Aikens Whose untiring ertorts nave made mm a staunch inend or all busquehanna students this volume is arrec- tionately dedicated by the Class of 1907 Rev. Charles T. Aikens, A. President Professor of Psychology and Ethics It is with pleasure that we present the name of Rev. Charles T. Aikens, A. M., as President of Susquehanna University. He is a man full of hope and enthusiasm, true to his convictions, true to the principle of honor and right. His motto, Be good, is so well lived by him that no one can be in his presence without feeling that noble influence. He is a gentleman, kind and loving, vigorous and fearless. He enters into all the life of the college. His speeches are neat and witty, always fitted to the occasion. To him the students can ever point as a model, a generous-hearted, honest, noble-spirited man, one of whom we are justly proud and whom we admire. President Aikens, son of A. J. and Lucinda (nee Hassenplug) Aikens, was born in Siglerville, Mifflin County, Pa., December 14, 1860. He taught in the public school near his home from 1877 to 1880. He was enrolled as a student of Missionary Institute in 1881 and graduated in 1883. He also graduated at Gettysburg College and Seminary in 1885 and 1888, respectively. He taught in the Gettysburg Pre- paratory Department for three years. In 1886 and 1887 he was representative of Inter Seminary Alliance at Rochester, N. Y., and Alexandria, Va. Since 1888 he has been the pastor of the Pine Grove Mills charge, in Centre county, Pa. He was President of Central Pennsylvania Synod for four years. Mr. Aikens was also identified with a considerable number of business interests in State College and Centre county. In 1900 he was chosen as one of the directors of Susquehanna University. In 1905, owing to his well-known qualities as a pastor and his unusual executive and business abilities, he was called to the Presidency of the University. President Aikens has taken great interest in his responsible position and has already started Susquehanna on such an upward movement that we believe it will be but a few short years until Susquehanna I niversity will rank among the foremost institutions of our State. ioard of Directors President Rev.

