UBRARY A qood book, is the precious lire blood of ck ma ite -5p nt . _ -pT treA5ured up For a life beyond life. -Hilh n N ) wi Mi ' ■y 46277 THE 1928 DART Dr. Long ' s Message C y ] HEN Charles I ' rohm.in stood on llic dcLk of ihc sinking Lusitani.i and I) J a friend inquired, Are you afraid? he rephed, Why should I be afraid? This is the Great Adventure. Going down with the ship, he soon entered upon that adventure in the country from whose bourne no traveler returns. But all life is an adventure, and not only as we face the end and peer into the unknown. Every day makes its own demands and may furnish its sur- prises. The world is still young and its greatest achievements are in the future, and it may bring adventures far greater and more thrilling than you have dreamed. Life is a commonplace and mere dull routine to him who is not awake; but to the one whose many faculties are trained and enlarged, unlimited possi- bilities await at every turn. No one knows the possibilities in the chance acquaintanceship formed, the choice determined upon, the decision made. Always we are at the parting of the ways, and while the future will reveal what lies in the path which we have chosen, we can never know what was in the other path upon which we turned our back. To enter an adventure and come through not only with a thrill but a trophy, one must be alert, courageous, optimistic, unselfish, and prepared. He who thinks about himself will be looking within and will fail to see the beauties and opportunities along the way. He who is easily discouraged will see mainly the difficulties. The timid soul will always underestimate his own strength. The unprepared man may see many possibilities, but will not understand how to take advantage of them; and only he who is alert can make the most of any adventure because opportunity soon passes. You, members of the Class of 1928, now realize that many pleasant sur- prises have come to you while in Dickinson Seminary which you could not pos- sibly foresee when you entered. Be sure that the same will be true of you in the life which awaits you beyond these sacred halls. It is not well that you should know what the future holds. Such knowledge would rob life of much of its thrill. Be certain of this: if you look at life in a big way, if you enter upon life prepared, if you come in the spirit of adventure, the twentieth cen- tury will be no less fruitful in possibilities than the centuries that have gone before. You have noticed the Greek word alctheia, meaning Truth, on the Sem- inary seal. It is hoped that it has been to you a question, a challenge, and an inspiration: a question, to know its meaning; a challenge, to attain to truth in word and action; an inspiration, The Truth shall make you free. Your friend, John W. Long. iaaJ ;iD s [Page 9] THE 1928 DART Alma Mater Come and hi ttiiieful lays Yonr happy voices raise To Dickinson Our Alma Mater dear, Thy sons from far and near Sing thee with hearty cheer, Fair Dickinson.

[Page 55] [Page 57] JD  [ Page 58] THE 1928 DART Junior Class History The Class of ' 29 c.ime into Uill-tlcdgcd existence just as October ' s infancy was beginning to herald signs of approaching autumn. The class was organized under the supervision of Pat Paschall, the famous leader of the Purple and Gold. Seth Russell, the dark-haired plumber from Avis was chosen President, Harold McCune, Vice-President; Anna Flock, Secretary; and Robert Pumphrey, Treasurer. The first assemblage of our class under the efficient guidance of Mr. Russell was for the purpose of selecting a class adviser. This task was delegated to Miss Dorothy Campbell, the new accession to the faculty this year. The selection met the unanmious approval of all. Navy Blue and Maroon were chosen as class colors. We were forced to bow to defeat in our initial athletic struggle for superior ability in manipulating the sow ' s epidermis owing to the virile skill of the upper- classmen. We avenged the defeat, however, in baseball. Although Dame For- tune was reluctant to smile upon us in other sports, our titanic spirit was un- quenched. In social activities the Juniors proved themselves the original efficiency ex- perts; Mr. Russell, our president, being elected chairman of the Greater Dickin- son Banquet Committee. The banquet given to the Seniors also proved a great success. Our class gave evidence of possessing both foresight and determination to emulate the achievements of the Class of ' 28 by electing an Editor-in-Chief and Business Manager for the 1929 Dart. Robert Pumphrey was elected to the former position with Mr. McCune as Business Manager. Immediately following Easter vacation our President called a meeting at which the Junior Union Board was elected. Kenneth Morrison was elected Editor-in-Chief and a very capable staff was chosen to assist him. We also point with honest pride to our splendid Outing at Woolrich Park as well as our other achievements and feel confident that our attainments will equal, if not surpass, the unexcelled record that our predecessors, the Class of ' 28 have left for us to emulate. 1D [Page 59] Isky-wee-wee. Osky-wow-wow! Let ' s give a cheer for the Frosh- Soph group, the hope of the future. They represent quahty not quantity, in- asmuch as their group is small, but certainly not lacking in pep, sportsmanship and all-around good school spirit. The Frosh may be green and the Sophs may have large hat sizes because of their swollen craniums, but great oaks from little .Tcorns grow; and when these trivial faults are overcome, we look forward to a greater Dickinson with these youngsters taking the lead. miiwm [ Page 60J [ Page 62] THE 1928 DART M. R. S v ARTz Coach Cardy has just completed his fifth year as Dickinson ' s Athletic Director. We reflect upon his achievements with a great deal of pride. Cardy has not only produced some fine teams in every sport but has endeared himself to every Dickinsonian, as well, by his splendid hail fellow well met spirit. In every detail Coach Swartz has measured up to the rate of an ideal coach, and it is with profound regret that the Class of ' 28 bids him fare- well. COACH SWARTZ Athletic Association The Athletic Association was organized early in the fall of 1927. The Association conducts the election of all managers and governs the awarding of letters. It also strives to advance the cause of athletics and stimulate a greater school spirit. Every student is a member of this association and should show the proper spirit by trying to advance its cause. OFFICERS Prcsh ciif Vice-Prcsiilcn Secretary Treasurer . JD Harold F. McCune Fred. G.

