1ADU i. XAA Published Annually by the Junior Class of Lebanon Valley College Volume X. 31 . oS To the President of Lebanon Valley College, REV. LAWRENCE KEISTER, D.D., equally beloved because of his eminence of scholarship and for his delightful Christian character this Bizarre is dedicated by the Class of 1909. %tS l Biography EV. LAWRENCE KEISTER, D.D., was born near Scottdale, Pa., the youngest child of a large family. His father was Solomon Keister, the impress of whose fine personality and beautiful Christ- ian character is seen in all of his children. He was a spiritual father, to many others who came in contact with him; and many young men have been helped by his sweet spirit, kindly admonition and generous material help. His large benefactions knew no partiality in the work of his chosen church. The son had the good fortune to be brought up on the farm ; and he shared all the benefits that are incident to such open air life. His early training was secured in a country school, which he attended until he com- pleted all that this school offered. This was supplemented by reading and private study, the value of which he early learned. In the fall of 1877 he entered Otterbein University, and graduated in the class of ' 82. The following autumn he entered the School of Theology of Boston University, from which he graduated, with second honors, in the spring of 18S5. He also studied philosophy under Prof. Borden P. Brown at this University. He has been honored ' with the following degrees: B.S., Otterbein; A.B. and A.M , Leander Clark; S.T.B., Boston University; D.D. Lebanon Valley. During the years spent in Boston Dr. Keister made the acquaintance of, and came into fellowship with, Bishop Phillips Brooks, whose great preach- ing, and heart-to-heart, fatherly converse, in the Bishop ' s own study, have exercised a profound influence in his life. He spent two years and eight months on the Pacific Coast, where he visited the principal cities and engaged in fruit growing for over two years. But such could not be his life ' s work, for his talents demanded other em- ployment; and in obedience to a voice, not his own, he returned to the East and took up the work of the pastorate in Allegheny Conference Here he served several of the most important stations, Wilkinsburg, Scottdale and Mt. Pleasant. From the last named he was elected to the presidency of Lebanon Valley in June 1907. He has published lectures in Homiletics ; the Christian ' s Calendar, a vest pocket companion containing selections from the Bible and the writings of men, together with notes of interpretation by the author. It is designed to give daily spiritual furnishing for the Christian; also a small volume en- titled, Parables for the People. It is written for him whose citizenship is in the kingdom of heaven, and is a guide to him in all that is vital in his conduct as a Christian citizen. It presents Christ as the life of the Christian and as his ideal in conduct. It proves to be most helpful to him who strives to be perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect. The presidency of Lebanon Valley College at this time is a great oppor- tunity. It is such because of conditions that have root in the past. But it is, as well, a great responsibility. Its duties are tiresome and burdensome, and no small man can measure up to them. And yet a man — the man- — has been found. Too big to use any position he has ever held for his per- sonal advancement, and modest and generous to a fault, he at last finds himself where at the call of duty, he shows himself capable of working out the solution of an untoward situation. The recently equipped laboratories, the new walks and other improve- ments, the peace and quiet of a very successful year, a contended and loyal student body, an enlightened and more interested constituency and large plans for the future that meet with favor from all who hear of them, and more beside, all attest the wisdom of the choice of the Board of Trustees in June 1907. Foreword t EST we forget the pleasantries of youth and college days, and to crystallize the unconscious word and deed, which otherwise would be lost to us in the future, we have pre- pared this Bizarre as the contribution of the class of 1909 to the writen history of student life at Lebanon Valley. We send our book to our readers without apology as the result of our best effort to make an annual worthy of our class and our college. We make no qlaim of entire originality, but cordially acknow- ledge and thank editors of other classes and colleges for valuable hints and advice. If our friends are pleased and college spirit intensified we shall be amply rewarded for our work. The Editors. BIZARRE STAFF Editor-in-Chief D. E. WEIDLER Assistant Editors G. M. RICHTER EDNA D.