A Senior class history is alone concerned with the things that have happened within the time spent in college. Four years ago our class, twenty in number, entered our beloved institution as Freshmen. Each anticipated a bright future, which we have realized in proportion as we have used the opportunities that were offered. Labor omnia vincit has been made our motto from the beginning, and many times during the short period of our lives have these words given us encouragement and new zeal for work. Obstacles have been surmounted in an energetic and hope- ful manner. At times we were discouraged and almost overwhelmed with difficulties, but again we would catch the faint glimmer of a bright light shining through the dark clouds of mystery, and we would take new courage. Indif- ference and carelessness has not been practiced by any one to any great extent. Opposition was not allowed to block our way, but we met it with an invincible determination which has greatly strengthened our frail ships for the storms on the sea of life. When the time came for us to issue the challenge to our experienced opponents, we did it in a credible manner; but courage failed them to even test our valiancy. In the following year, as no contest for supremacy was offered, it 19 became our duty to teach college etiquette to those inex- perienced by another method. As Junior we were more vitally concerned with the interests of our class and in dis- charging the duties that we owed to our institution. The final period of our college quaternion has quietly crept upon us. We are no longer mindful of petty class differ- ences, but our interests lay in a higher sphere of life. During these four years we have shown ability and talent not alone in fulfilling the requirements of a college curriculum. Much honor has been merited by our class in athletics. Our first victory resulted from a challenge issued by the staunch Seniors when we were Freshmen. The fid- lowing year we contested for the inter-class pennant in field sports. It was a struggle against odds, but by our steadi- ness and unrelenting enemy victory was ours. Our last victory was in basket ball with the Sophomores during the present year. This victory placed us first in this as an inter-class sport, so that we have held the championship as a class in base ball for three years, in field sports for two years and at present possess it in basket ball. Our Alma Mater has acknowledged our efforts ami worth by entrusting to us various places of great responsi- bility. Several managers, captains and editors have been chosen from our number. The presidency of almost every organization in the institution has been filled bv members of the class. From our ranks have arisen those who have upheld our institution ' s name an d honor in state and inter- state contests. Manv, indeed, are the evidences that we have used the available opportunities and that our Alma Mater has put forth much effort to inculcate those higher and nobler prin- ciples in us. But now we are fast approaching the end of this period of preparation. The thought of parting comes to us tinc- tured with sadness. Friendships that have been formed by constant association must in part be severed. The time will soon come when we can not enjov each other ' s com- panionship from day to day. Kindred struggles have so knit our hearts together that ' tis sad to think of a time when this union will be no more. In a short time each of us will lie out in the world pursuing his or her own voca- tion in life, anil wherever we are or whatever we do let us he men and women in the real sense of the word. L t us use the training we have received at the bands of our noble instructors and let us fight the battles bravely and in such a maimer as will reflect honor on our class and institution. May none of us forget the pleasures and struggles that we have passed through under the Brown and Blue. and may we cherish our beloved class with such tenderness and affection that the thought of it in after years will drive away the dark shadows and fill the sad heart with sunshine. I ' ll 1 PF®pfc cy Since I am not a prophet or the son of a prophet, and as they Bay A prophet is without honor in his own coun- try, the thought came over me, like the whine from the fountain at Selin ' s Grove Hall, that perhaps it would ! ■ well, expedient as it were, to find, to seek out from the highways and byways, one with whom I could sweet com- munion hold and find out what the fates hold in store. Thus, while traversing ' the plains of Greese, on the outskirts of Chicago, seeking to find the long lost oracle, 1 happened across a man of commanding appearance, with long unkept heard, dishevelled hair, and whose air pro- claimed him to he from Down where the Limburger grows. In response to my inquiry 7 , as to the location of the famed oracle of Apollo, he, with a wild weird laugh, which almost froze the blood in my veins, replied: Know ' st thou not that I am the prophet of Ivor? I replied, that as a matter of course, I had heard of him. I asked him to un- ravel the mysteries which perplexed my shallow brain. Replied he: Wist thou not, that I am able to peer into the future? This seemed my worldly vision as the one sent to aid me in my task. After some dickering as to the com- pensation, et cetera, I pail him the 100 ducats demanded and he agreed to prophesy ( . K. Then as he turned to go to his retreat to secure his potions, I noticed for the first time the placard pinned to his threadbare vestments, on which was written, When all others fail, consult Mr. Hartz. What mean those words, thought I. He soon returned with a queer, familiar looking object, which on close scrutiny I discovered it to be a goose bone. I then recollected of reading about the aged prophet who lived in the Hartz Mountains. In response to mv question as to how he was able to foretell with the goose bone, he replied, By the spots, ye shall know them. I then gave him the names of those whose fate I wished to foresee. He then took the wish bone and upon rubbing it with his magic fingers, numerous spots or clis- colorations of variegated colors appeared. Here, said he. is a spot, which although dim, is still to be reckoned with. The man that marking represents will find fame and fortune hunting for Darwin ' s Missing Link. 21 He will become a man noted for hi scientific courage in butting against this hitherto unsolved problem. He will later turn from this devious path of science and become an exponent of Blackstone. A negative exponent, I ven- tured to remark. No. said he. not that. He will win renown for his ability in the case of Adam versus Eve. To even up, I asked him the origin of this species. From the town of Middlcsworth, was the seemingly far-distant an- svver. I then surmised that this must lie no other than our stunning brunette, Ira W. Bingaman. Well ! Well ! Here is a peculiar marking. You see there are two -pots adjacent to each other; both small brownish discolor- ations. Look how they are arranged very close to one another | and they seem to lie moving. ) Very peculiar, I remarked, musingly. Ah ! I see. Those two spots were formerly fardistant, in miles, but you see they are coming closer and closer together and will soon unite to form one large dot. These individuals will become great (as befalls their lot I and will become the salt of the earth. They will succor the falling and rescue the perishing. Great will be their reward. Enough, quoth I. I have them spotted, trie Sunday and Annie Beaver. I am sure. I bad forgotten to tell the aged seer that I myself had in- tended to turn the Futurescope upon these fallen people. Fallen in love, 1 mean. But all the world loves a lover. This was two too bad and so we stopped to partake of some refreshments, in which the bone joined us. Freshened somewhat by the refreshments he again began like a man in a heavy stupor. -Look ! Here is a red spot. Ha, I see. A cardinal. I can almost see him. He has a classic, Grecian, Venus de Medici countenance and is reciting the Magnificat A car- dinal, who can that be. The seer looked at the list of names and pointed silently to one. I looked, and lo, it was Thomas Barclay Uber, Senior, no Junior. I ' ll al ' lau it was a surprise. At this juncture we were interrupted by the passage of Pop. Schrader ' s auto. After the sound of the whirring wheels had died away in the distance, the man of mysteries again chanted: One large red spot. A woman. I believe. A school inarm. I can almost see the stern Puritan countenance, with the golden rule in one band and the book in the other. I asked if there were Dot possibly another spot. He replied to the negative. Mary Ruth Fisher Miller. Who ' d a thought it. Once more he consulted the fowl ' s wisdom tooth. I uoticed be was eying attentively a large black spot. Here 21 ' is an interesting character. The spot betokens that he is a farmer, a scientific farmer. As he follows the plow with that serious air, one wonders whether he is not seeking some new element. See he is reading, Piers the Plowman. Great guns, Dutch Benfer. Ah, here is another interesting spot of a yellowish hue. Look, how like Diogenes, he wanders about with a far awav look, his Lanthorn in hand, looking for an honest man. Take notice ! He was business manager of the l!)()li an- nual. James Dber, alias the Silent Partner, did von say? Right you are. By the great horn spoon, exclaimed the prophet, no more spots will appear. We must away to consult the fire that burns eternal; the goose bone ' s charm is broken. We then went down in a great valley to the prophet ' s den. 1 was comfortably seated on the rush covered floor of the cave and thinking what next ; when lo ! the conjurer lifted what I saw to be a huge lid by an unseen spring and the fire shot forth from the bowels of the earth. I then told him the names of the remaining classmates. He replied, I will cast their future upon the curtain of tire. He then uttered some strange sounds and twisted his body into snake like contortions and presto before me appeared a life like picture. The scene was laid in a small country town almost as large as Selin ' s Steddle. Upon the town square, surrounding a gaudily painted wagon, was assembled a large concourse of humanity. The gas light, which looked similar to the one in front of the Alumni Gymnasium, cast a lurid, fantastic glare over the assembled multitude. A man was speaking. His melodious voice seemed to cast a spell over his appreciative audience. On a chair, behind him, sat an individual, attired as a German comedian. The speaker, whom I recognized as none other than Chas. Geise, was declaiming the virtues of Dr. Harter ' .s Electric Bitters. As the Doctor finished his speihl, the comedian began to crack some funny jokes and ended with a Weber and Field ' s pantomine, ml nauseum. I then recognized the voice as Henderson ' s. Tin 1 Doctor, thanks to his persuasive powers, soon sold his huge stock of Electric Hitters. He then told the audience in stentorian tones that the curative properties of the Bitters would be greatly augmented by wearing one of his patent electric belts. While the Doctor was awaiting the psychological moment to pounce upon the reubens, Mr. Henderson entertained the audience by re- citing Little Hoy Blue, with the result that the audience blew homeward. The last scene showed the doctor and his assistant in the village drug store, quaffing their burning thirst with hop soda. 23 Another scene now arose. It was in a large city. The sky was lighted for miles with the glare of an immense conflagration. A whole city block was on tire. Yon can imagine how it looked. Upon the roof of a large office building, conspicuous, as no other being was present, stood outlined a faultlessly attired young man. The lines of care no his face betokened hard study. lie was standing as it were, with Rube Waddel ' s famous Stain of Guilt pose. The young man was taking in the situation by notes and seemed to enjoy being the cynosure of all eyes. I then noticed that he was standing on cakes of frozen H, ( ). The ammonia odor from this queer refrigerator arose in clouds to the bine firmament on high. He must be a newspaper reporter, I mentally exclaimed, As the thickening haze from the H, O somewhat obscured my vision, sometime had elapsed before I recognized Au ' ld Lang Syne Schoch. And now, what? The fire didn ' t disappear nor the prophet, neither did the fountain of fire explode. Listen, my readers, and you shall hear. It is ill luck for a prophet to prophesy. Lest you forget, I might sav in passing, Look around the habitable world, how few know their own g 1, and knowing it pursue. A further continua- tion of this narrative will soon appear, entitled, Twenty years after or how Father Time dulled his sickle. With the author ' s apologies to Alexander Dumas. Prophet. L ' 4 Farewell Classmates, some four years ago, At the dawn of our college days, We were strangers as you know To one another ami to college ways; Now we know and love, classmates dear. These sacred walls, yon towering pine, The river gently Mowing with water clear, The hills whose beauty is divine. Deep shades of the most inviting sort, And Cemetery Hill, a place of our resort. All those loved spots that we adore Shall only now in memory dwell. We shall see them not as in days of yore, So to them we sav farewell. College days, we look with pride ( n thee. Stay with us. Do not go. As days of youth so swiftly glide We feel thee going from us now. Time was when we thought thee long, Thy value to us did not then appear; Now, thy life we would prolong, Had we the power, for many a year. To us, indeed, thou hast given all. ( ur gifts to thee have been very small. And wliile we mourn that we must part From the portals where we love to dwell, We know to others thou must impart, And so to thee we sav farewell. Teachers, who with most tender care Have pointed us all to higher life. Students, with noble characters rare And lives free from viper strife, Parting from thee makes us sigh, But alas ! We must say good-bye. And, now, classmates, is it true That the eve of our college life is here, Musi we sav farewell to you, You, whom we have loved so dear? Yes, dawn, noon and twilight Are gone. The eve is coming fast. ( ver us hover the shadows of night, I ur college days are almost past. Together we have stood these four years Sharing willingly our joys and tears, Struggling together on track and field, In class-ioom and rostrum, as well ; Hut now these strong bonds must yield Ami to our class, we say farewell. A few more days ! How very soon, Into the broad sea of life we sail. Each to tight his battles alone. Each to breast the wind and the gale. .May the Great Spirit — Eternal Eye, Who has permitted us here to dwell, Watch over us until by and by We reach the realms of no farewell.

