His early education was olrtained at the country school in the immediate neiii ' lihurhood of his Ijirthphice. In the fall of 1S79, he entered the West Chester State Xornial School, and remained throut h the fall and winter term. He taught in the pulilic school at Hanhv ' s Corner, New Castle County. Del., during the spring term of 18S0. and for two months of the fall term of the same vear. He then returned to the State Xormal School and re- mained until his graduation in the class of i88j. flis class was the first one that graduated under the principalship of Dr. (i. M. l ' hili])S. . lwa ' s talented in literary wiirk. he was prominent in such wurk here, and was one of the most active and prominent organizers and charter memhers of the Aryan Society, which was organized in the fall of 187Q. Miss Mary E. Speak- man, Principal of the Model School, and Professor C. B. Cochran, of the De- partment of Science, were prominent memhers of the faculty who were interested in this new literary society, and Miss Carrie E. Benius, Mrs. [ary Sharpless Schaeffer, Grant Pierce, I ' ls(|.. Principal Louis B. Ambler and Warner P. Roberts were among Professor Green ' s fellow-students acti eh ' associated with him in its establishment and organization. Immediately after his graduation, he taught a i)ublic school at Romansville, in Chester Count}-, during the year 1 88_ ' -_:;, and then at Mar.shallton during 1883-4. In the spring of 1884 he was appointed t 1 take charge of the English Department at Juniata College, Huntingdon. Pa. There he remained until 1888, estai)lishing a reputation fur scholarship and etticiency which is still appreciated at Juniata College. In 1888 he came to West Chester as assistant to Dr. ].] Welsh in the De- partment (jf English, and when, in 1890, Dr. Welsh resigned to become Principal of the State Normal School at i ' .loomsburg. Pa., Professor Green was ajipointed head of the l nglish ilepartment, where he has ever since remained. He sjjcnt 5 the summer of 1890 in the study of English, especially of Anglo-Saxon, at Am- herst College, Mass., and devoted the year 1894-5 to special work in English at Harvard University. Dickinson College has honored him with the degree of Master of Arts, and Temple University with the degree of Doctor of Letters. He has had numerous calls to attractive and important positions, all unsought, but to the great satisfac- tion of the management and of the students, he has remained through all these years at West Chester. He organized the Young Men ' s Christian .Association here on Octoljer i6th, 1890, and has been its president continuouslv since that time, except during his year ' s leave of absence at Harvard, when, at his re(|uest, some one else was elect- ed in his place. The total membership of this .Association during these years has reached 2500. He has made two trips to Europe, the second one during the sum- mer and fall of 19 10, when he spent much time in visiting the homes and haunts of the great British authors. He has published Notes on Rhetoric, has com]Mled numerous quotation books, has written some capital verse, and has contributed most acceptably to var- ious magazines. In addition to his European trips, he has been a great American traveler, and has been especially fortunate in hax ' ing the opportunity to meet and visit many of the foremost literary Americans of the past quarter century. His reminiscences of Lowell. Whittier, Holmes, Hale, Lew Wallace, Riley, and many others, are most interesting. He began puljlic speaking early in connection with Sunday School work and teachers ' institutes, and has become one of the most attractive and popular public speakers in Pennsylvania, if not in the country. He has spoken at Harvard Uni- versity, University of Pennsylvania, at Lehigh L ' niversity, Bucknell University, Dickinson, Lafayette, Haverford. Swarthmore, Delaware and other colleges. He has instructed at innumerable teachers ' institutes in manv States, and has given public lectures in New York, Philadelphia, . tlantic City, Pittsburgh, Dayton, In- dianapolis, Baltimore, Washington, Providence, and many other places outside of Pennsylvania, in New England and in the ' est and South. He has been a lec- turer at the New York Chautauqua as well as at the Pennsylvania and Louisville, Ky., Chautauquas. He has given his lecture on Life ' s Musical Scale in Phila- delphia alone more than forty times. In recent years he has grown to be one of the most popular after-dinner speak- ers in this part of the United States. Among the many engagements of this sort which he has accepted have been the banquets of the St. . ndrew Society of Phila- 6 (lelpliia, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, president; of the Scotch Irish Society of Philadel- phia : of the State Bankers ' Ass(xiations of Pennsylvania, Xew Jersey and Vir- ginia, and of many other societies and clubs. His most notable recent appearance was during ' the past spring, at the Bankers ' Association of New Jersej-, where he was on the prdgrani with President Taft and ( ioxernor W ' oodrow Wilson, of Xew Jersey. He has been very active in Christian work, and has been a jirominent general officer and speaker at V. M. C. A. conventions, as well as at Sunday School, Christian Endeaxor and Bible Cnion conventions. During all of his years here until the summer of igi i. he lived in the schoul diirmitdry, and his attractive rooms, filled with books and many interesting me- mentoes of travel and of literary men. were a ha en of happiness and help to lum- dreds and hundreds of young men. On September 12, iqir, he was married at Plainfield, X. J., to Miss Gertrude Langdon Heritage, a graduate of and, until her marriage, an instrnctor at Bryn Mawr College. He and Mrs. Green now- li e in their own delightful home on South Walnut street, near the Normal School. Professor Green ' s popularity as a teacher and as a speaker is continually growing, and he constantly has many more invitations to lecture and speak than he can possibly accept. He has beeen a great inHuence for good here and where- e er he has gone, and has l een one of the great factors in the excellence and ef- ficiency of work done at. and of the popularity and success of, the West Chester State Normal School. , r n G.

KTrancis arvei Careen CQ as 10 preface Hl- ' TER much toil and care, we take great pleasure in submitting to our frienils and classmates the 1912 Serpentine as the results of our best efforts toward recording the deeds and daring of each member of our class. We have aimed to make this Ixjok entertaining and at the same time accurate in its statistics so that in the dim and distant future it may be a means of recalling pleasant memories of bygone days spent at our Alma Mater. W ' e hope we have merited the confidence placed in us by our classmates, and trust that whatever fun has Ijeen inserted in these pag ' es will be recei ed in Uiat spirit of hearty good will which has always prompted its preparation. Please bear in mind the fact that such material has been used to make the lx3ok better, to make it a credit to our class as well as a pro- duction woi ' tln- to follow its two immediate iiredecessors. We ha e not aimed to make this a work of great literary value. Therefore, be lenient in your criticisms, and when you are accidentally struck — Laugh, and tlic world laugh.s with you — Wft ' p. and you weej) alone. Heartily thanking all who ha e in any wa ' heli)ed to i)re- pare this book, and hoping that our readers may gain ])ieasure and ])rolit from its ])erusal. we now lea e the rest to you. The St. ff.

It all seemed irksome as the task recurred; Why sweat and struggle for an unseen goal ? Stern tests severe, a sense of failure stirred, And hope, sore baffled, gloomed the fainting soul.

E. 14 H IBxict Mister of tbc Mest Chester State formal Sebool t IT was on April jq, 1869. that the Board nf ' I ' rustees of the old West. Chester Academy, whicli liad been in existence since March jy. iSij, met ill the office of Mr. Wayne MacVeag h to take steps towards tlie estabhsliment of a Xormal School. Accorchng ' ly, after a nnml er of pre- liminary meeting;s had been held in advancement of the ])roject, the Trustees were empowered by an Act of the General . sseml)ly jf the Commonwealth of Pennsyhania to sell the pro[)erty of the . cadem - at pri -ate sale, and the [iro- ceeds of this sale, aniountin.e; ' to some twenty-ei.t ht thousand dollars, were de ' oted to the building ' of tlie Xormal School. The cornerstone of the present main building ' was laid mi September 14, 1870, by the State Superintendent of Public Schools, Dr. j. I ' . Wickersham. In the following; February application was made to the State Superintendent to make the necessary inspection in order that the school might be accepted as a State institutiiiu. . cuminittcx; was apiiniiUed therefore, which isited the build- ings 1)11 I ' ebruary 22, and having reported faxurably. the Superintendent there- upon issued a pruclamatidii declaring the institution a State Xormal Schodl for the First District. On Ma ' I, 1 87 1, the stockholders met and elected a Hoard of Trustees, con- sisting of the following persons : Dr. Wm. Wdrthingtnii, Win. S. Kirk, R. T. Cornwell, fohn (j. i ol)insi)ii. Win. b . Aloore, .Marshall B. Ilickman. Wm. B. addell, I ' Aans Rogers and Josiah Hoo])es. The org ' anizatioii nf this Board was effected May (k 1871, with Re -, Wm. F. .Moore, President: Capt. R. T. Corn- well, Sccrctar ' , and rhdiii.-is W. Marsh;ill, Treasurer. The first act of the Board was to elect a Principal, Prof. Ezekiel Ccjok, of ladrid, 2 laiiie, and the school 15 opened September 2-,, 1871, with the very gratifying nuniher of over one hundred boarders, and tliirty day students. Prof. Cook resigned the Principalship in 1872, and Prof. W ' m. A. Chandler served as Principal for the winter term, and, in the autumn of 1873, Prof. Geo. L. Maris, of Kennett Square, Pa., was elected to fill the vacant place. Prof. Maris remained at the head of the School for eight years, leaving it in 188 1 to take a professorship in Swarthniore College, while later lie became Principal of George School, at Newtown, Pa. From 1 88 1 the Normal School has been under the able and efficient leadership of Dr. Geo. Morris Philips, to whose remarkable executive ability and fine scholar- ship it owes, more than to any other one cause, its foremost place among the Normal Schools of the State and of the country. Dr. Philips is widely known as one of the leading educators of the United States, and has occupied positions of ln)nor and responsibility, and refused man - more. As the years rolled on, various other buildings were added to the School plant. In 1878 and i88j. the north and south wings were built; in 1885-6, the dining room, chapel, etc. The gymnasium was built in 1890, and the Principal ' s house and the Infirmary in 189 1-2. In due succession came the Recitation Hall in 1892-3, the Model School building in 1899, the Lil rary in 1903, and the enlarge- ment of the dining room, the new kitchen, and the Dormitorv for Bo3 ' S in 191 1. We now ha e as well-e(|uipped a school as can be found anywhere. Only four days after the opening of the school, September 29, 1871, the Moore Literary Society was organized, and Rev. Vm. E. Moore, President of the Board of Trustees and pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of West Chester, became its first president. Its motto. Scire est regere. and its colors. Garnet and Gold, are known to all. The sister society, the Aryan, followed seven years afterwards, in 1879, having for its colors, Light Blue and Gold, and for its motto, h ' iiiis eoroiiat o iis. These two societies ha ' e done much for their n]embers in training them along the lines of public speaking, debating, and parliamentary order. Many of those who have gone fortli from these halls have said that the training received in the active participation in the meetings of these two societies has been quite as valu- able to them as that of the class-room itself. For a long time it was the custom on the anniversaries of these societies to present very creditable papers. The Moore Literary Gacetfe and The Aryan Rc- z ' icTii but in November, 1891, it was decided to merge the two into a monthly periodical, named The Amulet, which is still living and flourishing. The first 16 nuniher of The .liiiiilc! appeared in February, i8qj. Prof. F. H. Green heiiii;- the first e liti r-in-cliief. Altlmn -Ii many others lia e since been at the hehn, Prof. Green still keejis his interest in it and oversig ' lit of it. The first special organized line of Christian work, apart from the prayet meetings hich were regularly iield, was in the department of temperance work. Mrs. A. I ' . Reid and Mrs. Richard Darlington started a branch of ' (Mnan ' s Chris- tian Temperance L ' nion, in 1886, but in 1888 our society became a part of the thiistian I emperance League, because of the desire to remain non-partisan. The organization still exists, with Mrs. Geo. Morris Philips as its president, though in the multiplicity of other societies, it is not so prominent as of old. The ' oung Men ' s Christian Association was begun on October 16, 1890, and the ' oung Women ' s Christian . ssociation on Sejjtember 24, i8yi. Prof. Green was the first president of the former, and still holds that office. Miss Eloise Ma hem was the first i)resident of the latter; she was succeeded by Miss Mary A. Cummings: then came Miss Sara S. Kirk, whom so many of us still reniemlier with lo e and appreciation; and at the present time Mrs. ¥. H. Starkey most sys- tematically and efficiently carries on tlii- great work. The Faculty of the scIkjuI has always stood for the highest scholarship, and it is to them, with the l rincipal at their head, that the success of the school is due. Each ear adds to their efficiency, and m;in - of them have a reputation as educa- tors that is not confined to the limits of our own State. During the summer acation of 1877- 1878, a summer school, one of the first of its kind in the country, was held under the auspices of the Normal School, and although it seemed successful and was |uite well attended, it was discontin- ueil. Xow, however, after the lapse of all these years, we again have a summer school, and as several members of the b ' aculty are the jjrime mo -ers of the scheme, it will, no (Iciubt, be successful and lasting this time. This adds one more to the manv channels of infiuence which makes the school so effective and so useful. Thus through the changes and chances of the years, has the school advanced. Contrast the one hundred of its first enrollment with the nine hundred of the present ine, and ten members of the first class graduated with the twd hundred and twenty of the last, and these, with other evidences of strength, nuist make us pripud to be members of the i)est Normal School in Pennsylvania.

