A College Anthology of - ■i ' C ' f, •■k Nulla Vestigia Retorsum CI The CLMEEHLANE) for 1939 ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE STUDENTS OF STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE SHIPPENSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA volume xxiii DEDICATION Called from earthly labor to eternal peace and who has left a noble name , Mr. Henry L. Burkholder has left imprinted on the scrolls of Shippensburg ' s history the record of a man faithful in the service of education and a successful example of a man sincerely eager to learn and to teach. Beyond this he may be remembered by his eternal vigilance in seeking of opportunities for the betterment of social and educational welfare. Meagre and mediocre though this small volume may be, the Class of 1 939 wishes to commemorate a useful life by humbly dedicating this anthology of our college life to the late Henry L. Burkholder. HENRY L. BURKHOLDER FOREWORD ' One tradition of most schools is the preservation of the contributions and exper- iences of each school year by means of an annual publication. In these days of progressiveness we sometimes forget the memorable and asso- ciate the old and the conventional as being of little value. In the twenty-third edition of the CUMBERLAND we have used as our theme the activities of school children as an indication of our progressive spirit in spite of our clinging to an orthodox year book. If we have preserved the winsome memories and poignant experiences of a year ' s activities at Shippensburg, then our purpose has been fulfilled and our efforts compensated.

At no period in our national history has teaching made a higher challenge to its recruits. Democracy is on trial. The years of development since 1 776 have forged a complicated social and political machine which must now meet the contemptuous threat of the new totalitarian states of Europe. To our ideal of democracy they oppose an ideology wholly different. The teachers of tomorrow must understand democracy, must believe in democracy, and must be capable of ex- plaining democracy that the imperfect achievement of today may become the more perfect accomplishment of tomorrow and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

I [ 22 CONGLOMERATION Faculty On these two pages are the pictures of the men and women who make the Shippensburg philosophy of education a living, breathing actuality. However, in all justice we must admit that they do not look in the classroom or on the campus as they do here. Indeed it may be said that as a whole the faculty are possessors of split per- sonalities. When they face a group of students assembled to acquire credits or knowledge, our instructors seem like pile-driving machines, eternally slugging an assortment of facts and fancies into very resisting minds. However, once outside the classroom, they can be distinguished from the student body only by the fact that the faculty carry books. These, our leaders into the charted lands of learnings, are as marked by their profession as other guides are. They are earnestly and constantly hopeful that the problem student will sometime see the light. They are inexpressibly de- lighted when someone reveals that he has actually thought. Each one sincerely believes that he or she brings to us a small fragment of the elusive truth. To our prejudiced eye their greatest fault is their insistence on our working. To our wondering gaze that characteristic is exceeded only by the realization that they labor unendingly with no reward except an occasional thanks and a fairly regular but incredibly minute salary. Editor ' s note: — Mr. McGuire ' s impression after chuckling at these pictures does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the staff of the CUMBERLAND. [ 23 ] They took part in After his commencement, each mem- ber of the class of 1939 may vainly ask, ' Where are the snows of yesteryear? ' It is a fortunate custom that each class should try to crystallize and hold within the covers of its college year book some bits of this happy span of years. So may the CUMBERLAND of 1939 recall for the class who created it, an interlude of life which must come to an end all too quickly. Mary E. York and Keith B.

We are now seniors and completely convinced of our perfection. For proof we reach over and open a packet of Campus Reflectors dated 1935-1936. Oh yes, we were fresh- men then, weren ' t we? Let ' s see if they appreciated us ... . Freshmen You know them by their vacant stare And attitude so gullible. They drive instructors to despair With stupidities incredible. Sept. 9 — I can never understand why they have a freshman mix. The class seems sufficiently scrambled already. Sept. 10 — We have already learned that the fountain is more than a decoration. Oct. 5 — Dads and Mothers came today. Oct. 6 — Ninety seven cases of homesickness reported. Nov. 23 — We beat Lock Haven today and are now State Teachers College Champ- ions. Who poured the cheer leaders into bed? Dec. 5 — The Doctor said they were addicted. Their response could not have been predicted, for they resented that. Jan. 17 — lolanthe ? You mean those noises in the auditorium were an operetta? Jan. 24 — My Gawd! How do they figure up grades around here? Feb. 3 — Stunt Night. Louiszita gave a reading. March 15 — They draw aside the curtains in the chapel very slowly. A start of horror rippled over the group; Whose head hung from the ceiling? (A quotation from The Travels of Horace Mann. ) April 17 — The purpose of the Dramatic contest is to make freshmen realize they are in college by showing them high school students. May 16 — May day. Little girls in smaller dresses chasing around a great big pole. May 31 — Aren ' t we freshman any more? For a moment our complacency was almost shaken. However, a moment ' s reflection reminds us that true fame comes slowly and we were then only building. Let ' s see these for 1936-1937. Were we even really sophomores .... Sophomores Sophistication superficial. All advisors never heeded. Ever scorning what official : Education sorely needed. Sept. 8 — Those new freshmen are lambs eager for slaughter. Oct. 19 — All the men were in chapel tonight. Down front too. Certainly. You remember Miriam Winslow ' s Dancers. Nov. 20 — They said the referee was cheating, the umpire bribed, and the head- linesman crooked. Which means we lost to Lock Haven 7-9. Dec. 21 — The nice thing about Christmas is that they give us a vacation. Jan. 20 — My Gawd! How do they figure grades around here? Feb. 1 — Stunt Night. Louiszita gave a reading. Mar. 3 — The Siberian singers wear costumes as noisy as their singing. April 23 — Despite clear weather the Soph Hop was wet. May 21 — Some of us are graduating early: or rather, suspending our attendance. Well, those were our moments of relaxation. Why, we can think of some- thing we did as Juniors which make those days seem monotonous. Look, in these Reflectors for 1937-1938 we have Continued on Page 45 [ 25 ] WC StrC «LJ ' ' V a summer s. •ee. ooo  «- ' ' V Uea THELMA BERTHA ACKERSON Chambersburg Intermediate Women ' s Day Student Council 3; English Club 3, 4; W.

Taught before to Hitch Our Wagon to a Star we left the ground in a light but sturdy glider towed by the great airship of the faculty and upper classmen. Many of our members soon surprised their superiors by displaying their abilities in dra- matics, music, football, and track. After electing officers, we held a private party in the gymnasium at which time friendliness was established between the members of the class. We struggled through those final exams and left our Alma Mater for a much needed rest. In the fall of 1938 we joyfully started our second year of college life. With still more enthusiasm than we displayed our first year, we entered into our social and scholastic activities. Knowing just how freshies feel when they enter the whirl of college events, we tried to make the new freshmen forget their parents, sweethearts, and friends at home by entertaining them at a party and dance. Our class again proved its worth when some of its members fulfilled the requirements to become members of Phi Sigma Pi, W. A. A., Varsity Club, Campus Reflector, and the Masquers. The year was brought to a climax by the annual Soph Hop. Looking forward to two more most carefree and eventful years of our lives, we again scampered home for another short holiday.