Before the Pennsylvania Railroad Company thought it tit to abandon their beautiful stream of mirror-like water, as gou lolas (known by the vulgi as canal- boats) traversed the breast of this beautiful body of water, the gondoliers were attracted when stopping ' at the Emporium, sometimes known as the Log Grocery, by an angelic looking little girl. The sweet child would gaze at any newcomer with those beautiful blue eves which speak volumes of love and innocence This child was no other than Mary Esther Hoke Burns, artist of the 1907 l.anthorn. When still quite young she changed her place of abode from the above named place to Selin ' s Grove, and there has since been developing her intellect in the various educational institutions of the town, the Isle of Q. Academy, pre- paratory to Selin ' s Grove Grammar School. Selin ' s Grove High School, and Susquehanna Academy, where she graduated in 1903. She participates in all that goes on in college, jumping four feet in the ladies ' record and then the stick over which they jumped. She does wonderful stunts ' in the laboratory effect of Nessler ' s re-agent upon the tongue. She intends spending her future life taking care of other trying tb teeth and keeping house with the other Junior Mary, who, like her, is going to be a bachelor girl. 28 Lillian Catharine Duppstadt Like all the members of the Junior class, this young lady first saw the world in the country. The great problem which confronted her parents was what name they should give their little daughter. So on account of her charming flower-like face, they decided to name her for that queen of flowers — the lily. Some interested friend, seeing a historical bump upon her infant head, proposed naming her Catharine in honor of Henry VIII, two of whose six wiv es had that name. At Susquehanna University she is known as Lillian Catharine Duppstadt, or by her friends as Dubby. In her early childhood she played and gamboled over the green fields and meadows and a stranger would not have surmised what greatness awaited this simple, unassuming little maiden. She graduated from the Somerset High School and then spending two years at home she decided to entrust her brilliant mind to the care of the Susquehanna faculty. Therefore on the twentieth of September, 1905, the class of 1907 was honored with its new member. She spends most of her time playing the piano and writing papers for English and History, yet according to the Junior characteristic, she has some inclina- tions toward the Laboratory, where she has had some valuable experience in mixing mortar and exploding hydrogen gen- erators. She pitches centre in the Dorm basket ball team and does much else in the line of gymnasium work. She has no educational career before her other than that needed for co-operative home making. 29 M ary rrace Jacob make her ODe time. As tin- How it ever happened that a blundering, thoughtless girl from the wild west should find her way to a town of intellect and learning as is Selin ' s Grove, is more than an amateur biographer should attempt to say. When the seventeen year locusts visited Iowa, there came another creature, and she came to stay. This creature was no new species of grasshopper, but it was Mary Grace Jacobs, born in Wild Ruse Cottage, Pottawatoma county. In her early childhood she showed all the fierceness displayed in the Indian name of the county in which she lived. When still very young, fate turned her steps to Pennsylvania, wh ere she took up her abode in Selin ' s Grove along the noted Susquehanna river. She began her education in the Island School and then attended the Selin ' s Grove High School, where she was given an eight by ten foot diploma in 1902. In 1903 she entered the Freshman class of Susquehanna, the greenest of the green. For a year she was a very timid lass, but in the Sophomore year she became so bold as to assist in removing some flaunting class colors from a Freshman by hand. Elements of western habits mingled with Pennsylvania German characteristics, of those unfortunate creatures who upsets everything in her path, always saying the right thing at the wrong her future, however, she expects to keep house with the other bachelor girl of 1907. 30 Villiam Crawford Stron Rinenart Although about to describe a life so short, yet it proves to be i ce so eventful and filled with such daring exploits that it is one a feeble pen cannot portray. The sub- I ject of this sketch is William Crawford Stroll Rinehart, horn in the district of Plum ( ' reck, Northumberland county, sometime in the year 1895 or 96. At the early age of four years he astonished his family by explaining some of the mysteries of oxidation, reduction and by giving proof ' s of the falsity of phlogiston. He was looked upon as a child wonder and as such was published in the Philadelphia Press. He spent some time in the Plum Creek schools and then came to Susquehanna Academy in the year 1902.