Pauline came to us last year from Indiana State Normal School, and has done very creditable work here. To some she may seem quiet and reserved, but her many acquain- tances know that she is a very jolly lass. She is taking special drawing because she has become quite interested in architecture. Wonder why? Much to her disappointment Domestic Science has not yet been introduced into the course she is pursuing. Aryan. ALICE H. ASTWOOD. U ' csl Chester. Pa. You Here is a mi.xture of brains, sauciness and fun. can ' t possibly get ahead of Nini in class. She spent three years at the Girls ' High School, Philadelphia, where she acquired that store of knowledge which she frequently ex- hibits. Alice is fond of history, but it seems that one hero touched her heart more than all others, judging from her frequent ejaculation, Suffering Cajsar ! This shows how deeply she sympathizes with him. ELSIE M. BAGENSTOSE, On ' igsburg. Pa. This Orwigsburg maiden must be classed among the quiet members of our class, for it is seldom that one hears her sweet, low voice. Elsie has been with us two years, coming to us immediately after graduation from the Orwigsburg High School. We feel sure, since she has sought diligently and not in vain for a thorough knowledge of pedagogy, that her leaching career will be a most successful one. Moore. VERA EDNA BATES, Siko. Pa. This ambitious girl came to us after having taught two years. Mathematics, her favorite subject, shows Vera ' s un- tiring perseverance, because she never gives up a problem until it has been solved. She leaves no stone unturned in her march to success, and many of her hours arc profitably spent in the Library. Aryan. 28 lii:i.l-;. . R. HAUCIIMAX, Wilkcs-Ban-c. Pa. Ilcck is wiindrously wise. She graduated from the liclhleheni High Scliool in 1910. Here she has heconie at- tached to the Moore Literary Society, in Moore ways than one. Mathematics is her favorite study, and to see her work iiard ])rol)iems is an incentive to anyone. Ding it! why doesn ' t tliat dinner bell ring? one often hears her say. . he is fond of dancing, but walking is her favorite delight, particularly on a moonlight night ! Moore. JESSIE M. BAVLESS, ScUcrsvUlc. Pa. Jess joined our ranks from New York State. She often declared she was homesick, but we decided that it was only Karr sickness. .Many of her classmates think her very quiet, but ask the Jolly Seven what they think about it. .Mathematics is her hobby. She especially enjoys a good tussle with a trig. ])rc:blem, and is always the victor. Good iuck attend thee, Jessie. .Moore. C. T1IERI. E P.IKKEV, Nc-. portvUlc.

Merry and carefree, Kittie makes her way to the ucart of everyone. Her favorite occupation, during her spare time, is sleeping, and the rising bell is the bane of her existence at the Normal. We hii])e she may ha e a bright career as a teacher. Moore. E1.1Z. P.E ' 1 H r,l.. CKW()(M), Wayne. Pa.

When she is dreanu ' ng too nuich just pat her on the back and she will be herself again. Domestic .Scieiue holds alluring prospects for the future, and we shall fun! her to be a scientific housekeeper sometime. Moore. 29 COML ' O. BODINE, Elimsporl. ' ,;. Bodie is one cf our up-State boys. He hails from I Iinisport, a small town of about eight hundred inhabitant; somewhere near Williamsport. Pa. His favorite sport is foot-ball, and Bodie not only gives every appearance of a foot-ball warrior, but also of an artist. His etchings show that he is naturally gifted with the pencil and brush. He intends doing cartooning work later. Success, Comly, to nur efforts. .Member Serpentine Staff. Moore. F.LE.WOR .A. BOVn, ranwssii. -. Pa. Boydie came bouncing into our midst in the fall of 1909. She remained with us all that year, but the following autumn we missed Eleanor ' s quiet voice. However, in the spring we heard a familiar O, my dear ! sounding in the hall antl on the walks, and knew that Eleanor had come back to us, after teaching a while at home. We wonder if she took an - boat rides while at home, . fter graduating Eleanor in- tends to train the voung minds how to shoot. Moore. BELLE n. BOVLE, Suinuill Hill. Pa. Belle has the reputation for moving about in a quiet way, always attending to lier duties. She has shown a fondness for mathematics and hopes to specialize in that subject, but we fear that the books and stories she reads will eventually lie instrumental in cutting short her teaching career. In whatever line of work you engage. Belle, be it in teaching or housekeeping, we wish you much success. Moore. BEUL.- H M. BR. DLEV, York. Pa. If all the nicest people should say the nicest things they could about the nicest girl they ever knew — they would be describing our Secretary, we are sure. She is into every- thing that goes on: always ready to help everyone; always ready to cheer everyone; always ready to work. . nd when it comes to fun, Beulah is in her element !

Gracie lias been witli us tliree years, and we have grown ery fond of her. She is an expert student in algebra, and maybe Grace can ' t draw ! Some day we will visit the Louvre and gaze at the wonders of her paint-brush. Some- times we think she prefers George School to this institution, judging from the interest she displays in that (Hrection, but we trust she will remain loyal to W. C. S. N.

She is an experienced teacher; her favorite study is history. But Mary loves other things as well, and her dancing has sometimes gotten her into trou- ble. When her friends look into her great brown eyes, the - do not wonder why Mary ' s study-hour has often been di. turhed by girls seeking to know their future. Moore. WILO.X BRUBAKER, Bird-m-Haud. Pa. Bill is a jolly, good-natured damsel from Lancaster Coun- ty, whicii to her is the garden-spot of the world. Before coming to the Normal School she graduated from Shippen Preparatory School.

Her sunry ilisi osition and ready wit have made her popular, and her classmates wish her everv success in her teachino. Moore. FRANK J. BURGE, Fort Ji ' a. liiiii loii. Pa. Brutus is the class philosopher, capable of asking more questions than Apollo could answer. Frank has completed his course in two years, and has not yet decided whether he will take up the profession of schoolmaster, electrician or inventor. Doubtless he would succeed in any one of them. Since the death of Mark Twain it has been his constant de- sire to become a humorist, and we all anticipate a brilliant career for him in these lines. Aryan. 32 .MARCARKT C. BL ' RKl , Tmcoiula. l ,.

The Library has claimed much of her attention, and we are sure that she has spent many hours of pleasure within its walls. Her occasional Wouldn ' t that drive a man to drink shows that she is human like the rest of us, but her ever ready smile always asserts itself finally. W ' c wish her nuicli success. Moore. 33 ARCHER C. CAMPBELL, NotfiiiL hcim. Pa. This jolly, good-natured, young man hailed from West Xottingham High School. Like many others, he took the Junior and Middle year work together, and did it creditably. Archie has great power in oratory, and some dav we may reasonabl - expect him to lay down the law to his fellow- men in one of the high courts of our country. Through his determination he is hound to succeed. Aryan. BERTHA F. CAKEV, West Chcslcr. Pa. There is so much we could say about Cert that it is dif- ficult to choose without letting the cat out of the bag. You see, Normal School regulations do not apply to her out- side of school hours, and we suspect that the twinkle in her eye and the sly smile she wears, indicate what a lively time she has when not in school. While here, however, she works hard and has shown herself to be a good student. Moore. ELIZABETH CAREY, JFcsl Chester. Pa. Elizabeth attended the Model .School and the public schools of West Chester until 1908, when she entered the Xornial School. Betty, as she is better known to her friends, is a quiet, unpretentious girl and a good student. We seldom hear her voice save in answer to a question, but then it is worth while — and will be to the children of her future class-room, . rvan. SUSIE G. S. CARRELL, J! ' cst Clicstcr. Pa. Susie has been fortunate in securing a home in West Chester, and her studies have not been interfered with by pangs of homesickness. We have all noticed this by her regular attendance and the high grade recitations she makes. She is a graduate of W. C. H. S. and has formed a fondness for mathematics and literature. Needless to say. she is good in these branches. We wish her nuich success. 34 M AkCARET Z. CASSKL, Pine Grave. Pa. IV ' t; is iiiK- of our niasters of all trades.

