeting ere departure, Soon we ll bid these halls farewell, Hut the thought brings joy and sadness As the parting tales we tell. Oft in days gone by we’ve gathered In the classrooms of this Hall, And the pleasant times we had here Will not pass beyond recall. Hut some gladness turns to sadness As the last farewell we give, Hut this sadness will not last long As outside these halls we'll live. If howe'er we meet our classmates, Let us think of Normal days, For 'tis here in Keystone Normal Where we learned some of life’s ways. Let us part but yet remember, We have gone but a short way, We have made but a beginning Though we labored day by day. May we ne'er forget that labor brings success to you and me, And rewarded by our Maker For good works we all will be. May the others who remain here Have strong wills to do the right; May they ever be courageous To do good with all their might. Now farewell, farewell to Normal, God speed us upon our way May his loving hand e'er guide us And direct us day by day. Ralph Otis Hibschman, ’ll. io Class Cfficers. ♦ Junior Scar. Chari.ics R.

All thoughts that would the age begin Deep down within the primitive soul, And from the many slowly upward win To one who grasps the whole. —Lowkll: An incident in a K. K. car. WIv, the great and glorious class of 1911, began our splendid career primarily in the year 1908. After leaving the parental shelter of our homes to soar into unknown intellectual regions, our first duty was to adapt ourselves to the new environ- ment opened around us. This was speedily accomplished through the “condescension” of the upper classmen, whose pride was soon “nipped in the bud” when the “initiation” process set in. About three months after the new school year opened, the first class meeting was called, which proved to be an important one. The business transacted partly consisted in uniting our- selves into a more compact body, electing class officers, and selecting class colors, the final decision being garnet and blue. During the fall and spring terms quite a number of delightful excursions were made to Crystal Cave under the chaperonage of different instructors. Crystal Cave is one of the greatest works of Nature and ranks as one of the greatest wonders in Penn- sylvania. During the year several interesting plays were given. The V. M. and V. W. C. A. gave an interesting one entitled: “Mary, Queen of the Scots.” The Keystone Literary Society also gave one in Keystone Hall, which afforded great pleasure and amuse- ment to both the new and old Keystonians, including their friends, as the title, “A Perplexing Situation,” proves. The appreciation of the audience more than rewarded the hard work of rehearsals. It was in the year 1908 that our splendid gymnasium, which ranks second in the State, was completed. In equipment and 12 excellency it is exceeded by none and we, as juniors, then tniddlcrs, and lastly, seniors, have enjoyed unbounded athletic advantages which we were not slow in recognizing. The most pathetic event of the year was an epidemic of “mumps, which broke out quite suddenly and greatly disturbed the intellectual peace of Keystone State Normal School. Hut the new Infirmary was completed that year, and the patients enjoyed comforts not accorded in the old Infirmary. The saddest event of the year was the death of one of the brightest students of the Junior Class; a young woman whose personality endeared her to all who knew her, and whose departure her classmates have not ceased to mourn. The year of 1908 passed only too quickly, and almost before we realized it we were confronted by examinations and the austere “State Board.” Luckily, most of us ran the gauntlet and sur- vived the ordeal and returned to our homes full-fledged tniddlcrs. Mary Etiiki. Ki-ndig. 1 .iDibble gear. New occasions teach new duties; time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth. I.owiiu.: The Present Crisis. PROBABLY the most important year at the Normal School is when the class is in the middle of the course. During this year the student begins to gather the material which he uses in his senior year and reveals his abilities and powers upon the merits of which is determined his official standing. His former education might be termed his common schooling. In the middle year he begins what is really his professional course. The class having become settled in the early part of Septem- ber, the old members began to renew old acquaintances and seek new ones among the large number of new students from the High Schools. A large number joined the class who had passed the examinations the previous spring, while several others came with the purpose of passing both the Junior and the Middle exam- inations the following spring. The latter were known as Junior- Middlcrs. The different societies went to work, and soon the new members of the class of 1911 were made active workers of one or the other. The class soon organized, chose its officers and selected «3 its class colors. The chief events which the class was able to take part in during this term was the Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving Day celebrations. When the firs sixteen weeks were over every one was glad to go home for a joyous Christmas. We all returned, however, at the beginning of 1910 following a furious snow-storm. It proved the beginning of a long and stormy winter, during which the students kept close to the building and put in a winter of hard study. At the cud of ten weeks we were all sent home on account of an epidemic of measles. After two weeks we returned, having spent our Easter at home, and began our spring work. During this term the V. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. chose their officers for the coming year and selected their representatives at the students' conventions held respectively at Northficld, Mass., and Granville, O. We labored through a series of beautiful spring days and rainy Sundays till finally we faced the examinations of Faculty and State Board. After some deliberation, all save a very few, were passed, and after the Commencement of the class of 1910, we went home as happy, hopeful seniors. FTEK successfully sailing through the channel of ordeal in June, 1910, we embarked upon the Senior Sea. Every member became transfigured and put on the aspect of seniority, leaving the shell of inferiority “by life’s unresting sea.’’ When the calendar again pointed to September 6th the vehicles of travel were gorged with a throng of students, whose eagerness to present themselves within the arena of intellectual activity was manifested by their rapid, as well as stately gait toward this institution. The first day having been set aside for enrollment, ample time was afforded for viewing Nature’s endowment to the adjoining grounds and for reflecting on what would be dealt out to us when the instructors made their appearance. The first evening was spent in greeting old and new acquaintances. Early the next morning the buzz of routine was inchoated by the ringing of the 7.50 tap. Thereafter, Physics, Cicero, Solid Geometry, History of “ Ed,’’ Literature, Grammar and Arithmetic determined the disposal of time. Throughout the fall term monotony was Frederick A. Sterner. jentor gear. relieved and recreation sought on the tennis courts, at the baseball grounds, and toward the end of the term in the “gym.” The crowning glory of the fall term was anniversary of the Philo- mathean Literary Society on November 19th. The lecture course greatly enhanced the accomplishments of this term. When December 23d was ushered in we all departed for a week’s vacation at home during the holiday season. On January 2d we retraced our steps to resume our work. Our “cards” showed that a heavy program awaited our attack. Whew! The winter term was short, but considered “tough. Basketball and other indoor athletics afforded amusement and recreation. The supreme accomplishment of this term was the anniversary of the Keystone Literary Society on February 11 th. A sense of grief pervaded the class when death removed from our midst Harry J. Bordner, one of our faithful students. Virgil, Geology and Trigonometry were pursued in the winter term. On Saint Patrick's Day we departed for a week's stay at home, and returned for the final dash on March 27th. The course of the spring term was a continuation of that of the winter term, but with additional pressure, especially during the last few weeks of review work. The features of the spring term were the Lecture Course, Ladies’ Bazaar, Students’ Recital, Baseball and Field Day. The Class Day exercises and addresses before the Alumni Association on June 20th and the Commencement on June 21st capped the climax. From this point and place this wonderful class of 191 1 proceeded on a tour of conquest and achievement. Unless frustrated by an adverse decree of the Fates this class will be regarded as a virtual embodi- ment of intellectual resources. Visions of the achievements of its illustrious members in the realm of thought are already skimming the horizon and casting their phantasmagoria upon the least sensitive scrolls of our imaginations. But may we ever ponder over and apply to our lives the following extract: I)o you cover learning's prize? Climb her heights and lake it. In ourselves our fortune lies; Life is what we make it. —Jambs Willis Wbstlakb. Stanley Nelson Coffin. 5 WlU.IAM Dl’NKUi AUTIIOUSK, R. I). No. 1, Leesport. When ilie electric taps rang on the morning of October 10, 1893, there was another suffering person in this world to turn over and yawn, •Oh, is it morning!” This blue-eyed boy won honors at the Leesport High School, and so papa sent him to Normal to polish him into even a brighter diamond. But, ever in his heart remained the thoughts of the electric taps that woke him that first morning. So, 0I1 glorious revenge, one evening he put the current out of commission. And, although “Willie” himself was extinguished for a week after that, we thought him a jolly, good fellow; and here’s to your success, brother “Bill.” Anna Mary Angstadt, ...... Kutztowr. The population of the thriving and interesting village of Kutztown was increased some time since the Civil War by the arrival of Anna Mary. When only a little tot she began going to school, and has been going ever since. She graduated from Kutztown High School in 1908, and then entered Keystone Stale Normal School. She always takes part in any home talent plays that are given in Kutztown. Her friends fondly believe that she will develop into a second Maude Adams. But, since this charming maiden dearly loves music, we hereby warn Josef Hoffman to look to his laurels. 16 Samuel Nathan Angstadt, K ut .town. Samuel Nathan Angstadt was born in Kutz- town on February 9, 1894. Samuel passed through the various grades of the Kutztown Public Schools until 1908, when he finished the High School course. Being a firm believer in higher education, Mr. Angstadt continued his education at the Normal, where he joined the Keystone Literary Society. Although not the tallest member of his class, he is well advanced in scholarship. Some people think that when Samuel first began teaching in Model the pupils thought a new pupil had enrolled in the Model School and their teacher for that period was late. Adah Julia Bachman, Lynnville. “Well, I declare, who is here?” Our little Addie,” sure enough! She is the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jonas W. Bachman. (), how happy her parents were, when some time before the blowing up of the battleship Maine, this little darling made her appearance into this beautiful wide world. She attended the public schools at Lynnville, from which she graduated in 1908. Since she is such an ambitious girl, she certainly would not be satisfied with only this much of an education; therefore, one bright, sunny day, Adah passed the threshold of our dear old Normal and immediately became an active Society and V. W. C. A. worker. Adah is very modest, but since she takes up the art of painting, she will no doubt some day paint the very picture of her worthy lifemate. Think about it, Adah! 7 Adam Richard Bachman, SchaefTerstown. During a hot clay of July, 1894, one, so called Adam, made his appearance in the village of SchaefTerstown, Pa. This chap grew up as the average American boy. After obtaining a “sheepskin” at the Heidelberg Township High School, Adam went in search of another, and has been looking ever since. He appeared at Kutztown, where he was branded as a 1911 man. He is a great tennis player, and frequently Adam’s melodious voice could be heard on the campus reminding his companions of the “square” game they were playing. Adam is sort of a talker, and undoubtedly when the round-up is made he’ll be a minister reminding men to play the “square” game. Paui. Aaron Bartholomew, R. D. No. i, Fullerton. “ Barty,” as he is known, came to live on old Mother Earth in the month of October, 1892. Catasauqua is his home, where he always loved to roam. His companions say that his boyhood was exceedingly interesting, and no doubt it’s true, since that was the case while at the Normal. He entered the school in the fall of 1909 as a middler. “Barty” proved to be quite an interesting character, since he may be called a “Jack-of all-trades.” He takes part in anything from heavy athletics to the more refined arts. In the spring and fall of 1910 he was the handy man between the second and third bags of the diamond, and during the winter months was a fast forward on the basketball floor, being cap- tain of the Normal Reserves. His motto has been Ncc scire fas esl omnia” and he believes in reservation of energy. “Barty” took great interest in Christian work, being a musical director in Y. M. C. A., devotional committee- man, and sent as a delegate to the Northfield Students’ Conference. May he continue his geed work. 18 Annii-; Alice Bear, R. I). No. 2, Hreinigsville. This strenuous young lady arrived too late to help in the destruction of Carthage, hut Seips- town was glad to have her when she did come. She taught young hopefuls in that town for four years, and then became a student at the Keystone State Normal School. She will very likely return here as “gym” teacher in a few years. It will be wise for the authorities to he sure that all apparatus is very durable and the windows well barred. Otherwise—well, Annie believes in the old adage, “Whatever thou doest, do with all thy might. Elmer Heydt Bechtel, .... “Got another!” He has high ideals because he roomed on third hall. He was born on Feb- ruary 17, 1884, in Washington Township, Berks County, being the son of Charles R. and Emma B. Bechtel, who then moved upon a farm at Landis’ Store. He began to attend school in 1889 in District Township, while Henry E. Kemp was teacher. He came to Keystone State Normal School for the spring term of 1901, and for the winter and spring terms of 1902, but then began to teach and taught successfully for seven years in his native county. He passed the “exams” for middler in the spring of 1909, and then continued his work at Normal. While here, he was an active member of the Keystone Literary Society, as also of the Y. M. C. A. He expects to follow the profession of teaching in the public schools of Pennsylvania. Landis’ Store. 9 Euzabktii Bki.i,, Morrisvillc. Elizabeth Bell gave her first yell at Morris- ville, Pa., somewhere between sunrise and sunset —not early—that’s the Civil War. The reason that Elizabeth speaks English so well is due to the fact that her father was born in England. Elizabeth attended the public schools of this place, and on graduating from the High School entered Keystone State Normal in 1910. She was a studious girl while here, and her favorite sports were tennis and ball throwing with several of her “affinities”—but, Elizabeth, who are they? She was a member of Keystone Society. Mabi:i. Kith Bi-ntiki.d, Emails. Our charming May Belle” made her debut one stormy night, January 13, 1892. Up to the age of half-past five she was tramping around her mother’s feet. Her mother got tired of this, so her worthy parents decided to send her to school. She started, therefore, in the public schools of Upper Milford Township, where she remained until she was eight. Now, her parents thought it best to migrate to the neighboring town, Emaus, and have their little Mabel con- tinue her work in the public schools of that place. They did so, and Mabel graduated in 1909. Of course, Mabel must become a teacher because it seems to be an inborn instinct of the Benfield family. vShe therefore came to the Keystone Stale Normal School in all her charming beauty, in the fall of 1909. Mabel is such a bashful girl that she wouldn't think of talking or even looking at classmates of the opposite sex. But Mabel will change her mind after she gets out teaching. She will find out how lonely she would be if—well, think the rest. 20 Cocalico. Alfred Crouse Bennetcii, In the latter part of the year, in the month of December, in the famous year 1890, a most welcome addition came to the world. He received his first education in a district school near West Reading. After residing in Lebanon County for some time, he came back to Berks County again and continued his education in the Sinking Spring Grammar School. He grad- uated from the Spring Township High School in May, 1909. He then entered Keystone State Normal School, where he joined the Philomathean Literary Society and Y. M. C. A. Alfred “the Great” became popular in his literary society by his “evolution speeches,” and through his excel- lent work, became an orator at their anniversary. He was known by all his comrades through his “grocery business.” He passed a Civil Service examination, and once decided to go to the Philippines to teach under the protection of the “Stars and Stripes,” but he changed his mind. Pity “Poor Alfred.” He is afraid to leave his D— alone for three years. He is also an excellent heavy-weight man. Daniel Berger, Strausstown. This human being showed its first broad smile on a warm June day in 1891 while Benjamin Harrison was in the President’s chair. But quite likely Benjamin Harrison never knew that on that day was born a youngster who would in the future be in the Government’s service. Nevertheless, Daniel is here and doing things. Daniel is an earnest worker, and would never refuse you a smile, even though Virgil kept him hustling. The opposite sex never worried him, since they were not attractive enough to draw his attention. There is hope for Daniel, and we wish him all possible success. 21 La Roy Cleveland Best, Neffs. This chap” made his first appearance in the year 1892 in Lehigh County, Pa. He grew up and advanced as boys will, although we know- very little of his boyhood. His later career becomes interesting more or less. In 1907 he got an idea that he’d like to have the experience of a High-Schooler,” and therefore entered the Whitehall Township High School. He was released from this school in 1909, carrying with him a sheepskin.” Later on he came to the Normal, where he identified himself with the class of 1911. He expects to make teaching his profession for several years and then settle in his cjuiet little home and live happy ever after- ward. Loretta Veronica Boyce, .... New Boston. Loretta made her appearance in this wide, wide world some time during the twentieth century. This young lady is, as we all know, a great reader. It was always a delight when she would respond when called on in Society, and, as a result, was one of the readers at the Keystone Literary anniversary. Loretta is a very studious girl; however, she is fond of writing letters. Careful, Loretta! It is not “Think before you speak, but look before you mail your letter.” Loretta, we think, will some day take up studies at a college, and we suppose it will be Medico- Chi. Why, Loretta! 