Otoitegr .MUSIC HALL History of the College REVIOUS to the year 1865 there was, in intelligent circles of the United Brethren Church considerable discussion on the need of a higher educational institution in eastern territory. Hence in res- ponse to the very general and growing desire, frequently expressed by both the laity and the ministry, the East Pennsylvania Annual Confer- ence at its session in March, 1865, held at Lebanon, passed resolutions deciding to establish such an institution of learning in some conveniently located town within the limits of the Pennsylvania Conference. One year later, namely March 1866, the Conference accepted for this purpose the grounds and building of what was then known as the Annville Academy. LADIKS IioKMIToKY At the Annual Conference session held at Annville March 1867, the Board of Trustees was given full power to purchase additional ground and to erect thereon an addition building. This building as planned, included a large refectory with kitchen and other culinary attachments on the ground floor, a large chapel, a president ' s office, reception room and four recitation rooms on the first floor; recitation and dormitory rooms on the second floor, and dormitory rooms on the third floor. This building was completed in 1868, and the first regular commencement exercises occurred in the chapel of this building on the sixteenth day of June, 1870, on which occasion two gentlemen and one lady were graduated. Very early the practice in public oratory and debate was recognized on all sides. With a full recognition of these facts the young men of the College were not slow to secure an organi- zation to accomplish these ends. Early in April, soon after the opening of the spring term of 1S67, a constitution and by-laws for a society were drafted. The name Philokosmian was suggested by President Vickroy, then the President of the College. The Philokosmian thus ranks as the first regularly organized literary society of the College. BOYS DORMITORY President Vickroy wisely directed the affairs of the institution for five years. He was a man of fine presence, a genial companion, a first class financier and a successful administrator of the affairs of the College. In 1S71 Prof. Lucian Hammond was elected president of the College. During his administration the Clionian Literary Society was founded. This society consisted entirely of girls and soon became a vigorous and efficient force in promoting the principles and practice of public reading and speaking. In the summer of 1876 new life was infused into the College by the election of Rev David DeLong as president. During the winter of 1S77 a movement was started to organize another literary society for young men. The name Kalozetean Literary Society was suggested and accepted. Also during Pres. DeLong ' s administration the musical department was organized and a regular course established. The organization of this department was a wise movement as is evidenced at this day, and its excellent work at once popularized the institution. In the summer of 1883 a large two-story frame building was erected on -12— College Avenue, which contained a fine and well lighted art room, several music rooms for practice, the entire department of natural scieoce, and the College library. In the fall of 1887 Rev. Edmund S. Lorenz was elected President. During his administration a course for advanced post graduate work was prepared and adopted by the Board of Trustees. To him also belongs the credit of establishing a College paper known as The College Forum. In the spring of 1S89 Rev. Cyrus J. Kephart, D.D., was elected Presi- dent. He served but a single year. Because of some discouraging condi- tions at this time the question of re-locating the College was seriously considered but nothing came of it. Dr. E. Benjamin Bierman was elected to the Presidency. He had been connected with the College since its founding and his administration shows an interest and faithfulness which did much toward building up the College. During this time the college celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary and showed marked improvement. Dr. Bierman was succeeded in 1897 by Dr. Hervin U. Roop, who held the office until January, 1906. During this term the entire college changed its appearance. In 1900 a large wing was added to the main building. The Engle Conservatory of Music, the gift of Mr. B. F. Engle, a life-long friend of the institution, was furnished in 1899. In 1904 — ' 05 the College received a gift from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, a beautiful library building. The foundation for a new Ladies ' Dormitory ' was being laid when early in the evening of December 24, 1904, fire broke out in the main building and quickly destroyed it. This was a terrible blow to the college but through the untiring efforts of the President and others the winter term was delayed only a week. By the next school year the new ladies ' dormi- tory was occupied and a few months later the men went into their new dormitory. A new administration build ing was also under roof by the close of the year 1905. From January to March, 1906 the Executive Committee and faculty managed the affairs of the College when Rev. A. P. Funkhouser was elected President holding the position but one year. On June 12, 1907 Dr. Law- rence W. Keister assumed the duties of President. In September of this year the Administration Building was occupied giving much pleasure with its pleasant recitation rooms and well equipped labratories. It also contains the President ' s and Treasurer ' s offices, the Philokosmian Literary Society Hall and a large art room. Corporation Representatives from the Pennsylvania Conference. ' ' Rev.

' I ' IF2 ft i i B 5jfl gf s$r History UST when I ain ' t got time and when I ' ve got too much work I must write this history. But it is not hard, for 1908 has been a unique aggregation since its Freshman year. We were told then by a speaker in chapel that we might be lawyers, doctors, college presi- dents or hod carriers. And so we may; we have not decided yet. There were a score of us then and we spent most of our time making history. In 19 — , when we return leading some ' 08 Juniors by the hand, first of all we will take them to the athletic field, and pointing to the gridiron, we will say right there in 1904 occurred one of the biggest surprise parties that ever took place at Lebanon Valley College. We had challenged 1907 to a foot- ball game. They accepted. We prepared for that game as if we were go- ing to play Yale ; the Sophomores prepared for it as if they were going to play Annville High School. The score was 29-0, in our favor. Besides the football game we defeated ' 07 in basket ball. In Junior year we won three inter-class games. From Freshman year we have an un- broken string of seven victories. In Sophomore year we won the inter-class debate from ' 09. In Junior year we published an annual of which we are all proud. We will always remember the sleigh ride to Campbellstown in our Freshman year, the fake banquet in our Sophomore year, and the real one at the Lochiel in Harrisburg. These have been some of our material achievements, but we have also advanced mentally and spiritually and this, also, is a part of our history. One of the things we have learned beyond the chance of forgetting is the value of the ideal. We have learned that the charm and greatness of life lie in the grandeur of its possibilities. Every new stnd ' y has taught us this. We have learned to require of a man only that he live for the ideal. He may have failings, he may oppose lis, we may understand him but if he is a constant seeker of the ideal we give to him B+ in the school of life, where no one makes an A. This we hope we have learned, as also the great lesson of charity. In the class of social spirit, of class spirit and of individ- ual competition we have come to believe that there is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us that it does not behoove any of us to be talking about the rest of us. Last of all we have, we hope, formed a loyal college spirit. We do not picture our Alma Mater as a groupe of buildings, a faculty, a curriculum and a student body, but as a spiritual something representing all that is best and finest in all these. To this Alma Mater may we always be true and though we mav soon be forgotten may we never forget. —36— 1908 POEM. Our college days will soon be o ' er, Fond mem ' ries soon they ' ll be, But ever in our hearts we ' ll hold Our love for L. V. C. Ad Omnia Parati has Our motto ever been, Prepared for all things in our life And all our battles win. When on the world ' s vast sea afar, Our thoughts shall turn to thee, Thou who hast been our guiding star, Thou dear old L. V. C. Amid the trials of daily task, Amid the toil and din and strife, Will come, with never failing cheer, The thoughts of college life. O Alma Mater, ever true To thy dear name we ' ll be ; We ' ll do our work with earnest zeal, In honor of L. V. O college, thou to us most dear, To thee we ' ll faithful be ; And in our future life ' s career, Revere old L. V. C. And always will we do our best, Inspired by thy light, We ' ll stand for loyalty and truth, For charity and right. —37— 7 imo-m CLASS OFFICERS President Walter V. Spessard.