Although fond of sports, she dees not neglect her les- sons. Brilliancy of intellect, especially in Mathematics and Science, must be attributed to her. Dr. Philips once feared the necessity of a new faculty because of her brightness. If she persists in being a school-marm, we offer up a prayer in her behalf. O Lord, give her firnniess. .MlklA.M COXXER. Ardmorc. Pa. Before coming to us two years ago, Miriam attended Lower Merion High School and later spent two-thirds of a year at Millersville X ' ormal School. She is a great lover of books, and was frequently seen in the Library pursuing her favorite work. The results were shown by excellent recitations in literature and historv. Connie ' s ambition is ;0 attend college after graduating here, and we are sure she ill eontmue to maintain a high standing there. .Aryan. EMELIE P. COOK, Philifsbur: . Pa. ■■Cookie is one of our most loyal classmates, and just as ■ ' sweet as her name imjilies. All the Algebra problems in our text-books got a jostling up when she tackled them, for she goes at problems of all sorts with a vengeance, and . lgebra, especially, got its share. She heartily approves of co-education, is a member of the Moore Society, and receives all the best wishes of her classmates for her success. 36 MAKN ' ' . C ' OOPER. ) ■ .;. Pa.

Is it any wonder that this little maiden has been nick- named Kittens ? Surely never before was there found such a tiny bunch of iiiLschicf and fun. Kittens loves to spend her spare moments dancing. .Although she is al- ways ready for a jolly good time, Katharine is very indus- trious, devoting herself especially to literature and French. We predict a briiL;bl future for Vdii in the teaching pro- fession. Moore. 37 M. PEARL DENTOX, IFcst Chcsicr. Pa. Here is llie midget of the class. Pearl certainly is tiny; it is almost necessary to use a microscope to locate her. .She is also one of our youngest memhers and has been here four years, feeling quite at home in Study Hall.

Hello there, Trude ; I thought 1 knew that smile — the smile that never wears otY. Gertrude is always known by her cheery voice and jollity, and is therefore very popular among lier many friends, (iertrude is very fond of mathe- matics and spends a great deal of time in its preparation. Trude, we know U ' l-(be)-rich some day. Aryan. ELLA D. DEWEES, Bin-hniiirillc. Pa. Here is another Dewees about to make her departure from these halls of learning. To look at Ella one would think her quite demure and quiet, but her friends tell us otherwise. However, be it said to her credit, she has been an earnest worker, and especially is this true just before an examina- tion. Like many of her classmates, she has decided to make teaching her profession. W ' e all wish her success, . ryan. BEATRICE H. DILKS, ll ' cst Chcsicr. Pa. Beatrice is one of our serious maidens, who finds greatest pleasure in faithful and energetic devotion to lessons. Bee came to us from New Jersey, and although she lives in West Chester this year, she rises in arms when any mention of her beloved State is made. We know Beatrice will be successful as a teacher. Inn will she continue teaching? .-Vryan. 38 JAXF. P.. DOWXIXC ., Bristol. Pa. Jane.

Her dimpled smile has never failed to cheer her class- mates, among whom she is a great favorite. She came to us two years ago from Hatboro High School.

We have often wondered wliether she ever got lonesome when the other students were away, but because of her cheerful countenance (along with some other reasons) we have come to the con- clusion that she never had time to be lonely. There are lots of things she likes, for instance, dancing and Cicero. Strange combination, isn ' t it? Arvan. ELLA M. EMERY, Lcckrouc. Pa. A great wonder in mathematics we find pictured here. We looked for loo ' s from her in every examination. Ella was ready for any question at any time, and had an answer for it, too. Especially was this true in literature, and in the volunteer work she was always Johnnie on the spot. She will undoubtedly go to college and leave a record there that will make us proud of her as a classmate. Aryan. KATHERIXE V. EMERY, Lcckrouc. Pa.

She has quite a liking for midnight feasts, and never had the bad fortune of getting caught (?). How ' bout it. Katherine ? In all recitations she is a shining light, lint in mathematics she is a star. We know of her inclina- tion for the teaching profession, and we wish her nuich success. Arvan. HELEN EVERTS, West Chcsfcr. Pa. -All the sun in the Normal School seems to center about Helen ' s bright head. She is a girl with whom we have had few chances to get acquainted outside of classes, but she has proved herself to be a student, bright and cheerful. Talking is her chief pleasure.

Frances and the Normal School feel very well acquainted, for she started her studies here when she was a little girl. She is still little, physically, being one of the smallest girls of our large class. As a special feature we might say that she possesses a pair of the most mischievous eyes in the whole Normal School, usually centering their attention upon German and Oeometry. Aryan. ANNA M.

In spite of the fact that she is one of our feather-weights. •he has shown us that she is heavy enough to make hersell felt here at school. Xo one in the whole school seems to enjoy herself more than Esther, and her cheerful smile and i|nick step show what a happy, Inisy ])er.son she is. Aryan. 63 AIAKII-: D. MARSHALL, Lczccs. Del. Marie, like Topsy, just grew and grew. When she wislies to avoid a teacher, she just turns sidewise and is never seen. Marie came here with the intention of getting an education without allowing hooks or teachers to interfere with her. On hearing her rendition of popular songs one would vow she had missed her vocation in selecting a school teacher ' s life. We judge that it will not be long lieforc her vocation will take a new turn. Arvan. META M. MATTERX, Omigsbiirs:. re. As a graduate of high rank from the Orwigslnirg High School and as a full-fledged school-marm, Meta came here two years ago to further fit herself for her high calling. All her friends will tell you that she has been a very studious girl, and this characteristic, no doubt, has and will make her teaching career a successful one. Meta cannot be classed among the noisy members of 1912, for even the tread of a wee mousie distracts her. Moore. MIXXIE McAFEE, St. Pete Pa. Minnie graduateil from East Xantnieal High School be- fore coming here. She started in our Junior class, doing excellent work each of the three years she has been with us. Shorty is well liked bv all who know her, and her good nature and willingness to help others make her welcome everywhere. She says she mtends to teacli, bnt my stars.

Here is Clara ! l or two years she has l)cen studying away at this .Xornial School and enjoying the Hen dances. Dancing, by the w ay, is her favorite sport, but if you could see her shining countenance, you would surely think there was nothing she liked to do so well as to smile and laugli. She came to us from West Chester High School, and has done good work. Moore. M. RV MrCROXE, MeDoi,oii: h. Del. Mary came to us four years ago, and during her stay here has made a host of friends.

We know beforehand that she will make a splendid teacher, but just for fun here are our best wishes. MARY P. McDOXXELL, Sc rant on. Pa. Molly started out at the Stroudsburg Normal School, but after spending three days there she recognized the super- iority of West Chester, and has now been with us for two years. We are glad that she decided to cast her lot with us. because we certainly could not have done without her. She is a loyal Aryan and seems to be ready for any good times that come her way. Just take a good look at her picture, and you will know why she has so many friends. .Xryan. MARY J. McFADDEX, Elkric-a-. Pa. Mickey came to us three years ago, a graduate of Ox- ford Higii School. When you first meet Mary the impres- sion that she is quiet may sieze you, but when you know her, — oh, my ! ! She is fond of Cicero and ethics. A friend once said, I can read anything in Cicero with the help of Marv McFadden ! Sounds ponified, but not so. Mary is a good student, and here ' s to her success. ]Moore. SARA R. McKIXLEY, Frascr.

She entered this school in 1910. after graduating from Allentown High School, and during her entire course at Normal has maintained a high stand ard in all of her classes. Her chief objects of joy here are the frequent oc- currence of fried potatoes as an article of diet and the let- ters she so often receives from her interesting friends and acquaintances. Moore. MARY F. MOHRLEIN, Port Deposit, Md. We are greatly indebted to the State of Maryland and to Tome InstiUite for Mary. She certainly has caused consid- erable liveliness in the two years she has been here. She is an active Moore and a member of the Y. ' . C. A. Getting up in the morning is the only trial she has. She is going to Vellsley, and after finishing there is going to become a per- fect Lady. Here are our best wishes, Mary. Correspond- ing Secretary of the Moore Society. HANNA L.

Quietly Belle stepped into our midst when we were Sen- iors, after attending the Shippensburg Normal School Was she in quest of a Ijetter one? Being fond of The Methods of the Teachers here, she evidently has been suc- cessful in her desire. Belle ' s favorite studies are grannuar and literature, but she has gained a reputation by her bril- liant recitations in physics. We know her as an earnest student and a successful teacher.

Corresponding Secretary Moore Society. STANLEY O ' NEAL, Everett. Pa. Strong bodies strengthen moral courage. W ' c do not wish to say whether or not this applies to Stanley, but we will say that he is energetic and ambitious, with a light streak of the mischievous interwoven. Stanley has taken an active part in track work, being a member of the track team in 191 1 and 1912. Next to gymnastics, Bible study seems to attract most of his attention. May good fortune accompany you through life, Stanley. President Moore Societv. JOSEPH S. P.VRRY, Rnshland, Pa. This is the third year that Joe has been a participant in our struggles at Normal. Joe is a good, hard-workin g tudent and a great athlete, running being his favorite sport. Me broke the scliool record for a mile in the spring of 191 1. After graduating Joe expects to teach.

Outside interests have claimed so much of Grace ' s attention that we liaven ' t had a chance to know her very well, but wc are glad she belongs to 1912, and here are our best wishes, . rvan. EVA B. RAHN, Pcrkioincuvillc. Pa. Here is one of the little members of our class — little in stature, but not in knowledge. Eva has been with us three years, and during that time has put forth much energy in her work. The lack of social privileges, which she says she dislikes verv much, has not prevented her from making friends, for she has a host of them. She expects to be a school-marm, and we wish her much success. Arvan. CORA RAM BO, Roycrsfoni. Pa. If asked to describe Cora, one would doulnlcss say first of all that she is a very quiet-looking girl, Imt Things are not always what they seem — so her closest friends tell us. Idiev also say that tidiness is one of Cora ' s strong charac- teristics. Conscientiousness niav also be added to her list of strong virtues, for it has been with this spirit that she has always attacked her school duties. Aryan. MARY D. RAMSAY, ' « Chester. Pa. Mary shines, in every sense of the word, from the crown of her beautiful hair to the very tips of her toes. She fairly radiates brilliancy: if you doubt this, just go to her for some help in mathematics. She is also one of our best man- nered girls, antl only spoils this excellent reputation by in- dulging in the exi)ression Good night. Moore. 74 j()SI-:iMllXI ' : I.. KAI ' IXI ' :. Conshohockcn. Pa.