22 Harriet May Boyer, “Smiling Hattie,” the daughter of Charles A. and Emma Boyer, was born at Trcxlertown, Lehigh County, in 1892. She attended the public schools there until 1903, when her parents took her to Tatamy, Northampton County. Here she attended the public schools until she entered Keystone Normal, where she became a member of Keystone Society. Hattie is well known by all of the day students, and no matter how the weather is, she always has a smile for everybody. If more of us would let that be our motto, as Hattie does, the world would seem a great deal brighter. Hattie expects to teach next year, and we all know that she will win the children’s love, the first session; for, as she and others before her have said, “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Edward Ambrose Brady, .... Edward Ambrose Brady claims Minersvillc, Schuylkill County, as his home since December 7, 1892. He was educated in his home town until during his sophomore year at High School, when he decided to continue his mental develop- ment at the Keystone State Normal School. At this place he was a member of the Keystone Literary Society. In the fall of his senior year Edward played a fine baseball game in center field, but the next spring he decided to drop base- ball on account of his other work. He wishes to enter University of Pennsylvania to finish his school education after leaving the Normal. “Ed” comes from among the coal regions, but he takes interest in the Berks County Field and Play Picnic founder’s daughter. He always thinks of “Rapp” when he knocks at the door while visiting. He is always welcome. 23 Rowland Wii.bur Brown, R. D. No. i, Weissport. On that fair May morn, Rowland Wilbur was born. Who would think that Carbon County could produce a V. M. C. A. president? Weatherly has the honor of his presence as a youngster, but Weissport claims him now. Weiss- port High School will ever be proud to say that he graduated from her school. lie received the mantle for our class from 1910 class. Me expects to teach, which is due, we think, to his great love for the “youth’' of this land. He expects to enter college after teaching and specialize in the natural sciences—botany, of course, as he used to study violets and other “specimens” along the well-beaten path to the “cross-roads,” and zoology, for he studied the birds on the large campus. It is no joke that Brown is not altogether free from Cupid’s dart, as we used to think, for his favorite article in conveying food is the spoon (Spohn). He has our best wishes for success, and we think we already see him as a professor in some college. Yes, Rowland, your Alma Mater will be proud ofj'you. He was a faithful member of Philo. Helen Katherine Buck, • . . . . . . Catasauqua. Helen Katherine Buck, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Buck, first saw the light of day at Shelley, Bucks County, Pa. After enjoying exceptional popularity among her childhood companions, which was due to her sunny dis- position, she entered the grade schools of Cata- sauqua, from which she graduated in 1909. Following her graduation she passed the examina- tions to enter the Middle Class at the Keystone State Normal School. Here, both in her classes and among her classmates, she has always displayed that sunny disposition which for- tunately cropped out in her childhood. She, no doubt, is a strong advocate of the adage, Laugh and the world laughs with you.” After her graduation from this institution, Miss Buck expects to make teaching her profession. She is a member of the Keystone Literary Society. Best wishes for success and continuation of that beneficent smile. 24 Emory Adam Buffington, When the bugle sounded the You can't get ’em up,” on the cold bitter morning of December 24, 1889, there was a new voice to answer to the roll call and one more entry to be made in the log-book of the Buffingtons. This bright-eyed Emery first saw the light of day in Valley View, Schuylkill County. 1 le attended different schools of that j)lace, also was a student of Ilegins High School. In 1908 he came to Keystone State Normal, joined Keystone Society, and, as a result, was an anniversary speaker. His future has been predicted as a bright one, as he expects to be a civil engineer, and we trust that lie will be at the head of his chain. Florence Mildred Christman, Here comes Florence Mildred Christman, the giggle of New Building. This young lady made her advent into this world at the insignificant place of Host about twenty-three years ago. Her giggle is always heard, and the girls declare she has an abscess on the brain. I11 connection with her giggle she is a great fuss, changing her dress at least six times a day. At present Floss” is afraid that she will not get up town in the evening in time to play tennis with Patty.” 25 Pai'i, Sikc.fried Christman, Weisenburg. This rosy-cheeked boy began his career in New Smithville, November 15, 1S91. He received his preliminary education, first at his own school, then in our Model School. His course of higher training was started when he entered the first E Class in our building. He is a good-natured and kind-hearted youth. He is strong and robust, being the product of the farm. He is a member cf the Philo Literary Society. He professes to become a modern educator, to which attainment we wish him success. He proposes to teach a number of years, after which he hopes to widen his sphere of knowledge by an elaborate course in college. Stanley Nelson Coffin,.........................................Walnutport. “Well, well, does my nose deceive me!” Here is cousin Stanley. He is the son of Erwin Franklin and Sula Agnes Coffin, and was born at Slatington on April 3, 1891. He was wheeled to Lchighton by his parents in 1893, where he made his home until 1894. By this time he was able to toddle after his father to Walnutport, where he has resided ever since. He entered the Lehigh Township Public Schools at Walnutport in 1897, and graduated from the High School as valedictorian in 1908. He was successful in three successive provisional examinations held by Supt. Grim at Easton, and received three certificates, the last one of which was the best in the whole class of ninety teachers. He taught school at Lockport from 1908 to 1910, and entered the Senior Class at the Keystone State Normal School in the autumn of 1910. Stanley is a member of the Philomathean Literary Society, the Y. M. C. A., and the Ath- letic Association. He is an excellent musician, both vocal and instrumental, and is by no means as dead as his name would signify. He possesses a dignified appearance and is constantly looking for his playmate S—. After all roads have ceased to lead to Monterey he will become a very efficient and successful educator. 26 Lulu May Confehr, Schuylkill Haven. Lulu was born at Auburn, Pa. Here she spent the first two years of her life. The Confehr family then went to Schuylkill Haven, where they have dwelt ever since. She went through the Schuylkill Haven Public Schools, and graduated with honors in 1909. The following autumn she entered the Normal School. She was a member of the Missionary Committee of the V. W. C. A. and a delegate to the Summer Conference at Granville, O. Miss Confehr is an awfully quiet little girl, except at home. She had originally intended to be a musician, but when pianolas had come into vogue she decided to become a schoolteacher, for she says it is easy to compete with a person, but she won’t with a machine. She is an excel- lent entertainer among the girls, but is stern, cool and monosyllabic among the gentlemen. We hope Lulu will be persuaded not to carry out her intentions to teach the rest of her life, but will do as her other sisters and make some lonely fellow happy. Clare Smetzer Cressman,..................................Pleasant Valley. Clare Smetzer Cressman was born in Pleasant Valley, Bucks County, Pa., on October 16, 1892. She takes great pride in her old historical home, for it was there that Lafayette spent the night when returning from Bethlehem Hospital, where he had his wound treated. Clare attended the Pleasant Valley School, and in 1908 graduated from the Springfield Central High School. In the fall of 1909 she entered Keystone State Normal as a middler. Here she became a member of the Philomathean Literary Society, and derived much pleasure from its weekly meetings. After teaching school for ten years, Clare expects to live a life of ease and luxury, for teachers are always fortunate enough to accumu- late a vast pile in that time. 27 Charles William Dankkl. Macungie. Some time after the great Louisiana Purchase our widely known “Charlie” first made his debut into the beautiful town of East Macungie.. From h s early school life we learn that he graduated from the Macungie and Emaus High Schools with highest honors. He felt rather elated of the fact, so he thought he might just as well migrate to the great Keystone State Normal and show them also what he could do. He has shown himself very ambitious, and therefore hope he will accept our heartiest congratulations. He tells us that he will teach a public school for a few years, but we think he ought to have some higher ideals. Maybe his classmates will be startled by becoming aware of the fact that our “Charlie” has at length reached his highest ideal; namely, President of------. A: “M she In cam a v She still it hea' ciall whe ures read Gertrude Dankel, Macungie. Well, here is one of those students that roomed on the west side of the building, and, as far as we know, she is called Gertrude Dankel, the daughter of William K. and Rebecca E. Dankel, being born on September 14, 1890. She attended the public schools of East Macungie for nine years, graduated from the Emaus High School in 1907, and took a post-graduate course at the same place. After that she taught successfully for two years in her native township in Lehigh County, Pa. In the spring of 1910 she entered the Keystone Slate Normal School as a middlcr and graduated from that institution in 1911. Miss Dankel believed in “Labor conquers all things,” and, as a result, was one of the good students in the class of 1911. She belongs to that class to which we have so often referred, “ I expect to teach school,” and should she do so, we arc certain that she will be successful.

Davis, commonly known as Mellie,” was born in Schuylkill County, where she attended the public schools for nine years. In 1908 she moved to Brooklyn, and in 1909 came to this Normal School as a “special” with a view of becoming a trained nurse later on. She afterward took the regular course, but is still in hopes of carrying out her original purpose. “Mellie” is very much interested in the heavenly bodies, and loves to gaze at them, espe- cially from a certain window in Society Hall, where the view is grand. Another of her pleas- ures is library work. In this she is always ready to lend a helping hand. Maude Elizabeth DeRone, 1241 Turner St., Allentown Maude Elizabeth DeRone claims Easton as her birthplace, but received her public school educa- tion in “Peanut town.” Maude always did like trolley rides, so after one year of High School work, she decided to take the Normal course at the Keystone State Normal School. Her rides, both morning and evening, have stamped their result on her, for she is one of the tallest girls in the Senior Class. Maude has taken great interest in her dear Philo. Three years of work at the Normal School have made Maude ready to take her place in that rank of workers who call them- selves “school ma’ams.” 29 Saha Elizabeth Detwilbr, R. D. No. i, Phoenixville. One sunny morning a very modest little girl appeared in the home of John T. Detweiler, near the village of Kimberton, Chester County. This was Sara Elizabeth. She attended the public schools of that place and graduated from Phoenix- ville High School. She entered Keystone State Normal in 1908. Sara is a very noisy girl; though she is small in stature, she will make a good “school inarm.” This little maiden took to water like a duck, and was faithful to her shower. She is a member of Philo Society. Flora Ellen Dietrich, Lenhartsville. In 1892, on that noted date, February 12th, there was born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry 0. K. Dietrich, near Lenhartsville, a child whom we now call Flora Ellen Dietrich. I11 1898 she entered the Greenwich Township Public School of her district, but in 1902, and for three years thereafter, attended at Virginsville. Then think- ing that there was no place like home she returned to Lenhartsville, where she graduated in 1906, but continued her studies until she entered Keystone State Normal School, where she has been for ten terms until her graduation on June 21, 1911. Miss Dietrich took an active part in the Y. W. C. A., being a member of the Devotional Committee and also a Bible Band student. She expects to teach in her native township. 30 Anna Elizabeth Ebert, This brown-eyed maiden made her appearance in this world at Monterey, Pa., in the old home- stead of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ebert. When about six years old she was seized with a desire for knowledge, so she set out for Ilotten- stein’s Public School, and took the complete course. She then entered the Keystone Normal as a day student. Here in her senior year, she joined the Philomathean Literary Society, for she was very much interested in literary work. Although in the best of health, Anna has already chosen her “Coffin,” and we all congratu- late her for her good taste and judgment. Monterey. Gertrude Blanche Dilzer, Douglassville. Either during darkness or daylight, some time during the latter part of the nineteenth century, the stork handling with great care, for he carried a treasure, left at the Dilzer homestead, a Ger- trude, who has ever proved their jewel. She has been ambitious, and forceful but cool, cal- culating rather than enthusiastic. Her calm nature will help her to be very proficient in mak- ing a happy home life for some one. She attended Pottstown High School, then taught school in Berks County for two terms, and some little cherubs yet remember their first teacher. While at Normal, she served as vice-president of the V. W. C. A., and was a delegate to the Students’ Conference at Granville, O. She expects to again take up teaching next year. 3i Elsie I rune Edwards, Allentown. This brilliant young woman was born in Allen- town, the date of her birth being unknown. She left that city to go to the more learned vicinity of Easton, taking with her a bushel of peanuts which were the first introduced in that place.' The wealth of Pittsburgh attracted her to that city, but the excessive smoke drove her to Read- ing. Disliking pretzels she migrated to Lewis- town, on the romantic banks of the “Blue Juniata.” She graduated from the High School at that place, and then taught for two years. Again she returned to her native town, and then came to the Normal School, where she has com- pleted the regular course and the business course. She is a member of the Philomathean Literary vSociety. Company is always sought by her, but she is very much afraid of “ June bugs.” As she is so weighty a subject, a book could be written about her ; but on account of limited space only this much can yet be said; viz., that she will be a schoolteacher for several years, after which she will become a Duchess. Edith May Emerich, Schuylkill Haven. 23 ! This virtuous young lady was born at Schuyl- kill Haven, and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Emerich. She graduated from the High School in 1909, delivering the salutatory address at commencement. The same year she entered the Middle Class at the Keystone State Normal School. She was a member of the Intercollegiate Committee of the Y. W. C. A. and a member of the Philomathean Literary Society. Edith is a very active church worker and can be found connected with all things that pertain to Christianity. She will probably add a few inches to her stature, and then she expects to hold her head a little higher. For several years she will teach school and write letters, thus sending cheer to the lonely. However, we are sure that no matter where she gets, her everlasting smile and her interest in church affairs will result in an inval- uable amount of good. 32 Beulah Rothermel Engle, Beulah is the fair and buxom daughter of the late George and Mrs. Clara Engle. For once twenty-three did not do justice to its odd asso- ciations, for this blonde was born on that date in the month of October. Her first home was at Reading, but southern climate not agreeing with Beulah, at the age of seven, her parents took her to Altoona. Here she went to school until the High School was reached, when she thought she would rather finish her education at some more important place, and thus at the age of fourteen moved to Kutztown and soon became a member of the Junior Class at Keystone Normal. Beulah seemed to know a good thing when it came along, for she joined the Philo- mathean Society the Saturday after she entered the school. She has always been active in school affairs, but has shown a great deal of partiality to Muhlenberg College, and often wished it were possible for her to spend her school days there. Iier present intentions are “to teach for a time.” Elsie Norma Erb, ..... The town of East Greenville was in its height of glory when a nice little baby girl was born to Elmer and Agnes Erb. Knowing that the good Lord had sent her into the world for accomplishing something for the good of “mankind,” she attended the native schools until she graduated from High School in 1908. Then she attended Perkiomen Semi- nary, but Keystone State Normal School seemed more attractive to her, and so she landed there. Elsie is a good student and is worthy of being in this Senior Class. I11 order that she may rest her mind after classes, she could be seen going down town after classes with “Sallie” by her side. She expects to make teaching her future profession, but we think that, for some reason or other, there is no fear that she will ever be pensioned for teaching school. 33 Helen May Esser, Kutzt own. Harr There was great excitement in the little village of Kutztown on July 7, 1893, hen it was learned that Helen May Esser had made her appearance Helen had come to stay. She attended the public schools of that place, and on graduating from the High School in 1908, she was convinced that it was Normal for her. So Helen ambled slowly into Keystone State Normal’s honored halls. Helen was a studious girl and is some- what musical. We predict for her, when she graduates and enters the cold world, the greatest success as a leader of women, in whatever line she may decide to follow. Good luck go with you, Helen. She is a member of Keystone Society. Hat pet he 1S91 • east atten( lander hard place Hat ing as music; the ini the m resona year o two ai day in Jennie Henrietta Fenstermacher, .... Siegfried. Kathi One line day, in the little Pennsylvania Dutch town of Siegfried, a little baby opened her pretty blue eyes and smiled. Who else could it be than Jennie Fenstermacher. She attended the Northampton High School, and then drifted to Keystone State Normal School. Jennie is a diligent student, and besides taking the business course and belonging to the orchestra, served as a speaker at Philo anniversary. But Jennie is most wonderfully fond of psychology, especially the part that treats of “Will.” Jennie expects to teach, and we may safely predict a brilliant future for her.

