Ph.D. HARVEY DANIEL HOOVER, B. D.. Ph. D. Harvey Daniel Hoover, son of Samuel Enoch an:l Joanna Jane Hoover, was born June 17, 1880, near New Oxford, Adams Co., Pa. After attending the public school for seven terms of six months each, he attended one term of select school at New Oxford and one term of local Normal School at Abbotstown, Pa. In the fall of ' 94 he entered the Sub Fresh- man class of Stevens Hall Preparatory School at Gettysburg and in ' 95 and ' 96 was a Freshman in Pennsylvania Col- lege at the same place. Owing to illness, he was compelled to leave college soon after the opening of the spring term of ' 96, completing the work of his Freshman year under a private tutor during the ensuing summer. In the fall of ' 96 he entered the Sophmore Class of Susquehanna University. During the year of 1897 he did some private tutoring, teaching a class conditioned in preparatory Latin. He was an active worker in all the religious organizations of the school, having taught a Y. M. C. A. Bible class during every year of his college course and also having taught at different times a Personal Workers class and a Mission class. He was a member of the first Student ' olunteer Mission Band of Susquehanna, which conducted an active campaign among the churches in the vicinity of Selinsgrove. Upon his return from the Northfield Bible Conference in 1897, at Northfield, Mass., he spent part of his summer vacation doing evangelistic work under the auspices of the State Y. M. C. A. During this year his travels, which were mainlj ' in religious work, led him into eleven states of the Union. He graduated from college in ' 99 with the degree of A. B. and three years later from the Theological Seminary with the degree of B. D. During the same year he received the degree of A. M. Immediately upon his graduation he began his post-graduate course in sociology, economics and philosophy, under, the direction of the faculty of Illinois Wesleyan University, at Bloomington, 111. In 1907 this university conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Phil- osophy in Social Sciences. After his graduation from Seminary he served as pastor of the Friedens Lutheran Pastorate at Friedens, Somerset County, Pa., until 1904, when he was called to be pastor of Hebron Evangelical Lutheran Church, of East Pittsburg, Pa., where he faithfully served his people until the year 1907, when he was called by the Board of Directors of Susquehanna LIniversity to the chair of Practical Theology and Apologetics in the Theological Department and Sociology, Economics and English Bible in the Collegiate Department of his Alma Mater. At the present time he is a member of the American Sociological Society, the American Statistical Association, the National P ducational Association and the American Society for Scientific Research. 4 ilfii km GREETINGS 3 TFai.h ' inl Kind reader, to you the Class of 1910 extends greeting.