Always a speed) ' runner and a sure tackle, Lindy has proved a very capable leader for our successful aggregation. J.AMF.s Reed Manager The Sem was indeed fortunate fhis year in acquiring the services of Jimmie Reed, the blonde love pirate from western Pennsylvania. After ob- serving his stellar work we are firmly convinced that Jimmie is endowed with mighty fine ability as a manager. And he doesn ' t display it all on the gridiron either. Nevertheless Cookie and the rest of us appreciate your efforts, Jimmie. Thanks, old top. .JAMES REED, Manager JD [ Page 65] Red Grange couldn ' t be with us in person this year so he sent his proxy. Wiry, speedy — not only on the gridiron either — George, with his New York brogue, made a commendable showing at quarter. George ' s ability to slip through tacklers is about incomparable but it comes natural. Good-bye and good luck, George. GiVENS Oiuirterback After playing two years with a championship team Frank decided to cast his lot with us this season. As a quarterback Frank merits deserved praise. Throughout the entire season the lad from the Steel City demonstrated his ability as a football player and all in all played a fine brand of football. He ' s quite a punting ace, too. Clark Red another stellar gridiron artist for the Gold and White proved as dependable as the Rock of Gibraltar in many a gridiron contest. Fast and heavy, nothing evades him. The only difference between Red and a stone wall, is, that the former has brains. Red is a Junior this year, so we are looking for him back this fall as one of the pillars of the ' 28 eleven. ID [ Page 66] In Bob we have some local talent. Bob gave a splendid account of himself both on the offensive and defensive. We ' re sorry to lose Bob but we know that a fine future awaits him and that is some consolation. Gordon Bartz Rn ' ht Tackle Coming back to us this year, Bartz soon gave a splendid account of him- self in manipulating the old sow ' s epidermis. Equipped with weight, skill, and endurance characteristic of the Bartz Type, Gordon soon gave evidence of securing a berth on the varsity. To say that he has been a valuable player and the hero of the fair sex, does not seem an exaggeration. POGUE Left Halfback Ben, the sandy-haired youth from Maryland has demonstrated what may be expected of men from the south. Ben is a bundle of ambition, de- termination and ability all rolled into one, and is a fine example of what a fel- low can achieve as a backfield player when he puts forth some conscientious effort. We don ' t need to worry about you, Ben. S ffllL— I ;iD [ Page 67] Honus, a promising home town boy, made a creditable showing at the central pivot this year. Running a close competitor to the famous Hunt, a veritable bundle of energy, beef, and skill, Honus has made his first and last year as a fighter for Dickinson a huge success. Mover Left Halfback Al, another chap from the great state of New York, played a great game this year. Al gave us some fine exhibitions of broken field running on the home lot. Always capable, consistent and a clean fighter, Al deserves our leartiest thanks. Good luck and success Al. Hunt Center From away up in New Jersey came a chap that was destined to become not only a splendid center, but a great menace to any opposing team. Full of vim, vigor and vitality, characteristic of men from the great wide open spaces, Mike has evidenced his sterling worth both at home and abroad. We have no hesitancy in predicting a great success for this stellar lineman. JD [ Page 68] Fullback Sem boasts a real find in the dark-haired star from Pittsburi h. Fast and an adept at picking out holes , Herm won a most enviable reputation this year for the old Alma Mater. Anyone who witnessed his spectacular field running in the Schuylkill game can testify and corroborate that. Good luck Herm till you ' re tired of it. Frvberger Left Guard It has been well said that obscure places have been the birthplaces of great men. Characterized by an apache determination and consistent fighting spirit in the line, Fry has proved a most valuable asset to the Gold and White. All of the Marietta flash ' s success hasn ' t been achieved on the gridiron either — ask Peg. Marsh Kij ht Guard Marsh, the sunny dispositioned lad from the city of Brotherly Love has been as endurable and reliable as Penn ' s Treaty with the Indians. A former captain of the husky West Philadelphians Ed with his lovable line endeared himself to the crew and gave some fine exhibitions of his foo tball knowledge. Our only regret is that Ed is tarrying with us for only one year. ;jD j [ Page 69] Baldy with his splendid work in the backficid has done a great deal to make a wonderful backfield combination. With that persevering and tenacious spirit and a stick-to-it-iveness we predict great things from you Baldy and we are sure you won ' t disappoint us. Briggs Left Tackle Hailing from the neighboring state of New York with plenty of ex- perience plus determination and ability Stew proved to be one of the most consistent and deadly tackles ever seen at Dickinson. Always dependable and reliable, Briggs was one of the most important factors in a great many of the gridiron struggles enacted on home soil as well as on enemy territory. Good luck to you Stew. Neid Rii bt Tack l Heavy hails from Danville but that hasn ' t any significance in his young life except that it is nice to know the birthplace of a great man. Throughout the entire season Heavy was responsible for the execution of some superb plays and brought home considerable glory to The School Upon the Hilltop by his clever playing and ever-present fighfing spirit.  ;iD [Page 70] THE 1928 DART Football Summary Returning Dlckinsoni.ins coming b.ick to the old Alma M.itcr while Sep- tember was still in her youthful toils, found a splendid aggregation of gridiron warriors already laboriously at work under the supervision of Coach Cardy Swartz. With Joe Bechdel the Fighting Parson of Beech Creek, not to mention those other stellar heroes of ' 26 namely, Nye, Hohenshelt and Mc- Kay, absent, Coach Swartz faced a somewhat gigantic proposition in building up the Gold and White machine. But Cardy, with his bundle of football tricks, was equal to the occasion and proceeded to mould together an invinc- ible eleven. Our first game was with the husky Steelton eleven on the enemy ' s field. With Steelton ' s championship warriors playing true to form, the Gold anci White were confronted with some genuine opposition. The Steel City lads made a most commendable showing but fate favored the home boys and we emerged victorious with a lone point margin in our favor. The varsity officially opened its gridiron career Saturday, October 8th, playing Penn State Frosh on Beaver Field at State College. The fast-charging Nittany team proceeded to hand the Gold and White a stunning defeat by the pitiful score of 3 8-0. We were greatly chagrined by this defeat but stimulated to greater efforts. In the clash with the Cornell Yearlings the ambitious freshmen were forced to content themselves with the whitewashed end of a 1.U0 score. Bucknell Frosh were the next invaders, a team of veritable giants. Sem entered the struggle confident of victory for the neighbor boys had been forecasted as easy picking. In a clean, hard-fought encounter the Bucknell warriors discredited the theory and triumphed .3 8-0. But we were not dis- graced by any means. A pair of defeats somewhat dampened the team ' s gridiron psychology but there was a keen determination on the part of all to bring home the bacon in the next contest which was with Keystone Academy. Whether it was pro- phecy or superior playing is of minor consideration for we trounced Keystone with a 12-0 setback. After this fine victory the stage seemed all set for success the remainder of the season, but the hopes of the Gold and White were of short duration. ;iD [Page 71] THE 1928 DART On Armistice Day, Schuylkill College invaded our lair. The Collegians in- spired by the notoriously commendable playing of their blonde quarterback Emmett soon dimmed the chances of victory for Cardy ' s warriors. Despite the matchless playing of La Mark, the modern Red Grange who carried the ball a distance of sixty-five yards for the Sem ' s lone touch down, old Dick- inson was forced to bow in humility to an ignoble defeat in one of the hardest fought gridiron battles. On November 19th the team motored to Bloomsburg where they hoped to humble the Blooming Pedagogues. Again the jinx was in our midst and, the school masters took matters into their own hands by taking the desirable end of a 7-6 score. So ended our season: THE SEASON ' S RESULTS Oct. 8 At State College — Pcnn State Frosh At Ithaca, New York — Cornell Frosh At Home — Bucknell Frosh Oct. 2 8 At Factoryville — Keystone Academy Nov. 19 At Bloomsburg — Bloomsburg Normal Nov. 1 1 At Home — Schuylkill College 38 Dickinson Dickinson 13 38 Dickinson Dickinson 12 7 Dickinson 6 13 Dickinson 7 Inter-Class Sports As in preceding years, inter-class sports played an important part during the school year. All sports were involved, the Seniors, of course, being vic- torious in the majority of contests. The Senior-Junior football game proved a great success this year for two reasons. The 12-0 score in the Seniors ' favor was both of them. In baseball a keen rivalry existed, but unfortunately the Juniors proved too clever for their opponents much to the chagrin of the upper-classmen. We hope the competition between classes in the coming year will rise to a greater pinnacle, thus augmenting a greater interest in the Alma Mater. y fm- ;JD Page 7 21 THE 1928 DART Basket Ball Summary The fine response to the call for b-isketball candidates and the mignihccnt training under Coach Swartz ' s supervision gave evidence of a great team and equally great season. In this, old Dickinson was not disappointed. The initial contest of the basketball season was staged against the Sem ' s traditional rivals, Renovo. Playing practically professional ball the Sem completely submerged their antagonistic rivals by dedicating them a stunning ?1-17 defeat. The victory bespoke bright prospects for the coming season. Lock Haven, Keystone, and Mansfield were next victimized in fast succession on the home court before the fine record was tarnished by defeat at the hands of the husky Renovo lads — the first Waterloo of the season. Bloomsburg like- wise proved a great source of annoyance, the pedagogues being responsible for two of our lamentable defeats. Abroad, Lock Haven, Keystone, and Lacka- wanna and Scranton Business College all bowed to the superior skill of Coach Swartz ' s fast stepping quintet. The paramount feature of the season was the participation of the Swartz crew in the Penn Tournament. Coach Swartz had great hopes for bringing home the bacon with his court luminaries and brought everlasting renown to the School Upon the Hilltop by defeating the mighty Wenonah Military Aca- demy. Sem ' s fine hopes were short lived however, for the gods were not so propitious in the next frolic with Manlius in a most exciting and thrilling game. The final score showed Swartz ' s men to be the recipient of the small end of a 24-18 score. The season, however, was in the strictest sense a most successful one. BASKETBALL 1928 Jan. 20 Renovo H.

