The Griffin 1910 7 dill' XQS9 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF PERKIOMEN SEMINARY PENNSBURG, PA. JUNE, 1910 Printed and Bound by SEARLE SL DRESSLER 632 Union Street Allentown Pa. A TOKEN OF THE LOVE AND RESPECT IN WHICH WE HOLD HIM, VVITH THE HOPE THAT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH PERKIOMEN MAY EVER REMAIN THE SAME, THE CLASS OF 1910 DEDICATED THIS GRIFFIN TO PROFESSOR ELMER A. JACOBY. PROF. ELMER A. jACOBY 4 Professor Elmer A. Jacoby y O name is more linked nor dearer to Perkiomeu Seminary than that of Professor Jacoby. Professor Jacoby was born at Coopersburg, Pa. He graduated from Kutztown Normal, and from Lehigh University in 1895. The year following his gradu- ' N ation beheld him as an instructor of Mathematics at Perkiomen. From this time forth, his advance was rapid and his career successful. He became Vice Principal of Perkiomen in 1905, and it is as this official that we know him best. He was a confidant and adviser rather than a critical awarder of penalties. The one thing which he required of all was truthfulness. No matter how small the offence, when combined with dishonesty, it was well-nigh unpardonableg any act, when truthfully confessed, was excusable. By his kindly nature and his sympathetic disposition, he rendered him- self loved by both professors and students. As a teacher, he had unbounded success. His processes of reasoning, clear explanations and logical conclu- sions made the intricacies of mathematics clear to all. He was married to Miss Iva Markley in 1901. In the fall term of 1908, he was offered and accepted a professorship of Mathematics at Central High School, Philadelphia. Though he is at Central High School, Perkiomen claims him as her own, and he is ever enshrined in the hearts of those whose stay at Perkiomen he rendered so pleasant.

Its growth has been steady year by year until now there is an enroll- ment of over three hundred. . W Mx!!! As the student body grew certain improvements were made, not 1'-2-wifi only to meet the present needs but to meet future growth. -'fl' 35 '-Y These improvements were always made with the predictions of 3, , ' the pessimist and the fear and trembling of friends. The pessimist is still looking backward and the fears of the friends have been proven groundless. The school has outgrown its present capacity and the time is approaching when further enlargements will have to be made in order to meet the increasing demands. We are eagerly looking forward to the erection of the Carnegie Library and we hope to see ground broken during Commencement Week. --' HEN Perkiomen Seminary first opened its doors under the present There is a spirit that pervades Perkiomen, which leaves its mark upon every student who enters its doors. On some t11e mark is plainly visible, on others it is only visible to the person him- self, but it is there nevertheless, and will show itself at times. This spirit, of that which is honorable, and noble, which is best expressed by true manhood and true womanhood, putting away those things which are petty and unworthy, and clinging to those things which make the true man and true woman, is the spirit which Perkiomen Seminary stands for. e In the class room, in literary society work, in all the activities of the school, and especially on the athletic field where it is most needed, this spirit is seen. Don't flinch, don't foul, and hit the line hard. The persevering purpose of Dr. Kriebel has been to make it possible for able and worthy young men and women of limited means to secure an education and to go to college. As the financial means of the School arellimited, this has only been done through the untiring efforts of Dr. Kriebel and the sacrifices of the friends of the school. Many boys have been helped over financial difficulties and taught at Perkiomen lessons in the building of character which have helped them to win honors in different fields of en- deavor. The scholastic records of Perkiomen boys at Princeton are the envy of preparatory schools the country over. These records are the outgrowth of the Perkiomen spirit, Don't fiinch, don't foul, and hit the line hard. 8 In spite of the difliculties of the epidemic of the past year, the general activities of the school have shown a marked advance. The work of the classroom, the increase in meeting of each of the societies in order to give more opportunity for literary training, the high class spirit, the school spirit in football and the bright prospects of success in track and baseball, the reputation won by the glee club, are sutiicient evidences of this advance. When fellows after losing a game of football feel so badly about it that they break down, when the side liners never cease cheering in the face of sure defeat, you are sure that nothing is lacking in loyalty and spirit, and such has been the spirit this year. In former years there were attempts made to organize glee clubs, but there was always one thing lacking -.a musical director with experience in that line. At the first concert this year our realizations exceeded our expectations. On their week's trip they made a reputation for themselves which can be taken as a standard for glee clubs to come. After eight years of trial Perkiomen again won 6l'St place in their event at the Penn Relay Carnival. This is the beginning of a track schedule which promises to give Perkiomen a recognized place among preparatory schools in this branch of athletics. It is the first schedule ever arranged for track, and was only made possible by the building of a track last year. Records will be established this year and they will be for the athletes of the coming years to break. Not much of a showing could be made in basketball owing to the epidemic of scarlet fever, however the season was successful as far as it went. It is also too early to give any facts concerning the coming season of baseball but we can predict success from all indications at present. No survey of an entire school year has shown such success as this year. In athletics, not in respect to the score book side alone, but to the improvement along all lines. From the classroom to the athletic Held our motto has been and always should be fair play. Don't flinch, don't foul, and hit the line hard. i - We hope we have made this, the second volume of the Griffin, in keeping with the general advance. Too much praise cannot be given to the class of '09 for taking the initiative, and their desire shall be granted as far as we are concerned in that the name shall be preserved. We tried to profit by the few mistakes of '09 and earnestly hope that the following classes will search out and avoid those which we made, bringing the publication nearer to perfection with each volume. To those to whom we are indebted for assistance in compiling this book, we extend our sincere thanks, and our earnest desire is that the contents of this volume will be received in the spirit in which it is given, that of good fellowship. May it draw closer as a unit the class of 1910, and may we as a unit set an example of loyalty to our Alma Mater. 1-Esse quam videri. i To the class of 1911 we bequeath the spirit of Perkiomen, Don't Hinch, don't foul, and hit the line hard. 9 REV. C. S. WIEAND History of Perkiomen Seminary N THE year 1875 Rev. C. S. Wieand of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, founded Perkiomen Seminary, a school destined to fill a large place in the ranks of the leading preparatory schools of the country. At that tin1e the influences X ,fig affecting private school education in this section of the State were unfav- lxl 11 orahle and very discouraging, but, perseverance prevailing, the school T, i flourished, and to Rev. Mr. Wieand Perkiomen Seminary owes a great debt of gratitude for the promising beginning he made of attainment and success. During the ten years of his principalship a large number of stu- dents of different grades were enrolled in the institution, many of whom occupy positions of honor and high standing. Rev. Mr. Wieand resigned because of his ministerial duties, and the Seminary passed into other hands. The school changed management several times, and finally, because of lack of suffic- ient patronage, was obliged to close its doors, until favorable circumstances should again allow the work to continue. After theSeminary had undergone several years of decline, the Schwenkfelder Church, at a conference held in the fall of 1891, decided to purchase the building and grounds, and open the school as an incorporated institution the following year. It was decided to remodel the building and furnish it with new and improved equip- ment, and a committee was appointed to make all necessary arrangements. Rev. O. S. Kriebel was elected Principal, and, at the spring conference, a board of trustees was chosen. The work of fitting the building as a modern school continued all summer. Finally, on the 3d of October, Perkiomen Seminary again opened wide her doors. Be- fore the end of the calendar year. on the 5th of December, the school was incorporated as a college preparatory institution of learning. The first year witnessed a rapid growth in the development of the School. On the opening day there were but nineteen students and four teachers. By the close of the fall term the number of students had increased to twenty-nine, and the whole year showed a total enrollment of ninety-six. a large portion of whom were day students. That spring there was one graduate, and commencement was held in what is now the day study. The fall of 1893 opened with bright prospects. The most noteworthy event of the season was the founding of the Perkiomen Literary Society, the fore-runner of the two large, fiourishing, and competing literary societies of to-day. The meetings were held every Friday afternoon at 12:15. At the Commencement of 1894 one student again graduated, but by the following year, there was a graduating class six times as large. The number of undergraduates also had increased, and Perkiomen's narrow quarters were crowded to overfiovrin g. Some good friends shook their heads, when, in the summer of 1895, it was decided 11 to erect an addition to the building. They considered the original Seminary large for a school of its kind, and thought the overflow did not warrant a new building. The addi- tion begun in 1895 was the present main building, and it seemed large enough to last for all time. Indeed some doubted that it would ever be filled, but in ten years their doubts were settled by the revelation that not only the entire main building, but also every available room in the houses along :the street were needed to accommodate the growing family of students. Perkiomen Seminary continued to make rapid strides in size and development. By Commencement time in 1902 the number of her alumni had reached l75, and wonderful progress had been made in every department and in every phase of school life. During that Commencement season the decennial of the reopening of the school in 1892 was cele- brated. Large numbers of alumni and friends thronged to the Seminary to hear the addresses delivered by John Wanamaker, Dr. M. D. Learned of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. J. M. Anders, Dr. J. M. Morgan of Dickinson College, and President Spangler of Ursinus College. During tl1e summer of 1904 the court between the old and the new buildings dis- appeared, and where it formerly stood was placed the present library. The old reading- room was converted into two pleasant reception rooms. In the fall of the same year a fine gymnasium, the need of which had been felt for a long time, was erected across the street from the main building. It is hard now to imag- ine how the Seminary could have gotten along without the gymnasium. Besides the ordi- nary uses of physical culture and athletic sports, it furnishes room in its dormitories for nearly forty boys, and accommodates audiences in the main room for Commencements and other large occasions. In the Commencement Annual published by the Junior class in 1894, is found the following remark made in connection with the newly-founded Perkiomen Literary Soci- ety: If the number of students keeps on increasing at its present rate, the near future will undoubtedly see two literary societies here contending in friendly rivalry. Ten years later that prophecy came true, and, in the fall of 1904, the old Perkiomen Literary Society was divided by the Faculty into the Philomathean and Adelphian Literary Societies, which met alternately on Saturday evenings. Every year an inter-society debate is held, and at all times both friendly rivalry and good society spirit prevail. This year both societies have adopted the plan of having weekly meetings, each assembling in the chapel on alternate weeks in turn. In the spring of 1907 Perkiomen Seminary was fortunate in receiving, after many disappointments, the offer of a Carnegie library. During the past three years, the con- ditions attached have been over half fulfilled, thanks to the subscriptions of wealthy friends and alumni, and it is the hope of every Perkiomenite that in the near future the longed-for library may become a reality. From a school of one small building and less than a hundred students, from a school representing but two or three counties of but one State, and one sending graduates to only one or two colleges, Perkiomen Seminary has grown and enlarged and developed in every way, until she has filled to overflowing her old and new buildings, gymnasium, and annexes, drawn students from thirty-five different counties in this State, from seventeen States and from seven foreign countries, and has sent graduates to forty-two higher insti- tutions of learning. If all this has been accomplished in eighteen years of the past, what may the future not bring forth? All hail to Perkiomen, her past, her present, her future, her alumni, her faculty, and her students! 12 Board of Trustees M. K. GILBERT REV. N. B. GRUBB JACOB D. HEEBNER HON. JOHN G.