Myersville, Md. Adam , business manager of the Bizarre, who alphabetically at least, stands at the head of his class, claims Myersville, Md., as his birth- place and undoubtedly, sometime in the coming years, the claim will be reciprocated. This gentleman says he worked on a farm, which statement we are inclined to doubt, altho his actions bear ample testimony that he at least resided there. It is a source of undying regret that he professedly prefers the society of Hershey and Lebanon to that of our own institution. After graduation, if such a thing is possible, he will with judicious moderation pursue a course in medicine. Lena May Hoerner, C.L.S. Mechanicsburg, Pa. Lena May Hoerner was born in the country and lived there until six years ago, when she moved to Mechanics- burg, her present home. May is the smallest girl in the class but the most rapid walker. She belongs to the Students Volunteer Band and has very many qualities which fit her for her chosen caieer. Her greatest fault is her quick temper, but we believe that she will have conquered that before she becomes a Stray-er and wanders from her own land into the foreign country to teach the poor heathen how thev should live. George Nissley Hoffer, K.L.S. Hummelstown, Pa. This young man first beamed upon the world at Hummelstown. George is a mathematical genius. He builds au- tomobiles, repairs Prof. Roeder ' s bi- cycle and studies chemistry. Between laboratory periods he visits some of the class rooms and hears the recitations. We regret very much to record that his entire social career has been one vast case of sour grapes. Georgie is one of the most popular fellows in the institution and in spite of the afore- said case of sour grapes he belongs to the triumvirate of social dictators. When his work at school is done he will retire at last to Hummelstown, build a garage and devote his talents to the invention of a patent convey- ance to transport his native village to some habitable portion of the earth. Grace B. Lowery, CL.S. Harrisburg, Pa. Miss Lowery comes to us from the Harrisburg High School, class of ' 06. Soon after reaching L,. V. C. and hav- ing tried the Freshman class, she de- cided that she could take the work here in three years, so entered the class of ' 09. She shows a decided in- clination to be much alone to study, think and dream She has a few pet hobbies , such as, English and Ger- man and delights in arguing about personality and all its interesting phases. Her father hopes she will follow a literary career and we hope she will not disappoint him for she has much ability and can do splendid work once she is fully determined to do it. Amos B. Moyer, P.L.S. Sunbury, Pa. Mr. Amos B. Moyer was born at Chapman. He requested that this fact be carefully recorded so that if any of his family read this book they will know that even now, when he is a Junior in college, he is not ashamed to acknowlege his birthplace. After budding the young ideas of that region for about fifteen years he was persuaded to come to Lebanon Valley to instruct the faculty of this institu- tion. l ' Aby possesses a remarkable propensity for absurd interrogation. The minimum number of questions which he has propounded in one reci- tation is nineteen. After graduation A.B. will proceed directly to a seat on the supreme bench. George M. Richter, K.L.S. Halifax, Pa. This reverend gentleman was born at Halifax. He literally hurls himself into any proposition which chances to attract his attention in a way cal- culated to put an indolent minded person into the psychopathic ward. This may to a certain extent atone for his eagerness to assist or rather to sug- gest, otherwise we might be tempted to class him under the vulgar head of a Butter In. Mr. Richter is a rare addition to the class because of the fact that he is never mistaken. Time and time again the Professors would have gone far wrong but for this precious mind. After graduation he will attend a theological seminary until sufficient- ly cargoed for sky piloting. —41- Walter V. Spessard, P.L.S. Chewsville, Md. Mr. Spessard woke up one fine morning and said I will see to it that this world is run on strictly business principles, whereupon Mr. Spessard ' s body started to catch up to his matur- ed mind. Mr. Spessard hails from a family with which it is as natural to sing as it is for a mule to bray. This may, to a certain degree, account for Mr. Spes- sard ' s social standing for Walter is, as it were, a lion at the Ladies ' Hall and always starring among the ladies. After the completion of his course Mr. Spessard may be induced to accept the Presidency of one of the larger univer- sities or else a seat in the U. S. Senate. J. Warren Stehman, K.L.S. Mountville, Pa. Jonas ws.s born near Mountville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the land flowing with tobacco and politicians. Stehman believes in innate ideas and innate abilities for he says he remembers very distinctly that when he landed he had firmly gripped in his right hand a suit case Containing his batting average, but somewhere thru his journey he has lost it. His pet theory is that man in all his actions follows the line of least resistance. So earnestly has he upheld this doctrine by word and deed that he was several years ago honored with the degree L.L. (Lazy Lew.) He will become a political boss of Lancaster County. Deleth Eber Weidler, P.L.S. Allentown, Pa. Deleth Eber Weidler was born at Highspire, Pa. He is a very nice young man, in fact he ' s awfully nice ; he doesn ' t do a single naught} - thing. He is very popular too and is a mem- ber of the Triumvirate of Social Directors. He possesses the happy faculty of knowing how to stand in with all the girls without indulging any of them. He takes part in every enterprise about the college and is continually complaining because there are not more competent men around the institution so that he wouldn ' t have to do everything. Weidler is the editor-in-chief of this book and its reception will go a great way toward shaping his destiny. Edna Delilah Yeatts, CL.S. York, Pa. Edna Delilah Yeatts, commonly known as Peanuts, is a rare product from York County. She is small, as her nickname would suggest, but her womanly qualities are capable of satis- fying the most aesthetic desires of any of her opposite sex. Edna, it is sad to relate is very fond of sleep, but she says she can ' t help it. We all, I am sure, are very anxious to see Miss Edna get along in the world, but to our deepest chagrin we sometimes are unable to tell in which direction she is ' Ap ' t to go. However, with all our uncertainty, we can com- fortably say that she has lofty ideals and cares mostly for the big things in life. —43— FORMER MEMBERS OF ' 09 S. F. Pauxtis L. M. Fisher C. W.