The ORGANIZATIONS PRAISE DESIRED In the publication of this annual the greatest difficulty lay in combatting the effects produced by procrastination. Exact plan- ning and actual composition of the book were impossible under this prevalent practice, but by pleadings, threats, lies, frowns, and some good luck the staff was able to collect and finally con- struct this year book. We earnestly hope that next year ' s staff will not be confronted with this obstacle, but we warn them sincerely of its inevitable presence. Hoping that your criticism of this publication will lead to improvement of future editions, we will welcome your comments with an attitude of sincerity and open-mindedness.

In making his request for a short article with the RE- FLECTOR as the subject, Pappy probably didn ' t reahze what a tough job it is for anyone accustomed to fiUing twenty-eight columns of fine print each weeiv to write briefly about anything. In spite of the customary difficulties experienced by a group of people faced with the task of locating interesting news, writing and re-writing it in the approved style, arranging it under headlines in which each letter must be counted to assure a perfect fit, and proofreading again and again to eliminate those bothersome errors which pop up inevitably, the staff as a whole feels that they have contributed in a small way to a fuller college life. The receipt of first place from the Pennsylvania School Press Association and hopes for a similar achievement at the Columbia Press Convention stimulated the staff and partially recompensed for the never-ending labor, late hours and conse- quent loss of sleep.

CABINET I a «( fiii « lie ( 60 President ' s Council Dr. Rowland President Mildred Van Leer Secretary John Bay Treasurer The president ' s Council meets on the second Monday of each month. This Council is composed of the elected representatives of the larger student groups together with the Deans and the Business Manager. It budgets the activities fund; determines all matters of general policy, particularly concerning the extra- curricular activities of the college; and advises the President of the college of stu- dent needs and opinions. The Council sends representatives to student government conferences held at other colleges. At these conferences there is an exchange of ideas and different systems of government are discussed. The large conference attended each year by our council is the Eastern States Conference held in New York. I Campus Christian Association One would not suppose that the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. would ever unite and have offspring, but two years ago they did become one. The C. C. A. is the child of this platonic union. The C. C. A. has followed in its parents ' footsteps and now does everything that they did. Its first and most important function is to gather together on every Sunday night in the court of Horton Hall the men and women interested in dis- cussing common problems. Next, the C. C. A. represents Shippensburg in many religious conferences. Also, they sponsor activities such as Parent ' s Day, a Children ' s Christmas Party, and the Big Sister Movement. As a reward for their onerous duties, in the spring the officers of the organiza- tion accompany Mr. Shearer, their sponsor, to Bear Mountain for a steak fry. Jack Douglas President.

They arc only silent partners. This may be rather disappointing to you, since so many of you have seen our menagerie , including Aliquippa . But the council is composed strictly of women who try to preside with comparative dignity over the affairs of the commuting co-eds. They have been successful in fulfilling their goals — to develop the character of the individual student, to aid in controlling the activities of student life, to create a sense of responsibility, reliability, and honor in the minds of the women at large, and to govern with an unbiased and impartial opinion. So far, the governmental side of our council has been stressed. Although we are on campus such a short time, we really have a delightful social life. We started the year with a tea for the freshmen. Then Christmas rolled around and we were put in the mood by Margaret Cochlin ' s unique decoration which set up a fine atmosphere for our party. And last but not least, our girls with the aid of the boarding women stepped forth with a party for the men. According to rumors heard around school it was very successful. r il r L 63 ] I CHAIR -BREAKERS Day Men ' s Student Council Situated in a peaceful section of Old Main, the men ' s day student room is a place where the commuters gather between, during, and after classes. It is a haven of peace and quiet, sometimes. Mostly, however, it is the center of any turmoil in that section of the building. But an inventory after each hostility still shows that the clock keeps time, the radio entertains, and the cots bear the weight of two or three potential users. Even the chairs have developed a resistance to the unchairlike uses made of them. But all is not turmoil. The day student room is a place where the boys gather for bull sessions and various entertainments. This year the men held the first Christmas party ever sanctioned by the o rganization. The room was elaborately decorated for the occasion and entertainment and refreshments were in order. It is the intention of the Men ' s Day Student Council to make this party an annual affair. The co-operation received this year by those connected directly or indirectly with the Day Student Room is greatly appreciated for it is only by individual responsibility that the room can be made beneficial for the greatest number of students. OFFICERS Elwood Gensler President Richard Nell Vice-President Robert Shetron Treasurer James Gebhard Secretary Dr. Wright Sponsor I 64 I WINDOW - SMASHERS Boarding Men ' s Student Council Practicing the theory that the most successful government is the least, the Boarding Men ' s Association is a feeble attempt to govern the men ' s dormitory. The philosophy is anarchy: let each man take care of himself and the administration will replace the broken property. The body of men elected to the Council do not seem very active to the av- erage student; they are not. The Council ' s chief purpose is to express the opinion of the boarding men and as no two men think alike the results are better imagined than described. The only active meeting of the Council is the annual election of next year ' s scapegoats.

It has received the appelation of the wandering debaters because of its extensive travels that find their goals in New York City, Cleveland, Ohio, and Rock Hill, S. C. Beyond these three major trips this past year, the Gamma Delta Gamma participated in four tournaments and had a minor trip to Gettys- burg. Its schedule for the current year includes approximately sixty-five contests on the question, Resolved: that the United States should cease to use public funds for the purpose of stimulating business . Social and forensic successes and failures form the discussion of a regular meeting; and if time permits a mock con- test is held in the hope that perchance the debaters can get some practice or value out of the intra-club tilts. Steadily adding to its laurels for several years, the debating society aug- mented their achievements this year by conducting its first annual home tourna- ment. The success of this event cannot be doubted. It is remembered that Dr. Rowland has sanctioned another tournament for next year. Gamma Theta Upsilon This organization is the youngest fraternity on the campus. It is composed of geography majors and minors who are interested in the promotion of geographic culture. The membership was more than doubled by the entrance of the new members in April. Their work as pledges will long be remembered by them and their fellow members. Geographical topics of general and technical natures are discussed by this national professional fraternity in its meetings along with the sponsor ' s well known stories. Field trips are a part of the fraternity ' s activities, and they are taken to caves, mines, factories, and public buildings and are supposed to gain for the members practical knowledge in relation to geography. The outstanding event of this year ' s program was the annual banquet at which Doctor George Ashley, a state geologist, delivered an educational address on the history of the Susquehanna River valley. It is certain that this address and sub- sequent discussions aroused interest in geology.

That is, those .... who are truly interested in literary activities, broadening their view points, and increasing their appreciation for the finer things in life . However, despite the barrier of its purpose, once a year the club seems human. On Stunt Night the members can be expected to release a slightly bawdy one-act play. Until its interest turned to drama and adapting plays for radio, the club read and reviewed the latest in books. Then, having enlarged its membership and acquired Mickey McGuire as well, the members succeeded in several creative activities.

