The Oak TO DR. J. J. SAVITZ A FRIEND DEVOTED TO OUR BEST INTERESTS WE. THE CLASS OF NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR GRATEFULLY DEDICATE THIS FIRST ISSUE OF THE OAK DR. SAVITZ ' S MESSAGE DEAR SENIORS: The Principal and Faculty of the Glass- boro Normal School congratulate you on the completion of your course and be- speak for you a hearty welcome on the part of the members of the teaching pro- fession and the parents of the boys and girls you will be privileged to teach. Comparatively few students have been accorded the opportunity of enjoying the privileges and sharing the responsibilities of establishing a new Normal School. Your hearty co-operation in all the ac- tivities of the year, the organization and dedication of the school, the formation of literary societies and special interest clubs the setting of standards of scholarship and conduct, and the development of an un- usually fine school spirit has been most gratifying to all in authority. The Faculty express the sincere hope that the experiences of the year have de- veloped those qualities of mind and heart which will enable you to open the way of life to the young and to arouse the im- pulse to walk therein. That you may go forth from this school into a life of industry, service, and power is the sincere wish of your principal and friend. J. J. SAVITZ. ODE Fair Normal, we greet thee ; all praise to thy name ; Thy banner unfurls to the breeze. Thy children salute thee, and pledge to thy fame. As soldiers who drini to the lees. All about thee arise the first temples of Cxod ; Lifting high leafy arms to the sky ; And the flowers that bloom in the green of the sod. Seem to love thee too fondly to die. ' Loved school, it is thine to impart to thy youth The wisdom within thy fair walls : May we daily teach others, with courage and truth. The lessons we learn in thy halls. Thou art more than a plan ; thou art more than cold stone; Thou are Spirit, and Beauty, and Might. And the standards we raise in the years ' neath thy dome. Are the standards for which we shall fight. A. P. SCHAIBLE, Sr. IL 10 DPw. J. J. SAVITZ, Principal LOUISE R. AMSDEN DOROTHY L. ARNOLD LILLIAN A. CHAMBERS MARION G. CLARK FLORENCE C. DARE LOUISE J.

RUTH MARSH, Treasurer CLASS HISrORY THE SENIOR I CLASS On the twenty-ninth day of June 1923 β thirty-three especially excited and palpita- ting Juniors of the Trenton Normal School were transformed into thirty-three especi- ally jubilant and exalted Seniors. Why especially? Two short months told the tale. On the following September foui ' th, trains from all directions deposited these same thirty-three Seniors al an imposing railroad station just fifty-six miles south of the State ' s Capital. The sign swinging from the roof of said station proclaimed the metrcpolis of Glassboro. All eyes were turned expectantly tOM-ard a point not far away. There across a broad field, backed by a glorious wood and approached by a walk shaded by huge oaks, stretched our dream-corne-ti ' ueβ the Glassboro Normal School. From that mo- ment we have loved it β the p-re -t whito doorway, the imposing tower, the vast length and breadth of our deai school. And even better β the acres and acres of ground, the big trees, the long driveway β everything so big and open and natural. To an already imposing assemblage from Trenton were added three others from diflferent parts of the state. So we began our Senior year, thirty-six in num- ber, electing for our chief executive Miss Blanche Eppler. One afternoon in the early fall, we went on a Doggie Roast taking Dr. and Mrs. Savitz, the faculty, a wagon load of hot dogs and some bathing suits of a few dar- ing souls. An uproarious time was en- joyed by all. The chief feature of the af- ternoon was contributed by members of the faculty. Miss Herckner and Mr. Prosch enjoyed their usual passage of wits in a word battle, causing all to go into hysterics and to be revived with a hot dog. In fact, the faculty had to be revived so often that we considered sending Mr. San- gree back for more dogs so that the pooi Seniors would have a chance. Everyone went home liking everyone else and the eff ' ect has never worn off. Our next public appearance was in a di ' amatic line. We became kindergarten- ers learning our nursery rhymes. The two main features were when Pansy Dilks jigged and our own little Mary McCabe how-do-you-doed and how-do-you-doed and how-do-you-doed again. The first dance in the school was given by our class. We did then and have since received strong commendation for its com- plete success. We have all felt however, .that this praise belongs to Miss Clarke whose wise and whole-lhearted guidance and help have been ours through thick and thin all year. We love our Faculty Advisor The Senior Class also take pleasure in the fact that they have given three mem- bers to the Basketball team, one to the Hockey team, two to the Athletic Board, four to the Yearbook Staff, three readers and a Minnehaha to Hiawatha and an American Girl to The Lost Necklace. The presidents of the Art Club and the Girl Resei-ves are also Senior Ones. Dear Readers, excuse seeming boostfulness. We cannot help it. We are such a gifted class physically, mentally, dramatically and also vocall.y. The next appearance of the Senior Ones upon the rostrum was in the nature of a physical training drill and dance. The most striking feature of this performance, 17 if one might judge by the response of the audience was when one of the human pyra- mids very unexpectedly collapsed. A good laugh was enjoyed by both spectators and participants. Mr. Prosch tried to sym- pathize with our downfall, but confiden- tially speaking (quotation from Miss Herckner) we believe he enjoyed it as much as the audience. Our sport dance was the next number on the program. Banners, pennants, rugs, rackets, clubs and sticks, and Wenonah Military boys were to be the attractions of the evening. Banners, pennants, rugs, rackets, clubs and sticks duly appeared upon the scenes. Wenonah boys did not. However, all went well and our second dance was reported a success. Our last public appeal ance before that awe-inspiring ev ent, practice-teaching, was an entetrtainment given by our liter- ary society. Pi Alpha Psi. Credit for much of the inspiration, whole-hearted effort and crowning success of this entertain- ment belong to our own true friend, Miss Clarke. One of the best times we enjoyed as a class was the last afternoon before prac- tice-teaching, when we were knighted, pledged and entertained in the royal court of the Senior Twos. The royal family was composed of Miss Clarke, king; Miss Her- ckner, queen ; and the grand marshalls, Mr. Souder and Mr. Lloyd. Escorted to the throne and His Majest.v on the arm of one of the grand marshalls, each of the Senior Ones knelt and received the royal order of knighthood. Another feature of the afternoon was the receiving of initialed slips for which we had to supply words. Our new presi- dent, Miss Evelyn Willits, as usual cov- ered hereself with fame when she inter- preted her slip β L. R. T. as meaning Loose Pdckety Teeth. A lively hour was enjoyed by all and the links that bind the two Senior classes were soldered more firmly together. The inter- est, the co-operation and the friendship oi the Senior Twos have been realized and greatly appreciated by their fellow-stu- dents, the Senior Ones. We feel that this chronicle would not be complete without some expression of gi ' ati- tude and appreciation to our Principal anft the Faculty, for the time and labor they β have used in our behalf this eventful year. We therefore wish to make personal ack- nowledgement to the following: To Miss Clarke, our Faculty Advisor, whose good works with us, individu- ally and collectively, have exemplified the highest ideals of friendship. To Miss 0)i whose sympathetic guid- ance, counsel and friendship have en- deared her for all time to the hear ts of her Senior Ones. To Miss Pepple, who never fails to greet us with a cheery word and smile. To Miss Ayyisded, who has willingly turned her library inside out for the benefit of the studious Senior Ones. To Miss Herckner who has never failed to prove herself β an ever present help in trouble. To Mr. Sangree, to whom, we owe thanks for a great deal of illustra- tive material which, if we did not ap- preciate as students, we certainly do now as practice teachers. To Miss Hawley, one of our Trenton friends. Ah, Miss Hawley, many a confession you have heard and many a young heart has stood still waiting for you to place your stamp on the upper (?) side of a certain vital piece of paper. To Miss Turner, whose aid in the drama- tic line cannot be over-estimated. To Miss Dare, whose music and sweet personality have won many friends and admirers in the Senior Class. To Mr. Winans, a real teacher of the highest order, whose many little thoughtful, sympathetic messages to us have warmed the hearts of the Senior Ones more than he can realize. Our loyalty, respect and afi: ectionate regard are his for all time To Miss Peet and her corps of workers in the cafeteria, our thanks and ap- preciation for the enjoyment of one of the pleagantest periods of the day. To Miss Bagg, to whom we owe many a welcome interruption to regular classroom routine. To Miss Werkcs, who has led us through the vicissitudes of Educational Meas- urements and still retains that appar- ent peace of mind and efl ' iciency of in- tellect for which the Senior Ones have always respected her. To Mr. Prosch, to whom we owe three of the pleasantest periods of the week β to say nothing of the bath. 18 To Miss Grcathcad , who has been a faith ful worker with our kindergarten girls. To Miss Little, who has led the falter- ing movements of our awkward arms up the mountain side to the Palmer certificates. To Miss Arnold, without whose artistic judgment we would frequently have been at a loss. To Miss Toivne, who has won many ad- mirers from the Senior One Class. To Mr. Bon.ghner and Jiis son and help- ers, who have in many ways made pleasant the lives of the Senior Ones. To Dr. Savitz. We, as a class have al- ways felt that Dr. Savitz belonged es- pecially to us. This feeling began at Trenton last year when everyone was singing to him : Why go to Glass- boro? Why must you from us part? We smiled quietly for β we were going to Glassboro too. And, Dr. Savitz, we can say, with all of our hearts, we have never regretted it. We, thei ' e repeat β To Dr. Savitz β a wise counsellor, a sympathetic teacher and leader, and a true and faithful friend. MARIAN A. MAC FARLANE, ' 24. HISTORY OF THE SENIOR IPS Tuesday morning, September 4. 