' The Board of Kditors •- J ?( i tutc - PROF. D. S. KECK DAVID S. KECK son of II Thomas and Isabella Keck, was born in North Whitehall, Lclngh Countv October 6. 1852. He received his early school training in the public school's and later entered the Keystone State Normal School, from which insti- tution he graduated in 1874- His parents were not burdened with too much earthly treasure and the father passing away while our subject was a mere child, the latter, before lie was twelve years old spent his summers working in the iron mines of Lehigh and his winters attending public school, and in this way he helped his mother to support the family. In the spring of 1869 Judge Laury, after whom our subject was named, gave him money to pay his expenses at the Normal for 011c term. Before gradu- ating lie taught during three terms the same school that he had attended when a child. When he came back to the Normal, through the influence of Judge Schwartz, a trustee, lie was appointed to sweep the class rooms, take care of the fires in these rooms, and ring the bell. In this way he earned his board and tuition. After graduating, in 1874, he was elected principal of the public schools of Hamburg. He held that position until 1877, when the Trustees of the Key- stone State Normal School offered him the Superintendency of the Model Department. He held this position until 1881, when he was elected County Superintendent of the public schools of Berks County. This position he held until 1890. From 1890 to July, 1891, his home was in New York City. He had charge of the Bonded Freight Department of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. When he resigned this position, he accepted the supervisorship of all the Indian schools in District No. 5, covering all of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. Before he started for his western field of labor he was married to Miss Susan Kaufman, Preceptress in the Keystone Normal. Their wedding trip took them to Albuquerque, New Mexico, which happened to be his headquarters while he was in the government service. Frontier life was too rough for our subject ; lie resigned his position in the summer of 1893 and on his way cast he spent a month at the World’s Columbian Exposition. The year ’93-’94 he spent on his farm making improvements and having the buildings repaired. In the summer vacation of 1894, Professor Neff passed away and our subject was appointed by the Trustees of the Keystone State Normal School to take his place— teaching United States History and English Grammar—a position which he still holds. In the summer of 1883, Ursinus College honored our subjecct by conferring upon him the degree of Master of Arts. In 1885 our subject was elected treas- urer of the Pennsylvania State Educational Association and he still holds that position, having been kept there by annual re-election. None of his predecessors ever held that position so many years. During these thirty years nearly eighty thousand dollars of the Association’s money was handled by the treasurer and he 6 ?( { has accounted for every cent of it—a record of which he feels truly proud. He has seen the membership grow from 220 to 10.865. Professor Keck is a member of Huguenot Lodge, F. and A. M. ever since 1877. He passed through the chairs and thus he is a Past Master by merit. He served his lodge as secretary for a period of five years and in 1895 the members elected him treasurer, which he has held ever since by annual re-election. 7 MISS CLARA A. MYDRS, M.

Boom! Bang! CLASS HISTORY illustrious class of 1916 had its humble but significant origin in the ill preparatory or D class of 1911. On September 5 of that year a number of enterprising young men and women entered the Keystone State Normal School. Though most of 11s felt strange in our unfamiliar environment, we soon learned to recognize the school as our second home. This was, in part, due to the joint efforts of the two Christian Associations, the members of which gave a reception to welcome the new students. Then, too, the assistance of the teach- ers and kindheartedness of schoolmates soon made us feel at home in our new abode. On returning in the fall of 1912 as first year students we found that our number had increased, an augmentation that was repeated the next year. This earlier time passed all too quickly for many of us, though many lectures and entertainments enlivened their passing. At the beginning of the third year we were 154 in number, which, before the close of the year was reduced to 151, three of our members being lost by mishaps of various sorts. At this time we began to consider ourselves of some importance and organized for the first time, electing our officers. Throughout the fall and winter terms class meetings were held at various times whenever important matters were to be considered. Between the seniors and our class there was considerable good natured rivalry as was shown by the number of games of basketball in which representa- tives of the two classes participated. To our delight almost invariably our team walked from the floor victorious. As the spring term came to an end we were terrified by the approach of the June examinations—faculty and state. The faculty examinations were conducted in the classrooms, contrary to the usual custom, and were easily passed. Our terror at facing the State Board was intensified when we heard the unwelcome news that we would have an examination in political geography. Through the strenuous efforts of Miss Myers we practically covered the subject in two weeks. A great weight was lifted from our hearts, however, when we heard the decision of the State Board—that all of 11s had successfully passed the examinations. On the Thursday evening following the final examinations our class gave to the departing seniors a banquet, which proved quite a success, though such a thing had never been tried here before. Another item of history worth noting is that when vacation came, some of the boys of the class went to Xorthficld. Mass., while some of the girls went to Eaglcsmcrc, to attend the national con- ferences of the Christian Associations, sent there as delegates by their respective associations. The rest of us sorrowfully departed for our homes for the summer betore we returned in the autumn for our exercise on the “home stretch.” Returning in the fall of 1915 as seniors, we adopted a quiet and dignified attitude as becomes those who have attained seniority. The reception given by the Christian Associations on the first Friday evening of the school year was a marked success. Strenuous efforts were put forth at this time by both societies in order to obtain as many new members as possible. Our work in the literary societies was supervised by Miss Stier during the year and fine programs were rendered as the result of her efforts. At the beginning of that initial term of the year the new library across the street was opened to the public. This has proved a great opportunity for us and the degree of our appreciation, as well as that of our fellow students, is evidenced by the number who gather in the library from day to day. The crowning event of the fall term was the Philomathean anniversary, held on the evening of Tuesday. November 3. The general theme of the symposium was “America first, or the primacy of the United States.” In this public func- tion a number of our classmates showed marked oratorical ability. The society used this as a fitting occasion to add one hundred dollars to the fund started for a Pennsylvania alcove in the new library. Towards the close of the winter term eight members of our class were vic- tims of the scarlatina germs which invaded our school. This number was aug- mented by members from other classes. Because the school was quarantined for a period of four weeks the Keystone anniversary was postponed until the spring term. On the week following our return to the work of the spring term the Key- stone anniversary was held. The speakers, likewise members of the class of 1916, added honor to the class with their splendid performances. Their theme was “Historical Pennsylvania. They, following the example of their fellow-society, also added one hundred dollars to the fund for a Pennsylvania alcove. On account of the quarantine many public speaking programs were rendered by members of the class during the spring term, since the course demands that each senior must appear in public at least once. Some of the themes of the pro- grams were “Whittier,” “Lincoln, “Temperance,” “Peace, “Flag Day,” and “The European War.” Now the present school year approaches its end and we must prepare to enter upon a new and larger life, a life not under the guardianship of superiors but a life in which we are to guide and direct the steps of others. We bid our Alma Mater farewell, the buildings and grounds which have afforded us days that shall never be forgotten. In leaving we realize too well the words of the poet: There arc gains for all our losses, There are balms for all our pains: But when youth, the dream departs. It takes something from our hearts, And it never comes again. 12 “We are stronger, and arc better, Under manhood's sterner reign: Still we feel that something sweet Follow'd youth, with Hying feet, And will never come again. “Something beautiful is vanish'd, And we sigh for it in vain: We behold it everywhere, On the earth and in the air, But it never comes again!” HAROLD G. DIETRICH CLASS PROPHECY rWENTIETH century education offers various opportunities for educational achievement. Never before in the history of the world have there been offered to men and women greater advantages, richer opportunities, or larger possibilities to rise to the pinnacle of usefulness and fame. But those whom fortune has led to the altar of fame are invariably individuals of the strictest integrity and honor, men who have labored strenuously amidst pro- found discouragements, even in the depths of despair, unknown, unrewarded, until the hour arrived when they won success. There always have been individuals whose objective in life is higher than it is possible for them to attain. Some will be instrumental in elevating the standards of human life to higher planes because they have probed the mysteries of nature to their deepest depths and have assisted in broadening the scope of intellectual possibilities and the psychic capacity of those with whom they asso- ciate. 'I'hose who reach such special and professional heights may be compared to fertile oases in a great desert, to which oases come great caravans of people seeking intellectual nourishment. Or they may be likened to bright lights illum- inating the darkness of the vicinage, dispersing the widely prevalent gloom of ignorance and superstition for these substituting truths and lofty ideals. The successive pages of history are being turned silently, but we are too much engrossed by the events of the present to think much of the past. Each successive age is like a volume laid aside to be opened no more. The popular idol of to-day displaces the hero of yesterday in our attention. To-morrow this object of interest will, in turn, be displaced by its successor. There is a continuous evolution, a striving to attain to higher planes, ever new developments of strength and beauty, creating new ideals in literature, philosophy, science, and art. Constantly men are rising to diviner heights of love, wisdom, and power. To-morrow the members of the class of 1916 will part from each other. W herever we go, however, we shall yet be united by memories of the comrade- ship which we enjoyed while here at school. Twenty years from now fifty per cent, of our number will be successful in the profession of teaching, forty per cent, will be achieving success in other fields of activity, and the remainder will have passed to their eternal reward. The first man whose future is to be predicted is William A. Albitz. He will some day be an eminent pedagogue, having gained renown by his ability and his winsome appeal to his pupils Edna Aldcrfer will change her name to Grace and will be the wife of a Lutheran minister in New York. Lillie Alshutz will take the place of Professor Surface in lecturing on scien- tific farming and insect study. 14 Beulah Allen, as Mrs. Dietrich, will start an art needle club in Kutztown and will be an active worker in this community. Helen Bachman will be appointed teacher of mathematics at Swarthmore College. Marion Bardill, true to her greatest ambition, is keeping her husband on Waldorf salad in Delaware Wilson Barto will be one of New York's most famous surgeons after com- pleting a course at the University of Berlin. Ella Bear will be matron of the home for old ladies at Kirbyville. Raymond L. Barner will follow his chosen profession as a lecturer. We wish him success. We now turn to Bryan Bean, who will follow his vocation as an agricul- turist. His name is very suggestive as to the crop—beans, his favorite vegetable, —which lie will raise. Anna M. Best will secure the position of cashier at Green's Pharmacy in Pottsville. Behold, Paul B. Bordner ! Five years hence he will be one of the world’s greatest mathematicians, teahing in some famous university. Karl W. Boyer’s ambition is to be a minister. He thinks it would be nice to marry couples and confesses that he wouldn’t mind coupling up himself so as to gain experience which as a married as well as a marrying parson he might give to those who will come to him to be made one. Esther Bower and I,eon Ralm will be the most progressive scientific farmers between Allentown and Kutztown. Mary Brown and Vera Lachman will receive the shirker’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania. Ruth Boyer, after completing a course in music at the Ithaca Conservatory, will become a singer in a church at Bath. Gertrude Bright will accept the agency for the “Good Housekeeping magazine. William D. Carpenter’s name will in a few years be recorded among the world’s greatest orators. His is a very proper ambition because his voice can be heard distinctly across a ten-acre field. Reading will receive another Star Dramatic Company in which Helen J. Moyer will do the laughing stunt, Sophia Pisco will be the reader. Aletha Cole the vocalist, and Alfred Schweycr the lecturer. Our philosopher, B. Bruce Cosden, will attain what now lie seeks, the summit of his ambition, recognized eminence in philosophy. Years from now Amos Cosden's name will be leading the roll of the world's greatest humorists. His present ever-ready wit is some warrant for this pre- diction. Catherine Costello will take Charley Chaplain's place in the movies. She will play for the Schueing Company. 15 Edna DeTurk and Edith Manvillo will be missionaries in China. Olive DeTurk and Esther Warr will complete a course in physics at the Chicago University, after which the former will be a teacher in science at Key- stone Normal and the latter at Cornell. Edna M. Dicner. Laura E. Dicnstel, and Ida M. Dietrich, the well-known trio at the Normal, will organize a flying squadron and give lectures in all the prominent cities on fashions. Harold G. Dietrich will invent an airship propelled by perpetual motion. He claims that this machine can travel at a speed of 175 miles per hour and at the altitude of twenty miles. Irwin W. Dietrich will become a great jurist. Possessed of a keen and astute mind, characterized by truthfulness, he will, we predict, have a successful career. Laila Dunkelbergcr and Mabel Enoch will be models posing for the art department of the Ladies' Home Journal. Claris W. Enterline in a few years will be listed among America's greatest female chemists. Margaret C. Evans, as wife of a Lutheran minister, will do fine missionary work among the foreigners at Forty Fort. Allen D. Fenstermacher will be the proprietor of a New York restaurant. He will find the eating business more lucrative than teaching. Verna M. Fistcr will be the teacher of penmanship at the Allentown College for Women. Mamie E. Fluck will give the young folks of Emaus instruction in domestic science. John R. Flexer will find his chosen profession very profitable and will win laurels in the schoolroom. Edwin J. Fox will follow a course of scientific farming. We are very certain that he will make a success of it. Jennie V. Fritch, after finding teaching not the most desirable profession, will take charge of the playgrounds at Reading. Esther G. Garis will be one of America’s greatest pianists. Howard W. Good, in a few years, will conduct a matrimonial agency. His fees will be five cents for a marriage and ten cents for a divorce, consequently he expects to make fifteen cents from most folks who will engage his services. He has a “bright” future before him. Mamie Grcenawalt will be one of the leading suffragettes of Schuylkill coun- ty, where she will lecture on temperance as well as on woman’s rights. Morris S. Greth will conduct a five and ten cent store in. some large city, making children s toys a specialty. We are sure that his business will be well patronized by his classmates. Alina Grim will be the wife of one of the leading professors in languages at K. S. N. S.

His somewhat stormy temperament is possibly due to the fact that he cam? to increase the population of Siesholtzville one stormy morn ing in January some years ago. He is a product of tl a Longswamp high school where, as he tells us. he got a sheepskin in 1914. His father expects him to become an orator some day. as well as a teacher, and therefore sent him to K. S. X. S. That he is likely to realize his father's hopes is evidenced in that he was elected an anniversary performer by the Keystone Society. At first Billy was very much disinclined to his female schoolmates, but he must have changed his mind, for now he says: 'Es is nimy wie wars ols. He often speaks of his II-----------S---------days. when Winnie is near. Since he uses an auto he dropped Latin and has become an expert in German, as the foregoing quotation shows. What Billy will do after his Normal days arc over we are unable to tell. Present indications warrant the prophecy that he will rank high as an orator. EDNA A. ALDERFER.....................................Soudkkton Pa. “Trust not too much to that enchanting face; Beauty’s a charm but soon the charm will pass.” One day preceding George Washington’s natal day, Edna was born in Zicglersvillc. loiter she wandered to Souderton. where she attracts much attention by her vocal ability. Folks, however, didn't seem to appreciate her se- lections. so after having completed the high school course she became one of our merry group at Keystone. Edna has developed a perfect mania for walking, and we arc glad she is such a keen observer. Nothing escapes her notice and especially when one of the opposite sex ap- pears. Edna goes over her same old story : “Isn't he cute. He certainly is a swell dresser. I wonder whether he is going to be a minister ?” Her highest ambition is to be- come the wife of a minister, hence she is always on the out- look for clerical-looking boys. Her chief source of delight is in attending the movies, which she hopes will not unfit her for her future duties. “A word to the wise is suffi- cient. Applications from gentlemen without ministerial aspirations will be in vain. May fortune speedily bring her the best it has in store. 24 Shenandoah. Pa. LILLIE C. ALSHUTZ Three little rules we all should keep, To make life happy and bright; Smile in the morning, smile at noon, And keep on smiling at night. When we look into the face of this sweet girl, we can see her good nature shining out of her eyes. She hails from Shenandoah and after graduating from the high school of that place, regarding her education incomplete, she journeyed to K. S. N. S. to prepare herself for the pro- fession of teaching. “Lil,” as she is usually called, is a good talker, but her chosen profession requires ability in that. Lil always seemed innocent when the talk drifted to the opposite sex, but the discovery of some class songs and yells from “Lehigh proved that she didn’t always give everybody the benefit of her thoughts. Since no person is perfect Lil” has her faults, the greatest of which is punc- tuality. When she arrives it's time to begin. Being a member of the “famous trio,” she was a fre- quent visitor to “98,” where from 6 to 7 she joined the duet in entertaining friends. She is a firm believer in women's rights and we may some time find her a member of Congress. BEULAH F. ALLEM...............................Pleasant Valley, Pa. This charming little lass was born at Pleasant Valley some time in the nineties. She attended the Pleasant Valley public schools; also the Springfield township high school in Pleasant Valley. She entered the Keystone State Nor- mal School in 1913 as a member of our class. Beulah is an industrious little girl and it is an unusual thing to find her idle. She is willing to help out all those girls who come to her for aid, cither in sewing or hair dressing. Nothing seems too hard for her to undertake. She has won many friends by her genial disposition. She loves to read good books and papers and is especially fond of the Woman’s Home Companion.” This we know to be true because most every day she can be found over in the library reading it. She is fond of Thursdays and Sundays, when we have Good Dinners. In society she often repeats Those longing eyes, I feel are fixed upon me. She said one day, “The only thing I remember from our yesterday lesson is 'Let nature take its course' and ‘All is well in all things.’ Beulah is a faithful Philomathean and also a faithful Y. W. C. A. worker. We wish her success in her chosen work as teacher. 25 HELEN E. BACHMAN R. D., I-Ikixkrtown, Pa. It was on Mav 29. 1898. that llellertown was startled by a little laugh from a little girl who had just arrived at the home of Peter A. Bachman. Growing up she attended the public school at Limekiln and later entered Saucon high sschool, from which she graduated in 1914. Thence she came to the Keystone State Normal School. She has al- ways displayed a sunny disposition. Her merry laugh was always heard and her motto was Laugh and grow fat.” She was a lively girl and therefore heard many raps on her door. One of Helen’s chief pleasures is experimenting with mirrors, often being seen standing before the mirror trying to study something that seemed to be behind it. Of course, she was trying to find the principal focus. She is a mem- ber of the Y. W. C. A. and also of the Keystone Literary Society. Helen has great faith in the “Russellites” and expects to followin their footsteps. Helen will teach near Helcrtown in the central gram- mar school, but she will not always be a teacher—she is far too graceful; she will reign supreme in some home in her dear old Northampton county, where so many good people dwell. MARION P. BARDILL....................................Nazareth, Pa. “Happy 1 am, from care I'm free, Why arn't they all just as happy as me ?” The holy place of Nazareth welcomed a brown-eyed, smiling babe one cold day in January, and it was none other than Marion Pauline, better known as Jack.” Marion is a jolly and entertaining girl, especially when with the “Big Six, but her one fault is she talks too loud and consequent- ly receives a few gentle reminders.” She is especially fond of the opposite sex, for her Naz- areth high school life was quite as thrilling as her Normal life is. Marion always seems to attract a great deal of attention. When she made her debut at Keystone Normal she was surrounded by admirers and it kept her friends guessing which it would be. Harry, George, or Bruce. It didn’t take her long to decide, however, as she is very fond of (Bruce)ter’s chocolates. Marion’s time is much taken up with tennis, but her chief diversion is spending her time at the library reading the “Days of Bruce.” Although Marion has chosen to become a “school marm4” she thinks five years of teaching is sufficient for any one. What her future occupation will be we will leave for you to guess. 26 RAYMOND T. BAR NER Kutztown, Pa. This is Raymond Barncr from Kutztown. He beheld the light of day for the first time in Wcisenberg township. Like many other energetic young men he soon came to Kutztown and entered the Normal School as a first year man. The ladies do not attract him, although he can hardly escape from conversing with them. He is very industrious and is seldom found idle. He is very quiet until some sci- entific discussion arouses him. He is the Archimedes of the Normal School. His literary ability is such as is befitting a strong Philomathean. He delights in spending hours translating German. Above all, he essays to be a scientist. He expects to teach for a few years and then enter Muh- lenberg College, there to pursue a scientific course with the hope that some day lie may be the head of the scientific department of some university. If he continues as he has begun, Raymond is likely to attain to his present aspira- tions. WILSON H. BARTO WivATHivRLY, Pa. “ Tis from high life high characters are drawn; A saint in crepe is twice a saint in lawn.” —A. Pope. When this young man first saw the light of day he had the fortune of being not “well born but born on Top(ton)” and he is endeavoring to stay there in all he attempts. From his first name one could draw a mental picture of a well known educator and this may foreshadow his future greatness. Wilse, as lie is generally known among his classmates, received his early education at Weatherly, but nothing less than a Normal education would do for a young man cf his perseverance and aspirations. He soon had a large circle of friends, but it was not until his senior year that he became interested in the girls. Since this new ob- session has seized him he has been all smiles when mention is made of a particular third year student. He is especially noted for his use of big words, which he uses frequently and fluently. After teaching a few years “Wilse” wiil study medicine, his preliminary course being taken in Kutz- town. He is a faithful member of the Keystone Literary Society. 