May the Gentle Reader or the Sweet Critic think not that the effort to produce this volume has been of a minor character. Rather than this, the task has been one which has called forth all the energy and assiduity that could be found in those who were assigned to the task; none of whom will say that the achievement was easy, nor the way lined with laurels or other trophies. They have con- scientiously used every means to produce a monument and a voice which will speak in no uncertain tones of the trials and sorrows, as well as the joys and pleasures, all of which have most assuredly been among us. Therefore, let everyone who enters with- in these portals, enter as a guest, and every student as an old familiar friend, for herein can be found the actions, accomplishments, and successes, all of which are arrayed as a perpetual witness and memoir to the Class of ' 25.

She has undertaken to teach you how to study and to see the relation between books and life, between school days and the days that follow. She has sought to widen your horizons and thus to enlarge your capacities both for happiness and service. She has sought to interpret life and to help you to see, to love and to seek after the good, the beautiful, the true. She has hoped to awake in each of you a consciousness of self — both your powers and your limitations — and in that way help y ou to find your place in the world. She has tried to motivate you in such a way as to cause you to bring all those acquisitions and opportunities under tribute to a great purpose which will direct your energies and powers to noble achievements. Dickinson Seminary has sought to make your School Days mean all this and more. How well she has succeeded time will tell. In closing, let me repeat what I have said to a former class: You are now to take your places in that loyal body of men and women who have preceded you and are now known as the Alumni. You will soon find your places in the com- munities where you will be privileged to serve. May the strength which you have found here sustain you, the knowledge you have gained here enlarge your horizon, the friendships you have formed here inspire you, the ideals you have set up before you ennoble your effort, and the faith you have had strengthened here serve as a sure anchor in the voyage of life so that you may find your place and so serve as to bring at the end the approval of your fellow-toilers and the Master ' s well done is the wish of one who desires aKays to be counted Your friend, ' y . yiOM ■ - n President. la floniHiiflyyiiDiiDooHHiiiiaDiiflflyyyoQyiiyiioiniiiD iiiiionnoiiiniinniDal Nine a THE DART OF 1925 Q m IQ Ten 01 THE DART OF 1925 Q m Eleven Q THE DART O F 19 2 5 Q BENJAMIN McCLURE, B.A., Dean, English Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va., 1913-1914.

Secretary Francis Geigle, Trcasuier m m Forty-three B THE DART OF 1925 QI INASMUCH as the Class of ' 26 was not organized until this year ( 1925), and inas- much as there were no activities as a class until after its organization, there is lit- tle to be written concerning the history of the years of ' 22 and ' 23, ' 23 and ' 24. This class ranked high in scholarship for the first two years, three or four members having maintained averages of ninety or above. With regards to athletics, the first year our class united with the Juniors and won. Likewise the second year the class joined with the Seniors of that year and turned out to be victorious. During these two first years of the existence of the class there have been numerous changes in the enrollment. We were glad to welcome new members into our midst this year and we are also disappointed and sorrowful over the absence of former class-mates who did not return for the work of another school year. A new period in the life of the Junior Class was begun on the 22nd of January, 1925, for it was on that date that it came to exist and function as an organized unit. As a result of the election, the following were chosen for officers of the class: Milton B. Crist President Lou Ross Vice-President Frances Bubb Secretary Francis Geigle Treasurer Blue and Red were selected as the class colors. The violet was unanimously agreed upon as the class fiower. The motto adopted was Facta, non verba, which means, Deeds, not words. The Junior Class began its social activities by giving a banquet to the Seniors at the close of their Sleigh Ride. Our President, Milton Crist, competently filled the position of toast master. Miss Kapp, as Junior Councillor, delivered a short speech. Geo rge McCahan, acting in the capacity of Chairman of the Junior Banquet Com- mittee responded with a toast. Much credit was reflected upon the Junior Class and particularly the Banquet Committee for the success of the whole affair, which was highly complimented on by the Seniors. The next and most outstanding social event of the year was the Junior Sleighing Party and Banquet which took place on the 22nd day of January, 1925. After due Q0 Forty-four a THEDART oT 19 2 5 Q] deliberation and much preparation, we were finally off (or rather snow-balled off) on our journey. It was a perfect day for the event. After a two-hours ' delightful ride in the sleighs behind the jingling sleigh-bells we, at last, arrived at our destina- tion, the Evergreen Tea Room. While waiting for the chief event of the day, the big dinner, we were favored with piano selections by Miss Mulliner. After about a half hour of patient waiting, filled with pleasant anticipations of what was to fol- low, we sat down to a gorgeous feast of chicken and waffles with all the trimmings. Following the meal, we all went out doors, where some occupied themselves with taking pictures, while others engaged in snow battles. After a brief but very en- joyable sojourn, of a couple hours at the Tea Room, we again heard the sleigh-bells calling us away from our fun in order to load up once more. The return trip was filled with songs and various discussions. The sleighs pulled up in front of the old Sem about seven-thirty. The following rendered to us their services as chap- erons: Miss Kapp, Miss Van Dyke, Miss Mulliner, and Professor and Mrs. Skeath. We were greatly indebted to them for the capable and sportsmanlike way in which they helped to make the party such an enjoyable affair. At eight o ' clock we gather- ed in the gayly decorated dining room for the banquet given by the Seniors. Al- though we had eaten only a few hours previous to this time, nevertheless our appe- tites had been sharpened by the ride back through the frosty air, so that we did full justice to the elaborate repast. Dr. Long made the main address of the evening, after which a number responded with toasts. Dean McClure, Miss Van Dyke, Miss Kapp, and Professor Skeath gave brief talks. Mr. Crist and Mr. Geigle represented the Junior Class, and Mr. Scribner, the Senior Class in their responses. We felt greatly indebted to the Seniors for their excellent preparation and for the happy evening which was made possible for us through their efforts. Truly every member of the Junior Class who went on this memorable Sleigh Ride will always have the fondest recollections of this perfect day. We Juniors have not been as successful thus far in athletics as might be de- sired. In football, after a hard but well-fought game, we were finally forced to acknowledge defeat at the hands of the Seniors. We also regret to report an unsuc- cessful basketball season. But in bowling we came out ahead of the others. All hope for the remaining half of the season is not to be despaired of, for the prospects look very bright in tennis, and for the inter-class baseball game and also the track- meet which will be held on Campus Day. a o y y BHii H ii y ii oy y H 1 oDii QoypoDyG 11 coiioiiy 00 110 iflDHimoflyfloa Forty-five Q THE DART F 19 2 5 Q Baird, Courtney C.