1924, there appeared at the door of the Glass- boro State Normal School a group of people seeking admittance. They had tome from many different parts of New Jersey and some from other states. Their purpose was to take advantage of the offer made by the State Board to experienced teachers of entering the school as Seniors. After being interviewed by the regis- trar, Miss Hawley, we were assigned to a room on the second floor which, from all appearances was not unlike any other but which was to be the home room with Miss Herckner as the guiding spirit. Here wc learned we were to be called the Senior 2 ' s and were to have the privilege of oc- cupying front seats in the auditorium. On September 14, a meeting was called for the purpose of organizing the class. An election was held with the following results : President A. W. Souder Vice President Jessie Anderson Secretary E. Gertrude Kulp Treasure) ' E. Ruth Marsh At the next class meeting the president appointed several committees. The mopt important of them was the Social Commit- tee of which Helen Jenkins was chairman. Some very pleasant social affairs were ar- ranged for the class. The first was the picnic at Alcyon Park on October 22, to which the faculty was invited. It was a very cool day and we can recall with a great deal of pleasure the roaring fire, the burnt doggies, the apples and cider and by way of entertainment, the palm reading by Miss Weekes and Miss Turner. On November 9, Miss Herckner invited the class to a cruise on her Pie Rut Ship. Before sailing she appointed the crew as follows : Nellie Sambrook, Captain. George Lloyd, First Mate Melissa Berdanier, Second Mate Ada P. Schaible, Captain ' s wife Edith Dilks, Captain ' s widder Alan W. Souder, Cook Mary Flynn, Cabin Boy Leona Jordan, Bo ' swain Ether Lagergren, Cockswain Clementine Clendining, Skipper Maurice Prone, Wireless Operator Elizabeth Hirst, Quartermaster E Gertrude Kulp, Midshipman Edith Willey, Mother of Cabin Boy Florence Willey, Father of Cabin Boy E. Ruth Marsh, Mermaid Sara Cheeseman.Sa Zor Elizabeth Fink, Sailor Isabel McCool, Sailor Laura Miller, Sailor Mazie Biggs, Sailor Reba Stiles, Sailor Martha Evens, Landlubber Marion Emory, Landlubber Helen Jenkins, Landlubber β : Thelma Loving, Landlubber Charlotte Herckner, Figurehead We had hardly started on our voyage when Marconigrams began to arrive and were announced from the Crow ' s Nest by the wireless operator. One stated a re- past would be served without the use of flat silver. As it is customary to have a good appetite on a sea voyage, the pas- sengers and crew lived up to expectations and the platter was literally licked clean. Soon the Quartermaster bore into the main cabin, a onderful cake adorned with candles. Within it were tiny favors and 19 there was j?reat curiosity as to what each wc-uld receive. When all had Deen servea, Miss Dilks announced she held the wed- ding ring. The next lucky one was Martha Evens who had found an engagament ring. For Alan Souder there was a money bag indicative of riches to come to him. The aeroplane, sign of ahigh flyer alighted in Clementine Clendining ' s cake and Mrs. Schaible found in her ' s a rooster, symbol of vanity. Mr. Prone chose the piece con- taining an old shoe, always a sign of good luck. After the cabin aiid decks had been cleared there was an informal dance. Be- tween dances the cook, A. W. Souder sang several Scotch songs. In the meantime each membei of the crew and the land lubbers had placed their thumb prints in the log book and at eight bells we cast anchor and left the ship, declaring the voy- age had been a great success due to the hospitality of the owner of the Pie Rut Ship. The next social event was the Thanks- giving Dance sponsored by the Senior 2 s and the Junior B 2 ' s. For days preceding there was feverish excitement and a riol of color in the Industrial Arts room- At last the day of the dance a]i ived and the gymnasium was transformed into a bowe;- After the On February 4, the Music Department brought to the school, two artists, Hans Kindler, cellist and Robert Braun, pianist. A large and appreciative audience found the program all too short. On January 30, the class held the mid- year election with the following results: ' President A. W. Souder Vice Presiflriit Mazie Biggs Secrctarij E. Gertrude Kulp Treasure )β E. Ruth Marsh At the next meeting held January 4, it was decided to organize a Literary So- ciety and to join with the Senior I ' s in giving a Sports ' Dance on Friday evening, January 25. March 14 was the end of the second term and as Senior I ' s were to go out for practice teaching we invited them to as- semble in the dining room so that we might confer upon them honorary degi ' ees and wish them success in theii ' new work. On Monday, March 17, we wei ' e tran.s- of beautiful flowers, the hollyhocks made by the class. The dance was a success in Cv ' ory way and we felt repaid for the eftor: expended on its arrangement. Meanwhile there were some Red Letter Days not only in our life but in the life of the student body. On November 16, the school was dedicated. The program for the afternoon was arianged by Dr. Savitz and included addresses by Hon. John Enright, Commissioner of Education, Dr. Edwin C. Broome, Superintendent of Philadelphia Schools and members of the Stat? Beard of Educaticn. At the close of the dedicatory service the school sang the Dedication Ode written by Ada P. Schaible. There followed on December 20, a Christmas celebration, in which the sing- ing of carols and the Christmas tree on the C ' :impus were the striking features. People from the neighboring towns came to join the chorus. The Venetian Trio not only accompanied the singing but rendered many delightful selections. The evergreen tree on the platform, the girls holding candles surrounding it, the melodies, both vocal and instrumental, produced an effect which made every one feel the spirit of Christmas. Holidays ferred from our orginal home room to Room where Miss Clark was in charge. April 10, each section in the school planted a tree on the campus, with appro- priate exercises. Ours was a Japanese walnut ti ' ee donated by Mr. Souder. The next day school closed for the spring vacation and for a time we forgot lesson plans and note books. On May 13 we planted the rose hedge on the campus one bush for each member of the faculty, each class and society, and one for every two students. Our history as the class of Senior 2 ' s closes with this year. In looking back over it we feel the deepest sense of grati- tude to Dr. Savitz and the members of the faculty for their efforts in making this year so profitable to us. As we go out in- to the field may we uphold the standards we have set within the fair walls of our Alma Mater. EDITH W. WTLLEY, Sr. 2. 20 CLASS OFFICERS SR. 1 F.

Firstly: β To Dr. Savitz, who has made possible through his wise guidance and kindly admonitions, the success of this our first graduating class, we bequeath our eternal gratitude and the promise of an evergreen memory of his goodnesses. Secondly: β To those who have prepared us for the way of life, Our Faculty, we be- queath the future classes and leave our sincere appreciation. Thirdly:β To Miss Clark and Miss Herckner, our class advisors, we leave the hope that they may be called upon to guide another class over such uncertain paths as ours has travled. No words can ex- press our gratitude for their tireless services. Fourthly :β To the Staff Advisors, Miss Weekes and Mr Winans, we extend our deepest thanks, knowing that without them, The Oak would have been an un- realized dream. Fifthly: β To the Juniors, we bequeath our Senior dignity, our standards, the spirit of co-operation that has existed in our Class and brought us through smiling. (May they learn from us that being truly great is being truly humble). Sixthly: β All the sunlight, the broad windswept campus, the sky deep, serene, blue, flecked with lacy pink cloudlets, the setting sun tinting western horizon with old gold and purple fire, we leave to the city housed commuters and all others who are lifted up by the sights and sounds of the earth. Seventlily : β To those who will to live sturdy upright lives, we bequeath the great black oaks as living examples, re- membering that these same oaks, though buff ' eted by many adverse winds, have bent but never broken beneath the strain. Eighthly: β To those whose eyes are awake to beauty in all things, we leave the vision of the grey velvet auditorium curtain, swaying in the breeze with the red footlights setting fire to the gold fringe β a sight to make one ' s heart stand still in ecstasy. Ninthly: β To those who aspire to things athletic, we have our past records to be equalled or surpassed, the well-equipped gym., and the ambition to work for a swimming pool. Tdithly: β To Everyone, we leave the hothouses, pungent with the odor of damp eai ' th and new green life, beautiful with their abundance of colorful blossoms. Eleventhly : β To Glassboro and all South Jersey, we leave the tradition of our first Christmas. May the light of good fellow- ship and communal spirit that was cast by the myriads of lighted candles shine down the future years as a symbol of the Glass- boro State Normal School ' s standards. Twelfthly: β To all students, we give most important of all, the all prevading prospect of successful completion of their courses, which happily we have realized. Thirteenthly : β To the following classes we toss the baton. We have run the first lap of the eternal relay β Education. You ' Carry on to the height and success that we have striven to reach, and lastly, we do make, constitute and appoint to be the Executor of this our last Will and Testament. Tn Witness Whereof : we have hereunto subscribed our name and afi ' ixed our seal, this twentv-seventh day of June, in the year 1924. CLASS OF 1924. 37 June 29, 1934. Darling Lou : Once more I find myself under my own vine and fig-tree, and so delightfully tired from my wonderful trip around the world, that 1 enjoy nothing so much as sitting restfully on the cool veranda, and writing to my friends I feel sure you want to hear all about everything, and 1 have so much to tell you. You cannot imagine the wonders and magnificence of this universe until you have wiggled yourself into all its cracks and corners. I can never do justice, on paper, to all the beautiful lands I have visited. Misty, fog-wrapped Lon- don, gay, intoxicating. Paris, blue-skyed Italy, the velvet-nighted deserts, silver tor- rents, infinitesimally small against huge grey-green mountains awe my pen into sil- ence when I try to describe them . So I shall wait till you run down to see me to tell you about them. Today, I am really writing to tell you of old friends whom I have met during the last six months. Do you remember our ' 24 class at G. S. N. S.? I ran across every one of them in my journeyings, some so changed I hardly knew them. England claimed me first, and so I de- cided to take a steamer to Southampton, and before sailing spent a few days in New York, and what do you suppose I saw in the paper that Mar.ic Biggs had just been appointed Superintendent of New York schools. Good for Mazie, I hear you say, and so say we all. And the first day aboard ship, I met Bessie Mi ers who flushed and stammered out a suprised greeting. Then she started a regular tirade against schools press, heredity, environment, and innum- erable other things. When she stopped for breath, I incjuired the why of her ex- citement. She haughtly informed me she was president of the Anti-Everything So- ciety. Then began another scathing criti- cism in the midst of which she collapsed. A nurse appeared on the scene. Twas Elsie Bradij, who not I ' emembering me, calU l me down for talking to Bessie when she had been ordered to observe complete silence Of coui ' se, 1 turned away at once, feel ' ng a bit chilled at the meeting, but the soul-stirring strains of a jazz band lured me into the salon. Liiagine my surpise to see Clarissa Barnes teasing a wicked syno- pation out of the piano. The following evening the ship ' s cap- tain entertained all first cabin passengers in honor of his bride, Martha Evens, who looked her old self. She told me she in- tended taking in the Ol mipic Games be- cause Laura Miller, the hockey star, was expected to take hockey honors. Martha also told that Mrs. Schalble had been elected a member of Congress, which is de- lightful news. 1 met no more old friends until I arrived in London. There one misty, mirky day, 1 was wandering along Bond Street when I stumbled over a pair of large feet, en- cased in chomois-topped shoes. They turned out to be fastened to our old friend George Lloyd, who is, he told me, a walk- ing mannikin for a fashionable London Haberdashery. His system for drawing trade is simple. He poses in front of the shop and his pleasing, ruddy countenance, plus his ultra garb command attention. When the psychological moment arrives, and that is when the crowd is thickest, he produces a sign, cunningly fastened to his smart walking stick, which he holds so that all who look may read and learn where sartorial equipment similar to his, may be purchased. When opportunity permit- ted, he spoke to me and seemed glad to see me. Have you seen Blanche Epplcr yet? he asked. Before I could say No, he cried out, Listen, I noticed Mr. Lloyd ' s head resting on the small of his back, his eyes on the sky. 1 promptly imitated his be- havior. ' Way, ' way, up against the sky appeared a silvery shape, that soared and swooped as it came closer I saw it was a powerful dirigible. Blanche ' s daily flight to Calcutta, said George. She is our most noted flier, and ' But 1 heard no more; the crowd had swallowed George again. I turned