A consistent, competent and faithful player the Williamsport plumber caged baskets in all gamss, on all floors, native and foreign and from all angles. Bob is a veritable cage man and will be sadly missed when the 1929 season rolls around. John Kline Hoiiiis Guard Honus is also a native of the old home town, playing a wonderfully snappy game, both on the offensive and defensive, all season; the big blonde was always on the job. It was largely through his noble and persevering efForts that Dickinson emerged victorious in many a hectic encounter. No one who watched his splendid performance in the arena can discredit the praise that Honus deserves. William Gould Forward Ben comes from Hazelton. We don ' t know, at least we haven ' t been able to ascertain, whether this accounts for his clever ability to produce the goods a t the psychological moment or not. Because of ill health Ben was handicapped in getting an early start but balanced the equation as the season progressed. We are wishing him all the success possible next year with the Gold and White. UD [Page 75] Center Starting this season with one year ' s training under Coach Swartz, Fry who first saw the Hght of basketball last year, proved a most capable and efficient center. Hailing from the village of Marietta with plenty of pep plus ambition and a good supply of courage and willingness to learn, with a little more experience Fry will be an outstanding basketball artist. Nevcton Griffiths Newt Captuin — Forward Newt the acting pilot of Cardy ' s fast stepping quintet by his stellar playing at the forward position characterized by his marvelous dribbling, prov- ed to be the axis on which the team revolved. Captain Griffiths has convinced us that men of Girardville have superior ability. With his marvelous speed and consistency in making shots, Newt proved himself one of the most valuable cogs in the Sem machine. Harry Kolb Ni ' i Guard There are so many fine things that we might say about Nig that it is with difficulty that we know where to begin. Always notoriously dangerous with the old melon, Harry soon became famous for his long distance shots measuring up to the emergency in practically every instance. Always giving his best for the Alma Mater, Nig is justly deserving of much credit. s L [ Page 76] JD The Gold and White was especially fortunate in having an up-to-the- minute manager in the personage of Seth Russell the tall, dark-haired plumber from Jersey Shore. Efficient in every detail, and faithful as a town clock, the old Alma Mater ' s popular plumber and pipe decorator proved that his ability was not confined to the latter profession alone. In return for Seth ' s faithful and efficient services as manager of the Swartz aggregation, we wish to tender our sincere thanks. Frank Given Frank Cenfc This reticent chap who hails from the Steel City handled the central position in a most commendable fashion. Though somewhat small in stature, Frank showed up best when the going was rough, perhaps because of his train- ing among the men of steel. Given and consistency seem to be synonymous. No member of the illustrious quintet can be said to have contributed more faithful support than the up river lad. Bruce Cleaver Cheer Leader Bruce is our original radio announcer. Equipped with plenty of enthus- iasm and pep augmented by a previous year ' s training, Bruce has proved him- self an efficient and capable leader of the shouting Methodists. We predict a glorious future for him as a future radio announcer. ;JD r Page 771 Girls ' Basketball when the call came for this year ' s candidates for the girl ' s basketball team, under the supervision of our new coach, Miss Campbell, about twenty girls responded. Practically all the girls were new candidates as very few varsity players were left when the class of ' 27 graduated. Gradually the num- ber dwindled until there were thirteen girls remaining. With good, constant practice and fine sportsmanship on the part of all the girls, a very successful season was completed. The team played a series of five games with the Y. W. C. A. girls and won all but one of these contests. Elizabeth Moore, who hails from Ridge, Maryland, was high scorer in varsity games with Trudy Hill running a close second. Captain Olive Long, as guard did not show any spectacular work but excelled in all-around playing. Mary Hill was her teammate at the other guard position and was a steady, de- pendable player. Olive Curtiss played a fine game at center and was assisted in the majority of the games by Louise Lamade. Kay Class and Betty Brun- stetter vied for the side-center position and each was equally skillful along this line. Among the other members of the team were Pickles Heckman and Dorothy Long. At the end of the season eleyen girls who had fulfilled the re- c: i5iZ ■ _ S [ Page 78] THE 1928 DART quircnu-nts by playing fifty per cent of the quarters during the season received their letters.

N _ fe;]D [ Page 79] Junior School Basketball The Junior Basketball Team has just completed another successful year for the Gold and White. Although these lads are small in stature they are splendid examples of what comes in miniature packages. The diminutiveness in size was offset by splendid team-work, speed, and exceptional accuracy in manipulating the melon. All these five qualifications more than balanced the equation. As in former years, the Juniors functioned prior to the ' Varsity struggle as a preliminary contest. In every contest these youthful athletes showed a decided knowledge as well as thorough training in the sport. This was due to faithful practice when the gym was vacant and a keen love for the game. Coach Swartz and the student body maintained a great interest in the boys and it is hoped that in the future years the same interest will be accorded them. We feel safe in predicting a championship team if these youngsters continue to show as much improvement next year as they have in the past. Our hats are off to Captain Kilgus, the famous Stoke brothers, Red Souser and the re- mainder of this hectic and promising crew.