Kriebel, A.M., D.D., was born on a farm at Hereford. Berks Ti -, County, Pennsylvania, September 10th, 1853. His ancestors, who were Llykvl of sturdy stock, came from the Province of Silesia, in Southeastern Ger- , many, in 1734, and were among the early settlers of this section of the state. In l876 Dr. Kriebel's father died, and large responsibilities fell upon the boy's shoulders. Thus early in life circumstances combined to develop him into the strenuous worker we know him to be. At fifteen years of age he left the district school, but did not however neglect his books. He prepared himself during the following year for teaching, passed the required teacher's examinations, and received his certificate. For three years he taught and prepared himself in part for his college entrance. In '83 he entered Oberlin Academy, Oberlin, Ohio, to finish his preparatory work, and in '85 matriculated at Oberlin College. Now he was facing the proposition of working his way through collegeg the energy and courage characteristic of him to-day brought him success then, just as they do now. He not only met his own expenses, but also hired a man to work the farm for his mother at home. After four years in college he took his degree and entered Oberlin Theological Seminary for two years' work. Dr. Kriebel married Miss Corinne Miller in june, 1891. Miss Miller had graduated with the class of '86, of Oberlin, and had taken work in the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. The University of Berlin was the scene of Dr. Kriebel's next year of study. Here he finished his third year of theological work. Upon his' return home the Schwenkfelder Church of Upper District called him to act as its pastor and as principal of Perkiomen Seminary. The church has prospered under his leadership. The congregation is scattered over a wide range of country, and services are held every Sunday in one of the three churches of the charge. Plans are being perfected which, when carried out, will give the people a new church home at Hereford, which is nearer the center of the charge than any of the other meeting places now being used. In june, 1907, Franklin and Marshall College conferred upon Dr. Kriebel the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Divinity. Educational work in all its branches appeals to him strongly. He helped to organize and has continued to act as president of the Private Secondary School Association of Pennsylvania. The interest he takes in Y. M. C. A. work, in literary work, and athletics, reveal him as s. man heartily in sympathy with the minor activities which help to round out the life of each one of us. None of tl1e many who come in contact with him from day to day appreciate his sterling worth more than the alumni of the school. Through his efforts they have been given an opportunity to get an education which otherwise might not have come to them. Their horizon has been broadened, their ideals have been bettered, and their lives deepened as a result of coming in contact with Perkiomen's head in the course of a few years, and often of only a single year of study at the Seminary. The purely selfish motive which has brought many here to prepare for college or teaching has often given place to the spirit of unselfish service for others, which makes any life great in the best sense of the 'WT word . l 7 D.