away, marvelling at Blanche ' s daring- That afternoon 1 went to Albert Hall to hear Nellie SaniJ)rook, who had been widely advertised as America ' s foremost 38 pianist. She play.ed divinely and I slipped out when her concert was over, proud to have known her. Incidentally, I saw by the papers that Esther Lagergren, was being considered for the post of commissioner of elementary Education in Germany. It seems since the war, there has arisen a great need for teachers versed in American elementary school methods. It seems to be taken for granted thatshe will be called to this field. My next stop was in Paris, and, need- less to say, I hied me to the shops. I was so anxious to see the famous Gertet and Rebit. And what do you suppose? You ' ll never, never believe me when I tell you these two great designers are none other than Gertrude Knlp and Rebecca Burgess. I had the pleasure of seeing their advance fashion models which were to much for me and I resisted all the pleasure to add some of their creations to my ward- robe. Details of my sight seeing in Paris must wait till we can have a long chat. In Switzerland, I met Mary Lovrez, industriously at work cutting holes in cheese. She is not doing this permanently, but is gettting concrete material for her book Stablization of the Wage Scale. When the book is complete, Mary will re- ceive her degree at R. S. V. P. I think. I was charmed with sunny Italy, land of splendid architecture. One of the out- standing new buildings is the Italian Ren- aissance Hospital whose head proved to be none other than Clementina Clevdining, and, on looking over the names of the staff, I discovered that of Dr. Sara Cheesman, psychologist and I heard she is one of the foremost women in hei ' line of woi ' k On my last day in Rome whom should I meet but Hope Kershner and Iva Bowen. Hope is studying Italian opera in preparation for her debut next fall with the Metropoli- tan Opera Company. Iva is Hope ' s di- rector and business manager. Hope of- fered to do a trill or two for me, but Iva, knowing my influence in musical circles, dissuaded her, thereby winning my eternal gratitude. Reluctantly I parted with them and took a steamer for the Near East. I had a wonderful time in Egvpt, and one experience I must tell you. While on a little excursion into the desert my drago- man called my attention to an approaching caravan. Curious to see one at close range I begged him to turn our camels so that we might have a good view. He did so, and I watched eagerly the gorgeous caval- cade draw near. Imagine my amazement to see a familiar face under the shiek ' s turban, and nearly fell from my camel when my dragoman announced This is the most noted sheik of the desert β a for- mer American, Maurice Prone. ' ' A fitting end for Maurice β a shiek. Don ' t you agree with me? Africa intrigued me, and I determined to see a real jungle, and despite the pro- tests of friends, I joined a party who in- tended to penetrate darkest Africa. In the heart of the jungle we met a fierce looking band of huge natives. Inwardly, I cringed until I saw they were guarding the litter of two white women β Dorothy Cann and Isabel McCooI! I learned they were missionaries to these people, and happy in their work. Dottie spoke words of welcome and in due time she and her party moved on to quell more savage hearts. When we returned to Egypt, I went to Cairo, and happened into a shop kept by the former Melissa Berdanier. Her hus- band, I learned, had recently been eaten by cannibals while in search for curios for the shop. I parted with her quite sadly. In far off India I met the next old ac- quaintance, Adelaide Bennett, our gentlest of gentlewomen. She has quite a lovely home outside Calcutta and there I found her playing with several tigers- She mod- estly acknowledged that there wasn ' t a tiger born whom she could not tame. I left hev with no reluctance, I assure you to her pleasant pastime. Back to America I turned my steps. Through the Golden Gate we steamed to San Francisco. Famous Hollywood claim- ed me first. I would have gone away from it, however, with no idea of be- hind the scenes if a familiar face, with a well remembered grin had not met my eves. Helen Smick, as I live, I cried. She greeted me cordially. I ' m playing slap-stick comedy, she said. Just now we are doing ' Hi-0- Water ' . Edith Willeii has the leading role as Giggling H2 0, while her sister, Flor- ence, (this is not known hereabouts) is old Nokomis. Two of our biggest stars irr the silent drama are Marion Emory and Katherine Meredith. After winnmp: the Bathing Beauty Contest at Atlantic City, they were pursued with all sorts of offers 39 to perpetuate their classic features on the silver sheet. They consented to play the leading roles in The Project Method, written by Miss Pidgcon, the eminent au- thoress of Before and After. You ' ve heard of it, of course? I concealed my ignorance, and it was just as well as Helen was called for the next set] At the hotel, 1 ran across Edith Dilks, the noted naturalist, now in the empioy of Luther Burbank, making experiments that may lead to the extermination of the Jersey mosquito. I was also hailed by Elizabeth Schivartz, adorned like Aster ' s plush horse. I heard whispers of mil- lionairess as she drew near our table. Later, in conversation, she said she had made it all selling candy. Imagine the profit, and we never suspected it. I spent only a week in California and then turned eastward. The first night on the train, I was disturbed by loud mutter- ings from the berth above, which became so loud that I requested silciice A fam- iliar voice answered, and who should peer down at me but Florence Heintz. Why the raving. Floss? I asked. Oh, it ' s the business of being a sales- woman. I am memorizing what I am going to say. You remember, it always did upset me deciding whether to use the whole or part method. At this point she took an anicardium and sank back and re- sumed her mutterings. The next day we resumed our conver- sation. She wept while telling me the sad fate of Helen Heal and Ada Dilks, boti. now taking the rest cure at Trenton. Ada loves to pose coyly in shady corners and murmur : I ' m a little pansy. See my pretty face. Helen ' s breakdown was due to overwork She attempted to write a History of Edu- cation and collapsed. A trail of rice and confetti enticed Flor- ence and myself to the observation car, and there we found a quartette of honey- mooners β Mildred Baker with Heavy and Edna Whittington with a Bucknell profes- sor. I thought they would have married long ago, but it seems the boys could not make up their minds, and leap year come;; only once in four years. Florence stayed with Elsie Carter in Chicago, who became interested in a Stvifl man, and who is aiming to get a permanent position in his life work. I hope she succeeds. The trip from Chicago was uneventful. I was much amused, however, with an article in a magazine, concerning the effec- tive use of the eyes and hair. As I read I felt sure the writer knew something of what the sterner sex wants, never guess- ing that it was by our old friend, Maij Bomhoff. May, of the soft chuckles and clinging vine ways. My first night in New York I felt a need for excitement, so 1 went to the cir- cus, and as luck would have it, I sat beside Florence Zephyr. She is managing a tea room in the city called The Cross-eyed Owl down in what she calls the Village. A blaze of trumpets drew our atten- tion An announcer with a megaphone begged us to see the only live human drowned Dromedary only victim as yet to circumstances. The curtain went up on Mary Mc Cabe, in a pose reminiscent of the pyramid days. I am sure Mary is thanking the instincts which made her equal to this opportunity even though she used to hate it so. The next day I went down to the Cross- eyed Owi and made the tour of Florence ' s village, which of coui ' se was the famous Greenwich Village. Whom should I find spouting free verse in a basement restau- rant but Lilly Cahaley. Her hair was streaming in the breeze as freely as her verse. She is said to be most free of free versists β so free that editors won ' t even take it from her. No inducement, I could offer, could cause Lillian to cease, so I left her and visited a studio building of the pretentious sort. As I glanced through an open door I saw Esther Brineshultz posing in a rose taffeta bouffant dress. I afterwards saw sevei-al pictures for which she had posed, and all were quaintly child- ish and characteristic of Esther. I saw on one door the name Leslie Hay- den and ventui ' ed in. You remember Les, always affected bright colors. Well, she hasn ' t changed. She was draped in bro- caded silver cloth, while the furnishings were brilliant carmine inlaid with ebony. A black panther, stuffed of course, was chained to a red-gold model throne. Les, I discovered standing on her head in a cor- ner β reducing, she explained. Our con- versation was finally interi ' upfed by 40 sounds of a violent quarrel without. I wod ' t. All right, thed get your owd baterial Stop fighting. Which do you wadt? Vadilla or orage ice? Diether, ' til spridg is cobe. Of course you guess it was Marij, Marian and Amelia, fighting as usual. They were having a hectic time posing for Les as the Three Graces. They had also tried giving a dancing act at one of the neighboring play houses. The act was all right, but their dancing so poor that it lasted one performance only. My people were down at Miami, so I started for Florida after a week of New- York. I stopped off at Trenton to call on Helen Jenkins, married lo: these many years to him. I couldn ' t pass old Philly without a peep at familiar things, and such an experience as I had ! Walking se- dately near the University of Pennsylvania speculating on the peacefulness of my life, when Bang ! bang ! F-z-z-z ! I started on a quick ascent, and then suddenly reversed my movement, and started downward, and met Ruth Bright going up, who shouted Just dropped a vial ofJ β but what, I shall never know as she passed on sc quickly. I don ' t like these soaring ex periences and when safely on earth, I hur- ried away for fear of worse things when Ruth came down. I took refuge in the nearest theatre. The cool, dim interior, and the soft, slow music calmed my chat- tered nerves, so that, in time, I could give my attention to the play. The audience was richly gowned, an air of expectancy pervaded the place. Finally the overture ceased. Out from the wings came Mary Fli nn who was happy to announce the opening of this new theatre in company with Elizabeth Fink and Reba Stiles, who at the psychological moment, came out to stand beside Mary, and receive the plaudits of the ci ' owd. The play was the latest mu- sical comedy, direct from a two-year run in New York β On the Borderline, or Canada with Lena Casarow in the lead- ing role. She danced, rolled her eyes, and captured hearts with ease. Dreading another meeting with Dr. Bright I took an early train to Washing- ton. I had heard that Manj Barber was representing New Jersey in the Senate, and RiitJi Marsh and Alan Souder were both high in the Depailment of Labor, honors they had won by I ' e -.son of their labors in behalf of the Yearbook- I was on my way to the Capitol when I met a huge delegation of women, carrying ban- ners flaming forth Freedom of Speech for Women. I stopped one ardentist and demanded the why of the new movement? It seemed that Eleanor Carll and Leona Jordan resenting the fact they hadn ' t been allowed to talk much at Normal School were now seeking redress in this way. I found Mary holding forth. Her pow- er of organization has gained much for her, and she is politically very prominent. From Washington I turned southward. I stopped at Alabama to visit Tuskegee Institute to observe the work of Thelma Loving, who is making a name for herself there. From Alabama, I left on the last lap of my wonderful trip and while on the train, I read a most interesting article about Reba Bradway. It seems she .... When I stepped oflf at the old home town, and looked into the familiar faces, when I drove down my own Main Street I real- ized, as I had never done before, that there is no place like Home.

