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

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.

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