But not because they do not linger tenderly in our memories and stand out prominently as mementoes, never to be forgotten. We do not wish to impress upon you too forcibly, however, that little word ego , but desire rather to give you a fair picture and leave you to judge of us for yourself. There were twenty-six of us in the Freshman year and probably we were a little green, but wise enough, however, to paint our numerals on the smoke stack where nothing but time could efface them. The Sophomore year was a very successful one in its literary pursuits. We won the Fresh- man-Sophomore debate which brought great credit to the class. Our success for that year was not exclusively along literary lines, how- ever, for Bobbie, the president of the Freshman class was adorned gorgeous- ly in green one morning, and laid upon the platform during chapel exercises, to the great surprise and chagrin of his class-mates. We enjoyed also that year a very delightful banquet at Wernersville. We rode away one Thursday afternoon, leaving the poor Freshies gazing in our direction with eager, longing eyes, and returned Friday noon with colors flying. While gazing at this picture, we would have you remember that there were a few failures interspersed among our successes, but they only gave us more ambition to strive harder to reach the goal. They also taught us the lesson that we must learn before entering upon our life ' s careeer ; that true success only comes with struggle and hard work. In leaving you, we would paint a bright picture for each member of the class of 1909. We realize that each one has his peculiar talents and ambitions, and we believe that he will hew out for himself a path through the rock of harsh criticism, strife, and competition, along his own special line, thus developing his talents to their fullest extent, and accomplishing for his race just what God meant that he should accomplish. 1909 Poem Dear 1909, ' tis thee we hail In songs of earnest praise, Dear 1909, for thee we ' ve worked In past and present days. For thee we lived, for thee we strove, Thy name we raised to stars above, To thee we give our fondest love, Dear 1909. Brave 1909, with numbers few You ' ve fought a noble fight. Brave 1909, with purpose true You ' ve battled for the right. Your duties just ne ' er left undone, Your battles fought, your victories won, E ' en though thy life is but begun Brave 1909. Brave Brown and Blue, three years thou ' st waved Above this loyal band, Brave Brown and Blue, beneath thy folds We ' ve labored hand in hand What e ' re the future has in store, Thy motto shall we ere adore And ever love thee more and more, Brave Brown and Blue. Dear L. V. C, Thee we would sing Before this song is through, Dear L. V. C, whate ' er we are, We owe it all to you.

What pleasant times and glorious victories lume up before us as we hurridly glance back over them. And it is recall- ing these delightful memories which shall constitute our history. Were I, as historian of the class of 1910, to attempt to mention only the most im- portant and most delightful of these I should not know which to choose. Therefore, I shall try to give a brief but just review of our Freshman and Sophomore years at Lebanon Valley. Freshman year our victories greatly outnumbered our defeats as might have been expected. Our very first victory was the color rush. Such a victory was never seen at Lebanon Valley ; every Freshman escaped with his colors untouched. There were also the foot-ball, basket-ball and base- ball games, the former of which the Sophomores, because of some secret fear, refused to play ; all these are indeed to our honor. The Freshman- Sophomore debate, to our regret but by no means to our discredit, was won by the Sophomores. Nor must the sleighing party to Schaefferstow n be omitted; for so great was the delight and excitement of escaping the Sophs that that is the first thing we think of when the ride is mentioned. Our Sophomomore year was just as, if not more, successful though we were no longer in a state of greenness. As in the preceding year the game of foot-ball was not played owing to some inability or other on the part of the Freshmen, giving us the victory. The bag rush, controlled by the Junior and Senior Coucil, was our first defeat. As usual the Freshmen won by hard fighting, for the victory, if such it may be called, was by a small three inches. Although we prevented the Freshmen from gaining other victories ; we were kind enough to see that each one had a private escort consisting of several policemen, whose duty was to see that they arrived safely at their banquet. One m ore thing must be added before our history is complete, that is our banquet at the Lochiel, Harrisburg. The Freshmen were so bewildered that day that they sought us just where we were not. That banquet with its innumerable courses shall ever be remembered as the most delightful time of our life at Lebanon Valley and that isn ' t saying much either. Thus far our life at L. V. C. has been one grand success. As we were able to overcome our greenness and to rid ourselves of the so-called Soph characteristics, if indeed we ever had any, we know that we shall live up to all the possibilities of our Junior year. 1910 Poem Of what achievements boasts our glorious class, On her true zeal let Future judgment pass : Ambitious youths with hearts and souls afire, No failures daunt them and no labors tire : In lithe-limbed boys, and maidens fair, our pride, Unwavering zeal strikes every foe aside. No joy to us doth wanton pleasure yield, Stern duty calls — all hasten to the field. Behold our victories already won, A glorious past, the future but begun. Beguiling pleasure spreads her charms in vain, To arduous tasks we bend ' till none remain. From heights of fame our standards proudly wave, To reach our goal hard battles still we ' ll brave. Will Father Time for us no crowns prepare, No laurels give for aged heads to wear? Will life be fraught with happiness and joy, Or will our eagerness those boons destroy ? Our friends ' esteem and children ' s love will mould For us a wreath more fair than crown of gold. And daily tasks well done will bring reward Wherein the fruits of peace and joy are stored. Our names we ' ll write : to us the world will turn To find a tiuth, or noble lesson learn. OFFICERS President Elmer E. Yake Vice ' President ' Mabel S. Herr Secretary . Carrie M.