The Class of ' 25 bids him good luck, may his victories, for the Gold and White, be numerous, and may he have the loyal support of eveiy true Dickinsonian. m Forty-seven Q 3 THE DART OF 1925 g] Oh the school upon the hill-top. Will celebrate tonight, For the team is bringing victory To the Gold and to the White. THESE glorious words rushing forth from the enthusiastic throats of the en- tire student body, and echoing and re-echoing back and forth across the spacious floor of the gymnasium, or forming a vast column of sound floating across the broad expanse of the athletic field, have indeed caused the hearts of many a strong and brave foe to tremble with a strange, unconquerable feeling of awe! And what a grand and glorious feeling do these words, that seem to have within themselves some weird uncanny force, instill into the panting breasts of a Gold and White team! For athletics, always a part of the course at Dickinson Seminary, have at last found their true worth during the last few years. It can be safely said that there is no other preparatory school of its size in the state of Pennsylvania, and in truth, in the states of the East, where there can be found an institution that can surpass in any way the calibre of our team, its ideals of sportsmanship, and the ultimate success of its athletics in later years, than those teams placed upon the field of sport by Dickinson Seminary! This seems, indeed, a bold statement to make, but with a football team that emerged victorious over the best scholastic teams of the East representing it, and with its basketball teams maintaining an excellent record of games won and lost, one can readily see the force of the statement. One of the most deciding factors in the uplift of athletics at this school is with- out a doubt the acquisition of a new $165,000 gymnasium, which was formally dedi- cated on November 8, 1924, with very impressive ceremonies. The gymnasium, with facilities for baseball, handball, bowling, indoor baseball and track as well as containing wonderfully equipped sets of body building instruments, boasts of a 60x 20 foot swimming pool. It is in the gymnasium auditorium that plays, recitals, and really all social functions of the Seminary are held. The untiring and successful efforts of Coach Swartz has contributed largely y ' Forty-eight 3 THE DART OF 1925 Q] to the high standing now held by Dickinson Seminary teams. By his keen judgment, his ability to influence the players in giving his best talent for the colors, he has been a wonderful success. Credit is due also to Coach Cornwell and Coach Skeath, of the track team, for their work throughout the season in raising the large number of candidates who responded to the call. Above all, the student body is to be congratulated for its great loyalty, its co- operation, and for having presented to the school such a cheer leader as John R. Westwood. And so — with the close of another year at good old Dickinson we may look back upon the really striving time that we have all had while here, and can attribute a great portion of our pleasure to the witnessing of many close games. May the standard of athletics at Dickinson Seminary never be lowered, and may hope and future developments and uns elfish participation give to her such a name that she will be feared and regarded as a great institution by all those who are to follow this Class of 1925! lypiiflyiiHfly yoiiiiiioyyyiiyflflyDflyiiyiiiiiiDyyyDyyoooDoiiHoa Forty-nine Q THE DART OF 1925 Q QO Fifty a THE DART OF 1925 Q] Footba The following vias the lineup on our football team this past season of 1924: Braden Coonie Hughes Left End G.

Scribbie Scribner Right Tackle Arthur Artie Emich Right End Earl Z. Mack McKay Quarterback Millard C. Bye Hayes Left Halfback George R. Granny Nye, Capt Fullback Despite the fact that only five of these men had been on the varsity team of 1923, and, returning, had again donned the togs of their Alma Mater, Coach Cardy Swartz, an athlete of much ability, and one of the most successful football mentors ever at Dickinson, calmly proceeded to build around these veterans a team that ended the season with but one defeat. That defeat, coming as it did from the hands of the Sem ' s ancient foe, Wyom- ing Seminary, of Kingston, was a bitter pill to swallow, but it is more than over- balanced by the victories over Harrisburg Tech , Cornell Freshmen, and West Chester Normal, three of the best scholastic elevens in the state. The season opened in a blaze of glory for the Gold and White eleven, Keystone Academy being forced to bow to the invincible playing of our team with a score of 13-7. Keystone, however gained the honor of being the first team to score up on the locals, and incidentally became the first of two teams who were the only two to score at all during the entire season. Harrisburg Tech must be destroyed! Verily the Fates smiled benignly upon the ministers, and gave them a well earned victory over Tech — 14-0. With Burkett and Nye ploughing great holes through the opposing line, and with Scribner and Bechdel acting as towers of defense, it was left to Hayes to intercept a forward pass and dash eighty-five yards for a touchdown, followed shortly after by Burkett ' s plunge through the line for six extra points. It was indeed a happy squad that re- turned to Dickinson! Passing over the Mansfield Normal victory of 31-0, we find Coach Swartz get- ting ambitious to sign up with the Cornell Freshmen for a tilt. Appearances were decidedly against our warriors for at that time Cornell Frosh boasted of an almost impenetrable eleven. B ut again Dame Fortune smiled favorably, and our scouts returned, though somewhat the worse for wear, with a score of 14-0. a oDDiiy miiDy noil II oooHHy Oil flflyy 110 II oflHy 1111 flypiflymniDOiiHoa Fifty-one g THE DART o 1925 g] West Chester Normal, undefeated for three years and not scored on for two, were the next that were vanquished. A scare at the hands of Bye Hayes, who scored Seminary ' s only touchdown in the first five minutes of play, practically as- sured the Gold and White supporters victory. The team was badly crippled as a result of the game, for Hayes and Hohenscheldt were out of