Although robbed of this childish attraction, he still retains those beautiful brown eves, so soulful and trusting, with which he gazes into one ' s face, showing a heart so tender and childlike that one cannot but believe his every utterance. His one and only besetting sin is that of punning, which has caused tears to flow from the eyes of his associates many times ami with which they must hear rather than he robbed of the presence of one so charming and so fascinating. If he excels in one virtue more than in another, it is that of Prof, pulling and bluffing. Being a thoughtful and charitable youth, he will not confine his great intellect within the walls of but one college. Oh, no ! but he intends blessing State college with his presence in a year or two. 31 Joseph Vnght Shaffer It is presumptuous on the part of the biographer to attempt to portray a life tilled with so many v alorous deeds, such rich experiences, tilled with such grand recollections of daring exploits, yet it must be done in some manner, ergo: Lycoming county, up the river, claims the honor of being this young- man ' s native county, hut the year which would be made famous by his name is beyond the writer ' s power of ascertaining, but it is supposed by many it was sometime in the nineteenth century. Joseph in his youth was in many respects like other children and yet he gave ample reason for prophecies of future greatness. He received his early education in the public schools of his ueigh.borh.ood and then decided to try Normal School. This he succeeded in to such a degree that he spent sonic time thereafter training incorrigible youths. But he knows that this is not his calling. Although distasteful the business of school teaching proved so lucrative that he finds it necessary t attend Commercial College for the purpose of learning how to use his wealth acquired in his former oc- cupation. Not yet is he satisfied, he must needs enter the deeper realm.- of learning, branching off into the by-path of chemistry and thence to medicine. Accordingly he entered Susquehanna University in 1903 and astounded the teachers and classes with his wonderful knowledge of things chemical, such as H, S generators anil test tube cleaners. He intends to learn the few little things that he didn ' t acquire at the laboratory at Susquehanna University in Medico Chi. 1907 ' s best wishes will go with him. :;•_ ' Ira Seebold Sassaman ward to his future career In tlic year 14 ' .)2, when Christopher Columbus thought it about time to do something in the line of discovering, in order that future history classes should imt run out of dates, he came to the conclusion to discover Susquehanna University. In order to do this, he was, for custom ' s sake, compelled to discover America first, which he did. Upon arriving ' here he found much to his chagrin that he was not first upon the scene, for an indefinite number of years before, a prodigy fell, i from where, no one knows ) into a county bordering Snyder. The said prodigy had already come upon Susquehanna University, in the little town of Selin ' s Grove, which boasted of seven saloons, five pool-rooms and one church. The prodigy took it into his head to run out the saloons, which he did in the short space of two thus, and in one more week he had established four churches. The pool-rooms he decided to leave un- touched as he might need something bv way of his own diversion. This wonderful person is none other than Ira Seebold Sassaman, sometimes known as Silas. He gave Columbus a seat so far back in the world that that worthy explorer was glad to be sent back to Spain in chains. There is no knowing the age of this aspiring Junior, but he bears his years so well that Susquehanna in general. 1907 in particular, looks for- is still more useful and not less interesting than that of mediaeval times. 33 Juntor Class History The year 1WA was a glorious one for Susquehanna University, for in that year there was ushered into the college a class, though small in numbers, which was in time to become one of the shining lights of that University. The history of the class of 1SHI7 has not a record that causes any reluctance on the part of the historian. We entered the college with but ten members, but we can truly say that what we lacked in numbers was more than atoned for in the unquestioned loyalty of each member and we are proud to say that this trait has followed us through all our college career. Being so small in number, the Soph ' s, our wiser brethren (?), kindly dispensed with the class rush and fear- ing that we would go astray, issued small pamphlets, with a parady of the ten commandments written thereon. Our first goal was made on the ' 2 ' 2d of January, 1!KI4, when after cleverly eluding the Soph ' s, we repaired to the Montour House. Danville, where we spent a very pleasant 34 evening and partook of a very sumptuous supper. We re- turned to Selin ' s Grove the following ' Saturday, after having spent a very pleasant day at the home of our esteemed classmate, Geo. G. Fox. When we returned to school in September, 1904, we were without two of last year ' s members, but these were re- placed by four more, whom we greeted with that same cor- diality that becomes a follower of the royal purple and heliotrope. In the latter part of September, the preassuming Freshies ran up their pennant on a maple tree close to a Soph ' s window. They soon discovered their mistake, much to their humiliation, as our marksman, J. Civile Hoover, immediately lowered that emblem to the dust by one shot from his Winchester rifle. A rough and tumble fight then began for the possession of the flag, which was called to a stop by the head coach, fearing some of his star football men would he injured. ( ur annual banquet was next in order, which was held at the Park Hotel, Williamsport, on the 0th of January, 1905. After the banquet we went to the home of our classmate, Miss Martha Shollenberger, where we were royally entertained, returning to Selin ' s Grove on the fol- lowing day, each one voting he had had the most enjoyable time of his or her life. Our class has been represented in all the different organizations connected with the college. We have also been active in athletics, we being represented on the grid- iron, the diamond, the track, and on the basket ball floor. We have now reached a place in the history of this class where we lay aside the frivolity of our underclass life and look upon the stern reality which looms up before us like a huge mountain, unsurmountable. Hut let this not discourage us, as yet we have not tried to scale its cliffs and barriers which are placed there to discourage us. We should now have our purpose firmly settled in our mind and while striving for our different goals let us each remember that to get the most good out of life we should become true men and women, and when we have reached the goal of ambition honestly and uprightly, we can look back to the days we spent under the tutorship of our alma mater, knowing that we have not laid any blotch on her fair name. Historian. :;:. Sraiper mmmm Optimum i. In the beautiful red-leafed autumn, in the year of Nineteen-three, There appeared in these halls of learning, a class wonderful to see, Not attractive because of its numbers, for of these it had not for praise. But Quality not Quantity was the standard which thev did raise. 2. Semper esse Optimum wa.s the motto which they did choose, And as they climb the steps of college, its spirit they strive not to lose. For fate has frowned upon them in a truly frightful way, But ' tis well known ' tis always darkest just ' ere the dawn of day. o. Fate frowned? So the world looked upon it, but the truth is nut always seen, For the God who sends storms upon the earth, does He our destruction mean ? These severe afflictions not from the ground arise, And oft times the most celestial benedictions, assume this dark disguise? 4. For each year as the number grows smaller, the value of each is shown. Who still remains in this noble class; and as Juniors they journey on. Their friends are inclined to pity, which the Juniors do not attend, Though the goddess of numbers has from them turned, Minerva is still their friend. 5. That her presence is very prominent, is very readily seen, For td this the Profs, will bear witness and daily for three years have been. ' Tis the class of Nineteen-Seven, to whom as fail there is no such word, And flunk is foreign and embodies a fate, which never to them has occurred. Semper esse Optimum, raised high as they journey on, Means not only work, for this wonderful class always had its due share of fun. As Jolly Juniors they are sometimes known, and right well their name they bore, Just before that eleven o ' clock history when they ' d convene just without Proffy ' s door. 7. The sounds coining forth from that corner would make the Prep, children turn green With envy, for a class so joyous as this they had never seen. The objects of their laughter? Well these were varied quite, For it may have been one of Rinehart ' s puns with the point away out of sight. 8. Or just as likely a case being tried, for the presence of arsenic to test, And a judge was called by the plaintiff, to decide whose proof was best. Lowney ' s and fudge are in it, interest is growing quite warm, And at this a few dignified Seniors view the case with quite great alarm. 9. The judge decides in favor of Lowney ' s, which in the near future appear, The court is adjourned and the class convenes, of Charlemagne ' s valor to hear. Thus on they go with work anil fun, well mingled that neither will spoil, And with classics and chemical mixtures they are equally able to toil. 10. On the Roval Purple ami Heliotrope may no sorrow ever dawn. And as pure as the white La France their names, may this class fore ' er journey on. And should trials darken their way, and even thickly come, May this be e ' er their guide, Semper esse Optimum. Poet, ' 07. 37 tatistics off s 07 Age. Height. Weight. Color of Hair. Color of Eyes.