The years swift pass; And four have gone from us with not a thought Of breaking ties. But now, alas, We know the sadness of — Farewell. Dear friends, ' tis sad to say good-bye; But now we must; our ways soon part. Shake hands! The tear you see within each eye. The unseen sadness in each heart, — These speak what we would say — Farewell. Classmates, the day comes on apace, When we in grief our class must sever. Just now we see each other face to face, But soon — too soon — and that forever, We shall have said our last — Farewell. The end is here. ' Tis time to go. Farewell! Farewell! — Our words to you. God bless your lives, help you in grace to grow. Progressing on from false to true. How hard it is to say — Farewell. May you be strong, courageous, wise; May you be faithful, true in trial; And may you live aright, and nobly rise Above the base, the mean, and vile, Till to the world you say — Farewell. —Poet ' 09 23 Senior History 111 tracing out the history of things, the historian often finds great difficulty in arriving at the true beginning of them. He also finds trouble in assigning adequate causes to many phenomena. Some such difficulties would come to him who would attempt a thorough history of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Nine. When did this class begin its existence as a class? Not in 1905, unless we allow a great deal for the changing personnel of classes. There is a possibility that a graduating class may not contain an original member of the Freshman Class. At least two-thirds of the class were not present here at the opening of the Fall Term in 1905. Yet as a class we have had regular growth and attendance sufficient to enable the historian to tell something of the activity of the class as a unit. Much more could be told if the circumstances had been different. The number of members in the class has been frequently changed. It is now eleven and has been so for the last two years. But one girl graces our number and her in- fluence and charming manner have ever had a wholesom; effect upon the rough masculinity of its other members. As a class we have always been a factor to be recko ' .ied with in the institution, sometimes perverse, more often, we hope, good. In the days of class scraps we were heard of and gave a good account of ourselves. In class contests we usually acquitted ourselves creditably. Individuals of the class have often brought honor upon it. Intellectually, they have done well in the class room, on the rostra of both literary societies and in the contests for the prizes that are offered from time to time. The class has given assistant teachers to the academy, an assistant librarian to the institu- tion, singers to the glee club, leaders and officers in the Y. M. C. A. and members to the dramatic club. Some of its members have served on the staff of The Susquehanna. In athletics the class has always had representatives on the college teams and has furnished captains and managers. According to the differences of talent, disposition and inclina- tion, some are preparing for the ministry, some for teaching and some for other professions and vocations. In the sciences and liberal studies some have elected one course of study, others another. Now, after all the changes incident to four years (more or less, as you are minded to consider it) fraught with hard work, pleasures, disappointment, mistakes, and victories as well, we have at last to face the fact that our college days are near the close. We are sad to say good-bye, sad to take leave of the dear old school around which so many memories cling and sad to part with the friends and associates we have made here. Parting with some of them means parting forever. But we are glad when we look back upon the rich treasures of the past, held dear in our memories. We will cherish them and not forget them. The difficulties, discouragements, and hardships of the past seem less 24 terrible now in the light of the present. Reflection on this fact ought to make us more courageous to meet the trials that must surely come to us as we go through life. We know of no way of judging tlie future but by the past. In so much, only as we have been earnest, hard work- ing, conscientious students, we may predict reasonable success for the members of the class. We do not make the error of supposing that we stand upon some pinnacle from whence we are about to step down to an awe struck world to be received like e.xpected saviours. Saviours are not received in that manner. Besides, there are hundreds of in- stitutions sending out at the same time with Susquehanna, as many graduates as she is. Some are sending out more, and all these graduates are presumably as well trained and taught and as eager as ourselves. The world will have need of them according as they have made themselves useful to it. But withal, we look with happy anticipation to the labor and service in the world that awaits us, glad that we are somewhat equipped to do for ourselves, society, humanity and God. Historian ' 09 25 Senior Prophecy ' Twas a clear, cold night in early March. Outside, the stars twinkled and danced in the keen air, but within the electric lamp cast its warm brightness over the shining beakers and tubes of my long laboratory with great good cheer. I had been working for many hours with those beakers, striving to realize my fondest hope-that of discovering the future. For I am a dreamer. I believed that in each person, there were certain qualities, which so combined as to produce unnatural growth, would reveal the after life. That just as the flower, under the influence of artificial heat, blooms before it ' s time, so the germs of success and ambition properly nourished would show signs of what was to come. But so far, failure had been my reward and the row of little amber vials, each of which contained a few drops of the life fluid of my friends, given for the sake of experiment, seemed to mock me as they flashed in the light. Discouraged, I poured chemical after chemical into the test-tube, neither noting nor caring what it was, hoping against hope that I might find the true solution. Finally to a portion I added a drop or two from one of the amber bottles and sank back into a chair to watch the result. Within the tube, the bright red liquid seethed and bubbled as it had so oft before, the light flashing and playing in a m riad of colors. But all at once there was a change. Grad- ually the colors faded and the liquid became clear as crystal. Then a slight milkiness clouded the tube and in the cen- ter I saw a quaint, little Dutch church. The bell was swinging in the tower and around the door stood three or four farmers. Up the path to the church came the minister, slowly and thoughtfully, his curly hair lifted by the gentle breeze. I had found it! This, then, was the true solution. Feverishly I reached for the bottle and there was the name, A. C. CURRAN. Success had attended my efforts, for now I had what I had long sought. Taking the bottle marked Thompson, I poured some into the e.ssence and after bubbling had subsided a brilliant scene appeared within the tube. There stretched long stands to left and right filled to the brim with excited people. Below, the white soil and green sod showed in sharp contrast to the running forms of players. And there at short- stop stood TOMMY, resting easily after a magnificent one-handed catch. The third bottle brought no result.- At times the liquid seemed to be about to clear and then the inrushing atoms clouded over once more. The bottle was labeled gaylor, and remembering how near and dear the two had been be- fore, I added the contents of a tiny vial marked dutch. Instantly there was a change and soon I saw a large, new farm house along a country road. On the porch, a man clad in blue jeans, rocked slowly back and forth in an arm chair, gazing about him with great contentment. Beside him stood a little woman with sunbonnet and apron, scattering corn to a breed of chicks about the yard. Then the picture faded and the liquid grew red once more. 26 The next bottle produced a scene in a court-room. The judges in their black robes, the jury with their fixed attention, the lawyers with t heir briefs and books, all stood out clearly in the tiny tube. And there, pleading with an eloquence that brought tears to the eyes of those about him, stood WALTER, waving his hand majestically toward the prisoner. He sat down, the jury conferred without leaving the box and then the judge spoke to the prisoner. With a look of astonishm-ent he left the docket. He was free. As the crowd surged forward to congratulate the lawyer the picture dimmed, though a ray of sunlight glinted on his hair to the last. After the usual procedure, I found myself looking at a magnificent home. The marble front, the massive pillars all betokened wealth and success. The scene seemed strange; apparently it was in England. The door opened and two flunkies appeared on either side. A carriage dashed up as the master came down the steps. Dressed in the height of fashion and bearing himself like a lord, he entered the carriage which drove rapidly away. But not before I had rec- ognized the man as l.WVRENce. Evidently he was a rich mine owner and business man in London, the home of his people. The seventh bottle, after much trouble, gave the scene of a large school room. Rows of desks filled by busy pupils stretched out into the background. At the front a large class was reciting, and at the desk sat the teacher expounding the whys and wherefores to the assembled pupils. His hair was gray and his face stern, but often a smile wreathed his countenance as he explained the lesson to the class Puzzled as to who it could be I reached for the vial and read the name irwin. Evidently the principal of a large and successful high school, respected and loved by his pupils. The scene still lingered in the tube as though loath to pass away and leave nothing but its memory behind. There were but few bottles left. In fact, only three, labeled Ross, Seiler and Swope. Only a little of the true solution remained, so I carefully divided it into four parts, one of which I would analyze and so obtain the exact pro- portions of the fluids it contained. A few drops from one of the remaining vials, the same bright bubbling, and then a scene of waving grain and tasseled corn. In the distance the roofs and spires of a town showed on a little rise and behind them rose the dim and misty outlines of a mountain range. Along this dusty road in the foreground, a gang of men were working, .some with sledge and stakes, others with rod and chain. At one side of the road stood a transit and behind it was our old friend SEILER, giving directions for the work. It was a party of government surveyors, with George at its head, preparing a detailed survey of the state roads. The next scene was one of a city church. The numerous pews were filled with fashionable men and women; the choir of youths and men in cossacks wound its way slowly up the aisle; the minister in his gown reached forth his hands from the pulpit. At the front were boys and girls in confirmation dress, waiting for their acceptance into the church. The vial was marked ross. His great revival services in New York had attracted more attention and had 27 been attended by greater success than any ever held. His words had attracted not only the poor, but the rich; the magnetism of his words liad brought hundreds to the fold. And this was but one of his many services. Then the liquids grew red once more. The last bottle showed a large studio. On the walls were rows of pictures, and stacks of photographs l ittered the tables about the room. In the rear a large camera and other photographic paraphernalia were visible, while in the many chairs were several patrons. Tiie door opened and a large, fine looking man came forward, bowing to the people and conversing with several. b. nnen swope had at last found his place. The call of the camera had been louder than the call of the ministry, and he had answered it. But now the vials were exhausted. I turned to the last portion of the fluid, determined to analyze it, so that thesecret might be revealed. I stopped to light my pipe and having done so took up the tube. Scarcely had I taken it when a flash of flame burst from it and the glass flew in all directions. I had kept the match in my hand and the glowing end had ignited the gases given off from the tube. Thus did the secret solution pass away from human ken. I have tried again and again, but in vain. Nevertheless, O cla.ss of 1909, remember the fortellings are true, for I myself have seen them .

In gridiron feats and victories Of every sort and kind, In keen debates and contests of Both intellect and mind From many towns of Uncle Sam Her students hither came, That they might help to hold on high, Our Alma Mater ' s name. In many ranks and classes did These students all convene, — Grave Seniors, Juniors, blustering Sophs, And even Freshmen, green. These classes all were very fine. Yet neither tongue nor pen, Was needed to proclaim the fame Of Nineteen Hundred Ten. The Orange and Black victorious. Was ever in the lead, And long as strength and mind shall last, They never shall recede. Then classmates up ! be strong and true. The time is near at hand, When this fond year shall then have passed. And Seniors we will stand. So, let us work, that when we shift These scenes, which we all cherish. The fame of Nineteen Hundred Ten, Will live and never perish. Poet ' 10. 32 Junior Class History About the middle of September, 1906, Susquehanna University ushered into her midst a class that she will always look upon with pride and admiration Some of us had been prepared in the S. U. Academy, while others came from various High Schools and Preparatory Schools scattered throughout the country. As Freshmen we conducted ourselves in such an approved manner that we soon won the respect and esteem of all. As our motto suggests, we not only perceived sterling ideas but executed them as well. Our supposed domi- nants, the Sophs, at first tried to wield the Big Stick over us. However shortly after our arrival we unfurled our pennant to their view and after attacking it for several hours as best they knew how they decided that the Fresh- man Class was not one to be trifled with. When our turn as Sophomores came, we prepared to teach the Freshmen early that they were to bow to their superiors. Alas! such a thing ought not to be. At least our famous peace and good-will Faculty thought so. When we investigated the condition of affairs we discovered that a good share of the preparator} ' students were lined up under the guise of Freshmen. This fact did not daunt us, however, and we were already rushing forth to assail our trembling enemy, when lol and behold! there arrayed against us stood the Faculty. At a sign from Prexie they shouted in unison, these things dare not be. We, realizing our duty as mortal beings to recognize certain author- ity, withdrew our ranks but carried with us the satisfaction of knowing and of having our friends judge what the outcome would have been. In our Junior year we find ourselves in the midway, at which place we are better able to appreciate the opportunities which are ours, and view our future stay here with a keener interest than before. We have succeeded not only intellectually but physically. Our class has been well represented on the foot ball, basketball and base ball teams since our first arrival at S. U. We have conducted ourselves so as to meet the favor of all, rather than the praise of a select few. Just as the tiny brook can be traced through the fields as far as the eye can see by the verdant grandeur along its banks, so we hope that in passing down our meadow of college life, we too may leave some pleasing sight and thought — a memorial for 1910.