the game indefinitely. Luckily enough, Susquehanna Reserves were easy victims, and succumbed to a white-wash of 19-0. And then, the game of the year! With the grandstands packed, the bleachers filled to over-flowing with a shouting mass of frantic spectators, and with the entire sfudent body yelling and cheering itself hoarse with the cry of Fight ! Team ! Fight ! the break came. Dame Fortune gave her place to her daughter Misfortune, which deed coupled with a seemingly ceaseless flow of strength on the part of Wyoming, we were defeated with a score of 19-0. With this game a part of history, our team was more battered than ever. Bye Hayes had played with a plaster paris cast, on his shoulders, and Earl McKay was again the possessor of fractured ribs and a broken arm. Credit is due Wyoming for they played a clean game throughout. The last game of the season was scheduled to be played with Bloomsburg Normal. They cancelled the game, however. Thus closed one of the most successful of all the seasons for the Gridiron of the Gold and the White. There stands a record of seven games, with six victories and one defeat . As a counterbalance to the twenty-six points gained by opponents, Dickinson has to her credit ninety-seven points. Much credit is due to Cardy , our well-known and equally loved Coach. And to say of him: Great deeds, high thoughts, and not words alone extol the virtue of a man. The Second Team Much credit is due the fellows who sacrificed their spare time and their plea- sures to give to the varsity team what help it could, and to do their part in turning out a great team under the Gold and White Colors. The scrubs were victors over Picture Rocks High School 13-0 and fought a good battle against Galeton High School and against overwhelming odds lost 63-7, but at least did their share of feasting at the Football Banquet at Christ Church. The members of the second team are, Rothermel and Long, ends, Cummings, Mueller, tackles, Baid and Feldman, guards, while Lloyd, Glazer, N. Gritfiths, Myers Crist, backs. Q Fifty-two g THE DART O F 1 9 2 5 Q Prospectus ior 192,5 Football Rated as having one of the strongest teams of all the Preparatory schools of the Eastern United States last fall, the Athletic Committee of the Seminary has drawn up one of the most strenuous schedules in the history of the school for the coming season, 1925. Mercersburg Academy, which has always been noted for its great teams, Cornell Freshman, who fell victims to Dickinson only after the hardest battle of the year, Perkiomen, which has turned out many very successful elevens in the last few years, and Wyoming Seminary, the only victor over the Gold and the White in the past season, 1924, will be on the schedule, which includes five at home and four away. The Thanksgiving Game is with the Perkiomen team. Coach Swartz is indeed fortunate in losing but three letter-men this year by graduation : Jim Griffiths, Tiny Scribner, and Coonie Hughes. a opoyyiiHi iyfliifliiyiiiiH yiiiiaiiyDiiyflyyoiiiiyfliio oaiioiimioiiDDiifloa Fifty-three fa THE DART O F 19 2 5 Q Capt Nye, Fullback Hughes Left End HoiiLNbiu-LDT, Left Tackle NYE — Fullback — Captain An enthusiastic spectator at one of the games here this season suddenly became interested in a big, heavy set fellow, who playing one of the backfield positions, was having things his own way despite the determined efforts of his opponents. After the husky had outshone all previous efforts by a mighty plunge through the line which resulted in a touchdown, the spectator jumped to his feet and shouted, Ye gods, how that guy can buck the line! The guy turned out to be George Granny Nye, of Hummelstown, to whose capable leadership the team owes much of its success. The best that we can do for him is to allow him to carry away our most sincere wishes for his ultimate success, and prophesy for him a great future, not only in athletics but in the problems of life as well. HUGHES— Left End Coming to us with football experience at Franklin High, Coonie at once proceeded to show his great ability as an end. His aggressiveness, his stellar de- fense, was one of the great factors in Seminary ' s freak season. Many thanks, Coonie. HOHENSHELDT—Left Tackle Big Dick Hohensheldt, the sheik from Harrisburg Tech! Despite his sheikish qualities, Dick turned out as a player of no mean merit. Toward the last of the season, Hohensheldt played a backfield position, and as h e will return next year is nearly certain of a place on the varsity.

Fiity-sei ' en ' Fifty-eight Q THE DART OF 1925 Q] Tte 192,5 Basketball Season On January 17th the Gold and White opened its season with a decisive victory over the Keystone Academy, 39-16, which gave promise of being one of the best teams that had ever started the season for the Seminary. With Captain McKay and Nye forming a nucleus for the team, Coach Swartz was highly optimistic about the coming program. We were forced to bow, however, to the superior playing of the Bloomsburg quintet in the next game, and followed that with a loss at Wyoming Seminary. On this trip the fellows were not in the best of condition, and were up against two of the best teams in the state, but these facts are not directly responsible for the defeats. These two set backs seemed as an impetus towards a better team, and the re- sults of th is impetus were evident when the teams won three successive victories over Trevorton High, Wyoming and Renovo High. The force of these three games was lost when two other games were dropped to Harrisburg Tech, and Bloomsburg Normal, on December 14th and 20th, but these losses did not break the fighting spirit of the team. The season ended on March 14th, when Harrisburg Tech emerged victorious over the locals after one of the hardest and most exciting games of the year, upon the home floor. The score was tied several times, and only a spectacular shot from the middle of the floor by Kitzmuller in the last minute of play saved the game from extra periods. During the entire season the Junior Varsity played good basketball, and won all but two of the twelve games played, and were a great help in building up the varsity five, who in turn won six out of twelve played.

