L. V. C. The Bizarre ' 08 AN ANNUAL PITBLICATION OF THE JUNIOR CLASS OF LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE FOR THE YEAR 1906-1907 Compiled and Edited by the Bizarre Staff aud Published by the Class of 1908 Volume IX PIOX. E. BENJAMIN BIERMAN, EDUCATOR AND LEGISI.ATOR. WHOSE LONG AND FAITHFUL SERVICES IN THE INTERESTS OF LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE AND THE STATE ARE VERY GRATEFULLY ' REMEMBERED, THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED. 8 The Bizarre HON. E. BENJAMIN BIERMAN HON. E. BENJAMIN BIERMAN was born near Reading, Pennsylvania, December i, 1839. His ancestors were Prussians who emigrated to this country from WestphaHa, Germany, near the close of the eighteenth century. They were prominent in civic, church and educational relations, and on his maternal side — the Bertrams — represent a long line of teachers in this country and in Prussia, the line being easily traced back to the period of the Thirty Years ' War. After enjoying the usual advantages of private schools of his boyhood days, at the age of seventeen he entered the Reading Classical Academy, then under the principalship of the Rev. William A. Good, A.M., where he prepared for the junior class in college, studying the ancient and modern languages including Latin, Greek, French and German, the literature of these languages, also higher mathematics, general history, logic and mental philosophy. In 1864 he was called to the principalship of the Hamburg, Pa., Public High School, which position he successfully filled until March, 1867, when he was chosen to assist in the organi- zation of Lebanon Valley College and became its professor of mathematics and astronomy, and ever since. Dr. Bierman has been deeply interested in the welfare of the institution, and through all the vicissitudes of fortune has nobly stood by her. He has been interested in the various auxiliary projects connected with the school, and is one of the founders of the Philokosmian Literary Society, the oldest of our literary societies. After the retirement of President Kephart in June, 1890, affairs at the Col- lege reached a crisis. Many persons prominent in our church and educational circles warmly advocated the relocation of the College and this movement un- fortunately retarded its progress seriously, and divided its patrons. At this juncture Dr. Bierman was called to the presidency at a special meeting of the Board of Trustees, held July 28, 1890, and after receiving assurances of hearty co-operation from members of the Faculty and m any other interested friends of the College, he decided to accept the position. Rev. Dr. Brane, the then Presi- dent of the Board of Trustees, in a recent address before the Lebanon County Historical Society, says : When Dr. Bierman accepted the presidency of Leba- non Valley College he undertook the management of the school in the midst of a financial crisis the fog of which shut out the sunlight of hope from many loving hearts. After he was elected I was appointed to notify him of the fact, and re- quest him to accept the responsibility. After much deliberation and prayer he reluctantly consented to take charge of the school, and for a period of seven years The Bizarre he bore on his brave heart burdens enough to bury a giant. In my judgment he saved its hfe and placed it in the hne of promotion to its present proud position of growing usefulness. Many desirable improvements were made during President Bierman ' s in- cumbency, among them the purchase and addition of four acres of ground to the campus ; but the most important and by far the largest single contribution yet received was the Mary A. Dodge Fund of $10,000 to aid needy students. This gracious benefaction has made possible the education of many a worthy young man and woman. Dr. Bierman, by his devotion to duty and business tact, suc- cessfully tided the institution across the breakers during the unfortunate reloca- tion agitation and the severe financial depression of 1893-4-5. After his retirement in 1897 he was not connected with the College until he was called back to official relations in June, 1906, when he was elected treasurer of the College by a unanimous vote. In this position he has the confidence of the business public and the student body alike because of his sterlifig integrit y and loyalty to duty. Only once before had he severed his connection with the College, from i88r to 1890, when he was a resident of Philadelphia, where he taught part of the time. Dr. Bierman is the best authority on the history of Lebanon Valley College, being the only man now officially connected with it who assisted in its founding. Working with a singleness of purpose through all these years what Dr. Bierman has done to inspire the work, to broaden the outlook and to extend the scope and influence of the College, is as yet unwritten history. In 1867 Lafayette College conferred on him the degree of Master of Arts, and in 1892 Ursinus College honored him with that of Doctor of Philosophy. From 1878 to 1880 he served as secretary of the National Teachers ' Association, in the Higher Education Department. Dr. Bierman has also had a successful political career. In 1880 he was a delegate to the Republican State Convention, as also in 1905, and in the Garfield campaign he served on the Republican State Central Committee. In 1900 he was, after a hotly contested campaign, elected a member of the General Assem- bly of our State, and in 1902 he was re-elected by a largely increased majority. In both sessions he served on a number of important committees, and even those who differed with him politically attest to his ability as a legislator. Among other bills that he succeeded in having passed are two of no small moment, one permitting county commissioners to appropriate money to aid county historical societies in the prosecution of their work, and the other authorizing the same officers to provide at public expense metal grave markers of our deceased sol- diers, both highly meritorious measures. K preparing this book for publication, the editors have worked long and hard, and in presenting it to the friends and students of Lebanon Val- ley College, we solicit their kindest consider- ation in the judgment of its merits. We ask that you, who may read this book will not criticise too liarshly, for we are not masters in the art of editing, neither do we lay claim to. great originality in the material of which this work is composed. Where we have copied, we have tried to copy the best, and our thanks are due to the editors of annuals and books from which we have received many helpful hints. We desire also to thank those who have aided us in fur- nishing material for this book and who have given us helpful advice and criticism. Ve send out this volume in the hope that its readers will find in it something that is instructive and inuch that is interest- ing, and that it will serve as a link to bind all in closer touch with our Alma Mater.