Fetherolf, was born in Atchison, Kan., March 6, 1891. When still very young she was hauled cast and deposited in Kempton, Pa. She attended Kistler's Valley School, and finally landed at Keystone Normal. Here she worked hard for three years, and is now ready to take her place in the world as a “school inarm.” Hattie is very musical and is constantly sing- ing as she meanders through the halls. Of all musical sounds her favorite is those caused by the instruments of the plumber. She can detect the musical tones even without the use of a resonator. Her chief desire, after teaching a year or two, is to live in a little cottage built for two and listen to “the plumber’s” instruments day in and day out. K. D. No. 1, Kempton. Katherine Seville Fistbr, Katherine, the daughter of Daniel Wolff and Mary Anna Fister, was born at Williamsport, Fa. She attended the public schools of Pough- keepsie, N. Y.; Atlantic City, N. J., and Phila- delphia, Pa. She then moved to Reading and attended the Reading High School for a short time. At present she is living in Tamaqua, and is a student at the Keystone Normal and a member of the Keystone Literary Society. Katherine is a lover of beauty, and loves to stroll along on the campus, watch the lovely' sunsets, or play ball. She is a member of the ”• G. A. section in gymnasium work, and is a star in jumping the horse. Tamaqua. 35 Bertha Merkel Fox, Lyon Station. Bertha, the daughter of Benjamin B. and Ellen Fox, was born in Fleetwood, Pa., in 1891. She attended the Fleetwood Schools and gradu- ated from the High School at the age of 14. Her philosophical mind was not quite saturated, so she came to Keystone State Normal School. Berthas chief delight is to talk on abstract subjects. In order to improve in this art, she joined Philomathcan Society; but that her body might not be sacrificed for her mind, she also became a member of the M. U. G. section in Physical Culture. She now feels entirely capable of scattering the seeds she has gathered, and will do so next year in a little school-house filled with children. Charles Reuben Fox. R. D. No. r, Meriztown. Charles is the son of William B. and Sarah A. Fox. He began his debut on a farm about two miles south of Mertztown. He received bis preliminary culture in the public schools of Longswamp Township. In 1907 he passed from the public schools to the Longswamp High School, from which he obtained his diploma in the spring of 1909. He is a progressive agri- culture student, and ever since he entered in the spring of 1909, he has kept his eyes and ears open to learn something new about farm life. If you doubt his ability as a farmer, just ask him and he will quickly tell you. He is an active member of the Keystone Literary Society. Whether Charles becomes an educator or a farmer, we all wish him success. Ralph Strunk Frymoyer, Molmton. “Fry” was born on March 28, 1892, in Spring Township, near Adamstown. He attended the public schools of Adamstown, Pa.; Waterloo, N. Y., and Molmton, Pa., graduating from the last named in 1909 as president of his class. He entered the Keystone State Normal School and became an active member of the Y. M. C. A. and Athletic Association, the latter being his most pleasing field of work. The Athletic Association elected him vice-president, and he played forward on the Varsity basketball team. He was a member of the Philomathean Literary Society, serving as president, chaplain, and treasurer. Being a good protector of money bags, he was entrusted with the treasurership of the class. Ralph is very popular among the fellows. One reason for this may be that he always keeps out of their road, as lie always walks close to the walls when going through the halls. He is very studious, and is “early to bed and early to rise.” He expects to teach for a short time, after which he will retire. Valeria Claire Geiger, Valeria Claire Geiger, commonly known as “Vallie,” was born in Birdsboro, where she attended the public schools and graduated from the High School. She then entered the Keystone Normal School, became a member of Keystone Literary Society and chairman of the Devotional Committee of the Y. W. C. A. “Vallie” is very popular among her classmates, and is claimed to be the “best hugger” in the place. She is very fond of music, and possesses a natural musical instrument which no one else around here can claim. Everybody is charmed and carried away by her whistling. T 'o years she expects to teach, and by the end of that time we all expect to hear and read a great deal about “Whistling Vallie.” Birdsboro. 37 Lucy Genevieve Gerner, Royersford. This talented young lady was born at Royers- ford, September 25, 1890. At the age of ten she followed the family to Lansdale, but they finally returned to Royersford, where they have resided ever since. She completed the course in the Royersford Public Schools, and afterward entered the Keystone State Normal School and will soon satisfy her desire to become a school- teacher. Lucy is a member of the Philomathean Literary Society, and has distinguished herself both on the platform and in office. Her chief delight is to run and skip when nobody is watching. She says she wants to be an old maid, but when the reporter asked her what her intentions were for the future, she musingly replied: I expect to teach for a number of years, live with my parents and try to make them happy.” A noble purpose and a worthy aim. But, mind you, she says, for a number of years.” Perhaps by that time our brilliant young orator from Schuylkill County will be Representative in Congress, and Washington will certainly be an excellent place to live inland try to make somebody else happy. Eva Ruth Grammes, ....... Trexlertown. Eva, a blue-eyed little cherub, and daughter of Jeremiah and Mary A. Grammes, opened her eyes to the light of this world in the year of 1891 in Trexlertown, Pa. Never was there a ‘‘cuter’ Child than little Eva. At the age of six years Eva began to attend the public school at Trexlertown, and continued to do so until she came to Keystone Normal School as a day student. . . One of Eva’s chief pleasures is car riding, another is experimenting with mirrors. er) often she was noticed in the cloak room standing before the mirror studying something that seemed to be behind it. Of course, she was trying to find the principal focus. Eva is a member of the Philomathean Literar) Society, and takes great delight in the wee ) meetings. Next year she expects to teach schoo somewhere in her own county. 38 Reid Martin Graybiix, Hast Petersburg. This specimen was found in East Petersburg in October, 1892. It is the only one of its kind, and is considered a rare chestnut. Because his parents were greatly pleased at their find, they sent him to two Normals and one Prep. First he went to Millersville Model for one year; then to the Normal for two years; after that to Yeatcs for a year. Feeling that he needed space to spread and grow, his doting parents sent him to Keystone State Normal School, where he is nobly striving to fulfill their expectations. He will graduate with the brilliant 1911 class. He will no doubt make his mark in the professional world, although his motto is, “Never allow studies to interfere with your education.” His hobby is ponies. lie rides well. Paul Benjamin Green awald, R. D. No. 2, Fleetwood. Paul Benjamin Greenawald came to this planet from Jupiter in the golden days of September and landed in Berks County, where he received his first education in knighthood at Windsor Castle in the same county. At the age of six, he placed his plump, little hand in his fathers and marched away to public school. Paul never created any trouble for his teachers, so we hope his pupils will never make any for him. Like his apostolic namesake, he has not reached a very high stature; but judging from his work in Philo Society and in Normal School, he will follow in the footsteps of his namesake and rise intellect- ually and spiritually since he can not physically. His punctuality and faithfulness will win for him a place among the truly great men of the age, for “only the good are great.” 39 Alma May Greulich, East Greenville. Hats off, gentlemen, here comes Alma Greulich, the charming child of fortune, so intelligent and so determined to make a mark in the world. She tells us that after teaching a few years she intends to become a trained nurse. But we have heard that one of our classmates loves to have Alma’s fair name deeply carved on Easter eggs and present them to her at the appropriate season. She, for her part, prefers the name of king in Latin; so here’s to you, fair queen. Herman Shellenberger Gulich, .... Perkasie. “ Julick”- was born in Perkasie, June 6, 1891. He attended the public schools in that place until 1908, when he entered the Normal School. Greatly interested in athletics, he has made an excellent showing on the Varsity basketball team and on the “diamond.” He is a member of the Y. M. C. A. and an interesting Bible student. In the Philomathean Literary Society he has developed a deep sonorous voice, and is an orator of no mean ability. Herman loves lemonade and can make a most delicious drink. In appearance, he is a typical Roman and believes in things that are strictly utilitarian. His graceful walk is the sign of a man who hits the ground firmly, yet not too loudly to be heard- Herman will enter the profession of teaching and may some day be a great ball player. 40 Edith Ruth May Hafer, 152 Clynier St., Reading. Edith Ruth May Hafer, one of the fair maids of “Pretzel town” with her chestnut locks, has never boasted of being a giant, and she seems rather small to carry four names, so what will the poor child do when she will take another? We would advise her to take a short one. Edith graduated from the Reading High School, and while at the Normal School, she was a member of Keystone Literary Society, the Euterpean and the choir. She was a very energetic and jolly girl, all due to her great interest in all kinds of athletics, especially tennis and skating (riding ponies not included). We hope she will some day travel abroad, for with the regular course, she studied German and French. Edith will teach, and from her practices at Normal we decide she will lay great stress on color lessons, as she greatly favored “buff” color. Her small body is capable of doing wonders, and her brilliant mind with all its ambitions will not end at Normal School training, for she expects to enter college and specialize English (if she doesn’t change her mind). Stella Claire Main, Wcrnersville. This accomplished young lady is Stella Claire Haiti. She came up through ungraded schools and Wcrnersville High School to an exalted position among the students of Keystone State Normal School. We used to think that through association Stella might become a famous basket- ball player, but (!) Never mind, Stella, remember the saying about the fish in the brook. Stella was a true Philo and was always so anxious to help along any good work that needed a faithful worker. Stella (Chauncy) will teach near the South Mountain and a Philadelphia College will be honored by her presence for a time, but she will not always be a student—she is far too graceful; she will reign supreme in some castle, a� d not outside of Pennsylvania, either. 41 Oscar David Henry, Jacksonville. “O. D.” was born in Jacksonville on September 30, 1891. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Henry. Like his famous ancestor, he has failed to procure a surname, and is known simply as Henry. He attended the public schools at his home from 1898 to 1908, and afterward entered the Keystone State Normal School. Oscar is a member of the Philomathean Liter- ary Society. Some think he is bashful, but “be ye not deceived.” He is passionately fond of sacred music and loves to imitate an organ- grinder. He is a born humorist and has decided opinions on certain psychological questions, having been usually found meditating on these subjects in the country about twenty minutes before breakfast. He is stern in his teaching and says there should always be perfect quietness. A loyal patriot, he wears an American flag in the crown of his straw hat. Some day we will find him in college continuing his studies. Mean- while, he will devote himself to education, where we may expect this persistent, determined worker to be eminently successful. Ellen Salome Hermany,...................................................Jacksonville. There was great rejoicing in this burg some time after the Goths invaded Italy, for Ellen Salome announced that she had come to stay. To keep her from quite upsetting this peace- loving village her parents sent her to school. When she found that she had imbibed all the knowledge available in that place, she came to Keystone State Normal School crying for more. Here her favorite studies are sociology and tennis. Sometimes she takes both at once. She plays tennis very well, but is easily tired out, so she has to stop and rest often. Her opponents never object because—well, because—they know it s for the good of her health. 42 IvSTIvLLA DBYSHER HERTZOG, Estella became the joy of Alfred and Mary Hertzog, of Eshbach, Pa. She attended the schools around her home, and then entered the Keystone State Normal, where she remained for four years. In this time she became a member of the Y. W. C. A. and of the Keystone Literary Society. In the winter term of 1910 she joined the band of strikers and spent several weeks of ease and luxury in a comfortable little building known as the Infirmary. Estella intends to teach after this year, but only until something better walks in her path. One day when reading the paper she came across a certain marriage, and for several weeks her face told a talc of woe. Then she was kindly informed of the fact that this young man was not her favorite, but another with the same name. All the sunshine was restored to her face, and she is again happiness personified. Ivy Saltzer Hertzog, Ivy, the daughter of William and Sarah Hertzog, was born at Eshbach, Berks County, Pa. She attended the schools in her township for some years, and then entered Keystone State Normal School. Here she became an active member of Keystone Literary Society, where she held several offices. Ivy is very fond of sailin’ (Salen), and is very apt to sail among the juniors, and thus become disloyal to her class. 43 Grace Elizabeth Hess, Shenandoah. “Blondy” Hess was bcrn at Shenandoah, Pa., March 16, 1892. She received her early educa- tion in the public schools of Shenandoah, and graduated from Shenandoah High School as valedictorian in the class of 1910. She entered the Keystone State Normal School in 1910 and made rapid progress. As a member of Keystone Literary Society, she became popular on account of her abilities as a speaker, and had the honor of being a speaker at the last anniversary. After leaving the school she expects to teach, an art which, in her eyes, is the greatest of all professions. Grace is very fond of outdoor sports, especially tennis. She causes a great deal of jealousy when playing with her opposite “Blondy,” and wear- ing his ring. Another of her delights is to take long country walks and then rest her “aching feet” under a cool, shady tree. Ralph Otis Hibschman, Strausstown. Ralph Otis Hibschman was introduced into this waiting world of ours at Rehrersburg on November 13, 1892, which was a very unlucky day. After he had successfully “bluffed” his way through the schools of Rehrersburg, he changed his habitation to Strausstown. Here he graduated in 1906, and later on attended the schools of Reading. Pie now had developed some common sense and came to the Keystone State Normal. There he became a “manly” fellow, and the Y. M. C. A. sent him to Northficld as a delegate, where he might learn more of that which makes a boy a man. He was very popular among the men, and especially among the ladies, letting alone one special individual in whom he took especial interest. Tennis is a splendid game, alph, but Philo’s and Keystone’s always make a splendid match. 44 Raymond Elmer Hollenbach, Sacgersvillc. Well, here is another one and he says that he hails from Saegersville, Lehigh County, Pa., having missed New Year’s Day of 1893 only by three days. He attended the common schools of his native place for ten years, graduating in May, 1907, at the head of a class of fifteen. The following summer he attended the Schnecksville Summer Normal. I11 the fall of the same year he attended the school at his home again as a post-graduate. On August 31, 1908, he entered the Junior Class at the Keystone Normal School. He was one of the Commencement orators, and is a member of old Philo. Ray,” although being a close student in botany, seems to be a closer student of zoology, and we think that he has some reasons for doing so. We all believe that when Ray” gets out into the world, he has strength enough to throw forth strong rays of light and to be successful. Marguerite Rockafellar Holmes, 214 North 15th St., Harrisburg. Marguerite Rockafellar Holmes, or our Margie,” a daughter of the “Sunny South,” was born in Chattanooga, Tenn. She has been cpiite a traveler, going over hill and dale, tasting the homelifc of New Jersey, Boston, and, at present, Harrisburg, Pa. She graduated from the Harris- burg High School. Her political ideas ran in the agricultural line, so she was employed for some time in that department at the Capitol. She entered the Normal School in the fall of 1909. She was a member of Philo Society and took great interest in the musical parts of the program. Marguerite’s poetical sense was very well devel- oped, for she loved to read poetry and longed to write some. She expects to go out into the world and to climb the ladder of Fame as a teacher. Dauphin County will some day be proud of her. 45 Iva May HonshBRGER, Tremont. Miss Iva May Honsberger was born at Friedens- burg, Schuylkill County, May 26, 1892, and when about two years of age her parents moved to Tre- mont, where she has lived ever since. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Honsberger, and she has a younger brother of whom she is very proud, but laments the fact that she is not fortunate enough to have a sister. At the age of six, she joined the great proces- sion of school children by enrolling as a pupil of the Tremont Public Schools, and continued her course until she graduated in the spring of 1909. After graduation she expects to make teaching her profession for at least ten years. We suppose “it is distance that lends enchantment to the view,” for circumstantial evidence certainly does not point that way. Miss Honsberger was an anniversary speaker of the Philomathean Liter- ary Society. Best wishes for a successful career. Katherine Hoover, 1220 Spruce St., Reading. The biographers called on the great historians, palmists, astrologers and fortune-tellers so as to be sure and know all the splendid traits of this fairy. After graduating from Reading High School, she turned her steps toward Kutztown. From her very early days she gave indications of of an insatiable thirst for music, for as she grew in beauty, in stature, in years, she also grew in musical skill. Her fairy music sets us all in a trance, and often transports us away to fairy realms, only to come back better and happier mortals. She has been a member of Philo, and of the Y. W. C. A. Music Com- mittee. We used to think “Kitty” very distant, but only after becoming fully ac- quainted with her smile did we know her fully well. She never missed a chance to go to Reading; she says, of course, to visit her home, but is it the whole truth? Miss “Kitty” expects to teach, and we will some day hear of her as a second Paderewski. 46 Ivuke Reber Huyett, Sinking Spring. Luke is the son of Irvin William L. and Matilda V. Huyett. He was born at Sinking Spring, June 28, 1890, and has resided there all his life. He attended the public schools of Sinking Spring and afterward the Spring Township High School and was graduated in 1908. He subse- quently attended the Keystone State Normal School and completed the course. He is a member of the Philomathean Literary Society and has served in several offices. He was the president of the Athletic Association of the school and roomed near the fire-escape in case the athletes would get too demonstrative in his room. He expects to be an educator, in which profession he has the good wishes of all. Elsie Montana Jones, Slatington No, my dear reader, Elsie was not one of the Rocky Mountain nymphs. No, indeed, she came to us in the fall of 1910 as one of Lehigh County's fair maids. Slatington Public Schools have made Elsie just what we want her to be, for her quiet, whole-hearted and cheery life has won many congenial friends for her. She had such a queenly disposition, so we are sure she will reign with a “king” over some little kingdom. Watch out, slate-quarry prince, when Elsie with her great magnetic force comes along. Congratulations. Elsie will teach and how for- tunate her Alma Mater will be to receive as students some of those whom she prepared. Elsie was an active member of Keystone Society and was a broad-minded and generous girl, and we predict a bright future for her which will be a credit to her class. 47 Lewis Matthias Kachel, R. D. No. 2, Mohnton. Do you know a handsome, black-haired, medium-sized, young fellow who is always in a good humor? If so, you know Lewis Kachel. Of his early life very little is known. He first sprang into prominence in Normal life when both lie and his chum decided to take the Biblical course. Their fondness for various scriptural books is very evident, although Lewis has been heard to declare that it is “Ruth for mine.” Laura Isabella Keck, Kutztown. Laura first looked into this old world at Kutz- town, and history says that it was some time in the nineteenth century. She attended the Model School of Keystone Normal and then entered the Normal School. Laura was one of our bril- liant students, due to the fact of her daily exer- cise, which was taking her dog “ Brainstorm ” out for a walk, usually down to Drukenmiller’s. This illustrious maiden has many wonderful powers, but her intellectual power far surpasses all others. This is partly due to her home being across the street from Keystone Normal School and to her eleven years of Normal training. We do not know what vocation this maiden expects to enter in life’s work, but with her many qualifications she will be able to take up anything she decides. May good luck go with you, Laura. She is a member of Keystone Society. 48 Linda Helen Keinert, Kutztown Laurence Samuel Kelchner, This chap, Laurence, alias “Lilly,” first made his little soul known one beautiful spring day, the sixth of May, 1893. His early life was uneventful, except for the many mischievous haunts for which all toddlings are noted. His early education was obtained in the Ideetwood Public Schools. In 1905 he advanced to the town High School, from which he graduated in 1908. In the fall of 1908 he made himself known to the educational world- at-large, when he made his appearance at this school. Although his name does not indicate it, he has inherited a certain bold and courageous spirit which characterized the days of chivalry. “Lilly,” as you know, has a little history of its own, which its owner would be glad to explain for the asking. “Lilly” is a member of the Philo Literary Society and the Boys’ Cue Club” - of Fleetwood. If our friend “Lilly” becomes a promoter of education, as he intends, and does not forget that he can not swim, his success is at his bidding. 49 Fleetwood. One warm day in August, some years ago, the people of Alburtis were informed that a little visitor had come into their midst. Thus Linda Helen Keinert was first heard of. She attended the public schools at that place, until she can e to live at Kutztown, where she graduated from High School in 1907. During the three years spent here, she was an active member of Keystone Society and the orchestra, where she had an excellent chance to develop her musical ability. Linda always was a jolly girl, and her good spirits were not even affected when she got thirty-nine misses in Literature for not observing margins in her scratch tablet. She expects to teach for a few years, and then we are sure that she will follow in the footsteps of Tetrazzini, and will so charm her leading tenor with her sweet voice that they will sing together through life. Mary Etiiki Kendig, 201 Oley St., Reading. Mary Ethel Kendig was born at Slrasburg, Lancaster County, Fa. She is the daughter of David and Anna Kendig, and at present is living in Reading, Fa. She attended the public schools of Reading and spent one year at Reading High. She then entered the Junior Class of Keystone Normal, and was a student for three consecutive years. She became a member of Keystone Society, from which she says she has received much knowledge and pleasure. Mary is very fond of history, but there is nothing in which she takes so much pleasure as in reading the life of Frederick the Great. In general, she approves of his actions, but she thinks he might have been “sterner.” After this year, Mary expects to teach school, and her chief desire is to get a school of boys. Edward Franklin Kessler, Locust Dale. “ Fatty,” the star athlete, hails from Locust Dale, Schuylkill County, Fa. He says he received his preliminary education in his home town. During the cold days of January, 1908, “Fatty” got an idea to come to the Normal. One feature of his experience was that lie could not satisfy his appetite, but was gradually broken in, as we say. In a short time he distin- guished himself as an athlete and made for him- self a “rep.” “Patty” was a fast forward on the basketball floor for the two last years, which, for all time, will be remembered by his classmates. In the sunny days of spring this star could be seen shining on the third bag of the diamond, which position he filled honorably. He, too, was the heaviest hitter, and took delight in “hitting one” now and then. “Fatty” enjoys a good time and can talk you to sleep on athletics. He will always be remem- bered. 50 Leon Brobst Kungamax, Steinsville. Leon Brobst Klingaman honored this world by his arrival in 1888, at the interesting village of Wanamaker. When only seventeen lie began instructing the coming generation and kept up the thankful task for four years, after which he came to Keystone State Normal School. He was president of the Philo anniversary performers in November, 1910. 1 Ie was also presi- dent of the 1911 class, and performed his duties well, proving that his classmates knew what they were about when they elected him. He hopes to be a champion tennis player, as he is intensely fond of the game. It is a pleasure to play with this tall, cheerful, young man because he is always good-natured. His favorite expres- sions are: Now we’re playing!” and This corner, Charley!” Martha Elizabeth Knecht, 323 West Fourth St., South Bethlehem. Martha Elizabeth Knecht, the daughter of Clinton and Kathryn Knecht, was born at Iron Hill, Northampton County. She attended the public schools of Shimmersville, and graduated from Lower Saucon High School in 1908. In the fall of the same year she entered Keystone Normal School, where she became an active member of the Philomathean Literary Society. Among the different offices she held in society was that of critic, and it was here that she made a hit,” for she is a born critic. Martha is very fond of chocolate, but never will she accept any unless it is made by Peters. She says she wants the best and only the best. Next year she intends to make teaching her profession. 5r Florence Hannah Koch, 1416 Turner St., Allentown. On August 12, 1892, there was a tremendous thud felt at Krocksville, Pa., which shook the whole county. On investigation it was found that the disturbance was caused by the descent of an innocent babe, later called Florence Hannah Koch. The first three years of her school life were spent at that place and the next four at Dubbs’ Mill. Next, Allentown was favored by the presence of this young miss. After gradua- ting from Normal, she intends to make teaching her profession, but we all know that her pleasant smile will at some future time attract the atten- tion of some blonde of the opposite sex. John Daniel Kramer, R. D. No. 2, Reading. Here he is! He appeared in this world, which is not growing worse to the men and women who are doing their best to make it better, on June 1, 1891, while the nymphs and swains were courting, seated on the new-mown hay. Being “Jim Dandy” or “John D.,” we can see that he has good blood flowing through his veins. He attended the schools of Muhlenberg, his native township, for ten years, and then .the Reading Classical School for two summers, after which he taught successfully for one year. John, who was assistant manager of athletics, pitched for the second team, but whenever away on a trip, he always liked to pitch his tent at Reading for a few hours before he returned to Normal, but perhaps he is not to be blamed for doing so. At present, John D.” lives at Reading, Route 2, and this is his motto: “If you would know and not be known, live in a city.” Normal will certainly miss John, as he alwrays tried to do his best toward the advancement of athletics, and his familiar voice will be lacking among the Normal rooters. 52 Albert Roger Kratz, Silverdale. Roger started with Santa, but Santa knowing Mr. ami Mrs. Kratz’s stockings were not small enough to hold him, left Roger to find his way, and so he arrived somewhat later, on January 20th. His proud parents listened to his speech when he graduated from Hilltown High School, and said to him: “ Now, you may either study to be a teacher or an auctioneer.” After a sleepless night, he decided to register at Keystone State Normal School in September, 1909. He was a great support to the V. M. C. A., by whom he was sent as a delegate to Northfield. He was a member of Philo, and did credit to the Society as a speaker at anniversary. He will teach and then enter college to specialize English. He made a study of legends here, especially reading, studying, reciting, and dramatizing “Helen of Troy.” He had several attacks of “lovitis,” but the most severe was the attack during spring term of senior year. He tried to cure it on the tennis courts—but in vain. Some day, when we are reading the daily papers of 1930, we may read of a nation-stirring speech made by U. S. Senator Kratz, of Pennsylvania. He was an all-around, good fellow, and will accomplish something no matter where he goes. Mame Anna Krause, Slatington. This young lady first made her appearance on Mother Earth, at least sixteen years ago, amidst the densely crowded city of Slatington, and has lived there ever since. She graduated from the High School there in 1908, and was a post- graduate of 1909. She is a general favorite, and when a slight noise is heard in the hall, the students are heard to exclaim, “ Here comes Mame!” We hardly think that her teaching career will be long judging by the lengthy and frequent letters that she receives from Bucknell. 53 David Elmer Krueger, Freemansburg. “Well, well, whose face is this?” They say that he was a bright baby and always proceeded apperceptively, but he has now developed into our beloved “Davy.” He was born at Burson- ville on January 15, 1891, while the frost stopped the village mill. He interpreted “all kinds of letters at the age of four. He graduated from the Freemansburg High School in 1907, being president and valedictorian of the class, showing that he did not have an arrest of development at that time. In 1908-1909 he taught school at his birthplace, returning to Keystone State Normal School in the fall of 1909 as a middler, where he became vice-president of the class of 1911 - He believed in “ Life without sport is not life.” Owing to bad health, “Davy” sometimes had to take a trip for his health, although after his return he was always worse than before going. During the summer of 1911, he can be found “pulling bell cords” for the Easton Transit Co. We all wish him success in whatever he will do. Florence Mazetta Kuntz, . . . New Tripoli. Florence is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Kuntz, of New Tripoli. This brunette, who was born near Slatington, early showed an inclination for travel, and so migrated to her present home. She attended the public schools of that place, from which she graduated in 1907. Still having her former desire for travel, she came to Keystone State Normal the following year in search of adventure. Plenty of it, too, she found, for as a prosperous junior, and even up to the senior year, she was known to sally forth at break of day for an attack on her books. She is one of the active members of the Philomathean Society, also an active talker, her tongue being almost as unruly as her dark mass of curls when in a hurry to put them up. She always took an interest in geology, especially anything relating to “shells.” She expects to follow teaching as a profession fcr a while,” she says. 1 54 Harry Lke Kijnt .i.i-ma.v, U. I). o. i. Tower City. t Harry was born in Tower City in the year of 1892. This young man, who has brought joy to the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kuntzle- man, was at an early age sent to school, where he made unusual progress, finally entering the Porter Township High School. He completed the three-year course of that school and graduated in 1909 with first honors, 'flic following autumn, he entered the Keystone State Normal School. He joined the Keystone Literary Society, and then for the first time he truly found himself. His eloquence at once won the admiration of ail, which lead to his election as an anniversary speaker. The anniversary celebrated the ter- centenary of the King James version cf the Bible. Harry made a vigorous appeal for the proper appreciation of good books. Harry, for a time, worked persistently at Greek, but when he came to — E X O I 11 X T 0 - K V P 0 Y A N A BAS IS, he migrated to the business department. lie has adopted a famous motto, suggested by a well-known lecture. The motto: “ Ruff, ruff” means, ‘‘Get out of the way, I’m coming, but I’ll walk around you if you’ll stand still.” He expects to go through some college and found a university in his native town. Mary Rehecca Lath, I-gypt. This tall, athletic lady was born in Egypt in 1893. She claims to be a descendant of the noble Pharaoh. It was her ancestor who added the Hall of Columns to the temple of Karnak. She takes a great interest in all her studies, espe- cially physics, in which she takes two recitations a day sometimes. She has made a special study of the fire-alarm box. Because she takes so much interest in her studies she always keeps her door locked, and she refuses to open even to missionaries. Although she attended and gradu- ated from Moravian Seminary, she felt that her brain could hold more knowledge, so she came to the Keystone State Normal School in 1910. After she graduates she may take the part of Mrs. Wigg(s) in the “Cabbage Patch, said Cabbage Patch” being Port Collins, Colo. 55 Florence Emma Lauer, Alburtis. This innocent looking maiden hails from the vicinity of Alburtis, Lehigh County, Pa., where she was born in 1893. “Floss,” as she was always known by her comrades, has always been cf a “quiet” and “bashful” disposition. Never- theless, her parents noticed that she was natur- ally bright and sent her to the public school. By faithful study and strenuous efforts she made progress, so that she was admitted to the Halls of the Normal as a member of the class of 1911. While at this school Miss Florence was a conspicu- ous character among her schoolmates and very much devoted to her studies. She is a veritable “man hater,” and quite frequently preferred the back street rather than the public highway in order to avoid them. She dees not expect to teach, but undoubtedly will distinguish herself as a “fmanceer” in the future. Her classmates wish her all possible success. Frank Raymond Leas, Topton. Mr. Leas tells us that he landed on Jersey soil on the 26th day of March, 1894. We know very little of his boyhood days. Raymond is naturally a bright lad, and since he was identified with the class of 1911 he has done his part in raising the standard. Raymond was quite a teaser and many a time amused himself with the opposite sex while going to and from school, so they tell us. Nevertheless, they have not taken all his time, for he has made good use of his time. In his own words, he says, “At least for two years, I will be an instructor of the young.” We wish him success. 