Hearty class spirit and large membership have combined to make the record a successful one, and it is with a feeling of pride that we now set down the incidents of our happy career. On the 22nd of September, 1908, the glorious class of 1910 assembled for the first time, organized as Juniors, and elected the following officers: President, George Short, Vice-President, Earl Cross, Secretary, Nina Holt, Treasurer, Robert Lewis. The first thing to be done was to choose colors, accordingly, on the 6th of October, the class selected the nicely-blending shades of steel and gold by which to stand dur- ing her years of onward marching. In a short time '10 pins were obtained and, by the end of the fall term, the class was supplied with hats, pennants, and dainty souvenirs in the form of Junior calendars, unknown to any pre- ceding class. The chief events of entertainment during the winter term were the junior sleigh-ride and the junior social. On the 19th of January, our first and only opportunity for an outing of this kind, we enjoyed our first class sleigh-ride, and participated in a series of interesting games and a sumptuous banquet at the Union House in Boyertown. About a month later we celebrated our first junior social. The gymnas- ium was turned into a school-room in which the studious Juniors, dressed like school children, recited their difficult lessons, and then went into a recep- tion hall where all enjoyed various games and refreshments. About the middle of March we challenged the Seniors to an interclass basket-ball game, and the 17th of the month witnessed the exciting event, which resulted in a victory for the Seniors. But we were willing to wait and see what another year would bring forth. Three days later, following the good example set us by our elders, the Seniors, we gave a reception in the gymnasium to the students and teachers, in which we showed that we had ability to furnish a good time for others as well as to be entertained ourselves. The spring term was an interesting one to the busy Juniors. During the month of May were held interclass contests in baseball and track. The Seniors were successful in winning both, the former with a score of 12 to 11, the latter with a score of 45 to 273 but the victory was hard won, especially in baseball, where they had an extremely narrow escape from being badly defeated. On the 11th of june, while the Seniors were on their excursion to Valley Forge, the Juniors, never slow, held a social gathering in the gymnasium between four and six, then retired to the lawn, and were calmly eating straw- 32 l .wwf 7 tix Lie, .. I' berries and ice cream fumll when their elders returned at seven o'clock. The next two weeks were all anticipation and expectation for the Juniors. Each day brought nearer the time when the competing, yet protecting, Seniors should be graduated, and the hours in which we were to show whether or not we were capable of filling their place. Happily for us we stood the test bravely, and a large representation appeared on Class Day to receive the man- tle. XVhat a thrill of joy went through the heart of every member of the class of 1910 the following day, when the Principal solemnly repeated to the class of 1909 the words: I now pronounce you alumni of 1-'erkiomen Seminaryf' Hurrah! We were Seniors! After a delightful summer vacation that seemed all too short, the Seniors of 1910 returned in September, ready to begin a year's faithful work for the glory of their Alma Mater. Many familiar faces were missing from the class, but they were outnumbered by the great throng of newcomers. Gladly did We welcome them On the 22d of September we held our first Senior meeting in the chapel, and elected officers for our Senior year as follows: President, George Short: Vice-President, George Horton, Secretary, Grace Enck, Treasurer, Ralph Gilliland. The first class event of the term was the Social, which occurred on Octo- ber 8th. The chief object of this gathering was to get acquainted with the new members of our class, and incidentally we had a good skate, several other games, and delicious refreshments. After a year's work as an organ- ization, we decided that we wanted a motto and a class flower. On the 26th of October we chose as our maxim: Esse quam videri - To be rather than to seem. Some time later the yellow carnation was accepted as the class flower. Before the fall term was very far spent, a committee appointed by the president conferred with the faculty, and, by the aid of their wise judgment selected a formidable staff of Seniors to accomplish the work of composing and editing the ' 'Grifiin. The members hope that the results of their efforts have proved successful. In the early part of November our Principal concluded that the Seniors needed more training in public speaking, and accordingly organized the Senior Oratoricals. After the class had finished giving recitations, we received the sad OJ announcement one morning in Chapel that we would be excused from delivering orations, because of our many other close pressing duties. On the evening of the first oratorical, Mrs. Melchior gave the Senior girls a peanut party. In every nook and corner and in every shape and form were -peanuts! That night every '10 girl carried home all the peanuts she could find. Oh, happy recollections of that peanut party! On the 10th of December the class held a second Senior social, particu- larly for the benefit of the football boys. The principle refreshments of the evening were nuts. The nicest valentine the Seniors had was a class sleigh ride. After many disappointments because of the weather, we were finally able, on the 14th of February, to go to Quakertown where every delay in the date was soon for- gotten in the joys of the dining-table, and of the gymnasium hall just before and after the basket-ball game fll. 33 Three days after this delightful event the Senior girls were entertained by Mrs. Kriebel, and spent a most enjoyable evening. Be just as happy as you can and eat just as much as you can-seemed to be the well-carried-out invitation. We all did our best. Interclass athletic spirit was soon aroused and both sides made eager preparations for the great basketball game. On the 19th of March the Seniors, in answer to a challenge from the juniors, fought a thrilling contest with their opponents, and won out 23 to 21. Soon after our return from our spring vacation, we received the sad news that,ion the 5th of April, death from consumption of the throat had overtaken Miss Margaret Singer, one of the most active workers of our number. The funeral occurred on the 8th of the month, and the class sent flowers for their mourned class-mate and a letter of sympathy to the bereaved family. The spring term is one crowded with interesting and enjoyable events. The interclass baseball game and track meet, and the various social occasions, stand out among the most prominent features of the season. As commencement time approaches, we look forward with the greatest pleasure to the joys that await us in that week. But we also look back and recall the happy times that have been ours during our stay at Perkiomen. All discouragement is forgotten, and we think only of the many advantages, delights and privileges we have experienced. And then, although at times we have longed for the day of graduation to come, we feel that it will be all too soon when we shall be able to say-we are now alumni. 34 Elin iimvmnriam MISS MARGARET SINGER Entrrnnvh Gilzum iillate Born March 9, I885 Died April 5, I9I0 REV. G. K. MESCHTER, M.D Svrhuul Birertur , Born May 2, l840 Died June 4, I9IO 2 MISS MARGARET SINGER Miss Margaret Singer Miss Margaret Singer came to Perkiomen Seminary in the fall of 1908. She had previously spent a year at the Millersville State Normal School, and had taught in her home districtsg but, always anxious to fit herself as best possible for her future life, she had decided to take a college preparatory course. She had been here but one and a half years, when, because of slight illness, she thought it would be beneficial to take a short rest at home. But she did not return, and on April 5th death came and quietly took her to her Father's care. By her death the class has lost one of its truest friends, the Philomathean Literary Society one of its most loyal members, and every organization with which she wasconnected has sustained a wound which is hard to heal. Yet through it we are taught to more humbly submit to our Heavenly Father's guidance, and, knowing her, we feel that she lives again in minds made better by her presence. 37 Class Resolutions At the regular meeting of the class of 1910 at Perkionien Seminary, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whe1 eas, On April 5, 1910, our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, saw it to remove from our midst and the activities of school life, to the life beyond, our sister and class mate, Margaret Singer. Therefore be it Rrsalved, That we bow in humble submission to the will of the Divine Father, who taught us to say Not my will, but thine be done. And further be it Resolved, That we remember with gratefulness to God, the life of our departed sister, her honesty, modesty and integrity in all her dealings with this school and our class. That we express our deep sorrow to the bereaved family, praying that in this, their hour of bereavement, they may receive all the eonsolation of God's grace. And further be it Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the class and published in the Perkiomenite, and the Griffin, Halsoacopy be sent to the bereaved family. 38 SENIOR CLASS URENE HEEBNER ANDERS, Fairview Village, Pa. Adelphian Secretary '09, '10 Y. VV. A. A. Secretary 'l0.- Optimist Modest and simple and sweet, the very type of Priscilla. The fall of 1907 found Lorene's name on CHARLES SNYDER ADAMS, Easterly, Pa. Adelphian- Optimist, ' But his labors are never in vain. This quiet unassuming looking youth has been working his way through Perkiomen during the Spring Terms. Through the winter he is a schoolmarrn, O, pardon me! I mean a school teacher. While he has been here he has won many friends by his sincer- ity. Perseverance is his motto, and his capacity for work is something that has not yet been taxed to its fullest capacity. the roll books and Hey-O , established in school as one of the furnishings. She is doing the Academic Course as a prepara- tion for a hospital course. Her highest ambition is to play the part of a white robed ghost in a hospital Ward. She was a mem- ber of the class of 1909 but a kind fate tided her over to the only class Shark and Math. Sometimes refers to her geometry in this affectionate strain, Oh, this is tor- tureg it will be the death of me. If quiet ways and a pleasant smile bring success she will succeed. 40 FRANK HARVEY PLATT, Bernville, Pa. Philoniathean- Optimist, He kept the noiseless tenor of his way. Frank is the illustrious son of Peter N. Blatt. He first made his appearance in the Spring of 1908. Pete, as he is called is very fond of the phrase- When I was single My money did jingle l wish I were single again. and often known to say it. Never mind, Pete! Are Greek and Latin his favorite studies. Well, ask him! They're rather difficult, aren't they, Frank? 41 HAROLD APGAR, lligh llridge N I Captain Adelphian Debating Team 10 Glee Club '10 Varsity Base Ball- Opti1nist. When they talkof their Raphacls. Corrcnios .uid stuff 'Brains' ' said nothing but only took snuff. Harold or Apy as he is fainiliarly known came to Perkionien alter graduating lroni High School in his native town. Apgar entered the Seminary in the summer texni in order to get clear of some of his sub jects so that his winter term might b easier and that he might enjoy the social life. He is studious, quite unassuming in his manners that to gaze upon him you would little suspect that he had a swf et tooth for the ladies-but looks are deceiv ing as I-larold was very willing to bring the 'trnissing one home on the Senior sleigh ride. After Apy has finished here he in tends entering Princeton. MINNIE KREIBEL BOBB, Lansdale, Pa. Adelphian Society- Optimist!' Love me little, love me long. Minnie came to Perkiomen Seminary in the Winter of 1906, and is a good example of the students who came to prepare for teaching, and after getting her certificate stayed to finish her course. Although her post-oiiice address is Lansdale, Minnie hails from the wonderful district of Worcester, near Center Point, where two or three other illustrious students at this school also live, Minnie is a good student and enjoys work. She expects to teach nexttyear. RAYMOND LEE BOYLE, Ocean City, N. J. Adelphian-Varsity Football '09-Capt. Basketball '10-Class Basketball '09, '10-Class Base Ball '09- Pessimist. What is remembered dies, what is written lives. Raymond or Boyle made his first appearance at Perkiomen three years ago with short trousers and a blouse and carry- ing a little teddy bear under his arms and accompanied by his nurse. Since then Boyle'l has grown considerably and he claims the good air and especially the to- mato soup has improved his lcealth beyond explanation. Notwithstanding Boyle's stout- ness and his ever pleasant smile he has shown his ability in athletics this last year so well that he has been made many good offers from colleges. Raymond is a very small eater, especially when meat is served. Raymond lives in Ocean City and claims he is the man that put the salt in the ocean. 42 WALLACE BREY, Pennsburg, Pa. Adelphian-Prize Contestant '09, '10- Hlndifferentf' In arguing, too, bright Wallace owned his skill, For e'eu though vanquished, he could argue still. The day-study will be quite destitute next year, since the students, eager to snatch a few moments of study in the shifting noon- hour will not be aroused and thrilled by Wallace Brey's stentorian voice re-echoing thru the halls in argument. He and Foster l-Iillegass have a David and Jonathan friendship between them, and when separat- ed, they appear quite forlorn. RUTH BROMER, Schwenksville, Pa. Optimist Quiet, uuassuininiz. a friend to everyone, Doing her duty the very best she can. Ruth is one of our industrious day stud- e11ts, after she completed her course in the public schools of Schwenksville, she decided to come to Perkiomen to prepare for college. Since her advent, she has been a hard worker. It is said she even studies occasion- ally on the train on the way to the Sem- inary in the morning. We predict much success in her college course. 43 EARL VAUGHN GROSS, Sterling, Pa. Philo. and School Glee Clubs '10-Vice Pres. Junior Class '09-Treasurer Philo. '09. That which has the brilliancy of glass has likewise its fragility. Earl first saw the golden light of Perki- on1en's star in the fall of i07, and since then has been with us to add by his presence and voice to school activities. He puts his whole soul into his work and sometimes his heart. He is a strong man among the feminine contingent for he always has an inexhaustible fund of choice conversation. This was especially noticeable on the Glee Club trips, where many a dimpled damsel was perfectly overcome by his irresistible sweetness. GUY HERBERT DIEFENDERFER. Auburn, Pa. Philomathean Literary Society Pessimist. Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you. Deafy is a very unobtrusive little fel- low and keeps his human anatomy to home, a greater part of the times. He is very seldom seen in public life and has very little to do with the female sex. Guy is noted for his great arguing ability as many anxious moments are spent, on the part of Upassers by in arguing over some trifling matter with his chums. After finishing here Deafy is expects to enter business with his Pa in the Knitting Mills. 44 LESTER IVINS DINGEE, Philadelphia, Pa. Adelphian, Varsity Track Team '09-'10 Class Track Team '09-'10 Indifferent. A penny saved is a good example to the other ninety- nine cents. Ever since the Fall of 1907, when he first cast his eyes on Perkiomen, Lester has taken a keen delight in the socials held in the Gymnasium every Saturday evening. There is some suspicion that Lester enjoys lectures more for the social privileges than for the subject. matter of the occasion. Roth will be sorry when he leaves Pennsburg, for it is Dingee's custom to patronize such a popular restaurant. I believe----ethat-e -among his many Christian duties, Lester helped .loe Pizarro make a living. I4 X A VN ACK DRISSILI , I ansdale Pa. Adelphian- Optimist. M Fashioned so slenderly, young and so fair. This bud ot' humanity was ushered forth in the village of Mainland. Her blue eyes and golden hair have won for her many friends at Lansdale, which she claims to be her honie. After sauntering through High School, she suddenly inspired that she would like to be a school HIllHI'II1. Hence she came to Perkiomen to attain that training, which we prophesy she will endow with fame. Eva can always be depended on to have the right idea, a characteristic that should stand her in good stead when the problems of a school marm confront her. She always raps on Miss Boker's door before she makes hers calls V0nci. 45 ALBERT WALTER ELLIS, Newark, N, J. Philomathean-Varsity Football '08, '09- Varsity Track 'l0. Please go 'way and let me sleep. Ellis is a heavy set young man, whom the force of gravity pul-ls down with a force equal to about 180 pounds. Among some of the oflices he holds is that of hall teacher, pro temporef' At seven o'c1ock sharp you will iind him, with his elbows on his book, at the table in Prof. Melchiorls hall. Albert is also Very fond of slumber and to see him down for breakfast is a very unusual occurance, for he is not an early riser. This year Albert seems very indffer- ent to the social life of the school, but since his fortnightly visits to Philadelphia, we can readily account for this. We are anxious to know what he has in store for us in the future. GRACE KLINE ENCK Leyqngton, Pa.. Class Secretary '10-Y. W. C. A. President '10-Chaminade Club '09,-'10- Prize Con- test '09-Winner lst Prize ,l0-Secretary Philoniathean '10 Optimist And through all the coming years just be glad. Miss Enck entered Perkiomen in the Spring term of 1908. To her intimate friends she is known as Gracious Her favorite name is Warren Her pleasant voice and winning manner have made her a favorite in ldramatics. After her graduation here she expects to enter Emerson College of Oratory, Bos- ton, Mass., to further fit herself as an able assistant in the ministry. She is altogether unassuming and has a pleasant way of see- ing every body elses' good points, but she does not hide her own loveliness, for hers are true eyes, too pure, and too honest to disguise the sweet soul shining through them. 46 EDITH ELENORA ERB, East Greenville, Pa. Adelphian- Optimist, .... .... As her bright smile, which stirs us all to mirth, There's nothing so contagious on this earth. She stands about four feet high, but every inch of her scant height radiates with cheer and good will. How she does hustle about, with busy, roaming eyes, and accomplishes more than the whole remainder of the day study. She has that peculiar happy smile which cannot but affect everyone with whom she comes in contact. She is one of that famous trio of Erb, Ortt and Herbein whose presence so enlivens the day-study. ELIAS K. FREED, jg-,, North Wales, Pa. Philomathean- Optimist, The smoke encircled his head like a wreath. Freed has never entered much into the frivolities, athletics or the literary work of the school-consequently we are at a los-s to know just how to describe his humble char- acter. He generally keeps himself within the sacred precincts of his four walls, except when he goes on long sojourns over the country. We wonder for what! We advise you Freed to arouse yourself and notice that, Time and Tide wait for no man. 47 HARRY HEIST GERLACH, Red Mill, Pa. Adelphian- Optimist And from his books, he raiseth not his head, In wistlom's paths he solemnly doth tread. Girlie was born in the beautifully sit- uated metropolis of the Perkiomen Val- ley, Red Hill. In his lirst years, he gave indications of that talent, which now startles the world. At the age of one he learned the alphabet. Two years leter, he was lisping Virgil, and successfully passed the Harvard Entrance Examinations, but he decided to go to Perkiomen. In 1904, he was offered the chair of Ancient Languages at Harvard. When he graduated from Perkiomen in 1910, he was qualified to teach Greek to Aristotle. Latest reports claim that he is editing an Interlinear Translation of Homer. I . RALPH IRWIN GILLILAND, Clearfield, Pa. President Adelphian Literary Society-Class Treasurer-Y. M. C. A. Treasurer-Bust ness Mgr., Griffin Staff- Indifferent. The proper study of mankind is man. The biographer looked at the subject of this sketch and sighed for the subject is truly a large one. Mr. Gilliland was born in the remote town of Pottersdale. Clearfield county. The foundation of his education was laid at Pottersdale Public School, Central Normal School, Lockhaven and Valparaiso University when he entered Perkiomen Seminary in 1908 where his sterling character was ad- mired by all who knew him. 48 ROY REDCAY GOCKLEY, Reamstown, Fa. Philomathean-Sub. Varsity Base Ball- Optimist. Men of few words are the best men. Doubtless Reamstown would have been unknown to the world but for the fact of this contribution. We know but little of Roy's childhood days but he must have been a promising child, judging from his work since his stay at Perkiomen, His chief characteristic is his determination as is shown by the fact that although he had a case of scarlet fever in his senior year he managed to keep up with his class. Roy will always strive to be a worthy son of Perkiomen. AARON ELMER V. GOTTSHALL, Bluffton, Ohio. Varsity Foot Ball '08-Asst. Foot Ball Mgr.