Of these only Nye, Rothermel, Todhunter, and Hoover were veterans of last year ' s team, and form.ed the background for the 1925 team. Coach Swartz at once began to pick his first and second teams, from the best skilled of the squad, and has formed a team of which five men are new to Dickinson Sem- inary baseball. Of these Emick, who has already earned a name for himself as a hitter and fielder. Long, a lanky Southerner who is seen holding down the center field job in great style, Hughes of Franklin High, Kendall and Evans of Boston, and Griffiths, have been showing up very well as team-mates. Because of the inclement weather, practice has been very irregular, which fact has greatly hampered the progress of the nine. Montgomery High School, however, was the first to taste the bitter pill of defeat, at the hands of the Gold and X iite players. Kendall pitched a fair game, and, aided by the heavy hitting of Hughes, Nye, Emich, Todhunter, and Long, won with the score of 8-0. In the second game Mansfield Normal took the measure of the locals, in a game which was close until the 7th inning, when the Sem ' s infield blew up and allowed four runs to cross the plate, and Mansfield reversed the score of the previous Satur- day. (It might be added that the dance that was to be held at the Normal School that evening had keyed the Ducks up to a too great pitch of anticipation.) When Wyoming Seminary walloped Dickinson 15-5 it put a rather sad face upon the home squad, but superior playing against a rather loose infield, and a team that can do wonders in the hitting department, will always have a great ma- chine, as Wyoming certainly has. With Bloomsburg Normal to be met twice, Montgomery High to be encountered, and two or three other fast travelling clubs to be tackled, the outcome of the season is, indeed, doubtful. But with Coach Swartz putting special attention upon the pitching staff, and more work upon the batters, there is much ground for optimism for a big year in baseball circles. With faculty and student body codperating as it will, there is no doubt that Dickinson Seminary, counting all in all, will have a banner year.

After a few days of setting-up exercises in the gym the squad reported on the track. The candidates were soon assigned the distances which they were best suited to have. Much attention centered around the relay team which, though it did not take any laurels, did make, however, a good show- ing at the Penn Relays. This team was made up of Griffiths, Geigle, Hanson, and Lloyd, with Hayes as alternate. A triangle meet, in which Wyoming Seminary, Bloomsburg State Normal, and our school competed, was held at Kingston. Here our team made a good showing, considering the few men that entered each event. We ended with five first places. McClain ran the long distance, Crago, McKay, and Sheldon, the half mile, Lloyd, Crist, and Hayes in the dashes, Scribner, Griffiths, and Hayes in the weight events, and in the jumping, Hayes and McKay featured. The high score man of the meet was Bye Hayes, who scored 16 points. The meets at Penn State and Dickinson College will close our season. Here the events will be entered in much the same way as they were at Kingston. An entirely different relay team from the one which set a record at Penn State last year will try to make even a better record this year. Athletic Association The Williamsport Dickinson Seminary Athletic Association has completed the second successful year of its e.xistence, being reorganized so as to hold a governing position in the school life. The promotion of athletics and school spirit are two of the organization ' s greatest aims. The election of team managers and the wearing of the school letter are governed by the association. As every student is a member and is admitted to all athletic contests free, the interest in the association is not just that of a few, but of an organization of several hundred members. We hope that, with the school, the Athletic Association may continue to grow in influence and be- come a still greater factor in the school life. OFFICERS Leonard Rothermel President J.

Here ' s to it, and long may it live! I ask with entire modesty, where before has there ever been gathered together such an illus- trious body of high-thinking, intelligent and purely intellectual young people as right here in our dear Class of ' 25? It is astounding when we consider what a wealth of talent in embryo lies about us. We have future great artists, musicians, doctors, lawyers, authors and ministers in our number. I have no doubt but that our Susan Virginia Skillington will one day be president of the United States. This famous class became organized in October, 1923. It was while we were Freshmen — before we were even organized — that Dr. Long came to take over the presidency of Dickinson. He has wonderfully built up the school both in spirit and in modernity. We feel bound to him by close ties of fellowship. It is we who have worked along with him during these four years and have helped him to make the school what it is. ' We surely wish him the best of success and hope that he will go right on with the improvements. Our class spirit has been good; our officers have been efficient and willing work- ers. We early displayed our unusual prowess in the competent way in which we defeated our bitter rivals, the Juniors, at the inter-class football game. Truly men that can play football as our classmen did that day, are destined to do great things! And then our sleigh-ride unanimously agreed to have been the best yet. A few childish tricks by the Juniors such as postponing the sleighs and locking up our president, merely added zest to the occasion. The famous Waffle Contest was won by our esteemed, Mr. Faulkner, with a record of eighteen waffles. Our class, due to an unexpected delay in the finishing of our wonderful new gymnasium, will be the first class to hold its graduation exercises in the new audi- torium. We keenly appreciate this honor and hope to be worthy of it. Our gym- nasium, by the way, has helped to make our school-year worth while and delightful. We are nearing our great goal — graduation. As we look back over our four years spent within the portals of old Dickinson, we fell immensely grateful for the opportunities we have had and we will always have a warm spot in our hearts for our Alma Mater. laooymiiniy flaDOfliioiiyH yaoHoyDoyoyiiHiioyoo fliiiiJHiioiiyiiHoa Sixtv-nine 3 THEDARTOF1925 3| Class Will WE, the Class of 1925, of Williamsport Dickinson Seminary at Fourth and Academy Streets, City of Williamsport, County of Lycoming, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby swear this to be our final Will and Testament made by us in a state of sound body and mind as we pass into another world.