Pa. 42 The fall term of nineteen hundred and five opened and saw our faithful band once more assemble beneath the port- als of dear old 8. U. Although some of our number of previous years were missing, others filled their places with equal credit. We moved along in the full tide of power unmolested until October fourth. On this memorable day our Varsity football team met the Indian eleven at Carlisle. Out of c ' even men that faced the red-skins, seven were Sophomores. The Freshies seeing the weakness this made in our class by 43 the aid of Junior brains, decide to put up their flag. Dur- ing chapel several of their given bunch selected what they thought to be an unsurmountable tree, mounted it and hastily tying their rag to the uppermost branch bade de- fiance. But lo! the dying peals of the organ announce that chapel had closed. As the Sophs emerged from the building they saw hostile colors floating to the breeze. Then by the sharp cornmmands of the President, they assembled and prepared for battle: suddenly the command charge reached their ears. Then with a mighty rush our boys joined in battle. For a while the conflict was fierce and fast, hut it was soon over: the flag was taken and the ground was strewn with the lifeless bodies of Presides. After this defeat the Presides ' feathers laid in place tor several months. Then again their heads were swollen with vanity and their feathers were ruffled with pride, and how were they to be combed this time? Then they cried, basket hall. On December sixteenth the Sophomores were again called to the field of action. And again the Presides heads were lowered by defeat. ( hi January third the Freshies decided to hold their banquet : boarding a wagon drawn by mules, thev repaired to Middleburg, where they enjoyed a repast of bread and milk and such other food as the stomachs of children crave. n February first, Sophomores held their banquet. We did not steal away by night, but at mid-day, with colors Hying we proceeded to the station. It was a happy band that boarded an east bound train for Milton. And as the train left the depot, a mighty roar from the Sophomores was echoed back to the Seniors who bade us farewell with many wishes for a pleasant time. Our class has not only been strong in mind hut ajso strong in body. We rank first as a class in athletics; hav- ing seven men on the Varsity football team, two on the basketball team and four on baseball. We also in the last year have managed football and baseball, and our men have captained various teams. But, dear readers, to a sound mind the past is only an earnest endeavor of the possible; there is little room for idle gratulation. Modern philanthropy itself has invited main ' criticisms. We are told with much justice that she seldom makes great sacrifices ; it is often ostentatious, defeating her own ends by a false humanity : and were the instruments not defective, there is call enough for effort in the magnitude of our future work. Historian. 44 lass Fo m In college ' tis our second year, The present bids our class revere, And numbers now a rounded score We bear the name of Sophomore. When scarce October bad begun The first of battles we bad won, For then it was the Freshies green On verdant campus could be seen. When chapel song had just been sung, Around a cedar tree they hung, Arrayed as though that haughty band Was first and foremost in the land. How well they chose niton a day When half our boys bad gone away, And as it was their only chance They sought to make the first advance. Assailed, the Freshies found at stake Their manhood, which they did forsake: For thus it was they scaled the tree And cowardly set their pepper free. 4:. At last a man held each his own Until by lie our chance was known, Then up he climbed and gained the limb Bv virtue of his pluck and vim. No more that pennant will be borne Save but to ridicule and scorn, Fur to the victor is the spoil, Although it be not worth the toil. Since coloring of well spent years Shall have effect on our careers, As spectral colors blend with each ' Tis ours to hold what others teach. Around us broad life ' s vista lies As hidden scenes before the eyes, And wider grows the realm of thought In beauty as her paths are sought. Some day, should we be known to fame. We ' ll laurel twine our Class ' s name. Forsaking not the cause of right, E ' er upheld by violet and white. 46 ' Class off Ulneteen-Nine Motto : Flower : Colors : Ksse quani videre American Beauty Rose White and Blue Yell Cis-ci !

Having planted them in the same surroundings as the collection of the previous year, but knowing by their capability and hardiness they would thrive and bring forth much more fruit, left them to spread forth their branches and become stanch forms. Thus far, truly, they have developed won- derfully. The gardeners say that these plants for so small a number have borne more fruit in their primitive career than has ever been acquired at Susquehanna. This is only the beginning of their history. The next three years will show what a good foundation mean-. Our self-appointed Guardian Angels ( ? I, the Sophs, were congratulating themselves on the good fortune they were enjoying in not having a huge Freshman class to deal with, but their hopes were b ' .asted in a very short time, for they only thought of the number and not of the sterling quality that permeated each member of ' 09. On the morning of October 4, 1905, the class of ' 09 determined to break the monotony of college life and ruin the fond anticipations with which the Sophs were so im- mensely enjoying themselves. While the docile Sophs were in chapel, two sturdy Freshmen climbed a tall pine tree on the campus, and for the first time unfurled to the morn- ing breeze their pennant made up of White and Blue, which represent the qualities for which every member of the class firmly stands. After much debating and many words the numerically large Sophomore class sauntered forth to the fray. In the first rush they used flour to blind the Freshmen ' s eyes but were most unsuccessful; therefore they made rush after rush, but through the entire conflict the 411 ooble Freshman boys stood firm around the pine from which their colors so gracefully floated. The Sophs anticipating that such noble qualities as the Freshmen have exhibited thus far would shortly far outshine their slovenly habits, posted a code of rules, hop- ing to scare their under-classmen, who greatly exceeded them, both in character and reputation, into subjugation. By doing so they only showed what little confidence they placed in themselves, especially by the rule respecting the Dorm. Realizing all the while that on account of their overbearing audacity and unmannerly impudence thev were not able to acquire the friendship of the fair occupants of Seibert Hall. They readily saw that the character of the Freshmen was far superior to that of theirs and as long as thev held such privileges the Sophs would not be in de- mand. We are sorry to relate that by this cowardly rule they did not better their standing but only lowered it. However it is to their favor that all these rules were broken in less than a week and made the laughing stock of the University. On January 3, 1906, occurred the most enjoyable event of our collegiate year. It was the Freshman b an- quet. The class, accompanied by the President of the University and his wife, left Selin ' s Grove for Middleburg in the afternoon, on the 2.15 train. Upon arriving at Middleburg station we found that the Sophs had learned of our plans and were congregated about the depot, con- gratulating themselves on the easy manner in which thev would capture us and prevent holding the banquet Con- fident that this would be an easy task they made their ap- pearance even before the train stopped. The boys of the class, being too shrewd to be ensnared by such poorly laid plans, continued their journey to the next station, Benfer. The Sophs, seeing they lacked sufficient mental calibre to compete with a class using strategy, gave up the thought of capturing us and returned through the rain to Selin ' s Grove, a wet and greatly humiliated band of wanderers. Upon returning to Middleburg early in the evening we hail no fear of being molested in the least. We repaired to the banquet halls where we surrounded a well-laden table. Mirth and laughter mingled with the feasting. The festivities were prolonged far into the night, and when the early day found the happy party on their way to Selin ' s Grove, they were entertaining memories filled with the delights of the recent revelry which will be retained throughout life. The above is only part of our history. It is not only for the banquet that we burn the midnight oil. There are other feats to be accomplished. There are attainments to be acquired. There are tasks to be performed, which re- quire long hours of faithful toil. As we approach the end of our first collegiate year, we as a class believe we can look without regret upon the year ' s work, and can look for- ward to still better work in years to come.

Under the able instruction of Professors Wallize, Young, Speiglemeyer, Brungart, Walters, Morgan, Woodruff, Xoetling, Hettrick, Stover and Miss Krall, our class has gotten a good start in the languages, literature, history, science, mathematics, etc. The old saying is Well begun is half done. Under Physical Directors Fischer and Yohey, and Coaches Teufel and Marburger, we have made corresponding physical de- velopment. Members of our class have been very active members of the Young Men ' s Christian Association, Clio, Philo, the Musical Union, the Athletic Association and the Athletic Board. Although the members of our class have been too young to take as prominent a part in athletics as some of our predecessors, we have had one athlete on the Gymnasium team, two on the Reserve Football team, and one on the Ladies ' Basketball team. A Sub-Freshman Basketball team was organized in December, 1905, which made a very credit- able record. A very pleasant event was the class picnic, on May 20 1905. After a delightful drive to the Aquaduct. a game o baseball was played. A fine dinner, prepared by our girls was followed by a long walk and a little more baseball After an excellent supper we came back to Selin ' s Grove having spent a very pleasant day. Wherever we go or whatever we do, we will always re- member the days so pleasantly and profitably spent in Sus- quehanna Academy.