He stars in all branches, but prefers mathematics, and served us most efficiently as Dr. Anderson ' s assistant. His favorite sport is tennis, in which he holds the school championship, that is. among the boys. Of course, we know he would be beaten by the girls. He is bound to accomplish great things. President Aryan Society. President Tennis Association. EDITH P. RICH, Laiighornc. Pa. Richie came to us from George School, where she had bunked for two years. We are mighty glad she turned her footsteps in this direction and joined our happy throng. She is a star forward on the girls ' team of basket-ball, and if one is suddenly clapped on the back — you know it ' s Richie before you look. Edith is an energetic student, and we know she will be most successful. Aryan. BERTHA RICHARD, Newark. N. J. Bertha is always the same, a jolly companion and trusty friend. She is a true all-round athlete and a memlier of the basket-all team. Bee revels in midnight feasts and de- lights in reading or having a royal good time in another girl ' s room, especially during study hour. Occasionally she walks mournfullv to her room after having been found under the table. But her humor always carries her through. What a host of fun and s]iirit in those dancing eyes. Aryan. KATHERINE E. RICHARDS, Reading. Pa. This light-haired maiden is one of the jolliest girls of the Senior class. Whenever and wherever you see her, she greets you with a happy smile. She is very good-natured, and during her two-years ' stay with us has made nianv friends. Although always ready for a good time, Trina masters her lessons easily. She has acquired a very marked preference for mathematics, as her work well attests. Moore. 76 MIRIAM RIDGE, Trc, Pa. Miriam is a Bucks County girl, and, hearing of our re- nnwn, three years ago joined our ranks. She is always happy and smiling; in fact, I think her nintto is, Eat, drink and he merry, for she is often heard in the halls saying, Oh, heck ! I wish I had something to eat. Her favorite sports are sleeping and walking. She hopes to specialize in mathematics in the near future, . ryan. MARGIE A. ROLAND, Bcnicsboro. l i. O ie would tliink at first sight that Margie is a quiet girl, hut appearances sometimes ileceive us. That calm face cov- ers a nmltitude of jokes and Iiumor, and under that mask of dignity is the love of adventure and the desire for excitinj experiences. After leaving here she will travel in Europe in order to see in reality the visions she ha ' s so often seen while studying her beloved literature. Moore. ) HELEX L. ROSS. Oxford. Pa. Ding! dong!

Good humor and fun radiate from Helen; she makes everybody feel happy. I ven the marks at examina- tion time feel gay and jump way up the scale when Helen ' s turn conies. Yes, Oxford High School, we are very much obliged to von for this rosy-cheeked contribution. I ' Ioore. TS.VRiaj.E L. ROSS. Lmcs. Del. This golden-haired maiden hails from Delaware. She is proud of her Diamond .State, and judging from her value to us we are sure that the State is well named. In mathe- matics Isabelle certainly is a star — for that matter there is no subject in which she does not shine. She says her ambi- tion is to teach. What great deeds are we to expect from so remarkable a personage? .Moore. 77 MABEL V. ROUND. Hast Doivniui tou ' ii. Pa. Mabel ' s name just describes ber face, but not her manner, for she is so quiet you would never guess that she was ■ around. She would tell you her favorite sport was run- ning, but those who know her well say base-ball. She is known as Priscilla by her most intimate friends. Mabel al- ways has a smile for every one. Has anyone ever seen her cross or heard her complain? . rvan. E. BLANXHE RUDY, Omigsbiii i;. Pa. What a noble personage to describe with words! Untiring in her efforts toward tlie welfare of the class and her So- ciety, she has reaped as her reward a host of friends. Bril- liant recitations in class have always characterized her work here at X ' ormal School, and we fee! certain that some letters written aliout History of Ed. have been among the best ever written. Speed thee well, Blanche. Secretary of class in Middle Year. Recording Secretary Moore Society. . s- sociate Editor on Serpentine Staff. S. GERTRUDE SCHELL, JJ -st Chester. Pa. Think of all the nice adjectives you can, then prefix them to Shelly ' s name, and you ' ll have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

It is needless to say anything about Carrie ' s scholarship, for everyone knows what good work she has done, especially in literature and nialhenialics. .Moore. 79 EDITH C. SHELLEY, Stcclton. Pa. In Edith we find a Senior who knows the vahie of stud- iousness and is ever ready with questions and advice. Al- tliough she has been with us but a short time, she has proved herself to be an entliusiast and a good companion. She was a menilier of the class of 1909 of this class, but illness pre- vented her graduating, and after several years of teaching she has returned to the folds of Old Rose and Black. Moore. HELEN E. SHIVELV, ffV.v Chester. l i. Helen has been with us only one year, coming here from Shippenslnirg Normal School. We are glad she decided to make the change, for she is a student that any Normal School would feel proud of. She is the stand-by of nearly all the teachers, and it is very seldom that she does not have the correct answer to any question she may be asked. She in- tends to teach drawing after leaving here. Aryan. JULIA G. SLAVIN, Toiighkcnamoii. Pa. After completing the thrce-vear course at the Kennett .Square High School, Julia came to this school in 1910. She is better known as Jule, and the joy and delight of all who know her, always ready for her share in the pranks that are plaved. and always on the job when the cares and duties of that liig four-girl room are almost overwhelming. Moore. RUTH SLEEK, yVw Paris. Pa. This brown-eyed maiden hails from Bedford County, and like others from that county, is one of our most brilliant stu- dents. History and literature are among her favcn ile studies, while she deliglits in quotations, especially that of To Mary (Jueen the |3raise be given: She sent the gentle Sleep from Heaven. Ruth is a most thoughtful, reticent girl, and we are sure to hear later of her success at college. Moore. 80 1 mJ ' H 1 H I H f ' dQ M H i .MAKIyUri ' TA M. SMr-:LKKR, Kc ' . -ion Hamilloii. Pa.

Pa. llrown eyes has been with us three years, coming here after graduating from her home High School. Her fayorite -tudy is German, and she is especially efficient in this branch, being one of the brightest of our class. She is always endca- oring to teach her friends some (ierman phrase. Her favor- ite expression is, leh liebc dieh. Like some other Rethle- hcniites, she is full of fun and a very pleasant entertainer. Moore. .MAKIOX SMITH, Poolhwyu. Pa. -Marion is not only a good student, but has shown consiil- erable talent for acting, having been the leading lady in the Middle ' ear I ' lay and in a .sketch called The Mouse Trap. She is not afraid of a mouse, though, nor even a June-bug, as her chums will testify. When she can think of nothing better to say, one hears her ejaculate, Isn ' t this exciting! Pink roses have called forth tin ' s remark. Aryan. 8( RUTH V. SMITH, Loiiii ' n ' oods, Md. Alarvland must be a bright country, because Rufus, or Sniittv has lirought roses in her cheeks and sunshine in her smile. She has attended this institution for two and one-half years, and while here has become a lover of literature, Ger- man and dancing. After graduation Smitty expects to teach and travel, in which undertakings we wish her much success. Moore. SADIE M, SXVDKR, Bcnivillc. I ' a. This demure little maiden well exemplifies the saying that It is better to give than to receive. for many a girl on Third has shared Sadie ' s most delightful boxes. In all her studies she is both diligent and conscientious, but esijecially is she a star in Latin. Of course, it is an understood thing that Sadie will not teach, for she has an unusual attraction for Bright things. Aryan. MARY STACKHOUSE, Ambler. Pa. Molly is a merry, good-natured lass, very quiet and mod- est, applying herself with great zeal to all her lessons. She fairly delights in mathematics, and when it comes to writing stories and composing verse, just ask Mary to do it. In spite of her quiet nature, she is always ready for a frolic. We wish her the best success in her favorite line of teaching, history. Moore. CLARA L. C. STEVENSON, Clifton Hci i lits. Pa. Clara is one of our quiet members. She does not say much but what she says is right to the point. When passing her room we have often heard sine and co-sine tioatmg from the transom, from which one could easily conclude that she is very studious. Her favorite sport is sleighing. Need we speak further concerning her life? Moore. 82 ALICE P. STI ' AVARl), Oiilnton. X. J. Alice is a very primp young latly, witli some very positive idias. She has been actively associated with the Y. W. C. A. as a delegate to the Silver Bay Conference and as ' ice-Pres- ident of the Association during her Senior year. I ler iirompt- ness to all duties is also well worthy of note. We hope that the dream of her life may be realized and that the years she spends tra -eling may not be spent alone. Moore. EDXA M. SWAKTIJ ' V, Lansdalc. Pa. Here is a little miss of our class wdio is very fond of house- parties and all the sports which accompany them. Ted ' s motto was. Always be on time, but we are sure she was pleased one night to say. Bv George, you missed your train. She has made manv friends during her sojourn here, partly due to her willingness to hel|) the girls, especially when a dress needed niendin . Mere ' s to Ted ' s success. .Vrvan. HATTIE D. SW.WELV. Olcy. Pa. This little Quakeress. after graduating from the Oley High -School, came to West Chester Xormal .School to fur- ther prepare herself for the teaching profession, ilattie be- lieves in getting at the bottom of things, and her method of getting there is by a series of (ptestions. Naturally Deutsch Ivas been her favorite study, b ' rom her record here, we feel sure that her work in teaching will be successful. , rvan. MORRIS C. SVPHERD, Glen Moore. Pa. Och I Pop is the father of our class, and naturally the boys look to him for advice. He sets a good example for the boys by attending all religious services and the like. His genial disposition has won many friends, and with seven years ' experience as a teacher we feel certain that Morris will capably train to perfection the minds of coming genera- tions. A good, jolly companion we know him to be. . ryan. 83 EDNA C. TAYLOR, Lansduzciic. Pa. T is for Ted Taylor, tanie(?), tactful, talented, talking, treasure, trump of a girl, who is loved bv everybody. She never s])ends a niome};it idly, and those which are not spent in straightening out class accounts or writing for The Ser- I ' ENTixE are spent in crocheting or sewing. She spent last summer abroad, and now she entertains her friends with in- teresting accounts of foreign places and wonders. Arvan. Class Treasurer. Assistant Editor Serpentine. Education- al Association. ANNA D. THATCHER, Media. Pa. Better three hours early than one minute late. This is .Ann ' s way all through her work. Sh ' e is never seen in the class-room without those requirements which others are so apt to forget. She is a girl of few words, having learned that actions sjjeak louder than words. May Fortune favor her. Moore. MARY E. THOMAS, Bethlehem. Pa. Marv, or Tonunv, as she is known bv her friends, is a graduate of Bethlehem High School. She is an incessant talker and tease, but a jolly, good-natured lassie with a smile and a hel]3ing hand for everyone. Tommy ' s one weakness is her fondness for pies and questions. Ask her about it. I ler patriotism for her country is remarkable and bursts forth in the My Country, ' Tis of Thee feeling so often experi- c-iiced liv her. Arvan. S. NELLIE THORNE, Poi. Pa. Nell has com|)leted the Normal course in two vears, coming to us from the Cochranville High School, where she graduated in 1910 as the valedictorian of her class. She ac- complished much during her stay here, due mainly to her ability to complete successfully what she undertakes, wdiich is a fine trait for one who expects to teach indefinitely. Here ' s success to you, Nell. Aryan. 84 JOHN il. T ■SO •. Pollslowu. Pa.