A Junior called us together in the old Academy building, and soon we had a yell and a motto. We gave our yell for the first time at the student ' s reception, and distributed printed copies of it to all present. It was on the night of the reception that our splendid career really be- gan. The Sophomores, dumbfounded at seeing some Freshmen accompany co-eds home, instantly plagiarized an old State poster and pasted samples of it in a few prominent places in town, and over the college buildings. But we quietly removed the posters, except those on the college buildings, which the Sophomores themselves humbly removed, and the next morning in chapel we distributed cards on which were printed our sincere regrets that the Sophomores lacked sufficient gray matter to compose an original poster. One night we very unexpectedly met the Sophomores, who were schem- ing for ■our humiliation. We succeeded in dividing their party and after a severe fight on the campus, were declared victors. Next we met the Sophomores in the bag-rush. When the two classes lined up on the gridiron, they seemed very evenly matched. However, when after fifteen minutes fighting the signal was fired to cease, the class of Nineteen Hundred aud Eleven was again victorious. Soon followed our banquet at the Wallace House, Lebanon, December 3, 1907. The banquet was a grand success. Only two of our members were unable to attend, one of them being sick. One thing more which will amuse us in the years to come : the Sophomores gallantly escorted a few of us to the hotel. We did our best to return the compliment by entertaining one of their members on the night of their banquet. Ad Astra per Aspera has been continually before us and we have determined to idealize its meaning. We realize that we have not yet reach- ed the stars, but by the help of our instructors, believe that an instrument has been made in the form of the class of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven that will measure the distance in spite of all obstacles. —54— s % ffirife ramm fe i H tr n fc ; 1911 Poem With loyal hearts and active minds, In the fall of Nineteen Seven, We came to thee, dear L. V. C, The Class of Nineteen Eleven. A hearty welcome th ou didst give, Of course there was a reason ; Thou knewest well who came to dwell, The Class of Nineteen Eleven. Thy President has wisely said, Quite early in the season ; These buds, as such, they promise much, The Class of Nineteen Eleven. Time and deeds all go to prove His words were fitly chosen ; Loyal to be, striving are we, The Class of Nineteen Eleven. The Sophomores with ease can tell, As it to them was proven ; A pistol shot, we were on top,. The Class of Nineteen Eleven. As one by one the days go by, The bonds of friendship strengthen ; No evil scar shall ever mar The Class of Nineteen Eleven. Since every loyal heart and hand, In love we thus have given ; We ' ll stand by thee, dear L. V. C, The Class of Nineteen Eleven. Then let us rally, one and all, Our paths through life to brighten ; And to the stars, through all that bars The Class of Nineteen Eleven.

' Tis said that history repeats itself. This may be disproved, for there is not the slightest possibility of the history of the Music Class of nineteen hundred and eight ever being duplicated; not that its members have achieved everything which they have striven for, but that they have accom- plished marvelous things. One beautiful day in the autumn of nineteen hundred and seven there assembled in the classic halls of our Conservatory of Music, a band of young maidens and a few bashful youths. And thereafter it was known that the Conservatory of Lebanon Valley College would graduate in nineteen hundred and eight the largest class in its history. The advent of the class into the life of the college was quiet and unpretentious, yet its influence was felt and acknowledged in every avenue of activity. One morning, soon afterwards, we all came to chapel wearing our colors — garnet and green. Then you should have heard the class of nineteen hundred and nine lament the fact that they could not share the honor with us. They tried hard to take our ribbons from us, but they found that they were up against a stiff proposition and now feel so extremely small and ridiculous that they haven ' t said a word since. The wearers of the garnet and green are always among the first. Not only are we called upon to contribute a large share to the enjoyment of the public, but we are very popular in the Social Life of the college, also Our Class banquet was, without a doubt, the greatest event of the college year. We simply cannot find words to describe it. And none, save the class, will ever know the secret of that, the greatest of all events. Only a few more days are left to us. Then we ' ll say farewell to our Alma Mater, perhaps forever, each to go his own way and take up his own burden, applying the knowledge gained while at college and never forget- ting our classmates nor Lebanon Valley College. Music 1908 Poem Music can kindle where it will, The fire that in the heart resides. Music healeth every ill, In mystery its soul abides ; And tasks in hours of insight will ' d, Can be through hours of gloom fulfilled, With aching hand and weary head, We practice then some mournful tune; Its melody to us seems dead And harmony is wrapped in gloom. But suddenly there comes a light, Than which none else could be more bright, O music, thou to whom the power Is given to stir the hearts of men, Help us in these most treasured. hours To nobly strive some good to win. May richest melody instill In us love for His Holy will O music-band of nineteen eight, Always find some good to do ; And going out to cruel fate. Be to your Alma Mater true ; With all thy will her will to do Remember what she ' s been to you. -60— Students of Conservatory ot Music O. — Organ Hi. — History Altenderfer, Mrs. W., O.