Her bright and sunny disposition has helped us through many a long hour during the past few years. Libby has a dainty battery of hazel brown eyes which aid her signally as a scintillating society luminary. She inclines to verbosity (now don ' t for a second confuse this word with obesity) and has a special weakness for quizzing the Profs. But she does her best to atone for this by nodding her head in confirmation of any Professor ' s .statements. How to get a Graft by E. E. Ta3dor ' 10. This book is of special interest to University students. The promising young writer says that the plan consists simply in smiling benignantly at the Profs. Their treatment must be as sweet as honey. But whatever else may be said of Libby, in this we all agree, The world hath not her like, There be worse and there be better. 35 i . i IP- Walter H. Traub Sunbury, Pa.

Chippie is howling low bass with the glee club. He has taken every one by storm with his rich, mellow tones and brought himself into prominence for the first time. He is a great lover of music, but could not carry a tune if you put it in a basket and hung it on his arm. His ears laugh while his mouth goes by. It has been said that in this he greatly resembles his quadruped first cousin. He is the elongated tooth- pick of the class and barely casts a shadow. He is so fond of argument that he will not even eat anything that agrees with him. He possesses a fair understanding — No. 8 shoes clinging tightly to his feet. And they call him Chippy. Traub is very fond of his pseudonym and is frequently heard to remark, Who steals my purse steals trash, but he who filches from me my good name . He is a perfect incubator of witticisms and is famed for the stock of good stories that he carries around under his hat. Judging from this quality of his character he will be a most excellent preacher. Susquehanna will never forget Chippy, but will ever be ready to say, I remembered him well and I remembered him worthy of thy praise. 36 Ethel Leotta Smyser Selinsgrove, Pa. Prepared at Susquehanna Academy; Philo; Classical; Teaching. Much to the surprise of all the University students, during her Sophomore year, Betzy had a severe attack of cupidic heart trouble from which she has never recovered. The case is hopeless and it occa- sions her classmates, with only one exception, great sorrow that she should have fallen so young. Speaking in terms of units of length, Betzy is the short of the class, but nevertheless has contributed much to the brilliant record of her class by her keen intelligence. Betz is our satire dispenser, in the use of which she has no superior, if a peer in S. U. No Professor is allowed to answer her back. She burns much midnight oil, some with the light turned up, studying, and soms with the light turned down — Nuf ced. The course of true love never did run smooth says Betz. She knows because she had a sad experience. It was during a recitation one day that the inspiration for versification came to Betz. Knowing of a certain young man ' s love for the beautiful she passed him the following with dreadful results: ' Such harmony of color, I ne ' er before had seen, The thing was red around the head, the other parts all green. Withal we can say for Betzy, Long shall we seek her likeness. 37 Warrex V . Ixkrote Selinsgrove, Pa.

Warren Webster Inkrote first saw the light of Old Sol the day after his birth, for it is generally believed that the sun was eclipsed on that momentous day. The fame of him spread abroad rapidly, and it was rumored among the neighbors that a second Webster had come to America, for the head of the child was of a prodigious size. From childhood he has been taught to depend upon his own resources, which trait of character is remarkably beneficial to him in the class room, for when knowledge fails him he can put up a splendid bluff. Web has had splendid offers to join circuses for the purpose of ex- exhibiting his big head, but he has determined to become an M. D. , in which position he will very ably assist those who are desirous of throwing off this mortal coil. He is well read, having red hair, usually wears red socks, is a ready manipulator of the deck, and is always ready to torment some poor individual and make life miserable for him. Verily, verily. Old Nick will yet come into possession of his own. 38 Mary Abigail Phillips Selinsgrove, Pa. Prepared at Selinsgrove High School; Philo; Scientific; Teaching. This is not the Mary who possessed a lamb. The only fad this young lady has is studying. She is now in a continual study concerning her occupation in the saccharine futurity, but it is easy to see in what direction her inclinations turn, because she now presides over her table three times a day. Mary could not be termed entirely green even in her Freshman year because of a mass of glorious red hair. She is always combing and yet is never combed — the lady with the naturally kinky hair, who is the only specimen of her kind in our class. She is one of the shining lights of her class, not only because of the aforesaid hair but because of her qualities as a student and her ability in elocution. Her voice is as musical as an Aeolian harp, and its dulcet tones vibrate upon one ' s auditory nerve with frightful rapidity, producing a soporific rather than an ecstatic effect. She is undecided whether she shall take an A. B. or an A. M; these standing to her respectfully for a boy, a man. Finally Mary, although she does not possess a lamb, is indispensable to the school life of 1910. 39 George B. Manhart Selinsgrove, Pa. Prepared at Susquehanna Academy; Philo; Prohibition League; Ass ' t Bus. M ' gr. of The Susquehanna; Conserv atory Orchestra; Classical; Teaching. Rube is not as big a rube as he looks. He is in fact a model young man. He never uses profane words in Selinsgrove Hall because he lives in town, and when in the presence of ladies, the faculty, or his paternal ancestor, he is believed to permit his cuss words to escape inwardly. Mr. Manhart is a ladies ' man. He enjoys the intimate acquaintance of his grand-mother, mother, sister and even some of his aunts, and there is every reason to believe that he loves and is beloved by them. He spends his leisure time in tending his father ' s flock — of chickens. These chickens do not crow and cluck like other chickens but go about making funny noises which George taught them. He is very obliging and will make these noisss for any one free of charge. When you hear them you feel that he must have a great pain, and that you must run for the paregoric bottle. He heard somewhere that people go to college to study, and so he studies — -for no other reason. He is preparing himself to teach, and he will undoubtedly make a iirilliant success in teaching poker and crap shooting to all new students, as he is an adept in these arts. 40 Allen Clayton Shue Selinsgrove, Pa. Prepared at York Collegiate Institute and Dickinson College; Methodist Ministry; Entered Junior Class Fall of ' 08; Classical. What wonderful phenomenon have we here ! A Shue (shoe) 68 inches long. This Shue is a minister but this does not prevent him from getting a shine on occasionally. He possesses a butter milk growth of hirsute appendages upon his upper lip. His walk is very characteristic; he puts one foot ahead and then goes back to bring the other one up. He is a regular absentee in chapel, but attends classes regularly and is a patient listener — but that is all. He is a hard student and college extras have no allurements for him, but why should they? He has a wife in town. Rev. Shue is benignant, pacific and magnanimous. He preaches in the Methodist church in town and his people do penance for an hour both morning and even- ing every Sabbath by listening to him. He comes to us a little late, but we are glad to welcome him and give him a place among the faithful. 41 i Arthur C. Harris Pittsburg, Pa. Prepared at Susquehanna Academy; Philo; Y. M. C.

As the pin is bent so is the strong man inclined — to get up suddenly. If you ever get into an argu- ment with a young man whose temperature is inclined to get up suddenly, you will know that you have met Artie. But Artie realizes his evil propensity, and he often remarks that heat may be useful under a boiler but it ' s a nuisance under the hat. This young gentleman is remarkable for the noises he emits when he tries to sing. He is strictly honest and upright, and will not keep anything that does not belong to him. It is probably for this reason that he cannot keep a tUne. He possesses a choice selection of slang and also of profane words, and is making strenuous efforts to reconcile pulpit oratory to his ver- nacular. Arthur is one of our star performers in college athletics and brings great honor both to his class and to his Alma Mater. His favorite study is the one which he thinks he is going to have in his parsonage when he becomes a minister. i-i Clyde W. Shaffer Homer City, Pa.