27 O. BRYAN BEAN Ferndale, Pa. The more a man loves, the more he suffers. The sum of possible grief for each soul is in proportion to its degree of perfection.—A mux One fine August morning in the year 1896, a promis- ing Bean first saw the light of day in the beautiful village of Ferndalc. This changeable Bean, not satisfied with the culture received in the public schools, attended the Nocka- mix n high, and in the fall of 1914 was attracted to the Keystone Normal. Here he became an active member of the Philo. Society and an all around good student. The history of education period, however, was the one which gave him most scholas- tic ( ?) enjoyment. This is not a stringless Bean, as is indicated by the numerous attachments existing between him and the girls. “Variety is the spice of life,” seems to be his motto. “Variety is the spice of life.” During his last year he was exceedingly busy answer- ing letters received during the day. He usually addressed them to the “Mills of Ferndale” until that partnership dis- solved Thereupon he formed the acquaintance of a second year girl becoming interested in the photography business of Allentown. A shoe manufacturer by trade, he intends to teach a few years and then take up scientific farming. ELLA M. BEAR R. D. No. 2, Bkkinigsvilxe, Pa. “The deepest rivers make least din. The silent soul doth most abound in care.” This brown-eyed maiden was born on a bright and sunny day in April, some time during the nineteenth cen- tury. Though she always seems to be a demure young lady, looks arc often deceitful. She however believes in the say- ing, “There is a time to work and a time to play.” Ella is one of the energetic girls in our class, good natured, ever ready to lend a helping hand. Through her sun-shiny laugh she has become quite popular in New Build- ing, especially in gymnasium. She believes in putting her knowledge to use, as was shown at the famous “midnight ghost party,” at which she proved to be a most tactful host- ess. Philo. Society was proud to claim her as one of its members, for Ella was faithful to duty and service. She is fond of reading, as was shown by her frequent visits to the library. It is not altogether certain, however, which she found the more interesting, the books or the conversation. She tells us she is going to make teaching her life work, but as she believes in the policy of “ Watchful waiting,” it is not unlikely that she may change her ideas. 28 ANNA M. BEST....................................Northampton, Pa. Anna is one of our little but jolly New Building girls. She is one of the best of the Northampton students and since her arrival here has taken upon herself the duties of an alarm clock. Although Anna is a faithful student, yet she never for- gets that athletics is also very interesting. Formerly she was wont to attend every basket-ball game since someone was sure to wait (wart) for her with an air (luft) of im- patience. Anna loves nature and of all nature's beautiful colors she loves green best and her attendance at the baseball games is due to her expecting to see Green in the fore- ground. She has linguistic and elocutionary ability. Philo. Society finds in her one of its strongest members, always doing her best so long as it’s for the sake of her Society. Besides being a Y. W. C. . worker Anna has found Bible Band work most interesting. During the early evening hours her time is spent in the library. Her plans for the future are varied and brilliant. We wish that Bright may her future be, And every dawning day Bring joy and peace alway. PAUL B. BORDNER Kutztowx, Pa. Behold and turn not away. He whose likeness adorns this page is a man unique and alone in his greatness. When the class of 1916 began an illustrious career at Normal it contained a man whose name is Paul Bordner. better known as “Bordy.” His dignified and austere bear- ing at once marked him as a future great scholar in life about ‘‘Old Keystone.” Environment, together with heredity, exerts a wonder- ful influence in making a person's character. “Bordy” has always been a diligent student of nature. This furnished him with many high ideals and lofty aspirations. He learned to handle “horses with so much agility that whether a literal or an interlinear, they never balked or refused to pull. His past is tedious in volume, his present mysterious in form, and his future boundless in bright hope. “Bordy” will at some not so remote day be recognized as one of the world’s greatest mathematicians. His classmates wish him success in his chosen profession. He is an active member of the Philomathean Literary Society. 29 ESTHER L. BOWER Allbntown, Pa. Esther Louisa, one of the most distinguished girls of the class, is a most enthusiastic patriot. She dotes on In- dians and is constantly chattering about Carlisle. After having graduated from the high school of her home city she came to Kutztown, where she has displayed much ability as a faithful member of the Keystone Liter- ary Society. She is a vigorous advocate of women's rights and is always telling of some notable speeches she has on the subject. The society, however, has not been privileged to hear one of them as yet. Esther admires noble men, tall and dark haired.—one in particular. Of this Noble she declaims even in her slum- bers. Then she, somehow, is interested in the Klondike.— especially in the—ike. She has athletic tendencies and has been dubbed The Acrobat of Fifth Hall. She can hardly be called conceited, notwithstanding the fact that she is often found posing before her mirror and it is not at all a rare thing to find her posing over a volume of “beauty hints.” Karl Wright Boyer, son of the vice-principal of our school, can be truly called a son of the institution. Although born at Mount Carmel in the late nineties, he has lived in the school the greater part of his life. His education was begun in the Model School and he entered the Normal department in 1911. His connection with the class from its inception, coupled with his pleasing personality, account in some degree for his wide acquaintance. He is a fine student and has a fund of general knowledge. He was an active member of Philo. Society, missing no opportunity to laud or. if necessary, to defend Roosevelt whenever as- sailed. Karl is a staunch Roosevelt man. He was a Y. M. C. A. cabinet member. During the last two years, lie noticed that the other side of the institution was popu- lated with beauteous beings. Even now his diary would disclose various names and secrets. But, remember, when she said in irgil, He’s mine. From what we have seen and heard expressed. Karl's sentiment is: Sherman may have made a march From Georgia to the sea: A walk with “Peg from class to class Is good enough for me. His fondness for chicken foretells his future profession. 30 Kutztown, Pa. RUTH E. BOYER Allentown. Pa. If music be the food of love, play on.” —Shakespeare Schuylkill county feels proud of being the birthplace of such an ambitious character as Ruth Emily, who made her appearance in Taniaqua, October 29, 1896. from whence she migrated to the beautiful city of Allentown, and per- haps unconsciously she may some day migrate to a more beautiful city, “Bath.” Ruth believes in taking part in everything, especially in tennis, feasts, Hallowe’en parties, and even walks in the country. She was especially fond of making “Lemon” ade for feasts, which she liked better than Root “Beer.” Ruth possessed not only musical talent, but February 22, 1916, proved to her hearers that she was an oratress of some ability. She was very studious, which is proven by her success in graduating in the course of voice culture at the Keystone State Normal School, her favorite piece being “Ich liebc dich.” Ruth was one of the few maidens at K. S. N. S. who was noted for her great beauty. The charming glance which came from those beautiful brown eyes told of a love hidden in her bosom for all with whom she associated. Ruth is a jolly girl, yet she believes in being serious about things. She has many friends at Normal who wish her success in her chosen field of work after her Normal course. MARY B. BROWN....................................................Ashland. Pa. This is an Ashland maiden, although she was born at Old Forge, Pa. just a little over twenty years ago. Since then she has been a resident of several different commu- nities until Ashland finally claimed her. but not for long, from present appearances. There arc things that indicate that she may make her final home elsewhere than in the country of black diamonds. Her life at school has been a pleasant albeit not infrequently a noisy one. She never missed a recitation unless because of absolute necessity—so she declares “Never shirk a duty, but do the best you can,” is an excellent maxim—if followed. Mary is quite a letter writer and much paper and ink was used in room 303 in the effort to tell the news by mail to--------------. Mary is an elocutionist of some fame and did splen- didly as speaker at the anniversary of the Keystone Literary Society. Mice, bees, bats, bugs, and thunderstorms are particularly horrifying to Mary, and not even the most enthusiastic naturalist can ever change Mary’s notions as to these things. To them she has a confirmed aversion. 31 GERTRUDE BRIGHT Hamburg, Pa. 11 was on a golden day in October, some time in the nineties, that Gertrude made her appearance in Hamburg. After graduating with highest honors from the high school in that town, she determined to continue her education and take up the profession of teaching. September 7. 1914. saw her joining the student body at K. S. X. S. During her two years sojourn here her sunniness of disoosition and willingness to help others has won her many friends. Gertrude’s one weakness is her tendency to sleep, her greatest longing when the rising taps ring is to sleep a little longer. She is extremely fond of canoeing and when she came back from vacation she brought with her memories of pleasant hours spent on trips up the river. For a long time she appeared entirely heart free, but lately she has greatly enjoyed the good times she has so frequently on the tennis courts. Another pleasure she had was going to lectures in company with a good young gen- tleman. lake most of us she enjoyed those lectures after which we are allowed to tarry until the big bell rings. Gertrude used to tell us that she was going to specialize in kindergarten work, but during the last year she has for- gotten to talk about it, so we think that perhaps she is planning something better. May good luck be hers always! WILLIAM D. CARPENTER Egg Harbor City. X. J. This tall and angular young man was born on the shores of the historic Lake Eric. His birth town was Corry. Here lie received his elementary education and advanced so far as the high school. It was while still in “High” that his parents decided to take him nearer the Atlantic Ocean. William at once entered the high school at Egg Harbor, his new home, and graduated in 1914. Having still some affection for the state of his birth and wishing to. enter the field of pedagogy, he chose old Keystone as the place to obtain preparation for work in this field. Bill joined Keystone Literary Society, and his ora- torical ability won for him the privilege of representing that society at its annual anniversary. In the Y. M. C. A. he was an active worker and could be depended on in any emergency. “Bill’s ambition is to be a county superintendent, and for that reason he is beginning at the bottom. He intends teaching in the country schools so as to obtain first-hand knowledge, and then climb to higher positions. Carry back to the state of New Jersey the ideals that you have obtained at Keystone and vour friends will lie sure of your success. 32 ANNA C. COLE...............................R. D., Northampton, Pa. The vicinity of Northampton claims the honor of being the birthplace of this charming young blonde. Graduating from the Northampton high school, her desire for knowl- edge was aroused to such an extent that she decided to come to K. S. N. S. and join our class. Anna never paid special attention to the gentlemen while here. This can probably be explained by the fact that she frequently received most interesting epistles from Yale. But though this was the case, certain of our Y. M. C. A. officers took perceptible interest in her. She is a good alarm clock, especially at the midnight hour. If inclined to doubt this just ask some of the girls in New Building. Anna is an earnest student and is one of the most faithful of Keystonians. Besides this she is an active mem- ber of the Y. W. C. A., being its secretary and one of the happy delegates sent to Eagles Mere. Anna likes her food weel teasoned, and she is especially fond of salt. She ex- pects to teach for but a short time. This is because, as one of our professors said, she expects to change the spelling of her name. Then she will put into use her theoretical course of domestic science. B. BRUCE COSDEN................................................Woodsidi:, Dv.u. This young man Cosden was born in the vicinity of YVoodsidc. Del. Having, during his earlier years, had much exj erience with monstrous alligators, huge mosquitoes and other feaful living things roaming the wilds of that little state, he thought he was sufficiently seasoned to enter K. S. N. S., which he did in the fall of 1913. For a time after coming to Pennsylvania and Kutz- town he was properly modest and subdued in manner. Later lie began to assert himself and soon became upon the Normal stage a personage of no mean importance. He has certain qualifications for leadership and has devel- oped rapidly on various lines. He has military proclivities and would look well in uniform. Bruce is somewhat of a metaphysical turn of mind, considers himself well read on scientific subjects, quotes Huxley glibly, and is always ready to accept a challenge from Goody. or other antagonists for discussion of evo- lution. He also claims, with some evidence to maintain his claims, to be well informed on history. Peter the Hermit is one of his heroes. Bruce was an earnest member of the Keystone Literary Society: an active member of the Y. M. C. A.; a leading member of the class track team; a staunch Democrat; a member of the Pipe Aisle Squad, and a charter member of the Sunrise Strolling Club. 33 ALETHA V. COLE Sinking Spring, Pa. « The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight. But they while their companions slept Were toiling upward in the night. —Longfellow This member of our class found time to prove that ”To be a friend is to have a friend by willingness to serve others. Although we know that Alctha Verda is one of the strongest students of the class, she has also proved that worldly pleasures appeal to her. for she says one of the most enjoyable afternoons was spent watching “The birth of a nation” (during leap year). Her interest did not pall, (or Paul). Here's a connundrum: “Why did Alctha take French?” and here’s the answer, “Because she is a 'Bright' girl.” In reviewing the history of the three years which she soent here we can say that whatever she did was well done, both in class and in society. She was also a faithful worker of the Y. W. C. A., being one of its cabinet members. She plans to teach school for two years. After that—well, for her after life, if she has plans, she has not made them public. W. AMOS COS DEN Woodside, Del. Nineteen years ago the town of Woodside, Delaware, was apprised of the fact that its population was increased by the advent of a little red-headed boy. “Red, as he is best known among his friends, grew up rather rapidly into a tall young man who is always ready for any fun that may be going on. His school days, beginning in the public school of Woodside, were continued in the Dover grammar school, and lately in the Keystone Normal. He is a charter member of our class. Red” took an active interest in school athletics ever since he came to Kutztown, donning very soon the K. S. N. S. baseball uniform. He played different positions and finally landed at first base, which he covers in a competent manner. In basket ball he has been the star guard for three seasons on the varsity. He is a member of the Keystone Literary Society and served as one of the orators at the annual anniversary. He was not known to associate with any special mem- ber of the fair sex until his senior year, when he selected a partner from the class of 1917. As to his choice no criti- cisms may be offered. 34 CATHARINE E. COSTELLO Hokendauqua, Pa. Hitherto she kept her love concealed And with those graces every day beheld The graceful youth. —Dryden Catharine Costello, better known as “Cos,” was born in Hokcndauqua in the month of August, 1897, but she has spent the greater part of her life in New York. Upon her return to this part of the country, she came to Keystone Normal to prepare for teaching. All through her school life “Cos showed great interest in athletic spirit and was especially fond of basket ball; of course there was a reason. The light of her favorite “star has paled and her ideal has faded into a black-haired youth from a city other than her own. When it came to having a good time, “Cos was sure to be on hand, and her general liveliness has done much to relieve the monotony of life at Normal. She is 1 lover of books and has been a regular fre- quenter of the library. This accounts for the fulness of her knowledge and her readiness to argue pro or con on any theme, past, present, or future. In literary society—she is a Kcystonian—she was always willing to serve when called upon, a most commendable trait. EDNA H. DeTURK Oley, Pa. “Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low, An excellent thing in woman.” For two long years Ivina's classmates have been trying to seek a cause for her apparent sadness. But all in vain. In spite of this sadness she is, nevertheless, an agreeable companion. The thing for which she is particularly to be commended is her faithfulness to her “janitorial duties.” Not only was Edna’s work in class meritorious, but the part which she took in the Philo. Society was also most creditable. As a business manager she is to he compliment- ed especially for her work of selling chocolates for the Con- ference Fund of the Y. W. C. A. Edna has paid little attention to the boys here at school. She always came to the lectures unattended, not because she had no offers of escort, however, as is understood. This pensive young maiden thinks now of teaching in the common schools. It is likely, however, that some day she will be carrying out her domestic science ideas at Morris- town, a place for which it is said she has a liking. 35 My spirit would have beauty to offer at the shrine. And turn dull earth to gold and water into wine; And burn in fiery dreams each thought till thence refined, I may have power to mirror the mighty Master’s mind. This charming damsel is a resident of Kutztown. Her early education was acquired in the model school. In time she advanced to the Normal department and entered the class of 1916. She has grown up with the class, well-liked and self-possessed. Class work has always been promptly attended to by Olive. She never puts anything off until to-morrow. In any class room, if called on. one could easily tell Olive by the characteristic flush that arose in her face and neck. Olive’s blush is pretty, but like the rose, her color soon vanishes to be called up in due season. Olive is very timid, but then, perhaps, this is in her favor, for it saves her from many conditions others arc subjected to. Olive can most always be found with Esther and Cath- arine. When not with them she is at home. Here she has learned her domestic science much more thoroughly than any school course can give it. Olive is a member of the Keystone Literary Society, whose standards she upholds. EDNA M. DIENER............................... I have labored And with no little study, that my teaching and the strong course of my authority might go one way. —Shakespeare This little girl is one of the most quiet girls in our class, but, nevertheless, she is always jolly. She hails from Top- ton. and as the name would suggest, she wants to be ele- vated. Therefore, after completing her high school edu- cation, she came to Kutztown to develop her capabilities. Since she has been here she has been a universal favorite, especially with the day students. Edna was a very studious girl and believes in the Jansenistic saying, “Speak little, hear much, and pray more. She loves domestic science and this seems to indi- cate that she may some day be the matron of a happy home. Edna belongs to the train student regiment. As a member of this she marches up town to school every morning Edna also belong to the Keystone Literary Society and it is reported that her part of the program is always excellent. Although quite small she thinks she can be a successful pedagogue. 36 Topton. Pa. LAURA E. DIENSTEiL Topton, Pa. This blue-eyecl little girl was born at Wilkes-Barre some time in the '9o's. She received her common school education at Topton. and graduated from the Longswamp high school in the year 1914. from which school she came to the Keystone Normal, entering our class during the Spring term of 1914. For a time Laura was a day student, going back and forth each day in the pursuit of knowledge. She registered as a boarding student in the Fall term of her senior year. Laura is generally a quiet little person, yet when with a room full of girls she is voluble enough. The tales which she can tell are thrilling in the extreme. She is very fond of reading—she is particularly fond of “Mark.” Laura has been a close student. Her note books are noted for neatness and accuracy and her notes have been in fre- quent demand by class-mates not so industrious as she Her domestic science notes are particularly meritorious, for she is very fond of that branch. Some day, doubtless, she will put all the things she learned in her cooking course to good use. She is a favorite with her classmates, all of whom wish her abundant success. HAROLD G. DIETRICH.................................Kutztown, Pa. This dark-haired young man was born on the 25th day of March. 1899, near Reading. While quite young Harold's father secured a position as teacher in the Keystone State Normal School and moved with his family to Kutztown. Here Harold attended the Model School and early exhib- ited signs of marked intellectual ability. Harold, upon entering the Normal School, started to grow physically as well as mentally, and did not cease growing until he at- tained a height of nearly six feet. He has demonstrated his ability as a student and through his hard labors has reached the goal of his effort—a position on the commencement program, an honor entirely deserved, as all will grant. Harold is an enthusiastic worker for the Philomathean Literary Society and has induced many who are now mem- bers to join. Harold is one of the three boys of the class who studied “Homer’s Iliad.” Upon the completion of the library Harold became at once one of its most devoted pa- trons. Harold is interested in sports of all kinds, but pre- fers tennis. He expects to continue here in a post-graduate course. Later, doubtless, he will continue his studies in higher institutions of learning. His classmates expect to hear of his doing things. 37 IDA M. DIETRICH........................R- D- No. 3. Kutztown, Pa. This girl’s age we do not know. e do know, how- ever. that she has a zeal for learning. She lives a few miles west of Kutztown and so found it convenient to pre- pare at this Normal School for her chosen work of teaching She is a very faithful girl; she hardly ever missed classes. Although there arc some occasions when Ida has to have a very good excuse, for she delights to study reci- tations during nature study. Ida exhibits little interest in her male classmates, but we know that she makes frequent auto rides to Olcy. She says its only to see her brother, but we doubt whether this is true, because her brother has some very interesting friends. No doubt Ida will some day be a great German teacher, for we know that she just loves to read German and is especially interested in synopsizing in the third person, singular number, cr ist. which she can do with speed and skiil. During her senior year she has been a most faithful member of the Keystone Literary Society. Ida’s ambition is to be a teacher permanently. Further than that she has not yet decided. IRWIN W. DIETRICH...........................................Kutztown. Pa. This young man with a profound and philosophical look was born January 30, 1891. near the Three-Mile House. Greenwich township. Pa. His early precocity was a distinct advantage to him in his public school life spent in Kutztown schools. Like many great men he left school at the early age of 14 and worked in a factory. For six years this youth was compelled to blush unseen” in a silk mill. Hut while twisting in his frame there came to him the larger vision and he fixed his goal on higher things with a determination and undauntedness, characteristic of him. 11 is favorite motto is. “Always handle your tools with- out gloves. At twenty Irwin, better known as Toolev” among bis classmates, entered Normal and soon became noted for his delving into the past. As a member of Key- stone Society he has exerted every effort to advancing the interests and general welfare of the society. His favorite theme was The oversoul. in which he demonstrated to a spellbound audience that his philosophical research has not affected his religion, as is the case with many thinkers. His greatest ambition is to become a statesman, and if his oration given on a senior program is the type which his fertile brain will produce, there is no doubt but what he will some day be a Webster or a Calhoun. 