[ 71 1 U2 y fAces OFFICERS Mary Morgan President W illard Kerr Vice-President Helen Jones Secretary-Treasurer Miss York Sponsor The Masquers is the play-producing group of the college. The organization is conducted to give all of its seventy-nine members experience in every depart- ment of drama, acting, stagecraft, costuming and make-up; and to present a rounded program of play-types, historical, modern, fantasy, comedy and serious plays, both to the members in the weekly meetings and to the college with major productions. [ 72 ] : r POPULAR PRODUCTIONS At the weekly meetings of the Masquers a one-act drama directed by a stu- dent member of the club is presented to the group for its pleasure and criticism. These plays offer members a chance to improve themselves in the various activi- ties of drama. Among the more successful one-act plays were A NIGHT AT AN INN, THE MEDICINE SHOW, A HEART TOO SOON MADE GLAD, and TWO SLATTERNS AND A KING. Several plays were presented in chapel, including A NIGHT AT AN INN, THE DYSPEPTIC OGRE, ILE, and DEAR LITTLE WIFE. To the Shippens- burg High School the cast presented A NIGHT AT AN INN; ILE was repeated for the annual dramatic meet. Miss York produced for the lyceum program THE RIVALS, with Jack Doug- las, Helen Eichelberger, Jean Davis, Roth Berry and Ben Bolhnger as leads; THE CHRISTMAS NIGHTENGALE, starring Zola Lackhove and Margaret Zeiters; THE VANISHING PRINCESS, featuring William Beasom, Duane Kirssin, Bill Haller, and Mildred Crist; FIRST LADY, made memorable by Louiszita Simons; and TWELFTH NIGHT, for the May Day program. The titles of these plays and the names of the authors indicate rather accurate- ly the quality of the Masquer productions. Dunsany, O ' Neil, Sheridan, and Shakespeare are representative of present and past classics. The lighter comedy popular today was produced in FIRST LADY. The acting and the supple- mentaries to the acting, stagecraft and costuming, were more than merely amateur. A portion of the club ' s work which is worthy of note is the annual dramatic meeting. High schools from the service area and beyond it come to the school with one-act plays typical of their work and receive the benefit of professional criticism by a guest of the college. The Masquers then is not only a producer of plays but a stimulation to in- etrest in drama in the district served by the college. [ 73 ] I ' lie I. KxOP.4 l-. ' i -v 1-- THEY STUDY FIGURES?-- r ' ' - ' i ' -- ' ' Art Association OFFICERS Dorothy Bentz President Marie Lenherr Vice-President Carolyn Noftsker Secretary Victor Foreman Treasurer Dr. Clement Sponsor The artistic element of the institution merge together in this organization. They create, debate, and satiate themselves with art — its appreciation, conception, perception and reception. The club acts as a guild system with some members dabbling in the quieter art of sketching and painting murals while others pro- claim their creative ability with vibrational energy via hammer, saws, and print- ing presses. Among their more noteworthy enterprises for public benefit are various chapel programs, and the annual spring exhibit displaying the culmination of their creative urges. A trip to the centers of art in New York City is the final reward and often the only achievement of some of the members. I 74 J I ri . ' V..- ' ' ' ' -AC •2-0 .- ' AND SO D( College Chamber of Commerce OFFICERS Joseph Bowers President Gladding Castle Vice-President Naomi Dearmy Secretary-Treasurer Business Education Staff Sponsors The College Chamber of Commerce is a new group which was organized when Business Education was first introduced to the college curriculum and is open to any student in the Business Department. The activities of the club are to promote interest in the business world and the study of commercial subjects, to encourage a social spirit by offering oppor- tunities for wholesome social contact, and to become familiar with progressive business methods and systems. The organization thus helps to furnish the mem- bers with a wider background of business than is possible to obtain in the formal specialized work of the classroom. All meetings are planned by the various committees and the club sponsors. The majority of the programs center around commercial projects and the mem- bers are given an opportunity to hear men and women outstanding in the business world. Tours of inspection to various establishments in the area are sponsored. During the past year two of the most notable individuals to visit the College Cham- ber of Commerce were Mr. Chester Souceck, former amateur typewriting champion of the world and Mr. George Hossfield, present world champion typist. I 75 AGRARIAN ASSET Country Life Club The Country Life Club is an enormous organization devoted to the study of the problems of rural education. The group is affiliated with the American Country Life Association and the 4-H Club, both of which are national organizations. The membership includes not only those majoring in rural education but also a sprinkling of other fields. The members have entertained themselves and ac- quired knowledge at the same time with speakers from the faculty and disting- uished speakers from the outside. The activities center around the problems of the rural curriculum; among these problems are the place of the arts in rural work and the proper celebrations of special events. This last-mentioned difficulty was presented in dramatized solutions. The most outstanding event in the club ' s calendar was a Rural Education Day. The program consisted of a talk in the chapel, exhibits in several rooms, a banquet garnished with more speeches and a dance. The social life is not ne- glected for the members go to a tea, give several parties, and conclude the year and their write-up with a picnic. OFFICERS J Hazel Krone C . . President c Charles B. R.