Seventy-four a THE DART OF 1925 Ql Week of Prayer February 9th- 15th IT was with the mingled feelings that most of us looked forward to the Week of Prayer. Those of us who had never been present at such an occasion did not know just what to expect, and those of former years were discreetly silent. The studious feared that their studies would be interrupted, the frivolous were afraid of interfer- ence with their good times — suspension of the social privilege, for instance. Es- pecially did we look forward to the appearance of Dr. William E. P. Haas who was to take charge. So much depended on him. We knew from what Dr. Long had said that he was pastor of Wharton Memorial, one of the largest Methodist Churches of Philadelphia, — therefore, a man of importance. Would he be like some men of importance who never for one moment let one forget the fact that they are im- portant? We waited anxiously. On Monday, the first day of that Week of Prayer, the hearty clapping at the beginning of chapel announced the fact that Dr. Haas was here. By the time chapel was over all our doubts and fears were allayed. He was just the man for the job. Besides the other splendid things he told us, we enjoyed several new jokes, and most important, we had learned the equation flapper equals ( ??) Bungalow. — And wasn ' t it interesting to figure out just who were the Dickinsonian bungalows? Each day following, group prayer meetings were held in the rooms of the stu- dents and Dr. Haas talked to the student body twice a day. Each talk was as splendid as the one that preceded it — which is saying a lot. But especially did Dr. Haas reach the hearts of the student body through his interviews. In them he showed us that he was interested in our problems and willing to do his best to help solve them — and many were the problems solved during those interviews. He answered questions patiently, threw light on dark places and best of all, helped us to see the Christ in the mirror of love. Then came Thursday, the Day of Prayer, bringing that wonder- fully stirring sermon — or was it just a talk? Whatever its scientific or theological name may be does not matter. It was the thing itself that counted, and did count with many of us that morning. The subject was The Race of Life and the scripture was the following two verses from Hebrews: Wherefore seeing we also Seventy-five Q THE DART O F 19 2 5 Q are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God . How vividly each phrase was ex- plained. The race of life as run with the Christ is not a race for weaklings. No! It requires the real stuff — courage, training, strength, daring, grit, determination — to run the race successfully. Only those who come up to the mark are victors. Many, seeing it in this new light, decided to enter the race and run to the finish. Others, before the week was over, had decided to do likewise. Just a few minutes before closing the communion service Sunday night, Dr. Haas told us that, before coming, he had prayed that one hundred young people might decide that they were willing to let Christ do what he wished with their lives. He then had seventy-four such decisions. At the close of the service he stepped to the edge of the platform and announced that twenty-six promises had been given to him that night making the one hundred decisions for which he had prayed. Thus closed our Week of Prayer. But in the dorms there is a new spirit, scarcely tangible and yet indisputably there. It is the spirit of the Christ. May it ever abide within the hearts of all true Dickinsonians.

I suppose I ' ll either have to study at college or get a job. Well anything as long as I don ' t come back here. I never hated a place so in all my life; I never learned anything and was always in wrong. The whole faculty had it in for me, I never got any knowledge. All I got was spots and campus; I haven ' t enough preparation to enter grammar school. I don ' t like the class anyway. Some of them think they are too good to asso- ciate with me; the rest are not good enough for me to bother with. This class will be lucky if they stay six weeks in college; 1 think they all cheated their way through anyhow. It rains all the time around this place. When it stops raining it gets windy. They won ' t let you walk on the grass in the Spring. 1 don ' t hang around the campus with this crowd so I don ' t care much. I went out for football but I got the Captain and the Coach jealous so I quit. Then the fool cheer leaders try to get you to yell for a crowd that gets beaten every game. They are only clowns anyway and like to be in the limelight. When I get my diploma I ' ll take the first train out. I wouldn ' t stay here for commencement except that I want to razz the commencement speakers. I won ' t crack a book for exams; eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. The Optimist As June with its closing activities looms up before us. we suddenly feel a little shock when we recollect that our school days at the Old Sem will soon be ended. It causes a little feeling of sadness to sweep over us, — a feeling that somehow we are loath to discuss with our dearest chum. We think how, next year when the old bell rings, it will not ring for us, but for many new students who have come to take our places. But this little bit of pleasant sadness is tempered with the thought of new fields opening for the Class of ' 25. New experiences will come to us, new friends and a new understanding. It is for this separation that Dickinson has prepared us. As a bird reaches the age when it must leave the nest, and leaving reluctantly, it finds a greater, broader life, so must we leave the sheltering wall of Old Dickinson. But the great world with its opportunities for work and service can never dim these days of youth. So now that Dickinson has equipped us, we depart bravely. We will not say Good-bye, but to Dickinson, a Hail and Farewell — until we meet again. Seventy-nine Q THE DART O F 19 2 5 Q Leopard Club SOMEONE given to coining proverbs has made the statement that Misery loves company. This is quite true, we are glad to state, after a careful experiment entitled, The Leopard Club. ' There have been many organizations formed for the sole purpose of being miserable in a body. A notable example might be cited in Robert Louis Stevenson ' s Suicide Club. An uninitiated person might ask why the group should take the name of leopard? The answer comes back in these words, Because the Leopard cannot change his spots. So since the law of the Medes and the Persians says that spots cannot be changed, then the spot bearer must be honored with the name of Leopard. The membership is, indeed, exclusive, only members of the student body are eligible for admission. At the end of each month the spots for each brother are totalled. That fortunate youth who has been spotted most severly becomes, Big Whiskers, but the lad who disgraces himself by collecting the least spots, or none at all, becomes the Cub. ' - Mk- MM uv Eighty a THE DART OF 1925 Q U MEMBERS of the illustrious Leopard Club have the distinction of being the only persons upon whom this special honor, campus is conferred. And campus is indeed a never-to-be forgotten degree of eminence. Do I hear rumors to the contrary? Ah, it is only the voice of the poor unfortunates vkfho have never acquired this special mark of distinction. Just imagine being so desirable that your presence cannot be dispensed with even long enough to allow you to run down to the Corner Store and then try to refute the statement. And speaking of the Corner Store, well when you ' re on campus you ' d rather have a hamburger at the Corner Store than chicken a ' la king at the Waldorf Astoria. But for the benefit of those who are not so fortunate as we, perhaps I can best ex- plain campus by taking you back a few years into your childhood days. Remem- ber the afternoon the water was just right for swimming or was it a good picture at the Orpheum (don ' t tell me there isn ' t an Orpheum in your town) ; well anyway you more or less forgot to go to school that afternoon and that same evening, teacher called up and you stayed in for a week after? Campus is just a collegiate name for the way you spent that week. But there is another phase of campus which cannot be explained by comparison with anything in your earlier experiences be- cause you were less inclined to socialize then. This particular phase is effective on Tuesday and Friday evenings between six-thirty and seven o ' clock and is by far the most excruciating part of the punitive process. You cannot even begin to grasp the full significance of the tragedy ' til you have seen Jess looking wistfully in the direction of chapel and Ken traversing said place with a most pathetic expression on his imposing physiogomy. Here is tragedy in this most heart-rending form O Tempora! O Mores! That ever this should be. But I must not forget t o mention the phase of campus which although it affects only the masculine inhabitants of this antiquated edifice must be quite as painful as the phase which affects the social cases. Here again the tragedy can perhaps best be appreciated by consid- ering a specific example. Just try to imagine the pathos, the tragedy, the awful calamity if Jack were forced to give up one of his Bi-weekly calls on Chink or even worse imagine what it would mean to Red Crago to be deprived of one of his nights out. Why, my dear, as it is he can manage to give each of his numerous admirers not more than three dates a semester. Now, I ask you, would that not be a sad state of affairs? Please, Red, don ' t get on campus; it would be serious you know. But detrimental as campus is to our social attainments or aspirations, there are still those who prefer punishment to abstinence so why expostulate? But in parting let me say — since discretion is the better part of valor — use discretion. a iiyyiiiiHiiiyfliniDnoyfliiiiiDflflflyiioyHyiiyyyo ooyyiiiiiiiiooiiiioa Eighty-one [ THEDARTOF 19 2 5 We, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-five are now closing our sojourn as students of Dickinson.