Practically every high school of South Jersey was repre- sented in the total of one hundred seventy- five . students. The group was so large that it was divided into six sections, each of which soon distinguished itself through academic and social work. In a short time schedules were running smoothly and many friendships were developed. Al- though each of the six sections had a strong organization, it was believed that there should be clos er union. Consequent- ly, a meeting was held on November first, with Russell Knight, chairman, and the following officers elected: Russell Knight, president; Miriam Clark, vice pi-esident ; Betty Supplee, secretary; Emily Twing, treasurer. The activities and achievements of the Juniors will be fully explained in the fol- lowing pages. BETTY SUPLEE, Secretaiy. THE JUNIOR ONE CLASS Class Officers President Emily Young Vice Preside)it Isabel Auerbach Secretary Marion Bower Treasurer Esther Lotier Faculty Advisor Blanche Pepple Home Room β Number 127. The Junior I. section was organized in December, 1923. Since then, it has been participating in various phases of the school activities very successfully As wull be seen by the name of the class, it is the Junior I ' s in more ways than one, for it has, owing to the co-operation and efforts of the members of its class, won the inte r- class basketball championship this season. One of its members, Miriam Clark, has made the varsity team of the school. Although it has not had time to indulge in giving parties, and doggie roasts, tne Junior I ' s can truthfully say that they have not missed this type of fun, because of their love of more vigorous sports. ISABEL AUERBACH. 44 THE JUNIOR TWOS The Junior A 2 is one of the Kinder- garten-Primary Classes. Dorothy Fogg is the president, Betty Supplee, -oecretary and Gertrude Kelsey, treasurer. The A2 ' s have been well represented in all the activities of the school. Everyone knows Estelle Edwards, one of the mem- bers of the basketball team. The Class made many interesting toys in the Art Class. These, together with all other kinds of educational toys were dis- played in an exhibit. To arouse interest in the exhibit the 2 ' s decided to be toys themselves and gave a little entertainment entitled the Toy Shop. Priscilla Tweed took the part of the Poor Little Rich Girl. She fell asleep and dreamed that Ward, Maybelle Fenton, the Mannikan, the toys were alive. One by one they came to life and moved about. Marian and Emma Crawford, the Rolly-Poliy. Even the Wooden Soldiers marched and drilled. Lillian Schumacker, Evelyn Seeds and Edna Foster were in the ranks. Su- zanne Rozunko and Eleanor Lee as tlie Monkey on the Stick and the Jack in the Box made one think he was in a regular toy shop The arguments between Ada Moi ' gan as the proud French Doll and Frances Neumayer, the Rag Doll, brought out the fact that children enjoy the toys they can actually play with more than the beautiful, expensive toys that they can not play with but only admire. Besides having dolls, the Class also had some song-birds in their midst. The 2 ' s were well represented in the Glee Club Operetta. Julia Hughes, played the part of Lola, Glendora McCarty as Dolores and Virginia Zozearth as Liez. Rebecca Brandriff and Helen Shipley were Spanish maids, while Frances Harris and Louise Draper were Merry Gypsies. FRANCIS NEUMAYER. 45 JUNIOR THREE CLASS THE JUNIOR THREES Who are the ofFicei ' s of Junior 3? Our annals display the following names : President Ethel Boeckel Vice President Emily Barker Sec retard Dorothy Carlisle Treasurer Frances Barker What have we accomplished? On the sporting- field we have been successful in playing the game fairly even though our victories have been few and far between. Although we were not represented on the Varsity basketball team, whenever a game was scheduled, many Junior 3 ' s could be seen along the side lines. Thus it has been in all the school activities. In greet- ing the new Junior B ' s we did our part in the passing parade and extended to them a cordial invitation to join our so- cieties. That we have class spirit was shown when we gathered not long ago in the Manual Training room for a party. The members having previously been divided in four groups presented stunts which were of many different varieties. A farm- yard scene, an astonishing physical train- ing demonstration and auction sale were portrayed while the members of the class saw themselves as others see them. Games and dancing were also a part of the pro- gram. The refreshments of pickles and peanuts, although rather unusual, seemed to be enjoyed by all. In the future may the Junior 3 ' s be re- membered by the lilac hedge planted at the entrance of the campus, on Arbor Day, 1924. DOROTHY CARLISLE 46 JUNIOR FOUR CLASS THE JUNIOR FOURS On September 4th, 1923, the Junior Fours organized with the following officers Chainnan George Wright Asst. Chairman .... Dorothy Emerson Asst. Chairman Francis Harris However, on November, 1923, owing to the reorganization of sections, another election took place at which the following officers were elected : President Marie Nutt Vice President Beatrice Hughes Secretary Hilda Roselle Treasurer Anna Krieg We have not had any social affairs of note as yet, but members of our group al- Vv ' ays attend the various school function: . We have been very deeply interested in spoils and have always had a team. ANNA KRIEG. 47 THE JUNIOR FIVES The officers of the Junior Five ' s are as follows : President Kathryn Dorwart Vice President George Wright Secretary May Batten Treasurer Amelia Allen Faeultij Advisor Miss Turner Though the smallest section, Junior Five has contributed largely to the successes of the Junior class. In athletics, she has played no mean part. At the end of the basketball season, Junior V was tie with Senior II in second place for the cham- pionship of the Interclass games. The lineup of our team was as follows : Forwai-ds: Ann Prentiss, Kathryn Dor- wart. Centres : Ora Owens, Cora Shimp. Guards : Rose Gallner, Gertrude Crystal Her representation on the Varsity was small in numbers but mighty in force. Through the clever and skillful playing of May Batten and the untiring and ceaseless efforts of Kathryn Dorwart who as cheer leader kept up the morale of the team. Junior V helped to make possible the tri- umphs of the season just passed. In recog- nition of their services, both representa- tives will be made recipients of the school letter. In the presentation of Hiawatha, Mc- Kendree Langley was chosen for the char- acter of Hiawatha. Other members of the class who participated were Elsie Carr, Kathryn Dorwart, Russell Knight, George Wright an i Rose Gallner. Likewise, The Lost Necklace was not without a fair showing of Vs. Those who took part were Ora Owens, Elsie Can , Kathryn Dorwart and Ann Prentiss. Dorothy Baker was the accompanist for the occasion. On January 13th, Ebner, Langley, Wright, Knight, Dv marest and Saunders assisted the other men of the school in an impressive memorial service commemorat- ing the death of President Wilson. To celebrate the termination of the see- on term ' s work as well as to do honor to the occasion, a St. Patrick ' s party was 48 given by Junior V in the Manual Training room on Tuesday, March 18th. Both fac- culty advisor and members can testify to the success of the affair. The school orchestra has a splendid representation of V ' s in Dorothy Baker, pianist, and H. Demarest, violinists. The distinctive honor of having the one of its members, Paissell Knight, the Presi- dent of the Junior Class is one of which she is proud. If Junior V has done anything to make her class and school a bigger, better and more helpful class and school, she hopes that this will but serve to indicate what her contributions for the future may be. MARY BARTCH 49 JUNIOR SIX CLASS THE JUNIOR SIXES When the Junior Six Class was formed in December, 1923, they elected the follow- ing efficient staff of officers: President Elizabeth Green Vice President Myrtle Jennings Secretari Blanche Jone3 Treasurer Geraldine Warner Facultj Adri.sor Mr. Winans The class is particularly and justly proud of what they have done in costume designing. They have exhibited 26 dolls of their own manufacture and di ' essmak- ing. Dolls fi-om the ancient dark-skinned Egyptian to the modern shingle-bobbed American girl were typically dressed in their respective periods. Another feature of the class is the large representation on the Varsity Basketball team. They gave to the Varsity four fast and noteworthy players, namely, Jerry Warner, captain ; Tory Penino ; Elsie Parkhurst and Pauline Bowers, who brought fame and honor to the Junior Six Class by their peisistent effort to play rjr their Alma Mater. The Junior Sixes are proud of them ! ADALAIDE SHAFFER 50 THE JUNIOR B CLASS The Junior B Class entered the Normai School March 17, 1924. The first outstand- ing feature of our Normal School career was the welcoming party in the gymna- sium. As soon as we were well enough acquainted, we organized our class and elected the following officers: President Elizabeth Mc dure Vice President Olive Chew Treasurer Thelma Newman Gym- Captain Edna Jarvis First Lietuenant Anna Gandelli Second Lieutenant .... Grace Bernhardt We have had two regular class meetings. Since our organization we have partici- pated in several school affairs. Our first attempt at athletics, a Service Ball game with the Junior Six Class. The score was 21-4 (?) in favor of the Junior Six divi- sion. We played baseball with Senior 2 ' s and lost by a score of 24-4. Our last at- tempt, however, was more successful. We won a baseball game from the Junior 3 ' s by a score of 12-6. In the series of plays from the Blue Book the Junior B ' s presented in chapel, the concluding one called Train Eti- quette. We hope in the future to be able to prove ourselves worthy of our opportunities to a greater extent. ANNA HANKINS. 