All those who stole on Rackets then. Those who loved Philo best, And others who The Otiice loved l?l Are they gone with the rest ? In those days back in '93, We were such good old friends,-- I wonder if there is, in life, A place where friendship ends ? I wonder if one can forget, And start life all anew, And will time screen in silent years, The friends we loved most true. The bells that summoned us to prayers. In C. V. S. N. S., The music in the Model School,- All-just the same, I guess. . Son1etimes, I think if I could find, Old loves and friends renew, I would go back and rest beneath, The banner of the blue. Yes, it was back in '93, I'rn dreaming now as then, And it may be some will disdain, The candor of my pen 3 But seems to me the whole of life, Is but :L dream, twice told, And some will welcome in the new, And some cling to the old. -HA'r'r1E SPANGLER SHm.I.v. ,,,,.

Echoes of the DaSl It was sometime back in '93, Just the day I can't recall We roamed together, you and me, Lectioneering for Philo's Hall, And every man we met that day, If on campus, hall or stair, We doted as a Philo prize, And guarded him with care. Yes, it was back' in '93, But I think of it again, And wonder after six, long years, Have things changed much since t Has Dr. Eckels' hair turned gray, And is he 'growing old, And must he from the rostrum, now The wicked students, scold ? Does he Psychology dictate, Or lecture on The Brain, And to the inattentive ones, Keep lecturing in vain ? Is he yet kind to honest folks, As in old '93, And do you think he would be glad To see us,-you and n1e ? The others of the Faculty, Just now I most forget 5 I have been told that some are gone, But some are lingering yet,- They say that Dr. Barton's voice, Resounds within those walls, True to o1d'C. V. S. N. S. No matter what befalls. And musing here I live again, Those days of '93, I cannot find my classmates now, Can you tell where they be ? 'lst' hen?

ll. W- C. Zi. N the thirteenth chapter of Paul, the Apostle's letter to the Cor- inthians, he writes this-And now abideth faith, hope, and love: these three but the greatest of these is love. In years to come when we may recall the Young Womanls Christian As- sociation ofthe Cumberland Valley State Normal School, we shall hold in memory the existence of this noblest of virtues- Love. The Association during the year eighteen hundred and ninety-nine may well have had for its motto Love and felt that we were trying to live up to it. Indeed it seemed as though tl1at was our motto, for, in the work as a band of girls it seemed to pervade the atmosphere that Love for God was one of the best, one of the highest qualities that any one girl could wish to possess. When we love God, we keep his commandments. When we love God, we are interested in the welfare of our associates. We feel confident that this love for God has been with us from the many little spiritual feasts we have had during the year. Almost every girl in the school is a member of the Association, if not active they are associate members, and they are so willing to take their part in tl1e work. These are good stout chords that vibrate every time they are called upon to work for Christ in the services, which are held Sunday evenings in the large chapel, immediately after supper. The good we have received from these weekly meetings has proved to be food for the soul. They are so helpful to us in overcoming the trials of the days which intervene. After a week's toil in the classroom we look forward to these meetings with pleasant anticipation. As we cast a retrospective glance in the school record we find a great change in this part of the school life. We find the Young Woman's Christian Association had an early existence, but the workers were not so many as they are to-dayp nor did the students think that the spiritual and religious training was so essential to success as the intellectual training. During our life at the Normal we find a difference, the students seem to have realized the fact that one who is preparing to teach must be well read in not only the sciences, but l1e must also know a great dealwabout the Bible. For what doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul. Some one has said that we are known by the company we keep. A 'fviifn ,