After a grand and glorious Easter vacation, about twenty candidates vainly endeavoring to dispel the after vacation blues reported to Cardy Swartz, each one ambitious to secure a berth on the varsity. Wet weather proved a handicap to Cardy ' s efforts to mould the veterans and new candidates into shape but with the coming of better weather which will eliminate this obstacle, Coach Swartz hopes to fashion a strong team. The squad is characterized this spring by several veterans and some prom- ising new material with previous diamond experience under the colors of other schools. For the receiving end we are fortunate in having with us the Danville flash, better known as Ed Neid, an old timer at the art. Heavy is also a dangerous enemy with the war-club. Poulson is also a promising young receiver and should prove efficient in an emergency. Stoke, Cassell, Cuddy and Wilkinson are the outstanding slag artists and look capable of producing the goods. With Dan Webster Lambert at first; Newt Griffiths the Girardville flash at second; and Stoke, the Blain accession to the nine this year at third. Newcomer at short, and a squad of fleet-footed and skillful outfielders in Given, Clark, Marsh and Briggs, the Gold and White should give a good account of themselves both on home soil and on enemy territory.

The religious secretaries are kept busy by institutions outside of the school which are under the guidance of the Y ; namely, The Colored Home, The Home of the Friendless, and Limestone M. E. Church. They also cooperate with the city Y and assist them with meetings of the boys ' clubs of the city. The Y. M. C. A. had their annual reception Friday evening, September 16th, in conjunction with the Y. W. C. A. Everyone enjoyed a very delight- ful evening of entertainment in Bradley Hall after which refreshments were served. The social events sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. were, the Hallowe ' en Party and the Valentine Party, both of which were held in the gymnasium. The Hallowe ' en Party took place Saturday evening, October 29, 1927. Prizes were awarded to the persons dressed in the most artistic, the most ridiculous, and the most original costumes. Everyone enjoyed an evening of merriment. The Valentine Party was held on Friday evening, February 11, 1928. The gymnasium was very appropriately decorated and this added much to the spirit of the party. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. placed a Christmas Tree on the front campus this year. This is a new function of the Y and we hope it will con- tinue. May the religious spirit of the Old Sem be ever outstanding in the minds of her student body. Their best wishes are extended to those who remain and sincerely hope that 1928- ' 29 will be a bigger and better year. _ m u w [ Page 87] [Page 881 THE 1928 DART Y. W. C. A. In connection with the hte of the school, the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. are very important factors. Together they held a reception for the new stu- dents at the beginning of the year and subsequently had various successful parties during the ' ear, among them, those on Hallowe ' en and Valentine ' s Day. Aside from its work with the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A. has had sev- eral parties of its own and also undertook the responsibility of furnishing a room for the furtherance of social activities and general good times. How well they have succeeded can be learned by inquiring of anyone who has partaken of their good times. In connection with their Devotional Meetings, at the beginning of the year, a beautiful Recognition service was held at which time the new girls were received into membership. Following this, every week, interesting Devotional meetings were held. One of the most popular features of the year was the study of the book The Christ of the Indian Road under Miss VanDyke ' s able leadership. It certainly stimulated our minds to a greater appreciation of our responsibility as Christians. Special music and discussions also lent color to the meetings. During the course of the year, two delegates, E. Rich and M. Cornely were sent to the Y. M. C. A. and Y. V. C. A. Conference at Carlisle and the splendid reports which were brought back gave us an insight into the activities of other similar organizations. In addition to their other activities, the Y. W. C. A. girls raised sufficient money to provide a scholarship for a child in India. Altogether, the year was successful from all points of consideration, in fulfilling its aims to foster those conditions which lead to the perfection of the fourfold life. ]D [Page 89] 1D m- THE £923 0, Theta Pi Pi PERSONNEL COLORS: M nooii and Black FLOWER: For;icf-Mi--Not Adams, Howard W.

We are also taught the ac- complishment of having the ability to criticize any play whatsoever. So far the club has succeeded, under the never failing, patient direction of Miss Marion Fleming, whom we all admire and regard as our ideal in the Dramatic Club. The popularity and progressiveness of the club have all been made possible through the untiring efforts of our club adviser. The club is quite fortunate in having selected as their officers for the year, the following: President, Mitchell Hammond; Vice-President, Elizabeth Brunstetter; Secre- tary, Jean Sykes; Treasurer, William Gould. The various plays the club has worked on this year are, Op-O ' -Me Thumb, Heirs at Law, and the Delicate Child. The club has started a new system of producing plays this year. It is that of selecting the cast and then appointing a certain member of the club to coach that particular cast. This has proven very beneficial as the directing of plays is an experience which ny individual, intending his life for theatrical work, must have. In future years we shall always remember with satisfaction and lonc ' nf our Dramatic Club at Dickinson Seminary and our Miss Fleming. •---— iqt;— - - [ Page 94] THE S92 DART The Patsy i Into the hc.ut ot .i in.in w.ilkcd Patricia and with her into ihc hearts of an appreciative audience was conveyed the lasting memory of The Patsy, the initial play to be presented at Dickinson Seminary by the Kappa Delta Pi Fraternity, under the admirable supervision of the Seminary ' s well known di- rector, Miss Fleming. The Pats ' , a three-act corned) ' , written by Barry Conners, author of Applesauce, had an extensive run in New York and on the Chautauqua platform, where it met with great success. The cast that presented The Patsy were exceptionally well chosen and gave evidence of superior ability and talent almost on a level with professionals. The success of the play and manner in which it was presented bespoke weeks of faithful practice, untiring effort and devoted attention on the part of the in- structor. Miss Fleming. The Patsy was characterized by many amusing situations and humorous episodes augmented by the various characters, chief among which was the high pitched Mrs. Harrington in contrast with her docile and amicable husband Bill Harrington, who bore her frequent outbursts of temper with patient fortitude. Patricia, the sunny, carefree daughter, was the idol of her father ' s heart but the despair of her easily agitated mother. Around these characters centered the numerous situations in which The Patsy was continually becoming involved and gave to the play the lively action characteristic of Conner ' s comedies. The Patsy, like most modern plays introduced the love element, the main thread of the plot. The complex consequences resulting from Patricia ' s im- petuous tendency to love and be loved, were more than adequate to keep the audience in a most agreeable frame of mind. From start to finish, the play was animated by a quick, humorous transition of laughable complications that won the universal commendation and hearty approval of all and proved the produc- tion to be one of exceptional merit. Just as Patricia won her way into the heart of Tony so The Patsy won not only the acclaim of the public, but a paramount place in those memories fashioned in the School upon the Hilltop.