Around us from many rooms comes the harsh jangle of alarm clocks. Along the gloomy hallway walks a strange figure, rubbing its sandy eyes, combing its hair with its fingers; unshaven, unwashed, still half-asleep, it stumbles down the stairs, and more by good luck than good management, droops its weary way into the dining room. What is it? Again, the place is any hall near a classroom and the time is 12:15. The bell has time to tinkle only once when the doors are slammed off their hinges in the beginning of The CJharge of the White Brigade . Teachers are trampled, stu- dents are smashed into lockers, windows are broken, the flooring is ripped up and chaos conquers. Why is it? Last, the time is five minutes before the first bell rings for dinner and the place is the dining-room. White-coated figures are sitting on the tables, leap- frogging over chairs, balancing dishes on noses, removing silverware and generally conducting themselves as gentlemen shouldn ' t. Who are they? The curiosities seen rambling the hall in the moring, running the hall at noon, and ruining the banquet-hall in the evening are grouped as the Waiter ' s Asso- ciation. They are sponsored by Miss Kunkle, figure-headed by Jack Douglas, and a pain to the administration. The chief purpose of the group is to bring before the boarding students with as little effort as possible anything that can be prepared in the kitchen. Their chief function is to complain unendingly about what they serve and the way they serve it. Their only achievements are broken dishes and a week ' s vacation with- out pay. OFFICERS Jack Douglas Head Waiter Miss Kunkel Sponsor I 77 ] THEY FOLLOW THE GLEAM BIBLE TRAINING CLUB THEY MOVE IN MANY WAYS I Bible Training Club OFFICERS Lillian Ridenour President Charles Eaton Vice-President Marie Lenherr Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Eisenberg Sponsor The Bible Training C ' lub, sponsored by the Campus Christian Association, is composed of students who are interested in a more intensive study of the Bible. Dr. Eisenberg has assumed responsibilities of faculty advisor and leader and has, through his seemingly unlimited knowledge and magnetic personality, aroused and sustained much interest in the club. During the first semester the club made a general survey of the contents of the Bible. Dr. Eisenberg suggested several books for the members to read which clarified conflicting ideas. Then the club spent some time on the study of mir- acles and their modern manifestations. The meetings which are held every Wednesday afternoon are begun with brief devotions conducted by the individual students. The meeting is then turned over to Dr. Eisenberg who leads the discussion. This year the members have been mainly interested in clarifying their individual religious ideas; however, the purpose of the club is also to discuss vital campus and world problems. Chess Club What do you want to know our officers for? asked the secretary of the Chess Club. We don ' t belong in the book. All we do is play chess with each other. Getting warmer he continued: We aren ' t even an extra-curricular. We don ' t advertise the school by beating state champions. Crowds don ' t come to our matches and cheer wildly. We don ' t contribute to the Activity Fund by charging admission; in fact, I think we would have to pay to have spectators . The secretary was almost wild as he grabbed the staff memb er by the collar. Why, Bucky, he shouted, all we do is enjoy ourselves. We don ' t want people to know we just have fun, so please go away and let us alone . OFFICERS Lee Hoover President Donald Rhodes Secretary Mr. Brunner Sponsor I 79 1 REALISTS International Relations Club OFFICERS Gerald Brinton President Mary Jean Shugars Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Loucks Sponsor The International Relations Club is founded on the belief that the world is in chaos and that the club can help reduce the disorder. Their method of approach to universal problems is talking. Within the club they talk about the past, present and future wars. They find speakers from the college and from groups beyond the college to talk to the club members. They present talks in chapel planned not only by the organization but also by such speakers as Dr. Kirby Page. Last, the club sends its members traveling among the high schools in this area to talk to the students. The chief result they claim from this flow of words is that they and their listeners are able to talk more intelligently about the world crisis. ( 80 I IDEALISTS t7-7J  V- t Philosophical Society OFFICERS Louis Galantucci President Harriet Plough Vice-President Beulah Minnich Secretary Betty Byers Treasurer Miss Kieffer Sponsor The majority of the members of the Philosophical Society are drawn from the class in History and Philosophy of Education. The discussions of this j roup are informal and usually led by a member interested in the topic or otherwise possessing a special background that makes him a capable leader. The topics are chosen by the club and include those of social, historical and philosophical aspects of contemporary life. The activities of the first semester were centered about an extensive review of the book Philosophical Ideas in the United States by Townsend. The books used in this discussion were presented to the college library. Another very important project was the attempt to arouse the curiosity of students during National Education Week. This was accomplished by placing in conspicuous places throughout the institution slogans giving the hidden values of education. [ 81 ] CASH COLLECTORS Student Co-Operative Association This is the one organization on the campus that includes every student as a member. At least this is our opinion based on the fact that the entire student body elects the two officers of the association. Mr. Lackhove is appointed an- nually to receive or coercively collect the activity fee along with the retail store and cafeteria receipts, and other moneys received from lycea programs or athletic contests; and to administer the expenditures of the funds as allocated by the Pres- ident ' s Council. The officers conduct two elections annually: first, the election of the re- cipient of the Eleanor Kyner Boots Service Medal (the faculty have final judg- ment of the winner of this award) ; and second, the election of the new officers of the association. Nominees for the latter are chosen by a committee appointed by the president. The votes are counted by the secretary if she can be found or if she does happen to remember that this is one of her duties. The president also sits in the President ' s Council. OFFICERS John Smeltz President Pauline Spangler Secretary Mr. Lackhove Sponsor [ 82 I EMBRYONIC EINSTEINS Mathematics Club OFFICERS Joseph Rook President Richard Rife Vice-President Lewis Sweger Secretary Ethel Bucher Treasurer Miss Kieffer Sponsor Because it can count its years, this group finds itself to be the oldest club on the campus. Since 1925 the organization has froliced in the pleasant land wher e everything is a number trailed by a question mark. The club attempts to make mathematics not a subject to be avoided until the bills arrive, but a plaything for leisure hours. They achieve this purpose by applying numbers to practical life and by removing figures into the realm of fan- tastic problems. Every year the organization presents to the college some item of general in- terest from the field of mathematics. [ 83 AROUND THE GLOBE Geography Club The aim of the Geography Club is to stimulate and further the work in the field of geography. This is done chiefly through discussions and field trips. This year especially interesting bases for discussion were furnished by the shifting boundaries of the European states and the apparently ever growing interdependence of the nations of the world. The economic aspects of geography were clarified by first hand study of busi- ness plants located in this country. This was accomphshed by means of field trips directed by the club ' s sponsor. Two of these ventures outstanding in interest and educational profit were made to the Eaton Dykeman Paper Plant at Mount Holly Springs and to the Beistle Novelty Works of Shippensburg. OFFICERS Romaine Nell President Mr. Allan Sponsor ' [ 84 ] FIDDLING TIME AWAY the String Ensemble The string ensemble originated by accident. Riciiard Kitzmiller began coach- ing a group of students interested in learning more about their instruments and he ended with an organization that presented a program all by itself. The performance consisted of a concert in which groups from the college, Shippensburg and Chambersburg joined together. The guest soloist was from Wilson College. Parts of the program were recorded during and after the concert. Another function of the group is to play at teas and banquets, presumably to keep the diner ' s attention from his food. The organization is, comparatively speaking, an infant in swaddling clothes, but the director promises that someday the group will crawl from its cradle and grow up to be a symphony orchestra. Richard Kitzmiller Director , [ 85 ] Choral Club OFFICERS Ruth Landis President Betty Byers Vice-President Billie LeRoy Secretary Helen Eichelberger Treasurer Virginia Wirt Pianist Mrs. Hale Sponsor Imagine forty-eight girls in one room. Add to this that they are not talking, which would be more than enough, but that each one is desperately endeavoring to sing. The organization is the Girl ' s Choral Club, famiUar to all the college because of the colorful beauty of the gowns worn in the club ' s annual spring concert. The group is one of the few extra-curriculars which is difficult to enter and in which real work is demanded of the members. The calendar of the club marked three important dates. The first event was sharing the first formal dance of the year with the Men ' s Glee Club. The dance featured Howard Gale ' s Orchestra in a reproduction of the Orchid Room. At Christmas the club joined with the Lutheran Church for an impressive candle-light service. Last, in the spring the group presented a concert in the college auditorium with Mr. Stanley V. Brunner, violinist, as guest artist. Glee Club OFFICERS Stanley Settle President Brinton Gerhart Vice-President George Bond Secretary Milton Dennis Treasurer Herbert Weibley Business Manager Mr. Weaver Sponsor The other half of the first formal dance of the year is the Men ' s Glee Club. This organization affords an opportunity for the men to sing without fear of too violent disapproval. In fact it may be safely said that audiences enjoy hearing the club. The group gave a well-received concert at the college, whisked to Harrisburg for two recitals and a radio broadcast, and visited two different churches in Lewistown. They repeated in Shippensburg and made a southern tour as far as Chambersburg. At the end of the school year the men gave themselves a treat in the form of a party at Pine Grove. The frolic was such a rollicking success that many of the men stayed past their usual bedtime. Speaking of the future, the club predicts greater success for itself as it grows older and better-known. [ 86 ] -M - i SING HIGH CHORAL CLUB ,.1 SING LOW u Zi ' -? 1 GLEE CLUB [ 87 ] FOR MEN ONLY College Band The band this year succeeded in playing music that varied from swing time to the classics. Appearing in public at football games, in chapel and around the fountain in the spring, the band manages to conduct itself in an orderly fashion not obtained on its trips to Bloomsburg and Lock Haven. One of the most appreciated functions of the band is to provide the necessary spirit at football games and in the frequent pep meetings. They are always eager to lead the noisy parades through town and showed their true spirit in the victory parade celebrating the Lock Haven game. The chapel program offered by the band will be remembered because of the satirical manner in which the members presented themselves at the beginning of the program and by their rendition of Alexander ' s Rag Time Band. Much of the color of the band is due to the stately drum-major, the well- balanced color-guard, and the precision of the drills. The band officially announces that it will deeply regret the loss of Milton Dennis, Richard Bentz, Edgar Moul, and Dale Remaly, who have served faithfully during their years in college.