51 THE FIRST DORMITOR i GIRLS Such a forlorn little band they were β those first dormitory girls, so utterly be- wildered and embarrasseci ; each afraid to speak to the other! Did it last? No β decidedly not ! Before long, each knew the other ' s birthplace, date of birth. Mother ' s maiden name, and where she had bought that sweet little dress! Twenty-two girls nearly all one age had much in common and so friendships pro- gressed rapidly, and so did organization. Before long they adopted Student Gov- ernment, laid down their rules, elected their house president, Marion Emory ; and began Dorm life in t he old Warrick Mansion. Well back from the road and surrounded by giant, shady trees, stands the stately old Warrick Mansion. Far above its three stories is an imposing tower which one reaches by means of an interesting, curi- ously-wrought circular staircase. Ver- dant young Juniors have seen fit to dese- crate the serene dignity of this lordly tower by hanging from its highest point, a stout line which reached the main floor, to which was securely tied at various in- tervals, the shoes of the lofty Seniors. Is it any wonder that on dark, gloomy nights, groaning, creaking, gnawings and scratch- ings come from every corner and sliadov y phantom-like shapes flit to and fro and haunt those miscreant Juniors? From out the deadly silence of study hour rang screeching, screaming and yell- ing one black, stormy, February night. In great alarm all the bathrobed inmates rushed to the top floor. There in one cor- ner stood a girl at bay, fear written in every feature. Before her lay two, ghast- ly, gleaming, baby faces unearthed in an eff ort to recover a thimble from beneath a rickety step. One brave soul ventured near and picked up β plaster molds of ba- bies ' bodies minus the usual arms, legs, and trunk! A great sigh of relief arose and the badly frightened girl loudly pro- tested that she wasn ' t frightened. She knew they weren ' t ghosts, all the time She was just afraid of germs. (Some- where in Psychology they speak of in- credulity.) There still remains unsolved the mys- tery of the hidden staircase and the dun- geon beneath where many a fair maiden has perished because she couldn ' t find her way out. The Dorm girls are off ' ering 5,000,000 marks reward for the solution of this mystery. Despite all these alarming and threat- ening situations, the girls enjoyed their life in Warrick Mansion. Their social committees provided screaming entertain- ments and kept life from being too much work and no play. How well we all remember the circus parade which pervaded every corner of the old house one evening. Barnum and Bailey never displayed such features as were present that night! Do you suppose we will ever forget our most sylph-like beauty in that gorgeous, orange bathing creation? The first really big thing the girls did as a group was to entertain at the Par- ent-Teacher ' s Association in Glassboro. With the assistance of Miss Grace Atkin- son, the Y. W. C. A. secretary in charge of activities here, and Miss Lillian Cham- bers, the Dean, the girls staged Wild Nell, a farce in one act. The stunt lived up to its name. It was wild and wooly, and highly imaginative from the time the stage manager raised the curtain until Duty conquered and Wild Nell stabbed herself for Love ' s sake. Their next big venture into the social world was when they entertained the fac- ulty. That was the night of nights! At that time, the faculty witnessed a most serious operation on a tiny, overworked Normal School Student. While the girl writhed beneath the surgeon ' s instruments (hammers, saws, screw-drivers, augers, pokers, scissors and chisels), the faculty learned what End Brushes, Note Books, Forty Flowers, Earrings, Showers, News- zitems, Raff ia, and The Squirrel Loves a Merry Chase, will do to poor, unsophis- ticated, innocent, credulous maids pursu- ing courses in Normal Schools. Entertaining prominent townspeople, and members of their own faculty on Wed- nesday nights provided the girls with a practical use of the Blue Book. Sad but true. Emily Post was wont to disap- pear every Tuesday night and reappear (]uite mysteriously on the following Thurs- day morning. By very clever detectaive work the girls found the borrower. They carefully watched the manners of their neighbors on Wednesday nights and by a Sherlock Holmes deduction found that one 52 girl in particular was an authority on the use of the dining implements and quite outshined the rest. But these joys cannot persist forever. The old order must change. The Seniors of today must give place to the Seniors of tomorrow. It is with a feeling of mingled joy and sorrow that we realize this : joy that we are going out to the new life that we have chosen for ourselves ; sorrow that we must part from those with whom we have spent so many happy hours. We, too, know that Parting is a sweet sorrow ; we, too, would say good-bye till it be tomorrow. MARION EMORY, ' 24. 53 CLUBS The Special Interest Clubs were organ- ized to meet the varied interests of the student body, at the suggestion of inter- ested groups of students. Every student in the school had the privilege, early in October, 1923, of selecting the club which she felt best met her interest, and of be- coming a member of that club. The ac- tivities of each club for the year past wiii be found recorded below- SIGMA DELTA KAPPA The Sunn II Dan Club The purpose of this society is to develop a broader and better knowledge of the camera and how to use it; to further the interests of the school by taking pictures of all important events and leaving thei ' i on record ; to learn how to actively par- ticipate in all meetings. The officers are as follows : PrcHidcnf Adele Banyard Vice President Helen Barrington Seerefanj Martha Campbell Treasurer Marian Fleetwood Faculty Adrisor . . Charlotte Ilerckner Meetings are held every Friday after- noon at three thirty o ' clock and also once a month during the time allotted for this purpose by the school. The following goals have been set and some of them have been reached this year: To have each member learn to op- erate and have a knowledge of a more complicated camera than the one he or she first used. To have the experience of develop- ing and printing pictures in a dark room. To acquaint the club with all the 54 attractive spots in the vicinity of the school. To develop an appreciation of the fine art of photography as displayed in the current magazines and the ex- hibitions in Philadelphia. To leave a record of historical fea- tures as a nucleus for a tiling cabinet. A tangible proof of the progress and ac- complishments of the club was given in an exhibition at the end of the year showing how blue prints may be utilized in school work ; how correlation may be made with geography, history, science and art. The students participating in the various ac- tivities of the school such as plays, op- eras, and games have been photographed in costume. These pictures are to be lei ' as a record of our work. CLEMENTINE R. CLENDINING. 55 DRAMATIC CLUB THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Normal School Dramatic Club, which was first assigned to class rooni 207 as a meeting place, promptly ovej ' flowed into the auditorium because of the as- tonishingly large number seekintr mem- bership, and in that place it has since held its regular meetings. The first official staff was as follows : President, Martha Evens of Haddonfield. Vice President, Russell Knight, Glassboro. Recording Sec ' y., Inez Garrison, of New Hampshire. Librarian, E. Ruth Marsh, Collingswood. Custodian of Prop. Betty Suplee, Glassboro Treasurer, Evelyn Willits, Camden. Miss Nellie E Turner was chosen Fac- culty Advisor, and deserves a great amount of credit for the success of this, the largest Club, and the way in which the work has been planned to give every member a chance to take part in the productions. The year ' s plan toward which we were to strive, was as follows: (a) TRIPS: To Philadelphia Theatres. To the National School of Elo- cution and Oratory. To near-by entertainments. (b) LECTURES: Of general interest. In preparation for trips. (c) STUDY AND READING: In preparation for trips. Articles on stage-craft. Books on plays. (d) CLUB PERFORMANCES: Group dialogues. Group dramatizations. 1-Act plays and curtain raisers Farces. (e) COMPETITIVE WORK: Prize competition in original dramatizations. Prize competition in original dialogues. 56 (f) PUBLIC PERFORMANCES: Hiawatha. ; As You Like It 1 Comedy; 1 Pageant. (g) ENTERTAINMENTS BY PRO- FESSIONAL TALENT: A Reader of a book or play. A play by a small-cast troupe. A lecturer on a literary subjecc The outstanding pei ' formance of the year, up to the date of writing this review, was the presentation of Longfellow ' s Song of Hiawatha One hundred and forty students took part. All the design- ing, costuming, and elaborate stage-setting for the occasion was done by the students under the direction and help of the instruc- tors in the various departments. The Readers of the evening were Marion Emory, Bessie Myers, Evelyn Willets, and Florence Heintz ; and the leading charac- ters were taken by the following students : The Great Spirit Russell Knight Hiaicatha, the child .... David Winans Hiawatha, the hoi .... Maurice Prone Hiawatha, the man McKendree Langley lagoo, the great boaster Alan W. Souder Pau pau kee wis, the dancer Elsie Park- hurst. Mondamin, Indian Corn George W. Wright The Ancient Arrow-Maker . . Ada Dilks The Black-Robed Chief Madeline Nichols Nokoniis, Hiatratha ' s Grandmother Florence Willey Minnehaha, Katharine Meredith The Ghosts .. Dorothy Carlisle; Ethei Boekel Famine, Suzanna Rozunko Fever Martha Evens Soloist Julia Hughes So popular was the performance with both students and public that a second pre- sentation was urged, and this took place Friday evening, January 25th, under the management of the Senior class and for the benefit of the Year Book. Although the admission was still kept ai iriirty-five cents, $225.00 was netted for this worthy purpose. At the time of writing this Report, two events are being looked forwai ' d to with interest ; The annual presentation of a Shakesperian play at the National School of Elocution and Oratory, to which tiie Club is invited, and the lecture to the Club by the Principal of that School some time in April. Art for Art ' s Sake is our motto, and our energies in the future will be bent to- ward the accomplishment of this all-round aim. INEZ GARRISON. 