Margaret Comely, and Marjorie St. Pierre were chosen President, Librarian and Secretary of the Women ' s Glee Club and the Men ' s Glee Club elected Howard Adams and Harold McCune to corresponding positions in their organization. Mr. Waugh conducted the girls in their numbers and Mr. Richey held the baton for the bovs and the combined choruses. The club made its first appearance in chapel on Armistice Day, when it rendered hymns and the anthem The World ' s Prayer. This was the first of several chapel numbers. At Christmas season, the club assisted in a vesper pro- gram at school and in the evening church service at St. Paul ' s Lutheran Church. When the Williamsport people were soliciting help to put through the com- munity church in town, Dr. Long offered the services of the Glee Clubs at a meeting held in the Majestic Theatre. Several other churches in town have been given appointments by the club, besides the regular Baccalaureate program. Pieces that have been used on these programs include, The Lost Chord, The Slave, The Viking Song, The Brook, May Morning, Dawn, Morn- ing, Even Song, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, and suitable Christmas Carols. The annual Commencement recital by the clubs will be a rather preten- tious one this year for several unusual numbers are being worked out during the Monday evening practices. A higher musical standard is being maintained than ever before and the glee clubs have become a big factor in the extra- curricular activities. String Ensemble One of the most Interesting new features of the school year was the Violin Ensemble, which took the place of the orchestra. Under the leadership of Mr. Harvey Waugh, the ensemble has appeared at various Recitals and Church Musicals during the year and has achieved a significant success. The Ensemble is composed of eight violins playing four parts; among the most popular pieces they have played are the Marche Militare by Schubert, Gavotte Moderne by Severn and many others. Altogether, the ensemble has had a very successful season and we expect great things from it next year.

Mi i r Page 98] The Dart Are the senior write-ups in? Was the school picture taken yesterday? How about the football section? No, this is no idle curious visitor, but the weekly Dart Board meeting in the History room, and the regular jacking up by the various editors of the annual. The greater part of the Class of ' 28 is on the Dart Board and has worked on either the business of contracts, cuts, write-ups, or engravings, and in that way nearly everyone in the class has a very personal interest in the book the class has produced. The Dart has grown steadily in every way since it was established and is regarded now as one of the time honored customs. Does this book come up to the standard? Will it pass it? The Dart Board commits its work to your judgment. JD [ Page 99] Waiters Here is a group that is hard to beat. They can carry anything from a teaspoon to a letter, hunt napkins, open windows or almost any other thing, and, above all, they are so quiet. Mac McCune, the boss waiter, has charge of the package room, phone, and the front door. Mac hands out more than packages, so ' tis rumored. But Mac never sends anyone else out to give parcels to the girls. Jimmy Reed is a deft young lad, but he only waits at noon and night. It seems that Jimmy just can ' t get up for breakfast. Miss Manley and Miss Kapp like him just the same. Beanny Adams, the politician of the force, and Clarence Martin, the adroit speaking training table waiter, have a private table when it comes time for the waiters to eat. Clarence just doesn ' t take any orders from the some- times too-eager trainers. [Page 100] ;iD _ M THE 1928 DART Van Bccm.in is an cast-end waiter and rarely leaves his job, which means he looks after business well. Getting on the job early is a habit with Wayne Stoke. Wayne is our star baseball player, both on the diamond and at the table. You should sec him catch a dish of potatoes. The latest addition to the force is Wilbur Schaul, who serves both Miss VanDyke and Miss Roth. Wilbur is a very quiet lad and doesn ' t talk to the girls much. The handsomest waiter to be found is Bob Pumphrey- Capable, atten- tive and bashful {?). Seth Russell, a very retiring (?) sort of chap, looks after the peace and quietness of the west end. Loud laughter and an - kind of disorder are certainly foreign to these boys. Owing to other jobs, some are absent at times and every day one at least of the sub-waiters — Harry Williams, Louis Wager, Bill Tredway, and Bruce Cleaver can be seen in action. 