He is a great lover of Mifflinburg and is continually talk- ing about the beauty of the place, which beauty happens to be a young lady and not the scenery. William is the possessor of a very high frontal piece which denotes either great intellectuality or is due to the fact that his crinose appendages are getting scarce. He has a wonderful voice, or rather did have once upon a time. It now resembles the trombone bass of a frog, or more explicitly, a cross-cut saw striking a knot. He has poetical proclivities, but as an Irishman once said: He is as much a poet as a sheep is a go-at. He believes he would rather live in a pen than by one. Weary Willie is not only tired of work but is even tired of living alone. However he is determined to become an engineer and because of his gentlemanly and polite de-meanor he is apt to be a civil engineer. 43 Marguerite Davis Potter Selinsgrove, Pa. Prepared at Susquehanna Academy; Pres. of Junior Class; Philo; Con- servatory of Music; Scientific. Friendship often ends in love. ' ' The poet tells us this and it is very evident when we examine this one particular case in our class. The progressive steps have been noted with keen interest by all students since our Freshman year and we are satisfied that it has run its course. Kit has caught herself believing that this is all a dream and is often heard muttering, Oh ! if this is a dream let me sleep on. Our Kit is a girl of unbounded imagination, unlimited exaggeration and unsophisticated equivocation, consequently it has not been difficult for her to pursue her studies satisfactorily thus far. As a student she spends all her time on her books so she has no time for recitations — a good student but a poor reciter. Strange faces appear in public plnces, hence we sometimes see Kit in chapel. The prospect for success in the brilliant musical career which is before her is the pride of her class. 1910 never tires of lauding her wonderful talent as Susquehanna ' s Prima Donna. 44 George Ammon Reitz Fishers Ferry, Pa. Prepared at Susquehanna Academy; Y. M. C. A.; Scientific; Engineering. This noble Junior, knavish dwarf, Cupid Reitz, is the premier girl heart breaker of th e class. In some manner, however, this Dan Cupid accidentally shot himself, and now he travels a well beaten path to town. He stands for woman ' s Reitz (rights,) so we will let him pass at that. He sings a very pleasing (?) tenor, and talks through his nose. He dresses gaudily and shows great love for varie- gated neckties. He not only desires his clothes to fit perfectly, but is eccentric to the extent that he sleeps crosswise in his bed because it is too long for him lengthwise. The genial disposition of this lad is wonderful, and not even a flunk in class can disturb his eciuanimity. He considers his studies a side issue, and gives most of his time to the higher arts of singing, dancing and calling on the ladies. Because of his amiable disposition he makes quite a success in the latter calling. George came to us an infant in swaddling clothes , and is a remarkable example of what proper training and good associations will do for a child if taken in charge at the proper time. 45 w Margaret M.

She is most fair and there unto her life doth rightly harmonize. Margaret is the marvel, or the girl who never tells other people her troubles.

Miss Yeager treats her subject very fully and interestingly from every point of view. She tells the proper method to storm or lay siege to the masculine heart and no one could have handled this delicate sub- ject to better advantage. Our subject is very quiet in college and has the happy knack of tending to Miss Yeager ' s business. Margaret has won her way into the hearts of all for, Good humor and generosity carry the day with the popular heart. Too nice and yet too true. 46 Paul H. Hartman Sunbury, Pa.

Laziness, have I ever offended thee! Paul is Mama ' s joy and Papa ' s darling. He is a pretty boy and has a pretty fair reputation as a foot-ball player, which reputation may become national if the weight of that already attained does not snap his clavicle. He is a speaker of exceptional ability, being especially renowned for the use of very forcible expressions. He does not believe in letting his communications be yea, yea or nay, nay. His vocabulary of profane words is boundless and he is never at a loss for speech along this line. In the class room he usually crouches down in his chair, which he does apparently in order that the Professor may not call upon him. It might however be due to his lying propensities. Paul often says, You never get credit for what you do in this world, so you want to do everybody you get credit from. In order to be in the best possible position to do this he is going to become a lawyer. The aforesaid lying propensities will be invaluable to him in this calling. 47 wax l ciyaxtcd xttKrj n.

And thoughts of baser things cannot annoy, For niiiid and heart are bound in the employ Of Nineteen-Eleven. O Muses come, and bring your sweetest strain To aid me, lest I fail while I would aim To chant, in mystic, measured chimes, the name Of Nineteen-Eleven. O class with spirit jovial and benign, Although all others ' round us fret and whine, There ' s nobler thoughts to occupy the mind Of Nineteen-Eleven. Our past, indeed, was not all strewn with flowers, But courage for the present, it is ours To gather mental strength and moral powers For Nineteen-Eleven. To lighten some poor weary heart of care As each one has his work, let ' s do our share That we may do no harm, and lay no snare For Nineteen-Eleven. Up comrades then, and let us all be strong To make this old world better, right the wrong, That others too, may join with us in song For Nineteen-Eleven. 52 Sophomore History Again returning from a pleasant and profitable summer vacation, spent in the various Christian homes of this laud, to the classic halls of Susquehanna University, there appeared among that student body a class that was not strange to the environment of the place, but a class that underwent one year of strenuous labor, and made one step on the great ladder of educational advancement. We are sorry some of our number have not returned and though we thus stand weakened in numbers yet we are strong in spirit and determination to fight the battles of college life. Having lost that verdant robe by which we were once adorned, we now stood ready to guide and lead that measly bunch of or- ganisms known as Freshies. Soon after the Fall term opened we deemed it necessary to exercise our kindlj ' guiding power over that insignifi- cant bunch, that was beginning to overstep their limits. As they made no advance to put up their colors and defend them, but continued in their childish ways and unmanliness, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven could no longer endure it. So it was decreed that bills should be posted in all conspicuous places, especially where those green-backed objects of humanity could easily see and read them. So one night when all our lessons had been prepared, we went out in the bright moonlight and posted the bills around the town and campus, that the Freshies might be warned of the coming events. The next morning every Freshman was absent from chapel gcing around reading the green bills. Of course when they were missed we con- sidered it our duty to search for the bunch of little swell heads, for it certainly was not safe for humanity to allow such a measly gang to rove at will over the town and campus, for they certainly were not responsible for what they did. We overtook them after they had destroyed a couple bills and dared them to touch another, when we met the insignifi- cant, empty specimens on the railroad. The event that took place seemed to attract quite a number of spectators, both from town and the University. In a very short time the measly bunch were subdued by means of a complete mauling from the powerful hands of the class of 1911. They lay stretched out on the ground, gasping for breath, tying up their wounds and preparing to leave the bloody ground, defeated, when our dear President and ' ice-President came upon the scene and kindly urged them to go to their classes and obey the rules laid down. Since that event they have been following precisely in the footsteps of their superiors without offering the least 53 resistance in any way. Their submission was sliown by not making the least effort to prevent or molest us while we were enjoying our bounteous repast at our President ' s home. The most distinguishing feature of our Sophomore year was the elaborate banquet tendered to us by our worthy President and wife, in celebrating the birthday of our classmate. The weak-kneed, faint-hearted and cowering Freshies did not lift a finger to stop us. To describe the menu would be impossible. Suffice to say that the table literally groaned beneath the load of good things. After singing our farewell songs we departed to the University, voting our President and wife as capital entertainers. The green little objects feel their deficiency in athletics too much to challenge us for a game of basket ball. Of course we would not descend to play with such a dirty bunch of players, as their actions on the practice floor have already shown. Now as we look on that insignificant class of Freshies, how we endeavored to teach them by example and precept, it is a p itiable sight to see that they are far from being able to fill our places, when we go a step higher. But from here on we shall consider ourselves far superior to think of contending with such a set of impostors as they. We shall look toward higher and better things, things that are more lofty and sublime. HlSTORI.