LEBANON VALLEY COL- LEGE had its beginning May 7, 1866. For many 3 ' ears there had been a growing de- sire for a higher educational insti- tution in the eastern part of our church territorjr. In 1865 the East Pennsylvania Conference in session passed a resolution to establish such a school. A year later the Conference accepted for this purpose the grounds and build- ing of what was then known as the Annville Academy. The Academy had its origin in a private school in Annville. A com- modious building was erected in 1836, and four years later the school was incorporated as an Academy. In 1856 additional land was purchased and the following year a new building was erected. This property was donated to Lebanon Valley College in 1866, and having served for many 3 ' ears as a ladies ' dormitory, is now used as an Academy building. i Iore land was bought and in August of 1867 the corner stone was laid for the building which for many years was the main college building. In this was a chapel, president ' s office, recitation rooms, and men ' s dormitory rooms. A kitchen and dining hall were in the basement. This building was finished in 1868, and the first regular commencement occurred in 1870 when three were graduated. Some years later on College Avenue was erected a two-story frame building which contained the science department, several recitation rooms, the library, art room and museum. This was in use until 1900 when it was removed, because a large wing was added to the main building, making the other no longer necessary. The Engle Conservatory of Music, the gift of Mr. B. F. Engle, a life-long friend of the institution, was finished in 1899. This is a handsome three-story brownstone building, and in it the music department has its home. It also con- tains a large auditorium, art room and the society hall of the Kalozetean Literary i6 The Bizarre ACADEMY BUILDING Society. For a number of years the library and read- ing rooms were located in this building. The College received as the gift of Mr. An- drew Carnegie in i904- ' o5 a beautful library building. On the first floor are the library proper and two handsomely furnished reading rooms. On the second fioor are five sem- inar rooms and a large as- sembly room. The Woman ' s Dormi- tory was erected in 1905. Beside the dormitory rooms it contains the CHonian Literary Society Hall, a dining hall, two large parlors, a well-equipped kitchen and laundry. The Men ' s Dormitory was also completed in this year. It contains single and double rooms and a number of suites. Early in the evening of December 24, 1904, fire broke out in the main build- ing, and swiftly destroyed it. This was a severe loss to the college because there were in this building chem- ical, physical, and biologi- cal laboratories, a museum which contained many val- uable specimens, recitation rooms, the president ' s of- fice, the Philokosmian Lit- erary Society Hall, the stu- dents ' rooms, and the cen- tral heating plant. Scarcely anything was saved. The many friends of the Col- lege came to its aid, and OLD ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, BUILT 1866. ENGLE CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC things were soon put into running order so tliat the opening ■ of the winter term was delayed but a single week. The Science Department was placed in the basement of the library, several rooms in the ladies ' hall, chapel, and practice rooms were at once turned into recitation rooms. Friends in town gave rooms in their homes to the College for dormitory purposes, and regular work was re- sumed without delay. The College has grown steadily from its founding. After the charter had been obtamed in 1867 a faculty was or ganized with Prof. T. R. Vickroy as pres- ident and Prof. E. Benj. Bierman as principal of the Normal Department. A col- lege curriculum and regulations for governing the school were established at once. Dui mg this administration the Philokosmian Literary Society was founded. President Vickroy was followed by Prof. Lucian H. Hammond, who served from 1871-187G.. In 1872 the Clionian Literary Society for the women students was founded. President Hammond resigned in 1876 on account of ill health. Rev. D. D. DeLong succeeded him and acted as president until 1887. In 1877 the Kalozetean Literary Society was founded. In this administration the Musical CARNEGIE LIBRARY I904 Department was organized and a regular course established. The first class was graduated in 1882. Rev. E. S. Lorenz was the fourth president. Enlargement was his motto and he abl} ' fulfilled his position until his health compelled him to resign in 1889. Under his direction the College Forum made its first appear- ance in 18SS. His successor was Rev. Cyrus J. Ivephart who served but a single year. Some discouraging conditions at this time brought np the question of relo- cating the College. Nothing came of it, however, and Dr. Bierman was elected to the presidency. He faithfully filled this position until he was succeeded in 1897 by Dr. Hervin U. Roop, who held the office until January, 1906. The Executive Committee and Faculty managed the affairs of the College until the election of the present incumbent, Rev. A. P. Funkhouser, in March, 1906. After the disastrous fire in 1904, the College received a gift of $50,000 from Mr. Andrew Carnegie. A like amount was secured from friends of the institu- tion and the work of rebuilding was begun immediately. The Administration Building contains recitation rooms and rooms for the Science and Art Departments. GIRLS DOKinTOr;V AND DIXIXG HAI.L BOYS DOKMITORY The Corporation BOARD OF TRUSTEES President A. P.

The Bizarre J7 Class History Four short years have passed since we met as strangers, eager for the new Hfe which lay before us and which had been the center of our day dreams for many days, and we were anxious to have them reaHzed. Today we are building castles in Spain as hopefully as we built those of four years ago. The future alone will reveal when we have laid our last stone whether our work is com- plete or incomplete. Our Freshman year seems but as a dream, and today we look back with envious eyes upon the ones A ' ho are learning for the first time that there are some things which a Freshman dare not do. Of the four years spent at College, the Freshman year is the gayest and happiest, for everything is new and in- teresting. Our color rush, the banquet which secret we guarded so zealously, the cupola fight, the baseball game and our victorious song, Oh me, oh my, oh what have we done, etc., all seem far, far away. Our Sophomore year seems scarcely more real, and it has left in memory a hard-fought color rush, a foot ball game, the hanging of a Freshman dumni} ' , a fake banquet and a poster contest. In our Junior year, we worked the hardest and achieved the most. Our play, The Rivals, ' which was the first class play ever given at L. V. and the Bizarre were successful and well repaid our labors. Again we played the class of ' 06 in base ball, won, and once more we had a banquet. The days of our Senior year are passing all too quickly and when we say farewell to Lebanon Valley, we will not leave all behind, for we will take with us associations and friendships which time can never erase. The hours spent in study and the hours of pleasure have become days ; and the days have lengthened into months, and the months into years, and now the years have become but a part of yesterday. Our worries over exams will all be forgotten, but our joys and pleasures which fill in all the nooks and crannies will ever be held in memory. If we have failed, in all that we sought to achieve, we hope that upon our failure some other class will build success. When we have said farewell to Lebanon Valley for the last time as students, it will all be as a tale that is told, and although it may be years before we will meet as a class again, no matter where we are, may we remain loyal and true to L. V. 38 The Bizarre Class Poem 1907 Comrades, our college days are nigh past, The shadows of evening gather fast — Retrospect ' s dear dream of happy years Mingles feelings of joy, pain, smiles, tears.

Pie is a wee, little fellow, about six feet four inches tall. He proves to be a big expense to himself, even in his Freshman year, for it was then that he knocked his upper story into a chandelier and smashed it all to pieces. He has a peculiar liking for little people, however, especially little girls. As our Junior President and business manager of the Pizarre, he is very successful, and 1908 is proud to own the giant of the school. Often the Toploft is empty in those whom Nature has made many stories hig ' h. Milton Oscar Billow, Shermansdale, Pa. Historical Political. Billow is. the manly man of our class. He came to L. ' . C. an experienced teacher and has been the father and advisor of our class from the beginning. Before he came to college, he went to Shippensburg Normal, and there he met his Sara, by mere acci- dent, and now he is forever blessing the time when he had the mumps. The right honorable gentleman is indebted to his mem- ory for his jests and to his imagination for his facts. The Bizarre 41 Mary Funkhouser. Annville, Pa. Modern Language. Mary is the President ' s daughter and has just joined our class this year. She is a bright, capable girl, and has never been known to flunk class, or say Not prepared today — no, not even in philoso- phy. A ' Ve can predict a bright future for her and she will probably be president of some woman ' s college some day if she continues in her chosen profession.