Bing, otherwise knows as Gotty is one of the most active members of our il- lustrious class. He has been with us since '08 and has connected himself with many and numerous phases of Perkiomen Life. In passing through the halls one may see Gotty at any time, performing one of his several dramatic and comic stunts which never fails to draw an appreciative audi- ence. Aaron has distinguished himself among the fairer sex, especially with one on whom Cupid so ably performed his task. All wish you future happiness. 49 HARRY KEMMERER HARLEY, Pennsburg, Pa. Adelphian- Pessimist. Of quiet mien and modest, his way he doth go. But appearances are deceitful, in his case, I trowf' 'Alf there's anybody who is worried about Women Suffrage it is 'tHat Harley. At, any rate, everything else pertaining to women interests him, so we don't see why this should be eliminated.

At any rate, he has been here, as far back as the memory of the oldest professor extends. He has two fatal weaknesses,-the one is a liking for Lititz Bretzels, the other a general at- tachment for the weaker sex. One seriously affects his pocket, the other his heart. He has histrionic aspirations and in co-operation with Wallace Brey will shortly produce Tony, the Convict.

Nothing can be said concerning his social affairs, those things don't seem to concern him, We know that some day we will hear of Harry as one of the great men of our country. 71 PAUL MARTIN XVENTZEL, Pottstown, Pa.

We are leaving with a sigh And our hearts now linked by friendship Are hard to tear apartg But dear nineteen ten will linger In each loyal Senior's heart. How we treasure every comrade Is more than words can tell 5 And our eyes fill up with tear drops As we must say farewell. There's a spirit that controls us,' We see it now and then. 'Tis the love for Alma Mater And the love for nineteen ten. We have played and worked together Through all our prep school daysg Now that we have been successful Let us enjoy our praise. Lift the Steel and Gold above us! O! raise them once again ! And with lusty voices cheer them For the sake of nineteen ten. 73 Class POCITI Wandering the streets of vision Soon we all shall beg Each one making a decision Of how the world to see. Our friendships will soon sever, Not because We wish them to, But because 1ife's problems forever Bring to us the new. Dear class-mates-loyal and true, Remember the steel and the goldg And if ever adversity comes to you Let her banner before you unfold. Sometimes you'll be as the lonely cloud That floats along the horizon, When all at once youlll see a crowd, Rise up, and clear your vision. While wandering thru the land of dreams We till aloft a ponderous thoughtg We strive with great and triflling themes, But cling to the honor that us taught. Yet there seems, to our class day's flight, A midway Station given For pleasant memory to alight, In our journey from earth to heaven. O dear, departed, cherished days, That spring up in our vision, Your morning light-your evening rays, Uplift each humble mission. Then may our Alina Mater Be our anchor and our guideg For by her gentle training We'11 hold a forward stride. -G. W.