However, in the business affairs of daily life it sometimes happens to the very best of men, even the most learned, that at some time in their life comes the dreadful agony of modesty. The very proximity of greatness seems to obscure our vision of it, while interest in our own small affairs is liable to render us human of what is taking place round about us. The main passions and proceedings, together with the virtues and accomplishments of the eleven wise men, take their date from the time of Clago. To record all the mo- nientuous events that have marked the courtship of Hia- watha to his wife, Minnehaha, the Laughing Water, would doubtless cause mental distress to those who have so kindly consented to read this article. Without even a ghost of a show, Barry, Our Little Minister, comes before us exercising his faculties of his a belle, and thereby spilling out the secret of his habitual motives and impulses. Through courtesy then, we shall limit this narrative to such facts as Shulls remarkable progress in (ireek. It is won- derful, the progress he has made since he has entered the Theological Seminary. He, the papa of the Junior class, is now able to read Greek in three different classes. The brilliant work of this child of wisdom and beauty stands forth as a favorable forecast to any man who will Ginger Tuefel up to accomplish his aim of being the angel of the Sunday School. Punctuality in attendance, propriety in behavior, attention to instruction and obedience to rules is only obtained by Bierpunt Morgan, who incubated his classmates. (Incubate means to sit upon.) Throughout all climes, beneath varying skies we have a place for everything. What would this world be without the presence of my classmate. Nature at all times is graceful, whether in city, country or Stewartstown, Pa., and for sheer basbfulness Clago will not mention the name of his ancient, a man of honesty, Bishop George Darling Clarke, of Williamsport, Penna. By grave approbation of the Faculty, the undenied envy of the upper classes, and the moderate estimate of one ' s self, I prefer not to give still deeper reasons for not mentioning the fact that the George courts A-lice in his room. As the night fades into the distant recesses of the past. and when there are no motives to be found for such revenge, it is then that Walters wrestles with cog toothed notes through his horn blowing proclivities. Such accomplishments are only unsurpassed in pitched battle by Dauby as he puts the little ones to rest. From the vestibule of Studentville comes Schrader leading his class like a Texas cyclone, followed by one Ralph, who likes to help in earthly bliss by making Mrs. of the Miss. Yet with sadness do we close the paternal eye, amidst the fumes and balmy odors of the Theological Seminary of Susquehanna University. Many are the men who have gone out in the world to do or die, but those who are left behind go on and suffer in the paths of wisdom and learning. To those who follow we give a place in our school, that they too may eventually, if providentially spared by Fate, the Faculty and the Hebrew, reach the exalted pinnacle of the Seminary. A single item is all I can say for each and every one, although many a truth is said in jest and fun, but it all simply goes to show that Clago knew the clergy perfectly. C. K. A.— ns.

Literature, whether in verse or in prose, describes or states emotion or perception or impressions, imitates the outward forms of animated beings and physiognomically either in the face, or to speak more broadly in the moulding and attitude of the entire figure, displays personal character and effect of passion upon it; whereas painting vitalizes with color the forms of sculpture and extends its range of subjects from animate to inanimate nature, and whereas acting adds speech to the written words of the dramatist and enforces and even qualifies their meaning by vocal inflections and illustrates it by changeful gesture, thus giving the mobility of life to the forms of sculpture and painting ; music embodies the inward feelings of which all those other arts can but ex- hibit the effect. The indefiniteness of musical expression furnishes no argument that music is inexpressive, but is one of the qualities which place it on the highest level of art excellence, enabling it to suggest far more than it displays, and to stimulate the imagination of the witness as much as to exer- cise that of the artist. Music is that one of the fine arts which appropriates the phenomena of sound to the purposes of poetry. It is common to style it the universal language, since it conveys the same emotions to all people. The great Beethoven speaks through the inner soul to a multitude that would be utterly unable to understand except through the harmonies of musical com- position. Thou remember ' st Since once I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid on a dolphin ' s back, Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath. That the rude sea grew civil at her song, And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid ' s music. Shakespeare. 69 Roll of Students Senior Class Miss Margaret C.

The solemn stillness was no marvel now. For she was dead. No sleep so beautiful and calm, so free from trace of pain, so fair to look upon. She seemed a creature fresh from the hand of God, and waiting for the breath of life; not one who had lived and suffered death.

One of the highest attributes of man and that which places him apart from the rest of the animal creation, is the power of this art. By its power multitudes are moved in accordance with the ideas of the individual. Thought becomes universal and is limited only by man ' s receptivity. Henry Ward Beecher said: Training in elocution is the great want of our day; for we are living in a land whose genius, whose history, whose institutions, whose people, eminently demand oratory. There is nothing that draws men more quickly to any center than the hope of hearing important subjects wisely discussed with full fervor of manhood ; and that is oratory — truth bear- ing upon conduct and character sent home by the living force of the full man. 76 Students Anna Beaver Foster Benfer Ira Bingarnan John Henderson Benjamin Houseworth Mary Miller Charles Geise Marion Sehoch Orie Sunday James Uber Thomas Uber Mary Burns Lilian Duppstadt Mary Jacobs Ira Sassaman Joseph Shaffer William Rinehart Robert App Daniel Curran John Houtz Angelina Jackson U.

Mr. G. W. Lilly, the office stenographer at that time, responded. Mr. J. C. Beck also gave instruction in Bookkeeping. The growing demands for this work were so strong that in 1902 a special Business Department was established with Ambrose L. Smith as its first principal. Miss Winifred Stevens and Mr. Edwin P. Sones were his assistants. . In September, 1904, Prof. Smith resigned. Miss Anna I. Kahler was elected principal and Mr. Sones continued as as- sistant. In the fall term of 1905 Mr. Hough was elected as instruc- tor in Bookkeeping, but at the end of the term resigned, and Mr. Sones was selected to fill the position. The general business prosperity and the expansion of commerce have created an unprecedented demand for well trained stenographers. The opportunities were never so great as they are to-day. The day of the so-called stenographer, with only a smattering of shorthand and typewriting, and no skill in execution, has passed. The business man of to-day will not fritter his time away in explaining to the young sten- ographer those things he should have learned in school, or in correcting letters that must be rewritten. A knowledge of business has now become an essential part of education. The student of to-day, looking out upon vastly changed conditions, finds that his natural gifts, how- ever great, are not sufficient in themselves, but must be sup- plemented by thorough, practical and supplemental training, in order to enable him to successfully cope with the business demands of the day. No matter in what occupation or profession a person may be engaged, a knowledge of business will be helpful to him. Every farmer, doctor, lawyer, minister or teacher ought to possess a good business education. To equip young people along the lines above indicated, is the purpose of the School of Business, and in no college is a student given more personal attention, and his work more carefully corrected, than at Susquehanna University School of Business.