We play only for the thrill of playing , continued the officer, for the feeling of self-satisfaction as a reward for our hours of practice and aesthetic concentration. Then the prominent fiddler became unusually serious, expanded his chest, and with the dignity had only by a person six feet four firmly stated, The orchestra really does some fine work. It plays for all the major school productions besides playing in chapel two times a week. Whenever any other occasion presents itself, our organization can be relied upon to furnish music of any variety. I am told, replied the reporter, that your group has bee n the best in the history of the college, and that your work is not only commendable but some- thing of which the college can be proud. We owe our success to the interpretations and constant efforts of Mr. Weaver, our director, modestly answered the president as he almost forgot the fines he had been told to prepare days before the interview.

The choir is composed of thirty men and women who want practice wearing a gown with dignity and ease. The purpose of the group is to give a sacred atmosphere to the devotional exercises in chapel. They claim responsibility for the overflow of good spirits at Christmas and Easter at which times they gave special concerts. The college has greatly appreciated the earnest efforts of an excellent organ- ization. : The i [ 90 ] The ATHLETIC DIRECTOR J. SETH GROVE Having formerly coached all athletic teams of the college, Mr. Grove is logically the man to be advisor of athletics for the college and has for the past several years guided the destinies of the school ' s athletic teams in masterful fashion. He is unquestionably an excellent sports adminis- trator. The recent rapid increase in the number of extra-curricular activities on the campuses of our educational institutions is evidence of a wide- spread and growing belief in the value of these activities in education. The bookworm, at one time the ideal student, is now generally recog- nized as lacking in important quahties necessary for successful living. Versatihty seems to be desirable in a democracy. These activities should not overshadow, but merely supplement the important work of the classroom. Among the numerous extra-curricular activities found on the modern college campus, competitive sports hold an important position. These activities, prop- erly administered, can teach much that would be difficult to accomplish in the classroom. Good sportsmanship is a prerequisite in life. Consequently, these activities should be available to every student on the campus. It has been grati- fying to watch the remarkable growth of intra-mural sports at Shippensburg. To confine competitive sports to the local campus would be similar to limiting the play of children to the home. Intra-mural sports, while highly desirable, are not sufficient. A broader point of view for the entire college is fostered through the medium of intercollegiate athletics. Good sportsmanship should expand until it is international in scope. J. Seth Grove Athletic Advisor I 92 I f COACHES CLAUDIA C. ROBB As director of Health Education for Women, Miss Robb devotes her time to the athletic program aiming to create and maintain high ideals of sportsmanship. She has unlimited con- tacts with the student body through directing health education activities. The college greatly appreciates her sincere efforts in planning and executing these programs. EDWARD GULIAN Beyond a doubt one of the finest coaches ever to mentor a teachers college athletic team, Eddie Gulian has made Ship- pensburg one of the outstanding teachers colleges from a stand- point of athletics. A graduate of Gettysburg and having an excellent background for coaching, Coach Gulian has won the respect of all those who have played under him as well as all other students who know him. VINTON RAMBO A worthy co-worker with Mr. Gulian, Vint Rambo has proved his competency as a line coach in having developed an outstanding forward wall during his two years at the college. In addition he has brought to our campus an intramural program that is on a par with that of any college in Pennsylvania. KEITH B. ALLAN As tennis coach of the college for several seasons, Mr. Allan has boasted of considerably successful teimis teams and has always kept Shippensburg among the leaders in our intercollegiate matches. [ 93 1 ACTIVE ATHLETES Women ' s Athletic Association OFFICERS Jean Fohl President Ruth Link Vice-President Betty Jane Shoap Secretary Nancy Ferguson Treasurer Miss Robb Sponsor The Women ' s Athletic Association sets as its goal Wholesome Athletic Ac- tivities for the women of the college. They encourage the seasonal sports of hockey, basketball, baseball, tennis, and volleyball plus the year-round sports of shuffleboard, hiking, ping-pong, and archery by intra-mural contests. Athletics for women are supported not only within the college but also in the service area by a high school sports day. Several trips are made to nearby campuses for inter-collegiate sports and a contest was held here. To round completely the lives of its members, the association includes social activities by sponsoring a dance. [ 94 ] COMPLIANT COUNCIL Men ' s Athletic Association OFFICERS William Anderson President Charles Berke Vice-President Adam Zalonka Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Grove Sponsor Mr. Lackhove Business Manager Mr. Gulian Coach, Men ' s Athletics Captains of all major sports The Men ' s Athletic Association is merely an occasional meeting of the cap- tains of all sports. Its reason for existing is to convene several times, approve the schedules previously drawn up by the faculty and decide on the varsity letter awards. The college handbook speaks of several other activities, but the only knowledge the association has of those duties is what the captains read in the book. The council follows the tradition of all good councils by accepting faculty suggestions in the customary yes fashion. Their single claim to public recog- nition is the pleasant job of posing for a picture in the yearbook.