Ted came here from Shippensl)urg, and has simply stunned us by his brilliancy in mathematics. Success to vou, E. A. U. .Vryan. MARY II. -AXnERSI.ICE. Poltsrillc. Pa. Alollie is a very brilliant, though (|uiet, member of our class, and a very zealous student. Hut once in a while she takes a recess, and then there are pranks. Molly is great at mathematics and Latin, in fact, what isn ' t she great at? I ' ottsville High School and her class can be ])roud of Molly, for she is one of those who will climb the stairs lo success .•nifl look back o -er work well done. Arvan. J. LOinSE WAii.X ' EK.

Louise is a faithful student, and the most loyal of Moores.

We have Tome Institute again to thank fur this excellent contribution. Social Connnittee of ' . W. C. .A. 85 ISABEL A. WALKER, Melrose Park. Pa. Laliel came to us from Abingtoii a little more than two years ago. While there she was Vice-President of her class, and this vear she has efficiently performed the duties of Re- cording Secretary of the Aryan Society. She has chosen as her life work the teaching of mathematics, and we believe she will make a success of it. So here ' s good luck to you, Chick, in all you strive to do. RACHAEL W .W A K Ul.

Moore. CLARENCE J. WALSH, IVayuiart. Pa. There are several brilliant people in our illustrious class, lint all otliers are overshadowed liy the wondrous brilliancy of this intelligent youth. During the past year he has served as assistant to Prof. Smedley in chemistry, and the major part of his work shows that he knows how to do things well. He is our mathematical genius, — in fact, what has he not mastered ? What can he not do ; what has he not done ? President Moore Society. NANNIE L. WARD, Dchiiar. Del. Nancy, our golden-haired blonde, formerly attended Mil- lersville. but some cause drew her to West Chester, probably the influence of her Blue Hen companions. She is a great worker and never has time for sport. She may usually be found in the library or in literature classes. She is destined to be Professor of English in some Western university, for it is evident she is intended for it. Moore. 86 I ' ANXIE L. . KR1X(;T0 ' . Gcorgcto-a ' ii.

This maiden is one of the fairer representatives from Montgomery County, and better known to her friends as Alexander. Her favorite studies are the languages. Ask her if she likes to take gymnasium, and she will tell you that she would rather stand in the gallerv and watch her fellow- students do the work. Elizabeth has been a successful stu- dent, and at the same time she has had time for a jolly, good time. Aryan. ELLA M. b:in.M. X. Hoiieybrook. Pa. This S])rightly Miss finds her chief ilelight in dancing. She is friendly with everyone except a few well-intentioned peo- ple, whom she says take too much interest in her jjerscjnal affairs. She expects to go to college, after teaching a while. She has a pair of e ' es that sjjarklc, a laugh that bubbles, and a voice that drawls N ' ou ' re the limit.

Ynez says she will teach in Pennsylvania two years, and then — oh, well, time alone will tell. Recording Secretary Aryan Society. ROSE M. WIKER, f racer. Pa. This cpu ' et, gentle, little girl comes from the East White- land High School. She seems to he very conscientious and appears to enjoy her work so much that you would never expect her to say that she feels thankful when the four o ' clock hell rings. And when it does ring, you should see her hurrv for her train ! Evidently there is some attraction at home for Patty. Speed thee on to success and happi- ness. Arvan. HELEN L. WTLLIAMS, Elwyii. Fa. Here is another helen — almost the last one in the class. She ' s a good, jolly fellow as anyone might know who has ever travelled on the Media school train. She comes from Elwyn, hut was graduated from the Media High School. The two things which interest her most are German and the faculty — hut she always knows her pronouns in grammar. A suc- cessful career is predicted for her. Aryan. A. riAZEI.TIXE WIT. SOX, Ifrst Chester. Pa. I la ! ha ! ha ! ha ! Just hear her laugh. Getting si|uelche(l is lier favorite delight, so she says.

She is an Aryan, and when she teaches next year, she may feel sure that all the good wishes of her classmates go with her. We are sure she will be successful. MARK N. WITMRR. Hickory Coiiirrs. Pa. The class of 1912 can well feel proud of this voung man, a good fellow in every way. An intellectual wonder in class, a successful contestant in athletics, an active ])artici|)ant in school affairs, all have made him one of the shining stars of our class. Probahly his home address, as in days of yore, has Ijlayed its jjart in wielding the life of this voung man. ' ice- President of class in Middler year. ' ice-l ' rcsident of Moore Society.

She is sure to make a good record wherever she goes, for she is one of our hest students. Good marks at examination times, and good fun at all times, seem to come her way. She can tell jokes and spout Latin in the same hreath, and do them hoth well, .- rvan. MARGARET A. WORRALL, Gin, Moore. Pa. Although not very large ])Iiysically, Peg is very energetic and faithful. After graduating from the Glen Moore High School, where she was secretary of her class, she came to the W. C. S. N. S. During her stay here she has made many friends hy her cheerful disposition. Of the school suhjects, mathematics has grown to he her favorite, as her class work in B6 testifies. Margaret intends to teach after leaving the Normal, and the hest wishes of her friends will remain with her in her future work. Aryan. RAI-PH M. WRIGHT, IFest Chester. Pa. This dignified voung man, a graduate of the West Chester High School, had charge of the girls of Study Hall this year.

We found oursebes a band of honest, noble, energetic inquirers after trutli, lia ing but one lamp by which our feet were guided, namely : To l)e better men and women. Not one cluiice among the lot, Not one lesson we forgot. Time and space forbid that we should dwell at length and in detail ujion the numerous events of our sojourn — the l)arest sketch must suffice. It seemed hard at tirst to bear the name of Junior, since some of us had al- ready possessed the (|uality of greatness not usually attributetl to a Junior. In those ilays we laid much stress upon marks, for every Junior had a profound conscious- ness that his future happiness (lei)ended upon his marks: l)ut as the brilliant achieve- ments of our Junior and Middle years have already been recorded, the - ma_ - be summed up in the simple e.xpression, I ' ciii, X ' idi z ' ici — I come, I saw, Icon(|uered. Uur Middle year was characterized by the same prodigious energy and intle- fatigable zeal that marked the first year of our course. Here our life was entirely different. It was then we learned that we were placed in the world to i)lay a [)art in a great drama of world e ents, with honor and dignity to uphold. ' e can be lenient in our judgment of Juniors, for we know what it is to be despised for t)ur ignorance and pitied for our helplessness. We ha e been Mid- dlers, too, ha e ex|)erienced the fanciful imagination (jf a Aliddler, and have felt lh;it Juniors should apologize for their very existence. We ha e had a taste of it .ill. until now we ha e established our e(|uilibrium, have laid aside all fiHvolities, and with an increased amount of dignitv, wisdom, and hard ' work base become gra e and sober minded Seniors, toiling as ever for our Alma Mater. I ' ven though our labors as a class have been great, we cannot help recall m;my ])lcasant hours spent together. Our class work has been most enjoyable throughout. ( )ur teachers, not omitting gentle reminders of our i lebianism, and 93 to improve ourselve.s. How we ha ' e availed mirsehcs of these advantages each one knows for himself. There is plenty to do, if we Init do it. We now stand upon tie threshold of a new life, and the responsibilities which are ours are many. We are brought to a sudden realization of practical life. . s we are about to get into line in the struggling tide of humanity, we hesitate, but this need not be. Let our efforts be the l est possible. Let us push forward with an earnestness and zeal never before shown. We should remember that we are in this life with a definite jjurpose ; that we are .struggling for success, and that we must never yield until tlie height of our ambitions is reached. If we accomplish this, our class motto, To the Stars Throulig Difficulties, will become incarnate in our lives. Our preparation is over; our course is run. Ciladly would we remain with our kind teachers and friends, but Father Time beckons us (in, with an assurance that a bright future lies before us. Fancy may picture beyond the precincts of the class-room a great success, but of one thing we are certain : whatever may be our re- ward in the future. whate er fame or reputation is in store for us, the hours will bring sweet recollections of our school work, and till our Normal School days with pleasant memories.

' c came from homes that missed us, We came from far and wide, To be sheltered within tlie Xnrmal As brotliers side by side. We thirsted for knuwledge and wisdom And finding ' it, craxed for more ; We gloried in plans for the future And reveled in magical lore. Tile compass ami sijuare aitled many. We learned of the sea and the earth ; We rendered the songs of the masters, We traced nut the land of our birth. The sphere of our life was de eloped. The natures we met with were rare, Thev showed us the pathway all mystic That led to a golden somewdiere. Till now. as we turn eager faces Toward that which is known not l)elow, Wc aid the enlightenment of others, As out from these portals we go. This is the story of aliants, Told as they pass through the gate ; Night shadows her igi2 mortals, I!ut da ' time discloses her fate. R. K., ' 12. 95 CHE first ray of liglit was slowly stealing over the hushed alley. A streak of red flashed across the hea ens, then another, and still another, pro- claiming the birth of the new day. As it grew brighter one could discern a rugged path, not many feet in width, following the irregular course of a languid, muddy stream. In the distance was a traveller, bearing a staf? to aid him on his long journey. Stuut sandals protected his feet, and at his side hung a sack containing sufficient food to sustain him through the long morning he journeyed and, as the heat of the mid-day sun grew more se ' ere, he felt the first signs of fatigue. He was not mindful of his feet, grown heavy with weariness, but ever gazed up- ward. On and on he jiressed, and now the jjath liatl turned aside from the unbroken evenness of the valley. Xo longer did the sandals seem to resist the shari) thrusts of stones (j er which he ])assed, but on he toileil, looking up. not down, heedless at first (jf the steej) path he determinedl}- climbed, until at last each low undulation rose like a gigantic mountain before his strained eyes. The sun put all his strength in one last effort to emblazon earth and sky with matchless glory, then sinking (|uickly below the horizon, left the world to the quiet of twilight. With steps grown weary, and torn by briars and thorns, discouraged at heart, once more looking toward the celestial firmament, his g-aze was caught and held by the brilliancy of a single star. Its wondrous beauty, in that death-like stillness, filled his soul with amazement, and as he gazed he became infused with new ' igor, new energy, new determination. I ' orward he pressed, little heeding now the sharpness and difficulties of the pass, and fascinated by the l ifty and silent messen- ger, reached at length the terminus of his journey. The path of life, over which all must i)ass, is strewn with some stones and bri- ars. Even supi)orted by a staff of health or protected b_vi sandals of wisdom and 96 forethought from the hiuise;; of sharp missiles thrown in our way, there are times of weariness and discouragement. The morning of our life dawns hright and carefree. ' e live in childish ha])- piness until the toil of the day places in our path a trifling difficulty, which in turn may he replaced hy a huge stumhling block. We may set our standards higher than all, vet, even to the stars, and ever look up with a steadfast gaze to that brightest of all stars — our ideal. When we have attained this, through all the harriers that shut us from it, then and then only, may be enjoyed the full satisfaction of a successful career. To us, as Seniors, the opportunity for success is just opened. Let us not think of it lightly, l)ut realize with the jniet that truly — Beneath this starry arch Xaught resteth or is still. Hut ail things hold their march As if hy one great will. Move one, move all, Hark to the footfall. On. on, forever. .fe« 97 I Sonnet to 1012 V Orplic-us with liis lute should rise again, And strolling, make his famous notes resound, Of thee, O 1912, would he their strain, Thy fame would cause great concourse of sweet sound. Could Virgil or could Homer once more sing Thy deeds of prowess to the skies would rise, From pole to pole thy grace and beauty ring And lovely be, as now, to many eyes ; But fame, as thine, forever will endure. It needs not ])oet or singer ' s kindly art, For day by day, they deeds and precepts pure. Have worn their way to manv a trusting heart; In hearts, not books, thy deeds will printed be.