Y. W. C, A. THE work of the Y. M. C. A. for the year ' 24- ' 25 began in the early part of May, 1924, with the installation of the new officers by Dr. Long. His helpful address and the encouraging words of the retiring cabinet, as they transferred the re- sponsibilities of the Y. M. C. A., were sources of inspiration to the new officers. The student body is to be congratulated for their hearty cooperation not only in being present at the regular night meetings, but for the considerate and the genuine spirit that has been prevalent throughout the school year. We also wish to express our ap- preciation to Dr. Long, for it has been through his kind consideration that the Y. M. C. A. has been able to offer a number of enjoyable entertainments during the year. The work of the closing week of the year ' 23- ' 24 was for the most part carried on in the Y. M. C. A. room in Fifth Hall. That willingness of every student to lend a hand made it possible for the Y to send two delegates to Bucknell to the Annual Y. M. C. A. Convention, where they not only received inspiration for the carrying on of the work, but helpful suggestions which made it possible to increase the num- m Eighty-six Q Q THE DART OF 1925 Q ber of activities of the Y . Following close upon the convention was Campus Day at Dickinson which gave the Y cabinet a chance to display any business qualities which they might have. This we consider a success too, because every Sem student had a chance to spend all the money he had either for candy or ice cream. The last few weeks of that term were filled with class-work and preparation for commencement. On June 11, many students said good-bye to Dickinson, some as Alumni, others as Seniors or Juniors to be. At the beginning of the new year we received encouragement from the excel- lent group of students which came among us. The Association did all in its power to make the new students feel at home and to renew somewhat the spirit of Dickin- son in those who were returning to the school. This was aided by a reception by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. in Bradley Hall at the outset of the school year. A little later in the Fall was held the Hallowe ' en Party, which gave everyone a better chance to become acquainted. There is, however, one thing which the Y feels proud of for this year, and that is the maintaining of the Christian spirit, especially after Dr. Haas visited us for the week of prayer. There were held, on fifth and sixth halls, prayer meetings, twice a week, which were strengthening and helpful to all. The regular Y meet- ings held on Saturday night have been well attended this year, especially by the new students, and here we see the real value of the Y. M. C. A. Some of these students who have come here for the first time have been given the opportunity to broadcast their views on life at our regular meetings. Then again there have been discussions which help to broaden the participant and to make him well balanced, destroying any undue prejudice which he may have possessed. It is to this that the organization looks with pride for it is sure that the supreme purpose of the Y. M. C. A. is to develop character, and it feels as though this has been done at least in a fair measure. After all, this life here is but a preparation period. Our harvest shall depend upon our sowing. So with the sincere wish and prayer that the cabinet of ' 25- ' 26 may have all the strength for the encounters with future problems, the retiring cabinet gives them the torch. May it be a light to them and all others who come to Dickinson !

It is with- standing the assaults of time; it is solidly set as a monument to the brave and true, for within its remote walls there are those who live and abide by their honor alone. Time has brought forth many names for this world-renowned rendezvous. Some call it the Celestial Domicile or the Heavenly Abode, and we feel sure that if Milton had resided here he would never have written Paradise Lost, and further we feel that the reason for his Paradise Regained was that he had a dream of this our Elysian Hut, which then required the ceaseless sands of time to bring it to its full fruition. Of course this place is not really Heaven, but then it is the closest thing to it in Dickinson Seminary. Life is joyous in the Angel Factory; every man knows what is required, he knows the limits to which he can go, he appreciates the trust and faith in which he is held, and it is a pleasure to say that he justifies the faith that is placed in him. Legion is the name of those who have dwelt here, and scattered today over many parts of the globe can be found those who look back with deep and true af- fection to the place wherein they possibly met their first challenge to maintain honor. Many of those who have gone out were denied the pleasures which the Angels of this year have enjoyed. Along with Prof. Cornwell ' s little son (who holds out every promise of being a perfect cheer leader) we have had duets, quar- tets, and sextets; also feeds which at the very sight cause the mouth to water and the esophagus to dilate. It is because of these many pleasures and get-togethers that we love the Old Haunt. May she stand forever and aye, and may Time not mark her as one of the forgotten wonders of the world! lioiiyriittHy yDiiDyiiyy siiDiioQyDoyi iiiyoyiiiniDiionQiniiiyiiDyfltia Ninety-three a THE DART OF 1925 m Q Ninety-four a THEDARTOF1925 Q] Tripartite Literary Society HIDDEN away in the realms of Bradley Hall is a cozy room where almost every Saturday night a jolly crowd of girls gather for the usual Literary Meeting. For many years the word Tripartite has had a meaning in the heart of every girl in the Seminary. The real purpose of this organization is to develop every literary talent that is found, also encouraging talent along other lines. The programs are composed of book reviews, readings and musical numbers. Every minute of the allotted time is passed very pleasantly. Many times, when the programs are finished, the remainder of the evening is spent in charades or other games. There is no better way in which girls can know girls than in organizations like this, and Tripartite Literary Society without a doubt, has influenced every one of its members along the lines of truer and deeper friendship and the better things in Life. la floyyyy iiDOiiflycyyiiiiifliKiyiioQn iiyiioyDyooooioyoiioDDfliioQa Ninety-five Q THE DART OF 1925 Q W ' IS if, . y Ninetv-six [ THE DART OF 1925 Q es Lettres Literary Society THE history of Belle Lettres has been too long and honorable for us to attempt to set down its achievements. We would rather tell how the society functions as a Literary unit. At the beginning of each year the members go after the new