56 Sarah May Lehman, East Greenville. “ Well, how shall we introduce this girl to you?” She says that her name is Miss Sarah May Lehman, but we have been accustomed to call her “Sallie,” and she is certain to return a smile if you do call her by that name. She was born at I Cast Green- ville, Montgomery County, Pa., being the daugh- ter of Milton and Elizabeth Lehman. From six to fifteen, she attended the East Greenville Schools, graduating from High School in 1909. She says, “After passing the beloved tests at Keystone State Normal School in 1909, I became a middler,” but we are all glad to say that she also became one of our ideal seniors, although she may not have been one of the seniors in age. She is a member of the Philomalheau Literary Society. She expects to teach for a number of years, but further plans are indefinite. Sadie Caroline Levan, R. I). No. 1, Kutztown. While the cold north wind of January 22, 1892, was whistling around the chimney-tops, Levan’s Mill, near ICaglepoint, Berks County, was visited by a handsome baby girl, later known as Sadie Caroline Levan. This old mill is famous for having made flour for the soldiers during the Revolutionary War and because Count Zinzendorf preached in it. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Levan, were highly interested in their daughter and sent her to the ICaglepoint Public School, where she completed the course bypassing the township examination at Powers, Pa. She then entered the D Class at Keystone State Normal School. During her summer vacations she assisted her mother in farm- and house-work. She has been one of the organists and teachers of the ICaglepoint Sunday School and has served as secretary of the ICaglepoint Farmers’ Beneficial Debating Society for three terms. During her spring vacation she substituted for her sick sister, who is teaching in District Township. During the first term of her senior year she joined the Philomathean Literary Society, in which she has taken active part. 57 Sarah Rose Levan, Mountain. Sarah Rose Levan made her appearance on this stage of action in the hazy month of September, 1891. She attended the public school at her home, where she was characterized as being of a somewhat shy nature. This disposition was cast into the sea of oblivion when she entered Keystone State Normal School four years ago. During her stay at the Normal she has been a prominent character in all the mirthful enter- prises. She, no doubt, is compensating for her former backwardness. Miss Levan is a member of the Philoinathean Literary Society and of the V. W. C. A. After graduation she expects to make teaching her profession, and intends to instil into her pupils that “Variety is the very spice of life that gives it all its flavor. We all extend our best wishes toward her success. i Helen Rhoades Levengood, . . R. D. No. 1, Boyertown. This young lady spent her early childhood at Spring Hill Farm, near Boyertown. She was educationally inclined, and accordingly attended the public schools of Montgomery County, from which place she graduated in 1907. From here she finally drifted to Boyertown High School, graduating there in 1909. Thinking she still needed some educational principles, she entered Keystone State Normal School. Here she dis- tinguished herself in music. She was a member of the Euterpean, the Chaminade and the Normal Choir. Besides being talented with her own instrument, she is also talented on the piano and certainly can render fine selections. Helen tells us she intends to still broaden her education by entering a school to specialize in music and mathematics. Good-bye, Helen, we wish you success in your next course and hope you may attain it, but not unless—“Roger” is forgotten. 58 1 Klmina Berg Lewis, R. D. No. 3, Factoryville. This blonde youth first opened her peepers in the little hamlet of Newark, N. J. She received her early education in kindergarten. The joy of her parents was beyond expression when she landed in High School. The family then moved to Fleetville, taking their “strawberry blonde” with them. Elmina decided that she would like to become a “school inarm and entered Keystone State Normal in 1908. She became a member of Philomathean. Klmina now lives at Factoryville, where she will probably teach; so farewell, Klmina, we trust that you have great success, and with it may come a “waist-coat.” Daniel Charles Lichtenwalnur, Tatamy. This fellow made his first appearance at Tat- amy, Northampton County, Pa., eighteen sum- mers ago. He attended the public schools of his native town for some time, but being an ambitious youngster he came to the Normal School to “plough deeper.” Here he identified himself with the class of 1911, whose standard he helped to raise by his strenuous efforts. While here Daniel was very much interested in tennis, and was considered a star in the game. He was a close student and made every moment his own. Daniel expects to teach the youngsters for a year or two, after which he will enter Lafa- yette and make a final dash for the goal. 59 Sacaton, Ariz. FLORENCE Amelia Linderman, This accomplished young lady, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel B. Linderman, was born at Fleetwood some ten or twenty years ago. From her conversations we learn little; however, we accidentally found out that she has done a good deal of traveling. Her “early teens” were spent on an Indian Reservation in the southwestern part of the United States, evidently Arizona. Seven years ago her mother brought her to Kutztown and gave her grandparents charge over her. This young lady certainly has a remarkable history, if we would only know more about her; but since she is such a quiet girl a suitable motto of hers would be, “Think and talk not.” Florence, don’t be modest, show your personality, so that some day Keystone vState Normal School may rejoice in sending to Arizona a girl who immediately trained the minds of those little darling Indians who are almost buried in ignorance. “Flo,” this will be a star in your crown. George Alfred Long, Hereford. George Alfred Long, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Long, opened his curious eyes to the world among the rock-ribbed hills of Rockland Township in 1889. The coincidence between name and stature is readily seen by those who know him. He attended the public schools of Longswamp Township, graduating from the High School in the class of 1909, of which he was president. He entered Keystone State Normal School in the fall of 1909 and completed the regular course with the exception of substituting German for Latin. While at the Normal he was characterized by his quiet disposition. He, no doubt, believes in the adage, “Silence is deep as eternity, speech is shallow as time.” Mr. Long was an active member of the Keystone Literary Society and the Y. M. C. A. He intends to teach school for a few years and then take up Civil Service. To get into the service of “Uncle Sam’’ has always been his strongest desire. His classmates tender their best wishes toward his success in both vocations. f 1 60 Jane Lilian Long, Mcrtztown. One cold December day in 1892, a young maiden, whose name deceives her, made her welcome debut in Longsdale, Longswamp Town- ship. She must have come with a smile; for, whoever she greets, a broad smile extending from car to ear accompanies her greeting words. She spent her early school life in Longswamp. She graduated from the High School, and the following year took a post-graduate course. However, not as yet satisfied, she toddles to Keystone State Normal School day by day without a murmur. She seems to have a musical talent, and no doubt, in connection with teaching, she will make the aforesaid a specialty. Good luck for you, Jane. Verna Evelyn Loy, Trexler. Verna arrived in this world a few years after the Holy Wars, or Crusades. As a result, she made herself famous in giving to us in a very pleasing manner the cause and the effects upon the Senior Class. Verna, we all think, is a very modest girl, but no one can tell---. We think her favorite saying is, “The saddest words of tongue or pen, are these sad words, ‘Where are the men!’ ” 61 Mary Eleanor Maley, R. D. No. 27, Minersville. Mary E. Maley, daughter of John and Elizabeth Maley, first breathed the pure fresh air of this happy world at Glen Carbon, Schuylkill County. The date of her birth is an unknown quantity, which we hope she will one day solve for us. Some years after her birth she sojourned with her parents to the town of Buck Run. After having received her preliminary education in a private school at Buck Run, she entered the Keystone Normal in the fall of 1909. Here she became an active member of the Keystone Literary Society and other organizations. After her graduation she expects to teach for several years, but it is hard to predict her future, as we do not know when that small brown-haired young man will claim her fair hand. Laura Elizabeth Marbarger, .... New Ringgold. Laura Elizabeth Marbarger was born at New Ringgold, Schuylkill County. Here she attended school during childhood, and afterward she favored Keystone Normal by her presence. While at Normal she was an active member of the Keystone Literary Society, holding the offices of critic and corresponding secretary. She was also prominent in Y. W. C. A. work. She was chairman of the Bible Band Committee during the year 1910 11, and was sent to Granville, 0., to the Students’ Conference in the spring of 1910 as a delegate from the Association. She expects to spend the near future in the school-room and time will tell what happens later on. 62 Anna May Mauger, R. I). No. 6, Pottstown. r “Well, well, whom have we here? Get a telescope! Ah, I see, it is Anna.” Well, Anna, we are glad to know that Pottstown can produce such a fine lady. This dignified personage graduated from West Pottsgrovc High School, and then took a course at an Art Studio in Reading. Deciding that she could do more good for her country by teaching Young America, she came to Keystone. Here she was always cast for “Baby” in the Normal plays. Though she is only four feet—nothing, she expects to grow tall and control the school- room by her mere presence. You have our best wishes for your success, Anna May. Ralph Henry Merkel, R. D. No. 4, Kutztown. Ralph began his little youth in Kutztown, August 17, 1892. He is the son of Oscar and Mary Dietrich Merkel. He received his early education in the Kutztown Public Schools, and in the spring, lie always refreshed his mind by spending the term in our Model School. In the spring of 1906 his father carted him away from the town allurements to his farm in Greenwich Township, which, girls, is his present address. He entered this school in 1909. He is an active member of the Keystone Literary Society and has a fair degree of standing among the weaker sex. Yes, his address is Greenwich, but you can never tell where Ralph is liable to be. If Ralph holds himself in, we can expect great results in his career. Ralph has decided to become an instructor of the young for at least two years, after which he thinks he will take a swing at college life. 63 Bertha May Miller, 136 North 7th St., Allentown Bertha May Miller first opened her eyes and began to pass opinions on the things around her in Hosensack, Pa. Here she attended the public schools. In 1908 she entered Keystone State Normal, was a member of Keystone Society, and never shirked her duty. Bertha expects to make her mark on this “terrestrial ball’' by teaching. Being a hard, conscientious worker, it is almost needless to state that she will be a good teacher. Oh! what we know about Bertha, especially when out surveying. Well, Bertha, your future has been prophesied, and we trust that it will be a bright one. Frank Lindenmuth Miller, Shoemakersville. “Frankie” was born in Tildcn Township, Berks County, September 1, 1891. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Euselius R. Miller, and when a year old, this cooing little infant was taken to a home in Center Township, near Shoemakersville, where he has lived ever since. He received his preliminary education in the schools of Center Township. At the age of sixteen he was awarded a diploma by the Superintendent of the County Schools. In the autumn cf 1908, he entered the Junior Class of the Normal School. He is an active member of the Keystone Literary Society, V. M. C. A., and Athletic Association, and loves his work in each and every one of them. He is especially fond of basketball and tennis, the latter of which he plays with great efficiency. Frank is an active talker and a jolly, good, little fellow with a smile that never wears off. He expects to teach and become a local preacher. As he is very small and hates “conspicion,” we are inclined to think he will have a very high pulpit and thus modernize the Pythagorian method. In case of any doubt, Frank desires his followers to consult him. 64 Ruth Evelyn Mitchell, Catasauqua. Ruth Mitchell hails from Catasauqua. She believes in starting everything in time, so she began school at the age of five and kept on climb- ing up the educational ladder until she reached Keystone State Normal School. She claims that unless something severely jars her present plans she will spend at least ten years in the school- room, shaping the intellects and characters of such young Americans as may be fortunate enough to come under her control. Rut Dr. Deatrick misunderstood her intentions, and that is the reason he offered Ralph the chance of hav- ing the ceremony performed cheap. Helen Mary Moyer, Topton. As if announcing the beginning of summer, a small child, since named Helen, presented itself to Frank H. and Ella V. Moyer, June 21, 1892. She received her introductory education in the Topton Public Schools, from which she graduated in 1908. This was when she was in her “sweet sixteen.” During this year she resumed her studies at this school. Ah! did she not begin her “sweet sixteen” appropriately? She is an admirer of athletics, her favorite game being baseball, in which she somewhat holds the posi- tion of center field in esteem. She is a member of the Philo Literary Society and the renowned M. U. G. Gym Club. Helen has a notion to try the profession of teaching. Her days of “sweet sixteen” having passed quietly, we have no fear that success is not stored up for our friend Helen. 65 Raphael Balthaser Nibs, West Reading. Who is this stern-featured, dark-eyed, and dark-haired youth? If I mistake not, it’s Raphael. When did he arrive? Am I correct if I say it was the remarkable day, January 28, 1891 ? He has attended school ever since he was a little tot and always has been very, very indus- trious. After graduating from West Hamburg High School in 1907, he thought of teaching. Therefore, after having been granted a provisional certificate he taught two years in his native town- ship of Tulpehocken. He now began to think of nice looking girls at Keystone State Normal School, so he expedited his movements and landed on the threshold of Normal as a senior in the fall of 1910. Girls, “Baity” has a beautiful horse and buggy. Now, he expects to be at home during summer vacation; therefore, if you want a drive over the avenue just call around. “Raph” will perform his duty with the greatest of pleasure. Wrela May Ossman, Hegins. When the tender voice of Wrela May was heard in the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Ossman, they wondered what on earth they should do with her, for she was always crying. Her parents decided to keep her at home for a few years and then send her to the public schools of her native town, from which she graduated in 1909. She thought she would like to go to Normal. Well, she certainly is here in all her glory. Her favorite game is tennis. In this game she need not go and ask the party she would like to play with, but instead he steps up politely and asks her. Hope we may all be so lucky. I am afraid Wrela May will forget all when she takes up the splendid vocation of teaching. 