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

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

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