So I ' illie ' jo ed once more the thing he often did not dare, l i;r he was unmolested and no one stojjped to tease Cntil thev heard an awful .scream; it issued from Louise. It happened she had gazed too far across the realms of air . nd got ipiite faint from gazing and gazing o ' er llicri ' . 99 So Billie asked her if she wuuld make tlie party tliree, Louise kioked rather s riev ' d and answered. No. not me. ' As we were journeying ' throug ii tlie air. a mist hegan to faU. And soon ' twas pretty eliilly. and mist enshrouded aik Now Alice Steward thought it wrong to Ije so in tiie dark. lUit others thouglit it just tlie thing, for they could surely spark. Nellie Lukens joined her chum — she. something had disco ered. And startled all when to their -iew a lantern was uncovered. . s Vernon wandered on his way. he met a dainty miss. W ho offered him — imagine, do — a portion of a candv kiss. John Tyson started up a fuss because the ship was going too slow. And ventured aid to Milo Light, who made the winged ship go; lUit his aid, so kindly offered, found objection, and then he fussed, Because the seat he sat on was so awfullx- full of dust. We surely are arriving. I see a star, a star! Twas Polly Head who called this forth: we ' re there. 1 know we are. And sure enough, the star was near, we anchored fast and tirm. And one by one came from the ship on which a light did ])urn. Clarence, quite undismayed, with Peggy letl the crowd, And some one called forth from the rear, ' Ted ' Ulsh, that ' t not alloweil! To our surprise (?) he had four girls; he surely looked a knave, . nd for a time, to tell the truth, it looked a little grave. Suddenly the glare began to hurt the eyes of all. And each one wore blue glasses, as they had them at their call. Blanche Keller sighed. Ah, me! ah, me! this, too, must I endure. If I must wear blue glasses, I ' ll have the blues for sure. A fairy then did bid the class to enter her domain. But told them that the time was short, and quickly it would wane. Now Bobbie smiled at her — and lo! — don ' t be alarmed. She touched him with her fairy wand, and then she had bin: charmed. Hie nineteen-tweh-ers, one by one, for single tile thev had to go, ' ent slowly through a great glass door, — as slow, as slow, as slow; Their eyes beheld a terrible sight that fairly made them cpiiver, I ' or there they saw a dragon bold, so large it made them shiver. Now, Pious Paul, he called for prayer, but none were there to heed, For with Josepli Parry at the bead, they ran with all their speed. And there, alone, stood Harding, our giant, brave and bold, Who cut the dragon into bits before it could be tokl ; And, with a terrible roar of pain it op ' ed its mouth cpiite wide — And ( )( ' ( within the instant; then Sidie stepped inside ; P ut bang! tlie mouth, relaxed in death, went shut — we heard a slH)Ut, ni1 there ] ii()r F.ditli was alone; she yelled. O. let nie mit ! Mark Xaee. the ali;int, took a knife and cut tlie thmi; in twci; ( )nt lulith came. (|nite humhle, as onlv she ci iilil dn. And then we s])ied the iiungsters, and with them came a g nome. Who said he ' d take us on a trip, not like a trip at home; And soon we heard a clamor and saw a comet ' s tail. And saw our tjiiome there seated all ready tor a sail. l ' irst all the l)o ' s hous ' ht tickets, and all the t; ' irls made haste To climl) njjon the comet, and st)on each one was ijlaced. Stover searched for Kditl: and found her with lier chum, (lazing ' at the atmosi)hcre. and ha ing lots of fun; h ( r Imp was writing verses, and quoting Shakespeare, too, As she had been instructed by Professor dreen to do. As we were mo ing on through space (and (|uickly we did lly), W ' e saw the ancient wnmen sweeping cobwebs fromtlieskv; And Marion Smith insisted we tarry for a while. lo ask the current fashion antl the prevailing style. Jo Rapine and Russell bmcs discovered in the air A group of stars that the ' had learned was called the Little Bear. , And Gertrude Schell with pencil began to sketch the moon. Which we were fast api)roacliing — we got there just at noon; . nd sure enough, the fairv folk were dining, if nu please, . nd vou will be surprised to know thev had for lunch green cheese. I ' .dna (iray, frcjm Pittsliurgh, was searching high and low {■ or Rhea, her companion, where she was she didn ' t kn(jw. She found her with a fairy, who had pretzels, fresh and nice. And she wouldn ' t gi e Dolly anv. though she asked her once or twice. ihe tail them stopped to leave us off to visit regions new ; W ' e saw the cow jump over the moon, but Sanniel Faust saw two, lUit that was just l)ccause he had a lense in hand, . nd made a test of everything he saw from this new land. The sky seemed dark and gloomv, so we mounted, one and all. Determined we would all reach school before the night-birds call. (Irace Mover found, to her delight, the dipper in the course, . nd wished to take it with her, but dared not, to her remorse; She said she knew we ' d need it, as the nn ' lk_ - way we passed; We had to be content w ithout — for we w ere going too fast. Somehow it happened that a man of magic did a|)i)ear. Who said it was the custom in the time Tiv called Lea]) ' ear To have a maiden marry the man she lox ' cd the best. And all sih ' did was to propose, and iiuti U ' did the rest. We bade our fairv folk ' good-bve — then ran to Rosie I ' lack. W ' lio, safely liarhnred in the air, was g ' oinsj- Intake us liack. So, with her mig ' hty wlhr of wings, we sonn were nn the way, And went a-whizzing im thi ' dugli space willimit tlie least delay. We all were rather sleei)y, st) we nodded, then we dozed. And uixMi our awakening the Xornial was disclosed. We soon were standing at the door, and I ' ehictaiil telt each one, A wishin.g we were starting out a,gain for such good lun. We stood heside our ship, so dear, and with a mighty roar. We yelled our yell, to her- alone, as none had done before, As if hy magic she then Hew awa} ' up in the air, And we h;i e ue er seen her since, so she must still be there, We all enjoyed our glorious trip among the stars and moon, And onl ' felt regretful, ' cause it ended all too soon. But some day ( if we all come back ) as visitors to this jilacc. We ' ll call again our airship to come d(iwn out of space: And underneath her banner, for she flijats Old Rose and Black, We ' ll soar again aniong ' st the stars — that is, when we come br.ck. And we ' ll recall our trip aloft, amid the stars so bright, And rejoice that we can take again another glorious tli.ght : And for friendshi|) ' s sake we ' ll linger at the portals of the door. As we gather here at Normal as we did in days of yore. To the stars through difficulties is our motto, heed its cry. And you ' ll reach the stars, my classmates, long before you die, To the stars through difficulties du will .go, and reach the hei.ght. And you ' ll not need an airship then to aid you in your flight ; For with upward, earnest strixing, fate will help you where you are. And you ' ll tind you ' re lucky underneath your luck ' star. Good luck attend your lli.ght, mv friend, as on von .go in life. Just remember this one motto, it may help you in the strife. Keep in mind tlie thin.g you want to be, then reach in time that aim. And we ' ll hear of you, dear classmates, from within the Halls of I ' ame. R. K., ' ij. 102 103 Class Prophecy IT was early in Ja.miary, 1920, when The A.mii.et for tliat mmith arrived at my office, and on g-lancing ox ' er tiie Alumni Notes, much to iiiv surprise, I found them dex ' oted entirely to sliort liistories of some of the niemljers of the class of 191J. How glad I was to read about those whom I had kunwn l)ack in the dear old days! Wondering- who had taken so much interest in us I turned to see who was editor for the Xtjtes, and found to m ' surjirise and delight that Beulah now had charge of the much-enlarged department of story telling for the Seniors and the reading and jjuhlic speaking at the Normal, and as one of her many other duties the writing of the Alumni Notes. I was not so nuich surprised, either, when I thought of her interest in the class, and how she work ed for it when we were all together. Then I wondered whose idea it was to devote so much of the paper to dear old 1912. On reading further I found it was due to Norma Aleck, who is now a critic of note, that several of the mim- hers of The Amulet should he devoted each year to giving a brief history of one class in eacli number in order to keep in tcjuch with as many old graduates as possible. The first item was naturally devoted to our [jresident who, after studying for five years, was now coiufortably settled iin New ' ork, being a rising lawver, with bright prospects, looking towards public office in the near future. He was married, to(j, just as we expected. 1 he next note was about our vice-president, and stated that he was now editor of one of the leading I ' hiladelphia papers. 15elow were mentioned as some of his staff: Bodine, the athletic editor; Minnie Armstrong and Blanche Rudy as critics on Paris fashions, and Mary Kline contributing to the First Aid to Wounded Hearts. Witmer wrote up the quotations from the stock exchange. I found, too, that many (jf the poems in the ])aper were written by Ruth Kauffman, who is now a poetess of renown. Marion Smith, too had written a number of clever works in this line. Ulsh, I found, was living in Utah, but then I remember that he was always called The Mormon anyway. Patterson being interested in certain (Black) wood, had settled in the west. Nace, I found to my surprise, was a progressive business man in San Francisco, but then he was so quiet that we never could find out what he was aiming t(.) do. brancis and Nellie Bustin were carrying out their life work in India, where they are the heads of a large mission .school. Rachel Walker, too, was in the far East, but was principal of a large woman ' s college in Pekin, besides holding a re- sponsible position in the new Chinese Republic. I found that now she has been in every country on the globe, but then I remembered that she was a traveled mem- ber when she joined our ranks in 191 1. Sypherd is the head of a trolley company now, and Hellings is the head of the house at Fort Lee. 104 In the lU ' xl item 1 fuuiid tlial Mar.i ai cl (- ' asscll willi Ikt cliuni.