Last year he received the name of Rags, after Rags Schlichter, to whom he was likened on account of his bark and his curls, for as you can see from his picture, Rags certainly has locks of which Adonis himself might have been jealous. Roy is the best football player of the school and was captain of last year ' s team. He is known all over the State by various girl admirers and has a great time wher- ever he goes, for he always comes back with stories of the sfodd times he has had. A merrier man, Within the limit of becoming mirth, I never spent an hour ' s talk withal. The. Bizarre Rop-er S. B. Hartz, Palmyra, Pa. Roger, the smallest of our boys, comes from Pal- myra and is a typical Pennsylvania-German, and his greatest trouble is to pronounce his V ' s correctly. The girls all pronounce him cute, but it is only lately that he has made his debut among the fair sex. He is little but oh my, and in class contests has shown up all his opponents in fine style. He has class and college spirit to burn and at games his yells are heard above all others. He may be found from morn till night pondering over some mathematical problem of fumigating the Library with hydrogen sulphide. How doth the little busy bee, Improve each shining hour. Neda A. Knaub, Annville, Pa. Classical. Neda ' s forte is her role as. an actress, starring in Shakespearean plays as Nerissa and Rosalind. This year she plays Lady Teazle in ' ' The School for Scandal. She moved to Annville this year in order to be less lonely since she doesn ' t go out walking so often. Neda was well favored by the Easter Rabbit this year and is interested in domestic sci- ence. She has her own copy of Eolen ' s Getting a Living, and she didn ' t get the book new, either — then she has other books from the same source. I have no other but a woman ' s reason I think him so because I think him so. ' The Bizarre 43 Sallie Wenger Kreider, Lebanon, Pa. Classical. Sallie, who is the youngest of our noble girls, is a splendid specimen of the fair lasses of Lebanon county. She comes from the farm and is able to handle horses with excellent skill, especially horses in Greek and Latin. Sallie is our class poet ; she is the shining star among the other poets of the school and is continually charming the young men with her beautiful love ballads. She has a peculiar laugh with which she annoys the Profs, and has never been known to lose her temper. True as the needle to the pole Or as the dial to the sun. Norman L. Linebaugh, Classical. Derry, Pa. Linebaugh is our one married man. He preaches at Derry and seems to be happy in his chosen pro- fession. In all probability his happiness is caused by the fact that he has some one with whom he can share all his joys and sorrows. The only thing that is not in his favor is the heavy pair of shoes he has to wear on his daily trips from Derry to school. A man he was to all the country dear And passing rich with forty pounds a year. 44 The Bizarre S. Burman Lons; ' , Hayes Grove, Pa. Classical. Long comes to us from Hayes Grove, Franklin county, and although much conditioned in his Fresh- man year, by hard work he has caught up with his class. He enjoys arguing with the Profs and ask- ing questions. He was formerly a telegraph opera- tor and in economics he is continually prating on that subject. He is studying for the ministry and all his addresses in prayer meeting and Y. M. C. A. have a true ministerial air. He has the honor of being- the present President of the Y. M. C. A. In love affairs our poor brother has been rather un- fortunate, but he consoles himself with the thought that ' Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. He draweth the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument. Stanley R. Oldham, Annville, Pa. IModern Language. Stan is our all around athlete. Fie gets his athletic spirit from Don Quixote ' s campaign against the windmills. Stan neither plays nor sings but is inter- ested in the music of the spheres — especially the Basket Ball and the Base Ball. He has large ideas and excellent possibilities of attaining all of them except the one at the Ladies ' Flail. Stanley is the editor of the Forum, and his wide reading especially adapts him for this work. Some for renown on scraps of learning dote. And think they grow immortal as they quote. The Bizarre 45 Erma Shupe, Dayton, Ohio. Aloclern Lano ' uasfe. Erma, commonly known as Shnpie, is the only member of our class who is distinguished as a purely Western type. She has a decided preference for the A ' est, either because of her home at Day- ton or Bob at the University of Michigan. Erma is a bright girl and gives her best efforts to the class of ' 08. She is deeply interested in china painting and also in Jack ' s megaphone which is kept in the boys ' dormitory. Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O ' er books consumed the midnight oil? Henry Wilder, Ilingham, Alass. Historical Political. Wilder is a member of the Irish A illage. He hails from Hingham, and has Lebanon as his final destination. He is commonly known as Stubby or Stub for short. He was the football coach last year, and plays basket ball, too. He is also a mem- ber of the Spooners Club (see page 148). Stubby became only recently a member of our class, but he has already done some very good work for ' 08. Too lateT stayed, — Forgive the crime. Unheeded were the hours. 46 The Bizarre Alice JNIartha Zuck, Annville, Pa. Modern Lansjuaare. Alice, better known as Zuckie, is our tallest girl. She is living- in constant fear of finding some joke on her in this book, so we have decided not to say anything about Merle, or how the time lags for her, until commencement week is over at Westfield. She is taking lessons in china painting and she sews from early morn till late at night, whenever she thinks her philosophy has received enough at- tention. Ye sods !

Mary Wolf. The Bizarre 4 Class History of 1908 My c.luty is to write of the past. That word past ! What a glamor it casts over things ; how it softens and beautifies every line and feature of faces and senes we have known ! How in its golden haze even the commonplace is made rare and the familiar becomes colored to the ideal. Who does not like to escape from the everyday world now and then into the dreamland of things gone by ; and who can say we do not derive some benefit from such musing if it arouses us to a keener appreciation of things present. We all like to dream, and so much the better if we have an excuse, and my present one is duty, a duty to write the class hi.story of ' 08 in five hundred words. Five hundred words ! so the decree used to be, with the phrase to be handed in next week, appended to it. And when the next week came, the themes were handed in ! Wonderful tales ; of tots of six years with a revolver in each hand, rescuing a family from burglars ; of desperadoes, who would put Jesse James to shame by their immortal deeds ; of lovers, whom nothing could separate, who were more persistent than even the patients in a co-ed case. Then came Sophomore year, when we knew all historical data and were ready to explain any psychological phenomena. And then Junior year when we considered ourselves capable of settling any public question; when we criti- cised Descartes, admired Spinoza, sided with Rousseau, and accepted Kant with reservations. Thus have we progressed ; from Anabasis to schylus ; from Cicero to Plautus ; from the consideration of the propriety of using me as a predicate pronoun to the mysticism of Wordsworth, the romanticism of Keats ; from the irresistible and irresponsible Prep, in knee breeches to the Junior with low shoes, turned up trousers, and a bull dog pipe. Such is the history of our development, in part only, for all history must be fragmentary. Following Aristotle ' s maxim of the golden mean we have been active in other phases of college life besides class work. In athletics our first victory, and one well earned, was the foot ball game of our Freshman year, which we won from the Sophomores, by the score of 29-0. We also defeated the Sophomores in basket ball in our Freshman year. In our Sophomore year we defeated class of ' 09 in foot ball by the score 9-0. Later we defeated ' 09 in basket ball. This year we played three inter- 8 The Bizarre class games and won them all. From our Freshman year we caii boast of an unbroken string of seven victories in inter-class games. In our Sophomore year a debate was arranged between the Sophomore and Freshman classes, which we won. The challenge for this debate was issued by ' 08 to all the other classes and so it can claim the honor of starting inter-class debating at L. V. C. In the social life of the school we have always striven to do our part. Some few of our members joined the regulars ' in our Freshman year; others were converted in Sophomore year. One member has already enlisted for life service in the royal battalion, and one or two have confided their intentions to others and told them not to tell. One of the most delightful social functions in o8 ' s career was the class sleigh ride to Campbelltown. Pleasant reminiscences of that ride are still ex- changed among our members. Second only to this in our recollections of pleasant times together stands the Sophomore banquet at the Lochiel, Harrisburg, where we had all safely arrived. There is also the memory of a certain fake banquet by which we cruelly duped the class of ' 09. This year has been a happy one of work and play intermingled, and now at its close, with our hands to our lips, we bid our Junior year adieu. (Sig ned) Gibbon. The Bizarre 4Q 1908 Class Poem As Freshmen to Lebanon ' alley we came, That very first year we won our fame ; We showed everybody that ' 08 was brave, And proudly did we our gay colors wave. That grand game of football — basket ball, too, How proudly we waved The Orange and Blue. The next year as Sophs we tried our fate In trying to win the class debate; We came out victorious — we always do — Ad Omnia Parati, our motto true. For all things prepared our whole life through ; Then wave, wave on high The Orange, and Blue. But Juniors we ' re now. Juniors indeed. And in every endeavor are taking the lead ; We ' re true sons and daughters of old L. V. C. Forever to her we will loyal be. And praises we ' ll raise as our deeds we review ' Neath the colors of vict ' ry — The Orange and Blue. May we always live up to our standard of right. And do just our best with all our might, Always trying to find some good to do Not all for ourselves, but for others, too. Then to Nineteen Eight forever be true. Oh, we ' ll never forget The Orange and Blue. 50 The Bizarre 1908 Class Alphabet A is for Appy, our class president, But alas not always on books intent, For as I ' d like to mention It ' s his best intention To spend all his brass On a sweet little lass Of the Sophomore Class.

V is for Voice, we can yell at foot-ball. But for singing in public we ' re nothing at all. W is for wicked, an awful word. None of the Juniors have it ever heard. X and Y are meaningless letters. For all the rest are indeed their betters. Z is for Zuckie, our tallest girl. Her thoughts are not here, but always with Merle. And So Forth, always honest and true, 1908 her best will do.

Vic- tory and defeat alike have increased our loyalty to thp Brown and Blue and to each other, ' ith an honorable record we closed our Freshman accounts and went home to the rest and pleasures of vacation. When we assembled again last September in our first meeting we found that seven of our class members had not returned. During the year we have added two members and lost one. We miss those we have lost very much, but our spirit is unchanged and we entered into our Sophomore year with great en- thusiasm. We showed the Freshmen an interesting time at putting up posters. To bring the Freshmen before the College we introduced their president to the students in chapel. He was presented on the college platform and showed by his bearing how steadfastly he and his class color .were bound together. Our Sophomore banquet at Wernersville was arranged for and held with so great secrecy that we completely avoided suspicion and reached our destination before any one knew we were gone. Because our opponents absolutely and unreasonably ignored the rules of underclass athletic games it was impossible to play the Freshman-Sophomore foot ball game this year, although both teams had practiced hard and the day for playing the game was set. The deep snow of February suggested a sleighing party to the Freshmen. All but two of the class went. Those two were detained (by us) until it was too late to go. In all the activities of the College our class is well represented. In athletics, both in the management and on the teams, we are active. We have varsity foot ball, baskev ball and base ball men. In the Christian Associations and Literary Societies our members are prominent workers. In the Musical Clubs we have a number of men, and in all the social life of the college we are prominent. As we have begun so we will continue to advance that our class may be favorably known and an honor to old L. V.