38 MILDRED A. DOWNING Allentown, Pa. Mildred Downing, commonly known as “Millie,” hails from the metropolis of Allentown, I ehigh county. There she attended the public schools, graduating from high school 1914. During her high school course she was very popular and was usually supplying certain members of the class with chocolates which she received from “Harry.” She finally decided to attend Normal and entered the Keystone State Normal, but never omitted her weekly visit home. Fre- quently she went on to Bethlehem. During her school life here Millie has been found to be especially talented in both vocal and instrumental music. Her favorite piece is “Sex- tet from Lucia, and she can often be heard humming this tune while a certain dark haired fellow known as “Hciney also can be heard singing it, too. Millie does a lot of giggling and in the hall when a par- ticularly disturbing noise is heard the girls exclaim, “Oh, it is only Mildred.” She is very fond of chocolates—also of fudge. She comes back to school with several boxes, but the next day two neatly wrapped parcels arc sent away, the lucky friends being “Frank” and Troutman.” That reminds me she is always happy on Friday when trout or any kind of fish is served. Mildred expects to teach school and therefore has applied at Bethlehem for a position. Her friends hope that she'll get the school. If not, there's another position there which she may have for the taking. A. LA I LA DUNKELBERGER.............Kutztown. Pa. An angel-watered lily, that near God Grows and is quiet.” —Dante Rossetti This charming lass is a daughter of the home town of the school. After completing the preparatory course in the Kutztown public schools she came to the Normal School in the fall of 1913. Being a bright and an industrious stu- dent Laila has been a delight to the professors. Whenever called on in class Laila was prompt with the answer. Through earnest application and desire for knowledge Laila fairly earned her right to be a commencement speaker. One thing only was a hindrance to this struggle for knowledge. The boys made her the subject of constant adoration. At times they annoyed her so much that she was obliged to say, My father docs not let me have fel- lows. Laila is a member of the Philomathean Literary So- ciety. in which she did excellent work. Laila never went to basketball games until her senior year, and then only as Mabel’s chaperone. Laila’s future will surely be a bright one. After she has received her sheepskin she will teach in the Kutztown high school. MABEL H. ENOCH Oley, Pa. She’s sweet of disposition, She's loving, wise, and kind. She's full of true affection. She can not be defined. Here's to one of the many “Oleyites! Great was the joy in Oley when, on a bright New Year's day, a bright blue-eyed little girl made her appearance in the Enoch home. Mabel's education began in the public schools of her native township. She was leader of her class, and after graduating from high school, she decided that K. S. N. S. was just the place to fit her for becoming the teacher she decided to be. Mabel's quiet disposition and her winning smile won for her many friends. She is very fond of reading and has been often found alone at her window reading the story of King Arthur looking up from her book from time to time to regard some beautiful solar ray that fell upon her. Ma- bel made frequent visits to her home, declaring that it was only to see her folks,” a somewhat doubtful statement, as is also that other one that she intends to spend her life in teaching. One of Mabel’s chief characteristics is her faith- fulness in everything. She was a devoted member of the Philomathean Literary Society and of the Y. W. C. A. MARGARET C. EVANS....................................................Kingston, Pa. “Ah, me! for aught that ever I could read, Could ever hear by tale or history. The course of true love never did run smooth.” Here is Margaret, one of the few Luzerne county rep- resentatives at Keystone. We know very little of her life before she came here. We may infer, however, that her childhood was full of incidents. When she graduated from the Wyoming high school, she did not realize that she was going to continue her education at K. S. N. S. While here at school she was a faithful Y. W. C. A. worker. That she is a good Philomathean is shown by the fact that she has missed only one meeting in her two years spent here. She is very studious and has especially delighted in studying Boyer's Methods of Teaching. Last year we always thought of Margaret as a girl who did not like the oppo- site sex. but this year she changed her mind on the night of the Keystone Anniversary. If Margaret were asked her favorite place in Pennsylvania she would undoubtedlv answer Boycr(town). Peggy’s ideals are high; she says she intends to marry a doctor, but she has not specified whether it is to be a doctor of medicine or a doctor of philosophy. She expects to teach for a year and then claim her ideal, so all we can do is to wish her the greatest of success. CLARIS M. ENTER LINK McKkansburg, Pa. “As prone to mischief, as able to perform it.” —Shakespeare This brown-eyed lass was born in a faraway home in Breckenridge, Colorado. Now, however, she hails from McKeansburg, Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania. Claris has greatly enjoyed her work at the K. S. N. S. and we are proud to own her as a classmate. She is a Y. W. C. A. member and belongs to the Keystone Society. Her greatest delight is to spend her spare moments in the physical lab., but it seems that physics doesn't prove so interesting to her as dry chemistry last year, for she is often found leafing over the pages of the chemistry book. Claris is a jolly brunette and is found “Giggling when she comes and giggling when she goes, But what on earth she’s giggling for nobody knows.” Claris has read a great deal, especially books written by O. (Henry). She says these books arc full of very in- teresting as well as inspiring thoughts. She is very industrious and performs her duties faith- fully. She expects to teach. We think it unlikely that she will follow this profession for any length of time. There are indications that she intends utilizing her leap year privi- leges. Whatever her choice may be, we are sure that she will prove a success in her career. Good luck to you, friend Claris. ALLEN P. FENSTERMAKER .... At the opening of the fall term of 1914 the class of 1916 received an addition in the person of Allen, or “Fen- sty,” as he is better known. “Fensty” was bern in the town of Egypt some time after the middle ages. He was a bois- terous lad from the beginning, and rumors have come to the effect that his teachers found some difficulty with this active lad. “Fensty” attended the public schools of Egypt and later entered the Whitehall township high school. He graduated in the class of 1914 and then came the decision to enter this higher institution of learning. He was a member of the Philo. Society and was a speaker of no mean ability. After graduation he expects to teach in the schools of his native state for several years. It is not known whether he will follow this profession as his life-work or not. When the “scarlatina” epidemic was at Normal, he was one of those who was interned in the infirmary for a period of thirty days. His classmates wish him the greatest success during his subsequent life. 41 ......................................Kru msvili.r, Pa. This is the only Verna of whom the illustrious class of 19:6 can boast. She first saw the light of lav in the little town of Kruinsvillc. After brightening this spot with her cheery smile, and at the same time attending the public school, she decided that the Keystone State Normal was the place for her. Here Verna is one of our faithful girls, being a member of and an industrious worker in the Y. W. C. A. She has special talent for music and very often enter- tains her Philo, friends with beautiful selections. We sus- pect that Verna docs some entertaining at home, too, for she goes there quite frequently. We can’t tell for certain, since Verna doesn't say much about such things—but we do know that a certain young man enjoys her company since lie has returned to her table for a number of terms. Verna is a fun-loving girl and can appreciate a good joke, especially if it is on the other person. She is one of the charter members of the “A. I. W.” and was ever an ac- tive member of that organization. Verna’s chief ambition is to be a good teacher for sev- eral years and then—well, we’ll talk about that later. Edwin J. Fox hails from the beautiful rural village of Macungie, and is the embodiment of all the good qualities which go to make a successful scientific agriculturist. After graduating from, the Allentown Preparatory School, this gentleman was welcomed into our midst. By continuous and laborious application he has attained high standing as a student, and with this efficiency he will enter upon the profession of teaching. While one of our number Edwin took deep interest in the Keystone Literary Society, was an active member of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation. and regularly attended the meetings of the Senior Bible band. With such marked ability and faithfulness in school affairs, we expect to hear much about Edwin in the future. Since he is contemplating a scientific course in agriculture at State College, no doubt Edwin will be enlisted among the leaders in agriculture, or as one of the successful farmers of Pennsylvania. Agriculture, the mother of industry, and the maintainer of human life. is the industry which Edwin will choose as his life vocation. All wish him success in this scientific career. 42 JENNIE V: FRITCH R. D. No. i, Mertztown, Pa. Little Jennie hails from Mertztown and is noted for keeping the place in a perpetual flutter of excitement. She graduated from the high school at Longswamp in the spring of 1914 and came to the Normal School in fall as a member of the third year class. Little blondes are always in de- mand, hence Jennie's society was always sought in the reading room, where Uncle Josh was often seen in close proximity. Her entertaining powers are considerable, so she was asked to chaperone Lookie for a chestnut hunt, but alas, showers prevented and diverted Cupid’s dart Her favorite study in physics and a question that has not yet been explained to her is the resultant of a couple of forces. She is fond of traveling and has planned an ex- tensive trip to New Jersey. In the fall she will return to teach in the academy at Bowers. Of course, she has not told us how long she is going to teach, so we presume it will be two years and then—. She has the best wishes of the class for a bright and happy future. “Much dwelt she on the green hill-side, And under forest tree; Beside the running, babbling brook. Where lithe trout sported free. She saw them dart, like stringed gems, Where the tangled roots were deep, And learned that love forevermore The heart will joyful keep.” —Elizabeth Smith This laughing girl was born at Emails, Pa. While at home she was a most mischievous lass. After graduating from high school she determined to enter the teaching pro- fession. Though a day student, she is well known among the boarding students. Because of her daily trips to and from school she has plenty of time to be a close observer of things, especially such happenings as arc unbecoming students. This knowledge seemed to rile one senior boy in particular. Mamie is a good student and has made use of her time while at school. Some say that her time outside of school hours is largely taken up with rides in a Cadillac auto. She has a natural aptitude for teaching and we are sure she will make a success of the work. Although a day student, which makes it difficult to he present, she is a faith- ful member of the Keystone Literary Society. 43 Emaus, Pa. MAMIE E. FLUCK Let us pause a moment to look upon a gentleman from the quiet village of Sicsholtzville. Berks county. At this place was born on May 2, 1892, John Robert I lexer. After attending the schools of that village he taught for several years and then came to Keystone State Normal with the purpose of becoming a trained teacher. Consequently, hav- ing successfully completed his course, he is found among the 1916 graduates. While a student at Normal John was a member of the Keystone Literary Society. He served for one term in each of the following offices, namely: Chaplain, usher and vice- president. John was a member of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association, in the work of which he took deep interest. John delights to study physics, especially the chapters on electricity. Because of his deep interest in this subject, he has arranged a private laboratory in his dormitory room. Although its equipment is scarce and rude, his experiments probably will result in giving to the world some new ex- planation of the phenomenon of nature. His classmates are proud to have a gentleman who is endowed with a mind that is eager for investigation. They look forward with eagerness to his probable achievements. As an electrical engineer John will undoubtedly be a success. ESTHER G. GARIS Pkopi.es, Pa. Little, but O my !” Well, good things are often found in small packages. This year Esther sprung an awful sur- prise upon her classmates. Judging from her bash fulness last year, we could scarcely believe that she would ever turn traitor, but, lo! when a “little Quaker down from Quakcr- town” appeared on the scene Esther resolved that one is never happy when alone. She is very fond of saying, “Arn(’t) these things pretty ?” always placing great em- phasis on the the first word of her expression. She is fond of visiting our new library across the way, and delights to keep the librarian alert and watchful. We all feel assured that Esther will prove to be a success in her profession, but we fear some day, when teaching physiology she may con- fuse her pupils by saying “The arn connects the hand with the shoulder.” She is a very industrious girl and faithful member of the Philomathean Society. She takes great de- light in athletics, a devotion particularly noticeable on the tennis courts. We always enjoy ourselves when in her com- pany, because of her jolly nature. We hope that she may always retain her happy spirit and we wish her utmost suc- cess and happiness. 44 HOWARD W. GOOD Ottsville, Pa. Howard William Good, better known as “Goody,” first beheld the light on August 23, 1895. Howard attended the elementary schools at Ottsville. lie graduated from Nocka- mixon high school in 1912. In the fall of that year lie was one of the new lights at Keystone. Being here four years there are few nooks and crags that he does not know. Howard is one of our most studious boys. He is very bright in several studies, among which is physics. In this class he and his friend, Wilson, have collected enough ma- terial to write a criticism of Millikan and Gale's book. Howard never paid much attention to the girls until the later part of our third year, when a bright light shone upon him. Every since he is a steady patron of the lectures. I Ioward is a memebr of the Keystone Literary Society, the cross-country club, pipe-line squad, and nature study fra- ternity. After teaching a few years Howard’s father-in- law will make the laundry business “Good and Bright, In- corporated.” ALMA GRIM Ottsville. Pa. ' “Blushes may come and blushes may go, But dimples stay on forever.” —Anon. In the month of February some years ago this rosy checked blonde brightened the home of Dr. Grim in a little “ville” in Bucks. Alma is a member of the Keystone Literary Society and of the Y. W. C. A. and has always performed her du- ties well. Alma is a girl who takes great interest in out- door sports such as tennis, rowing, and hiking. During her senior year she took special interest in Sunday school work, an interest which we trust she will always maintain. Her interest in Latin was also increased by wonderful personality of her teacher. Alma has had quite a few affairs of the heart while in our midst, especially so in her senior year. We, however, are not surprised, for we often hear her say, “I am fond of boys, I really am.” She always enjoyed her vacations but the spring vacation seems to have afforded her most lasting and pleasant memories. She says that she intends to teach school, but we do not think that this intention will be lasting since tricky eyes were never meant for school teachers. 45 MAMIE GREEN AW ALT - McIO.ansburg. Pa. Brown-eyed this lassie is. Coming to old Keystone in 1912. she soon became one of the most earnest workers of our class. Consequently, we are all proud of her. She is often called “the old reliable. because she always had her work done, especially her arithmetic problems, of which fact other girls of the New Building were well aware. Mamie is a faithful member of the Keystone Society, always performing her duties well. She also took great interest in Y. W. C. A. work. We do not want to say that during the last term of her senior year Mamie was not so faithful a student as before, but we do believe that she had some idea of her future and therefore became somewhat interested in matters other than her books. She is very fond of sports, especially tennis. She says she likes to play with the girls, but the games played with Mr.--------- I enjoy far better.” Somebody always looked after Mamie's welfare and saw that she was well taken care of. Mamie expects to teach for some time. We all know she will make a success in whatever she undertakes to do She has the best wishes of her class. MORRIS S. GRETH - - - - - R. D. No. 1, Virginsvii.lk, Pa. This young man. Morris S. Greth, is also known as Grady It hardly seems possible that lie was born in this country or in this age. His intellectual powers are so Luther-like that it would be easier to suppose him to be the product of an earlier time, as of the Italian renaissance or of the Reformation. Morris has been taking little notice of the girls, fol- lowing in this matter certain good advice given by his mother. He is seldom seen idling away his time. This justifies the prediction of a bright future for him. Of all the studies in the course lie loves no other better than Vir- gil. I Ie rides to school each morning on his black horse. Not only is he industrious in his school work, but he takes an active part in the work of the Philo. Society, of which he is a member. He loves to discuss religious topics, which seems to indicate that he may some day help to spread the Gospe1 He says that after teaching a few vears he will continue his studies at Muhlenberg College. ’ Continue as you have begun. Morris, and you will reach the goal on which you have set your eyes. ALICE GRUVER PlI'HRSVlLLK, Pa. This little bunch of humanity was born in a place called Pipersvillc. When a child she attended the local school. She graduated from the high school of Revere, but her thirst for knowledge not being quenched, she came to Normal further to pursue the ways of wisdom. Among her characteristics was a liking for Beans. It is noticeable that lately this dish has lost its attractions for her palate. Iler health has generally been good, yet Alice was one of the company who took a jitney ride across the cam- pus and was an inhabitant of the infirmary for a month. She is a mathematician of unusual ability and one day- figured out “How many angels can stand on a needle point.” She has shown a fondness for playing tennis this spring and is especially pleased when she can play with tennis balls with spots. Alice is a traveller of considerable experience; that is, she travels much from room to room along the dormitory corridors. The Philo. Society has been proud to claim her as a member. She expects to teach until a fortunate bachelor shall ask her to take charge of domestic science in his home. RUTH I. HASSLER............................................Wkrnkrsviu.k. Pa. Wcrncrsvillc claims the honor of being the birthplace of this young lady. After graduating from that high school she came to Keystone Normal. Though quite inoccnt looking Ruth was always in for a good time and also got it. She manifested no little ability- in planning feasts and parties. Though Ruth stood high in her class her neighbors frequently wondered when she studied, for she was usually found talking, sleeping, or reading. Philo, claims her as one of its good workers, frequently- favoring them with instrumental solos, but always refusing to give an encore. Ruth as a member of the finance com- mittee of the Y. W. C. A. did her part well by selling Her- sheys. After leaving these halls of learning Ruth will teach for several years. She will, no doubt, go to college and we shall hear from her later. She always tells us that teaching will be her life profession. When in company and gentle- men arc mentioned she seems quite unconcerned. Many folks will think that to be an indication that now she con- siders getting an education her principal business. 47 IDA M. HAFER Olky. Pa. Smile in the morning, smile at noon, and keep on smiling at night.” This cheery girl first beheld the light of day on a bright day in April and she is very April-like herself. Ida was commonly known by her friends as the champion giggler. She is very fond of animals, devoting much time to the study of their life history. She is particularly interested in beavers. Ida’s favorite motto is Never do to-day what you can put off until to-morrow. Nevertheless, she had to take some time to review the weekly confidential epistles which sell received from a certain college. It is only natural that 1:1a should never miss any meals, for she delights to sit in such a position that she has full view of “little angel-face. She declares boys are a big nuisance, and we know she has lived up to this statement during her life at K. S. N. S. But we must watch her. for she has a special interest and talent in domestic science. Ida was a faithful member of Philo. Society and Y. W. C. A. That she will maintain her happy spirit both as a teacher and. probably, afterwards as a thrifty housekeeper we have no doubts. MAY M. HECKMAN..................................- Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind, But leave, oh! leave the light of Hope behind. May Heckman, commonly known as “Heck, was born at Shocmakcrsville. where she attende the public schools and graduated from the Shocmakcrsville high school; then she went to Hamburg and finished her high school work. After thi sshe entered the Keystone State Normal School in 1914. becoming a faithful member of the Philomathean Literary Society and treasurer of the Y. W. C. A. She was chosen as one of the delegates to Eagles Mere and while there displayed her skill in basket ball and tennis. Ruring the first year of May’s school career at the Normal she gave people the impression that she was of a rather wise disposition, but her last year proved different, as she decided that it was best fer her not to change her name. But still her classmates would like to know why it is that she is always anxious for the mail, in order to sec whether she is getting a letter from Lafayette. Ehe ex- pects to teach for a good long while according to what she says. However, we aren't altogether sure of that. 48 MABEL H. HEFFNER Kutztown, Pa. “He giveth his beloved sleep.” —Mrs. Browning 'I'liis lovely member of our class is one of the prominent ladies of Kutztown. From her earliest days she has been possessed by a strange propensity for sleep, the taker away of all cares. Mabel is carefree and careless if her frequent talks about her forgotten note books give evidence of her true self. Mabel never knows any time but bed-time, and this she knows instinctively. Mabel is an ardent enthusiast in basketball. But, no doubt, there is reason for this. Her eyes fairly sparkled when a certain light haired youth made a goal.’ Her ap- plause for his good plays was always the longest and loud- est. Her friend. Laila, sometimes had to hold her to keep her on the balcony. Mabel did not attend the lectures very frequently last year, but this year she has changed her habits and “Eddie” has made her a member of the pipe-line squad. Mabel is a member of the Philomathean Literary So- ciety. In society she has always been a prompt and willing worker. She loves domestic science, especially the note book part. Her knowledge of mashed potatoes will, no doubt, be a valuable asset in a few years. CLARA J. HERBEIN ------ “The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they while their companions slept. Were toiling upward in the night. This diligent and studious girl hails from the city of Kutztown. where she has spent the greater part of her life. Her earliest education was begun in the Model school, from whence through successful toil and effort she has reached the Normal department and was one of the first members of the class of 1916. She was always ambitious, which was shown in the pride she took in her class work, and was a faithful mem- ber of the Philo. Society where she took an active part. On account of her quiet nature her ambitions and hopes were never revealed, but we know that she will be a splen- did teacher on account of her love of children. Whatever may be her walk of life, the members of the class of 1916 wish her success and happiness. 49 JOHN L. MERBSTER SCIU'YLKIU. HAVEN. P.