By attending its meetings the student is constantly reminded of his duty to God and his fellow men. Bible study and Mission study classes together with the weekly devotional meetings give the members opportunity for Christian work and make them acquainted with the needs and problems of the day. The aim of the Association is to help each student to develop body, mind and spirit. Various opportunities are given to members to extend their knowledge of the work by attending the different conventions and conferences of the Association. During the past year two delegates at- tended the Students ' Conference at Northfield, two attended the National Convention which was held at Washington, D. C, two represented the As- sociation at the District Convention in York, Pa., and one at the Connells- ville State Convention. In this way the most active men in the Association come to know the most helpful men of the times and the most up-to-date methods of Christian work. Glionian Literary Society Presidents Vice-Pres .

Realizing the great need of the game here, the athletic committee of the Athletic Association took steps to revive the sport and President Stehman appointed George M. Richter ' 09 as manager- As yet very little has been accomplished. An effort is being made to build some good courts on the campus, along White Oak St. A tournament was arranged with Franklin and Marshall for May 20, and during com- mencement week an inter-class tournament was held for the College Championship. It is the hope of the manager to have the courts in good condition for a fall tournament. Track One of the most important branches of college athletics, namely track, has been sadly overlooked at Lebanon Valley College, due largely to the fact that we never had a track. The opportunities for the students to enter athletics is limited within entirely too narrow bounds in an institution where only football, baseball and basketball prevail. Many students who can not win places on any of the above nameo teams are barred from athletics entirely, because the branch in which they excell is not practiced here. This is manifestly unfair to the student body. Taking cognizance of these facts, the Athletic Association appointed J. Lester Appenzellar, ' 08, track manager. A temporary track has been measured off and while Lebanon Valley will not be represented in any inter-collegiate meets this year, it bids fair to develop a strong team from the excellent material at hand, in prepa- ration for next year when we hope to see her participate in some inter- collegiate meets. Peculiar Its peculiar how a fellow often tries to write in rhyme, And tries with might and main to keep the rhythm and the time, These poor imitation poets you can find in every clime, Peculiar, isn ' t it, now ? A fellow often likes to think he ' s of a different kind From everybody else, or has a very brilliant mind, While to his faults and imitations a fellow ' s always blind ; Peculiar, isn ' t it, now? He thinks he ' s a composer and great songs some day he ' ll write, Or maybe he ' s a poet writing verse and jingles bright, Perhaps thinks himself an actor, on the stage a shining light, Peculiar, isn ' t it, now? And all the time he ' s just a common, ordinary lad Without a single idea that every one ' s not had; But if you ' d ever hint at this he ' d laugh and call you cad, Peculiar, isn ' t it, now ? In closing this small ditty this. prediction I ' ll surmise, Each one who reads this poem think how truly it applies To someone else, nor thinks that fault in him as truly lies. Peculiar, isn ' t it, now ? The Science of Boding Boxing is an art about which very little is understood around this joint which is very natural when we consider that this is an institution of learn- ing. For the benefit of the ignorant I will try to explain a few of the most simple points of boxing. Persons interested in this subject will find the definition of boxing in Webster ' s dictionary, page 532 or in the World ' s Encyclopedia, page 4000. For practical demontration all are invited to call at Room 23. Mens ' Dormitory ; ladies, however, must be accompanied by a chaperon Boxing can be divided into several classes, namely, ear-boxing, pugilism, sparring and boxing chickens. There is also something very closely allied to boxing which is called by the members of the Death League the oil of gladness. However this is too painful for me to dwell upon here. Any- one who wishes this phase of boxing more fully defined can get full inform- ation by applying to the Death League. A knowlege of this art of defence is very useful, especially for the men during leap year when they have so much to defend themselves against. But boxing is also very dangerous sometimes because when someone thinks he can box and tries it with someone who can box he generally gets it in the neck, or rather, in the jaw. I do not wish my pupils to attempt any- thing as yet. Most boxers use a punching bag to practice on but I would advise the greenies to use a pillow so that there would be less chance of being hit back. Also I wish to warn you against using your sisters and little brothers for punching bags, as they may not appreciate it. The little brothers generally tell the ' ' old man and the sisters pull your hair and scratch your face, which, while it makes things interesting, is not at all pleasant. However, other peoples ' little boys are safe, except when they hav big brothers. There is a woeful lack of sporting spirit around this institution. In a hand to hand encounter with the odds in your opponent ' s favor, it is best to strike first and run for as Joseph Jefferson says, He who strikes and runs away will live to strike another day. Just as a great poet once said — but I forgot the poet ' s name and what he said, but anyhow it was a fine thing. The are many terms about boxing which many people do not under- stand, such as handing out five. The five does not have reference to dollars but to five fingers which are handed out in a lump. But this you will appreciate better by experiencing it than by having it told you. There are also the right and left uppercuts, which are very hard to explain. But suffice it to say that upon receiving them the victim generally grunts and sits down. He then realizes what Prof. Spangler said in chapel one day. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. There is also the knockout blow. Now Prof. Roeder says there is no rest for the wicked, but the person who receives this, whether he be good or whether he be evil, will be sure to rest for sometime. For full information buy my little book called Ever-hopeful Home Study Boxing Course. Charlie Plummer A PARODY Ich weiss nicht wass soil es bedeuten, Das ich so hungrig bin.