Without which, we ' d not hive succeeded, But let him low, with shame, bow his head, Who says that now by us they ' re needed. For now we have reached our Sophomore year. Possessors of wealth left untold, Each has wealth of wisdom, of knowledge, of truth. Valued more than silver and gold. Our motto: Semper cupidi ad summum, And our colors of Brown and Blue, We look upon, with a heart full of pride, Proud to them to be loyal and true. Two years of our college days are almost ended. Pleasant ones spent at L. V. C. And whether one thinks of the good we ' ve done. Or only our faults perceive, I pray that each life some good may perform. Each, with a wreath, his brow entwine.

It was not long, however, until we entirely overcame the latter feeling. That we were not as green as we may have looked, we soon proved to everybody and especially to the Sophomores. After we organized as the class of 1910, the first opportunity given us to prove that looks are sometimes deceptive, was in the color rush. What a glorious victory it was for us ! Though our president was assailed by four Sophomores he, like the rest of the Freshmen, escaped with his colors untouched. It was this, our first victory, which made the Juniors proud of their relation to us. A short time after the color rush, one was sure to see the Violet and White numerals wherever one looked. How they were painted everywhere will always be a cause of wonderment to the Sophs, who always suspected some mischief even if they happened to espy a light in the room of a Freshman. Flushed with our former victory and eager to gain others, we challenged the Sophomores to a foot ball game. They accepted the challenge but at the very last moment refused to play. The very fact that the} were granted almost every- thing under the sun and then refused to play, made us think that they feared an overwhelming defeat. Another event which caused great excitement was our sleigh ride. The Sophs were so anxious to go with us that they even crept into the bottom of the sleigh and when returning on foot were very glad to wear the Violet and White as hat bands. We have never been able to decide whether it was our company or the grub which made them so bold as even to think of joining us. Though two of our classmates were unable to accompany us, we had a most de- lightful time. Not only were we victorious as a class but we also did much to add to the honor of Lebanon Valley College. There was no other class so well represented in athletics as ours. As many as three and four members of the Freshman class were on each college team organized in the past year. The year, so eventful for us, and which at first seemed so long, has passed by only too soon. Little change has taken place ; when we lost an old member we always found another to take his place. Though we sorely regret that this year has been so short and that we have but three more years at L. Y_ C. before us, we cannot help but feel that the entire Freshman class has become wiser by experience as well as by the aid of our teachers. With our motto, Ad Semper Perfectum, ever in view, we hope both as individuals and as the class of Nine- teen Hundred and Ten to win the eoal. SS The Bizarre Class Poem 1910 Round by round, oh ! never dying fate, Thou the thread of life unwind For us, who in tliese classic halls await In one sweet soul ourselves to bind. With love bound firmly now in mind and heart. We lads and lasses twenty-two ; In work or play we ' ll ever do our part While school and life we ' re passing through. Our motto: ' ' Semper ad perfectum, reach; And, as o ' er hills and vales we go. May violets, our chosen flowers, teach The love of Him who bids them grow. Though violet and white from the stars do hang. Of great achievements boast we not ; Still too imperfect, in our ears just rang The words of those that us have taught. With pride we look up to these banners deep, Unfurled and floating through the air ; And as they wave the stars about them peep, While angels look on us with care. Strive then, comrades, a golden ray to cast Ea;ch day upon 3 ' our fellow men ; Remember well, each moment idly passed, Adds fruitless spoil to Nineteen Ten. Bear with tis now, our Profs. and schoohnates dear, Although our deeds be few and small ; Yet without us our loved college here Would soon, too soon, begin to fall. And now, kind Fate, prolong the thread of gold. That we as conquerors may stand, And give the world what Bethlehem of old Gave us in the perfect Man. Senior Music Class OFFICERS President Elias Fans.

Therefore we are heartily grateful to the class of 1908 for giving us this opportunity to im- press some of our glory upon the world. Since our Freshman year we have always triumphed, mentally, morally, and physically. Then it was that we stole out one dark night and wiped the Conser- vatory Sophs out of existence. For the rest of our Freshman year we led a very peaceful life because no one dared to molest us. We were often asked, Whatever became of the music class of 1908? Our only answer was, Oblivion. Again we had conquered, but no one knew how. During our Junior year we had the extreme satisfaction of seeing our colors, cherry and white, proudly wave over the cijpola of the Conservatory. They needed no guard, for there was no class left to oppose them. Our banquet that year was a grand success, simply out of sight. Now we have attained to the dignity, slowness, and the angelic smile of the Senior. The hopes of some of our members have already been realized by their being called to take part in an opera. Our career has just commenced in this resolution : We, the Class of 1907 of the Conservatory of Music, Lebanon A alley Col- lege, do hereby solemnly promise to do our best in our own particular places in the world as hurdy-gurdy players, organ grinders, and minstrels.

Is not life worth the while to live. That from all care is free? Why weep and fret our lives away? Keep on the sunny side, If clouds do sometimes overhang, Gloom, we can always hide. Oh, ' tis not wealth nor fame we seek, For that we rise above ; But we do hope, through life to have A host of friends to love. To live a true and noble life. Some care-worn soul to cheer.

The Young- Men ' s Christian Association pla_ s an important part in our land in caring for our young men. In most of our colleges it is the only Chris- tian influence under which the student comes. As he leaves his home and the parental care, the Y. ] I. C. A. opens its doors to receive him and bring him under its influence. By attending its meetings and keeping in close touch with it, the student is constantly reminded of his duty, which he too often forgets when he leaves his home church or influence. The various Bible Study Classes, Mission Study Class and the weekly devotional meetings, conducted by the Y. M. C. A. give the members training for their Christian work in after life and makes them acquainted with the needs and problems of the day. At the same time that it aims to help the students as a body it aims also to help each individual. The members are given various opportunities to extend their future career by attending the different conventions. This includes the trip to Northfield, thus allowing the delegates to come in close touch with the most helpful men of the times and with new ideas presented. The Star Course The Star Course for the year 1900 and 1907 was one of the strongest series of entertainments that was given at Lebanon Valley for some time. The com- mittee was especially anxious to secure pleasing numbers and succeeded even be- yond expectations. The course, which was as usual under the management of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A., was secured from the Redpath Lyceum Bureau, and included some of the strongest men and best talent available. The first attraction of the season was given on the evening of November i, by the Manning Glee Club. It gave a highly entertaining and pleasing program. It was divided into three parts, the first consisted of solos and choruses, the sec- ond was an old time minstrel troupe, and the third a burlesque. The second attraction was a lecture by Dr. Thomas E. Green, on December 8. Dr. Green spoke on The Key to the Twentieth Century. One who has not heard this lecture cannot fully appreciate its wonderful charm and fitness to 20th century life. It was a great success and merited the approbation it received. Mr. Green was followed on January 12 by the Parland Newhall Co. Bell ringing was the great feature of this program. They gave universal satisfaction. Their entertainment was one of the finest ever given here. Mr. Packard, the Cartoonist, was here on January 29, and peopled the stage with types of Uncle Sam ' s folk. While drawing these sketches he told stories about them that ' made the pictures even more real. Mr. Packard is an artist in more ways than one. The last of the series was the Edwin R. Weeks Concert Co., who delighted all with song, impersonation and violin solos. The last number was greatly appre- ciated and closed a very successful season for the Star Course Committee. We give below the names of the committee : Samuel H. Waughtel, Chairman. Roy J. Guyer, Treasurer. Effie E. Shroyer. Helen E. Myers. W. Eby Herr. Erma Shupe. M. O. Billow. Mae Hoerner. J. L.