- . One bright day in August, twenty-one years ago, a little boy made his appearance in the town of Schuylkill Haven. John began bis educational career in the township schools of North Manhcim, and later entered the high school at Schuylkill Haven. After a successful career in the schools of his native town, lie graduated from the high school in 1914. His next step was to select a higher in- stitution. He decided upon K. S. X. S., and in the fall of 1914 arrived at this institution and was enrolled in the third year class. He has been an active member of the V. M. C. A. and the Philomathcan Literary Society. His interest in Y. M. C. A. work met the approval of the members of the cabinet and he was chosen as president for 1915-16. which position he has filled in a manner entirely creditable to the associa- tion and to himself. John docs not expect to discontinue school work and studying but expects to go to college after teaching some years in public school, lie has not fully decided on his future occupation, but it will undoubtedly be one of the three great professions, and it would not surprise his class- mates if they should hear of him as a minister of the gospel. HELEN A. HETRICK.....................................R. D. Xo. 2, Rf.adixg, Pa. The saying good things come in small packages” cer- tainly is true, for our little Helen, who hails from the country, proves it bv the roses in her checks and the blue of her eyes. I ler smallness is a misfortune in her estima- tion. “Little people should be seen and not heard” is not true of Helen. She is worth hearing as well as seeing. One of her favorite walks is down town. Returning, she frequently indulges in ham sandwiches.” To our sorrow Helen was taken from our midst for thirty days.—over to the infirmary—but it was not to her sorrow, as we judge from the tales she tells. She had the opportunity of taking an automobile ride to the hospital. When she goes home, she enjoys swell automobile rides with a Hamburg gentle- man. so we are informed. The little girl with a forceful alto voice will some day prove her ability in music. She is not only talented in singing, but she gives great pleasure to her Keystone Society friends by whistling. She expects to teach a few years, but her final ambition is to be the happy wife of a good man. 50 IDA L. HILL R D. Xo. 3. Kutztown. P. . “Push is written on every door that leads to success.” —Anon This is another of our energetic out-of-town girls. Ida attended the public school until she thought she was old enough to prepare for her life work. As she chose teaching as this vocation, she thought the Keystone State Normal was the right place for her. Accordingly that institution enrolled Ida as one of its students some four years ago. Ida has proved a faithful and earnest worker in every- thing that she has undertaken. Small but mighty” is a motto in which she believes and strives to follow in even- wav. Although Ida is a good German student, rumor has it that she is scared of the tests in that subject. That weak- ness will be overcome when Ida is a little older, so wc don't have to worry. In spite of the fact that Ida has a long dis- tance to travel, she is usually on time to perform her duties in the Keystone Society, which claims her as one of its members. Since Ida is not very talkative we know very little of .her life and cannot tell what her opinions are on the vital problems of every school girl's life. LUELLA C. HOCII Boykrtown, Pa. This is none other than our dignified and diligent Lu- ella. who could be found studying, reading, or performing some duty of the Y. W. C. A., in which she was chairman of the devotional committee. She was a delegate to Gettys- burg and Luella will never forget it. It seems that she made acquaintances then who will never be forgotten by her. X'o, never! Her greatest pleasure is in talking about her wonderful trip. Luella was specially fond of home-made candy, though very few people knew it and it is a mystery to her how one young man. found it out. but as it appears just now. her comrade will get the next box of Royal Sweets. Luclla’s greatest ambition is to be the wife of a president, not of the United States, but of a Y. M. C. A. She is one of the “Water babies. and. though she is studious, she is ever ready for a good time and is always on hand with plenty of noise. Her work in Keystone Society made her a member well worth having and undoubtedly her work in the future will be such as to justify the fondest expectations of her friends. 51 SALLIE A. MILL.....................................R - D. No. 3. Kutztown, Pa. I low shall we introduce this girl to you? She says her name is Miss Sallie Hill, 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 lx rn near Kutztown. Sallie” is one of the few members of our class who started at the bottom and by faithful work raised herself to the position which she now occupies. As a senior Sallie is a hard and conscientious worker. She believes firmly in the motto “Never put off until to-morrow what you can do to- day. Sallie is a member of the Keystone Literary Society, and as a devoted member tried to maintain the welfare of the organization. She is one of the few embryo artists in our class. Her ambition is to become a painter. We are sure that success will follow her if she follows her inclinations. Good-bv. Sallie, your success is ours. MARY S. HOCH..................................... Here is Mary, who hails fro mthc famous “peanut town.” After attending the public schools of that place she graduated from the local high school. After some de- liberation, not being satisfied with a common school educa- tion, she journeyed to Keystone Normal. She is better known as Maria” by her many friends. She is a won- derful singer and we all like to hear her sing “Two little love bees. only she favored 11s too often. Mary is a regu- lar New Yorker, that is in being always in a hurry. Con- sequently she still remebers the night on the “prom.” and her hero doing the rescuing part. Above all things she detests becoming an old maid, and is therefore taking all precautions against such a fate. Naturally she joined the suffragette army of Lehigh county and the Prohibitionists find in her an ardent supporter. Marv joined the Keystone Literary Society and the Y. W. C. A. She certainly be- lieves in the motto: Grasp your opportunities.” She there- fore intends to take up a summer course at Muhlenberg. She is tricky by nature, also religious, trving hard to enlist girls to attend Y. W. C. A. meetings. “Liz and she love candy, as the girls on Fourth Hall can well testify. She is going to teach a few years and then intends to journey to some foreign isle and fulfill her highest ambitions. 52 Allentown, Pa. ARTHUR Y. HOLTER Emaus, Pa. Of the early history of this gentleman not much is known. He attended the high school at Emaus, from which he graduated after completion of the prescribed course of study. Then he came here, joining our ranks as a third-year classman. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and it is a strange coincidence that he takes every opportunity of meeting in halls and on the campus a lady whose initials are M-------------- E— -------. Some time ago, possibly by error, he was iti company with a certain Miss E----------- M-----------. To avoid further errors lie is now wearing eye-glasses. Although he is a minister’s son he delighted to play such games as “mug- gins’’ and “old maid” while in the infirmary during the quarantine. He engages in the study of trees and thinks the mablc (sic) is fairest of arboreal growths. He declares his in- tention of entering the ministry after he has taught a few years. Arthur is an active member of the Philo. Literary Society and an orator of some ability, which his friends acknowledged when they elected him as an anniversary performer. ZivRBE. Pa. This is Mabel, who was born in Zerbc, Pa., December 30. 1897. She is a very studious girl and is always ready to assist any one in their troubles, and von may be sure she never fails. She and Luella may be called the “Water babies, because they were very fond of playing in water, generally on the halls. Brown was her favorite color. Rather strange! One of her grammatical mistakes was that she said “youse” (Hughes) instead of you. Of course, we cannot blame her for that. It must have been uncon- scious influence. Mabel served as vice-president of the Keystone Lit- erary Society and on several occasions she was obliged to act as president and performed her duty with great skill Every evening at seven o'clock she and several other young ladies assembled in room 307 to study German and we arc still wondering what did William Tell? Something in- teresting. no doubt. Although Mabel expects to teach down in Jersey, nev- ertheless she will some day be the Duchess of Zerbe, the loving wife of an Earl, but there—she didn't want that known. It was to be a secret, but now it’s out, all we can do is to offer congratulations. 53 ..............................Allentown. Pa. But this she knows, in joys and woes. That saints will aid if men will call: For the blue sky bends over all. —Coleridge. ('.race is a native of the rapidly growing city of South Bethlehem. In course of time the Horne family changed their place of residence and became citizens of Allentown. There Grace attended the city schools. The young lady, it is said, was very active while in the lower grades, es- peciallv when bannisters were near at hand. After gradu- ating from high school. Grace chose teaching as her future profession, and so. for making proper preparation, she came to the school of which her esteemed grandfather was at one time the principal. Since she has made the acquain- tance of a prospective surgeon. Grace has set her min.I upon being a nurse. Being an athletic girl, as her name may suggest, capable of making considerable noise. ('.race would rather make a racquet than do almost anything else. While attending high school and was asked when is a girl not a girl? she quickly replied: When she is chewing gum. She is an active member of the Keystone Literary Society and an earnest worker in the Y. W. C. A. EMMA R HOYER.............................................West Lkesport. Pa. Of much speaking cometh repentance, but in silence there is safety.” It was in the month of November that a very modest little girl appeared in the home of George B. Moyer. West Leesport. This was Emma Rebceca. Joe, as she is called by her pals, has always been an industrious girl. She graduated from two high schools before making her ap- pearance in Keystone Normal, where she continued to dis- play her ability not only as a student but as a speaker as well. Keystone Society did well in selecting her as one of the anniversary speakers. On casual acquaintance one would consider her very quiet, but her pals have found her a fair contributor to their fun. She is fond of athletics, but her greatest diver- sion is the study of the Life of Paul, or the reading of “Samuel I. Attractions appear to be stronger for her at West Lees- port than at Normal, for she makes frequent visits to her home. But who wouldn't enjoy dodging.” or a stroll in the woods for flowers ? Emma's aim is to become the wife of a lawyer and our best wishes go with her. 54 LOTTIE E. HOUTZ..............................Muir. Pa. Lottie first saw light in Muir on September 9. 1897. The people round about could tell almost immediately that she would some day become someone of whom they could well be proud. She has lived up to their expectations, as can readily be seen from her life during the time that she spent in our midst. She is very active and while at Normal took part in everything, especially in sports. When she first came here we thought she might possibly be a school teacher, but our hopes have been shattered, for she has taken up the study of household economics. She is a very studious girl, which can readily be seen by the time she spends looking up ref- erences in the library. She does not like to work alone, for she believes that two can work better than one. Lottie was an active member of the Keystone Society and on account of her oratorical ability she was chosen as one of the speakers at its forty-sixth anniversary. She was noted for her charming voice and after study- ing diligently along this line she succeeded in attaining the distinction of being one of the few to graduate from the voice department in this school. We see bright prospects in store for Lottie, and we. all join in wishing her the greatest success. HARVEY E. HUGHES...................Pine Grove. Pa. [a letter] Pi neorove. Pa.. June 1, 1916. Dear Editors:— In reply to your request for a biography of Mr. Hughes. 1 will say that I think I can furnish the same. “Hugliie” was born at Pinegrove in 1898. His first two years of school life were spent in the public schools at Cressona. Then he moved back to Pinegrove. Here he graduated from the high school in 1914 with honors. Har- vey is a young gentleman of good manners and firm con- victions. Everything said to him must be proved. He was always a good student in mathematics. He is also a good atiilete. playing tennis and baseball' excellently. I11 the gymnasium bowling alleys he is often found. He tells me that he is a member of the Keystone Literary Society. In his last letter he wrote that he does not believe in the Ouija board. He says the fellows claim for it-powers greater than it really possesses. Harvey Expects to go to college to complete his education. I think that he will be a good teacher, but perhaps I am prejudiced in his favor. I have heard that he is very bashful, but allow me to say that I have not found him to be so. Harvey is' always faithful to his friends. I am. respectfully yours. (Miss) -------- ELIZABETH S. JOHNSTON - - - - CONSIIOHOCKKN. Pa. I should worry and lose mv girlish laughter. What care I. there are plenty others after. —Anon Betsy completes the triangle. Bustic and Maria being the other angles. She is very fond of German and every night she has been busy getting out her dcutsch. Next year she intends to specialize in German at University of Pennsylvania—for reasons all her own. She is an exceptionally good dancer and once after the hell had tolled seven—sh ! Wough said. As to the male sex. we can say little about Betsy, but we arc sure she has a dear somewhere, although she says that the key to her heart is still in her possession. We all won- der if this can be so. If we asked her opinion of the oppo- site sex. she replied. “He must be an ideal man. As yet, however, this ideal does not seem to have arrived. At one time the mails were crowded with letters for Betsy from Boyertown. but at present Boycrtown stocks arc selling below par in the Johnston brokerage office. After teaching a few years. Betsy intends to go West with the other angles. Bustic and Maria. She believes there are greater opportunities out there. ESTHER L. KISTLBR............................ To have a friends is to be one. Esther L. Kistlcr was born at Lynnville, Lehigh county. Shortly afterwards she was taken to Philadelphia. After living in Philadelphia for several years she went to her present home at Xanticokc. Here she spent most of her childhood. When her work in grammar school was com- pleted she, anxious for a more extended education, came to Keystone Normal. Esther was very much interested in painting and also took lessons in the musical departments of our school. She was a good worker in Philo. Society and fre- quently held the office of critic. She was sent to Eaglcsmerc because of her interest in Y. W. C. A. work. And in the pageant given bv the V. W. C. A. she performed the duties of house mother. Esther was a faithful student in all sub- jects but in mathematics she took the greatest interest. Esther says she does not care to teach, as one of her great hopes is to go to college immediately after graduation here and specialize in mathematics. Another desire is to be a trained nurse and be a doctor’s wife. Who the lucky doctor is we do not know. The West also looms large in Esther’s future. We wish her all success that is due so noble a girl. 56 Nanticokk. Pa. .............................Stony Run, Pa. Man is a summer’s day: whose youth and fire Cool to a glorious evening and expire. —Henry Vaughan Behold ! A man. Who is this young fellow with the curly hair and rosy cheeks ? This is Hiram 1’. Kistler, one of our noble 1916s. After Hiram graduated from his home school he decided to come to K. S. X. S., where he has in- deed made good use of his time. I le joined Philo Society and was three times president of same and besides being elected president of the anniversary. Kistler has taken an interest in almost every worthwhile enterprise in the school I Ie was a member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet and was chosen as one of the delegates to Xorthficld. He took special in- terest in music and was considered as the strongest bass singer of the Eutcrpean. Hiram is a good fellow to have as a companion. lie is a great linguist, studying every language taught at school, but making a specialty of I lelcn. f. c. Greek. Of a Sunday he was wont to start with the boys to Sunday School, but parting company with them he would make his way to Park avenue, frequently not returning until evening service. Where did he get supper ? Well, he usually hit his Mar(c)ks. His ambitions arc well defined. After obtaining a col- lege education he intends to specialize in surgery. Judging from his past work, his prospects are bright. GRACE E. KUXSMAX - - - - R. D. Xo. 2. Hku.icrtgwx. Pa. One dark and dreary night Grace made her first faint outcry, the place of her nativity being Saucon township, Lehigh county. She received the first draught from the springs of knowledge in the public schools of the same township. In the year 1914 she had the honor of graduating from Saucon high school. In the fall of the same year she found her way to K. S. X. S. During her two years here she has been an active member of the Keystone Literary Society and is also a member of the Y. W. C. A. Grace was always thought of as having a quiet and bash fu' disposition. Her favorite quotation is, Of all sad words of tongue or pen. The saddest are these: — Where are the men? She is a generally well behaved girl, although the raps at Room 99 were quite frequent, not always on Grace’s ac- count, however. She took exercise as regularly as she at- tended classes and was prompt in going to bed. Her pres- ent declared intention is to spend her life in teaching But the future will tell. HIRAM P. KISTLER 57 WILMA R. KISTLER Dei. a no. Pa. Hello Billy! Thus this beautiful girl was always greeted by her classmates. She delights to be called this ever since she took her trip to Eaglesmere as a Y. W. C. A. delegate. Although Billy wouldn’t always be seen, still even- one knew her the minute her voice was heard sing- ing Sympathy. She delights in music, both vocal and instrumental, and some day we will hear of Wilma at the Conservatory for Music in Boston. Wilma always was a great friend to all the girls. She would often entertain the New Building bunch with her ghost stories, once particularly during the wee hours of the morning after Hallow'ecu. One serious fault of this attractive girl was that l efore the year 1915 she hated to visit the dentist. But what is her delight now ? To visit the dentist, of course, since she some day intends to be dentist Fred’s accompanist. When entering Billy’s room at any time we can always find her day dreaming or writing letters. When asked what she was thinking of she would say I am trying to plan my future.” Our best wish is that her air-castles will never crumble. CAROLINE D. KUNE........................Tamanend Pa. Not failure but low aim is crime.” Caroline, one of pretty little Schuylkill county girls, came here with the intention of finding a mate. but. as the poor child says, she failed. We will admit that we can draw no conclusions from K. S. N. S.. but since while doing her favorite study. Virgil, her mind occasionally wanders we may judge that someone unknown to us occupies her thoughts. She is very fond of music, especially that ren- dered by the kettle drum. Never mind. Kline, the kettle drum is all right when the right one plays it. Caroline detests carrying baggage and for this reason she visits the baggage room and has no trouble whatever in disposing of it. We wonder why, when scarlatina was the rage, that she so often visited the new building. It was thence that she and a few inmates could converse and exchange glances. She has been a most faithful member of the Keystone Society and she professes to have gained a great deal walk- ing through these halls of knowledge. She is full of fun and assures every one of having a good time while in their company. But we must close, hoping that she may ever retain her cheerful disposition, and wishing her abundant success in whatever she undertakes. 58 HERBERT G. KRAMER Ashland, Pa. I lerbert or Pete, as he is more generally known among his fellow students, was horn in Ashland. He attended the public schools of his native town and in 1913 graduated from the high school in that town. Then he came to the Keystone State Xormal and spent one term in studying as a special. Later he entered the third year class and has since then done the work as a regular. Little is known to the biographer of his early life. To casual observers he appears here at Xormal as a rather quiet fellow. By the well informed, however, it is known that he is not as quiet as his appearance might indicate, that he loves his fun as well as other second hall boys. He never took an active part in atheltics, but in his society work he was usually found faithful. Pete has not been notable as a ladies’ man, although on various occasions he has been seen to walk to the front part of chapel after lectures with a certain lady of the third year class. His future ambitions are not known definitely, but the good wishes of his classmates are with him in what- ever he may undertake. HAROLD L. KREMSER............................... Eniaus is the birthplace of Harold Leroy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin L. Krcmscr. The lad thrived rapidly, we are informed. Harold entered the first grade of the Emaus schools at six, a bright, curly-haired lad. He worked his way to the high school, where lie contends his happiest days were spent. In 1914 he graduated from the High School with highest honors. Being desirous of advancing his education, Harold came to the Xormal School in the fall of 1914. But being a great mother's bov, a matter to his credit, he could not stay away from home for any length of time, and so de- cided to travel back and forth to the Xormal on the “Kutz- town Flyer.” He is an active Philo, and a staunch Demo- crat. Before the European war he was very much interested in ancient history, especially in the case of Helen of Troy, but since then he has changed his policy to “America first” and is now making close study of Virginia. He intends to teach for several years, but expects to leave the vocation of pedagogy after that time to prepare for the discharge of the duties of a Moravian minister. His classmates wish him all success. 59 CHARLES F. KUHNS Kutztown. Pa. As innocent as a new-laid egg. —W. S. Gilbert “Coonic. one day in April. 1899. caused the enterpris- ing town of Xew Smithvillc to be awakened from reverie by his shrill cries. At a very tender age lie was musically inclined, as the musical teddv bears and other relics of his childhood days give proof. In Xew Smithvillc he made his first acquaintance with the schools. When he was nine years old he was brought to Kutztown. He entered the Model school and in due time passed into the normal de- partment. Charles, besides his regular studies, was always practicing music. To-day lie is a good pianist and belongs to several musical organizations. Even before lie could appreciate the opposite sex he was cquip| cd with dolls. Xow he has grown and is quite an adept entertainer. He flitted around, like a butterfly from flower to flower, till Mary ended his flitting by her superior charms. ‘‘Coonie is a member of the Keystone Literary Society and an en- thusiastic sport man. Charles, believing that ‘‘too much book and no recreation hinders education. lives up to his motto. Though he is the youngest in our class he may yet be the greatest. R. D. No. 2. I-Iellertowm. Pa. John Sylvester Kunsman, the son of the progressive merchant. John 1 . Kunsman. was born on December 5. 1895. n a little village near Hellertown. This quiet but conscientious and industrious lad attended the Southeastern and Wassergass public schools. After attending high school for three years, John graduated with honor. Then, because of a desire for more education, he came here in the fall of 1914. As a student at Normal John was industrious and with much laborious effort lie has acquired the ability to teach. While here he was a member of the Keystone Literary Society and took deep interest in its welfare. He was a member of the Young Men’s Christian Association and regularly attended its meetings as well as the group meet- ings of the Senior Bible' Band class. From the interest which John exhibited in Christian work, his classmates con- clude that he will be a teacher not only of text books, but also of Christian morals in the community where he will teach. John always was a quiet boy who had a sympathetic spirit for all his schoolmates, and because of his kind spirit he always respected the rights of others sometimes even to his own discomfort. Since John’s desire is for teaching his classmates wish him success in his chosen field. JOHN S. KUNSMAN ROY A. KUNTZELMAX R. D. Xo. i, Tower City, Pa. Roy Albert Kuntzelman is one of the many classmen from Schuylkill county, lie was born February 4. 