66 Esther May Palm, Mt. Penn. Here conies Esther May, the little gray-eyed, brown-haired miss, who doesn’t want her age known. But hush, if you don't tell a soul I will tell you her age. She was born at Reading, and since Reading is at least a hundred years old, her age is anywhere from twenty to a hundred. She entered the Normal with the intention of teaching, but it is hardly probable that she will spend her whole life in that profession, for a certain Harry has come to the front of the arena to claim her attention. Claude Oliver Peters, Saegersvillc. This innocent looking youth hails from northern Lehigh County, where lie was born in the spring of 1890. We know very little of his boyhood days, besides that he attended the public school of that place. Claude was a modest and good-natured class- mate. He was willing to do almost any favor, even not hesitating to stumble around reservoir hill in search of flowers to lighten some one’s heart who dared not accompany him. Claude was a close student while at this Normal, endeavoring to do the work to the best of his ability. He thinks the spice of life is a sufficient education and a happy home. Peters, although not as tall in stature as Peter the Great, too, will look about him and see how he can improve the welfare of his country. 67 Elsa A muli a Pktkrs, 246 North 11 th St., Allentown. Elsa was always up and doing at an early day, and since she was born so near the beginning of the year, January 3rd, we can readily see the cause. This extremely good girl was raised at an exceedingly good place, Jordan, Heidelberg Township. She attended the public schools of the place for eleven years, and as she was always studious, passed the county examinations at the age of thirteen years. She then came to spend two years at Keystone Normal, during which time she was an active Philomathean. Here was a chance to do some work and she early became known in Society work for her oratorical ability. Elsa also found a chance to cultivate this art to a greater extent in the literature class, for which many of her classmates were often thankful. We predict a bright future for her as a teacher. Mai d Milburn Polhkmus, Osborn ville, N. J. Maud Polhemus, alias Polydorus, was born in the land of the mosquitos, just too late to hear “The Father of Our Country” rally together our troops at the battle of Monmouth. From what Maud tells us, she was mistreated, especially when she was given the name “Hee-haw.” Hut cheer up, Maud! Behind the rain-cloud will come, or they have come already, some rays of sunshine. At present, Dartmouth College holds the ascendency in Mauds favor. Hut we do not wonder, for “Dick” is a splendid young man. An revoir, Maud, may you some day win—that for which you have so earnestly been seeking— a bachelor of arts. 68 Harold Henry Kahn, Kut .town. The population of the thriving metropolis of Kutztown was increased on the 17th of July, 1892, by the appearance of one, Harold Henry Kahn. His parents, Nicholas M. and Annie I,. Kalin, noticing that lie showed the capabilities of a teacher, sent him directly to the Model School at Keystone State Normal School, where, in the spring of 1907, he entered the first IS Class. He is now a very diligent student. He was a member of the Normal Orchestra and Keystone Literary Society, and now expects to continue his education at some college. Hilton Nicks Kaiin, Kut .town. Hilton Nicks Kalin first disturbed Hie peaceful citizens of Kutztown on November 25, 1894. He first began to disturb his youthful mind in the public schools of Kutztown, from which he gradu- ated in 1908. He then entered the Keystone State Normal School as a junior. Here he was connected with the Keystone Literary Society and the Athletic Association. He was one of the youngest and smallest members of the class, and when teaching in the training department of the school it was 110 easy task to distinguish between teacher and pupil. Certain members of the class will probably always have some fond memories to link with his name, as he was con- sidered by some a homely boy. 69 Mauds Merkkl Rapp, 134 Clymcr St., Reading. Maude M. Rapp, daughter of County Superin- tendent Eli M. Rapp, was born at Fleetwood, but now lives in Reading. She lived in Hamburg during her elementary school life, and on moving to Reading entered Reading High School for a short time. She then came to Keystone State Normal School as a junior, and joined the Key- stone Literary Society while a student at that place. Miss Rapp was well known at school for her fun-loving as well as studious qualities. Maude intends to teach school for at least 50 years and then retire to a home for maiden ladies. While a student here she could always be found in her room, “in and out of season,” preparing (?) some hard lesson. Next to Berks County she prefers Schuylkill County, and she may some day settle down in some “patch” in the latter county. Ada Mary Rausch, Shoemakersvillc. Ada Mary Rausch, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Rausch, was born in Perry Township, Berks County. She later lived at Hamburg, attended the public school of that place, and graduated from the Hamburg High School in 1909. The following fall she entered the Middle Class at Keystone State Normal School, and has always been a diligent student, seldom sac- rificing her studies for enjoyment. She has always been characterized by her ability to “take things by the smooth handle.” This will be an important factor to determine her success in teaching, which she intends to make her vocation. She is a member of the Keystone Literary Society and the Y. W. C. A. We all extend our best wishes toward her success. 70 Bertha Catharine Richer, I.cnharts ville. Bertha Catharine Reber, of the striving metropolis of Lenhartsville, Pa., was such a good little girl that the borough couhl not part with her, and she resides there still. After attending the public schools, she graduated from the tow id ship. Her ambitious character led her to take the full Normal course. She always was such a tidy lassie, and when she meets her laddie “cornin' through the rye,” he must be very, very neat. She says she will teach until the next census is taken, but time will tell and days declare. We can not tell whether it was the school, the hall, or her associates that made “Birdie” such a splendid young lady. Mary Susan Reed, Schuylkill Haven. This is not the lady connected with Reed Kellog’s “High School Grammar,” but a noisy little maiden who was born at Friedensburg, Pa. She came to Schuylkill Haven two years after and has lived there ever since. She entered the Schuylkill Haven Public Schools and graduated with honors in the class of 1909. She came to the Normal School the following autumn and has been with us ever since. Mary wanted to be an artist. For said she: Art and beauty consists of curved lines and a line is either curved or straight. Now, since I can not draw a straight line, I would alway draw a curved line. Hence, by logical reasoning, I was born to be an artist.” She made her first attempt on her little brother, who at the same time wanted to be an Indian. The woeful results caused Mary to decide to be a school- teacher. She has many good points that it surely will not hurt to name one of her bad ones; viz., she is a man hater. She will change this opinion some day and then she will be perfect. Her studious nature and her love of work have won her the commendation of all, and she has the good wishes of many friends who are confident of her success in the school-room. 71 Edna Anna Reese, Tamaqua. This young lady landed on our terrestrial ball, August 18, 1893. After attending the schools of Hazleton, she finally drifted to Tamaqua, from which place she arrived at Keystone State Normal School. Being famous in her home town she naturally displayed it at the Normal. Latin appears to be Edna’s hobby, for we all know it was a pleasure for her to study at it the entire evening. Edna herself tells us she expects to go to college at some future date to specialize in Latin. Farewell, Edna, we hope that the honors will come. Nellie May Reinhart, .... Schuylkill Haven. This one comes from Schuylkill, although she docs not look it. She was born at Cressona, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bertolet Rqinhart, who moved to Schuylkill Haven when she was two years of age. She attended the schools there until she graduated from High School in 1909. At Keystone State Normal School she was corresponding secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and was also a delegate of this organization to the Summer Conference, held at Granville, O.; she was also a Philo anniversary speaker in 1910 and a Commencement speaker in 1911. Miss Reinhart believes in “Cause not a tree to die, for in the ‘woods’ is perpetual youth.” She expects to teach school, and we all hope that the best day that she has seen may be worse than her worst to come. The writer being not so well acquainted with the side of the house from which she comes, has made up his mind not to say more about this girl, although a great number of affairs remain untold on account of the writer’s ignorance. 72 Grace Isabel Reiter, i 24'Fourth Ave., Bethlehem. One bright June day in 1892 the stork visited a palatial home in Shenandoah and brought Grace Isabel. As she early showed great intelligence, her parents felt that they ought to bring the little daughter up in more elevating surroundings, so they moved to Bethlehem, where, as we all know, there is an excellent college. Grace Isabel is very fond of that college. Her Class Day dress was brown and white. She went to school in Bethlehem until, through sheer desper- ation, they allowed her to graduate from the High School. Then, as she wanted a change, she decided to honor Keystone with her dis- tinguished presence. This blue-eyed maiden has a bright future before her. She will, no doubt, be an earnest W. C. T. U. worker, and when she lectures her subject will be: “Painting the States white.” But first she will teach. No doubt, her pupils will say: “How long, O, Grace Isabel, will you thus abuse our patience.” But never mind, kiddies. It won’t be forever. Mabel Gertrude Reitz, .......................... Mt. Carmel. The population of the thriving place of Rebuck was startled early on the morning of one of the days, some time before 1905, by the lusty cries of Mabel G. Reitz. The town was heartily sorry when this illustrious personage left their midst in 1905 to wander with her parents to Mt. Carmel, where her home has been ever since. From this high school she graduated with first honors. She entered Keystone State Normal School with the intention of spending the remainder of her years in teaching—a noble profession, Mabel. 73 Charles Thaddeus Rex, Switzer. Charles Thaddeus Rex was born at Switzer, Lehigh County, during 1892. From 1898-1903 he attended the schools of Weisenburg School District and then attended Reading Public Schools until 1909. That year he entered Key- stone Normal, where he became a member of the Philo Society and the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Rex is quite a skillful photographer and can show many excellent pictures of scenes at the school and of his schoolmates which he managed to get while at the Normal. He was engaged in the name- and post-card business. He seems to enjoy playing tennis, especially with a partner. Oh, how proud he feels! Joel George Rishbl, West Reading. J. George Rishel raised his first howl on April 10, 1892, at West Reading, Pa. Since then he has been very aggressive. In 1908 he was graduated from the West Reading High School, where he “made good’' beyond a doubt. After seriously considering the question, lie decided that Keystone State Normal School could best prepare him to take his plunge into the stream of life. Accordingly, he began housekeeping on Third Floor, where he remained unmolested. George was a faithful member of the Keystone Literary Society and the Y. M. C. A. 74 Helen Minerva Ritter, Since this beautiful little maiden does not wish to make her birthday known, we must make a guess. It must have happened some time after Paris abducted Helen. Arc we correct? Helen was a charming little queen when she was young. She had the honor cf graduating from the North Whitehall Township High School in 1909. In the fall of the same year Helen came to Normal, where she took active part in almost everything— however, she done it very quietly. Helen, when you go out into the world as a teacher make them yell and talk loud, so that with some extra elocutionary training they may be able to become orators of the day. Elizabeth Henrietta Roth, Elizabeth Henrietta Roth was ushered into this world at Shamokin. She received her first draught cf the spring of Know ledge in the schools of Washington Township, Lehigh County. In 1909 she graduated from High School and entered Keystone State Normal School. We do not know why Elizabeth was so popular with the Normal boys, but probably it was due to the fact that she roomed in “Paradise during the two years that she was here. She took a great interest in tennis and did not believe in playing with the same person every time, “since variety is the spice of life.” . Elizabeth says she is going to teach in Lehigh County, and we have a sneak- ing suspicion that it is going to be a school with only one pupil, and that she will not use the Ward Method, either. 75 Grace Lurelia Rothermel, blandon. On the twenty-third of May, in the year 1892 Blandon was aroused from its slumbers by a sound that was almost heard at Kutztown Blandon afterward found out that it was only Grace Lurelia Rothermel arriving on earth. Her parents must have thought her rather naughty, for they sent her to school at five. She later entered Keystone Normal, from which place, after graduating, she expects to enter the teaching profession for a few years. Let us hope that the few years are not extended into many. Luther Daniel Rothermel, ..... Mohrsville. The staid subject of this discussion was bom in Mohrsville, Pa., which simple fact could have been learned by looking at this shining head. Luther D. Rothermel has attended a business college, besides the Perry Township High School, and has been quite active in school life here. He is a member of the choir, Y. M. C. A., Euterpean, and the Keystone Literary Society. He expects to take up Civil Service, but we believe he may turn reformer. We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not on figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives, who thinks the most, Feels the noblest, acts the best. 76 Charlotte Julia Rothtrock, R. D. No. 2, Coopersburg. Lottie is the handsome daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rothtrock, of Locust Valley. She attended the public schools of this place and later the Coopersburg High School, from which she graduated in 1909. Just at this point she was undecided what to do and so waited until November 13th of the following year before she could make up her mind to resign herself forever to the profession of teaching, and so enrolled as a student of Keystone State Normal School. Lottie was always in for “eats,” so she came just in time for the Thanksgiving dinner. Her foresight in this matter was again noticed when she became a member of the Keystone Society. She always enjoyed talking, and noticing this quality, the Society officers gave her the pleasure of serving on debate regularly for a time. Show- ing the true missionary spirit, she bore it all in silence, and, as a reward, was made a member of the Missionary Committee of the Y. W. C. A. She expects to make teaching her profession. Victor Adam Ruth, Macungic. Victor began his debut on January 26, 1891, in Lower Macungie Township. This fair youth is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin S. Ruth. He obtained his introductory education in a little red school, which we do not know much about, except that it stood on a hill near Lehigh Creek. He entered this school in 1906, desirous to pro- mote his early education further. Our little boy, however, was misfortunate, as he had to dis- continue his course on account of sickness. After conquering this handicap, his thirst for knowledge returned and he again resumed his course. He has always been an active member in the Philo Literary Society. His talent for eloquence has won him the position of teacher of his Sunday School’s Bible Class. Victor is determined on making his mark and unless the Pates prevent, his success is assured. The idea of education reigns predominant in his mind and after teaching two years he intends to put on his shoulders, the harness of some college. 