It was formerly under the management of the Philokosmian Literary Society, but in the year 1901 is was transferred to the College. Its board of editors are elected by the Faculty for one year. The Forum began its career in 1888, and it has been gradually enlarged and extended in scope by each succeeding staff of editors. It is now a very attractive and interesting publication. Some of the best literary writings produced by the students find their way into its columns, and the editors gather interesting news of the doings of students, Faculty and Alumni. Finan- cially the paper has not been a success. The cost of publication per copy has always been more than the subscription price. The Forum suspended publication in January. This halt, however, is only temporary ; publication is expected to con- tinue ne. t )-ear. We earnestly hope for its success. The members of the Staff are as follows : Editor-in-Chief A. W.

Owing to the fact that Prof. Jackson, who so ably directed the club the two previous seasons, was not at college this year, some trouble was experienced in securing a leader. Prof ■ Spessard was finally persuaded to accept the directorship, and his ability as a director is attested by the very excellent concerts given by the Club. A permanent manager was not elected until the first week of December, but taking charge at that late date he succeeded in booking a number of very good en- gagements. Had the manager been elected at the opening of the school year, he would without doubt have been able to Secure twice as many engagements. When the Club was fully organized and in smooth running order, trouble was experienced in securing engagements with our own churches. It seemed that they were not willing to secure the Club for their town and work for its success. Of the eleven concerts given but three were under the auspices of the United Brethren Church. The first engagement was given at Hershey on February 16. The Club was later absent on three trips, which were in each case attended with considerable success.

Holler not returning, Guyer was recognized by all as the best choice for captain. He entered upon his duties with zest and played a fine game all season at left half back. The season may well be called a successful one, con- sidering the disadvantages encountered by Coach Wilder in whipping into shape a team composed for the most part of new material. There were only two of last year ' s team, with which to start the season. The four Freshmen on the team showed exceptional ability and as the team loses only three of its players this year, prospects for next season are especially bright. Basket ball this year was a success for the most part. The team, as in the past two years, labored under the disadvantage of not having an adequate place in which to practice. However, about twenty of the students were willing to report at the Town Hall and two teams were formed and much good material developed. Knauss, this year ' s captain, who played a star game at forward, is the only player whom the team will lose by graduation, and so it can be expected that next year ' s team will better the record of this year. Besides the varsity games, many interesting class games were played. The base ball season of 1906 was not on the whole a success. Plenty of good material was on hand, and the failure to develop a winning team lay in all prob- ability in the fact, that there was lack of team work and too much individual work on the part of certain members of the team. The pitching stafif moreover was not of the strongest. Pauxtis, as captain, worked faithfully and hard to bring out a winning team, and set a splendid example for his team-mates, both at the bat and in his position at catch. The Bizarre Q3 Athletics, 1908 To our motto, Ad Omnia Parati, ' we have been ever faithful ; and have, in- deed, endeavored always to be prepared to do our duty and take our part in maintaining the intellectual, social and religious life of Lebanon Valley College. Not less strong and keen has been our interest and work in the field of athletics. We often look back to our Freshman year with amusement, and secretly confess to ourselves that we appeared in large measure as Freshmen generally appear. This outward appearance soon wore off, however ; and we ably demon- strated our ability to maintain our position upon the map in our first athletic contest. This was surely a red letter day in our history. The members of the Class of 1907 thought, indeed, they could play ball ; but we quickly proved to them their mistake by defeating them with a score of 29-0. How sad and woeful they did look ! Again in basket ball, we proved our superior ability, winning by a score of 17 to 13, while in baseball, our challenge was not accepted. The class of 1907 absolutely refused to meet us, for quite well did they know what the out- come would be. The following year, while we were wearing and flaunting the dignity of Sophomores, their cousins, the class of 1909, fared no better at our hands. To be sure, in our annual football meet, we won by the small margin of 5 to o ; ) ' et in basket ball, we again retrieved ourselves by defeating the class, of 1909 by the score of 23 to 10. The beautiful loving cup, presented by Air. Alills, ' 04, to the victor in the annual football game, is our proudest trophy. Our position of cham- pionship has been well maintained ; and none dare contest our claims to it. Those happy days, when we have thought, planned and struggled together, will never be forgotten. We had ever but one thought — success ; and for it w-e strove with all our energy. And did we win it, did we succeed ? Not on the football field alone, but in the classroom and in interclass debate we reached the goal of our ambition. We considered nothing too tedious, too difficult ; but we worked together as a unit, and never allowed any outside affairs or prejudices to interfere. Indeed all these were cast aside, when 1908 had any object in view, any responsible position, any honor to give away; the only thought of every member was for the interest and welfare of the class. And to the young- ladies of 1908, in particular, the class owes much of its success. They have aided us in our plans : have instilled into us their hopeful enthusiasm ; and have cheered us on to victory. To them is due all the honor which we have won. Q4 Tils ' Bizarre Fair 1908, dear to us all, thy honor is untarnished; thy name without a stain; thou hast suffered no defeat. Extending- the spirit which we have shown in. out interclass contests to col- lege athletics, we have worked and struggled manfully for our Alma Mater. Be- lieving that the man who does not aid his college in as much as it aids him, will be of no practical value either to himself or anyone else ; we came here to re- ceive and to give — to receive of the invaluable training which she offers, and to give our time and energies to the maintaining and upbuilding of its intellectual, social and religious life, and, last btit not ' least, to the maintaining and guarding of her fair name upon the athletic field. The success of our efforts may well be judged from the fact that four of the men of 1908 have won their College letters ( L. ) in football, four in basket ball, and two in baseball. Our Alma ] Iater, though she has oft suffered defeat, we love her none the less, and hopefully look into the future with the ideals in which we have pictured her unshattered. Dear Alma Mater, you may well be proud of your sons and daughters of the Class of 1908; and may justly expect them to devote themselves with the same spirit and enthusiasm, which they have shown upon the athletic field, to the vocation which each shall chose; and may justly demand of them through all future time the same veneration and love which thev bear vou now ! 96 The Bi%arre 1908 Victories EXPLANATION OF CUT ON FOLLOWING PAGE.