students. Open meetings are held so it is possible for the new friends to catch the ideas and spirit of the society. The members of the faculty are divided among the three societies and we can truly say that the faculty cooperation that we receive is one of the greatest helps toward maintaining a strong and interesting program throughout the year. The interest of the faculty in student organization is a source of inspirations to the students. The program is planned a week ahead. No student is forced to take part, but it is to his advantage to train himself to stand on his feet and talk. The Belle Lettres makes for a well rounded life. There are many activities throughout the school year that rightfully claim the interest of the wide-awake student. But as a member of the Belle Lettres, providing you cooperate with the organization, you will receive something that no other phase of school life can possibly give you. In the year which has past our new gymnasium has been finished. Among its countless advantages and equipment we find the Literary Society rooms. The room occupied by the Belle Lettres Union Society is one of the best in the building. The Society library is there, and all that is needed for a thriving society is at hand. Students! It is up to you. Old Belle Lettres with her long and honorable history waits for you in the coming year to carry on. Ninety-seven a THE DART OF 1925 11 Q Ninety-eight g THE DART 0 F 1925 QJ Gamma Epsilon Literary Society To the members of the Class of 1925, publishers of the annual in which this editorial appears. Gamma Epsilon Literary Society; First would extend her most sincere congratulations, and best wishes for future success and prosperity. Of the number of her own that she now gives to the world, of the graduating class, she is justly proud to have numbered them as her members. The record of their success here at Dickinson Seminary is an assurance, that wherever in life ' s broad field of battle, in the bivouac of life they will not be like dumb driven cattle, but heroes in the strife, and we believe that they will reflect honor and glory to the Literary Society. They bid farewell to their society, and to their Alma Mater with a keen sense of lasting gratitude and indebtedness, not only for the pleasant associations and friendships, but also for the self development in being equipped to wrestle with the problems of life. In the last year the Literary Societies have suffered some from lack of interest. Other activities which have taken place at the time specified for the meeting of the Societies, has done much to dampen the interest shown toward them. It is gratify- ing to say, however, that quite a number of former members of the society have paid us visits during the last year, and have given us courage to fight on, among them being Dr. Gray. With the installation of the new officers we look forward to a better and greater year for 1926, when the Gamma Epsilon will come into her own once more. laoiiyiiiiyH yDDHOoyHiiyyoflyy yflyiioflDDfloo iioyflOflflyyiiDfloa Ninety-nine One Hundred 3 THE DART OF 1925 Q] The Choral Club GREAT was the dismay when the rising young artists of Dickinson Seminary discovered that the august body, known as the faculty had decided that, for the advancement of music, there would be separate musical clubs for the masculine and feminine sections of our esteemed student body. Especially dis- mayed were those prima donnas who had advised their friends to join because of the main attraction — boys. Regardless of this damper placed on their enthusiasm, a goodly number appear- ed in Mrs. Chapin ' s (better known as Miss Dodd) studio Saturday morning for the initiation into the mysteries of Choral Club work. Looking back we conclude that boys are very unnecessary things when it comes to making Choral Club a pleasure and a success. Just picture again the number of occasions on which we displayed our various talents to our fellow students who were not so wonderfully endowed by nature. First comes Sunday Evening vespers. What would they be without the aid of Mrs. Chapin and the Choral Club? Then comes our first public appearance, when a splendid Christmas program was rendered in the new gymnasium. Last, but far from least, on that memorable occasion when Dr. Haas completed his work here by preaching in Mulberry Methodist Church, none other than our choral club occupied the choir loft. Too much cannot be said concerning Mrs. Emily Dodd Chapin, our delightful instructor. It is to her we owe the success and good times that we have enjoyed in the choral club. In spite of being separated from her newly acquired and dearly beloved husband she has borne cheerfully and even gaily the many trials and tribu- lations heaped upon her by the Dickinsonian future prima donnas. Every Choral Club girl is sorry to see her leave but we feel certain that she will make friends wherever she goes. Good luck, Mrs. Chapin. At the departure of Mrs. Chapin, Prof. Owens took up her good work. He proved to be an excellent substitute and the girls are very grateful to him for his interest in their club. m One Hundred One One Hundred Two g THE DART OF 1925 ( THE orchestra played a very important part in the school life at Dickinson during the recent school days. It has been said by several old Dickinsonians that it is the best orchestra that has ever been organized at Dickinson. We will admit that it is an orchestra to be proud of, and it might be well to say a few things regarding their able leader. The orchestra is directed by Professor Owen, supervisor of the violin depart- ment. Professor Owen, a hale and hearty Englishman, came to the Seminary direct from Europe where he was studying under some famous artists. This is the second year in which he has had charge of the orchestra, and his ability as a leader is proved by the success it has made. The orchestra is composed of both boarding and town students. All of the violinists are from the violin department. It is due to the persistent effort with Professor Owen that the Seminary has such a fine orchestra. It has played for ban- quets, dinners, socials, and most social affairs of the school. Then they proved themselves generous enough to play for different activities in the town and on one occasion went out of town. While coming back from this trip which was giving a musicale in Elimsport, one of the cars ran against a telephone pole and upset. We are mighty lucky to have the orchestra with us today because the car was badly damaged, but outside of a few scratches all of the occupants were safe. After all, the orchestra has had a very successful year, and now for their hard work it is being rumored that they are going to have a picnic. It is hoped that we shall have a fine time.