CHORUS. Rise Seniors, rise Seniors, for dear nineteen-ten calls you, And blends our hearts and voices in bonds fond and true. In after years should the stars forsake the night, And should the love for mankind cease to be, Should oceans cease to roll 'neath the storm king's might, Still ties that bind us shall live thru Eternity.-CHO.

Especially when his class contains so many interesting things, as does the class of 'l1. And to enumerate all these in such a manner as to do justice to the class is a large undertaking. As nature breaks forth in the springtime with all her beauty, likewise the Junior class of '11 appeared on the scene October 5, 1909, after having elected the following ofhcers: Presdient, Robert Milligan, Vice-President, Robert Nlillerg Secretary, Nliss Bertha Shielisg Treasurer, Douglas Van Olinda. After the usual form of selecting committees, the class held its Hrst social on October 20, 1909. For this occasion the Gymnasium was beautifully decorated with class banners and colors, which added tone to the enjoyments of the evening. Various games were indulged in, after which delicious refreshments were served. ' One bright morning in December our class appeared garbed in their new hats and class pins. And we could have truthfully said with the prophet, Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. The class continued their class activity by producing the class calendar, which serves as a beautiful and useful souvenir of the class. When the winter term opened the class spirit was found not to have waned during the Christmas holidays. The weatherman brought us many disappointments before we succeeded in getting started on our annual sleighride. The jolliest crowd Perkiomen ever saw drove to Zieglersville on February 14th, and that's not all for we had a chaperon, and Chaperoness. Wasn't the Principal kind to grant us this privilege? But they were congenial and we could not have had so good a time without them. After the usual festivities which go with a sleigh ride we drew up before the Seminary steps in the wee hours of the morning, home again. The next, which proved to be the most exciting event of the class history to date, was the basket-ball game between the Juniors and Seniors, The dignity of the Seniors was badly shaken, when our resident, overflowing with class spirit, and with voice of thunder, fairly shaking each Seniors framework, called for each Junior in the dining room to rise and give a yell for Robt. Nliller, who had been recently elected Captain of our basket-ball team. Once more the strong class spirit presented itself. On the morning of the game, the haughty Seniors caused their banner to be defl- antly unfurled across the main avenue. lt was placed in such a manner as to attract the attention of all Juniors. As this was more than the spirit of the class would allow, the banner was in quick meter torn to shreds and trampled in the dust. ln the afternoon, both classes marched to the Gym. singing their class songs. Each class showed their spirit as they shouted their yells and songs. At 1 glance one could see that the Seniors had great advantages, especially in the weight of their men. But our fellows made up for weight by their grit and sticktoitiveness. The score, which was, Juniors 21, Seniors 23, shows of itself how closely the game was contested. On our return from Easter vacation, a social was held to welcome the new members into the pleasures and activities of the class. . Our Junior fellows are found in all athletics besides taking part in all the different activities that are connected with the school. Never again was the outlook brighter for a class, nor a class better htted to take the name of Seniors upon itself than the Junior Class of 1911. 78 4 L fa -aL... ,.,' 'Q 1.

Just so on June 28th, 1895 ten sons maybe ratherasmall number to form an Alumni Association of Perkiomen Seminary, which was only three years old. History however has proven that it was not too small. We have ahealthy embryo, the ten charter membersg their richestof albuminous substance-our dear and worthy Principal Dr. Kriebelg and then when members are elected at the rate of 70 a year it is surely being nourished and refreshed sufficiently. The membership which consists of graduates of the Seminary under the present organization in 1892, as are elected, numbers 488. Three meetings are annually held during commencement, an open meeting, a banquet and a business meeting. The open meeting is held the night before commencement. At this meeting the association is addressed by one of the members and favored by other literary exercises. After the exercises some time is spent in college cheering for the various colleges to which her sons have wandered. Here we can hear and see the sons seething with 'loyalty as we see them nowhere else. They pour forth their whole heart in the re- sponses to call for toasts. The business meeting is called the morning of commence- ment. The classes as they leave these dear Walls and are elected to membership of the Alumni Association show a great loyalty to their Alma Mater by leaving an appropriate and serviceable gift. The Alumni Endowment Fund is a means by which an alumnus can remember his Preparatory School days at Perkiomen Seminary in a small but helpful manner. Although most of the members are either in college or are just beginning life's work, still there has been a generous response and no doubt until the time of commencement the Association will be able to announce surprising results. The spirit and friendship can be no better expressed than in a poem entitled Alma Mater written by one of the students of this year. Let your memories linger longer Alma Mater dear. Every day we' re growing fonder Be we far or near. When we wander, wander, wander, Far away from you, Perkiomen sons' are loyal, Loyal, tried and true. 80 School Song I X X When the shades of night are falling O'er the campus green,' When the evening bells are pealing Daylight's funeral peang On the campus sward we gather, Sing the songs of oldg And we watch the sun-set blending Purple and the Gold.

When we wander, wander, wander, Far away from you, Perkiomen's sons are loyal- Loyal, tried and true. Comrades, friends and brothers ever, Each to each we'll beg There are bonds which naught can sever Through Eternity- Bonds of Union, bonds of Friendship, Bonds of endless Love, That were bred by Alma Mater, And by God above.

HW 11 Aw 82 Religious Influences X I I fin? fairs' r .Q E R K IO M E N stands for a great religious influence among the KQ HQ: f studentsg ofthe variousinfluences are the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., Bible classes, Sunday Evening Services, Song Services, and Con- ference and Missionary Spirit. 1 '54 QBYK The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. of this school were organized in 1896, and have been continually growing from year to year until now the standard is the highest it has ever been. The Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. each holds its regular meetings every Wednesday evening, and we are glad to say that the students, on the whole, take an interest in them. The cabinets of these two organ- izations plan the work for the year, and sometimes joint meetings which are addressed by outside speakers who usually convey helpful thoughts to our hearts and minds which tend to make our lives better. Every year Bible classes are organized for the benent of the students, which are conducted by members of the Faculty. Different courses are taken up both among the boys and the girls, and these are especially helpful to the students, since each character in the course is stuiied very carefully and thoroughly, and lives from the Bible always serve as a great influence to the minds reaching out for knowledge of the religious world. Services are usually held in the chapel every other Sunday evening, and the stu- dents are addressed by some minister or religious worker who is called in for the special occasion. The choir composed of a few students and teachers, under the di- rection ofthe Music Department, renders two or three selections, and the speaker of the evening always fills our souls with good, wholesome thoughts to carry us success- fully through the next two weeks. Every-one knows that there are such things as Summer Conferences for the Y. M. and Y. W. Christian Associations of the eastern United States, but no one knows what wonderful influence is derived from them until he really attends one of them. Last summer, the Y. M. C. A. Conference was held at Northfield, Mass.,and Perkio- men sent five delegates. Among the best speakers of last year's Conference were Rev. John Douglas Adam, D. D. of Brooklyn, Wilfred F. Grenfell, M. D., a wonderful physician of Labrador, George Wharton Pepper, of Philadelphia, and Rev. John Kelman, M. A. D . D. who is an Englishman. The six delegates which Perkiomen sent to Y. W. C. A. Conference at Mountain Lake Park, Md. certainly- derived a great benefit while at Mountain Lake. Our Y.W. C. A. wants to be better represented this 83 year than it was last year, if possible. Among the best speakers of this Conference were,-Dr. Tomkins of Philadelphia. Dr. Kelly of Washington, D. C.. Dr. Griffert of Brooklyn, New York, Rev. Hutchins, of Oberlin, Rev. McDowell of Newark, and Mr. Ellis of Philadelphia. The Y. W. C. A. Summer Conference will be held at Grand- ville, Ohio, this year. We hope that all who can will never fail to go to any of these Conferences when a good opportunity is afforded them. Watch your chances, oh, students of Perkiomen! It is this conference spirit which prevails in our Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. organizations. lt is a fine spirit, and may it forever grow! Perkiomen's missionary feeling and spirit is also becoming more of an influence than it used to be. Two of Perkiomen's alumni are missionaries in China, and quite a number of her alumni are ministers or doing some kind of religious work. Mr. Koehler and Miss Jones, the State Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Secretaries, both visited Perkiomen this year, and it is from our State Secretaries that we learn to cultivate the feeling of true friendship and kindly feeling toward our foreign brothers and sisters- Our Y. M. C. A. has supported and educated boys in Asia, and our Y. W. C. A. is educating its second Chinese girl. Obedience, her English name, is looked after by Miss Flora K. Heebner, our Missionary in China, who is assisted by Miss Daisy P. Gehman, also from Perkiomen. We pledged more money than necessary to educate Obedience, and so this year, the rest of the money will be sent to Miss Batty, a missionary in South America, who visited Perkiomen in the Winter term, and told the girls all about the South American Missions. We all sincerely hope that the religious influence at Perkiomen may continue to make each student a better Christian. li 84 Y. M. C.