Literary The Giant ' s Mountain Hundreds of years ago there lived a great giant in the mountains of north- ern Norway. For ninety-nine years he had lived in peace with all the world; except indeed, with his father, the mighty Utgard-Lokir, who drove him out of the land of the gods because he was not able to compete in a wrestling match with Elli, Old Age. But every hundred years Lokir, the giant, came down the moun- tains with a terrible rumbling noise, and carried away all the flocks of sheep in the valley, so that the people died of hunger. One night the people in the valley were awakened by such a tremendous shaking and rocking of their houses that they were afraid to move. The next morning they found their flocks gone, and the shepherds dead. Far up the mountain they could see the great giant making his way. Fear drove the frantic people to their houses, nor did they again venture out until the next day. They then held a council to adopt some plan of securing themselves against the giant ' s invasions. Some wanted to build high walls around the place, with small en- trances at the head and foot of the valley. Others were determined to go in search of the giant ' s cave. One old man said, Let one man only go. If the giant of the mountains sees that he is alone, he will not think his intentions evil, and the possibility of accomplishing his task will be all the greater. And to this they all agreed. In one of the houses, the one on the edge of the small stream that flows through the valley, lived Kyrmir with his son Ulner. Ulner was only twelve years old. He was a blue-eyed, light-haired, fantastic youth, with dreamy eyes that had a far-away look in them. It was this that had determined his father to make a musician of him, and his music was so charmingly entrancing, that as everyone knows, the king, when he learned of Ulner, sent for him to play at the court. One night when all the valley was hushed in sleep, Ulner played. He played so sweetly, and withal so sadly, that Freya, flying through the sky descended to see the author of such perfect, irresistible music. Then approaching the lad, she saw the sorrowful expression of his face and asked, What makes thee so sad, child? O Goddess, the giant of the mountains has carried off the flocks of sheep, and will come to destroy us, replied Ulner. Then thinking that it was time Drink to me only with thine eyes. — Cclia Oldham. 102 The Bizarre that Lokir ' s visits to the valley should cease, the good Freya deviled a plan of ending his miserable life. Now it happened that the giant Lokir possessed a magnet which he always carried with him. Indeed it was the source of his great power, for with it he drew his mighty strength from the clouds. At night he kept it close by his side, while his snoring was louder than the roaring of the wind on the mountains. To this place Freya sent little Ulner. That is, she clapped her hands and called in the boar with the golden bristles, on whose back he rode to the giant ' s cave, up the steep mountainside. He had ridden all day when, the sun disap- peared from sight, and darkness fell upon the land. But Ulner rode on. At last he came to the entrance of the cave and dismounted. The moon appeared in the clouds, and sent its silver rays down upon the golden boar so that the cave was lighted up enough for Ulner to see. He peered about here and there in the shadows, when suddenly he was terrified by a heavy, rumbling noise, hke the falling of many waters, and right before him, stretched out on the ground lay the giant, the magnet by his side. Quickly Ulner seized it and rushed out of the cave. He had triumphed over the giant, and now the golden boar was carrying him back to his home in the valley. Lokir feeling himself grow weaker and weaker, awoke. He saw that the magnet was gone, and in a furious rage burst out of the cave. With wonderful strides he rushed down the mountain. Now he upturned heavy rocks, and again broke off giant trees in his mad course. Ulner, catching sight of him was dis- mayed. At last the monster was so close upon him that, in the hope of his own safety, he determined to give back the powerful magnet. He waited for Lokir to come nearer to him, and then with all his might he hurled the magnet toward him. He had done a wiser act than he could have imagined, for the magnet, driven with the power from the clouds, struck the giant with such force that he fell over dead. As evidence of the truth of this story, you may see today a very high moun- tain at the exact place where the weapon thrown by LUner struck the ground, for the force of it caused a great upheaval of the earth. On the top of this mound rests an immense head of stone, once the head of Lokir. It is a fitting monument of an evil monster. And LUner ? He was carried off in safety by Freya, and for many years afterward reigned king of the land. La Fin, Par M. Jean. Full daintily after their meat they wrought. — Training Tabic. The Bizarre 103 Charity and Art BY A VICTIM. I took my wife to a violin recital last night, and I nearly — Gad ! it ' s horrible, but I ' ll tell you the whole story. You see, the ladies had an idea that it would be charitable to have a great musician come to this little stuck-in-the-mud city, and show us what true art is. So they got one here, and that unshorn son of Sunny Italy is the gent who made all the trouble. We came to the theatre, my wife and I. I was dressed up in a stiff shirt — one must sacrifice for art, you know — and my wife dressed down in her best evening costume. The program started by a foreign-looking fellow coming in, who walked over to the piano, fingered it gently as tho ' he ' d forgotten something, and then quickly propped up the lid and retired, amid salvos of applause. Folks say he was the manager. Now the real fun began. The door opened, and in walked a man — well, not exactly a man, either — he seemed to be kind of a cross between a dago and his grandmother. His hair was awfully long, and his legs awfully short, and the distance be- tween them at the knees awfully wide. Behind him walked a long kind of thing on props that weren ' t thicker than a horse-whip. This fellow ' s hair looked like the whitewashed side of a barn, and it was nailed down tight to his cranium — so he wouldn ' t lose it. Well, these fellows, after they had wiped themselves with handkerchiefs, and shaken off the dust, began to play, the long thing at the piano and the dago at the violin. The long thing played awhile all by himself, but gradually the dago got warmed up, and every now and then, he ' d join in on the chorus with a few choice notes of his own. Then, all of a sudden, just as tho ' he ' d sat on a tack, the dago up and gave that violin Cain for fair. He rip-sawed it, and buzz-sawed it, till the notes — not the music, mind — flew like the money 3rou give your wife. Finally, he stopped for his breath and to wait for the applause to die down, which it did after a while. Then they tried it again and it was bad, almost too bad to speak about. They started out by playing kind of independent of each other, acting rather like Roosevelt and the Senate. After looking: around like this for a while, the da.go ' Tis pleasant sure to see one ' s name in print. —Duke Siiydci: I04 The Bizarre hit on a tune he seemed to Hke. He played it high, he played it low, played loud, played soft, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. The piano fellow played on for a while, but soon stopped to listen. Then the dago played the tune way high up — sounded sort of creepy and spooky. Near the end he came down with one swoop, making a noise like the wail of a sick baby. When he began this last note, the radiator began to hiss gently. As he progressed, the radiator progi essed until finally the piano fellow lit into his machine to help his chum out, and the piece ended in a grand uproar of screech- ing, hissing, banging, and the appreciative applause of the cultured audience. Honest, it sounded as tho ' a boiler factory was trying to drown out a brass band, or a bankrupt husband trying not to hear his wife ' s request for a new Easter hat. This was only the end of the first half, but, since I received enough culture to last me forever, I left, mighty glad to find I hadn ' t lost anything but the money for the tickets, and my own self-respect. Art may have its pleasures, but I ' m not one of the fancy kind. A Victim. Broke (With apologies to Alfred Tennyson.) Broke, broke, broke.

Ah, well for the rich man ' s son As he takes his best girl to the play; Ah well for the wise old Profs, Who make us grind all day. But those blasted bills come on, And I haven ' t a cent to pay; Oh, hurry, My check from dad That is due on Thanksgiving Day. Broke, broke, broke, Can ' t pay a single fee , But the fun that I had with that first check from dad Will never come back to me. ■ — Max Lehman, ' 07.

The Bizarre I05 Mandy and Ghon A Misunderstanding Chon was very unhappy, for Mandy, his Alandy, as he liked to call her, had walked home from church with Adam Fenstermacher, and poor John ' s heart was almost broken. He talked the matter over with his mother, and she advised him to try and make up with Mandy, still. So, as he and pop had finished all their work and even though it was Monday nig ' ht, he decided to go to Mandy ' s and see why she had so mistreated him. It was a beautiful moonlight night in May and all nature seemed rejoicing in its quiet way, but its beauty did not ap- peal to John. Usually he gazed at the moon and stars, enraptured, but tonight his thoughts were all of Mandy. At last he reached the house and the gate, which brought back so many tender recollections. He knocked at the door and soon Mandy stood before him. V ' y, Chon, you make me afraid, still, vat is the matter that you come tonight? Is your pop onct sick? Xo, Mandy, I came not for to talk about pop ; I came to see you. Von ' t you come in awhile, Chon, said ]Mandy. He silently accepted the invitation and sat down on the big arm-chair. JNIandy remained standing, she was afraid, she knew not why. Mandy, for vy did you not vait on me last night. Have I not alvays yet seen you home safe ? He stopped short — how could he say more when pretty Mandy was standing before him with such a sad look in her sweet blue eyes. Vy, Chon, you — you were talking to — to Mamie, and — and I thought that you did forget, vat you wanted to see me home. It vas time to go already and you didn ' t come, so I — I — went. Now Mandy, Mamie chust said to me vat her pop did say to her, he vould not come to help my pop for to work today yet. Chon, vy let ' s make up ; I felt bad all day. I thought perhaps you — you liked Mamie and me you vould no more want. John ' s heart was again happy; she still cared for him, that was evident. Let ' s go for a walk, Mandy, it is so nice outside. It is a shame, still to keep indoors. Alrite, Chon, I vill go, but vait onct, I must tell Mom. She ran out of the room but came back soon and off they started. Ach, Chon, she whispered, as they went .slowly along the road, I am so glad you are no more mad over me, I — I don ' t like ven you are not pleased with me. A good book, a bright light, and an easy chair. —Stanley Oldham. Io6 The Bizarre ' ell, Mandy, never again vill I think bad of yon. I vas not-cross, bnt only it vas a hurt to me ven you didn ' t vait on me. How beautiful the night was ! Everything was peaceful and quiet. John saw beauty in everything, even the old tumble-down fence seemed the very pic- ture of beauty to him. Mandy looked at the quiet country scene. Veil, isn ' t it too nice for anything, Chon? she said. Yes, you have right, Mandy, but his eyes saw no quiet country scene, only Mandy. Pop says that if it vill not give rain, ve vill not have no potatoes and it sure!) ' vill not yet, for there is no ring around the moon, is there, Chon ? No, Mandy, I can see none, but I believe ve vill have enough of taters for to live, because ve always have yet, since I know anything. Pop vants to go to Harrisburg termorrer and I guess I must be going home now, said John, for they were now back again at the gate of Mandy ' s home. Now, Mandy, next Sunday night you vill not run off for me, now vill you ? No, Chon, never no more, came the low answer, I vill alvays vait. Gute nite, Chon. Gute nite, landy.