Braum Beaver Springs Mary Manhart Selin ' s Grove Agnes Schoch Selin ' s Grove s:, Co-EduMtlon It may be true that necessity is the mo ther of invention, but it is not true that economy was the mother of co-educa- tion. This is the view of the fact that is generally taken, but it is an injustice to our forefathers to lay such accusations upon their memories. But co-education undoubtedly had a worthy cause for its beginning, as all such great and perma- nent movements have. When the world began to look to all phases of its civiliza- tion, after laying off almost all of its mediaeval customs, it was brought to light how vain and empty some of the habits and manners of the people of the middle ages really were. The position occupied by woman at that time was so different from that of modern times that this difference may not be described by a modern girl. Yet we know that co-education is not a remnant of medievalism. Woman was then treated, in some instances, as an angel or goddess, or some other superhuman being, when in fact she was no more than a human being just as she is to-day and usually wants to be regarded as such. It was no mere coincidence that chivalry and monasticism existed and flourished together, for as may be easily seen, both were based upon an exaggerated idea of importance of sex. Then the ideal woman was held to be the embodiment of personal beauty and the object of romantic love, but to-day she no longer wishes these two virtues to be the bound- ary of her charms. The true woman is she who grows, not she who is manu- factured by social restrictions and prescriptions, and in no other way may she be better fitted for facing the problems of life (not the least of which is man) than by being in contact with humanity in general. There are a few perverted minds whose inclination seems to be toward a reaction to medievalism, who advocate sepa- rate education. They, however, simply expound psycho- logical theories and can give no practical proof. This figure has been aptly drawn : The more complete the insulation the higher the potential rises on each side until instead of com- paratively harmless sparking we get a dangerous thunder- bolt. For how natural it is for youths to disobey rules when these rules are made too stringent and too numerous to coin- cide with the sense of personal dignity. The evils which are sometimes attributed to co-education exist, not because of it but in spite of it. This so-called silliness is supposed to be more prevalent in Eastern than in Western states, where co-education flourishes more widely than does separate education. We do not believe that this subject for so much contro- versy has failed, or will fail, so long as it embraces only peo- ple who are in possession of sufficient dignity to bear them- selves in any walk of life. Apparently Tennyson did not regard men and women as beings of such vastly different spheres, when he wrote these lines : For woman is not undeveloped man, But diverse ; could we make her as the man, Sweet love were slain ; his dearest bond is this, Not like to like, but like in difference, Yet in the long years liker they must grow ; The man be more of woman, she of man, He gain in sweetness and in moral height, Nor lose the wrestling themes that throw the world. She mental breadth nor fail in childward care, Nor lose the childlike in the larger mind, Till at the last she set herself to man, Like perfect music unto noble words. ORGANIZATION I Y.M.CA.

Gavman 94 Pill® History At the roll call of the first meeting of Philo, the number of unanswered names was startling. It seemed as though almost all who had left the University had been Philo ' s. It was rather discouraging to begin with so few members, but it is not always quantity that counts, which is shown by the ex- cellent programs and full hall at all our sessions. The mass meeting held during December was the most enthusiastic affair of its kind ever held within the halls of Susquehanna. And since that meeting Philo has been steadily increasing, both numerically and intellectually, and her meet- ings have been of educational and earnest interest from first to last. This has been effected by the great desire for self culture aroused in the members. Philo has made one of the greatest strides in her history. One harmonious cord is sounding throughout the whole so- ciety. The old members are working with untiring efforts and the fruits of their labors can be seen in the full program and large enrollment of new students. This shows that our students at Susquehanna University are taking advantage of the self-culture opportunities afforded at the institution. A man who has a great amount of book knowledge stored away so securely that he cannot express it, has in a large measure failed in the accomplishing of the true end of education. The literary societies are the tools by which one is taught to logically express his thoughts, and it can therefore be seen that they play no mean role in the col- lege life of to-day. While we as Philos have reason to be proud of our ac- complishments in the past, we may not neglect the present, or the future will suffer. Judging from the glorious past we can see nothing but prosperity in the future. Let us continue to be loyal, and our banner will ever float on the highest pinnacle of success. 95 ' ■Ionian Literary Sooloty Motto: Colors: Mentalis Ordo et Moralis Dignitas Old Gold and Blue Officers Miss Anna Beaver . „ President J.

When it was instituted it was des- tined for a while to be the rival of the other society which was instituted at about the same time. Many and amusing are the tales which the old grads relate when they return to the institution and are present at the society meetings, but these days of rivalry are over, the elimination of the feud line has been accomplished and more good is being accomplished by both societies as a result. By this elimination we have done away with the narrowness of mind and selfishness of character which existed before and we are now a happy fam- ily, each working for the betterment of himself and others. The programmes which Clio has been rendering are of the highest order, the debates are well chosen and well dis- cussed, while the specialties rendered by the ladies of the Conservatory are generally appreciated by all. Our new piano adds much to these selections. Her membership has increased wonderfully thus far and has eclipsed the records of former years. Clio has sent out some great men, some of whose names are on the tongues of people all over the world. Pr. Day, the greatest missionary of his time, was one of Clio ' s sons, as is our beloved president. Clio need not be ashamed of any of her members for they have all been dutiful sons and daughters, and when one returns to his beloved Alma Mater he can point to Clio ' s ban- ner and say with pride, To that banner I owe all my literary training.

In football we made a good record ; in teams of our class we were victorious, and even held the Carlisle Indians to a good score on her own grounds and defeated the reserve team which she sent to Susquehanna. We also surprised Wesleyan College in Connecticut, holding them to a score of 24 to 0, which would have been less had the umpire been impartial. In Basket Ball we had an enviable record. We defeated all the teams we played that were in our class, and held Bucknell, Indians, State and Lehigh to very close scores. Much of the success of the team was due to the fact that with the exception of Cap. Stauffer, none of last year ' s team had left the college, though Khinehart was unfortunate enough at the beginning of the season to break his collar bone, but nevertheless he was seen in the game after but two games had been played and played in his old form. The prospects of a Base Ball team is very good. Must of the men on last year ' s team have returned to school and a good team can be expected. 131 Ladies ' Basket Ball Team Yohey Coach 0. E.