1897, near Tower City, in a little village among the mountains, where he still gladly seeks his “Home, sweet home.” He attended the public schools at Orwin and later the Reinerton high school. After graduating from high school with honor, Roy came to Keystone State Normal School to prepare for teaching. After being here for two years the 1916 class is glad to claim him as one of its members. Roy was fond of athletics and played on the Normal School first team in baseball for several seasons. He was known as one of the “heavy batters. who enjoyed driving the ball into the left field, which part of the baseball dia- mond was Roy's favorite spot. As a member of the Keystone Literary Society Roy had been one of the great debaters. He was a member of the Young Men's Christian Association. In the class room Roy was exceptionally fond of the sciences. One of his fav- orite studies was agriculture, from which his classmen infer that after teaching a few years. Roy will take a course in the same and in forestry at State College. His classmen will eagerly read the newspapers for the purpose of learn- ing more of this ambitious student. MARY E KURR...................................... And those who know thee, know all words arc faint! To those who know thee not. no words can paint! —Hannah More Mary E., a Berks county girl, is one of the bright-faced, cheerful girls of our class. Marv is naturally bright, always knowing her lessons even though she docs not believe in studying unduly hard. Her best liked subject was Virgil. She was one of the Philo, speakers and showed her ability as an orator. Sometimes Mary showed her interest in gen- eral debate, at least the time when we had that interesting question on woman's suffrage. Mary prefers country life to city life and always says she enjoys long moonlight walks and rides along a quiet country road. Her years spent here have been a pleasure as well as a benefit to her and her many friends. Mary took interest in the religious exer- cises of the school, especially in Y. W. C. A. work, and for her interest she was sent to Eaglesmere as a delegate. As she was interested in the Bethel Corn Club she will probably create the same interest in her school next year. Since Mary has nothing more definite in view for the future we wish her great success in whatever she undertakes. 61 Bethel. Pa. LOUISE M. KUTZER Llewellyn. Pa. “Tuts they say her name is. She is one of the jollicst members of the class. I ler motto is, Smile and while you smile there arc miles and miles of smiles and life seems worth while. Tuts is a good representative from Llewellyn. Schuylkill county. To hear her talk it is the only place on the map. That this is true seems to have con- vinced at least one Kut .tonian. She is a graduate from high school. 1914. She came to Normal not for the pur- |X)se of learning to teach, but for an education. Her ambition is to become a nurse, but we think it will be a private nurse. During her first year at school Louise left the ranks of her classmates and joined the seniors, but there is a reason.-as we all know how attractive John is. She has great musular strength and all the girls on her hall arc afraid of her. Her vigor is such that she might readily become a wood cutter's wife. In her senior year she was so constantly found talking about the advantage o finsurance |)olicies that she received the nickname “Poli- cy.” She has taken a fancy to a certain dark eyed and dark haired young fellow who is an insurance agent in Kutztown. When any one knocks on her door Louise is apt to say, What is out ? She is always talking about a certain Earl at home and of the forestry school which he attends. It is hard to tell what Tuts will do. but from present indications one is inclined to predict that she will become either a forester's wife or the private secretary of an incurance agent. BERTHA E. LATSHAW.................................. Bertha, better known as Bert, made her appearance in the world on a cold day in December in that wonderful place Mount Carmel, from whose high school she gradu- ated before she came to the Keystone State Normal School. Although Bert seems quiet, she is rather talkative and very much awake when gentlemen arc about. Indeed she ad- mits that her greatest pleasure is derived from such com- pany. When she first came here life seemed quite slow to her. for she certainly did miss her seven o’clock walks to the post ofiice to receive the mail. At present she is much interested in a drug store, as can easily be seen when we observe the variety of parcels received from a druggist in Mount Carmel. Bert believes in variety, and. for some time past Reading has held quite a bit of attraction for her. She is especially fond of canoe rides, but. being a woman, she exercises the privilege of changing her mind. In fact, she has vacillated so much that now she has received the sobriquet of the heart breaker. So far. however, her flir- tations have been harmless, so far as is apparent. 62 M r. Carmel. Pa. VERA M. EACH.MAX Frackville; Pa. Tell you what I like best. Like to jest sit down and rest And not work at nothin' else. ' On a sunny day in October, 1897, a bouncing baby girl arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Lachman, of St. Clair. Pa., and received the attractive name of Vera Marie. Later her parents moved to Frackville, which is the family home at present. era isn't a very big girl, nevertheless she can make a great deal of noise and is always ready for a good time. The sporting blood in Vera runs very strongly and she has missed but few of the school games on Saturday afternoons, and then only when otherwise engaged—usually in sleeping. This and eating were her usual occupations, while as for her liking cheese—well, she liked that better than anything else in the line of eatables. Xo one ever was in doubt as to who was coming up the hall when they heard the familiar phrase, For the love of Pete. It was always sure to be Vera. An elocutionist of some fame, she has frequently given the Keystone Literary Society the benefit of her talent and has been of material assistance in the various social events at school. FLOREXCE R. LEFEVRE Boyertown. Pa. Florence is a rosy cheeked Boyertown belle. She is the most accomplished musician in her home town, singing so much that it is feared that she may sing herself out. Florence has a happy-go-lucky disposition and never both- ers about anything. She has one accomplishment which all the girls know about (contributions) and her one fault is forgetfulness. Do not be surprised if she tells you the same story only differently worded every day. Her most favorite pet is a mouse and she is proficient in catching them. She tames them by feeding them Easter eggs. Her best friend is connected with State College, but her dearest friend lives at Hamburg. The thing she likes to do best is to sleep and her favorite saying is. “Did the taps ring? “Oh! I'm not going to get up. Florence is going to teach until she has enough money to buy a Ford, and then she is going to look for a companion to run the Ford. Her ideal is a senator, who is. we arc certain, wait- ing patiently to win her. Flos is especially fond of tennis and. having had a fine teacher, is progressing very rapidly. She will, however, continue to need a coach. She is a good all around girl and may be expected to win fame or some- thing else in the world. 63 OSCAR J. LEII’.EXSPERGER R. D. Xo. i. Kitztown. Pa. The subject of this sketch, commonly known as “Qsca, originated in Greenwich township, about three miles from Kutztown. After finishing a course in the Greenwich pub- lic schools he came to Keystone to join our crowd. Oscar is cpiitc fond of the ladies. In fact, his hobby is girls, al- though his motto is. Never trust a woman. We do not know how many eases he has had. but surely quite a number. Oscar is a great devotee of nature study. Whenever the class went out to sec Martie in the Holstein herd Oscar always volunteered to do the milking. L'i on con- sulting an encvclo|)cdia he can tell you what you want to know without fail. Oscar is fond of wrestling. In gym. class, whenever some self-praising gentleman boasted of his wrestling ability Oscar would take him up and speedily throw him down. Although one of the smallest men in the class he has surprising strength. Oscar is a member of the Philomathean Literary So- ciety. the reading room anti-vice committee, and the dra- matic club. Oscar said. “I see only trees and shrubs, but we know this is only modesty. HOWARD M. LEVAN............................. None but himself can be his parallel. Howard, always hailed as Rip,” made his appearance in a farm house near the town of Olev one day in July, 1895. attended the public schools of his native town and was greeted at the Keystone State Normal in the spring of 1912. Here he has proved to be one of the industrious boys of the class. Whether “Rip is a descendant of the one of Knickerbocker fame we arc unable to say, but one thing we arc sure, he was never so sleepy as Irving's “Rip.” He made a trip home almost every two weeks, frequently on the bicycle. His companions can easily guess why. Girls did not require much of his time the first few years as a student, but in his later career at the Normal lie was not to be found among the back numbers. He has no great liking for baseball but is an enthusi- astic tennis player and can frequently be seen on the tennis courts. While here he was an active member of the Philoma- thean Society, as also of the Y. M. C. A. He expects to follow the profession of teaching but a few years, then he intends to become an engineer. 64 Olky. Pa. RUTH S. LEWIS Ski.lkksvii.u-:. Pa. This pretty maid hails from the town of Sellersville. So far as we can find out she must have been born some time during the Revolutionary War, for she says she feels so ancient. Probably her attractiveness is due to her ability to sleep. This must have been her favorite occupation from the beginning, for she told us when she was a baby a certain woman came to see her six times, and she was asleep every time. She has followed this precedent ever since. If she is disturbed during one of her naps all you can hear is “be—still.” Ruth delights in taking walks so long as a snail’s pace is not exceeded. She is an ardent lover of nature and has often been seen going to the library to see the sun | son | set Her maxim is “laugh and grow fat,’' and by living up to her motto she has accomplished wonders. She can laugh, and whatever she loses (in weight) by laughing she makes up by feeding her face with bananas. If she has bananas and a good bed she feels satisfied. She expects to teach, but for how long no one can pre- dict. She prefers to go to State College and associate with sane (Zanc) people. Our best wishes go with her. ANNA J. LIVTNGOOD ------- Kutztown, Pa. Anna is one of the Kutztown bunch. There was a great excitement in the town when Anna made her appear- ance. Anna began her education in the public schools of Kutztown and. being exceptionally bright, she graduated from the high school when very young. She then decided to grace and adorn the Normal bv her brilliance. She has succeeded very well. She is a member of the Keystone Literary Society and has proved to be very active in literary work. Anna always enjoyed taking walks for her health, but when a Ford happened to pass by she preferred riding. She being no longer satisfied to sit beside a chaffeur, de- cided to have a machine of her own. Although she is pos- sessor of the auto and has had a capable and agreeable in- structor in its management she never ventures out alone. Anna is very seldom home to callers and when asked. “Where have you been? she usually gives this answer: “At Christ’s grocery store on an errand for mother.’’ She will teach school near her home, traveling back and forth either in a Buick or a Ford. She is very jolly and has won a host of friends. We are confident that she will be a very suc- cessful little school marm. 65 EVA C. LONG Mkktztown. Pa. Some years ago. in the little valley of Longsdalc, at the foot of Brandywine hill, there was born a blue-eyed maiden by the name of Eva Carrie Long. .She grew up in the heart of nature among flowers and birds. She attended the high school at Longswatnp and graduated from it in 1914. In the fall of the same year she entered the third year class of this Normal School. In literature she was a fine Student, laying special stress on poetry. Her favorite poem is the Village black- smith. a very real bit of verse to her. At present she is taking a special course in photography under a gentleman worker in iron. She is very fond of the neighboring lakes, hence she goes fishing in summer time and skating in win- ter. Although she looks quite innocent, it is well to re- member that looks arc not always to be trusted. Those dreamy blue eyes have wrought no little havoc, it is averred, in the heart of a noble young hero. She is a member of the Keystone Literary Society, but docs not attend very regularly, because meetings are held on a Saturday evening. She intends to make teaching her life vocation and we wish her success. Content to do the best work he could, to preserve his own dignity, and leave the rest to the future. —P. G. Ham Merton Great was the commotion in Wanamakcr when this brown haired boy Shorty. so called by way of antithesis, first opened his peepers. He soon grew to be a husky aid to his father on the farm. Attending the public schools of Lynn township, after graduating, he decided to adorn Keystone Normal with his presence and leave old Wana- makcr to help itself. He entered the first year class and ever since has made good use of his time. “Shorty” knows a good thing when he sees it and for this reason joined Philo. Society. He served one term as its president and be- cause of his ability was made one of the anniversary per- formers. He takes great interest in Y. M. C. A. work, was treasurer of the association, and was sent to Northfield as a delegate. He is interested in ornithology and first studied g-Anders and later Mc-Quail. “Esther” is an attractive book to him. Unless he has opportunity to use his oratorical ability as a Reformed min- ister he will take up the teaching of languages. But in whatever he may undertake he is sure to succeed. 66 HERBERT P. LONG V CATHARINE L. LYNCH...................Kutztown, Pa. What winning graces, what majestic mien! She moves a goddess and looks a queen.” —Popk Dear Editor:—In reply to your request for a short bi- ography of Catherine L. Lynch, I may say that I feel per- fectly competent to furnish the same. She is a resident of Kutztown, beginning her education in the Model School. During this time many incidents occurred which she now. as she says, recalls with pleasure. She next decided to adorn the Normal with her personality. Here her pleasant, social nature, which is characteristic of her, has won for her the admiration of many friends. Contemplation of her nature has always been a source of pleasure to me. She has many good traits—traits that are silent influences, which I have exoerienced. In oratory she has won merited re- nown. and it is with pride that I speak of her as one of the Keystone anniversary performers. Thus far she has not revealed to me what she intends to do in the future, but I feel sure that if the subsequent chosen occupation of this pensive young maiden, as she was called by some of your classmates, is teaching, her usual happy faculty of doing the right thing at the right time will make her work a success, and your class will be proud of her. Sincerely yours, (Mr.)------------ Olky, Pa. EDITH G. MANVILLER Here’s one of our most demure lassies. Before coming to K. S. N. S., Edith attended the Oley high school. In her senior year she was granted a certificate to substitute, and so she substituted for two months in one of the schools of Oley. This decided her life’s vocation and she concluded that the best place to fit herself for this vocation would be this Normal. Edith always attends to her duties. She sometimes is a little late, but her motto is Better late than never. She is a fresh air girl and believes in caring for her health. Consequently she played basketball until she was one of the star players on the senior team. She takes walks to the cross roads, rain or shine, and whether its muddy or dusty never worries her a mite. Why is it that fairy talcs have such a fascination for some children? They certainly have not lost their grip on Edith, for she sits and reads Grimm's fairy tales bv the hour. She has. however, a decided appreciation for other good literature. Edith was a faithful member of the Philo. Society and of the Young Women's Christian Association, contributing of her talents to both organizations. We wish her good luck and future happiness. ESTHER M. MARBURGER Bhrks, Fa. Esther May was born in March about a mile west of Hamburg. In her early career she attended the ungraded schools of Tildcn township, later entering Hamburg lngh school, from which she graduated in I9'4- Desiring to be- come a teacher, she entered K. S. N. S. Esther is a good student and we will not be surprised to find her entering some college. Esther, immediately upon her arrival, became a mem- ber of the Philomathean Literary Society and took an ac- tive part in the Y. W. C. A. She was also a faithful Bible Band worker. She was quite some athlete as well as being one of the star players of the girls’ basket ball team. She was very considerate of the little ones here at school and showed no little ability in work with the younger folk. Esther has been, indeed, a very busy girl, very regu- lar in her attendance upon the long and short sessions held in the library. Her host of Normal friends will all miss her smiling countenance. She says she will teach at least eight years, but we doubt this statement. However, we all wish her success and a “Long life. CLARENCE W. MERKEL - - - - R. D. No. 2, Hamburg, Pa. “A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face; a beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form. It is the finest of the fine arts.”—Bacon Clarence Merkel came to this school from Hamburg, Pa., entering as a first year classman. He has made excel- lent use of his time here. He is an active member of the Y. M. C. A., being a delegate to the state convention at Reading. lie has been one of the faithful workers in so- ciety and has filled the highest offices with an ability and earnestness which, if lie carries into life, will certainly win for him success. For three years he has been an assistant in the Book Room, a position requiring both skill and re- sponsibility. He has a natural aptitude for business, as shown by the ads he secured for this class book. Clarence has well laid plans for the future. After teaching two years he expects to take a course in Muhlen- berg College, thereby fitting himself to become a principal or supervisor in some high school. He hopes he may ob- tain such a position at Boyertown, where lives a very dear friend of his. It is to be hoped that his plans may succeed. 68 V J tutici{ PAUL W METZGER .........................Kutztown, Pa. One bright May evening, in the 90's, our friend, “Metz,” as he is generally called, made his first appearance in Kutztown, his present home. After attending the public schools of Reading and Kutztown he graduated from the Kutztown high school in 1913. The following fall he en- tered the second year class in Normal, since when he has been a student in regular attendance. During these three years he has taken an active part in the different organiza- tions of the school. He belongs to the school orchestra and by his splendid trap drumming and bell playing aids the orchestra greatly in its concerts. He is also a member of the Euterpean, in which he plays first base (bass). By the fact that he was a Keystone anniversary performer, it is easily seen that he is an earnest and active society worker. Since the close of last winter term “Metz” seems lost be- cause that was the time he lost his Keys, and we all know what that means. He ranks high in his class, as may be judged by seeing his name on the commencement program. “Metz” wishes to teach a few years and then continue his studies. ERMA MEYER Erma is one of our girls who was born in April and whose ambition it is to wear a diamond. After graduating from the Upper Milford high school she decided to further her education by coming to the Keystone State Normal School. While here she made good use of her time. She visited her home quite frequently during her last year, per- haps on account of some attraction at Perkiomen. Prob- ably this was the reason that, although she was not very fond of studying “History of education,” she liked to study and discuss “Luther.” During her first year here Erma became anxious to find out how the “Steward's Building” looked on the inside, so, blooming with the measles, she made a twenty-one day stay there, coming out just in time to enjoy the Field Day pageant. At the time of the Philo, anniversary Erma was much interested in Paris, especially its style of haircut. Since then something has happened and she has ceased to speak about the Paris hair cut. She has worked faithfully, and as she possesses many of the qualities of a good teacher, among these a determination to succeed in anything she undertakes, we feel sure she will prosper in her work. 69 NORMAN O. MI MM McKeansbi;kg. Pa. Great men arc not measured by stature alone. —Anon Norman, usually called “Bonus, was born near Me- Keansburg, Schuylkill county, one stormy December morn- ing in the year 1894. He attended the public schools of his native place. Noticing that he was destined to be of low sta- ture he determined to grow in knowledge instead. It was for this reason that he came to the Keystone Normal as a first year student in the fall of 1912. He has always been a studious fellow. An active mem- ber of the Keystone Literary Society, he hardly ever re- fused to substitute, especially if it was for a member of the opposite sex. He is a very busy fellow. If he cannot be found in the library or in his favorite lounging place, room 301. he can be occasionally found in his own room. He is very fond of raising hot discussions, his favorite theme while a third year student was about War(r). Since then he has changed opinions several times. Norman is quite a basket- ball player, although he never made a practice of it. His greatest delight in the athletic line was to play a fast game of tennis with a sociable partner. What his profession will be keeps his classmates guess- ing. but with his interests concentrated on Souderton he is likely to make a hit in the world somehow. % WINIFRED G. MOYER..................R. D. No. 3, Oley, Pa. “She was a dainty little maid and he was very tall. “Fine goods come in small packages. This little girl is no exception to this rule. Winnie hails from Oley She was born one beautiful Easter morning, on one of the hil ' overlooking the Oley valley. After Winnie had finished her course in the public schools she decided that she would like to become a teacher and at once began teaching, gain- ing some experience in teaching before coming to the Nor- mal. to which she came to perfect her preparation. Winnie believes that little people should be heard as well as seen and we can often hear her on the halls. Usually she is trying to make some one laugh or to cheer a sad friend, for Winnie has a very charming personality. Her birth in April is, probably, responsible for the amount of fickleness she displays, which is evidenced in her ability to decide which “tall Paul she likes best. There are some indications that devoted “Gus” will win out in the end. It is. probably, because she is so short that she hopes to win a long companion for life. Winnie is very ambitious, a willing worker in Philo and a faithful member of the Y. W. C. A. 70 ■ V i ?(sl flZ ’tw JAMES G. MORGAN Tower City, Pa. An affable, courteous gentleman.’' Not so many years ago there was born in the town of Slatington, Pa., a child, who was named James G. Morgan. What a mighty oak the little acorn doth produce! Behold the face of this member! Look into those deep, searching eyes and volumes arc to be read. While attending the public schools of his native town he pursued his studies with great zeal and earnestness. His ambitions for knowledge were not satisfied by a common school course, but led him to Normal in the fall of 1914. Since then his life reads like a fairy tale. In athletics he has shown a commendable enthusiasm. He is a diligent student, attends church regularly, and for special reasons never misses the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. joint meet- ings. He takes an active part as a member of the Keystone Literary Society. His colleagues bestowed upon him the honor of representing them at their anniversary. In these and other organizations he developed oratorical ability, which his classmates hope may in the near future gain for him a prominent place in the estimation of the public. He is the president of the class. As such lie has pre- sided at class meetings with rare good judgment and cour- tesy. He enjoys in an unusual degree the respect of his classmates. , JEANNE M. MORGAN..........................................Frackville, Pa. Behold a giantess from Frackville. Although hailing from that section she is the least bit more industrious than the rest of its representatives. She professes to have no special fondness for the men folks, but one may wander into her room most any time and find Jeanne building air castles. Would that they did not crumble to dust ! When asked what occupation she would like to sec any boy pursue, she readily answered. “Why that of a carpenter, then he can carry out all my plans.” How often the hall teacher has been obliged to ask her to go to her own room she will hardly tell and on this point her biographer prefers to be silent. As a member of the literary society she is often found scouring the halls hunting a substitute when her name ap- pears on the program. She is strenuous, however, on the tennis courts, wearying her opponents by chasing balls. But we must say good-bye to our little Jeanne, wishing her all the success and happiness that may come to any one. 71 EMILY M. MORRISON' GRACEDAI.fi, Pa. The girl worth while Is the girl with a smile When everything goes dead wrong. Emilv the girl of smiles, hails from Luzerne’s highest point, Mountain Top. Emily wisely decided to avoid the noisy Fourth of July and so arrived on Mother Earth on the 15th. After graduating from Fairview high school, she decided to prepare for the teaching profession at the Normal. Emily has developed a remarkable characteristic, talkativeness. While here the first year. Emily delighted to read history and myths, especially Arthur and the “Knights of the Round Table.” Whether or not these stories were too exciting for her no one can conjecture, but she has changed from history to German, for which she has developed a great fondness. She is able to decline the word “Hausman fluently. Coming under the influence of a good teacher, Emily is quite proficient in tennis and delights in winning love games. She is also noted for her ability to perform gymnastic stunts. Emily is an active member of the Philo. Society, also of the Progressive Party. She expects to specialize in languages at State College and as a special take up domestic science. IRMA R. MOSER Muir, Pa. Irma, another of our Schuylkill county girls, began her education here about three years ago, and has shown great interest in industrial occupations. She thinks that industry is the mother of invention. She has proved to be a faithful member of the Keystone Literary Society, always performing her duties and many times the duties of others. She has a great liking for music and that unusual talent is hers is evidenced by the interest she takes in the choral societies and the orchestra of the K. S. N. S. While Irma does a great deal of studying, we also find that her social side is developed as well. This shows on the tennis courts, and even though she prefers that the kovs remain on the other side of the net. she still thinks that the game runs along more smoothly if a male player is taking part. A reasonable conclusion is that, although Irma has not shown any particular attention to anyone here, there are hopes that she will some day find one whom she con- siders perfect. She will long be remembered for her jolly good nature and she certainly deserves all the success possible. 