The Bizarre loy A Child Story The conversation between the bright faced young girl at the table and the dull little girl sitting on the chair was going rather slowly. So you ' ve never heard of fairies, said the girl at the table. No, m ' am, was the child ' s reply. Elves, sprites, nymphs, haven ' t you heard about any of them? Has your teacher never read to you stories about them? No, m ' am. Grace sighed softly to herself for it was hard to talk to a small person whose vocabulary consisted only of no, m ' am and yes, m ' am, and who uttered those words in a tone which plainly said that she did not desire to carry on the conversation. Grace was puzzled for she did not wish to hurt the child, but her work in the kitchen was done and the child made no move to go. Grace finally broke the silence. Don ' t } ' ou think perhaps yoiu ' mamma wants you? ' ' No, m ' am. I did all ni}- work before I came, but I guess I ' d better go. She hurried out of the door, giving a side glance at the dolls grouped in a corner of the porch. A wild desire to seize one of them and give it a hug pos- sessed her, but she did not dare because Grace was standing at the window. The child walked slowly down the street, wishing all the tim.e that she had asked the cjuestion which had choked her all the time she had been in the house. If only she had had the courage to ask to play with dolls just a minute. A little sigh escaped her lips for it had been hard for her to answer Grace ' s questions when there was a question which she longed to ask but which she could not make up her mind to utter. It was difficult for her to luiderstand why some children h ad so many dolls and whj she had had only one. She could have counted on the fingers of one hand the times she had played with a doll. Many a time when her mother was away, she had taken a cushion, tied an apron around it for a dress and left one corner stick out for a head. It was an awkward, stumpy baby, but it was something to love and talk to. As soon as the time came for her mother ' s return, the baby became once more a cushion and an apron, for she dreaded hearing her mother say, Hester, you big baby, haven ' t you anything better to do? Hester felt only the shame and the apparent sarcasm, she never felt the May he give us a few brilliant flashes of silence. — Moyer. I08 The Bizarre pity that was back of it. Many times her mother sighed to herself. Fourteen years old, and she has never had a doll. Again Hester went over to the house where the dolls dwelt, resolved to ask the question which was uppermost in her mind and again she came away with her question unasked. The conversation was just like the first one, every question was answered bv yes, m ' am or no, m ' am, and then a long silence followed which the child dreaded because it made it so much harder for her to ask her question. It was nearing Christmas time and the dollies were no longer seen out of doors, still the child had not had the courage to ask her question. She was always eager to go on her mother ' s errands, always hoping that there might be an opportunity to ask the question, but the opportunity never came. With Christmas in the air and Christmas in the heart, it was not hard to find a mutual subject of conversation. And so you ' ve all written your letters to Santa? was Grace ' s laughing question, one day. Yes, m ' am, Ruthie and May have, but I ' m too old for that. What would you like most of all? A doll. A doll ! Grace echoed astonished. It was a strange request for such an old- fashioned little woman to make. Yes, m ' am. I ' ve only had one and that one Ruthie broke the first day I had it. Have you never played with dolls at all? ' ' No, m ' am. This time the no, m ' am was pathetic. Hester went home with a light heart that day, for although the question hadn ' t been asked, yet the trouble had been told and mavbe soon her wish would be fulfilled, for surely Grace couldn ' t forget a child who had owned only one doll. Hester, in spite of all her hoping, could scarcely realize on Christmas morn- ing that the dainty baby doll, with its yellow curls and dear little cap, was hers — ■ hers alone to hug and kiss. In the afternoon Baby Laura and her mother came to see what Santa Claus had brought. Baby Laura was three years old, and there had been no money or kind friends to play Santa Claus. Doesn ' t she have anything, not even a little bit of a doll? Hester asked. None but himself can be his parallel. The Bizarre lOQ The mother shook her head sadly. It was too sad to talk about, for it was hard to keep the Christmas spirit in the heart when there were no presents to give or to receive. Hester ' s face, which had been so full of girlish pleasure, became thoughful, but the Christmas spirit which dwelt there, made it almost beautiful. Grabbing her doll as if it was a thing to be despised, she put it into Baby Laura ' s out- stretched arms. It ' s for you. baby. I ' m too old for dolls, and Ruthie will let me play with hers if I want to, won ' t you, Ruthie? and then she whispered to herself, I held it and I loved it, and that ' s what I ' ve wanted to do for so long. I hugged it for three whole hours. Helen E. Myers.

The Bizarre II3 Address by Prof. Span ler Delivered to the Students, December 5th, 1906 Ladies and Gentlemen : The faculty have thought it wise that different ones of the members should from time to time deliver addresses from the rostrum. This morning it is my turn and I have chosen for my subject, The (K) Nights. I will begin by telling a story from The Arabian Nights. A young man in com- pany with a young lady were traveling in a railroad car. The train passed through a tunnel, and upon coming to light again the young lady said, Why did you kiss me? The man said, 1 didn ' t kiss you. The fact is, the other fellow had taken liberties. Now some fellows around here have taken liberties. There are about three fellows who have a monopoly on the spooning trade, and are fur- thermore monopolizing the halls and practice rooms of this building and are even getting excused from classes to promote this said monopoly. Be it there- fore known that this monopoly is hereby dissolved, having been ' found guilty of acting in restraint of trade, and be it further known that these men must now, immediately if not sooner, step back and give the other fellows a chance, and be it known finally that if the said monopoly fail to comply, they will be ordered to appear before the Interstate Spooning Commission and receive permission to take a ride on the cars.

Social and Theatrical RECEPTInx llAIJ., I.A|ili;S 1)1 il;M IT( IKY. Social Life at Lebanon Valley College Socially the stiidents of Lebanon A ' alley are well favored. In the general conduct of the student body there is little restraint and, except in extreme cases, no coercion. In social privileges the students are placed largely on their honor, and faith in this honor has seldom been misplaced. Many of the important social customs have already appeared or will appear under other headings, but scattered through each year is the silken chain of friend- ship that intertwines in our memory days and hours of more than passing in- terest. Surrounding Annville are spots of rare beauty, and these are made for- ever memorable by visits of the boys and girls. These retreats have in many cases become historic ground, and some who read this book may remember con- quests that have taken place beside the wandering Ouittapahilla or tmder the protecting shadow of the old Hill Church. Thanksgiving diimer and Thanks- giving Day is a gala event that relieves the hard study of the winter term. A isits to the boys ' and the girls ' rooms are special privileges of that day. Precedent has crystallized into custom, and around such customs as these the social life of the College has sprung. On Sunday afternoon students deem it their special right to visit the cemetery, or some other beautiful or secluded spot, generally in groups of two or four, or six at most, and there discuss the weather, birds, flowers and exams. Sometimes these pairs of two and two continue long after commencement and long after school days are over — but that belongs to another book which is not yet written. However we believe that this present freedom from restraint and the placing of students on their honor will bring about better results than coercion could pos- sibly do. The students have already appeared willing to share a part of the A sweet attractive kind of grace. -Miss Lozm-cv. burden of government. The Senior and Junior Classes liave elected a council which is composed of three members from each of these two classes. This coun- cil has submitted rules which have been adopted; The sentiment for student government is rising. If it is found that the students themselves can and will cope with the problems that confront it we would praise the movement, if not, a stronger body must remain at the helm of student government. Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Beceptions A long established and very pleasant custom at Lebanon Valley is that of the Christian Associations in giving, at the beginning of each term, a reception to the new students. These meetings fully accomplish their purpose to usher the new-comers into the swing of college life and to reunite the old students in an evening of pleasant enjoyment. At the different receptions formality was done away with, games were played and other forms of amusement entered upon, and every one who was present upon one of the occasions remembers it as one of the most enjoyable evenings spent during the college year.