1 1 i rwr E . j : KRi  ip: HPKmn| « THE DINING ROOM JD [Page 101] Day Students This is the disturbing ele ment on the halls. That is, they disturb the teachers, but they ' re the spice of life to the cloistered inmates. They learn all the latest gossip and scandal and impart their knowledge in a lordly way. They ' re a good gang representing Billtown ' s Best and we ' re very fond of them. It ' s really too bad that so many of them are merely one-year students. How- ever, their source of supply doesn ' t seem to be anywhere near exhausted, judging from the many who frequent these halls in increasingly large numbers. May there yet be more! — and more! ;JD iii u-: f Page 102] Union Board The Union, as everyone knows, is the chronicler of our school news. Each month we look forward to the issuing of that very interesting periodical. We are especially proud of the poetry corner, contributed to by the school in general. Several commendable poems have appeared, and the talent along that line seems interminable. The editorials have been well written, and have been helpful and inspirational to us all. The exchange department has proved peppy, and judging by the comments made by other magazines, our paper rates very well. Of course, we are all interested in the Alumni department, and it is with great pleasure that we note the progress of many of our former students. The athletic section has been well edited and carries a fine record for the school year. Then we enjoyed the jokes, cleverly written, with an occa- sional insinuation, but always in the best of spirits. Much credit is due the members of the various departments of the Union and also the advisers for their efforts to make the book a success. We hope that the spirit of the future will carry on and further the work already accomplished. JD [Page 103] THE 1928 DART Senior Class History Like its predecessors, the illustrious Class of ' 28 assumes that no history of the School Upon the Hilltop could be considered complete without having recorded the paramount achievements of the Purple and Gold. Even in the infancy of its career in 1924 it gave evidence of possessing an unusual capa- bility for leaving an enduring trace of distinction. Words would fail to pro- duce an epitome adequate to summarize the actual accomplishments which four terse years have produced. The incomparable aggregation of upper-classmen were baptized with ap- pellation of Seniors while October was still in its youthful autumn toils. Upon a summons issued by Pat Paschall, the famous sandy-haired Irishman from Pittsburgh, and initial president of the Purple and Gold, all seniors assembled for the purpose of organization. Because of the efficient manner in which the class officers had discharged their duties during its Junior epoch, it was unanimously voted that they should continue in their respective capa- cities. Accordingly Pat Paschall continued to pilot the Barge of ' 28 with Elizabeth Rich as first mate, Mary Bryan as Royal Scribe, and Bruce Cleaver as manipulator of funds. Equipped with these efficient leaders, we began the most dignified and wanted phase of our educational career. Throughout its entire career the Class of ' 28 has been characterized by unsurpassed achievements. From the standpoint of athletics we merit recogni- tion and supremacy, by completely submerging the belligerent Juniors by a gigantic 12-0 defeat. A series of victorious combats instituted against our antagonistic basketball rivals, proved our superiority in the basketball arena. The majority of the laurels, however, were won by the feminine persuasion. Socially and scholastically we point with pride to our achievements and to those efficient members who have dedicated their best effort in making the Class of ' 28 the greatest in the history of the Alma Mater. Among our num- ber are silver-tongued orators, such as Pat Paschall, our honorable president; and efficiency experts such as Miss Jean Sykes, who has proved her competence as an Editor. A few have tarried by the wayside and will not graduate with us; but others have joined our ranks from time to time, giving up that superior charm of quantity as well as quality. Pausing to reflect upon the notable events of our class, of which the Junior and Senior sleigh rides are predominant, our memory paints a vision of trials endured, victories won, and old scenes characterized by happy moments. Judg- ing from the past, a brilliant future lies just over the horizon for the mem- bers of the Class of ' 28, the finest class that the School Upon the Hilltop has ever honored with its distinguishing mark of approval. mi UBm [Page 106] THE 1928 DART Class Will (Tl fs HERE AS, we, the members of the Class of 1928 of WiUiamsport jL Dickinson Seminary, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, and considering the uncertainty of life, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last WILL and TESTAMENT, in manner and form following, that is to say: Item 1.

(The top of a high pc.ik. A young Indian chief, standing on the peak, hfts his head to the lieavens, and offers a prayer to the Great Spirit. Ytiiuii Chieftain — Oh! Great White Father, look upon thy children with favor, and guide us through the trailless forest to a new hunting ground, for, Great Spirit, in this hunting ground we are no longer able to kill the hare, to spear the fish, or with our bows and arrows are we any longer able to obtain the venison. Give us signs, oh Father, that we might visualize the future of our braves and squaws in this new hunting ground to which we are going. (The Chieftain rubs his hands across his eyes, then, shielding his eyes with his hand, he speaks aloud the rev- elations of the Great Spirit concerning the Future given in answer to his prayer.) I see in the new hunting ground tepees springing up like the blades of grass in the spring. I see in Syracuse, New York, Gordon Bartz, our successful engineer, constructing a new section in the city.