I ' rank lUirge, I found, had made sex ' cral aluahle discoveries in the world of riiy.sics. and had also invented se eral new instruments to help in hinding the con- tinent, the earth and the air together. Ksther .Margolis. Twin Grugan, and Harriet Kelly had hecome the designers of fashions which now the whole world coi)y, and New ' ork instead of I ' aris is the center of fashicm. I eil ' Swartlev. as wife of otirAmhassador to England, was now living ahroad. Ilclcn Shix ' ely and (iertrude Schell were hoth in Paris following their . rt studies, Wdiile Mo Kratz was head of nuv of the departnients of the School of Design, in Philadelphia. .Marv Paul was now a successful kindergarten teacher in her home town, and had (|uite rex ' olutionized that art Iw her new ideas.

' i ' hey are now planning a trip around the world together. Siuitty. Lucy Kenworthy, h ' aust and (iill still are the same quartet thai they used to he, and all ha e made their names known in the musical world. . delaide Woodside has already deli.glUed many audiences with her recitals since her return from (ierniany, and has a bright futmx ' in store for her. .Marion Head and iulith Scifert, I found, were the heads of the sewing de- ]iartments in the city s chools of Xew York and Philadelphia. I read farther ami found that Josephine Rapine was iirincii al of one of our large girls ' schools, and that J )ot Leini, true to her wuril, was still teaching, he- ing in the mathematical department of tire school, while her sister, Margaret ' s in- te.rest in Stocks had er - greath ' increased, in fact so much that thai was now her name. jose]ih Parr - was now .Vnierica ' s foremost marathon runner. ha ing taken the cham|)ionship in hoth the last ()l inpic games.

In looking oxer the remaining items. 1 found that Kathleen, Julia and fari- i|uitta were still following their chosen ])rofessions. Clarence alsh held a ch.air in science in one of the western unisersilies. and Milo was slill following his re- searches in Light. . s 1 turned the jiage to continue reading Tiif. . mui.et, 1 said to myself that if only the records of the rest of our ])eo])le could he obtained I felt sure that each one has done liis dut ' and is titling his or her own corner, w hate ' cr and w here ' er th.a! may be. 105 Give the flUibblcvs a Chance H 1 1 ! there tliey are! don ' t Iea e them out, J ' .i-t hecause they ' re Middlers ' riiough they ' re not as dignified, ' et we know that if tliey tried.

B. 1 06 107 913 Class History «5 t3 ' M ' MW ITH the coming- of the spring of 191 1 began the history of the class of ■ ■ I nineteen hunch ' ed thirteen. On the loth of April, the Juniors, with great enthusiasm, met in the old V. M. C. A. Room for the purpose of organ- izing. Here the officers for the remaining part of the year were elected : Robert Taylor, President: Sylvester Kerwick, Vice-President; Ethel Weir, Secre- tary : Hilda Chambers, Treasurer. At a later meeting a committee was appointed to frame a constitution, and this document was adopted April 24, 191 1. After long deliberation concerning a suitable motto, the class decided to adopt an expression from the poetry of Thomas I ' uchanan Read, Courag ' e, truth and rig ht, in accord with our attitude towards (.ur work here at school. Maroon and gray, as emblems of faithfulness and sturdy, untiring effort, we chose as our colors. We may be consideied by some superstitious intlividuals to be a fated class, being designated as that far-famed ' 13. Notwithstanding this serious handicap — in the estimatoin oi some people — we have won great success, and are pressing for- ward to obtain still greater attainments in the future. The class of 1913 is interesting in another way, for, with our graduation, the old three-year course, v.bich has served its purpose well, will die. In the distance we already see the approa ch of the new four-year course preparing to occupy the great gap that our going out will occasion. Nearly all our members, either as Aryans or Moores, are active work- ers in the Societies, and have shown their abilities on several occasions. In athletics the class has won a record of which it may well l)e proud. Last spring we were w ' cll represented on the base-l)all nine, as also we expect to be this spring. The basket-ball team of this year was composed almost en- tirely of Middlers. In a series of five games of basket-])all with the Seniors, 1913 came off undisputed victors, winning four of tiie five games. In three games of foot-ball played with the Seniors we were not so fortunate, how- e -er, losing two of the games by a narrow margin. But it would be doing the girls an injustice if we should imph- tliat our success in athletics is limited to the boys, for the girls ha ' e done some exce] tionally good work in athletics, also, and they are always ready to give their heartiest support whenever it is needed, especially when the combatants appear on roller skates or in masquerade. The second ]:)eriod of the history of the class of 1913 began September 13, ii;ii. At that time a meeting was held to elect officers to serve during the Aliddle Year, the following being the result: President, Elmer Mantz; Vice- President, Edmund Pechin ; Secretary, Lucy Howe; Treasurer, Rachel Moyer. In this brief space we have shown the most important events of our career which have carried us thus far towards our goal Our class as yet is young, and its history will grow as the years pass, its greatest record remaining un- written until some future time, when we have w(Mi the ' ictorv for which we are striving. We shall ever press onward with determination, always keeping liefore us as a guide to lead ns through all difficulties the words of our motto, Courage, Truth and Right. R. T. Zebley. 108 109 flQcovc Xitcvar ? Society J Ox September 4, 191 1, there arrived at the West Chester State Xoriiial Schoid the acti -e members (if the Moore Literary Society. They were prepared aii l cai er for work, and consequently started a year which ended in glorious success for the loores. October _M, 191 1, was tile date fixed for tlie Moore Anniversary. On tliat day friends and memliers of the Society were entertained by Leland Powers in Im- personations from I)a id Copperfield. Mr. Powers is one of the foremost im- personators in America, ami his interpretation nf l)a id ro])perheld was highly en- joyed by all wild heard him. The wiirk of the Moore g ' irls has this -ear been especiallv wnrdn- of note. He- sides recitations, essays, readings and nnisical selections, which tliey ha ' e ])resented in an unri alled manner, tliev ha e entertained the loores and their friends at the several special meeting ' s of the Society by ' ery well rendered plays. Every year contest debates are held for the pur]K)se of selecting a team to de- bate w ith tile l.iick I la en Normal Sch(  il. The bo s this -ear ha ' e taken special in- terest in the cijutest debates. All (jueslious discussed were li e, and most of them political (|Uestions of the day. We ha e chosen a team of ilebaters which we hope will ])ro e a credit to the school, as well as to the Society. The subjcet to be discussed this -ear is: Rcsoli ' ril. ' jdia ' . the ' Initiative ' and ' Referendum ' should be made a part of the legislative system of l ' enus l ania. no Tlie Mdorc Snciclv conlinues to gruw. anil eacli year, as tlu ' iiuinlici- nt the 1 Mice active menil)ers of the Society, who lia e made tlieir mark in llie worlil. in- creases, so also the testimonials re.i;arclini;- the helj) Society training has given after graduation from this school, increase in numher. The success of the Moore So- ciety is due in a large measure to the way in which the Society treats its individual members. It has alwaxs been the aim of the Ab)ore Society to gi e eacii one of its members tile opportuuitv to dcNelo]) his or her mode of expression, so that they may become better fitted to I ' erlorm life ' s duties and difficulties; then indeed would they recognize the truth of the motto, To know is to rule. ' livery memlier of the Societvgoes out from this school glad he is a Moore, ami ready and willing at any time to lend a hand to a fellow Moore, or to speak a good word for his Society and of the good it has done for him, so that as the years ])ass by, they may gladly gaze back and sa_ ' . To know is to rule. riDoovc Xitcvai ! Socict ©fRccvs J- FIRST TERM President . Clarence Gill I ' icc-Prcsidcnt — John H. Tyson Rcc. Secretary — E. Bl. nciie Ridv Cor.

Onr first efforts were realized when we presented onr initial meetint;-. Many new members were taken in. This meeting was followed by many of the literary and mnsical t ' pe. The ' Inter-class Meeting at the opening of the winter term aronsed class spirit, so much needed. This was followed 1) ' the Mark Twain Meeting in the spring term, commemorating the life and wurk of Mark Twain. . ryan Reunion brought back many graduates and lormer students, and re- i efl fond memories of davs gone by. The Ben Greet players rendered most en- tertainingh ' The Comedy of Errors. The l oys ' and Girls ' Oratorical Contests, which are o|)en to every member of the Society, prove to be an e.xcellent tr.aining in oratorical lines. Alore students should enter these contests and obtain the alnable l)enelits that may be deri ed troni them. What is learned and gotten thrfiugh the -Society can ne er be forgotten. We get out t)f Society in j rojiortion to what we put into it. There are ojjportunities presented that no one can offord to let slip by.

Dr. Green was the first editor, and has e ' er since helped to make the paper a success. The A millet has imprii ed each year, and this one has been no exception, lor under the leadership of the Editor and Business Manat er, and with the coopera- tion of the assistants, some ' ery creditable numbers ha e been imblished.

Not onl - is this paper interesting to the acti ' e members of the scIiocjI through the School Notes, but tlie .Mumni De]iartment makes it of great interest to ail who have graduated. One can hardly pick up a copy of The Amulet without finding- mention made of one ' s own classmates or of those with whom one went to school.