77 William Franklin Saul, R. D. No. i, Kutztown One dark and dreary night, “ Billy” first made an outcry which scared everybody in Maxatawny Township. He at once showed his ambition for school work, therefore was put into the public schools of the above-named township. “Willie,” as yet, has not reached “Eagle point” in his school work, but, mind you, he is a very pro- gressive young man of 24. If he continues his work he may no doubt reach the “Eagle point” of his ideals; namely, become a preacher of the gospel. The reason we prophesy this for “Willie” is because his name is Saul; that is, Mr. Saul. Now a man with such a Biblical name certainly should have some lofty ideas of the same. Therefore, William, roll up your sleeves and make it hot for the sleepy ones. George Arthur Schaeffer, .... Northumberland. George Arthur, the son of George K. and Elizabeth Schaeffer, was born at Shriener, Pa., March 7, 1891. He attended the Snyder County Public Schools from 1897 to 1907. He entered the C Class of the Keystone State Normal School in 1907 and passed the examinations for Middle Class in 1908. The following autumn he attended the Susquehanna University as a sub-freshman, but returned to the Normal School in the autumn of 1909 and completed the regular course and also several specials. Although from the country, George is exceed- ingly aristocratic. He is much interested in missionary work and once contemplated going to Africa. He, however, has given up this idea for the simple reason that he can not sever the “tie that binds” him to his many friends, espe- cially those of the opposite sex, among whom he is a veritable Apollo. He has planned to attend the Susquehanna University this summer and take a course in Latin, Greek and German. He will teach for a few years and in the meantime prepare for a course in biology or medicine, after which much is expected from him in this line of work. 78 George Jonas Schaeffer, On the hot day of August 30, 1891, about two miles east of Kutztown, you could have seen George, son of James and Rosa Schaeffer, wailing for recognition in this world. He soon came into prominence, once his appearance was well known. His early education was obtained in our model school. He advanced from there into the first K Class, four years ago. George is for business. When quite young he obtained valuable business assets by dealing in pigeons. He is an active member of the Philo Literary Society, in which he has held the offices of vice-president, treasurer and reporter. George is a fine fellow, but his spirit of adventure often proves a strong allure- ment to him. He has decided to add his name to our list of educational reformers for a while, after which lie intends to brighten up further at college. Kut .t own. Raymond Charles Schaffer, Coopersburg- January 19, 1892, is the date of those records bearing the announcement of the arrival into this world of Raymond Charles Schaffer at vSellersville, Bucks County, Pa. At the age of two years his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Schaffer, wheeled him to Coopersburg, where he has spent most of his youthful years on the farm. He graduated from the Coopersburg High School in 1909. Not being satisfied with his high school education, his parents, in order to satisfy him and make a man out of him, sent him to Keystone State Normal School in the fall of 1909, when he entered the Middle Class. Raymond spent a nice time in the infirmary while he was here, especially since he had such a kind-hearted nurse to take care of his “measles.” He was an active member of the Philomathean Literary Society and V. M. C- A. He expects to teach a few years and then enter a medical school. 79 Ei.mkr Edwin Schlappig, Bethel. Elmer Edwin Schlappig dates his career from June 15, 1S92. His intellect was given its pre- liminary training in the schools of Bethel Town- ship, Berks County, at which place he has always lived. 1 Ie entered Keystone State Normal School in the spring of 1908 as a sub-junior. That term lie joined the Philo Society and V. M. C. A., of which organizations he has been a faithful member ever since. Elmer has starred in ath- letics during his whole career at school, playing basketball during both his middle and senior years, and also covering second base on the baseball team during the fall term of his senior year. Edith Waiii, Schi.egki., Fleetwood. A few days before Santa Claus came, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Schlegel were as happy as two birds, when into their home nest was ushered without pomp or ceremony a baby Edith, who in those days already showed signs of some day being a second Ethel Barrymore. Fleetwood well remem- bers the day she graduated front the High School. While at the Normal School she was a member of Philo Society. Edith has dramatic tastes, which have blossomed wonderfully from the “bud” presented when she was a junior. She expects to leach, but we know she will be a part of some Lyceum Company, and will be on some number of the “Star Course” at Keystone State Normal School. Yes, we will applaud, Edith. So Adeline Leonora Schuler, Lilians. Some time after the “Revival of Learning,” who should come from Mars but Adeline Schuler and become an inhabitant of Upper Saucon Township. She received her education in the public schools of Emails, graduating in 1905. She entered Keystone Slate Normal in 1909, and like her chum Sara was very noisy. She has chosen teaching as her vocation and thinks it is one of the noblest callings any one can engage in. She was a very faithful member of Philo, always doing her duty. Solon Peter Schwoyer, R. 1). No. 3, Kutztown There was born to Samuel G. and Emma E. Schwoyer on January 5, 1893, a beautiful little baby boy, who was named Solon Peter, and he is a good representative of both the Solons and the Peters. According to all present appearances he must have been a very nice little baby, for to day he belongs to the beauty-loving Greeks. He started his school career in his native township, namely, Richmond, but came to join the rest of us in the spring of 1907. He daily walks to and from school, and although his lower extremities are not very long, he covers a long distance in a short time; but he also likes to go out for a drive for his health, something which most of us like to do if we have a chance. He belongs to the Keystone Literary Society and to the Lutheran Church, of Kutztown. After teaching a few years he expects to go to college. 81 Winifred Alice Seip, Top ton. Our friend Winnie began her debut March 27 1894, in Seipstown. She is the daughter of John P. and Alice L. Seip. Winnie spent her early years in the town public school and later in the public schools of Top ton. But it was not until after she had passed a county examination and had entered this school that she became known to the education world at large. “Winsome Winnie,” as she is, has never been troubled about anybody outside of the town sewing circle. Winnie has had some experience as an actress, but she is not inclined that way, as she intends to teach the young for a while. She is a member of the Philo Literary Society, in which she takes an active part. In whatever our friend Winnie may take a hand in, we all wish her success. Martini-; Taylor Seiple, Richland Centre. This lass first released the vibrations of her voice in some year after the flood. She docs not wish her age to be known, for the date of her birth was not given to her biographer. Now, Marline, you didn’t want people to think that you were some noted literary writer, whose birth is not generally known? This beautiful brunette attended the public schools in Quakertown, and at last determined to become a charming “school inarm,” and accord- ingly came to Keystone State Normal School. We do not know how long she will teach. We think it will not be long, for she seemed quite worried when a certain young man had his nose broken in a famous ball game at Normal, but we all know it wasn't Grover Cleveland. 82 David Sharman, Jr., Fritztown. “Dave,” as he is known, hails from Kritztown, Berks County, Pa. He first saw the light of clay in January, 1894. His school career dates from the time he entered the Conrad Weisser Grammar School. Ever since he has advanced in his work as the average Berks Countian. “ Dave,” no doubt, has some of General She(a)rman’s blood (lowing through his veins, for in the twinkling of an eye he will give you a piece of his mind. He attacks things, as a rule, scientifically and speaks philosophically. “Dave” is very much inclined to law and being interested in “cases,” he no doubt will figure at the bar in the future. Katharine Machay Singiser, • 919 Turner St., Allentown. Katharine Singiser came into this world at “Peanut town.” She came laughing, and has been laughing ever since. She attended the public schools of Allentown, also entered High School, and later became a student of “The Frances Steitler” school of that place. In 1909 she entered Keystone State Normal and became a member of Keystone Society. She, a brilliant student, lighted the way for most of us (by means of her illuminous top). A prophet has predicted that her future name might be changed to “ High” (German). 83 Spring town. This young lady began to breathe the invigor- ating air of Springtown, some years after the fall of Rome. She attended the schools of her home town, and finally after years of hard study graduated from High School. Ella, wishing to make something of herself, attempted the course at Keystone State Normal School, where she has distinguished herself. We trust, however, that the instruction received here will not be in vain, for there happens to be a whisper—hush! I dare not tell—“Roscoe.” Maxatawny. George had his first look at this world near the town of Maxatawny. George spent his unevent- ful years within the city limits of Maxatawny, to which place his parents wheeled him when he was quite young. George’s early education gave him the idea that he would like to travel, so in 1905, accompanied by his parents, he took in part of this world by an extensive trip through the northern United States and Canada. When George returned his parents again compelled him to return to school. He entered this school in 1908, desirous of more knowledge. He soon became a member of the Philo Literary Society. Here his ability to sing, which dates back to his infancy, manifested itself, and as a result he has often entertained us with his melodious sounds. The Euterpean soon found out his talent and 4 enrolled him in their number. After looking at George you will no doubt conclude that he is going to become one of our educators—for there is personality in those features. His place in society is already won by his talent to sing, and whatever George may attempt we all wish him « success. 84 Edna Eliza Snyder, It was on October 6, 1891, that Lynnville was startled by a little laugh, for lo and behold, Edna had arrived into the family of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Snyder. She tells us she was so naughty when she was a little girl, that her parents decided to send her to the public schools of her home town. She discontinued her school � work there, and thought she might just as well go to Keystone State Normal, where all the pretty boys and girls went. She is one of the modest kind of girls, especially when she wants to visit the restaurant and she sees one of the professors around. She has the right spirit when she abolishes refreshments rather than be gazed upon by the teachers as a disobedient girl. Never mind, Edna, always remember, “There are brighter days coming.’' Edna, keep your highest ambition as being the desire for traveling. You know why. % Elsie Minerva Snyder, 1892 was a very lucky year for Fullerton, for during that time its population was materially increased by the arrival of a sweet red-cheeked, pearly-teethed brunette, Elsie—or, as she prefers to be called, Elizabeth Minerva Snyder. She early evinced a great desire for learning, and so after completing the High School course in White- hall Township she came to Keystone State Normal School in 1908. Here she took a course on colors. Her favorite one is red and that is why she shows so much fondness for, and faith in, red-haired people. Her people did better than they knew when they named her Minerva, for she is very wise (in the ways of men). Her wisdom, however, can not spoil her naturally sweet disposition. Her ambition is to teach the young, but it will not be very long. Her home, in the course of a few years, will probably be in Washington, D. C., where she will honor State functions by her charming presence. 85 Laura May Snyder, Womelsdorf. Laura May Snyder showed her good judgment when she chose Stouchburg as her birthplace. She received the rudiments of her education in one of good old Berks County's well-known townships, namely, Marion, after which she taught two years. She then entered Keystone State Normal in the fall of 1909. While here she served as president of Young Women’s Christian Association, also was a member of Philo Society, and being elected a speaker, represented it well at the last anniversary. Laura has a sweet smile which has instigated the saying, “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” and is also cheerful, as we all know, “Cheerfulness is an offshoot of goodness and wisdom.” She expects to enter life’s great field of activity in one of the greatest professions known, a teacher. After teaching a few terms, she expects to become a non-resident worker in oratory. Miss Laura is a perpetual well of good nature, and that will carry her through; so here’s to Laura. Lena Alice Snyder, Shamrock. O11 one hot day of July, 1892, which day was the 14th, Tower City was startled by the appear- ance of the little life of Lena Alice Snyder, daughter of Samuel Clinton and Katie Eva Snyder. Lena’s early life was uneventful. Her early training was received in the city public schools. In 1898 her family wheeled her to Shamrock, which she, as yet, has found best not to leave. I11 1908 she graduated from the Longswamp High School, after which she resumed her course of study at this school. Lena, like many other girls, keeps her eyes wide open and admires beauty. She likes to travel, but scarcely ever travels alone. She is a member of the Philo Literary Society and the famous “M. U. G.” Gym Club. After graduating, she expects to teach for at least two years, and since she is past her “sweet sixteen,” no doubt her success is assured. 86 k rl Lily Irene Snyder, “Who comes here in splendid array?” Our Lily of the Valley (of Neffs). Now don’t you think Mr. and Mrs. S. Walter Snyder opened their eyes when Mr. Stork knocked at their door5 Well, you bet! Lily was a bouncing little girl. I do not know how she is now. Do you? Well Lily went to school. Her teachers always like her, and therefore naturally encourage her to become a “school ma’am.” Her favorite game is tennis. But the only trouble is Lily can not always succeed in getting the partner she wants. Lily, don't be backward. Speak out and show that you have a voice as sweet as the flower whose name you bear. But Lily will be a gradu- ate of our dear Keystone State Normal, and then her relatives and friends will be glad to hear that Lily has been successful in her work and willing to teach in her dear old Lehigh County, where all the good people dwell. Lambert Spancake, Lambert came on the scene some time during a sunny day in April, 1889, while the fragrance of spring was wafted through the pines in Pine- grove, Pa. “vSpanny” grew to be a tall, husky athlete, so that at the early age of 17 he taught a school in his home township. (S)pancakes are real good and this is one of them. He made good and later came to the Normal. Being interested in athletics, he became the “center'' of attraction in the basketball team with which he played for two years. He deserves the credit of making many a grand play, and after he has had his U. P. course he will continue to make a grand play in this world. 87 Marik Elizabeth Spangler, Avon. Marie is the only lassie from Lebanon County. We are exceedingly sorry there are no more, because this representative takes up so little room. Indeed, my readers, her case is one of “quality and not quantity.” She, like Shakes- peare, was born at Avon (but this was Lebanon County), and she seemed to follow his steps in a few ways, but with many, many exceptions. She graduated from Hebron High School, and slowly but surely she found her way to Keystone State Normal School, and here was a member of Philo. Her great ambitions were to “look cute” and “have something to eat.” When we forget how Marie would give a sarcastic remark, elevate her nose to a very acute angle and swiftly turn away, then will we think of her sweet disposition. Marie was always ready to help others, took great interest in the social life, and from appearances, will prove a pleasant enter- tainer. We arc sure half of her best characteristics have not been told. She was very patriotic, giving Uncle Sam a great revenue, through his mail department. Marie Elizabeth will teach, then take up kindergarten work at some college. Here’s to “Sweet Marie,” who came to Avon amid April showers, which accounts for her blossom-like life. Pai l Ira Speichkr, I V Sinking Spring. Paul Ira Speicher was born October 16, 1892, in North Heidelberg Township, Berks County. During his early years he laid the foundation of his education in the schools of Lower Heidelberg, Heidelberg and Cumru Townships In the fall of 1907 lie entered the Spring Township High School, graduating from it with first honors in 1909. In the fall of that year he made his appearance at Keystone Normal. At the Normal he was industrious, and at the same time fun- loving. He was a member of the Philomathean Literary Society, which body he represented at its 1910 anniversary. Although fond of basket- ball and baseball, Paul thinks his athletic ability is most in evidence on the tennis courts. 