The world has waited on our class, and now the world will boom, The moon and stars will all move back to give our class more room. Lives of great men all remind us, our lives are greater still, Other classes far behind us, never passed us, never will. We have the brains and common sense, the wit, and wisdom too, We have the beauty of the school, and ideals ever new. And we will paint great pictures of land and sea and sky. The master paintings of the world are coming by and by. And we will chisel marble, and the angel we will find That God has hidden in the rock or locked in granite mine. And we will write sweet music, a note, a strain, a bar, The world will join the chorus, and the sound will echo far. And we will point the telescope among the stars at night. And walk along the milky way past galaxies so bright. And we will read the strata of this, our mother earth. And give the world the story, from her early cosmic birth. And we will touch the flower in garden, plain or field, And they a brighter bloom will take, a sweeter perfume yield. And we will lift humanity among the silvery stars, And help them through the pearly gates and then put up the bars. And now the poem ended, we still will dig and delve. The year of jubilee will come in 1912. L. H., PoKT ' 12. 58 Freshman History When we, the class of 1912, entered the Classic Confine of Susquehanna University in September, 1908, all noted us as a power to be. We numbered fifteen, and though some have fallen by the wayside, we still retain more than a semblance of that august assemblage. Contrary to the rule of our immediate predecessors we did not imitate the example of our preceding class, but branched out into wide realms under the patronage and guidance of our truest friends and advisers, the class of 1910. To them we owe our remarkable and undisputable sovereignty. The red-letter day of our history was October 9. The night before, under cover of darkness and with fearful tread, those Sophs, stealthily wended their way and placed upon our portals and about the burg the rules by which we were to be governed. V ith fear they awaited th6 morrow. On awaking we, with the true 1912 spirit, immedi- ately removed the obnoxious placards and in their place flaunted our glorious colors. That day all school operations ceased, as we with unobstructed march covered the town with our numerals of power. We were advancing to our rooms when the Juniors met us, and as our lawful guardians, told us to turn back. We did and met the Sophs on that memorable battlefield near the railroad. After bedecking the Sophs with what remained of our colors, we joined in hand-to-hand encounter. At last when every Soph was under and had his fill, and when our Prexy and Vice-Prexy, with weighty arguments, stopped the awful carnage, we marched triumphantly to town and refreshed our inner man. Were we the victors ? Ask any one. Suffice it to say that we procured more coloring matter and marched un- disputed to school, leaving in our wake our victorious emblems. In all conspicuous places you will find the marks of triumph. Since that memorable day we have met with no opposition and are regarded as 1911 ' s superiors. We allowed the Sophs to have their so-called banquet this year since we regarded it too tame and unworthy of our notice. This though short is full of what makes history — facts. And now knowing the materials of which 1912 is made, I must predict even larger and greater plans of activity and usefulness in the future, believing that our record will become a beacon light to other pilgrims along this flowery path of knowledge.

SKK ATI)RY OF MUSIC School of Expression The object of the speaker is to make his auditors think as he thinks; feel as he feels; determine as he has determined. He is an earnest man who lias persuaded himself and is now trying to persuade others. He would convince them with reason, sway them with emotion and govern them with the power of his will. But all cannot do this. Why not? Some indeed think more profoundly, feel more deeply and determine more fully; but why should not any man give the fullest expression to his best conceptions, thoughts and emotions? Surely no one can be found whose composition is so entirely of clay that he is insensible to the physical, mental and moral world about him; whose blood never warms with love or chills with fear; whose pulse is not stirred with anger nor stirred with sorrow; who cannot admire heroism nor despise a craven deed; whose eye never shows sign of pity, wonder or astonishment, whose lip is guiltless of mirth or of scorn; whose body bows not in reverence to his Maker, nor rises proudly erect to resent insult. But if such, he cannot acquire the spell that binds and moves and melts and sways a multitude. It needs a man to sway men. Expression is but the manifestation of the invisible, indwelling life. N. N.

She has done splendid work in the past and has always maintained a high standard in her literary career. The work of Philo this year has been of an elevating character. Much interest has been manifested and the programs have been well rendered. Enthusiasm among the members runs high. The Philos have been untiring in their efforts to promote the best interests of the society and to secure the best possible meetings. Philo lost several of her earnest workers last year, who went out with the Senior Class. They were active in their society duties and at their graduation the society sustained a great loss. Fortunate indeed has Philo been to have the work fall on other willing and faithful ones. On June 13, 1908, Philo held her annual reception in the Alumni Gymnasium. Susquehanna was celebrating her fiftieth anniversary and many of our old Philos were present at the reception and gave her many kind words of encou ragement. Last term a very pleasing program was rendered by the ladies of the society, which was a credit to them. Philo is proud of the talented ladies of which she is the possessor. The meeting on December 11 was a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Philo. Mr. M. L,. Wagenseller, of Selinsgrove, made a very pleasing address on the early years of Philo and it was particularly inter- esting because of the fact that Mr. Wagenseller was one of the founders of the society in 1858. The reminiscent addresses by several members of the faculty were interesting and helpful. We have reasons to be proud of the past history of Philo but we must remember that we are living in the present and the future depends largely upon the present. Let us strive to be ever loyal and true so that when our future history is written it may be a credit to each and every one of us. 93 Philosophian Literary Society Motto: Colors: Non Festinafru iton ( e.

Villalon Amado Rodriquez Clio Clio has reached her half century ' s mark in her existence and she has reason to boast of her past progress and achievements. Her sons and daughters of former years have gone forth into the world and are reflecting great credit upon the society that contributed so much toward their development. The memory of these, our true and faithful predecessors, is an inspiration and ever-abiding influence to us. There are times when she is not at the height of her activity, but where in church, state, domestic or private life do we find activity always at its maximum height? Prosperity is not always beneficial. Without the necessity of en- countering difficulty, life might be easier but men would be worthless. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for there would be nothing achieved. Difficulties may intimidate the weak but thej act only as a wholesome stimulus to men of resolution and valor. Clio ' s present members are faithfully keeping their heritage and are striving earnestly to add splendor to Clio ' s already famous history. Many of us fail to realize our obligation to the society for the opportunities she offers us during our college life, whereby we may attain confidence, grace and power for the duties of life. When Dr. Lyman Beecher was asked how long it took him to prepare one of his masterly discourses that had electrified thousands, he promptly replied, Forty years. Henry Clay when giving advice to young men, said, I owe my success in life to one circumstance, that at the age of twenty-seven I began and continued for years, the process of daily reading and speaking upon the contents of some historical or scientific book. These off hand efforts were made sometimes in the forest or in some barn with the horse and ox as my auditors. It is this continued practice of the art of all arts that I am indebted for the primary and leading impulses that stimulated me onward and have shaped and moulded my whole subsequent destiny. By inquiring into the success of other men ' s lives we find that the possibilities of our usefulness in life depends largely upon the proper utility of the advantages that ou - literary society grants us. In consequence of the success Clio has had during the past year, much merit may be attributed to the new members who have proven themselves of sterling value. While we have reasons to be proud of our accomplishments in the past, it is well not to neglect the present, or the future will suffer. Let us continue to be loyal to the Gold and Blue, and may her banner ever float on the highest pinnacle of success, leading to the goal of a high and noble purpose. 96 ? 1 L S DlGW . ife: MfxAit nf - Clionian Literary Society Motto: Colors: Mcn a in Oi-do et Moralix Dignitns Old Gold and Blue Officers W.