72 ANNIE M. MOYER R. D. No. I, VlRGINSVILLE, Pa. “In such green places the first kings reigned, Slept in their shades, and angels entertained; With such old counsellors they did advise, And by frequently sacred groves grew wise. —E. Waller This bright, happy, jovial young lady was born some years ago at Lenhartsville, Pa. Little is known of her life in this village. After completing the course afforded her by the schools of her birthplace she felt she should join the ranks of teachers laboring in the schools of Pennsylvania. To this end her ambition brought her to Normal. Anna says she dislikes farming, but we are positive her reason for it was that some day she hopes to be a titled woman holding court of her own. Because of her determin- ation there will be one less farmer’s wife in Berks county. Although a day student, Anna is quite familiar with the boarding students and is very conversant on matters pertaining to the anthracite regions. Because of her ami- able disposition she has won a large host of friends, of whom none the least is a king. She is an active member of the Keystone Literary Society. FLOSSIE M. MOYER......................................Port Clinton, Pa. “No man hath yet my love, Lucky he who succeeds in finding it.” Flossie May was horn away back in the nineties in the town of Port Clinton. Her parents felt so proud of her developing abilities that they decided to send her to school. In course of time Flossie came to Keystone. We hope she will be able to manage a school, especially since she presents such a formidable appearance. Her only worriment is that she is afraid she will become slender and slim. Flossie has other accomplishments besides managing and prize-fight- ing; she can sing. “I love the cows and chickens” is her favorite song: but she likes other barnyard animals better. If Flossie can not be found in her own room she can surely be found in 34. Flossie professes to have a very clean room; but because of some strange misunderstanding or some other reason she was compelled to seek lodging elsewhere for several nights. Of course, she put the blame on the mosquitoes ( ?). Flossie is a faithful Y. W. C. A. worker and also keeps a “Hershey counter;” but she claims that her own pocket-book suffers most. She is a Philo, and takes delight in serving on the musical part of the program because, you know, she wants to develop her talent. 73 HELEN J. MOYER Fern dale. Pa. Do you love life? Then lo not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.—Benjamin T-kankun Jac is one of our laughing lassies and is fond of all out-door sports, especially water sports, but does hate to he upset from a canoe when not pre- pared for a ducking. She is also fond of candy, especially Wilbur buds, and she says they taste es- pecially good when it takes a hatchet to open the place where they are hidden. But this is not all she is fond of. for while attending the Y. W. C. A. conference at Eagles Mere during the summer of 1915. giblet sauce was her favorite condiment. If you think the buds on Jac's hat can tell tales ask them about the Lehigh-Lafayette game. In spite of her many jovial times she is never forgetful of others and has made many friends while at K. S. N. S. Helen expects to be a pedagogic maiden for a time and then become a physical culturist. She vows she will live in single blessedness, but, like the Scotchman, we have our “doots.” LUTHER M. MOYER....................................New Ringgold Pa. A man in earnest finds means, or, if he cannot find, he creates them.—Cii a n n i nc Ever since Luther opened his eyes one fine summer morning in the year 1892 he has been patiently endeavoring to advance himself. For this reason he was unsatisfied with the knowledge the public schools of his place could give him, and so came to the Keystone State Normal School in the spring of 1913. Since arriving here he has been a most zealous student, ever studying and ever striving for some enlightenment in his daily studies. 1 lis family horse being blind, he was just as capable of studying his Latin after the lights were extin- guished as before. He was an active Keystone Literary Society member and a regular attendant of the Evangelical Sunday school. The girls never bothered Luther much while at the Normal, although, as some of his close companions say, he was always down-hearted and desolate if his weekly pink letter did not reach him on the day expected. Being a prosperous farmer's son, he intends to teach but a few years and then take up scientific farming on his father's farm. If he is as ardent in his efforts in the future as he has been in the past, he is certain of success. 74 NORMAN Y. MOYER R. D. Xo. 3. Olky, Pa. Gras]) your opportunities. —Anon One stormy winter morning a little boy by the name of Norman Moyer opened his eyes to this fair world. The foundations for his education were laid in the public schools of Oley. His desire to do something for humanity inspired him to become a school teacher. He taught for three suc- cessive years in the public schools of his community, at the same time taking special work during spring terms at this Normal. We were very glad to welcome him to our class in the fall of 1914. Since here he has taken much interest in Y. M. C. A. work, especially during his senior year, and was sent as a delegate to a conference at Reading. He was a member of the choir and an active Keystone Literary So- ciety worker. As a musician, he is an accomplished tenor, also a good violinist. Why. with all these accomplishments, he should not be more of a ladies’ man than he is, one can- not say. The fault must be his lack of inclination to fem- inine society. His future he has not yet clearly planned. It is gen- erally understood, however, that he intends to teach a few years and then do some general philanthropic work. Good luck. Norman. SARA E. MOYER Robeson 1 a. Pa. One of the smaller girls of our class, Sara, was born in the suburbs of Robesonia. At the usual age Sara attended the ungraded school of the suburb. She then went to high school at Robesonia for one year. Hut, as this did not prove satisfactory, she decided to go to the high school at Womelsdorf. Here a friendship was formed that was continued until after graduating from the high school, when she came to the Normal. She has been a faithful member of the Y. W. C. A. and a Philomathean, although her frequent visits home made regular attendance impos- sible. Strange to say. when she was absent there was two absentees. During the quarantine period many intimate friends were separated. Sara suffered thus, but Uncle Benny performed the duties of Uncle Sam as postmaster to her full satisfaction. After graduating she intends to teach until she has obtained her master diploma: probably then she will begin using domestic science which she has learned here at school. “She talke, and talks, but that is human: She likes the boys, but she’s a woman.” 75 RUTH R. N ESTER R. D. No. i, Auburn, Pa. “Few and precious arc the words which the lips of wisdom utters. This curly-headed lass, hailing from the little burg of Drehersville, entered upon her career at the Normal as a second year pupil. Ruth is a member of the Keystone Lit- erary Society, also of the Y. W. C. A. In both organiza- tions she always performed her duties well. She is noted for being a studious girl, talented in many things, but par- ticularly brilliant in physics. She has found summer vaca- tions spent in Bucks county, with her chum, to be most en- joyable. Her first trip to Bucks proved to be a most mem- orable one. She says she can never forget certain inci- dents associated with a little red school house. During her senior year she found especial enjoyment in the lecture course. It is surmised, however, that it was not the sentences of the lecturer that gave her joy so much as the friendly conversation after the lecture was ended. Ruth is a very quiet girl and is attentive to her task. She is never found gazing into empty space, not even when she is going from class to class. She says she expects to teach. Time, however, will tell whether this assertion is altogether correct. There are some indications that her leanings toward practical pedagogy are not so pronounced as she asserts. AMELIA II. NEVERLA.................................................Sheppton, Pa. “Grasp your opportunities.” This is Amelia. She is the “little” girl who came to brighten the Xeverla home one day in February. She went to the public schools of Sheppton until she reached the grammar grade; then she thought it was more dignified to go to a normal school, that is how we have her in this notable class of 1916. Amelia has always been a faithful student and was usually found pouring over her books, but always found time to go to the lectures and all entertainments that were held in the chapel. Amelia has always been especially interested in shoes and always wanted to know the make of a pair before purchasing them. Although this inquiry may have been mystifying to the salesman, the cause is very clear to us. Mill was always at her post when duty called. She was a member of the Y. W. C. A. and a faithful Philoma- thean. never shirking a duty and always present unless prevented from attending by necessity. She has evidently profitted by her work here, and will carry her knowledge into the little school room where she says' she is going to teach for no one can say how long a time. 76 FRANCES U. NEWALL Goulosboro. Pa. “God give us Tall | wo)men. sun-crowned, above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. This is one of our tall young ladies who after enjoying exceptional popularity among her schoolmates, and gradu- ating from the Gouldsboro high school, chose Keystone as her field of further endeavor. Frances, better known as Pete. is of a sweet disposition, but when her temper is aroused woe to the persons concerned. She is also quite a poetess, and often surprises the girls by reading a short poem she has written when inspired. It is thus apparent that, besides being a good student, Frances is talented in other lines. Her favorite maxim is “Jack of all trades and master of one. She is very fond of physical culture and will some day make her mark in that line, for she has always been a leader in gym. She is a faithful Philomathean and displayed her ability when she recited a reading on the temperance question in chapel. She expects to teach for several years at least. We are sure that her oersistency and earnestness will make her successful in teaching or in any other work she may undertake. VIOLA M. NOLL.................................. One stormy day back in the nineties a little brown- haired baby arrived in the ho ne of the Noll family at Butz- town. In a few days the pleasing name of Viola May was bestowed on the child. Viola attended the schools of Butztown and after her graduation there she decided to further her education at Keystone State Normal. She has always taken a great in- terest in her work here, and thus stood high in her class. She also took an active interest in Y. W. C. A. work and was elected as one of the delegates to the Y. W. C. A. con- vention at Eaglesmere. Viola was also very prompt in attending to her Philo. Society work, and surely has been one of its most earnest workers. Viola always appeared to be a very quiet little girl, but yet at times she was quite “witty” and toward the end of her third year here she began to show a liking to play tennis with one of the opposite sex. Viola likes mysteries, especially the one in her room, which was evidently quite attractive to her. as often when she could not be found, her friends concluded that she was meditating on it in some hidden nook. Butztown, Pa. 77 RUTH M. RICKIN'...................................................Aixkntown. Pa. She is sweet of disposition. She is loving, wise and kind: She's full of true affection. She cannot be defined.” This is one of the quiet little people of our class. She does not talk much, but what she says she means. She hails from the lively city of Allentown, having graduated from the Allentown College for Women, whence she journeyed to the K. S. X. S. During her last year here she paid fre- quent visits to her home. What the attraction was she would never tell, but we all have opinions of our own. She was very studious and found agriculture very interesting because the author of the text is Warren. Ruth has been a diligent and faithful student and soon we will see her in charge of one of the schools in our com- monwealth. This will be the beginning of Ruth's future work, but whether she intends to follow this line of teach- ing all her life we do not know, having no data on which to base a prophecy, since she does not believe in giving every- body the benefit of her thoughts. SOPHIA PISCO......................................... While the dimple and the blush, Starting softly to her cheek, Told the tale that her lips Were too timid to speak.” We now have the great opportunity of introducing the quiet, sedate, and jolly Sophia. After graduating from the Gouldsboro high school, where she had the honor of being the only member of her class, she journeyed to K. S. X. S. to further her education. She is very sociable and fond of entertaining. She is admired greatly bv ---------- (we are not supposed to know by whom), but judging from the numerous boxes of chocolates she has received by parcel post, we may form our own conclusions. Her motto is, Blessed is the man who invented sleep.” Nevertheless when it is time to go home she doesn't give a rap even if she has to get up at 4 a. m., Sophia's most pleasing characteristic is her philosophi- cal disposition. She says she will teach all her life, but per- haps she will change her mind later. But whatever she does, be it teaching or something else, she has the best wishes of all her classmates. Gouldsboro, Pa. 78 I,EON L. RAIIX Ki'Tztown, P. . Affection is a coal that must be cooled : Else, suffered; it will set the heart on fire. —Shakespeare Some time after the Civil War. when Kid came on the scene of action, his parents thought that he would make a first-class school teacher. With this end in view they sent him to K. S. X. S. During the time he spent here he used for his motto. Do not let your studies interfere with your education. Judging from his actions Kid must have been the source of much trouble to his parents. To be serious, however, he has a mechanical bent which will some day be a valuable asset in his life. He is a type of physical manhood which should be the standard of fitness to-day. As a track man he is hard to beat and he rendered excellent service to his class at their annual track meet It seems that Allentown has a wonderful attraction for Leon, as is surmised from frequent trolley rides he takes in that di- rection. If on one of these trips the car should exceed the speed limit Kid would feel no alarm in facing the Alder- men of Allentown. Leon is a member of the Keystone Literary Society and an honorary member of the Allentown Eire Company. HELEN M. RE13ER............................................Hamburg, Pa. Maiden, with dark brown eyes; In whose orbs a shadow lies. Like in dusk the evening skies! —Longfellow This is Helen Eva, one of the girls of our class hailing from Hamburg. Her birthday comes in November. After attending the Hamburg schools and graduating from high school in 1914. he determined to continue her education at K. S. X’. S. and at once became an active member of the Keystone Literary Society and of the Y. W. C. A. She was very fond of athletics, being a member of both the girls’ basket ball team and their hockey team. I Iclen was very studious but always found time to play harmless jokes on her schoolmates. She is of a somewhat tricky but good-natured disposition. She always derived great pleasure from going home, it is probable that I lelcn had a definite purpose in view, and there seems to be some spe- cial attraction at Hamburg other than the home folks. Helen loves children and because of it means to devote her life to them. We do not doubt this, for some day we expect to find her the queen of some good man’s heart and home. 79 HAROLD J. REIN BOLD Em .u s. Pa. Ever since September 13, 1897 South Fifth street has been in more or less of a turmoil, for then it was that I larold, better known as Boldy, came to Emaus. When lie en- tered high school the teachers foresaw impending trouble and prepared to meet it bravely. He graduated with the class of 1914 as one of its brightest members. Then this Xormal School was selected for Harold’s further educa- tion. Boldy is often found in the study room and even oftener in the corridors. He uses his big gray eyes to ad- vantage in both places, for more than one girl has been smitten by them. I le has made a specialty of teasing girls and attending lectures (but not alone). He is fond of calling and receives calls at all times, including “morning” calls bv his mother and “office calls by the principal. His favorite study is Virgil, but he contends that if he should have to study it for another year, he would buy an auto, because it moves faster than a horse, and even borrowed “horses are expensive. lie expects to make teaching his life work. FLORENCE A. REINERT............................... Little, but 0I1 my ! One cold December day, Fleetwood received a startling surprise when Florence Alberta made her appearance. Folks had just about gotten over their surprise when she surprised them again. Fleetwood was entirely too small for such a personage as Flossie, so she journeyed to Reading where life, before she entered Key- stone Normal, was one big adventure. “Flossie” gradu- ated from the Reading high school, even though she spent her afternoons at the Orpheum applauding the “leading man or took canoe trips up the river. Just ask her about her escapades ; they are very interesting. Normal life proved to be quite as enjoyable for her. judging from the frequency with which she plays tennis and the hours she spends in the library. Like another of her crowd, she is especially devoted to the study of the “Life of St. Paul.” Every Monday, evening at 8.30 you will hear a voice float down the hall, “Girls, was the mail around ?” and sure enough its “Flossie” out in the hall looking to see whether the next epistle from Paul had not arrived from “Penn State.” Good things arc done up in little packages.” Flossie is an exemplification of this.

The man of firm and noble soul No faction's clamors can control; Xo threatening tyrant’s darkling brow Can swerve him from his just intent. —Byrox This innocent looking fellow was born about twenty years ago. After his graduation from Longswamp high school he decided to seek a higher education and as a result he came to the K. S. X. S. During the time he spent with us he has always been a faithful worker in the class room and also as a member of the Keystone Literary Society. He is a practical man, having a liking for farming so we expect to hear from him graduating from Cornell and later taking up scientific farming. The training he received here was surely invaluable to him. Because of his energetic and persistent work along the lines of the profession which he intends to follow for the next few years, we all feel he will be successful. Although a day student William has by reason of his good nature made many friends among the boarding stu- dents lie is opposed to suffrage for women, and this may account for his lack of affinities while at Xormal. HAROLD C. RHODE............................ Of all happy men that I ever did see, There never was a happier mortal than he Who looks in the glass and can truthfully say I'm monarch, I'm master, of all I survey! —John K. Bancs One snowy day in December, 1896, while a flock of wild geese was winging its way south, Rockland township was enlivened bv the birth of Rhodie, or “Jeff,” as he is best known. When he was one year old his parents took him along with their other household furnishings to Pleetwood. At the age of three he was taken to Kutztown. Here his school career began. When he was nine years old his parents took him to Topton and at eleven back to Kutztown again. This is his present home. I Ic entered the Model School and in time passed into the Keystone Xormal proper. Harold is interested in athletics. He is a member of the 1’llilomatbean Literary Society. Harold is one of the three class I lomerians and as such won his spurs in Greek. He almost fell when a girl winked at him two years ago, but he mastered his passions. He is immune to further attack. 1 le now considers woman an impediment and likes to have a good time such as only a crowd of boys can have. His goal is the army. He is likely to become a great general. 81 Kutztown, Pa. •‘Twilight still or babbling brooklet. Glittering stream or silent stone. Wondrous songs of sighing woodland. All make nature be thy home.

After teaching one year she came to Normal. While here she seemed for a time intent on agriculture, but for various reasons of her own she now prefers nature study. She can express her views on “Humanity with eloquence. Mamie is fond of music, particularly “Wagner’s works. Besides this she is well booked in fiction, for whenever any- one wished a good book, they knew Mamie could tell them of one A very patriotic girl is Mamie for. believing charity begins at home, she has helocd considerably in increasing the postal rcccints while at Normal. She is a very active member, one skilled in crocheting and reading, of the Key- stone Literary Society and a devoted member of the Y. W. C. A. It is Mamie’s intention to teach a year or so and then take a special course in State College. She will un- doubted’.v be an excellent teacher. BEULAH D. ROTHEXBFRGER Beulah was born at Leesport July 4. 1897. Conditions were not very favorable to her at that place, so she moved to Fleetwood some time later. In the spring of 1914 she graduated from the high school at that place and in the fall of the same year entered the Normal School as a third year pupil. Her favorite study is physics, but she is also very fond of nature study because it is simple and she believes in taking things easy. Domestic science also appeals to her very much because she sometimes gets something to cat. especially sandwiches : then, too. she expects to make use of it shortly. Even though she is a day student, she is a regular attendant at Philo. Society meetings. This may be due to the reason that she enjoys being “dodged home bv Dewey. She is going to teach but has signed the con- tract for but one year. Then she will be Al(b) right. Much happiness to both ! Fi.f.etwooo. Pa BEULAH ROTHEK.MEL Kutztown. Pa. Beulah Rothermel was horn in Kutztown. When quite a small girl she started to the public school and in the spring of 1913 graduated from the high school of this town. After completing this course she entered the Keystone State Nor- mal School and will soon satisfy her desire to become a school teacher. Beulah is a member of the Philomathean Literary Society, in which she tried to improve her talents by talking on abstract subjects. Beulah thinks more of her health than of her studies, so we usually find her trying to help the borough of Kutz- town by pressing bricks. Two years ago Beulah seemed especially fond of a lily and they seemed happiest in the beautiful, cool shade of Kutztown Park. Beulah lately has manifested some preference for a member of the class who is helping himself along by working at times in a tonsorial establishment of the town. Beulah's desire is to be a teacher. While in this profes- sion she will instill into her pupils that “vanity is the very spice of life, it gives it all its flavor. We hope that Beulah will be very successful in her work. ESTHER Y.