Houck Piano Irene Henry One Hundred Three a THE DART OF 1925 Q] THE swimming pool in the New Gymnasium was built at a cost of $12,000. It is 20x60 feet and is graded from a depth of four feet at one end to eight feet at the other. A spring-board and all other modern accessories add to the ap- peal of a dip. The girls take possession of the pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while the boys use it on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Several nights during the week are granted to the Y. W. C. A. of Williamsport. It attracts the attention and favor- able comment of visitors. To the various teams that engage in sports on Sem ' s home grounds, the pool is a magnet. Once his boys are in, a visiting coach has a difficult time in prying them out. During the winter months the pool is used more than at any other time. Quite a few of the fellows have found the water, while not as hard as cement, hard enough to sting a bare-back in their endeavors to follow Crist and Newt in some of their flips and twists. To Norman O. Scribner, the biggest man in the Seminary, goes the honor of taking the initial plunge. And Oh, Boy! what a splash. Cardy, like everyone else, learns by experience. He knows now that Tod, Abie and Annibal are too much for one pool. While I don ' t have the exact cost of the experience, I think it was the price of about five thousand gallons of water that went down the overflow. I might add that Baird was home at the time or the lesson might have been more expensive. Foresight on the part of Dr. Long prevented what might have been a sad accident. In ordering the strainers for the filtering outlets, he was far sighted enough to see the possibility of some one being drawn into the filtering machinery; consequently he ordered them with a fine hole. And sure enough his wisdom was justified, when Tallman was found, wedged to his armpits, in one of the strainers. The Seminary girls are also proving themselves to be true ducks. Although no champions have been developed as yet, there are rumors floating around that Rinky is quite a fancy diver. No inter-class aquatic competitions were held because of the already filled schedule in both the social and the athletic life of the past school year. But in 1925-26 there should be inaugurated a keen class rivalry in water sports. Without a doubt the pool was enjoyed by all, both teachers and students. May the old swimming hole be as attractive in the years to come as it was in ' 24- ' 25. One Hundred Four a THE DART OF 1925 Q| The Bo vling Alleys UPON our return from Christmas vacation we were delighted to find that the bowling alleys had been installed and were ready to use. Soon every one was manifesting great zeal in the pursuit of this sport and the members of the interclass teams were endeavoring to acquire such skill as would enable them to vie successfully with their opponents. The teams were divided into three classes, the Seniors, the Juniors, and the Sophomores and Freshmen. Each team was displaying marked skill though the probable outlook seemed to favor the Seniors. But this outlook, though probable, began to be despaired of as quite impossible, for the Seniors seemed to have cultivat- ed such a love for the beautiful and classical that they allowed nothing to interfere in their pursuit of it. The Juniors, quick to observe this characteristic of the Sen- iors, took advantage of it by having most of the games scheduled for Wednesday afternoons, at which time the Seniors were intently occupied in their search for the more refined and nobler art at the Majectic Theatre. Needless to say the Juniors won and the Seniors brought up the rear. Bowling afforded ample means of indoor recreation and the necessary physical exercise during the inclement winter months. Consequently the bowling alleys were used extensively by the students between the Christmas and the Easter holi- days. Evidence of this is the fact that between thirty-seven and thirty-eight hun- dred games were played, in the participation of which some obtained remarkable skill — the following being worthy of honorable mention: Name Score Robert Hunt 226 Millard Hayes 214 James Spence 211 John Hanson 211 James Johnson 206 In summing up the achievement made in bowling and the value it has been to each individual, it is justly placed among those assets which are of high standing. No other sport has called forth so many participants or formed a more delightful and healthful pastime for the students of our school. a ymmiiOflyiiooiifloiiysGsyDinKifliiyoHByyyyiioiiDaiiiiyiioflDiiyDa One Hundred Five Q THE DART O F 19 2 5 Q OH Faithful OUT in Yellowstone National Park there is to be found a geyser called Old Faithful. But Yellowstone is not the only place that can boast of such a pos- session. Dickinson Seminary has an Old Faithful in the life and personage of its caretaker, Mr. William Cross. If he has a cross he bears it with a smile, for one would never be led to believe that his name was a revelation of his true char- acter. He is always on the job with a ready smile and a twinkle in his eye. Through many years of service Mr. Cross has become devoted to the Seminary, during which time he has mastered all trades which in any way have a bearing upon the lives of the students. No snow is too deep for him to make a path through; no task too large for him to do; no day so dreary as to dull his senses. Because of all this we wish to include a remembrance of him in this, our Dart. Q One Hundred Six Q THE DART OF 1925 Q n T M. DRAMATICS Q O ie Hundred Seven a THE DART OF 1925 Q y One Hundred Eight a THE DART OF 1925 Q Dramatic Class THE Dramatic Class meets every Thursday evening to study the fundamental principles of dramatic art and to acquire poise and ease in public speaking. The teacher of the class is Mrs. Elizabeth Reed Mann, who is also head of our Ex- pression Department. In the beginning of the school year, stage directions were studied and many interesting pantomines were given. When a play was chosen and the various characters were selected, the real culmination of the hopes and aspira- tions of the class were realized. The play chosen for presentation was Miss Some- body Else, a comedy i n four acts by Marion Short. It was the first play to be pre- sented in our new gymnasium auditorium. Miss Somebody Else was presented to a large and appreciative audience on the 28th of March. Constance Darcy, tired of being rich, submerges her identity into that of an Irish maid and also helps some poor friends of hers to prosperity by her clever schemes. Constance, or Nora, as she is now called, likewise succeeds in apprehending a gentleman crook who had stolen funds belonging to her father. The play was full of humorous incidents, witty dialogues and dramatic incidents. It was well presented by an able cast under the e.xcellent direction of Mrs. Mann.