Co-captams Adam Zalonka J Kenneth Madden Manager Ross Bortner 1 Fred Leonard r Assistant Managers William Gallagher 3 Charles Foreman Trainer Living up to pre-season expectations, the 1938 edition of the Red Raiders under the tutelage of Eddie Gulian and Vint Rambo enjoyed one of the most successful seasons a Shippensburg grid machine has ever had. Rolling up a total of six victories, one tie, and one defeat, the Red and Blue eleven climaxed the season with sweet revenge by defeating their arch rivals, Lock Haven who wrestled the mythical teachers college crown from the local team in the final game of the 1936 season. Shippensburg got off to a poor start by dropping their opening game to Slip- pery Rock. After holding a one touchdown margin throughout the first three quarters, our boys showed the effects of insufficient time to get into shape and as a result the Rockets scored two touchdowns in the waning minutes of the game to win — Shippensburg 7 — Slippery Rock 12. After being held to a tie by a strong Kutztown eleven — Shippensburg 6 — Kutztown 6, the locals, playing their first game at home, won their initial game of the season by tripping a strong East Stroudsburg team in a hard fought battle — Shippensburg 19 — East Stroudsburg 14. In their second home game in as many Saturdays, the Gulianites looked none too impressive in beating a scrappy Shepherd (W. Va.) aggregation — Shippensburg 13 — Shepherd 3. On the rebound from a 64 to defeat at the hands of Lock Haven, Blooms- burg was out for blood when the Red Raiders invaded their lair and managed to eke out a one touchdown victory over the Huskies — Shippensburg 7 — Blooms- burg 0. Celebrating our Homecoming Day on the first Saturday in November, the team really found itself to defeat Millersville decisively — Shippensburg 13 — Millersville 0. In their final home game, the Red and Blue literally went to town as they defeated Indiana ' s Indians handily — Shippensburg 28 — Indiana 13. Journeying to Lock Haven to close the season, the Red Raiders and Bald Eagles put on a battle royal in a sea of mud and a steady downpour. Bay passed to Stokes in the end zone late in the first period for the only score of the game — Shippens- burg 6 — Lock Haven 0. r 97 FOLLOW THE mm k ' -! f.spLNSBUSI Or— I OH l m ] i J H JEEii p f Es? Basketball After getting off to a poor start, which is seemingly characteristic of Shippens- burg quintets, Eddie Gulian ' s cagemen finished the season in a blaze of glory to compile a season average of seven wins as against the same number of losses. Opening the season with a four game losing streak, the outlook at the midway point in the season was far from encouraging with the Red Raiders boasting only two wins in seven starts. Just when things looked their blackest the boys started a five game winning streak that carried them to victories over the strongest teachers college quintets in the state including a thrilling five point victory over Millers- ville ' s state champions — the latter ' s only defeat of the season.

BOUNCING BALL - Tennis — 1 938 As was the case with the track team, Coach Allan ' s racqueteers had little time to get in shape for their matches because of inclement weather and an ex- ceptionally long Easter vacation. Rain again stepped into the picture and re- sulted in the postponement of two matches thus shortening an already small schedule for the local netmen. However, the performance of the team in its five matches was creditable inasmuch as it won both of its matches at home while it suffered decisive defeats on the road to finish the season with a record of two wins as against three defeats.

The Red Raiders made up for what they lacked in experience with their fine fighting spirit and willingness to comply with the strenuous preparation for the meets. Despite the fact that the Red and Blue cindermen failed to win either of their regularly scheduled meets their performance on both occasions was highly com- mendable as was their showing in the annual State Teachers College Track Meet. Prospects for the 1939 season are definitely better and their chances of reversing last season ' s record are considerably brighter with the boys having had a year ' s experience coupled with some promising freshmen material. [ 100 ] BALLS AND STRIKES JbJU Baseball - ' Ufl f y- - ' y r Boasting of a successful season on the diamond in 1937 and having lost only two members of the starting Une-up, the outlook for the 1938 baseball season was exceptionally high and we entertained high hopes of bettering the record of nine wins and four losses compiled the preceding season. However, the boys had considerable trouble with the opposition and barely eked out a better than five hundred average as they finished the season with a record of four wins as against three losses.

One, an all teachers college group; the other, a combination of liberal arts colleges and teachers colleges. The Teachers College League includes Kutztown, West Chester, Millersville, and Shippensburg. The members of the other league are Lebanon Valley, Cedar Crest, Susquehanna and Shippensburg. Each year play days are held for both leagues at which time the players meet to become more proficient players and better friends. A successful season was enjoyed by the 1938 hockey squad. Trips were taken to two play days; one at Lebanon Valley, and the other at Kutztown. The team was not only victorious on these occasions, but also in the practice games with the local high school.

This organization of all letter-men of the college is the agency which bears with the plunging half-back, the sharp-shooting forward, the home-run kings, the dash and distance men, and the tennis stars after the roar of the crowd and the victorious pat on the back have become things of the past. It is the purpose of this club to give our athletes some token of appreciation for the part they have played in making Shippensburg a better place in which to live. They spend hours every day practicing to give the students of Shippensburg the best of sports entertainment throughout the year. They are one of the best ways of bringing the college into public limelight. Last but not least, they are a partial cause of college spirit. For all of this, the Varsity Club, with the aid of the student dimes it is able to collect, gives all our athletes of note a pin and trophy, a little something to remind the public of their athletic achievement after their long runs, hard blocks, spectacular long shots, double plays, and ace services have become only memories revived in alumni bull sessions. [ 104 ] INTRAMURAL SPORTS Intramural athletics have come into their own on the local campus, and the various activities engaged in during the past year have proved the place and worth of an intramural program in college. Credit for the success of the program can be given to Mr. Rambo inasmuch as the excellent job he is doing as director of intramural athletics is highly com- mendable. As the result of his tireless efforts we have an intramural program that compares favorably with that of any other teachers college or liberal arts college in Pennsylvania. Prior to the Rambo regime, the only semblance of intramural activity was class basketball and that was very inadequate, to say the least. Today, however, one needs only to recall the basketball league of last winter to prove the efficiency of the comparatively recent program. All of the tournaments undertaken during the past year have been characterized by the same co-operation and success as was that of basketball. The popularity of the present system can be readily seen when the fact is revealed that ninety per cent of the men attending the college take an active part in the many intramural activities. Some of the more prominent sports which go to make up the program are volley ball, basketball, dartball, handball, table tennis, quoits, horseshoes, badminton, shuffle board, tennis, and an annual inter-class track meet. The purpose of the intramural program is to answer the demand for recrea- tional leaders to plan programs for leisure time, thus giving the student preparing for the teaching profession any added advantage that may be possible in the di- recting of such activities in the school. It also gives the average student who is not gifted athletically a chance to learn the fundamentals and engage in active competition. Thus, one can see the vital importance of a well organized intramural pro- gram such as the one at Shippensburg. On the basis of the improvement made during the past two years, it is certain that the future years will bring even a more extensive and attractive intranmral program for the benefit and enjoyment of Shippensburg students.