The rapturous touch of some divine surprise Flash deep suffusion of celestial dyes. —Colk During the summer of ninety-five, in Norristown, Pa., Esther made her first debut. Her parents later moved to Allentown, Pa., where she attended school and where she was a great favorite. Esther has attended many different institutions of learning in her short life, but after having graduated from the Kutztown high school in 1912 she started to Normal to get wise. There is no place like Asburv Park. thinks Babe. for there she has spent many enjoyable summers. She things canoeing is great, especially near the ocean. Esther ex| ects to l e a school-marm of some note. We will not attempt to say how long she will be Miss Ruth to her pupils and her friends. Esther is a young lady of remarkable character and ability and has a bright future before her. Esther is an active member of the Keystone Literary Society and has shown deep interest in literary work. S3 Bala, Pa. Susan Rebecca first looked upon this world some time in the month of August. After having graduated from Bala high school, where her life was full of adventure. (Sue is nothing if not adventuresome), she came to Key- stone Normal to complete her education. Sue. however, did not like boarding life at school, so decided to board in town, where she could enjoy more freedom and fuller privi- leges. Her greatest achievement is talking and she is so apt in use of her talent, especially of reporter, that she has acquired the name of Sassy Sue. She is a great enter- tainer. as the gentlemen will avow. Her interests, how- ever. are centered in a drug store, as may be inferred from the mail which she receives. Sue is a faithful Keystonian and the course in domes- tic science appealed greatly to her. Of course, since Sue is to head the first of our members of the class of those who launch on the “matrimonial seas. this interest will not be useless. We are sorry Sue has decided not to dis- play her ability as a teacher, but we wish her good luck in her endeavors to care for the doctor. “All’s well that ends well. Look! here is our Debbie, who was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schwarc on a farm near Stouchsburg on a bleak December day. She completed the course in the public schools and graduated irom the Marion township high school. She, together with one of her classmates, came to the Keystone State Normal School to further her education. Here her cheerful disposition won many friends for her When in good spirits she was often found whistling She wanted, however, to be called by the Pennsylvania-German name “Pciffcr instead of the English name whistler. She has scorned the attention of the young men of the school probably because there is someone at home who is always glad to see her. During our period of quarantine for scar- latina Debbie was one of the selected few who went to live in the infirmary for four weeks. She was a faithful student, being on the honor roll, and besides was an earnest Philo, worker. She also took great interest in the religious exercises of the school. As she has not yet decided on her life work, we, wishing her success, will let the fates decide her future career. Stouciisbi-rc.. Pa. SUE R. SASSAMAN DEBBIE C. SCUWARE 84 ALFRED J SCHWEYER R. D. Xo. 2. Reading. Pa. Alfred is one of the quiet lads of our school. He has attended this institution for four long years. Of his early school days little is known. This year, however, he dis- played some ability in oratory, showing it especially in his mention of “Lincoln's address. He seldom was absent from classes, but whenever he was absent we missed him. To many of us he is a quiet lad and only speaks when spoken to. What he says he evidently means, but too often he does not say anything. His smiles will brighten the darkest day and his jokes are good to hear. That he has succeeded in Normal is shown by the fact that he easily passed his examinations and has been awarded a certificate to teach. Alfred’s bash- fulness has sometimes kept him in the background, but we know him to be one of the big men of the class in many ways. He is noted for being able to translate a German lesson, write an essay, and study history in less than half an hour. He expects to teach at Temple. BESSIE E. SEARLE Stouciisburg, Pa. During the month of August, some time in the nineties, there was born into the family of Samuel XI. Scarlc. of Stouciisburg, a little golden-haired girl to whom the name of Bessie was given. As a growing lass Bessie became am- bitious to secure an education, so. after graduating from the Marion township high school, she same to this school. Here her career has been markedly successful. An earnest Philo, worker she received her reward by being elected a speaker for the anniversary. Bessie was rather quiet and always seemed indifferent to the opposite sex. but one night she shocked her fellow students by being found seated along the pipes. She took a great interest in gymnasium work and was always glad when the command “Mark time, mark. was given. Bessie is musically inclined, taking great interest in both vocal and instrumental music while a pupil in the musical department of this school. Her career at Normal was ended as a commencement s| eaker. She expects to go to college after receiving her master diploma. We would not be surprised if we should one day hear of her as a teacher of English because while here she took a great interest in that study. S5 m Ary l. sevler Reading, Pa. HAROLD A. SHOEMAKER - - R. D. No. i. New Ringgoi.0, Pa. Harold was born in the little known village of Chain, but the widely famous county of Schuylkill. He was the source of much trouble to his mother for sixteen years, until she sent him to Normal. Ilis early life on the farm has served him well during his sojourn here, for a farmer's lad learns much of patience and endurance. These qualities have enabled Harold to make remarkable advance in his work. His classmates, soon after his arrival, gave him the nickname of Shucy, by which he is generally known. He is particularly fond of languages and is an adept in German. Believing in plenty of exercise, he often takes long walks. When asked how many miles he could walk, he said he be- lieved a mille. Serene and good-natured, he lets the other fellow do the worrying and takes life philosophically. “Shuey is especially interested in chemistry, for which study lie has a natural bent. Since chemistry is a broad field and offers many opportunities, it will occasion no sur- prise if our class will be honored by the successful career of this young man. His athletic skill is attested by his position on the ime- 16 basket-ball team. He is a faithful member of the Philo- mathean Literary Society. Mary was born in Reading but did not attend its schools. She received her education in the public schools of various towns near by and graduated from the Ontelau- nee township high school. She always wanted an educa- tion. so in the spring of 1914 Her desire was fulfilled when she was entered as a student in the Keystone State Normal School Here she was called Sailor by some of the mem- bers of the faculty who are not adepts in the German tongue. She was famous as a hall walker, visiting a great deal, but somehow always managed to know her lessons the next day. She took great interest in psychology last year and this year it seemed strange that Mary went to third year Bible band. There must have been some reason. How about it. Mary? She was a faithful Keystonian. tak- ing a great interest in its programs. She has been one of our best students, yet always found time to attend most of our religious meetings. She would like to go to college and some day we expect to hear of her as a teacher of elocution. Charm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul. Intent he seem’d, And pondering future things of wondrous weight. —Dry den ?( tutiW [ ANNA M. SIMMONS Minersvii.lk. Pa. Oh! sweet fond dream of human love! Two fiery clouds brightly seen above Melting in heaven's depths away. —Whittier Anna, better known as Sim. a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Simmons, of Minersville. has a loving and gen- erous disposition. “Good temper, like a sunny day, sheds a brightness over everything. seems to be the motto guid- ing her demeanor. Although she did not enter German on her list of studies in Normal, nevertheless she had more knowledge of that subject (Dutch) than many other students, and for all illustrations and explanations she used Fcnstcr(macher).

Then, if there was any fun to be had. Sim was in with the crowd. Sim had an idea that she never could enjoy tennis and always refused to play until late in Spring term, when she came to the conclusion that she could like it and since then has played quite frequently, possibly because of the “love games ' Nevertheless. Anna has not allowed her play to inter- fere with work, especially in the Keystone Literary Society. MILDRED K. SMITH Tom-ox. Pa This young lady hails from Middlelnirg. Snyder coun- ty. Mildred attended the public schools and graduated from the high school there. Being anxious to further her education, she journeyed to the K. S. X. S., making her home in Topton. She travels back and forth daily on the Kutztown Flyer.” She enjoys being a day student, as she thinks she would often break the rules of the school if she were to board. Being of a jovial disposition she is a very pleasant associate among hc day students. Mildred is an active member of the Keystone Literary Society and attended regularly. She is very fond of the study of l ot- any and takes an unusual interest in botanical lore, often neglecting her other friends and duties. She is usually found studying trees along sidewalks in Topton. Mildred likes to attend baseball games, always keeping close watch on center field. She intends to follow the teaching profession for at least a year, but whom she will be a co-worker with that is for the future to decide. G. GILBERT SNYDER Wom elsdorf, Pa. Man is nature’s sole mistake. —W. S. Gilbert “Heinie was born at Womelsdorf June 15. 1897. lie received his grounding in the principles of education in the schools of his native town. After graduating from the Womelsdorf high school he decided to go to school else- where. 11 is sister's alma mater seemed as good as any to him, so in the fall of 1914 lie came to the Keystone State Normal School. Mis liveliness soon made him a favorite in the class. His cheery greetings are recognized and re- turned on all sides. The girls all thought that it was a pity he brought his girl with him. Sara is envied by many long- ing eyes. George is a lover of Hamburg steak, as one may judge from his much talking about it. “lleinie” was a mem- ber of the class basket-ball team. He also served his term of 30 days in the infirmary. If asked why he was put in it he says, “for stealing chickens. George is a member of the Philomathcan Literary Society. After teaching two years he is going to P. C. P. George was honored with the office of class treasurer in his senior year. His financial duties were discharged with precision and accuracy. ELMER E. SPATZ......................................Strausstown. Pa. “ 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.” —Tennyson Elmer hails from a beautiful spot along the Blue Moun- tains. Great was the joy when he came to brighten the home of a thrifty Berks county farmer. He takes great interest in the things about him and belongs to the Re- formed Church. He attended the public school and graduated from Strausstown grammar. Desiring to be better prepared for life, he entered K. S. N. S. in the spring of 1913. Being a very active member of the Y. M. C. A., he accompanied the cabinet, of which he was a member, to the conferences at Northfield and Reading. He has great talent in vocal music and is also an active Philo. Elmer favors preparedness for the future, as is mani- fested by his attitude toward the girls. The prospects of a railroad tunnel through the Blue Mountains, thus join- ing Berks and Schuylkill, is considered by him. as he desires a more direct route to New Ringgold, a place with special attractions for him. His favorite book is Haggard’s “Mar- garet.” His life work is not defintely decided upon, but he in- tends to do some travelling throughout this country. He ex| ects then to settle down to some profession and lead a quiet and busy life. 88 ALFRED D. ST EC K El R. D. Xo. i. Coplay, Pa. Alfred Daniel Stcckel was born March 4, 1897, at Egypt. Lehigh county, where he attended the public schools After graduating from the Whitehall high school with first honors, this genial gentleman, who had been previously inspired with the ideals of higher education, came to Normal. Alfred is endowed with the capabilities which will make him prominent and successful in life. As a speaker he used his gift of oratory with eloquence, and the Philo- mat hean Literary Society proudly claims him as one of her active members. For several terms he served as musical director and in his senior year as president for one term. His classmates are proud of him. because of his accomplish- ments in music. He renders modern classical selections beautifully on the piano. Besides being skilled in instru- mental music, Alfred is fond of vocal selections. One of his favorite selections is Maggie.” Alfred was the musical director and secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. He taught one of the Bible band groups during his senior year. From his in- terest and faithfulness in Christian service, we infer that he may some day become a minister, although that is not his present ambition. After teaching a few years Alfred expects to take a teacher's course in college. The probable achievements of this pleasant gentleman will likely be an honor to his “Alma Mater MARIAN E. STEVENS................................. “The shadows of the trees and rocks Are like the dark shadeof thy locks. This is Marian Stevens, better known to most as “Steve. Her home is in Minersvillc, in the land of black diamonds. She is the daughter of Mrs. Robert Stevens. Her graduation from two High schools before she came to Keystone Normal shows that she was even in early life a studious and energetic girl. She's awfully afraid she'll have to live a life of single blessedness, but of that those who know her most intimately have little fear. Steve is desperately fond of blue eyes and a locket that she wears contains the portrait of a youth whose eyes are said to be a most attractive blue. She gets mail frequently from Mount Carmel and claims that Mount Carmel is the dear- est place on earth to her. Steve is very fond of all athletic games and has seldom missed a gacm at Normal. She played on the girls’ basket ball team and found in tennis a real pleasure, but it had to he a real test of skill. No love games for her. She is a member of the Keystone Literary Society. Having a special liking for tiny tots, she expects to qualify as a teacher in the primary grades. Minersvili.E. Pa. ......................R. D. No. 3, Hamburg. Pa. She is a learned creature, and one who never feared to tel! her knowledge. To say that Anna is making good would be putting it mildly. If you know her you are acquainted with an ex- cellent product of the Hamburg high school. She always has her work done on time, and done well, but she can make more noise than all the rest of the class put together. She has great vocal ability and can be heard a great distance. Her favorite songs are: How can 1 leave thee? and Home, sweet home. She takes a lively interest in certain of her studies, as can be seen in domestic science class, in which she expresses her views quite frequently and with decided positiveness. Anna is always looking forward to receiving boxes from parents and a close friend. This poor girl gets home- sick so often and goes home at least every two weeks When here over Saturday she is always wondering whether the mail will bring her a box from home. Is it from home? She has a brother John. Anna is an active member of the Keystone Society, her membership in that society being due to the influence of a young gentleman of last year’s class, namely her German escort. CATHARINE A. STRAUSBERGER - - R. D. No. 2. Birdsboro, Pa. Catharine Strassburger was born September 27, 1897, at the little secluded village of Amityville, Pa. We do not know just why she chose to come to Keystone Normal, while West Chester held so many charms for her. Every Thursday evening Catherine could be heard in the hail asking. Was the mail around, girls? Otherwise she was a quiet, demure, and studious little maiden. She was a faithful member of the Y. W. C. A. and always ready when called upon. 1 ler constant conversation about her trip to Gettysburg indicates that she thoroughly enjoyed it. and very often she was seen gazing longingly at the photograph which she purchased for reasons all her own. Who ever saw her frown ? No one. I dare say, for Her dancing brown eyes and lovely smile Kept the boys wondering all the while. Catherine formerly made excuses to visit Bovertown, but now since it is the home of her chum. Luella Hoch. she has decided to spend the greater part of the summer there, hoping to intermingle West Chester ideas with Keystone and thus make her more efficient in teaching. Her regular attendance and readiness to respond made her an esteemed member of the Philomathean Literal Society. ANNA S. STINE 90 MARK K. TREXLER.......................Toptox. Pa. This young man hails from one of the high places in Berks county. Topton is credited with the honor of being his birthplace. “Tubby, after receiving his early education in the schools of his native town, decided to further his education by coming to K. S. X. S. Mark started with the class when it was yet in its infancy, and has grown with the class. Surely he well deserves being called one of the “Old Guards. Mark's unusually fine personality, coupled with a most genial disposition, makes him a most desirable associate. As a scholar he is of no mean ability: as an orator he excels. 1 le made good use of his talents in behalf of dear old Philo at its last anniversary. Mark has been a faithful worker in the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion. During the last year Mark has evidently been of the opinion that it is not good for man to be alone, if one may judge from his devotion to a certain young lady who remains Bessie to him. notwithstanding insistence was made by a professor that her name is really Elizabeth. Mark's ambition is to become a tier of knots. and we all wish him success in realizing his ambition. FRANCES A. VOGEL........................Coplay. Pa. Little Latin and less Greek. The face you now see is that of Frances, or Rustic. as she is called bv her many friends. Curious strangers who wonder why this sobriquet is hers are referred to Rustic herself for a detailed reply. Although far from be- ing tall, she has some reputation as the champion wrestler among the girls of her class. She is also noted for being an interesting conversationalist and entertains her com- rades with wonderful yarns whenever she has spent the week-end at home. All these may be true, but we fear she. is simply developing her dramatic gift and exercising her power of exaggeration. She is an expert dancer and she and Betsy often entertain the girls with the latest steps Bustie is very fond of music and is very often heard sing- ing Die Wacht am Rhein. We all wonder why. Next to music, candy is her delight: and she will always remem- ber the night in which the girls ate her box of Lownevs. Her motto is. Never allow your studies to interfere with your pleasures. By nature sociable, she believes in making daily calls on her neighbors. Frances expects to teach a few years, but by present indications those years will be very few. 91 BARBARAM. WALBERT R. D. Xo. i. Macungie. Pa. This young lady was born in Macungic, the date of her birth being unrevealed. After completing the course of study as prescribed by the schools of that place she came to Keystone Normal. She has spent several happy but toilsome years at this place. She is an earnest member of the Philo. Society, and when she was to take part in Society she never failed even though she had to come a long distance. One of Barbara’s chief pleasures is car riding, another is experimenting with mirrors. Very 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. This apparently hard task which seemed to take so much of Barbara’s time, did not affect her health, for she always had rosy cheeks and her weight has not diminshed in the least. With her winsome blue eyes and her talent in public speaking she surely should make a success as an elocutionist. But Barbara says that she expects to spend the near future in the school room and time will tell what will happen later on. Success be yours, Barbara. PAUL F. WANNER......................................R. D. No. 2. Bernville. Pa. We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not on figures on the dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives, who thinks the most. Feels the noblest, acts the best. —Bailey In January, 1894, there was born in Wernersville a little bright-eyed chap. At the age of six, he placed his hand in his father’s and marched away to school. Later he attended business college for a time, but came to Normal in the spring of 1912. Paul’s chief delight is in studying and if he docs in life as now in mathematics, we are sure lie will win an “A for his life work. He was a member of the Normal Orchestra and an active Philomathcan. Paul made no trouble for his teachers, so we hope his pupils will never make any for him. Like his apos- tolic namesake, he is of low stature; he will likely follow in the footsteps of his namesake and rise intellectually and spiritually since lie 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.” 92 ESTHER M. WARR Kutztown. Pa. Some years before the present Euro| ean war a curly- headed VVarr babv was ushered into the world to brighten her parents’ home. Esther believes in making the most of her op| ort uni ties and early acted up to her belief by enter- ing the model school of this place. Amid trials and tribu- lations she struggled upward and now we arc proud to claim her as one of our members. Esther thinks the social part of an individual should be developed as well as the intellectual, and her host of friends can testify that she is a splendid entertainer. At such times she is very fond of serving punch and hickory nut cake. Esther is a faithful member of Keystone Society and often entertains the members of that society with her mu- sical selections, but more often with her merry laughter. She is a born giggler and we can not picture her as a staid and proper “school inarm.” We have heard that Esther has talent in mim-icking the sound of birds, so the best advice that can be given her is to get near to nature, and as a mere suggestion we would mention a Schuylkill county farm as a splendid place for this nature study. .ELMER P. WARTLUFT..................... The birth of Elmer Palm was one of the few important events that brought about a fitting close to the nineteenth century in the town of Womelsdorf. He attended the public schools of his native town, completing his elementary education in the local high school. His progressive spirit said “Go,” and he came to the K. S. X. S., where he en- tered the second year class. In his three years' stay here he has been charmed by several of the opposite sex. but at present his thoughts wander to the girl I left behind me. He was one of the strong supporters of the Philo. Society and in all his undertakings he is an earnest and conscien- tious worker. In the religious activity of the school he takes a deep interest. The last year he has been a cabinet member of the Y. M. C. A. and was one of the seven who attended the Xorthfield Conference, at Xorthfield. Mass. There is a reason for his religious activity for he has con- fided to several that he intends studying for the ministry. Strive onward, ever upward. “lie who seeks shall find. The best wishes of his classmates attend him. 93 ROBERTS WEIDNER R. D. Xo. i. Fleetwood. Pa. Dear Editors:—This is my autobiography. My name is Roberts Weidner, better known among the boys as Bob. I was born at Fleetwood. When I was young I led a stren- uous life and have been doing so ever since. I attended the public schools and graduated from the Fleetwood high school. Then 1 came to K. S. X. S., entering the illustrious 1916 class. After I graduate 1 intend to teach school be- cause I do not want to be selfish with my knowledge. My chief aim in life is to solve the Eternal question, and judging from my popularity with the fair sex. 1 will prob- ably succeed. I am a member of good old Philo., always trying to be loyal to it and my class. I intend to graduate with my class and become prominent, because true genius is sure to be recognized, sooner or later, and you may expect to hear at any time that 1 have become famous. Good- bye. “BOB. CURWEN A. WEISEL............................................Pkrkasik. Pa. Men have been wise in different modes; but they have always laughed the same way.—Dr. Johnson Whose is this smiling face? It belongs to Curwen A. W'eisel, a classmate, who was born near Blooming Glen, Bucks county, one stormy January day in 1895. He de- veloped into an all around handy man on his father’s farm, which he later managed very successfully. He attended the public school near his home, was a graduate of Hilltown high, and in order to satisfy his hunger for knowledge, came to this Xormal School in the fall of 1914. Here he took a lively interest in school affairs. The Y. M. C. A. found him worthy to be sent as a delegate to a state conference at Gettysburg. He found exercise for his musical ability in being a choir member and was an active Philomathcan. 