A Freshman Tragedy Being a pathetic tale of a II T estern Co-ed school. There came to school one September day A Freshman green as uncut hay. His hair was long, his face was wild, His type of beauty must go unstyled. And would you believe it ! He thought himself gay ! October brought its scrub glee club trials ; The Fresh proved the best by miles and miles, And so into lead he was promptly put. He tested a voice by its owner ' s foot, And thus sorted the crowd amid happy smiles. November appeared with its chill bleak wind: The scrub glee club leader made up his mind When a love-letter came full of honeyed word, Making him sing like a happy bird, The sweet lass who wrote this I ' ll mighty soon find. ' So he hied himself at the close of day To the Ladies ' Hall not far away. He entered the hall with mighty step, As if he had pacticed by hep! hep! hep! And sent up his card with much display. The young lady came down in trembling haste, The scrub glee club leader his words did not waste: My dear young lady, most charming belle, My burning love to you I ' ll tell And implore a kiss from your lips so chaste. They ' re happy now and live quite swell ; But is it not strange the fate that befell A fine young man at a co-ed school And the girl who made of him a fool ? But it has ended happily, and we wish them well. Ls ass _ Ti ooms ' B g % Q J ! ; • 1 lij i wi r r Brr v_ •■■■ .t... Leap Year Song Look this way dear ladies, Take your choice to-night Of all these lads before yon, Bashful, full of fright. Some are long and lanky, Others short and fat ; Some are old and cranky, Few will fight or spat. Most have indigestion, Come from life alone ; It would make you weep aloud Just to hear them groan. Here there is no money, Rheumatiz to spare ; And all are kind and gentle, Just like a Teddy Bear. Chorus. For Leap year once again has come, The hint we give is clear. We love you each and each beseech Save us from bachelor fear. Just look at this fine crowd of lads, Come try your choice to take ; Come in to win — one fat or thin, And prove leap year ' s no fake. Complexions Cosmetique, Hair of drug store hue ; ' Twont make any difference, Any girl will do. Just so she can cook well — Knows just how to sew; Can smile once in a while, Has no other beau. We hate to sweep our own rooms, We hate to darn our socks ; Being only single, We get a pile of knocks. No more bachelor waiting, Each will find a wife; Settle down on poor old dad, Happy now for life. Arranged for Glee Club. The Proposal My dear darling, I write this letter That your future may be better, By giving me your heart and hand And joining me in wedlock land. I ' ve chosen you from all the rest, And merely make this one request: For you alone I do admire, And to be Mrs. is my desire. I am willing to consent To anything you may wish, I ' ll make the fire, darn your socks, Polish your shoes and make my frocks. In other words I ' ll make a wife Such as you seldom find through life, For I am blessed with a skill and nature rare, Of beauty I have a little share. Now, dearest, should you my offer decline, Then I ' ll impose a leap year fine, Which entitles me to a handsome dress Made of silk — I ' ll wear nothing less, So now you must choose either way And send me back without delay You answer, say yes or nay. Yours Lovingly, Miss Conservatory of Music, Room 5. LEAP YEAR GIRL The Reply An Owl sat high on a sycamore tree On a night in the dark of the moon, And sang of love in a shrill, high key To her sweetheart, a fat young coon. I love thee well, O brave young love, O marry me now, I say; We ' ll live in your snug nest right above, O marry me, please, I pray. Mr. Coon replied in tones of delight O truly, Owl, do you really love me ? Then call again on to-morrow night And see what your future will be. The owl flew away to her lonely nest, Mr. Coon smoothed his silky curls And thought: I want to do for me what ' s best, But Owls are deceivers like girls. A doctoress Owl gets not much pay, A preacheress Owl gets much less ; A musicianess Owl has all outlay, So they ' re all alike, I guess. A chump was I, (now I have confessed) But I know much better now ; Owls are schemers like all the rest, BachUor for mine, if fates allow. Leap Year Poem There is a leap year custom that perhaps you recollect, But I ' ll mention it in passing, just the same, That permits each rosy maid to send a due bill marked collect To each fellow whom she wished would change her name. This peculiar ancient custom, starting back in olden times So the ancient bards and minstrels used to sing, Would permit the dusky maiden living off in southern climes, To offer hand and heart to prince or king. III. For not even Lord or Ruler, so it often has been said, Would dare to scorn the lowest peasant maid ; But to each and every maiden, if he did not care to wed, To her five hundred pounds must needs be paid. And this peculiar custom has descended down to us, And who to mock a custom shall incline, That permits the dried up spinster to secure a husband, plus A fairy in your home in course of time. But alas — -the poor old bach, who dwells in single blessedness, This custom brings on many a line of care Across his aging temples, many a night of restlessness, Is the cause of many a bald head losing hair. For when leap year comes the maidens never sit and weep and pine, They have got enough of gumption, pluck and nerve. To be sure there ' s something doing in the matrimonial line, Never from that noble purpose do they swerve. VII. So beware ye grumpy bachelors; you had best make up your mind If you want to live your foolish single life, You had best get out your check books, for on tho ' t your sure to find, Its celibacy and money ' gainst a wife. BAG RUSH —114— Ladies 9 Day i. O, I am a college sport, sir, and I tell you on the level, That I spend my money on the girls, and sport to beat the — band ; My father thinks I ' ve got a set of brains like Socrates, But I don ' t give a rap for that, I do just as I please. O, our college is a co-ed school with ladies tall and slim, With a disposition, form and face to suit my every whim. I tell you, you ' d be jealous, sir, if you my rep. would know ; The girls all say that I ' m O. K. — you see I ' ve got the dough. CHORUS. So ev ' ry day is ladies day for me, I ' m quite at their disposal all the while : But my pleasure it is double if they come to me in trouble, For I always find a way to make them smile, the little darlings. I ' ve no doubt I should have married long ago, ' Tis the proper thing to do, you ' ll all agree, But I never could find any fun in wasting all my time on one, So every day is ladies ' day for me. II. But of course my life has drawbacks, too; what life is there has not, For the profs, are always on my trail, and on it good and hot. The faculty oft ' calls on me, my heart with terror chills, Howe ' er they ' ve never fired me yet — I always pay my bills, So I regularly spend my time up in a practice room, And when the door is shut and locked we spoon and spoon and spoon. I never wear my welcome out, no matter how I stay, The reason is I always choose a new girl every day. Arranged for Glee Club by M. F. Lehman, ' ' oj. Alma Mater TUNE : CHAPEL STEPS. Lebanon Valley stands to us In days of early youth A faithful guide in learnings path — A beacon light of truth. As a faithful mother she points the way And leads each trusting soul To paths of honor, strength and love, Which end in duty ' s goal. Bright memories will e ' er remain Of happy college days, Of dearest college friends and chums, Of youthful hopes and fears. The years will come, the years will go, We oft will wander far ; Our thoughts will e ' er turn baqk to her As to our guiding star. Here ' s to our Alma Mater boys, Home of our student days ; Here ' s to the place we .love so well, A song to her of praise. Here ' s hoping her way be ever bright, Her children ever true ; Her teachings be ever just and right, Hurrah for the white and blue. A. K.