Walters 138 ur Little llilsitr Our little minister or what the man in the moon saw. Truly this is a subject which presents to our imagination many graven images. What did the man in the moon see ? That is the question. That he sees many things, many occur- rences, cannot be gainsaid, but this one event of which I wish to speak, was one that was so important in one individual ' s life that the man who lives in the green cheese country took an eye opener and looked wise. How could he do otherwise ? This is the story he told me: One beautiful autumn evening when the brown leaves were falling and the farmer was wending his way. homeward, a bright-eyed young man step- ped from the Pullman car at Selin ' s Grove and after looking in vain for the street cars betook himself to an omnibus as it were, and was driven out to- the house of too much trouble, better known as Susquehanna University. To relate the events that followed in this young man ' s career would be tiresome to my readers ; needless to say he was of a retiring disposition. He usually went to his downy couch at 8 P. M. When he arose we know not. That he was fond of a rose that bloomed in some sweet dell was rumored. He was beautiful as beauty goes. There was not much beauty of the face, but beauty of the soul. The co-eds were stuck on him, if you will permit the slang, but that is not much for some of the girls are naturally stuck up, at least they tell us so. To draw this wily bachelor from his recluse was the mmmum bonum of the fair sex. They even had anight shirt parade. 1 might state in passing that the faculty heaved a sigh of reli ef when it was found that the gowns were worn over their go-to-meeting clothes. They also sang for his bene- fit, Come and Spoon with Me. Even this resort was of no avail. I forgot to remark that the young man in question was now a student in Theology. After the above stated escapade, which goes to show that girls will be girls, the fair co-eds settled down and awaited developments. In the winter term A. D. 1906, a rustic beauty whose classic mould of countenance made many turn green with envy entered the prison doors of Le Hall De Sei- bert. A furore was caused among the Y. W. Y. M. C. A. folks when a few days later this Venus de Milo was seen in the company of this young man. There was a rustle and hustle which was heard all over Bustle town and Veritas wrote Y. M. seen in company of Y. W. 0. K. What is pe- culiar is the fact that they seemed to be old acquaintances. This was afterward verified by the young man in a quaint manner, which I will not relate, as it would make the Queen ' s English take to the woods. I might state that it was the old, old story, fallen in love. What a sweet thing on which to contemplate. Our young man now seemed to take a new lease of life and it was made out in the name of the young woman. The lease will expire when the young couple find the — missing link — the Parson— which binds so many for good or ill. By this chain of circumstantial evidence a jury com- posed of the accused one ' s peers found the young man guilty and what do you think in the denouement it appears that it was Grandma Clark and And-der-son. Wouldn ' t that shake you up some? They say that they will be married in the near future in the little church round the corner. A little advice brother Clark. N.

The co-eds viewed the campus Forbidden by rules, to tread ; Their path was narrow and hard, And onlv went straight ahead. From the green eden, The angry man drove all before, And the wail was stifled As he closed the door. With a look and a longing, And a dare to do, Their nerves were strengthened, Anil the S.

As the path grows longer, Ami we scatter for life, Will the rules be remodeled To help in the strife? i.. c. i . 151 Mm Intt rvl w with Ira 1. Bingaman As the Editor of this annual heard that Mr. Ira W. Bingaman of Middlesworth, Pa., had evolved some new Fads and Fancies on the question of Prohibition, he there- fore sent one of the staff to interview him. The following is a faithful account of the interview : The reporter, after climbing one flight of the golden stair? of Selin ' s Grove Hall, finally found himself at the door of the great man ' s private office. After some fear and trembling, the latch string was softly pulled, whereupon the reporter ' s ears were greeted with a gruff Come in. Entering the dimly lighted room with a soft tread, so as not to disturb the great man ' s thoughts, the reporter was asked to be seated. The great man was seated at his desk literally covered with papers and periodicals, which be was scanning with an eagle- eye. After waiting about three-quarters of an hour, the great man turned bis chair and asked what can I do for you, at the same time surveying the reporter with a look that was dis- concerting to say the least. The representative of the Annual then asked Mr. Bingaman to expostulate on his new theory of prohibitionizing the world. There ain ' t no use a talkin ' , said the great man, as he squirted nigh on to one-half pint of well seasoned tobacco juice between a box of notions and a bundle of newspapers, and hit a knot hole in the floor, which he was aiming at, square. There ain ' t no use a talkin ' , he repeated, while he surveyed with a heap of satisfaction the accuracy of his shot, For politics are get- ing worse and worse every year and prohibition with its moral tendencies is the only solution to the problem. They can cartoon and ridicule us prohibitionists in the newspaper, but what care we, we know that we are right; and right makes might. However by means of the ' Subway Tavern ' and other improvements in the ' Inn line, ' the cause has made great strides this year, continued the great man, as he let another half pint drive toward the knot hole and missed it this time, but hit the off-side of Silas Swallow Sassaman ' s countenance, which bad a prominent place on the state page of the uppermost newspaper. Mr. Bingaman was somewhat flurried by his had aim but soon regained his usual com- posure. Xext year we expect greater things when Silas and me go on the stump. The great man ' s salivary glands did not, evidently, belong to the union, for they seemed to be working over time, and when he ejaculated another quart, 153 he missed the knot hole again but hit the box of notions and great was the fall thereof. The great reformer ' s heart now became so full of his subject that he was at a loss for words. The reporter now inquired as to the extent of the conversions to the creed of Prohibition at Susquehanna University. The anti-booze man then took a big chew of Town Talk, ' ' which seemed to put his spirits in a livelier vein. The con- versions to the cause here have been many; and it is a source of considerable satisfaction to me, that I was the means of reforming some of my fellow class mates. Here the great champagner named as object lessons, Mr. Orie Sunday and Miss Marion Schoch. These he said, he had saved from a drunkard ' s grave by showing them the evil of their ways. As the room was very warm, the Annual ' s ink slinger here made mention that he was suffering from a bad headache. Mr. Bingaman then hastily rose from his chair and extracted a leather covered flask from a secret medicine chest. Here is something to relieve you. It is no whiskey, I ven- tured to remark. The great man here held up his hands in holy horror and told me it was Peruna. I was very careful to follow my friend ' s directions, and only took half a bottle, which relieved me instantly. The great man then said he considered the interview ended. After a parting dose of medicine, so as to prevent future headaches, with the illus- trious reformer, the scribe wended his way down the stairs, and as the roads were almost impassable, being covered with cinder and sawdust, the newspaper man was compelled to hail a passing cab. which carried him safely to the tiain. lo4 q osr - pifce tyWWUj O-C PS fOOf ®f a Dream (1)0 perfect, peaceful Tuesday night, Fit close of day of work, That the innocent Co-Eds Never tried to shirk.

The Co-Eds listened And heard a professor say: (6) That wondrous spirits hovered ( ) er the campus at night Who screeched and groaned. But vanquished in the light. (7) Their fluttering hearts Betrayed by ghastly faces, Gave the boys away As they paused in public places. (8) One man saw the Co-Eds, And shuddered in his pain ; We must blame them Or they will call us tame. (9) Slowly unraveling the bewildering maze, The meaning of it all, The Co-Eds determined to discover As soon as night would fall. (10) Through the dark They stole in doubtful ways, That upon the hideous monster They might cast their gaze. I 11 I Oh, wild light forms of night! A noise that chilled the heart.