The Association saw its hirth fourteen years ago, just four years after this institution opened its doors under t11e present nlanageinent. It is to-clay recognized as a nieniher hoth of State 111111 International Y. M. C. A. The entire work and activity of the Association is under the direction ofthe Cabinet which consists of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, as well as an advisor ff0Il1 tl1e faculty, and the heads of connnittees. This hody inects every Sunday evening and plans for tl1e weekly devotional ineetings, for successful Bible Study groups, etc, The Association efforts are directed chiefly along three lines, nainely, llihle Study, Mission Study, and a general discussion of Life PYO171ClllS,H at the weekly ineeting. The liihle Study is conducted i11 groups of ten or twelve, who are under t11e direc- tio11 and leadership of a lllClll1J6f of the faculty or a Senior. These classes inect every S5 Sabbath morning and the courses are adapted to the needs of the Students. The teach- ers und members of the group meet on common ground and a free and helpful discus- sion follows. The whole object of this method of Bible Study is to equip each one with a practical knowledge of the Bible, to form the habit of daily Bible Study and finally to bring each one into a closer personal relationship with his Great Teacher, Jesus Christ. Mission Study in former years has been pursued in a general way and usually in the Spring term only, thus making the course a short and hurried one. The lives of the most widely-known missionaries together with their work and success, were discussed in open meetings with the view of imparting some knowledge of the vast work and influ- ence of missions and likewise to awaken enthusiasm for action in this important auxiliary of the Christian church. This method has seemed unsatisfactory because of hesitancy in speaking before the entire student body and therefore it has been decided to conduct mission study groups similar to the Bible Study groups. The weekly religous meeting does assume the proportion of speaker and audience, but more often is participated in by quite a number of the fellows. Problems for which each fellow must at some time or other find a solution are here plainly and freely talked over. It has been the testimonial. Students and members of the faculty conducted the meetings for the most part, although we gratefully acknowledge the services of Rev. R. S. Snyder, of Schwenks- ville. Pa., Rev. Wm. I. Bennett, of Allentown, Mr. Tom Farmer, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Ed. Mercer, of New York. Perhaps the greatest reward that can come to a member for faithful work in the Association is that of being sent as a delegate to the Northfield Student Conference at East Northfield, Massachusetts. At the close of each school year half a dozen of the representative men are sent to Northfield for ten days to learn methods and imbibe en- thusiasm for the following year's work. At that beautiful and sacred spot in the pic- turesque valley of the Connecticut, associated with the besttalent of the colleges and preparatory schools of the Eastern United States and Canada, and sitting daily at the feet of some of the world's greatest scholars and theologians, one must exclaim with Peter, It is good for us to be here. At Northfield many a fellow has found regener- ation and made a decision for his life work 5 they may forget all that is said at North- field, but the personality of the men who say it, remains indelible upon each fellow's heart. The Week of Prayer for Students is observed with appropriate meetings through- out the entire week. For the past few years Dr. Barnes Lower, of Wyncote, has directed the meetings and his splendid addresses and appeals to lead the fuller life', have left the traces on Perkiomen's sons and daughters. The Young Men's Christian Association at Perkiomen , as well as at other institutions, affords splendid opportunities for energetic and enthusiastic fellows to keep the religous atmosphere of the school at its highest. Many have availed themselves of this oppor- tunity, and this is written with the sincere hope that many more may follow in their footsteps. S6 O I l .W.C.A. fiii E E OME was not built in a day, neither can the Y. NV. C. A. of Perkiomen Seminary be built up in so short a time. iii This association was organized in the spring of 1896 and it has been 1 growing steadily ever since. XVe feel as though 1910 is going to be the TU' banner year, but several years after this we shall look back and find that I W we were only making our foundations stronger. All the girls are members of the association and most of them active members, The weekly meetings are held each Wednesday night, at which one of the girls serves as a leader. Some very interesting thoughts are usually brought forth. The meetings are well attended and most of the girls participate. The association as a whole is governed by a cabinet, composed of the officers of the association, the chairman of each committee and an advisory member from the faculty. The cabinets of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. arrange for several joint meetings throughout the school year. The message of the speaker at these meetings is almost always one that makes an impression, or serves as a self examination for the hearer. H7 The joint cabinets also map out courses in Bible Study, which opportunity of syste- matic study is cherished by the students. Several different courses are offered and they are always interesting and instructive, because the number of classes results in small classes, besides the teachers are ever ready to give their entire self to the work. The Bible Study course is usually completed at the end of the winter term and Mis- sion Study classes are organized for the Spring term. The motto of the Student Volunteer Movement, The Evangelization of the XVorld in This Generation has crept into the hearts of some of our members. Who is ready to do a better work, than the young people's Christian associations? Who can spread a better iniiuence, that is worthy than a youngperson full of whole- some animation? The missionary spirit that prevails in our association is worthy of recognition. For several years we have pledged our missionary money for the education of a little girl in China. The first little girl that we adopted graduated last year, and this year we adopted another one. We certainly are proud of our sister, Obedience, Miss Heebner, who is a missionary in China and through whom we have adopted these girls, writes us very interestingletters concerning them. Our missionary interests have all been centered in this little girl, and the association girls have pledged more money than is needed for herg so Miss Batty, a missionary of South America, by her pleasant visit with us, has divided our interests and she can rightly claim some in her field of work. This year the remainder of our money shall go to Miss Batty. In the fall our new Student Secretary, Miss jones, paid us a short visit. How we do enjoy these visits! The Student Secretary seems to put new life into the association with her kind words and helpful suggestions. The annual social functions, the Hallowe'en and Valentine socials, given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. have been very successful. The proceeds will be used to send delegates to the summer conference. Last year at the conference held at Moun- tain Lake Park, Md., our association was represented by six delegates. This year we hope to send an even larger delegation to Grandville, Ohio, at which place the confer- ence has been arranged for this year. We feel almost safe in saying that it was the summer conference that has made our association work at school so interesting. That good spirit of the conference seems to become a part of you and lingers long. You will unconsciously spread that good influence and the splendid thing about it is- The more you give, the more you receive. Everybody that sees the slightest opportu- nity of spending ten days at the conference should at once decide to gc . lt vxill never be regretted. What would we do without the Y. W. C. A. ? It has done us so much good and as created such a pleasant atmosphere among the girls. Without it we would feel as though that bond of warm, Christian companionship was broken. To the girls who are going to continue this work next year, we wish it to be a prosperous one. 88 gf? M J Q ' Z f , x :fx J if .4 Qffff, Literary Advantages. EEE AKING into consideration the fact that Perkiomen Seminary is a pre- Sl , paratory school and not a college, it cannot be excelled as far as literary hx advantages are concerned. The student who is timid and dreads to hear his voice speaking will find numerous occasions to appear before 'vk so A' K the public and overcome this fault. To the members of the faculty and to Dr. Kriebel especially, who ff .,, ZX is a firm believer in the value of literary work, students are indebted. iff' ' For more than one of us after leaving Perkiomen, will in our later life be thankful that so much stress was put upon that necessary part of our education. The literary societies of which there are two, play an important part in the school life. Students are expected to join one or the other and thus become thoroughly acquaint- ed with parliamentary procedure as well as ease in speaking. At first, there was only one society known as the Perkiomen Literary Society. For a time every-one was interested but interest Hnally decreased and the faculty decid- ed that there was not enough competition. For that reason in 1904 the faculty divided the Perkiomen Society into two societies, the one adopting the name of Adelphian and chose as their colors, blue and gold , and the other Philomathean, and chose as their colors, garnet and white. Rivalry was increased still further by the class of 1905 offering a banner to the society which should win three out of five inter-society debates. Four of these debates have been given, the Adelphians have the credit of winning two and the Philos of two. . Every year, an anniversary of each society is held. A special program is prepared, consisting of a special speaker, music, etc., followed by a banquet at which toasts and speeches are given by old and loyal members who have returned to Perkiomen especi- ally for this occasion. In the years 1906-1907, a series of inter-scholastic debates was arranged, one with Reading High School and the other with Central High School, Philadelphia. The Reading debate was held in Reading in the Boys' High School, April 19, 1907. The Perkiomen debaters were Morris J. Wessel, N. N. Arnold, H. M. Eitzel and Rich- ard Shields. The question was, Resolved that capital should be compelled to settle their dis- putes in legally established courts of arbitration, ' ' Perkiomen debaters taking the nega- ative side of the question. The Central High debate was held in the Chapel, April 20, the day after the Read- ing debate. The question was the same as in the Reading debate. Perkiomen was re- presented by Chas. S. Reigner, N. N. Arnold, Major D. Griffith, James D. Stover. Both debates were won by Perkiomen proving the abilities of Perkiomen students to compete with any school. Every month, a school paper is edited by the students, known as the Perkiomen- itej' All subscribers on the day of its issue may be seen pouring eagerly over the con- tents of the paper, which is a chronicle of all the happenings, social, religous and athletic. The paper is not merely an interesting chronicle but gives the student an ex- cellent opportunity for literary and business development. 90 The GriHin is a book of interest to all members of the Senior class Last year it was published for the first time and is strictly a class book, giving a short account of each member of the class, of the various organizations, such as the literary societies, Y. W. and Y. M. C. A., Glee Club, Athletic Associations, etc., as well as history and views of the school, in short, it gives a complete picture of the student's life at Perkiomen. The Department of Elocution does its share in developing one's literary abilities. It teaches one to express good and noble sentiments and trains the student to use his voice and gestures in such a way as to produce the same sentiments in the minds of others. Every year a contest is given, the first prizes, one for the girls and one for the boys, being offered by Dr. Wm. B. Lower, of XVyncote, and Mrs. Howard Henry, of Phila., and the second prizes, volumes of poetry by standard authors offered by the Seminary. The lectures must not be forgotten for although the student does not take any part in them, still they are included in the school curriculum. Nothing is more interesting, at the same time instructive than a good lecture. The school has secured many speakers who are famed for their lectures which are always greatly enjoyed by the student. In the year 1909, a new feature was added called the Senior Oratorical, held every Friday night, in which each Senior was required to give a recitation. Each one of these special features has done its part in training the student in English composition, extempore speaking and parliamentary procedure and none of us can be too appreciative for tl1e part wl1icl1 these features have taken in our education. :war 1 91 Aclelphian Officers Fall Term, l908 Pres., PAUL IWEYERS Vice Pres., VALENTINE THOMPSON Sec., MAE HOLT Treas., WALTER PROPST Ushers, Messrs.