57 FINE ARTS CLUB SIGMA DELTA RHO In October, 1923, the Fine Arts Room was the selected meeting place of a small group of girls interested in drawing, cos- tume design, and interior decoration. Af- ter becoming acquainted with each other, the girls elected officers as follows: President Hope Kershner Viee President Iva Bowen Secretary Florence Zepher Treasurer Francis Harris A name was then given the society, and a constitution adopted. Miss Dorothy Arnold became faculty advisor and hon- oraiy member of the Sigma Delta Rho. At first, the society was interested in all forms of artistic expression, some of the members attended the presentation of the Russian theatrical, Chauve Souris, ' ' in Philadelphia. Soon the society was re- c|uested to design and execute costumes and decorations for the play, Hiawatha given at the school by the Dramatic So- ciety, interesting but hard some of the members returned to school on Saturday morning to help in the work. Immediately following the Christmas holidays, the members decided to have an informal party. They invaded the beai - tiful Community Room, made themselvso at home on the floor, played games, ana after a rollicking good time, retired to the private dining room and feasted on straw- berry shortcake with whipped cream ! For the party, each member had designed and executed place cards which were ex- changed and kept as souvenirs of this af- ternoon play-time together. Many personal problems have oeen solved in this society. The girls who make party favors, gifts and dresses bring their problems before others who assist in de- ciding the best materials and design. Next year the society hopes to establish a Christmas gift shop in the school. Ar- ticles both artistic and useful will be made 58 by the members and sold for the benefit of the club This year will long be remembered by the Sigma Delta Rho girls as a very pleas- ant and profitable one. It is their fond hope that our society will always shine in dear Glassboro Normal, the jewel of a school. EMILY E. BARKER. 59 HISTORY CLUB HISTORY CLUB The officers of the History Chib are: President Louise Pearson Vice President Blanclie Jones Seer eta yy Estelle Gardella Trcastirer Harriet VanLeer The History Ckib is but a small unit in the Glassboro Normal School, yet it plays a vital part in the history depart- ment of the school. Our faculty advisor, Miss Clark, with her untiring efforts has helped to make it such. Work brings happiness, and we feel that our club is one of the happiest at Normal School. We have entered with great enthusiasm into the activities of the year of 192: ) and 1924. The members of the club demon- strated their unity as a group when they planned and carried out the exercises for Thanksgiving Day. Another activity of the club was the tak- ing of the grammar school children to Philadelphia on a visit to historical places of interest. Many members of the club accompanied them. The History Club is taking an active in- terest in the expansion of Glassboro Nor- mal School and wish to do their part in furthering the work of our Alma Mater. It has been a great privilege to come un- fV.v the influence of Dr. J. J. Savitz and to realize, as we have realized fully, the magnitude of his accomplishment for Glassboro Normal. ESTELLE GARDELLA. 60 OUT DOOR CLUB THE OUT DOOR CLUB The officers of the Outdoor lu ' o are: President Edith A. Dilks Vice President Mary Batten Secretary Eleanor Pelz Treasurer, Lida Atkinson Advisor, John B. Sangree The Out Door Club is just what its name implies β a club for the informal study and observation of out door life in its natural environment. The year ' s activities have been marked by a series of trips through South Jersey, which is famous for its flora and f?.:ina. Among the rare specimens found wei ' e the cardinal lobelia, orchid, closed ger.- tian, blazing star, pixie, purple geradia, false fox glove, and pitcher plant. While not looking for unusual bird life, it was a pleasant surprise to see a great blue heron on Centerton Lake. The Club enjoyed the privilege of a visit to one of the largest seed plant and bulb establishments in the world ; namely Dreer ' s Nursery at Riverton. Upon be- ginning a tour of the eighteen acres of greenhouses an appropriate reception was ' liven by thousands of palms varying in age from a seedling to a sago plam of sixty years. They covered four acres of the three hundred and fifty acre farm. An interesting feature of the four hun- dred varieties of ferns is the method of propagation. The spores which appear on the leaves are planted, then while yet very small, transplanted to larger trays. Profitable meetings have been held each week. Mr. Sangree and other members frequently gave reports of their observe- tions and experiences. Dr. Savitz spoke to the Club of the broadening influence of the great Out-of-Doors, and the en- }- ' chment of the life lived close to natui ' e. He also gave timely suggestions for the welfare of the Club. Each member will contribute a tree to add to the variety now found in the grove. It is the purpose of the Club to keep each room of the school supplied with a bouquet cf cwt flowers or a blooming plant, which 61 are raised by the Club under the direction of Mr. Sangree and Mr. Boughner, the Su- perintendent of the grounds. It is planned also to bring from the for- ests of Pennsylvania a number of rhodeii- dra and plant them on the campus. It is anticipated that this year ' s achieve- ments may be the foundation upon which each succeeding year will build until the highest aims are realized. EDITH A. DILKS, ' 24. 62 MUSIC CLUB SIGMA MU The Sigma Mu or Music Club of The Glassboro State Normal School is a very active organization. Its officers are as follows : President Dorothy Baker Vice President Electa Usinger Secretary, Harriet McManus Librarian Alta Powell Advisor Florence Dare The Sigma Mu started the year with high ideals. The aim is to benefit its mem- bers and also the whole student body, by supplying whatever musical talent or in- formation whenever a demand is made for such. Students have been given the op- portunity to secure tickets to such notable musical events as the opera, II Trova- tore, the oratoria, The Messiah, and concerts by the Philadelphia Orchestra. In the meetings of the club the mem- bers have studied the lives and works of some of the most eminent composers among whom were George Fi ' ederick Handel, and Johann Sebastian Bach. These were made extremely interesting Dy the vocal and instrumental renditions of some of the v. ' orks of these masters DOROTHY BAKER. 63 PSYCHOLOGY CLUB THE PSYCHOLOGY CLUB In October, 1923, a Psychology Club was formed with Miss Blanche Weekes, head of the Psychology department as faculty ad- visor. Although the subject of psychology was new to the majority of the class en- tering in September, their interest was aroused to the extent of a membership of thirty-five. The following student offi- cers were elected : President, Ada P. Schaible Vice President Iva Sharpless Secretary Virginia Bozarth Treasurer, Alma Lacy Dr. J. J. Savitz and instructors in the psychology department were made hon- orary members. To study psychology from a viewpoint not usually found in the classroom, to be- come familiar with psychology in refer- ence to everyday life, to inspire interest in psychology work, such were some of the aims of the Club. The program of the Club included visits to places of psychological interest, such as the Training School for Feeble-minded at Vineland, where interesting work with the subnormal child is carried on; Dr. Twitmyer ' s speech clinic in connection with the Psychology Department of the University of Pennsylvania; and the Im- migration Bureau at Gloucester to witness the type of examinations given emigrants for entrance requirements. The Club also aims to give each year a short play with a psychological background, Meetings included discussion of current topics of psychological interest, simple tests and specially arranged programs with speakers. Dr. Savitz spoke to us at one of the meetings on Mental Health. Our backward look is one of satisfac- tion ; our forward look, of anticipation. At all times we are striving to live up to our motto Know thyself. KATHERINE DORWART. 64 RHO SIGMA NU RHO SIGMA NU The boys ' organization came as the re- sult of the young men discovering that, although they were few in number, they could accomplish things that were worth while and that were in fair proportion to the work that was being done by other or- ganizations. The Wilson Memorial Program, their first effort, was presented entirely by the young men of the school, and, interspersed with suitable music, was as follows : President Coolidge ' s Proclamation Alan Sonde r Governor Silzer ' s Proclamation George Lloyd Wood row Wilson as a Writer George Wright Woodrow Wilson as a Teacher Harry Demarest Woodroiv Wilson as President John C. Ehner Tributes from Foreign Diplomats Pen rose Saunders Extracts from Wilson s Writings Maurice Prone β Excerps from Speeches and Writings Russell Knight Poem, In Mcmoriirm McKendree Langley On the occasion of Arbor Day tree planting, the Boys ' Club gave as their contribution to the future beauty of the campus a fine American white birch, whose trunk will some day gleam among the trees on the north campus and whose branches will afford shade to the loiterers. If we are to believe the opinions ex- pressed on every hand during the week before Easter vacation, The Boys ' Par- ty, β the occasion on which they enter- tained the school β was the most success- ful social aftair of the year up to the pres- ent writing. The walls of the gymnasium were most attractively decorated with sil- ver-gray di ' aperies, upon which wei ' e fas- tened yellow Easter chickens emerging from white eggs. Rugs, screens, couches, parlor lamps, and tables for games gave the big gymnasium a bright, hospitable, parlor-like appearance which it had never worn before. The guests began to pass 65 the formal reception line at seven-thirty, and were guided by a committee of their hosts to tables . set with games. Before these had grown wearisome, a program was announced, which proceeded smoothly and uninterruptedly β except for encores, as follows : Quartette β Messrs. Albertson, Souder, Knight, and Ebner, Old Black Joe Piano Solo Mr. Albertson Le Papillon β Grieg Playlet The Hosts The Bowerij Night School Characters Muller, a German School Di- rector, Ebner Martine, a French Professor Langley Mickey De Bite, Irish β New Yorker Prone Ikey Esokosky, Jewish student Demarest Mah Jong, Chinese student Souder Guisippe Balonge, Italian student Wright Hans Swartzonheimer, Dutch student Knight Elijah Zachariah William Brown colored student Saunders Vocal Solo Mr. Albertson By the Waters of Minntonka Violin Solo, Mr. Demarest Selected Character Songs . .

Prone and Wright Recitation Mr. Wright ' ' Barbara Frietch ie ' Quartette β Messrs. Albertson, Souder, Knight and Ebner. Refreshments in harmony with the oc- casion were served at the close of the program. We greatly appreciate the ad- vice and assistance of Miss Turner in carrying through this social event. We are also very grateful to Miss Dare for helping us with the musical selections. The officers of our organization are : Grand Exalted Ruler . .John Ebner Vice Grand Exalted.