The greatest work in the world is the human touch upon that life. No operating institution today has a greater field of service than the schools of our land. No institution has so dimmed a vision of its various responsibilities. This is all the more true when we remember that this age is a weakling for home influences. The greater responsibility for moulding into the genuine prolific, falls upon each college and university. Mindful of the greatest need for expansion, regulation, encouragement and the full and harmonious development of each individual, the society of Philomatrians, of Susquehanna University, was organized January 10, 1901. Those present at the initial meeting were ex-captains of athletic teams, managers of Susquehanna organizations that had not only seen things but had laid their hands upon the plow and had done things. A constitution was drawn up and adopted limiting the yearly number that may be received to two alumni and three under-graduates. Any student or alumnus of the University is eligible to membership, provided, he has given evidence of having the wel- fare of the institution at heart, by effectively promoting her interests. Though this society has labored for the betterment of the institution at large, of which it is a component part — ■ since every such institution is composed of individuals — it has touched the lives of many who are thus laboring, with no little beneficial nutriment. Like unto the world ' s dark middle ages being but the working recesses of today ' s lighted civilization, so we hope to emerge and carry Susquehanna in days to come, upon a better basis — a better financial system, more competent teaching, a higher order of student life and more love for that which is good and beautiful and worth the while. Call: Make thyself worthy of honor and honor will be forthcoming. 99 Philomatrians Officers I. W Bingamau President I S. Sassaman Vice-President T. H. Uber Secretary H. A. Allison ...

The players composing the teams acquitted themselves well, and brought great honor to their Alma Mater as well as themselves. The base ball team of last year was one of the best which has ever represented Susquehanna in this branch of sport. Penna. State College and Buckneli University were held to 2-0 and 3-0 scores respectively, while Sunbury, Bloomsburg Normal, Ursinus, Milton A. C, University of Louisiana and others all tasted of defeat at the hands of our victorious team. The foot ball team of last fall has been considered by many of our alumni to have been the best team which ever fought the Orange and Maroon ' s gridiron battles. Whilst some may differ a little from this in their opinion of the team, yet we are safe in asserting the statement, that taking into consideration the various difficulties which the team was compelled to face, the record of the ' 08 foot ball team was wonderful. Buckneli was played early in the season, and though putting up a plucky game throughout, our boys were overpowered by the superior weight of their oppo- nents. Lebanon Valley was defeated on their own gridiron for the first time in the history of the athletic relations between the two colleges. F. and M., likewise, was held 0-0 on their own grounds. Lock Haven Normal, Sunbury Y. M. C. A., Dickinson Seminary and others were also defeated. The season ended with a record of six won, one lost and one tie. The basket ball team was pitted against one of the hardest schedules ever arranged at Susquehanna and made a remarkable showing. In several games the team was handicapped by a little of that which is continually playing havoc among all branches of athletics viz:-hard luck. But notwithstanding this, the season can in all respects be termed a success. Judging by the way that the base ball team has begun the season this spring, we have reason to believe that a successful season will be the result. Manager Walter has arranged a good schedule and under the direction of Coach Kauffman. a fine team can be expected, which will achieve new victories for the Orange and Maroon. 137 Athletic Association Officers of Board of Directors Prof. G.

He looked in, thinking that it was one of the fair ones calling him, but seeing no one, he was about to pass on when he heard his name again, this time more distinctly than before. Turn- ing about he noticed that the plaster cast of Columbus was beckoning him to come in. Upon his entrance the plaster lips moved and Christopher said, i am glad you came in, for it is awful for a person to have secrets and have no one to tell them to. I have been trying for the last several years to get some one to listen to me, but I find it ' s just as hard to accom- plish that now as it was around 1492. At this point he brushed a crocidile tear from his eye with his coat-tail, and continued, Since my advent at S. U. I have been treated very well, although I have figured in some pretty trying situations. I first occupied a prominent place in the library, and words cannot express what I suffered there. That room, which should have been a place for gathering knowledge, became a sort of trysting place for spooners, and from what I hear, I judge the same conditions exist today. Well, said the member of the Lanthorn Staff, How do you like Seibert Hall? Pretty good, said Christopher, with a sickly smile. But sometimes the nervous strain is something awful. If you ever heard a dozen graphaphones playing an accompaniment to the same number of tom-cats on the back fence at midnight, you have some conception of what I must endure here. But before it slips my memory, I must tell you of the strange discovery I made one night during the winter term. He stopped at this poiiit and gasped for breath, and his auditor gave him a glass of water, after which he continued: 155 it was nine o ' clock, and I was just settling down for a good night ' s rest, when suddenly the big door creaked and a man entered the hall, after which I heard light footsteps on the stairs, aiid then without warning a loud smack. I was terribly shocked at the idea of a gentleman hitting a lady and was just about to show the gentleman the door, as John II of Portugal did to me when I solicited his aid, when I saw the two walking toward me arm in arm. From this I judged that they had had a reconciliation, and decided to keep mum. After entering the parlor they closed the folding doors, which made the room very dark. Following this there was a silence for a few moments, and then again that terrific smack! smack! smack! I was sailing in the dark, and thought we surely must have struck land. But just then the full moon, freeing itself from the clouds, shone in the window and threw its silvery beams upon the scene. There I discovered Young America holding his own against great odds, for I know that Prexie and the Pre- ceptress oppose such actions. They looked just as happy as Ferdinand and Isabella did when I told them I had found a new land. I listened, in order to ascertain what they were saying, but the language was new to me, and I concluded it was a special brand for such occasions. I believe they would have sat there all night, if I had not coughed several times and given them a hint that it was time to go. The member of the Staff thanked him for his information and was about to depart when he again opened his mouth and said, I was going to keep this a secret, but since it is out now, I wish you would publish it, so that the Preceptre.ss or any member of the Faculty cannot claim that they discovered it themselves, thereby taking the glory from me, as Amerigo Vespucci did with my other discovery. If you would give me the names of the two, it would add spice to the story, said Christopher ' s auditor. I believe his name was St. — no, said he, it would not be right to divulge their names because this is not the only pair which I have discovered. With these words the plaster lips closed, and he assumed his naturally stolid demeanor. 156 Rules For those in Dormitory and Study Rooms During the study hours which are: From 8:00 A. M. to 12:00 M. From 2:00 P. M. to 4:00 P. M. From 7:30 P. M. until retiring. The Following Rules Must Be Observed : 1. Do not drive ponies too hard, (use an easy trot — Hinds and Noble pre- ferred), as the noise may attract other students. 2. Do not whisper in the halls, as some students may think you are talking about them. Speak out like men. 3. Do not collect in any room for the purpose of loafing. Use your time in a social game or telling stories. Enjoy yourselves thoroughly; there will come a time when you can ' t. 4. Do not make any loud noise that would hinder or disturb students who are here for the purpose of studying devilment. It is forbidden at all times 1. To smoke corn-silk, chew the rag, or spit on the ceiling. 2. To cast insulting remarks about the halls; keep them for the Faculty. 3. To be away from the Dormitory after 7:30 P. M. without consulting your watch from time to time, so that you get in at least before breakfast. Rules for the Management of Rooms 1. Do not sweep the rooms out, as we need them for the students next year. 2. There must be no liquids or other matter thrown out of the windows. Put the liquids in a pail and place on window sill until evaporation takes place; the other matter doesn ' t matter. Special rule by Prexie concerning smoking — The smoking of a nice, good cigar is permissible. It is better to smoke here than hereafter. If a student should break any of these rules, he can get new ones by apply- ing at office. By order of the Faculty (Fac-Simile of copy hanging in Prexie ' s Office.) 157 The Adaptable Poem They stood within Gustav Adolphus (For summer, substitute the campus) She was eighteen (if you prefer, Why, make an old maid out of her) He spoke of love (they all do that) And she? Her heart went pit-a-pat; The cause, why, you may guess perchance, Was due to honeyed words, or loving glance. She hung her head, perhaps she sighed. She blushed and maybe drooped her eyes. Just take your choice and have her do Precisely as you wish her to. She did et cetera, until Her Nathan, Russell, George or Bill, Or any name you like the best — But why go on? You know the rest. 158 Squeezer Club One I love, two I love ! Colors : Flower : Green and Lemon. Two-lips. ( All green persons handed lemons ) OFFICERS Miss Ethel J.