Friday evening, March 18, 1910 was a bright day in the annals of the Elocution Department, when a bevy of polished contestants, by the gift of gab, under the leadership of Miss Mae Bowker marched sol- emnly into the chapel. Comprising this group were our distinguished class secretary, Miss Grace Enck, our principal's talented daughters, Misses Mary and Frieda Kriebel, two of our worthy day students, Misses Ruth Kauffman and Florence Moll. Also five of our noble Senior boys, Messrs. Joseph Lorenz, Wallace Brey, Foster Hillegass, Harry Wells and Edwin Sharp. Before the judges and an audience somewhat smaller than usual on account of an epidemic, which was called scarlet fever, Mr. Wallace Brey opened the contest with Regulus to the Carthagenians. This was followed' by Miss Florence Moll with Franz,' a very pathetic appeal. Next came Foster Hillegas with The Rivals. The Worm that Turned, the only humorous selection was rendered by Miss Frieda Kriebel. We can still see Uncle Tom as he was portrayed to us in The Death of Uncle Tom by joseph Lorenz. We have all read The Trial of Rebecca and followed with much interest Miss Mary Kriebel in her portrayal of this dramatic scene. Occasionally we hear somebody say Heah I is Lord, Heah I Is imitating Edwin Sharp who took the part of Uncle Daniel so admirably in Uncle Daniel's Apparition and Prayer,'l A Soldier of France this strongly dramatic select- tion was beautifully given by Miss Ruth Kauffman. I cling to Him and die, Farewell Marcus! When we recall these words we are tempted to call Miss Grace Enk, Mertia, the beautiful girl in The Sign ofthe Cross who was ready to give her life for the Savior. Mr. Harry Wells gave the final reading, The Unknown Speaker. After a few minutes of anxious waiting the judges came in. Mrs. Edward Beecher Finck from the Nazareth School of Elccution, Philadelphia Pa., came forward with the prizes. With a few remarks she awarded Gold Medals to Merita and Uncle Daniel. The prizes for second honors to Miss Ruth Kauffman and Mr. Harry Wells. Uncle Tom was not forgotten-he received honorable mention. Everybody left feeling that the evening had been an enjoyable one.

Music is one of the best means of education that the world of to-day has, for its study is not only an aid to culture but it is most valuable in training the body and mind. As taught here at Perkiomen it is not a prize in itself but is a part of our great education. Nothing requires a student to perceive, to determine, to judge as does music. The most difficult problem in mathematics or translation of any language requires no more, if as much concentration as does music. Music's influence is great and refining. No form of expression more itly embodies and more faithfully reveals the different experiences of a person and the various rela- tions of nature than musicg for it has the power and personal utterance of every kind of passion Q is able to advise more than it reveals and to arouse the imagination of the one who listens as much as the one who produces it. Thus if music is to lay the foun- dation for future growth and appreciation it is necessary to develop in the student that love and sympathy for good music reproducing it or hearing it. Thus it is the privilege of all the musical students to perform in public at concerts and recitals now and then during the year-also the pleasure and fortune to listen to the art by those who have studied more extensively. There are many musical clubs at Perkiomen, the oldest ones being the choir and the school orchestra. About 1900 were founded two new clubs named The Chaminade Club and The Mozart Club, then last but not least the ' 'Glee Club, the history of which will appear on another page. The choir has been in existence ever since the beginning of the school and is under the leadership of Prof. Weirich. It consists of the best and most capablesingers of the school and renders selections at our regular Sunday evening services. The school orchestra under the leadership of Prof. Croll consists entirely of the boys. This organization is formed more for the pleasure and benefit among the stu- dents and appears occasionally in public during the academic year. The Chaminade Club was especially formed for the girls of the Seminary. It is under the supervision of Mrs. Weirich and meets every week giving some of its ta- lented art to the public on special occasions. So with all these various societies and clubs, Perkiomen should not want for music or its charms. All students have a part in singing in the devotional exercises in the Chapel every morning. Thus the aim is to give those especially gifted in music an op- portunity to develop and show their powers and to arouse in the school a lasting love and appreciation for the great art. 105 The Giee Club EEK!! Probably no form of recreation or entertainment provided at school gives so much genuine enjoyment to as great a number as the singing of the Glee Club does. This year has seen a big improvement over the work of former seasons along this line. This is largely due to our having on the faculty a man of marked ability both as a musical critic and as director. Prof. McHenry deserves a generous share of the appreciation of the school for the success of the club this year. The season opened with a concert at Green Lane on the evening of January 29th. The large audience which greeted the club was delighted with the program, as the frequent encores proved. The next engagement was at Quakertown on February Sth. Other entertainments of a different kind were being given in town on the same night, but, thanks to the loyal support of Perkiomen Alumni, a fair sized audience was present. The fact that the Quakertown people have asked for a second engagement shows how well they were pleased with the concert. The home concert was given on Friday evening, Febrnary 18th, before the student body and friends who showed their satisfaction with the work of the boys by repeatedly calling for encores. The applause which greeted Mr. Short's readings and the violin solos of Mr. Lewis proved them to be as popular as ever. Engagements followed at Worcester, Perkasie, Harleysville, Lehighton, and Palmertown. During the Easter vacation the club sang at Weatherly, Mauch Chunk Summit Hill, Hamburg, Lititz, Womelsdorf, and Phoenixville, the home of Prof. C. L. S. Raby. The trip was a success and brought much well-deserved credit to the organiz- ation and its director. On Friday night, April 22nd, the club sang at East Greenville. On Commence- ment evening they joined with the Elocution Department in an entertainment given in the Gymnasium. Perkiomen has every reaeon to feel proud of the success of the club during the year. With Prof. McHenry among us again next year we can hope for still more im- provement in the work of the boys and a most successful season for 1911. FX x.J CLUB GLEE Giee Club E E EE OFFICERS E. V.