On Sunday evenings, some of our young gentlemen call upon the young ladies at the Ladies ' Hall, and, following all the rules of college etiquette woo them graciously ' neath the spreading palms while the lights burn low. The number of these young men is small but select — Oh ! how select ! — the nicest and most handsome young men of the institution. Their vocations are varied. Several are preachers in embryo. Others would come under the general category of professional crooks, sports, race-track gamblers and face flushers. A sorry lot ! Yet, spick and span, they go regularly to call at the Ladies ' Hall each Sunday eve and woo the gentle sex, who reign supreme — or think they do — at L. V. C. Out of respect for your feelings I shall not tell you who these flowers of Lebanon Valley chivalry are. The Freshmen of this bunch are not allowed to spoon in the parlor like gentlemen, but are sent to the kitchen by the Seniors. They are contented, however, for the kitchen range is as secluding as the piano or the palms in the parlor. Up in the parlor two fellows, old at the game, never get into the some room. One is sure to take the north and the other the south parlor. Then they get to fighting over the light. By mutual agreement the lights in both parlors must be turned off, excepting one light in one of the In order that our readers ma} ' not get the idea that our college days are all grind we have had a careful student of the sociology of the institution write his observations on the social joys of L. V. C. Editor ' s Note. parlors ; but ordinarily not being able to agree in which parlor this lone light shall burn, they settle the difficulty by turning off all the lights. The tall boy generally does this duty. Then come gentle remonstrances about being afraid in the dark, but their natural protectors allay their fears, and all is bliss. Gossip has it that one evening a Senior met a bud fleeing from the kitchen, who, to his mild look of inquiry — being a Senior, he had passed through the violet stage of spoonology — exclaimed. Oh, he tried to kiss me, the ugly boy ! Holy smokes ! ejaculated the Senior, What have you been doing down there, if this is the first time he kissed you ? Oh, just getting ready, she answered, and, smiling contentedly, skipped down stairs again to the region of pots and pans. At eleven sharp, our motherly preceptress appears at the top of the stairs in a ghostly garb and calls to her young charges below in sweetest musical tones, subdued but perfectly audible in the extreme corners of the parlors and the secluded retreats of the kitchen, Girls! Girls!! (No answer.) Girls!! Girls!!!! The deuce!! What are you girls doing down there ? Girls ! Girls ! ! I say, its time to say good night. You may do that on the porch. Don ' t let it take you longer than twelve. From various points they answer, Yes, ma ' am. Good night ! (Miss Engle exit.) No one has been able to learn definitely what takes place on the porch from n to 12. Oh! fair porch ! How manifold are thy blessings ! Thou art fair and dark indeed ! How much thou hidest from view ! ' ' Shakespeare. Perhaps we might never have known the mysteries of the porch had not some mean, some malign, some malicious young fellow, who was robbing the kitchen and saw (?) told us confidentially what —151— he saw fiom 11.50 to 12 one Sunday night. Let the suggestion suffice. The ministers of the institution call somewhere in -Bellegrove, at least two of them, so ' tis said. But the manly young men— the strong and brave, the flower of L. V. C. — they go to Lebanon each Sunday eve. Their number is great. Even the Forum editor and the Y. M. C. A. president have now joined their ranks. When asked regarding their reception they grow enthusiastic over the fair Ladies of Lebanon and say to those in doubt that one visit will surely convince. The only thing to be deplored is that some of the fellows miss the last car home, and either walk home in the early hours of Monday morning or come straggling into their classes some time during the forenoon. Verily, all the brave, who alone deserve the fair, wend their way to Lebanon each Sunday eve. So there ! Thus endeth the reading of the lesson. Be wise ! A Critical Observer. HovO the Game Is Worked Dear Friend : To-night there is nothing going on. So, if you would like to, come over and take a look at the parlor.

Final Word We have aimed in compiling this Bizarre to touch every point in the cycle of our college life. We think our book is a true index of the char- acter of Lebanon Valley College. If we have a joke on anyone of you, believe us it is perfectly good-natured ; if we don ' t have one on you it is because you did not tell us one on yourself. To all those who contributed in any way to the contents of our Bizarre we are thankful. We are especially grateful to our patrons and advertisers, who have made the publication of this book possible, and to our publishers for their excellent service and their patience with our inexperienced editor- ship.