There are many other things the class would have liked to have left behind; our grades, a better reputation, the worn spot where some of us stood before Dr. Rowland, our ambitions, the many things we left undone (and some we should have left undone), but we decided to take those with us along with the many other memories we ' ll have of Shippensburg. . Signed, CUMBERLAND Will Cmnmittee [ 109 ] WE KNOW THAT I Pledge Allegiance The present senior class came to Shippensburg in 1935, the year of a con- fidence and hope in the future strange to our nation; for we were still in the middle of the greatest depression we had ever known, although seemingly rising from it. The class was a microcosmos of the times: eager, laughing, absorbed in the exciting events within our country and almost unconscious of any occurrence beyond our boundaries. The years from 1935 to 1939 of course were years of change. College life was a vividly new experience to which adjustments were a necessity. For the first time in the long years we had spent in schools, education seemed to have a specific purpose. Gradually we came to realize that we were preparing for our own future and that the preparation brought with it responsibilities, similar to the cares of maturity. In a word, the class began to grow up . Concurrent with the slow maturation of our small class were a series of events that might be termed a foreign invasion. Almost overnight the people became aware of the changes in the lands beyond our borders. After the United States had saved democracy for the world in the Great War, our country gave an approving glance at the brood of newly-fledged and ex- tremely vociferous republics, the children of Versailles; and then, assuming that because our nation in its youth had been able to care for itself so could these new states, we fell asleep. Sometimes our slumber was disturbed for a moment when a young republic tottered and fell; but even then we did nothing except to look drowsily at the shattered state, remark on the weakness of other nations when compared with ours, and drift back into slumber. Then, as we said, almost overnight the American people awakened to the dangers inherent in dictatorships. Before we had been wont to dismiss the new philosophy of a corporate state obedient to one man with a casual shrug and the thought, Well, it ' s good for them, they need a strong leader . But now we became keenly aware of the threat of totalitarianism to our ideal of democracy. To our chilling astonishment we discovered that it had been so long since we had defended our beliefs that we had forgotten how to protect ourselves. The United States, the Rip Van Winkle of the nations, had awakened to find itself in danger and unprepared to fight. [ 110 I YOU ' LL SKIP THIS In remedy of the immediate necessity, under the goad of our press and our weather-vane Congress, the nation re-armed. The army and the navy were given a thorough re-conditioning and large sums of money. The Monroe Doctrine was resurrected, our foreign policy was scrutinized, and the pubUc relaxed. Yet to thoughtful men these activities were good only for today. True pro- tection, they reasoned, is of a more intangible nature: an indefinable spirit, the elusive substance of ideas. Intellectually and emotionally we must believe in the innate superiority of democracy over all other forms of government. Without this belief our ideas are walls of dust, our weapons are rotted wood, and we fail to perpetuate our ideal. This, then, was the decision : not only ourselves, but equally as important the citizens of tomorrow, our children, shall be impregnated with the philosophy of democracy; and we shall achieve our goal through the best possible means, the magnificent educational system of our country. No sudden change in the educational philosophy of our country was an- nounced. For years our leading educators had been saying, Our children should be trained to take a place in our social order . It was easy to slip in as a footnote, . . . . and our democratic social order is the most perfect . The newly-aroused fear of the enemy outside our borders did the rest. In three years the footnote had become the theme. Nor can the changed philosophy be criticized as un-American, for in this country the function of education has always been outlined by our definition of liberty. When in the early days of our republic liberty was the power of a man to pick up his family and move on, education was acclaimed as the instrument for developing a continent. With the rise of an industrial society defining liberty as economic security, men went to school to improve their earning powers. Today liberty is struggling to retain the meaning of the right of a man to think for him- self — the fundamental tenet of democracy — , and education is conceived as the training men receive for thinking. Education is merely the support of democ- racy ' s definition of liberty. The Class of 1939 graduates into this maelstrom, the conflict between de- mocracy and dictatorship. The class is told that they are to be the leaders in the struggle. Theirs is the task of answering those who, when they say I pledge allegiance .... , ask, To what do I give myself? The group must answer. [ 111 ] WE ALSO Lost in Itself Brushing gently against its banks, Flowing so quietly into oblivion, Not even the slightest ripple, So smooth, so tenderly smooth Are her features; yet no secrets Will she unbare to anyone. So solemn, so solemnly still, Just like a sea of eternal dreams Forgetful of time, of life, of place. Aloof from the things around her. Cherishing a life within herself, No cares of whom or what surround her, Just drifting, just lazily drifting. Finally resting, no one knows where. Adam Zalonka [ 112 J i J HAVE POETS I Heard Wild Geese I heard wild geese going north last night And envied them their certain flight Through darkness to an unseen goal. Not knowing what might be before, Not even flying in the light That men demand for common sight, They sped directly for the pole. The cries that kept them one patrol Told me wild geese Went north last night. Above the roar Of city streets I heard them call. They made me seem unseeing, so I cursed their coursing swift and sure And prayed that they would falter, fall. I, blind, wanted blindness f or all When I heard the geese. John McGuire [ 113 ] SHORT STORY Chill Wind He stood by the fountain on the front campus and watched the left porch of Old Main. He scanned it closely for movement, intently, for tendrils of ivy, forming, at the ends of the porches, secluded intimate corners, could hide the shght motions he awaited. The cool night wind of the late-fall night rustled the dead brown leaves of the surrounding trees and drifted on to whisper among the deep-scarlet, autumn- crisped leaves of the ivy. Together the splash of the water in the fountain and the hissing of the wind stroked leaves conspired to sharpen the chill of the night. It was rather the cold within him than the hint of winter in the air which he felt. Fear may chill, and his fear was almost ectasy. Yet when he saw the ex- pected movement on the porch, he sent his cigarette spinning end over end, watched it land in a shower of sparks, and went to meet her. She was waiting for him in the corner, her face high-lighted and shadowed by the light that broke or failed to break past the screen of ivy. She seemed not impatient,— she never did— but calm and poised, as he had expected. Her glance, when she turned at the sound of his step, was level, emotionless. She nodded her greeting; he spoke, Hello, Beloved , trying to match his casualness with her impersonality. It would be those seeming-long moments of silence that he would remember, silence which had been a communion and now was a gulf. This was the first as he waited for her to begin. Her first words were a question that was almost a statement: You received my letter? He nodded, for he did not trust a spoken answer. She, too, did not speak, but let her actions trace her thought; and his mind, focussed on details, concentrated intently on eve ry movement as her right hand tugged her glove from her left. Small hands, well-shaped, well-cared, familiar with work yet scorning any mark of it, warm, firm— with a start he realized she held a ring to him. This is yours, she said. Automatically he took it, admiring her poise. She was looking into his eyes and her gaze never wavered. Neither spoke, neither moved; they let the silence grow between them. He wanted to speak, but his lips were dry. He wet them slowly, seeking words. Then gravely they came: Surely I should know why . Even as he spoke, he knew there would be no answer. There could be none, for men and women do not say such things. But he knew [ 114 ] I ..... The time was the rich lu.xuriance of full summer. Around them were trees, lush with maturity. Before