Spangler 161 A Tail of Whoa— A Horse Tail If you should go driving sometime with yourself, your carriage, and your horse, not forgetting the tail of the latter, ' ou will find yourself having quite different thoughts than if you went merely with a hammer and nails. First, you will be sitting in the carriage, and notice you are there. Then there will come over you a feeling of well-being, for you have filled your gastronomical region before starting, and also have a well filled basket under the seat, besides a bottle, now half empty. Enraptured with this feeling, you will throw your arms about, and because they do not embrace anything it suddenly dawns upon you that you are the only occupant of the seat. Then you come to the conclusion that you are alone — in other words, you have no companion. You muse that such companions, when present, give you only about one fourth of the seat, and you are just about to congratulate yourself, that you now possess it entirely, when you confess to yourself on the Q. T. that you would be glad to sit on the dashboard if you only had someone to get frightened when you drove too fast, to sit closer when the horse scares at an automobile, or to cling to you when the carriage is going down a steep hill. Then you could talk and gradually encroach upon your neighbor ' s side of the seat until there would be only one fourth on that side, and finally you would have enough to hold without holding the reins. Further you will assure yourself that in case you had progressed thus far, you would rather have darkness enveloping you, (even if you were so absorbed that you ran into another carriage — for further information see W. E. Sunday) so folks couldn ' t see that the spring on one side of your carriage was weaker than the one on the other side, and also — the horse is deeply thinking. He realizes that he is not having such an easy time as he had the last time; for he dare not stop so often and he feels the whip more. Horse sense tells him that he is laboring under different circumstances. It also tells him that he is pestered more by the pesky files this time than the last; and finally he is reminded that he possesses a tail, and that he possesses it exclusively for the purpose of switching flies. Since you have studied Psychology under Prex--, and have learned (?) a few things, you know that an object in motion attracts the attention of one quicker than an inert body. Thus as you sit on the seat almost asleep you are very observant, and finally you discern an object in front of you, moving violently to and fro. After careful observation, you discover that it is ahorse tail, and that it is switching. What is it switching for? To chas e the flies, of course. You now debate whether switching hurts the flies as much as it did you when you were a boy. At this point a fly lights on your face, interrupting your thoughts. You brush it off, and conclude that after all a horse tail is a good l(i2 thing. You wonder if this horse tail belongs to the same species as those you used to hoe in the corn patch — those that you call Equisetum fluviatile after you have studied botany. No, indeed ! Those are of no real value, while this one is useful — to chase flies. You now fall asleep, soothed by the swishing of the horse tail, hence you do not notice a large black fly light on the horse ' s neck. This fly is of the species Tabanus atratiis commonly called horse-fly. If you had been awake, you would have noticed that this fly is many times as large as a common fly. The horse shakes his head; the fly, thinking that he is receiving encouragement, sits still and takes a better hold. The horse then uses his tail, but finds that a horse ' s neck wasn ' t meant to be switched. The fly remains. Then a kick, a terrific jerk, an overturned carriage, and you awake to find yourself in the gutter, half stunned; while your horse is going down the road, with the tail in hot pursuit. After you have recovered yourself sufficiently, you decide to get a cock-tail in order to overcome the bad effects due to the inefficiency of the horse tail. Now a cock-tail is an American beverage made of brandy or gin, mixed with sugar and a very little water. Where you stop, it is made of — ask J. D. Curran. After you have taken a cock-tail you forget all about the horse tail. For putting one to sleep a horse tail is quite good; but those who have tried it say a cock-tail is better. At any rate a horse tail is a good thing. 163 Foot Ball Three Hundred Years Ago {Se ecU-d) For as concerning footeball playing I protest unto you that it maie rather bee called a friendlie kinde of fight than a plaie or recreation; a bloudie and murtheryng practise than a fellowlie sporte or pastyme. For doeth not every one lye in waight for his Adversarie, seekyng to overthrow hym and to picke hym on the nose, though it bee uppon harde stones, in ditch or dale, in valley or hill ? In what place so ever it bee he careth not, so he may have hym downe: And he that can serve the inoste of this fashion, he is counted the onlie fellowe, and who but he? So that by this meanes sometymes their neckes are broken, sometynies their backes, sometymes their legges, sometymes their armes, sometymes one parte thrust out of joynt, sometymes another; sometymes the noses gush out with bloud, sometyme their eyes start out; and sometymes they are hurt in one place, sometymes in an other. But who so ever escapeth awaie the best, goeth not scotfree, but is either sore wounded and bruzed, or els scapeth very hardlie; And no marvaile for they have sleightes to meet one betwixt two, to dash hym against the harte with their elbowes, to hitte hym under the shorrte ribbes with their griped fistes, and with their knees to catch hym upon the hip, and to picke hym on his necke, with an hundred such murtheryng devices: And hereof groweth envie, malice, rancour, cholour, hatred, displeasure, enmitie, and what not els? And sometyme fightyng, braulyng, contention, quarrel pickyng, murther, homicide, and great effusion of bloud, as experience daily teacheth. From Anatomy of Abuses — a sixteenth century Puritan attack on amusements. 104 The Class Scrap ( Dedicated to the Faculty) For many years it ' s been the thing To have, some day in the fall, A scrap, a bloody scrap, indeed, Much worse than the fiercest foot ball. But last year the wise Solons Who, like the Parcae, determine our fate Decided that Freshmen and Sophomores Must not scrap in nineteen-eight. For a time things went along smoothly Till the guardian angels, Sophs by name. To instruct and rule the Freshmen And to publish their own fame, Tacked posters all over our city. From Isle of Que to Seibert Hall, Laying down for the Freshies many rules And saying they ' d enforce them all. But the Freshies, ne ' er to be outdone Started in with commendable vim To tear down the hated posters And paint, on every stone and limb And crossing, and every public place. In their colors, brown and white, A great big Nineteen-twelve, To the Sophs a hateful sight. And that same day these classes met. Where P. R. R. crosses Pleasant street. And after much throwing about of paint And calling each other names, not sweet. An awful scrap did there ensue As when hostile armies meet. Shirtsleeves were torn, and coats and pants; Some soon lost the shoes from their feet. But soon on the battlefield one arrived, Who, of course, expressed his sorrow, And another, who thinks these special things From barbaric times we borrow. So Prexie and Vice-Prexie did their best This awful battle to stop But their labors were to no avail And blood continued to drop. But soon the boys were quite played out So the battlefield they left. And back they went to Selinsgrove Hill, Of time and clothes bereft. They loafed around that whole day long And not a class attended, Each thought his duty he had done When he his class defended. Ye learned men of the Faculty, To you this thing we ' ll say: Boys WILL be boys, as you well know And they will take time to play; So, since they ' re bound to have a scrap. Why not let them do it right ? Let Juniors and Seniors make the rules. And see that they ' re kept through the fight . ' ' 165 Thanatopsis Revised To him who in the love of woman loses Himself in the mysterious realm, she speaks A various language: for his calling hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And she glides into the conversation with a shy Yet graceful manner, that steals away All formality, ere he is aware. When thoughts Of half-past nine come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of the stern agony of the preceptress and the warning bell Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart: Go forth from her presence and list To Prexy ' s admonitions, while from Sweet Hope, the Island and all around — Comes a still voice — and reminiscences Of that realm, where thy calling Iiours extend Far into the night — and no one Disturbs thy blissful dreams And tells thee to depart. Yet a few days And commencement will soon be o ' er Then thou and thy fair one shall separate and The all beholding sun, who took note Of thy departure, with man} ' tears, Shall see thee together no more this summer, Nor in her embrace shall exist thy image. Home, that nourished thee, shall claim Thy time, to be resolved in earning Filthy lucre. Which surrendering up shalt thou go To mix for another year with the elements Of book learning, and the Dorm. To be a brother to the insensible pigskin And to the sluggish player, which the rude full back Tackles low and treads upon. Greek Shall send its roots abroad, and pierce thy mind, Yet not in thy calling hours at the Dorm 166 THANATOPSIS REVISED- Continued. Shalt thou meet her alone— nor couldst thou imagine A scene more distressing. Thou shalt vie With preps, of the infant world — with Seniors and Theologues The powerful of the school — the wise, the good. Fair forms, and hoary heads of ages past All in one little parlour. Old maids Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun, Are but the solemn monuments all Of the neglect of man. The golden sun. The planets, all the infinite host of heaven, Are smiling on the abodes of courtship, and Through the still lapse of matrimony. All that tread The globe are but a handful to the tribes That have fallen victim to Cupid ' s darts Since first the world began. So shalt thou — and what if thou forsake Thy dormitory love, and seek thy affinity Mid the fair ones of the town — and no friend Take note of thy departure ? All that breathe Will share thy destiny. The gaj ' will laugh And each one as before will court His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their studies and shall come And join the wedded life with thee. And the sweet babes — Shall one by one be gathered to thy side. So live, that when thy summons comes to join The trembling caravan that moves To that realm of marriage where each shall take His bridal chamber in a cottage or a flat Thou go not like the students hereon Sunday Driven to church, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering gall approach thy doom Like one who at examination time Has the contents of his horse about him And lies down to pleasant dreams. 167 Affinities Blest be the tie that binds. 1.