The question was put to various Dickinsonians and it precipitated many interesting discussions. We asked Miss VanDyke and Mrs. Brunstetter, and Mrs. Brunstetter began, Well, it ' s friendly-er-oh-friendly — what? We suggested the word chats, and Miss VanDyke put in, Oh, it ' s supposed to be friendly chats, but it ' s mostly lovesick looks. ; Cornely says, Social is just a teaser. It makes you want more. She also adds, It ' s a time-honored joke. Fred Fryberger says, It ' s a lot of bunk, then amends his statement by saying, Well, I suppose it ' s the best thing under the circumstances. Dot Neal says that Social is the place that the teachers think is the only place that the kids see each other. Lambert supposes that it ' s a necessary evil. The Dean thinks that the immediate result thereof is a hope and the ulti- mate result is a disappointment. Social is the recreation afforded to those whose inclinations are toward the other sex, and my soul! There ' s never enough of it, ask any of them. Some- body says that without social and more social, the situation is one of two mad dogs being held on a leash just two inches apart. That certainly is terrible, when love is so grand. And so, to those socializers and would-be socializers who furnish the school spice, we wish a Greater Social along with a Greater Dickinson. JD _ S [Page 119] THE 1928 DART Vale T ciir Alma Mater, ii ' c, the Class of ' 28, jv jo owe to yon many happy ]oy-filled days, express our final farewell with the deepest and most heartfelt regret. Yet it is most fitting that what seems to us to he a definite conclusion to a stage in our lives, should have been called the commencement, for it is with the necessary background acquired in these time-honored halls that we venture forth to greater and better things. Therefore, in the event of this, our parting, we are determined to attain in the future that de- gree of success and honor which shall prove this present training and splendid inspiration to be of recognized and superior worth. I Page 120] ;iD THE 1928 DART Jokes A Scotsman and a Jew were brought up before a judge on a charge of drunkenness. The Judge, to PoUceman: What evidence have you to prove that these men were drunk? The PoUceman: Your ' onor, I found the Scotsman lying on his back in the middle of the road, tossing his money in the air and the Jew catching it and giving it back to him. Do you know, said the successful merchant, pompously, that I began life as a barefoot boy? Well, said the clerk, I wasn ' t born with shoes on, either. Peggy: The Lord made us beautiful and dumb. Fred: How ' s that? Peggy: Beautiful so the men would love us — and dumb so that we could love them. The house agent had just informed the prospective tenant that the owner would allow no children, phonographs, radio sets or dogs in his apartments. Well, said the house hunter, we haven ' t any of those things, but I want to play fair with the landlord. I guess you ' d better tell him my fountain pen squeaks a bit. Marriage is like a mouse trap ' ; easy to get into, hard to get o ut of, and the husband is the piece of cheese. Two bachelor girls of somewhat advanced years were discussing the ap- proaching holidays. Sister Molly, said the younger, would a long stocking hold all your wish for Christmas? No, Elvira, said the older girl, but a pair of socks would. A girl no longer marries a man for better or worse. Indeed! No, she marries him for more or less. McCune: I ' ve had a terrible warning of approaching death. Russell: No, really? McCune: Yes; I bought one of those lifetime fountain pens, and it ' s broken. ;iD [Page 122] THE 1928 DART Our cAdvertisers The advertisers in The Dart repre- sent reliable merchants and manufac- turers. It is through their courtesy and generosity that The Dart is made financially possible. They are worthy ot the patronage of Dickinsonians. UD J [Page 123] Miss Roth: The Drawings of these poplar trees are poor. They look as though they were staggering home. Rothermel: Yes, I know. Those are collegiate trees, and think they have to be that way to be poplar. Bartz: I love you better than my life. Gladys: Well, considering the life you lead, that ' s no surprise. Cook: Come, come, you shouldn ' t refuse to loan me money. One friend should always be willing to help another. Osgood: I know it, but you insist on always being the other. Prof. Cornwcll: What is the commonest conductor for electricity? Geo. Neal: Why er — er. Prof.: Correct. THE 1928 DART JEAN ' S DIARY November 11-12 — Went to house party with Ken. Had a good time there with Ben. Modern Surgeon: How ' s that patient with the mule gland operation this morning? Nurse: Not so well, sir; he kicked himself unconscious last night. Mrs. Skeath: How long had you known your husband before you were married? Mrs. Cornwcll: I didn ' t know him at all, I only thought I did. Yes, Jerry, Alice said that last night she dreamed she was dancing with you — You thrill me all to pieces, Joe. — And then she woke up to find her kid brother pounding her feet with a flat iron. Miss Kapp: Mr. Shempp, I am ashamed of you. How is it that you can never repeat your history lesson? Shempp: Aw, what ' s the use? My Dad ' says history repeats itself. Cardy (to new player) — You ' re great! The way you hammer the line, dodge, tackle your man, and worm through your opponents is simply mar- velous. La Mark: I guess it all comes frora my early training, sir.

Prospective Employer: But can you get up in the morning? Maid Applicant: Can I? Why, in my last place, I used to be up and have all the beds made before anyone else was up. Mama, I ' se got a stomach-ache, said Nellie, six years old. That ' s because you ' ve been without lunch. It ' s because your stomach is empty. You would feel better if you had something in it. That afternoon the pastor called and in the course of the conversation re- marked that he had been suffering all day with the headache. That ' s because it is empty, said Nellie. You ' d feel better if you had something in it. Before we were married, Henry, said the young wife reproachfully, you always gave me the most beautiful Christmas presents. Do you remem- ber?
