Editorials management, the enrollment contained but nineteen students. 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