88 Harriet Matilda Sponagle, Matilda was born in the crowded city of Birds- boro, some time after the “Trojan War.” She attended the public schools of that place, gradu- ating in 1908 from the High School. She then entered Keystone Normal School, and was a good, faithful student, being a member of Keystone! While at Normal Matilda was in for all kinds of sport. It has been predicted that “Tillic” will become a great orator. We hope that Matilda will be successful, and that her favorite expression, which is “Oh! get wise,” will come true. Oh! Matilda, pray tell. Charles Roy Steitz, “Charlie” was ushered into this wicked world amid the raging storms of February, 1890, on the east side of Catasauqua. Through trials and temptations he finally landed at the Normal in 190S. He was playing basketball with the Normal team as a middler, but discontinued in order to give his “object of adoration” more of his spare moments. He is of a happy disposition and never refuses you a smile accompanied by a wink. He was honored by being president of the Key- stone anniversary speakers. The future will see “Charlie” making his light shine among men. 89 Frederick Alvin Sterner, Schuylkill Haven. On a bright and glorious July morn, there was introduced into life's theatre at Schuylkill Haven, a precocious child, who took his parts in the different plays not because he sought publicity, but because the occasion always sought him. It was necessary for his biographer to pause and consider to be sure to do justice to a senior who, with his tenacity and systematic actions, has persisted in upholding the dignity and scholarship of the school. His graduation at Schuylkill Haven High School was a great pleasure to Fred’s parents. He came to Keystone State Normal School and completed, along with the regular course, the college preparatory course, which gave him the privilege of several languages, and so he is quite proficient in “ feminine gender.’ He was a member of V. M. C. A. and attended the Conference at Northfield. Philo Society found a faithful member in him. He served as president, and was one of the representatives at the anni- versary. Of the fair sex in our class, -those numbered among his list were fortunate indeed, for he believed in having a few good friends. Michael Garfield Stump, . . R. D. No. 3, Pinegrove. There was considerable stir and excitement in Schuylkill County some time before Taft’s administration. The cause was traced to Wash- ington Township, and there it was discovered that the advent of a raven-headed youngster had caused it all. While he attended the public schools, his father was debating what to make of Michael. Finally, Michael took matters into his own hands, as lie usually does, and said, “I am going to be a teacher.” He thereupon taught five terms. He has been using his time to the best advantage, especially as treasurer of Y. M. C. A. and in Keystone Society. He roomed very near to the other side” of the building, but we never saw anyone wear his class pin. He again expects to teach, but we will some day hear that he is making stump” speeches for nothing less than County Superintendent. Good luck, Michael. 90 Edwin Diener Trexler, Topton. Edwin (“Jimmy”) began his early youth on August n, 1894. He is of a gentle mind and easily to manage. His early training was handed to him in the public schools at Mertztown, where he was born. “Jimmy” has a stage instinct which he often exhibited to his playmates. His natural ability to perform dates back to his birth. He took the opportunity in 1908 of giving this school a try-out. He met the bumps with determination, and at last has reached the top of the grind. He is a member of the Philo Literary Society and Hezikiah’s “Country Club.” He thinks he will be a full-fledged schoolteacher, but he must be careful that his easy-going ways and scholars do not mix. His success is assured, provided his old talent to perform does not get the best of him. Levi Samuel Troutman, This trout swam ashore while Maud Muller on a summer’s day raked the meadows sweet with hay. Levi grew up in a Lebanon County home, near Stouchsburg, Pa., like the average boy, with the exception that he’s a dreamer. Dreamers are a power to the nation, and Levi will some day have a dream that will bring him fame. By his stern countenance and determi- nation written o’er his brow, he will be able to hold men at his command. We wish him success. 91 Edith May Walhekt, Trexlertown. Edith May Walbert first saw the light of day under Lehigh County’s skies, in Trexlertown. She attended the local public schools and spent four years as a student at Keystone State Normal School. Edith always did her work very well, we know, so her efforts will place her in the midst of some children as their teacher. She will never forget how she used to sit and study in the study room. She was a member of Philo Society. Mary-Amanda Walborn, ..... Stouchsburg. Mary Amanda Walborn was born at Stouchs- burg, Berks County. Of course, the public schools of Stouchsburg did much for “Molly,” but her musical tastes must be developed, so Albright College was selected. She entered Keystone State Normal School in the spring of 1909, and was a member of Philo Society. She is not as true to old Berks as she might be, for she selected her chum from Carbon and greatly admired Lebanon’s only masculine representative of our class. Mary expects to teach, but one thing is sure, she will monopolize one sentence in all her work. It is: “Who was the first man?” May the answer always be correct. 92 George Raymond Wean, Here is one of our May beauties. O my, isn’t he a darling? He visited the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wean, May 6, 1895. Imagine how- glad they were. George is a very good-natured fellow, and, indeed, is not afraid of his girl friends. One day, a few- years ago, George thought his favorite gem was the “Pearl.” He ate a large quantity of oysters that day, but in vain. Next day, as he was on his way to Normal School, going, of course, by train, he spied a little girl. “O but she is dear,” “ I w-onder who she is?” were the words we might have heard him say. On inquiring he found it w-as Pearl. Well, that certainly w-as the time w-hen George w-as happy. George, do not become disheartened, for the worst is yet to come. Now-, George is almost a graduate of Normal, and says he is going to take a special course; but he never tells us w-hat it is. Friends, think what it is. I know, but I dare not tell. Rhoda May Weidman, Some time when the leaves were turning golden and chestnuts w-ere falling, there came along through the air, a little elf. The leaves gave her hair some of their gold, the chestnuts gave their dark hue to her eyes, and the October skies gave a tender blush to her cheeks ; thus w-e have a picture of that baby that sw-elled the population of Bethel, Pa. Hitching “old Dobbin to the shay,” this precious charge was carefully taken to Stouchsburg, where she received her educa- tion, and graduated from Marion High School. She came to us in the spring of 1910, after having studied music at Albright College and taught school one term. She expects to teach until pensioned (so she says), but as she will continue the study of music, some day her sweet notes will be w-afted through the air and reach either the ears of some one very tall or some one in the medical profession. We used to hear her say, “It might have been.” She liked to work and she liked to play (ball). Rhoda was a Philo. 93 I,bRoy Elmer Wkrlky, R. I). No. 5. Kutztown. Martha Rutii Wickei LcRoy, the son of Elmer Jacob and Emma Harriet Werley, first saw the light of day, October 2, 1891. His early life was uneventful, as we see nothing about him in the archives of history. After receiving his early education in the public schools of Wcisenburg, from which he graduated in 1908, he heard of the grand opj ortunity of advancement offered to a young man at Kutz- town. Accordingly, he resumed his culture at this place in 190S. be Roy is a member of the Philo Literary Society. Our friend LeRoy has a talent to sing, which is very attractive. He often draws a bunch of admirers, and his comical songs afford plenty of music. With his melodious talent to fall back on, he ought to l ecome an interesting instructor of the young. Anyway, we wish him success in whatever he may attempt, and let us hoj c to meet him again when he has completed his college course, which he intends to take after he has been a successful educator.

Osville came to live on old Mother Earth twenty summers ago. He was a timid lad and somewhat bashful, but since at the Normal he outgrew this bashfulness to some extent. Fair maidens of the institution never attracted his attention, but we were ignorant of what took place w'hen he so frequently went back to Kcmp- ton, his home. He graduated from the public schools of his home in 1907, and then became a member of the class of 1911. He attended to his duties faithfully and we hope he will so continue. He expects to teach and finally take unto him- self a wife, when lie will be the maker of a good home.

Ruth, made her debut in this world several years after the Italian Renaissance. Accordingly, she is well acquainted with such men as Dante, Bocca- cio. From her appearance we might think her aspirations are lofty, but from what we hear, her higher ambitions are “playing tag,” which she hopes she may some day be able to carry out. We hope, Martha, that although it is sometimes necessary to leave school during the week, if we can accomplish our purpose, it will be a very good thing. We must not speak too plainly. Still we must remember that the Episcopalian was the established Church of England. According to some rumors, Martha will attend a medical school unless something else will interfere. Mary Elizabeth Wolfinger, Mary Elizabeth Wolfinger hails from South Perkasie, Bucks County, at which place she was born and where she still lives. She secured her elementary education in the public schools of her native town, and graduated from Perkasie High School in 1908. She entered Keystone State Normal School in the fall of 1909, joining Philo Society soon after her arrival. In society and classroom she has always been popular because of excellent work and a very amiable disposition. As in the case of many cf her classmates, Miss Wol finger intends to teach “for the present.' 95 Mary Yi;ager. Spring City. Mary is the flaxen-haired, curly-headed daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Yeager, of Spring City. At an early age she showed evidences of future greatness, and so was sent to the Spring City High School, from which institution she graduated in 1909. While attending this school she became noted for her power of conversation from which she will never fully recover. She left this school with the honorary title of “Queen of Fashions ' which she holds with dignity to the present day. Mary came to Keystone Normal with the full intention of preparing to be a “school inarm,” but changed her intentions when she met Reid. At school she proved especially proficient in mathematics, also Latin. In the latter her previous ability as a horse- woman aided her greatly. Her chief sjx rt is playing tennis left-handed. We predict a bril- liant career for her as a hair-dresser. Maurice Barto Yoder, Kutztown. I11 the stormy month of February, 1892, a child startled the town of Lyons—the Fortunate. He is the son of William D. and Annie Yoder. When at the early age of 1 i, his parents wheeled his majesty to Topton. Here the public school gave him his educational foundation. His early life was spent in town maneuvers, and his trail was always exciting to follow up. Again, Maurice’s parents found it best to migrate. This time they carted our friend to Kutztown. But you might ask, “Where is Maurice now?” That is a ques- tion, because his trail is always well covered up and his whereabouts unknown. He entered our school after he graduated from the town high school He is an active member of the Keystone Literary Society, in which he has held several offices. He was a member of the basketball team for three consecutive years and played left field on the baseball nine for two years. He intends to become a promoter of education in which we all wish him success. 96 Minn 11-; Minerva Voder, Kobesonia. Minnie Minerva is the fair-haired daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Voder. She was bom in Cornwall, a quiet little place like herself. After attending the public schools, she graduated from the Robesonia High .School in 1906. Thinking she would enjoy a business career, she attended the Inter-State Commercial College at Reading, graduating in 1907. Quiet Minnie now found employment as a bookkeeper. However, two years of this work was all she cared for, and so she came to Keystone Normal to finish her education. She soon connected herself with the Philomathean .Society and the V. W. C. A. She was always reserved and dignified, but as “silent waters run deep,” we can not tell what she was always thinking about. However, she will make a good teacher, and we hope she will keep up her steady course thus far pursued. Ciiari.es Henry Yost, R. I). No. 1. Tamaqua. Charles Henry Yost started his career March ii, 1894, at Tamaqua, Schuylkill County, where he still resides. He attended the Walker Township Public Schools, and after laying a good educational foundation there, January 1, 1909, found him at Keystone Normal. Mr. Yost was an active member of the Keystone Literary Society, and was also prominent in the V. M. C. A. work of the school, being sent as a delegate to the Northfield Students Conference in 1910. He expects to teach for several years and then continue his education at college, specializing in engineering. Although he is a hard worker, yet he found spare time to go on the tennis court with somebody’s sister, lhen he could be heard as well as seen. He liked to perform daring feats on his feet. He is very fond of the State Capitol, and he has a special guide when he visits it, for Mabel is always a good conductor. 97 Laura Lydia Yost, R. D. No. i, Tamaqua. Who came to this big world in the town of Tamaqua, at least eighteen years ago, but Laura Lydia Yost. She attended the schools in Walker Township. After completing this course she entered Keystone State Normal and was a faithful student. She was also a member of Keystone. Laura was a very noisy girl and a great worker for Young Women’s Christian Association. She expects to teach after the completion of her Normal course. We trust that our Laura will be a successful school inarm, and we all feel sure that her pupils will try to imitate this lady of wonderful personality. Raymond Kivkpi-k Zkchman, Sinking Spring. Raymond Kerper Zechman, born on August 17, 1891, has always been proud to claim Sinking Spring, Berks County, for ins home. It was here that he passed through the various school grades until in 1909, when he was graduated from the High School of his native town. That fall he entered Keystone State Normal, where he joined the Y. M. C. A., the Athletic Association, and the Philo Society. He was one of the presidents of the Philo Society and also held other offices in that body. Besides purely intellectual training, Mr. Zechman has learned the trade of painting and paper hanging. He expects to become a teacher after graduation. 98 Elsie Adaline Zellxer, Lehighton. Elsie Adaline Zcllncr was born at North White- hall, Lehigh Comity, but has for some time claimed Lehigh ton. Carbon County, as her home. At this latter place she attended school until 1909, when she became a High School graduate. The following fall she entered Keystone Normal as a middler. At school Miss Zdlncr was identi- fied with the Y. W. C. A., the Philo Society, the Athletic Association, and also a secret and mysterious order known as the M. U. (� . She expects to take up the profession of teaching in her home town after graduation. Constant Howard Zimmerman, R. I). No. 2, Brcinigsville. Constant first imbibed the atmosphere of Weisenburg on October 14,1887. After spending several eventful years in the Weisenburg Schools, he graduated. Being a good student and edu- cationally inclined, Constant got an idea to continue his education. He then attended the Normal School for one year. The next year found him instructing youngsters in a rural school. This seemed to appeal to him. so he returned to the Normal and decided to finish the course. He, like Constantine I, applied himself to develop those latent powers. By the aid of a few well-worn books he succeeded in transferring some of their thoughts to his mental capacity. Frequently he was at bay with the sines and cosines, but by his constant efforts he mastered them. He has the characteristics of a worthy man in the community to which he may go, and being naturally enthusiastic in his work he will make good in the cold, cold world. 99 3n jQ emoriam. Whereas, It lias pleased Almighty God in His infinite and immeasur- able wisdom to call from the walks of early life Harry J. Bordner, one of the most faithful and conscientious members of our class, of the Philo- mathcan Literary Society, and Y. M. C.

There are also numerous pieces of sculpture, friezes and slabs. The collection is one of the largest ever presented to the school and will be a valuable addition to the museum. Christopher Shearer has painted many pictures of both foreign and our own home scenery, of which latter production his ” Maidencreek ” appeals more strongly to the taste and feelings than any other of his rural scenes. The picture is 5x$l feet in size, and is encased in a 12-inch gold and walnut frame. This picture was at one time located in Philadelphia. Class of 1911, this is a good beginning. Let future classes follow your example. Let us all keep up the good work. I I. T. S. 108 mmm