We too have tossed a copper. The Heads have won and have decided to close the term, so we perforce must say, Amen. 180 Hiawatha ' s Benediction Through the long and dreary winter Through the long and cruel winter Ever present at their duty Toiled the Juniors with their Lanthorn. Should you ask me whence this toiling Whence this extra work and worry Why this burning of the night oil I should answer your inquiries Straightway in such words as follow. In the vales of Snyder county In a green and silent valley By the pleasant flowing waters Of the rippling Susquehanna Dwelt the Pennsylvania Germans And beside them was a college, Where young and old partook of learning. From the town of Selins Steddle, From the burg just up the river, From the realms of smoky Pittsburg Students came to Susquehanna. Through Freshman year they struggled Studied some and ponied often, Spent their evening hours in learning Little sins as Prexie called them. Learned the habits of the village Where the German kept his cider, Where the farmer kept his chickens And how best they could get at them. Learned to roll the shot at midnight, Bowling alley on the third floor. Learned the sound of Prexie ' s footsteps And weren ' t caught in doing evil. Thus that year passed and the next one Was full of many pleasures for them And the times thus spent as classmates Ever in their minds will linger. That their lives might be more joyous And the time might pass more gaily. Many times they met together And partook of sumptous feasting. Meantime they, in hours of study. Read the classics of the ancients, Learned of Socrates the mighty. Sought the wisdom of Quintillian And the lyrics of the poets. Still pursuing wisdom ' s treasures Till another year had ended; Then as Juniors they together Entered on new fields of labor. 181 HIAWATHA ' S BENEDICTION— Continued From early morn till long past midnight Skipping class and flunking often. No more hours to spend in pastime, Till the Lanthorn work is ended, Till the books are sold and paid for. Thus the cause of all the worry That the book might pass inspection And be counted as a good one. Now behold them in the Springtime When their toil i.s nearly over When the book is near completion And the staff is bright and cheerful. They are gathered in their wigwam Scanning proof sheets of the Lanthorn When they see a form before tliem Clad in raiment of a Senior, Through the splendor of the sunset Saw Hiawatha ' s ghost before them. Over them he stretched his right hand Spake to them with voice majestic As the sound of far-off waters. Long and great has been 3 ' our worry And your work has been stupendous — I have put you to the trial But to show and prove your courage. May the work you ' ve now completed Be received without unkindness Toward its contents or it failings. Now hence forward and forever May the blessing of the Great Spirit Be upon you and your labors Till your work on earth is ended. Till your soul has found its resting In the Islands of the Blessed In the Land of the Hereafter. 1S2 THE BENEDICTION Index Pages A Adaptable Poem 158 Affiuities 168 Angelicus-Develicus Society 160 Art Department Cut ... 84 Art Department Picture 85 Art Department Roll 84 Athletic Association 138 Athletic Cut 136 Athletics 137 Bald-Headed League 161 Base Ball, Picture of Captain and Manager 140 Base Ball, Picture of Varsity 141 Base Ball, Positions on Varsity 139 Base Ball, Positions on Reserves 143 Base Ball.

Well, those are written to portray The work of every college day. They ' re also written to amuse, Though oft they seem some to abuse. But we are prone to make a fuss When we see how others ' eyes see us. Perhaps we ' ve knocked some in our fun, Of those we beg their humble pardon. Or else we ' ve missed some unaware And in this book gave them no share. But whether knocked or missed, don ' t err And blame the business manager, In whose behalf our voice would rise And ask that all would patronize OUR ADVERTISERS. OUR ADVERTISERS Andrus, D.