LIOYD, Scribe 66 THE GIRL RESERVES There is probably no other organization in the district that is doing more for the young women than the Young Women ' s Christian Association. The State Normal School girls feel it is a great opportunity to have a part of this association, the Girl Reserves, as one of the very active of their organizations. Under the leadership of Miss Grace Atkinson, District Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., the following officers have guided the activities to success, Adelaide Bennett, president ; Helen Bar- rington, vice president ; Iva Sharpless, sec- retary; Marion Emory, treasurer; Kath- arine Dorwart, and Estelle Edwards, ser- geant-at-arms. Much credit is also due to Miss Lillian Chambers, Miss Marion Clark, Miss Elizabeth Towne and Miss Ethel Orr who have acted as advisors. The purpose of this organization is To find and give the best. The slogan which is one of the essentials of success is, To face Ufe squarely. The code is as follows : Gracious in manner. Impartial in judgment, Ready for service, Loyal to friends, Reaching toward the best, Earnest in purpose. Seeing the beautiful. Eager for knowledge, Reverent to God, Victorious over self, Ever dependable. Sincere at all times. The Membership Committee with Helen Barrington, chairman; organized a Big Sister movement the purpose of which was to adopt a Little Sister from the Junior class which entered at the mid- year β a relationship which will continue until the Big Sisters are graduated. The Social Committee, under the leadership of Martha Evens planned a series of teas to promote sociability and more cordial rela- tions among the girls of the Senior and Junior classes, and to further acquaintance with the Little Sisters. The Girl Re- serves, through the Social Service Com- mittee of which Betty Suplee was chair- man, adopted a six months old child and supported and clothed it. The Program Committee, with Ella May Johnson, Chair- man, supplied information concerning the activities of the Girl Reserves for the newspapers, in order that the community might see the value of such an organiza- tion. Two other features are a Bible Class formed by Miss Chambers, and a Social Service Class, formed by Miss Atkinson who secured several good speakers for the purpose of advancing interest in this type of work. This organization had the privilege of sending two representatives, Elsie Park- hurst and Helen Barrington, to the Girl Reserves conference which was held at Morristown, N. J., and had the distinction of being the only Normal School in the State so represented. Altogether this first year of existence has been one of interest and it is believed, useful. The members are hoping that the camp at Clayton may be secured for week-end visits, and a new avenue of pleasure be opened up for them. HELEN BARRINGTON. GLEE CLUB NOTES One of the most active organizations in our Normal School is the Glee Club. Under the leadership of Miss Flor- ence Dare, the Director of Music, the club was organized the latter part of October, with a membership of seventy-two. The following are the officers : Accompanist Dorothy Baker President Kathiyn Meridith Vice President Julia Hughes Secretary Reba Bradway Treasurer Josephine Broome Librarian Marion Emory Director Florence Dare On the evenings of March, the fourth and fifth, the club gave its f rst concert, a Spanish Operatta, The Lost Necklace. With the aid of Miss Turner, and Mr. Prosch, and with sixty-seven active mem- bers, the first concert proved to be a de- cided success. The proceeds were given to the Convalescent Home for Disabled Sol- die rs at Clarksboro, N. J. REBECCA SUMMERIL 67 PHI ALPHA PSI LITERARY SOCIETY The Phi Alpha Psi or Pin and Feath- er Society is a Literary Society organized by the Senior I Class, who desired to have a society of their own rather than join Junior organizations. The aims of the Phi Alpha Psi are : To study modern literature, both fiction and poetry; to study and practice parlia- mentary procedure necessary in the con- duct of formal meetings ; to carry on de- bates and to produce programs for en- tertainment in chapel. From the time of organization, poems have been collected and have been assem- bled into a book. It is purposed to have this book in the library as a reference on modern poetry. Modern Literature, by Louis Untermeyer has been purchased and studied. We have no officers and meetings are in charge of the various members and ad- visor. Miss Clark, who has acted as critic. The studyirig of modern literature cul- minated in the presentation of a po ' ogram in chapel which consisted of four selected poems illustrated by Living Pictures. The scene represented a member read- ing from the book of poems which had been collected through the year. The poems selected were: Madonna of the Evening Flowers by Amy Lowell illus- trated by a lovely lady of the cameo type. The rose light of evening approaching with its softening effect, played over her face and blurred the outline of the nodding larkspur and hollyhocks into a mass of beauty, as they hung above her in the garden. Discovered by Paul L. Dunbar formed the theme for the second picture. The third poem picture repi ' esented a Scotch youth with all the love for his na- tive Highlands revealed in his hoppy, care- free face. As the poem was finished, six dancers emerged from behind the frame and danced the Highland Fling, as they bent to the rhythm of the music, and the light of the late afternoon cast shadows about them, the spirit of freedom detached itself from the dancers and made itself felt by those in the audience. In contrast to the wild carefree atmos- phere of the Scotch picture, the represen- tation of Orphan Annie with her pa- tience and her power of holding children with her goblin stories was presented. The last picture showed the insignia of the society in Greek letters Phi Alpha Psi. THE SENIOR FORUM The officers of The Senior Forum are as follows : President Edith Willey Vice President Laura Miller Secretary Mazie Biggs Treasurer Nellie Sambrook Advisor, Charlotte Herckner The Senior Forum was organized for the purpose of affording an opportunity for each member to gain practice in pre- siding at a meeting, and skill in speaking and debating. A second purpose was for the society to become acquainted with the various experiments in educational meth- ods being made throughout the country. In order to realize the first aim the president appointed the different members to preside at the meetings on several oc- casions. The first meetings were devoted to the method of procedure in the organization of societies and the construction of the constitution. As the result of the address of Miss Mar- garet Slattery, who is an authoress and lecturer. Miss Elizabeth Fink gave a com- prehensive book review on the Highway to Leadership, written by Miss Slattery. One of the most valuable programs was Miss Orr ' s report of the N. E. A. conven- tion at Chicago. The society was enablea to more fully appreciate the importance of this meeting, also to be far more inter- ested in the work of National Educational Association and modern educational leaders. As a culmination of the year ' s activities a satire which will embody the aims, and reactions of the year ' s work, will be given in the auditorium. 69 THE WOLOKA LITERARY SOCIETY The aim of this Society is to increase the student ' s knowledge of platform art and to afford opportunity for developing individual talent. We are indebted to Miss Nellie E. Tur- ner, our Faculty Advisor, for the program we have made. She is ever ready to in- spire and guide us. Woloka means Lightning, which is swift, keen, and to the point. Our motto, In Mediae Res, places us In the Midst of Things. Name and motto suggest the inspiring program which we hope to carry out. The time given to Literary Societies has necessarily been limited, and repeatedly encroached upon by other activities, but in spite of these conditions, credible prog- ress has been made. The lirst officers were Miss Florence Leeds, President ; Miss Ethel Boekel, Vice President; Miss Leona Jordan, Secretary; and Miss Josephine Spencer, Treasurer. The Wolokas of this opening year of school β the Charter members, as they may be called β realize that they are laying the foundation and raising the framework of an organization that will, no doubt, exist -as long as the Normal School itself exists. Mindful of this fact, they have exercised the greatest care in moulding the Consti- tution and By-laws, that it may meet the needs not only of the present, but of the future; that it may not only embody the personal desires of the members, but may contain regulations that are to the best interest of the organization. The special Committee having this in charge was made up of the following members and the Fac- ulty Advisor: Miss Inez Garrison, Chair- man ; Miss Katherine Dorwart, and Miss Ada Morgan. A standing Program Committee for this year, consisting of Mr. Maurice Prone, Chairman; Miss Ethel Boeckel, and Miss Katherine Dorwart, have arranged a series of entertainments appropriate for holidays and special occasions, and of a type that will suggest material for entertainments in our own schools. These programs in- clude debates, extemporaneous speeches, orations, recitations, musical selections, dramatizations, pantomines, and a month- ly edition of The Streak, the Society publication. It is deserving of mention that the Wol- oka Literary Society has made arrange- ments for the printing of their Constitu- tion and By-laws, that these may be in permanent form ; that they have purchased suitable and attractive Record Books for both the Secretary and the Treasurer, and gathered the stock of printed forms that these officials are sure to need. The most noteworthy undertaking on the part of the entire membership at tne time of the writing of this article is the entertainment to be given in Assembly. Friday, May 23, when two playlets β Gar- den of Hours and Making tJie World Fit β will be presented as illusti ' ations of Public School Health Dramatics as de- scribed by the representative of The Phila- delphia Interstate Dairy Council. It is to be hoped that the progi-essive- ness and alertness that secured for us the opportunity to present the health plays will mark the Society in the future, and that it may ever hold its own as one of the strong organizations of the School. 70 THE OMEGA DELTA i r that findeth knowledge, findeth light. Omega Delta Literary Society, other- wise known as Society of the Open Door was organized early in the year with thirty members. Its motto is a fitting purpose for the club, which is to keep the door of knowledge open. Gold and Black are the colors of the society. The oft ' lcers of the Club are: President Ruth Bryson Vice President Emily Irving Secretary Iva Sharpless Treasurer Blanche Jones Advisor Elizabeth Towne The society has decided to take modern poetry as a unit of work for study this year. Among the poets to be considered are Louis Untermeyer, who believes that modern American poetry is distinguished by three dominating qualities, namely, its vigor, its vividness and its variety. His book, Modern American Poetry, in which he has made colections and criti- cisms of modern poetry will be one of the books studied. A study of Carl Sandbur g is being looked forward to by the members of the society. Among the others to be included in this study are Robert Frost, Edwin Arlington Robinson, James Oppenheim and Joyce Kilmer. Because of the fact that the society is composed entirely of girls at the present time, there is a desire to study women who are prominent in poetry. Miss Amy Low- ell and Mrs. Jean Undermeyer offer excel- lent opportunities and attention will be given to their productions. The Club has already begun to realize that modern poetry is but a rebirth of the old. Because of this, a short account of the life and character of the poet and a few of his works are being kept in a book, which will be left with the society for use when the present members have taken various posts to open the door of knowledge to the younger children. School, inspiring in its members a spirit of endeavor; encouraging initiative and resourcefulness, developing poise in the presence of an audience. The Sigma Phi Kappa Literary Society, is progressing rapidly toward success. The off ' icers who are helping in this progression are as follows: President Dorothy Baker Vice President Naomi Bright Secretary Beatrice Collins Treasurer Virginia Bozarth The progi-ams of this society have been most novel. Songs, readings and recita- tions have helped make the meetings in- teresting. The society has taken up the challenge of the Tau Phi. The debating team consists of the captain. Miss Estelle Gardella ; Miss Mary Bartch, Miss Evelyn Harris and Miss Gertrude Crystal. SIGMA PHI KAPPA This societ is organized for the purpose of arousing the spirit of helpful co-opera- tion among the students of the Normal THE TAU PHI LITERARY SOCIETY The Tau Phi Literary Society was or- ganized with the following officers: President Russell Knight Vice President Myrtle Jennings Treasurer Julia Hughes Secretary Louise Pierson Ass ' t. Secretary Ada Hawley Librarian Francis Harris Faculty Advisor Miss Amsden The aim of this society is the promoting of literary activities in the school through co-operation with other societies. The motto is Service and Co-operation. A program devoted to a consideration of modern poetry has been carried out. We were especially interested in the question as to whether or not the Normal School should have a school paper and decided to lay the matter before the students in the form of a debate. A challenge was sent to the other literary societies and the Sigma Phi Cappa accepted, and at this writing both organizations are preparing for the battle, so that debating has be- come a feature of this society. This in- terest has not lessened the interest in mod- ern drama, poetry, and prose, however, for the members are deriving much profit through individual and group study of current literature. 71 THE SEI YU KAI LITERARY SOCIETY The officers of this society are: President John Ebner Vice President Rebecca Brandriff Secretary Esther Lotier Treustirer Esther Lotier Faculty Advisor, . .S. G. Winans From the land of the jinrickishas and gay colored kimonos, the name Sei Yu Kai has come. This name means much to the group that claim it as their own and are happy to be known as The Friendly Gathering Literary Society. Since true friends always work together for the interests and advancement of each other, this group quickly found an aim β β’ to study the lives of the best authors and some of their works; to learn more of music and the arts ; to be able to converse familiarly on the important questions of the day. It was decided to study at least four persons of literary worth during the year. A mixed quartette was formed and musical programs were given. Debates on current topics also received attention. Perhaps the accomplishment of which the society is proudest is its paper, The Chatterbox Sei Yu Kai, published month- ly by its editor and staff. Through the suggestion and aid of the faculty advisor the first edition was typed and read at an early meeting, and then placed in the lib- rary that others might read of the activi- ties and ideals of the organization. Looking back and evaluating what has been done, the members feel the society has come to mean literally the comrade- ship and friendship which it had hoped for when the name was selected. 72 ATHLETIC BOARD Officers of the Athletic Association President β Elsie Piirkhurst Vice-President β Elizabeth Green Secretary β Katharine Dorwai ' t Treasurer β Gertrude Kelsey LEADERS ' ORGANIZATION CAPTAINS β Jlildred PaUer, Marion Emory, Elizabeth Theckston, Katharine Dor- wart, Gertrude Kelsey, Elizabelh Green, Ruth Bryson, Elsie Parkhurst, Helen Barriugton.