1 Ic was always a diligent and ambitious student, tak- ing no time to bother with the fair sex until near the end of his senior year. I le realized more and more that it was not good for man to Ik- alone and for this reason was quite frequently found on the tennis court or in the library in company with some fair companion. Curwen. we think, is bound to be successful in life. 94 CATHARINE G. WEI SER - Boyf.rtowx. Fa. I his modest, dignified little girl hails from Bovertown. Catharine was the president of our Y. W. C. A., this being an office of “responsibility well filled bv her. She has always been noted for her sweet disposition and readiness to help others. Her one fault is chewing gum. supplying everybody else who cared for it. with gum. If she was not in her room she could be found cither on the tennis courts or in the library watching the sun set. Although she ap- peared to be interested in a paper or magazine, yet we knew her attention was attracted to other quarters. Cath- arine often amused the girls on her hall by giving her famous war dance and yell. Her motto was Early to bed and early to rise. She believes in kindness to animals, especially as shown in feeding the dogs. Bright colors were sacreligious to her. She says she intends to spend her vacation at Molmton. After all. her great ambition in life is to marry an Earl and become a missionary with the aid of the royal family. WILLIAM S. WISE................................R. D. No. 2. Bovkrtowx. Pa. About twenty years ago the town of Stonersville was aroused by the cries of a little boy. This boy was named William by his parents, but he is best known as Billy among his friends. The place of his birth did not long remain his home, for his parents look him to a new home. Fine Forge. There he attended the public schools and finally entered the Amity high school, from which he graduated in 1913. The next problem in his life was the furtherance of his education and lie wisely chose K. S. X. S. Here he was a member of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, a member of Philo., one of its anniversary performers, and a player in the school orchestra. “Bill has had a variety of affinities during his career here, but of late he has become an ardent admirer of two girls with Bible names—Esther and Ruth. If you ask him for his reason he will say. Because they sound so sweet to my ears.5' This enterprising young man desires to enter college after teaching for a few years and intends to specialize in chemistry. We may some day hear of him having made a great discovery in science. 95 ANXA WITT IO Tam aqua. Pa. Anna Wittig was horn in the interesting and thriving city of Tamaqua. When only a little tot she began going to school. She was so ambitious a girl that she could not be satisfied with an elementary education, so she decided to come to Keystone State Normal. She is a good and faithful member of Keystone Society, always filling her place on the program. Her usual occu- pation outside of class periods was chaperoning little Esther to the library. Moth in her classes and among her class- mates she has always displayed the good disposition which cropped out in her childhood. She is a notable illustration of the adage Laugh and the world laughs with you ' Anna has considerable musical ability, especially on the comb. While she with a number of other girls was giving a concert (?) one Sunday afternoon a slight rap ended the performance. Anna has fully decided to become a school teacher, but we do not think this will be her profession very long because she is always anxious for letters and boxes from the mining region. Rather suspicious, isn’t it? ELY A V. WOLFE Treverton. Pa. Elva. one of the quiet little girls of our class, was born at Treverton. Here she attended the common schools, after which she went to high school, graduating in 1914. After her graduation she came to the Keystone State Normal, where she continued her education. She always was very studious but never too industrious to discharge her duties as a member of Keystone Literary Society and of the Young Women’s Christian Association. Elva always greeted her friends with Yes. love,” and expressions she often employed were Land, Folks,” and “Hokey Maria.” Elva never showed any liking for the boys until leap year came around. She then decided to maintain her rights and thought it fitting and proper that a young man should accompany her to the lectures. Elva, like Pestalozzi, failed in her first attempt, because of timidity. Ever since in do- mestic science she prefers to simmer food for man. Elva likes children and expects to make teaching her profession until she becomes the queen of some good man’s heart and home, when she hopes to make use of the domestic science knowledge gained at K. S. X. S. Her host of Nor- mal friends wish her success. 96 MINERVA WORLEY ...............................Mohnton, Pa. Blushes may come and blushes may go. but freckles go on forever. —Anon This is our Minerva! The goddess of war.” Born m tlie cold month of January, but quite contrary from its weather. Minerva, better known by her friends as Worley,” is one of the jolly girls of our class. With her wittiness she was always successful in making the sun shine through the clouds of folks’ loneliness. She began her education in the public schools of Mohn- ton. and after graduating from high school there, came to K. S. N. S. to prepare to be a teacher. Minerva believes that there is a time to work and a time to play. She was a very studious girl, but a good game of tennis, especially during her third year, would surpass everything. No doubt tins is why Minerva never made the mistake of missing classes. During her senior year she must have had more work, for she was ‘‘always in a hurry, but never on time.” This motto she carried out especially well at meal time, chapel, and physics. Minerva will never be forgotten, for she was a faithful member of Philo. Society and one of our anniversary speakers. MAGGIE C. YODER WKRNERSVII.I.K, P. . “Fair is she to behold, this maiden of-----summers. —Longfellow Wernersville, in the beautiful Lebanon Valley, claims to be the birthplace of this brown-eyed little lass. Receiv- ing her early education in the Wernersville public schools, Maggie graduated from the high school of the same place. For further culture she came to join our class in 1914. She is a motherly sort of girl, an expert nurse, as some of us well know. While here at Normal, especially the first year, she manifested a great longing for home and made frequent trips thither. This year her attention was otherwise attracted. A noted musician of the male persua- sion. a member of our class, exerts a manifest fascination for her. This may explain why she is so very fond of music. There is only one character in English history in whom she is especially interested and that is Alfred the Great. She poses as an innocent, scorning to break a rule, nevertheless she attended not a few feasts and was one of a Sunday afternoon quartet. Philo. Society claims her as one of its earnest workers. She expects to teach until a lgiht-haircd. blue-eved young man will ask her to be his private tutor. ALMA M. YOUNG Elver sox. Pa. “There is no art to find the mind’s construction in the face.”—Shakespeare On a sunshiny day in April, some time in the nineties, there was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Young a wee howler who was named Alma May. She received her early education at Geiger’s Mills and graduated from the Birdsboro high school. In the fall of 1914 she entered K. S. N. S., joining the illustrious class of 1916. She is a very studious girl, spending most of her time studying. Her spare moments are spent in teasing and worrying others. To look at her, one would imagine she were goodness personified; to speak with her and see her blush you would think she was afraid of her life to speak to people, but to know her is quite a different matter. She is a member of Philo. Society and a very faithful one. because we nearly always find her substituting for someone else. Alma is a good worker in Y. W. C. A. She is also interested in United Brethren Church services, especially at Elverson. because the services are so ably delivered by an ideal minister. Alma’s ambition is to be a school teacher, but we think she will be a grand success as a minister’s wife. EDWARD C. ZEIINER R. D. No. 3, Tam aqua. Pa. In many ways doth the full heart reveal The presence of the love it would conceal. —Coleridge This silken haired youth was born at Zehner’s Mill, West Penn township, Schuylkill county. While still young his parents moved to Walker township in the same county. Here “Eddie” began his school career in Reynold’s public schools. In 1912 he came to the Keystone State Normal School to increase his educational abilities. “Eddie” played basketball the last three years. He is always a good player whether on the field or on the floor. He is also a good base- ball player and can cover an enormous amount of ground in the outfield. But “Eddie” is not only seen to shine on the field and floor, his manners arc elegant enough for the ball-room. He is a superb ladies’ man. The trouble is he is fickle and changes affinities frequently. In such affairs as love he is an enthusiast of nature, as you can see by his frequent appearance either at Ivy’s or Mabel’s side. “Eddie” is well liked by all. He is a member of the Key- stone Literary Society and of the Strolling Club. 98 tG First Ykar—1912-1913 Sept. 7—Reception Oct. 30—Ben Greet Players—“Comedy of Errors ’ Nov. 15—Dr. Ed. A. Ott.

IN 1915-16 The members of the Young Men’s Christian Association of the Keystone State Normal School can feel, as they look back over the year's work, that the advantages offered its members by the Association are equal to those of similar institutions. The progress of the Association is believed to be as great as that of the best of student associations in the State Normal Schools, even as great as that of very active College Associations. The opportunities for development of a strong Christian character while in school is a matter of supreme importance for the success of each graduate and these have been highly appreciated and utilized as well by most of the 1916 boys. It is believed that each consecrated member of the Association realizes that “The barriers are not erected which shall say to aspiring talent thus far and no further.” It is in such a spirit that, guided by God’s wisdom and love, the members are earnestly striving to accomplish the purpose of the Association. The shaping of a life for Christian service in any profession is materially assisted through the consecrated efforts of the International, State, and Institutional leaders. Can any seriously-minded American student turn a deaf ear to the call to Christian service voiced by the leaders of such an organization, especially when the world is calling, as it does to-day, for the best service which students in a Christian nation may best render ? The Association was represented at four conferences during the last year. The conferences attended by some of the members were : (1) The President’s Conference for the Student Young Men's Christian Associations, held at Pittsburgh April 30 to May 2, 1915, attended by John L. Ilerbster, president of the local association. (2) The Xorthficld Conference, held at Northfield, Massachusetts, June 25 to July 4. 1915, attended by Hiram P. Kistler, Herbert P. Long, Elmer E. Spatz, Alfred D. Stcckel, Elmer P. Wartluft, William S. Wise, and John I,. Hcrbstcr. (3) 1 he Gettysburg Missionary Conference, held at Gettysburg December 3 to 5, 1915, attended by Karl W. Boyer, Harold A. Shoemaker, and Curwen A. Weisel. (4) Tbe Forty-eighth Annual State Conference, held at Reading February 17 to 20. attended by Karl W. Boyer, William D. Carpenter, Hiram P. Kistler, Herbert P. Long. Norman Moyer, W. Clarence Merkel. Elmer E. Spatz, Alfred D. Steckel, Mark K. Trexler, Elmer P. Wartluft, William S. Wise, John L. Herbster, and Prof. Allen E. Bubcck. Each of these conferences has a special message for both the delegates and the Association. Ihe greatest benefit derived front attendance upon them lias been the inspiration gained by the delegates and the seal in Association work 102 Having received a broader vision of the tremendous power of the Young Men's Christian Association, the delegates to those conferences, serving as leaders at home have rendered increased and most crditable service in the local Association. Every delegate has given a report of some particular part of the conference he attended. These reports have been enjoyed by the members and these splendid narrations have been noted for the inspiring and noble thoughts which, through them, have been passed on to the listeners here. As the Association was unable to defray the entire expenses of so many del- egates, it wishes to express its gratitude to the delegates for their willingness to discharge personally the major part of the obligations incurred on each trip. A very interesting and enjoyable bazaar was conducted in the Gymnasium on January 24. The corps of workers who decorated the interior of the building with banners and pennants, and those who designed and constructed the attractive booths, were highly and properly commended. The booths where various arti- cles and refreshments were dispensed were unusually attractive. The whole affair was a testimonial to the aesthetic sentiment prevailing in the school. A fair sum of money for the extension of the work of the Association was realized, and the Association takes this opportunity to thank all who helped to make the affair so enjoyable and so memorable. The Bible Study Classes taught by the cabinet members enjoyed the benefit of a new course. “Student Standards of Action.” The members feel that this work has been of great value to them, especially in enabling them to get a larger vision of the great possibilities open to all who are ready and willing to assume the responsibilities which rest on willing Christian workers. The Senior Bible Class was ably conducted by Prof. Allan F. Bubeck. The course. “Life at its best.” one that the Association was unable to offer previously, was enjoyed by the members of the class. This group study gave the 1916 boys a greater conception of God's purpose in a young man's life. The Mission Study Class, as in previous years, was conducted by Prof. H. W. Sharadin. to whom the members arc most grateful for his excellent talks on missions. The knowledge of missions gained through the instruction of so de- voted a leader as Professor Sharadin must surely prove a valuable asset in any worker's equipment. One of the strongest factors in any Association is a com- petent leader in missions, and this Association is favored in having such a leader. May God bless the efforts of all young men who, going out from this school, find opi ortunities for missionary or any sort of Christian work either at home or beyond the seas. The regular mid-week meetings have been well attended, and the speakers gave interesting discussions of the topics. The topics for the meetings of the Spring Term were based chiefly on service and on life work decisions. The members were privileged during the year in hearing inspiring addresses by some members of the faculty. The musical numbers accompanying each program was an effective addition that was enjoyed by all. Many moral and religious 103 topics were discussed by the members. Without doubt, the truths uttered by the speakers are as seeds sown in fertile ground, that shall grow into plants in the mental garden of each hearer and finally bear much fruit in service to fellow men. The Association elected the following members as officers , for the coming year : President, Wilmer K. Trauger, Revere; Vice-President, Fred.. II. Haas, Jordan: Recording Secretary, Levi D. Gresh, Douglassville; Corresponding Sec- retary. Albert J. Fessler. Cressona; and Treasurer. Walter Krick. Mauch Chunk. These | ersons assumed the duties of their respective offices at the opening of the Spring Term. The members of the Association belonging to the 1916 Class extend their hearty wishes for the best possible success of the Association's prosperity. They hope that their earnest efforts to maintain the high ideals of the Association have not been without success and they trust that they leave the Association more efficient than they found it. In departing we commend to those who remain the suggestion they be mindful of the power of Christian organization and the glory of Christian service, and we advise them always to remember the words of the poet : “God will not seek thy race. Nor will lie ask thy birth ; Alone He will demand of thee What hast thou done on earth. JOHN L. HERBSTER, President Y. M. C. A. 104 THE Y. W. C. A. NEWS Since the last number of the “Vidcttc,” the Young Women's Christian Association has been working to increase its numbers, as well as its efficiency, as an Association working for the good of the girls in this school. The member- ship has now reached the 170 mark, and we heartily appreciate the work of every girl. Our annual bazaar was held in the Gymnasium on November 11, 1915, and it was a success financially as well as socially. The Gymnasium pre- sented a beautiful picture with the decorated booths and the busy girls. On December 4, 5. and 6, a Missionary Convention was held at Gettysburg Seminary, Gettysburg. The delegates representing K. S. N. S. were Luella Hoch, Catherine Strassbcrger, Alma Young, and Mabel Enoch. A Mission Class was started at the beginning of the Fall Term. Twenty- five girls enrolled and the subject studied was South American problems,” by Robert E. Speer. The Class was in charge of Miss Hagenbach, who taught at the Normal School at Mayaqucz, Porto Rico. Working among the natives for a number of years, she has made our lessons most interesting by telling us some of her experiences. On February n and 12 we were paid a visit by our field student secretary, Miss Anna Siesholtz. She had a message for everyone and made us feel how noble it is to be engaged in the work of the Y. W. C. A. This is the Jubilee year of the Association, and February was the Jubilee month. This year, in the month of February, it was 50 years since the first Y. W. C. A. was started in Boston. The Jubilee means a time of rejoicing for the Associations all over the world. It also means a review of the past, a look into the future, and aims at deeper loyalty to Christ and larger membership in His Church. During the month of Jubilee the girls became acquainted with the life and work of Miss Grace Dodge, who was a pioneer in the work. She lived her life for girls and has done more than any other woman for the Y. W. C. A. The special feature of our Jubilee celebration was a pageant, Girls of Yesterday and To-day,” given by the members of the Association. The pageant was a representation of the organization and work of the Association in the past fifty years. Every girl was benefitted by the pageant because it gave her a deeper understanding of the work of the Association. The pageant was under the leadership of Miss Bull, and with her guidance we were able to make it successful. We hope to continue our work earnestly in the future and extend hearty thanks to all who are interested in our work. CATHERINE WEISER, President Y. W. C.

S. proves the present set of tossers to be the best developed and most efficient five ever turned out at this popular institution. That this development was very phe- noniinal is clearly evident, if one takes into consideration that there were only three men left in school, whose experience was an asset to the formation of a successful combination of players at the beginning of the season. W hen the first call for candidates was given, about thirty men answered, and after the weeding-out process had been concluded, and the fittest survived; practice was begun and team play introduced. When 011c secs the schedule faced, the team looms up so much the more as the chief aspirant for full scholastic honors this year. The team met and clearly out-generaled and out-played such formid- able rivals as Bloomsburg Normal. Millcrsville Normal, Moravian College. Al- lentown All-Collegians, Maucli Chunk Y. M. C. A., and Albright College Re- serves. Considering the heavy schedule and the material, which lacked inside knowl- edge and experience, the season was the most successful since Coach Bert Bolder assumed control of athletics at the Normal. Just as a ship without a rudder would move aimlessly and at the mercy of the wind, so an organization without a really capable guiding hand will not achieve its desired end, but much of the suc- cess of the five was the result of the iron hand of Coach Bolder, whose success is a record to be prized by any one. Coach Bolder is well known among all the basketball fans of Eastern Penn- sylvania as the star performer on several of the best semi-professional teams a few years ago. It is his combined personality and directing power that has sent the team on its successful mission, which will not only gain favor and prestige among its opponents but will be recorded as the best record since the. popular coach has taken over athletics here. No organization would be complete without a competent manager, and the Normal boys were exceedingly fortunate in having Prof. Bright . Beck as faculty manager. It was through Prof. Beck’s untiring efforts that such an at- tractive schedule was arranged and all die business matters pertaining to the games were successfully settled. Prof. Beck is a graduate of Buckncll and immediately upon assuming his position was selected as faculty manager, whose other duties compelled him to resign after a very successful term of service. This combination of players has achieved its strength only through the com- bined force of the individual ability, which, latent heretofore, was developed and until the machine-like precision gave no evidence of individual work, but scien- 113 tific team-work supplemented by complete harmony. Of the three men left ovei from the 1914-15 squad the captain was chosen and the team was developed. CAPTAIN ZEHNER Edward Zehner, the star forward, whose home is at Tamaqua and who was the star forward of the 1914-15 aggregation, was chosen captain of the five. As a competent leader only the record of successes need be surveyed to prove it, and as a player, he was second to none. To date Capt. Zehner has not played in any game in which he failed to score from the field, having an average of five goals per game. He is 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighs 148 pounds, and is 18 years of age He is a member of the class of 1916 and was one of the three who gradu- ated at the end of the year. RAYMOND I). LOOSE Raymond D. Loose, the other forward, is the lightest fellow on the floor. This is Loose’s first year of basketball and, considering this fact, he has proven himself a most competent asset to the team. As a scorer he ranks next to Haas, the center. He is quite accurate on distance shots, but stands out more con- spicuously as a floor worker, in which art he excels. He hails from Leesport. is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 139 pounds, and is 17 years of age. He is a member of the third year class and will prove quite an asset in the development of next year’s varsity. FRED. M. HAAS Fred. M . Haas, the center, is the giant of the group. His experience on last year’s varsity made him the star of this season’s five. He ranks next to Zehner in scoring and has not been out jumped in any game in which he has taken part this season. His floor work is of great advantage and his all around ability stamps him as another one of those who will form the nucleus for a formidable five next year. He is a member of the third year class, is 21 years of age, 6 feet 2 inches tall, and weighs 172 pounds. His home is at Jordan, Lehigh county. w. AMOS COSDEN W. Amos Cosdcn, the veteran guard from last season’s varsity, is the team's representative from the southland. His home is at Woodside, Del. His great defensive work and passing ability have been of great aid to the team, and the opposing forwards have found him quite a stumbling block in their work of scoring. He fits in well with the other members and bis loss will be greatly felt, since he graduated in June. He is 20 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches in height, and weighs 147 pounds. CLARENCE E. i! ALLEY Clarence E. Mallcy, the other guard, although new to the game here, had several years of experience on the fast Minersvillc high school team. His fast work as a guard is greatly aided by his strength and consistency. Both he and Cosdcn work well together, being chums off and on the floor. 116 Mallcy will also be left over for next season's varsity, being a member of the third year class. He is 19 years of age. 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighs 146 pounds. HAROLD SHOEMAKER Harold Shoemaker, the substitute, hails from Tamaqua. He has been devel- oped into a splendid secondary player who can be called upon to jump in and fill any gap in the regular line-up with as much credit as though he were a regu- lar. This has been proven on numerous occasions and he is a great aid in an emergency. He will be lost to the team this year through graduation. He is 18 years of age. is 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighs 146 pounds.

But the lack of numbers was more than made up in the quality displayed by our two boys. Many of the well played games were due to the good hitting and fielding of Amos Cosden. the veteran first baseman, and Roy Kuntzclman. the star of the team in heavy hitting and sensational fielding. 117 The entire team deserves much credit for the splendid showing they are making under Coach Holder's watchful eye. The games played thus far have resulted as follows: April 22—Olivets, of Reading, at home—Visitors. 4; K. S. X. S.. 5. April 29—Moravian College, at Bethlehem—Moravian Coll., o; K. S. N.

Although the team was weak- ened by the election of Fenstermaker and Sny.der to membership of the in- firmary squad, their places were speedily filled by able and competent men. The second team was a most important factor in whipping the varsity into fighting sha| e and yet they were defeated by these humble Seniors. Snyder and Kuhns arc a pair of fast forwards. The former's skill in tossing the ball and the latter’s prowess on the lloor and sensational shooting helped con- siderably in making the team's fine record. Bordner, a well built man. could easily outjump his opponent and made a wonderful showing at center. Fenstermaker always played his man to a standstill, and along with the remarkable guarding of Morgan, who always held his man from scoring, con- tributed much toward the team’s success. 120 JOKES Sandwiches in the Seniors’ Messkits.