MONTFORT IMIELCHIOR li 114 Athletics E IE E N THE PAST two years athletics at Perkiomen have made wonderful progress both in spirit as shown by the student body and added 'll' facilities which aid athletics in all its branches. We may look at mxgzu raw, athletics at Perkiomen in a somewhat different attitude and claim E'e.'!-Efrii-5'-'-f' that it stands at only one level but we must consider that our players work together but a short time and are not able to give that character- ., 'ij istic which is essential to success,-team work. Perkiomen turns out ,QM ' wonderful teams in a very short time, considering the hand-i-caps '::'4: and the end of the season usually brings us success and satisfaction. A never give up spirit prevails throughout the entire year which means that Perki- omen will take and hold her proper place in the athletic world. Our success this year confirms the quality of the Perkiomen Spirit. At the open- ing of our football season a sufiicient number of candidates reported on the football field to make three teams, and the enthusiasm that prevailed would have been a credit to any college. It is as one of the old students exclaimed, Well I haven't seen as much spirit and enthusiasm since I've been here, as there is this year. From the scorecard side the season was not a success, but in place of that was instilled in every fellow the spirit to fight harder in a losing game. In this light considering the games put up by our boys, we had s most successful season. The same spirit prevailed throughout the basket ball, track and baseball seasons. Candidates for the different teams were numerous. The epidemic of scarlet fever seriously interfered with the basketball season, many games being cancelled. The installing of the track last year gave us our first chance to arrange a track and field schedule. Never before has such an array of candidates for this branch of athletics reported to the coach's first call. That the team will have a successful season is needless to predict, as their showing at Penn and Swathmore will attest. Perkiomen has taken her proper place among other schools and it is to the following Perkiomenites to hold that place. If spirit alone will do it we need have no fear of the future. The baseball season bids fair to be successful. A large number of men have reported to the coach and it remains to develop the necessary team work. Never has an athletic year which is drawing to a close, given more satisfaction in all respects than the season of '09-'10. May the year to follow eclipse this, our most successful year. 115 W. K.

A. Schultz. A fee of one dollar was charged to all who wished to join. This was for the purpose of providing new courts, backstops and repairing old courts, which the school permitted the Association to use. Thus seven nne courts were fitted for use. An open tournament was held and Mr. Norris was the winner. A team was picked and sent to Princeton to compete with the best schools in the eastern part of the country. This was their nrst attempt and they did very well and stayed in the tournament to the semi-finals. Two tournaments were held with Phoenixville High School each winning one. At the end of the Spring Term the following ofncers were elected for the ensuing year President, Addison Kriebel g Vice President, George Short g Secretary, Grace Enck 3 Man ager, Arthur Schultz. Mr. Short was compelled to resign because of too much work and Clinton Snyder was elected to take his place. Every day the courts are crowded and the prospects for a team this year are tine. Meets are being arranged with preparatory and high schools. The courts are being im- proved and everything is in fine shape for a successful season. The Athletic Association decided to award the school emblem to winners in tourna- ments, thus adding new interest to the sport and placing it on a par with the other school activities. Tennis is a clean, wholesome game and affords great exercise and the founders of the Association are to be congratulated on the work they have accomplished. A very bright future for the Association is predicted. 126 YQEL JV GYMNASIUM Rm RMK RMU k ,X Sign. ..?, ,x X, X, M VXXG4 Jas ? ffl X 1 ! 1--F S ef we Al Q-Z ,S , G1 Q.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over Prof. McHenry's classic books which cost ten cents or moreg While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping , As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 'Tis some bummer didl mutter, some late visitor Entreating entrance at my chamber door, Only this and nothing more. How distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, And the dim, unshaded 'lectric light grew dimmer more and more. Vainly did I fear the morrow, for no pony could I borrow, And I gazed at Hunk in horror, which stared me my face before, Gazed at stern and astere Hartman, who stared me my face before, Gazed at him in fearful awe. Then my book at my chum hurling, who sat there his curls curling, Prof.'t said I or student, truly your forgiveness I emplore, But the fact is I was napping and so gently you came rapping And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you 9 herel opened wide the door, ln stepped Hassler, no one more. Started then when thus he entered, all my thoughts on him then centered. And behind him then I ventured, and I lightly closed the door. Not the least observance made he, not a moment stopped or stayed he, But with these words he addressed me, and his thoughts he did out pour, Joyous words forevermore. Let us now from this place starting, from these dismal walls departing, Go out smoking, and our troubles in a social glass outpourf' Lightly down the steep steps treading, cloth under our feet outspreading, Both our hearts within us beating, through the window ourselves we bore, Neither Prof. nor student meeting, through the window ourselves we bore This we did, and nothing more. Then to Roth's our footsteps turning, both our hearts within us burning, That dismal school behind us spurning, through the darkness to the store. A joyful cup then we two quafhng, mingled with our happy laughing, Homeward then our footsteps turning, to our rooms ourselves we bore Like weary birds who in the winter to the southland quickly soar, Then we slept g the clock struck four. On the morn from my bed turning my weary eyes for more sleep yearning, On the table lay a note, which filled my heart with dread and awe. Then on the dire contents musing, therel sat the note perusing, And I rose in abject terror, for these words the cruel note bore, Come and see me at the ofhce at twelve hfteen or before. This it said and nothing more. When at noon the entrance entering, Nlelchior's eyes on me were centering 148 But no word 'pon me bestowing, down were my eyes on the floor. But at last the silence breaking, my poor soul he set a quaking, With the penalty outbreaking, did he freeze my bosom's core. Night-study, deprived, and campussedf' this for bumming at Roth's store. Must l serve-forevermore. Prophet, said l mm of wonders, prophet still as heaven thunders, By that heaven that bends above us, tell me truly, l implore, Tell this soul with penalties laden, how by word from man or maiden, Thou this mystery didst discover, which in my breast was secure. And his brow grew dark as thunder, as he pointed to the door, And he answered Nevermore. Ani the sentence, nevers werving, l am serving, still am serving. And the penalties piled upon me, crush my spirit more and more, But when at last my term is ended, when this agony is suspended, Though the tempters crowd around me, and with lures they do surround me, From my seat they shall not move me, though with tearstheir eyes brim 0 'er, And l'll go bumming-nevermore.

'LJ' Class Will E ll! El We the honorable class of 1910 of Perkiomen Seminary in the county of Montgomey, State of Penna., in the United States of North America, being of sound mind and body, realizing that, as our graduation is approaching, such disposition of property both personal and real, must be made, as shall be deemed advisible by us, do here- by make this, our last will and testament, to wit : To any class which shall deem itself worthy, we give and bequeath our motto, col- ors, and Bowers, which we fondly cherished during the past year, and which we hope the aforesaid class will not disgrace. To the lower classes we bequeath our good name and regulation which far surpasses that of any of our predecessors. To the honorable members of the faculty, who have guided us along the flowery path of knowledge to graduation, we give, devise and bequeath our perpetual gratitude. We also leave to their care the other classes, who we have reason to believe are very un- wieldly and rebellious. We do hereby give to all present lovers and future couples our favorite places of tete-a-tetes, namely the places where they are sure they will find the most pleasant and charming. The splendid forensic talent displayed by members of our class who were never in- consistent with the rectitude of their intentions We do hereby bequeath to the juniors in consideration of their duties next year. Our Yankee ingenuity in regard to the solu- tion of all ditlicult problems is left to any person or persons who may stand in need of the same hereafter. The admirable athletic record attained by us, we bestow upon all future classes in the hope that by following our examples, they will be able to bring glory and credit to dear old Perky. To lazy and indifferent students we advise our knowledge of trapping. Our pure and spotless career we bestow upon all offenders of the school in the hope thatthe same constantly confronting them will Krebelize their hearts and cause them to turn into the straight and narrow road. To the pupils of the entire school we bequeath our integrity and virtue, desiring that they by using the same to good advantage, will at length become as pure as the very atmosphere we breathe, and as righteous as we, their predecessors. All other class property, either personal or real, which may have escaped our obser- vation, may be distributed according to law. We do hereby sign, seal, publish and de- clare this as our last will and testament, being assembled in the chapel, on this twenty- third day of june in the year of our Lord, nineteen ten. Witnesses . Roar. MILLIGAN, Pres. of Class, Roar. MILLER, Vice Pres. of Class. Executor Prof. D. MONTFORD MELCHIOR, A. M., Vice Principal. 161 Senior Rhetoricals E IE El One morning, early in the fall term our principal announced in Chapel, that all Se- niors were required to give a reading and to write and deliver an oration, before gradu- ating. From remarks after Chapel that morning no one seemed to take the subject seriously, except a few who thought they might be able to be excused or substitute it for literary society work. Boyle would prefer night study. Morrisey's opinion is biased, but Diefenderfer's evidently isn't when he says Away with it . According to Saunders it is a quite social event while Robbins complains ' 'Too much noise. Lewis says, It ought to be extended the entire evening, No night study. Hillyer con- siders it all right, so does Short. Melick says, No time for it. In every hall you could hear Miss Morrison's voice saying, I can never do it . Miss Enck and Miss Roush thought they would be nervous too. Miss Anders and Sharp said, We'll be coons while many called it a barbarous custom. The only advantage Hillegass and Brey could see was that it is a good training for the oratory students. There were a few who were mildly sarcastic, but this was only on the surface. In spite of it all it was a good thing.