Each person rep- resented by dress or action or by some mark, the name of a book. This feature of the program was interesting, but the games and good time that followed were none the less so. Glee Club Receptions The girls at the Hall also give a reception to the members of the Glee Club on the evening they render their program in the Conservatory. This year the re- ception was held on ' March 27. These receptions arc always enfoyed by all who attend them. SCENE AT GLEE CI.UB RECEPTION.

The Bizarre 12 Banquet, Class of 1908 About four weeks before the winter term of 1906 closed, we Sophomores were planning with the utmost secrecy for our banquet. It was to be either Har- risburg or Reading and finally we decided on Harrisburg. The first Friday of the spring term was the time we deemed best, for no one would suspect us then. It would take a great deal to arouse the suspicions of ' 09 after the grand fake we had played on them. The week before the banquet was one of secret anxiety and excitement. Suppose we should be discovered? Suppose they already knew about it? It was impossible to study under the circumstances. Our suit cases were all conveyed under the friendly cover of night, to Zuckie ' s place of habita- tion, two days before the banquet. About three o ' clock, while all the world was asleep, two of our ' 08 laddies took the suit cases down to the station. At 7 o ' clock in the evening our girls stealthily sneaked out to the station, es- corted by our Senior cousins and our loyal Music Student. We were almost at the station when our loyal Music Student friend came from the station to meet us, telling us that the Sophs were there, expecting something and were ready for an attack. INIy, but we were frightened ! But it took us only a second to recover and think of how easy the Freshies were, and we ran down an alley, with our one ' 08 man with us, and waited at the milk station for the 7.15 train. At last the train came and it had barely stopped until we were on it. What rejoicing there was when we found all our men there, at least we thought so. But no — where was Long? What could have happened to him. We finally concluded that the Freshmen had succeeded in capturing him. When the train stopped at Derry, who came into the car, with his usual grin, but our lost Long. He had seen the Sophs and, not being able to get on the train he was obliged to climb on the engine. The engineer had ordered him ofif, but no, Long wouldn ' t get ofif and so he had to take him along. Talk about the various experiences each of us had ! The conductor, too, told us several times to keep quiet, but it was an utter impossibility to stop talking We had to tell each other what various things had happened to us. App, Roger and Rags, in baseball suits, had gone through Lebanon at a rapid rate and got to the depot just a minute too late for the flyer. Stanley, thinking the Freshmen His study was bent little on the Bible. —Wilder. 126 The Bizarre knew all about the banquet, went home from the baseball grounds, topk his bundle of clothes and ran through alleys, across fields, all the way up to Palmyra, where he boarded the 7.15 train. Billow ran along the Ouittapahilla until he got to Cleona and flagged the train there. What a good time we had at the banquet proper ! Everybody was in the gayest of spirits and the toasts just fitted in with the occasion. It was certainly a banquet fit for the gods and we did full justice to it. After our feast we had a grand time in the Lochiel parlors. We talked and sang, and I am afraid we also danced. ' e adjourned at an early hour — in the morning, and, as a class, had one of the most delightful times we have ever had. MENU BLUE POINTS ON HALF SHELL OLIVES GHERKINS CONSOJIME, PRINCESS PL.

The Bizarre I2g Lectures The students during the past year had the privilege of Hstening to a number of interesting lectures. Three were given by Prof. Shenk in behalf of the Athletic Association, one by Professor Lehman, the proceeds of which went to the library fund, and one by Prof. F. H. Green, of West Chester, in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. Northfield fund. Professor Shenk ' s three lectures were rightly styled Short Cuts in History. The first, English History in Cartoons, was given December 15, 1906, and pre- sented a short but concise story of English history as preserved in the Bayeux Tapestry. The second, Amenities of American Political Campaigns, was given January 19, in which lecture the growth and power of the cartoon was pointed out. The third, Caricatures of the Days of Washington, given on February 21, showed the censure and criticism to which Washington was exposed during his administration. Professor Lehman gave his Lecture on the Moon in the chapel on the evening of March 14. His talk was supplemented by a number of fine stereopti- con views. The audience was delighted to get such an interesting ac count of the earth ' s nearest satellite. Professor Lehman explained the man in the moon and the woman in the mon theory in a very pleasing manner. Shf was a phantom of delight. — Sal He Krc ider.

The Bizarre 1 35 Miss Fearless and Company In order to raise money with which to pay the debt on their Society Hall furniture the girls of the Clioniari Literary Society decided to present a play. O n the evening of February i8, they accordingly presented to the public the farce Miss Fearless and Co., in the Conservatory of Music. This is a bright, clever comedy in three acts, dealing with college life. It was planned and managed en- tirely by the girls and was a decided success. Although the play showed many amateur touches, the various characters were particularly well brought out and the audience gave evidence of its appreciation and approval. On the evening of March i6 the girls again presented the play in the hall at Hershey, where it met with success as before. The girls feel that much credit for the successful conclusion of their enterprise is due to Professor H. H. Har- bour, from whom they received much valuable assistance.

A number of the members of the caste have credit- ably performed parts in other plays and so were well qualilied to put forth their best efforts in this, and so make it one of the best ever given at Lebanon Valley. The play selected by the Juniors was Sheridan ' s well known society play, The School for Scandal. The caste is as follows : C. ST OF CHARACTERS Sir Peter Teazle Roy J. Guyer.

THE SCRIMMAGE It seems very obvious to all of us that students entering upon the cmbryotic stage of college life need some one to teach them college rules and manners, and since a large part of the student body of this enstitution comes from the jungle, it makes it double necessary for the higher classmen to discipline the greenies, early often, and sometimes severely before the raw recruits are able to under- stand that for the first time, they are noxv off their ozvn dunghill. When the mossbacks first arrive, it seems almost a Christian duty to give them an immer- sion in oil of gladness, but since the college does not provide an immersatory, this kind act is usually done from some third-.story window, while the rustic youth stands along the side of the dormitory, wondering, who keeps the cattle from the grain, since he left home. Sometimes these wandering Israelites seri- ously object to the code of college rules, and, then happens, what is known as a scrimmage, in which exercise the pumpkin-liuskers imagine, that they are pitch- ing hay or shocking corn and unless great precaution is taken these farmers walk off with a sophy under each arm, and as they go make a strange noise, that re- semble the sound of one of their pet animals at home in the jungle. This undignified scene usually takes place in the conservatory, much to the disgust of the higher classmen and dignified faculty, and it must be admitted that the athletic field would be a more appropriate place, here results would at- tained and object lessons could be latight. It would also save the trouble for both of the class to run to the printer and have posters printed containing nothing but silly imaginations, for one of the most piteous spectacles is the attempt of a greeny trying to write something original.

To both we answer that we have tried hard to roast all. Some parts of this book are serious and show our school life in its serious mo- ments ; other parts are more or less funny.