them a lake like restless silver unendingly- washed the white-sanded beach. The air was heavy with the presence of growing things, young, eager, thrusting. That night he had taken her too far, yet not far enough, for he had left her aroused but unsatisfied because — strange paradox — he loved her .... Only once had it happened, because thereafter, untrusting either himself or her, he had restrained And so there was no answer, and could be none, for men and women do not say such things. But both knew. For him, then, there was but one thing to say and from his heart he said it: May I kiss you good-bye? It meant too much to him for her to nod assent with utter unconcern. Love is too akin to hate to be accepted casually; and so it was hatred that ruled him when he kissed her, anger that stirred his mad impulse. His lips met hers with a slow increasing pressure. His arms tightened about her as his hands pressed on the small of her back. He forced her lips against him, let the tip of his tongue wander on her lips, then kissed her where the pulse beat strongest in her throat, mocking love with imacries of its passion. A moment ' s resistance, and she surrendered. Her breath began to come to her in short gasps. She trembled. Beneath his hands her body twisted as she tried to push more closely to him. A sudden intake of breath was released in a low moan. Then he was done. As he had caught her to him, so he released her: abruptly. In swift revulsion for himself he stepped back, disgust churning his stomach. He laughed, short and harsh. His laughter was like a chill wind on a forced hot-house plant. The sound struck her like an unexpected slap, sublimed her passion to anger. Once of course, without thinking, white-faced in betrayal, she hit him. For a long moment their eyes met while his hand touched his cheek. Her breath resumed its even rhythm, her eyes their calm remoteness. In that brief interval of return her self-control invoked her poise. Then she was gone. He watched the swing of her perfect body as she walked away from him. For a long time his ears strained to catch the last echo of her footsteps. A long time he stood there until at last he realized that he was listening to a dead leaf scrape across the porch. Editor ' s Note: — After lengthy deliberation and despite Mr. Allan ' s opinion that this story should appear in Esquire, it is inserted for its vividness, its descriptive power and its addition of variety to our annual. It is the opinion of the staff that the story will be of little value if the reader allows his imagination to hinder the effects of rational thought. I 115 1 POETRY Returning Spring and You The woods were fragrant with the cedars ' scent And filled with rumors of returning spring While rustic birds with calm, unsteady wing Pursued uncertain flights, their ventures bent On carving Beauty in an air that ' s spent Its touch on Nature, foreordained to bring Its ecstasy to man, resolved to sing God ' s praise to earthly things and give such vent To generous emotions — but such thought Of care bring back your face ; your eyes were filled With pensive tenderness; your hair was swept By tear-stained zephyrs and your lips were firm; I lay my head within your lap and thrilled To see your answer to a promise kept. T. O. Conti [ 116 ] FILLER Model Boys Club Seated around a large veneered table in a room decorated with a ruined radio, a well-battered piano and a few pictures, a group of young men made history on the night of November 11, 1938. The men, intent and eager in their intelligent . discussion, were formulating laws and doctrines that were later to become the backbone of the Model Boys Club. After a terrific free-for-all in which no one was victorious, the participants decided that a state of true democracy had been reached, so each was made a vice- president of the organization. Each vice-president chose a particular virtue to sponsor or a vice to combat. The latter group of officers were soon to discover that the influence radiated by the Model Boys would wipe out all vice and would leave them without definite duties to perform. The vice-president in charge of appropriate quotations for revival meetings presented the motto Purity Perseveres and was placed on the exalted list, for this adopted slogan urged the Model Boys to accomplish super-human deeds in the men ' s dormitory. They traced the culprits who had lodged the mattresses, wet blankets and rugs in the laundry chute; persuaded straying men not to make love under stairs, on reception room furniture or in the halls; and presented a drama which uplifted the moral of the entire college as it had never been uplifted before. That the Model Boys frowned on smoking was shown by the sign in the Y room NO SMOKING By Order of the Model Boys Club The result was that the matron did not carry her customary load of one bushel of ashes and butts from this room, but gathered it from the surrounding halls in the morning. Then came the glorious day when the first flag was acquired. One member found or claimed to have found a portion of a lady ' s under-garment. This two- legged affair was soon seen floating in the breeze out of the First vice-president ' s window. But alas, a symbol as valuable as this must be kept under cover, for it was stolen from its mooring and never seen again. The Department of Investi- gation of the Model Boys Club has not as yet discovered the criminal, but its deductions may lead to a definite shake-up of the personnel of the men ' s dormitory. The members of the Model Boys Club have consulted the administration in so many points of order that a meeting of this type is now called a meeting of the presidents . It is rumored that a few seats on the President ' s Council will be reserved for some of the vice-presidents and that a request for funds will be made to finance the annual outing. It is at this picnic that a prominent representative of the Boys Betterment League addresses the members on topics of a suitable nature. As a lasting tribute to the ideals established by the members of this organi- zation, a suitable memorial in the form of a large statue will some day be placed in the court of Horton Hall to remind all women that some men are still virtuous and that their ideal may be involved in beneficial functions of the Model Boys Club. Editor ' s note: — At the last moment we were in need of an article. [ 117 I APOLOGIES Every society must express its emotions in some form or other, and the Poet ' s Corner is a self-appointed spokesman for the college. That the college students may know how they feel, the Poet ' s Corner edits an anthology and sells the book to any one interested in his emotional life. John McGuire trys to govern the verse scribbling group and has succeeded in compiling the anthology under the direction of Mr. George E. Mark. i The activity program of Shippensburg State Teachers College can never be accused of being static ; on the contrary, at all times through the year, students are discovering similar interests and gathering into groups to stimulate the pursuit of those interests. However, as the yearbook has not only a deadline but a lim- ited budget, not all of these organizations could be included in the proper section of this year ' s annual. Yet some tribute must be paid to these organizations and in a sense to the vital creative spirit of the college; therefore, we have set aside this space and sincerely regret that a more fitting and proper acknowledgement was impossible. Dr. Jane Beard wood has inspired the French majors into an earnest and zealous attempt to expand their appreciation and understanding of the country J whose language they study. Virginia Shertz presides over the group. Thomas Conti with the able assistance of Dr. Valentine very capably guides the destiny of the Government Club. This organization always under Mr. Conti ' s leadership studies the practical application of the course in American Government. The group attends the yearly Intercollegiate Conference on Gov- ernment at Harrisburg. Miss Marion Blood, realizing that an important qualification of a good teacher is the proper use of the voice, devoted much of her attention to the improvement of speech through the medium of a Public Speaking Club. A noticeable improve- ment in diction on the campus has been a pleasant and surprising result. The co-operative students of the college because they are so few in number decided to ease their loneliness by meeting in a group known as the Co-operative Club. Within the club they plot deviously to further the co-operative movement and to add to the general understanding of the profoundly searching co-operative philosophy of education. Stanley Settle officiates at the meetings under the sup- ervision of Miss Ruth E. Cunningham. 118 AND THANKS Acknowledgements A CUMBERLAND is impossible without assistance.