This brought quite an outpouring of girls and at this time, the captain, Miss Miriam Clark, who later proved an ardent athlete in more ways than one, the manager. Miss Martha Evens and the assistant manager, Miss Amelia Allen, were elected. It was decided that our practice days would be Tuesday ' s and Thursday ' s. Under the careful direction of Mr. Prosch the team did remarkably well, even though he pretended to lose patience with us quite often. It was the first Glassboro Normal School team in any sport. The members of the squad consisted of veterans from such South Jersey High Schools as Gloucester, Collingswood, Had- donfield, Woodbury and Atlantic City. Be- cause our lield was not in condition, all games were played on oui ' opponent ' s fields. The Glassboro Normal School won every game as far as spirit was concerned but as to the number of goals scored, we were not always so victorious. Considerable progress was shown as the season pro- gressed. Our first game was with Woodbury High School at Woodbury which resulted in a score of 4 to 0. The next was with the Gloucester High School team at Gloucester. Our success was the same, 4 to 0. Mr. Boughner took us in the school Bus. Mrs. Savitz and Mrs. Prosch were our chaperons and Miss Dorwort, our cheer leader accompanied us. On November tenth, a game was played with the George School team on their grounds. This was a trip which brought us all out of bed on this Saturday morning very early. It will be memorable in the history of the Normal School, for here, the first goals for the team were scored by Miss Spealer. Miss Greathead and our substitutes managed to let the George School students know there was a Normal School in Glassboro by their vigorous cheering which helped us keep the score 6-2. After a joyous reception the George School Girls piloted us safely to the train. 74 Last but not least was the game with the Trenton Normal School. By this time our girls felt ready for whatever might come their way. We had heard the Tren- ton team was not just easy about our com- ing. At last the time came to blow the first whistle. We can truthfully say the team played for it was not until the sec- ond half that Trenton scored a goal and then as most things come in three ' s, they would have three goals. Just as the ball was about to go over our goal for the fourth time, the final whistle blew. We had tied our greatest rivals with a score of 3 to 3. It was rather hard for Mrs. Prosch to decide for which side she would cheer as she had been closely allied with Ti ' enton last year, but as she held most of our sweaters, she remained faithful to those whom she had so safely guided all the way from Glassboro. The Trenton team entertained us at din- ner, after which we were given time to explore the old Normal School and to decide whether we were glad the new Nor- mal School had been built in the Southern part of New Jei ' sey, after which the team escorted us to the train. When we arrived in Glassboro, the news of the score was old news for the girls at the doi ' mitory had called Trenton many hours before. Special commendation should be given to the squad as a whole for the fine sports- manship which was shown in reporting for the practices. We are looking forward in eager antici- pation to next term when our Athletic field will be completed. With the material already on hand and the new material coming in there will be no team to com- pare with the Hockey team of Glassboro State Normal School in the future. TEAM Goal β Elsie Pa rkhurst.

About seventy-five girls responded to the call. The managers and assistant managers were nominated. The final election I ' e- sulted as follows: Miss Blanche Eppler, Manager ; Miss Estelle Edwards, Assis- tant Manager. However, as the latter made the team, she was not able to con- tinue the duties of her office and Miss Evelyn Harris kindly consented to assist Miss Eppler and at the end of the season was appointed Manager for the following year. Practice games wei ' e scheduled for every Monday and Wednesday, regular games foi Thursday. The first few prac- tices were marked by much enthusiasm, but it began to die out early in December. Mr. Prosch worked hard with the old re- liables who were still sticking to the end and living on hopes. A red letter day β for we were to play with Haddon Heigths, last year ' s South Jersey Champions. We are glad to say the Normal team played a fast game and defeated their worthy ri- vals by a score of 16-1 L The second game was a one-sided vic- tory with a score of 45-15, for the Normal girls completely out-classed the girls from Paulsboro. The most exciting game was played with Haddonfield. Our team was handicapped without the services of two varsity mem- bers. Miss Baker and Miss Casarow and the visitors held the team to a tie score of 19-19. On the thirty-first of January our snap- py rivals fi ' om Trenton came down to give us a thorough trouncing. They succeeded with a score of 54-11. There was a fine showing of the student body at the game and they cheered as they had never cheered before, led by Misses Katherine Dorwart and Pauline Campbell. Our first visitors in February were the girls from Palmyra High School, but their hard playing was of no avail. They soon found it was impossible to defeat the 77 clever Normal team which won by a score of ???? On the fourteenth of February, our friends from the George School paid us a visit. A clean and snappy game ensued, the final score being 27-24 in favor of the visitors. The game with Philadelphia Normal on February 21 was one of excitement and interest. The neighboring school being a stern rival. The game proved an easy victory for the local Normal team who won by a score of 41-19. Last, but not least, we played the snap- py six from Bridgeton High, winning by a score of 35-11. Mr. Prosch expressed himself as pleased with the splendid showing the girls mad for the first year and the entire school is proud of them for they won six games out of eight.

After several practices Lena Casarow was elected captain. The members of the first basketball game were : Edna Whittington, Forward. Lena Casarow, Forward. Esther Brineshultz, Centre. Elizabeth Schwartz, Side Centre Mildred Baker, Guard. Hope Kirschner, Guard. When the members of the varsity squad were chosen, we were proud to say that three of our girls, namely, Hope Kirsch- ner, Lena Casarow, and Mildred Baker were selected for the team. This meant their loss to us but we had Adelaide Ben- net, Mary Lovreg, Marion Mac Farlone, and May Pidgeon to take their places. During the season we played the Senior IPs and Junior IV team. We feel that our class won in spirit even though we did not win all of the games by points. HONORARY LETTERS Blanche Eppler, Manager. Katherine Dowart, Cheer Leader BASKETBALLβ SENIOR II. December 6th β Fatal ThursdaijH Our first game of the season and we had lost. But with Miss Emory and Miss Miller for forwards. Miss Evens and Miss Jenkins for guards together with our side centre. Miss Kulp, our luc k, of course, had to change. We put our heads together and went to woi ' k. By reason of head work and team work our next game showed re- sults. We won by a scoi ' e of 10-6. We kept up this good work until the last game when our team again came to grief going down to defeat before Junior 5 ' s. Per- haps when we have been graduated, we shall have a chance to play them again as an Alumni team and with greater success. The scores are as follows : Senior 2. β 2 Junior 5. β 7 Senior 2. β 14 Junior 2. β 1 Senior 2. β 13 Junior 4. β 8 Senior 2. β 15 Junior 6. β 8 78 Inter Class Basketball BASKETBALLβ JUNIOR L The Junior L basketball team had had a very successful season. Ruth Bryson was captain, Josephine Spencer and Helen Walters were the centre and side centre, respectively.

At the beginning of the term when vol- unteers for the Junior 3 basketball team were called for, the girls responded with enthusiasm. The line-up for the section was as fol- lows : Harriet Van Leer and Helen Bar- rington, captain, who both competently filled the position of side centre; Louise Pierson, Ethel Boeckel, Flora Buzby, guards, who took turns in keeping our op- ponents away from the basket. Frances Barker and Mildred Hardester, our for- wards and Adele Banyard, our faithful substitute. Our team has played seven games, winning three and losing four.

The 1923 Basketball season has been a successful one for the Junior 4 ' s in many ways. Our success was not in the number of games we won but in the good we ac- quii ' ed from these games. No apology need be made for our few victories, as we did our best with the material we had. Good sportsmanship combined with a bet- ter understanding of the game is but a mere mention of what we achieved in this sport. Improvement came to many of us as we played. Among those who deserve the most credit are : Adelaide Reinhardt, Linda Mitchell and Elizabeth Smith. In fact, all the girls did well. We expect to take part in all the athletic activities in the school, and we will need watching in the future. What do you say. Junior 4 ' s? The scores are as follows : Junior 4. β 4 Junior 4. β 11 Junior 4. β 1 Junior 4. β 5 Junior 4 β 9 Junior 4. β 15 Junior 4. β 8 Junior 1. β 25 Junior 2. β 9 Junior 3. β 15 Junior 5. β 28 Junior 6. β 10 Senior 1. β 5 Senior 2.-13 THE JUNIOR SIXES The Junior Six Class had a rather dis- organized career in basketball this season- As fast as we built up a snappy team, members were drafted on the Varsity team. Not withstanding this difficulty, only one game has been lost this term along with a forfeit which was with the consent of both sides. Misses Penino and Rammel played well together as forwards and piled up the scores for us, while Misses Green and War- low were fast centres and showed good teamwork with the help of Miss Shaffer and Miss Bower as side centres. The team was completed by the able and efficient guards, the Misses Pennino, Collins, Howell, Campbell and Jennings, who pi ' e vented many points from being scored. The Junior VPs are also the proud possesors of the captain of the Varsiiy squad, Geraldine Karner, and several of its members, E. Parkhurst, P. Bowers, V. Pennino, and M. Jennings. 79 Echoes From the Classroom Instructor: (In Geography class, point- ting to a map of Pacific Ocean) ' This dot- ted Hne is the famous International Date Line, sometimes called the line of dermark- ation.