()ccasionall - joint meetings are held with the N ' oung Men ' s Christian .Vssociation, giving hoth . sso- ciations an opportunity to hear some of the most ])rominent Christian workers . We ha e been favored in having the New Century Lhih of West Chester to visit one of our meetings, at which Mrs. Edward W. lliddle, of Carlisle, sjiokc on Civic Betterment. Among others who have helped kee]) us in touch w ith t he doings of the world are Miss Baker, the Student Secretary, Miss ( )dgen, who was a missionar - to Cliina. Mrs. Day, (_)f T}Tone, and Miss Taft, who is investigating religious ])roh- lems in religious communities. We were well represented at the Summer Conference, held at Silver iSay, on Lake George, New York. Those attending as delegates were: Mrs. F. H. Starkey, Misses Lucy Kenworthy, Minnie . rmstrong, . nita Johnson, I ' auline Heistand, and . lice Steward. Tiie funds used in sending delegates were secured largel - from a fair, known as The Country h ' air, held in the halls of the main huilding. The business of the Association is transacted in the monthly cabinet meeting, which consists of the officers of the Association, together with the chairman and secretaries of the various committees. These committees for the present year are. Committees on Membeiship, Missionarv drk, Bible Studv, Religious Meeting, and Systematic (ii ing for Missions. Our membership for tiiis year is three hundred forty-two girls. This is much larger than at any other time in the history of the .Association. The Missionarv Department has lieen especiallv interesting this year, and a very large class was enrolled for Mission Stud ' , led by Mrs. F. H. Starkey. I hree Mission Reading Circles were led by various members of the missionary commit- tee. The Social Committee is a very active part of our . ssociation, serving in en- tertainment at social teas and cheering the hungry with sandw iches at nine fifty- five in the evening. We realize, with our other work, that the study of the Bible is an important ])art. l ' or this pur])ose we have five I )il le classes and live l ible Circles. It is the aim of our ' oung Women ' s Christian . ssociation to help the girls in their Christian life. This 1 am sure has been carried out in the past, and we hope that with the strength and blessing of the Lord it may continue through its history. A. P. S. 123 11). m. c. H. LAST fall we left the cikl Y. M. C. A. room, with its fond and endearing memories, and entered into the work in our new room for another year. With our ahle and energetic leader. Dr. Green, again with us, things began til nio e with dM-time zeal and interest. The room, incompleted at the Iteginning of the vear, was finished, however, in a few weeks, and the boys, who had greatly missed the meetings, were then given an o])i)ortunity to attend. They responded, and the general good attendance showed th.eir interest in the work. We were fortunate in getting -ery ahle and excellent speakers for our meet- ings. Many of the students lia e no doubt received deep ini]iressions from what was said h these sjieakers. The special musical numbers rendered b - the students during the year were gTeatly appreciated by all. The avera.ge attendance was eodtl and the Ix ys are to be commended, especialb ' for their ])resence at the s])ring nieelings, when e ' er_ -tbing outside seemeil to tempt and beckon them away from the V. AI. C. . . room. We wish as closing words to thank all speakers and others who ha e so earn- estly labored for th.e good of the Y. W. C. A., the results of which, if not at pres- ent, will no doubt later be plainly realized. V. N. J. J- J- 1 . . C. a. ©fficevs Prcsiilciil Dk. Fk. xcis H. Greex ' icr-Prrsiilciif ' ernon X.

There is much of talk and chatter, There is ample noise and clatter, As they onwanl stroll unt ' the setting sun. Groups of maidens walk together, Pretty heads in gossip pressed ; Sure, they look like posies blooming by the way! But their talk is wise, sagacious, Thoi.gh undoubtedly vivacious, We are sure ' tis verbs and angles hold full sway. But the youths are more exclusive, Standing coyly near the curb, Antl the con ' erse they indulge in is profound; . h! they look like very heroes, . s thcv fuss aljout th r zeroes. And never, never cast a glance around. So these coming nation builders. Find that life is one deep song — • On]} ' wisdom and sage learning are v. ' orth while.

The test g ' ames of competence started to i)lay. We went to task with all vigor and iui, And as oft ' as permitted, repaired to the gvin. But after the work of a few weeks or more. Our team stood selected, — tried out on the iloor. In sizes we range from quite small, then on up To quite a fine height, ail very good stuff! The forward just looks at the basket and ball. And then in the midst of a yell and a call. From every young throat growing hoarse in the game. She plots to assemble about her more fame ; And then, with encouraging words from her men — Pop! goes the ])all in the basket again! And then with a leaj) and a run and a tussle. The guard is engaged in a play of the muscle. The struggle ceases, it can but be brief. And weary, we stop for a second ' s relief. Then it ' s up to centers to start the ball rolling. And back to our ])laces we (|uietlv come strolling. But cheered I)y our classmates, who are in for the fun. We play out the game, till at last it is won! And though every man on our team is quite plucky. It sometime.; turned out that we were unlucky! For the girls we opposed on that dear old gym Iloor, Had a good team, too, you can see by the score ! But all of the buffets and bouts in a run Only add more to the jolly good fun.

His wife joins him, and between them they revi.se the program, 143 and tlie title of the play is changed to The Knight of the Burning Pestle, wherein their apprentice, Ralph, is gixen the leading part. The original play is constantly interrupted h the aliant deeds of Ralph ( who is a re- production o f Don Quixote), as well as hy the comments of the grocer and his wife, in whose taste for the marx ' clcjus antl naive acceptance of stage illusion, the authors ]ia e caught something of the typical play-goers of every age. ®uv niMbMcv (3ala IDa 0. a happy day in June, as the larches were waving their fringed pin- ions in the sunshine, a notahle com])any of friends, kinsfolk, faculty, and classmates of 191 2 hegan to gather on the South Campus. Good tellowship pre ' aile(I, and expectanc ' was (|uickened as citizens of the days of Ring James conunenced to wander in, while llower and orange girls hartered their wares, and noisy apprentices strove for the best places; nobles and patrons of the drama kept the distracted stage boys on the jum]). As the nuisic ])lavetl, a crowd of 19 2 ' s children frolicked across the green, followed 1) ' sombre pedants, who in turn gax ' e ])lace to rollicking milkmaids and flitting folk ' from fairyland. Then a new note sounded, and o -er the heads of the s])ectators floated the Old Rose and Ulack, and the Shepherdess ( iuardians of ic;i2 ' s peerless colors came on, while all who swore allegiance to that banner broke into a peal of loyal applause in its honor. Anon at tlie sound of the trum]3et, which told the play was on, the I rologue stepped forth and uttered friendly welcome. The good wife from the pit took a hand in tb.e affair, and seconded bv her obedient spouse, urg-ed the claims of the gifted a])prentice, Ral])h, and then the sport beg ' an. We will not soon forget the pitiful case of the faithful lovers, nor how they outwitted the stern father and elderly rejected suitor. Nor will the fam- ily of Merrythoug ' ht even be aught bul a remembered jo ' , the care-free jo ' iaI master of the house, lean of ]:)iu ' se au ' l light of heart, who would have pro- voked a saint, let alone his anxiiius jiar ' tial dame with her ])etted boy. .Vnd above all, we prize the doug-hty Knig-ht of the thuMiing l estle, who with s(|uire and kna ' e cpiailed not before the dread giant, and ]n- his prowess proved his undying dexotion to his Susan of Milk Street. But, alas! History at times is unkind enough to repeat itself, and once ag-ain the rain clouds gathered over the Middlers festal da -. . gain the re- signed crowd thronged good-naturedly into the auditorium, and in spite of unusuall) ' limited (piarters, plavers and coffin, musicians, morris dancers, and auditors saw the 1912 play to its triumphant close. 144 Xcctuvc Course ■■I..IIH)R I ' MOXSr John Mitchell.

Redfield is represented bv two strong and interesting W inter landscapes; Baltimore bv most excellent work from the studios of Camelia Whitehurst, the painter of children, and Alary Kremelberg, whose painting of Istar is, from the stand])oint of color, a charming and strong ])iece of brush work.

T ley laughed and they shouted and whistle. I And made such a terrible din. That the Teachers who went along with them Just naturally had to join in. And if the Juniors and Middlers Had by chance been there to see. They would surely cease to worship Our Senior Dig-ni-ty! But the winds were cold, and the Seniors. In spite of the wraps they wore. Were chilled. When lo! before them Loomed a Malvern bakery store, rhou soon some splendid coffee. And cocoa, and cake, and buns. Diffused a pleasant feeling In our hungry, frozen ones. Once again they started, when merry! Up popped a new surprise! There stood their old frinnd Teamer, Right full before their eyes. They seated him down among t ' lem Iq their fullest, merriest sleigh. And he helped them laugh and chatter All along the homeward way. Fifty cents? Yes, that ' s what it cost them, But who could ever tell Of all the fun and pleasure That on that morn befell? They all agreed that never Was money better spent, And the Nineteen-Twelve Seniors Are mighty glad they went. 1 48 i4 ' ) The.

To this the lads and lasses came crowding )y the scores, Until the number g rew too large to be held in Normal ' s doors. The Trustees held a meeting- to see what could be done. The school was growing larger, the buildings were o ' errun. Pro and con it was discussed, and con and ])ro again. By this body of Trustees, these very learned men. Since Normal boys are jolly and make a little noise. They thought it ' ery wise to make a dorm just for the boys. For this a site was chosen, most renowned in war. So that Profs. as guards might stand where guards had stood before. The building was erected within th.e course of time; The Senior occupants I will name in just a few more lines. The Seniors in Wayne Hall just numlier thirty-four. And they are far more studious than boys e ' er were Ijefore. But when it comes to having sport, we ' re right there every time, Or if there ' s anything to eat. Gill, Hertz and Furst do shine. And if there ' s any fun or noise it ' s Witmer, Ulsh, O ' Neal; The traits of all the rest you ' ll see as further turns the wheel. When it comes to real good sports, the kind von always like, You have Lynch and Kelly every time to go for a country hike; There ' s Bustin, he ' s a funny guy, and seldom wears a frown. And Burge would be a lunatic if Nace didn ' t hold him down. Or do you know the latest joke? Don ' t be behind the time — Just call on Hertz or Sypherd, Patterson or Bodine. And if you want the ladies ' men, we ' ll hand them out to you. For we have Hannuni, Harding, Hellings and Paul Kocher, too; But when it comes to bashful boys, while we ' re along the line, W e will give you Jones and Parry, Kulp and .Ammon Nein. i68 .Mitclu ' U.

And the faculty of the West Chester State Normal College, includ- ing Katie and the .Matron, shall recognize the independence of such i)ers3ns and shall never furnish them with another meal for maintenance, excepting on tiie following condition, to-wit : — Payment of Twenty-five (25) Cents That the President will on the aforesaid day, somehow, designate such persons, if any, who are conditioned, either Ijy the State Board or College Faculty, as unfit for freedom, unless such persons by undue cranuning have redeemed their low standing bv a high mark in a take o cr. In which case the President shall by virtue of his power emancipate all members of the Class of 1912. Now, therefore, 1, Abraham Lincoln Himmelberger, Tresident of the West Chester State Normal College. l)v irtu ' - ' of the power in -ested by the Board of Trustees in time of actual study, in accordance with the authority of text- books, shall, as a fit and necessarv means of getting rid of the studious Seniors, on the eighteenth day of June, one thousand nine hundreil ;ind tweU ' e, in ac- cordance with my ])ur])ose, designate those persons who shall be presented with diplomas and be forever free from the following, to wit: — ' irgil, Trigonon.ietry, Solid Geometry (excepting Propositions NNXl and NV, Book VII), Cicero (including three orations). Phy- sics, all of Geology and many other burdens too numerous to mention. And by irtue of the Normal Colle.ge and for the aforsaid reasons, I do declare that all Seniors hampered by rules of any kind shall be henceforth and forever free from all such regulations and shall be permitted to do in the future as they may seem fit and may. if necessary, take walks in the country or go to dances at Lenajjc. to convince themselves of their freedom. And 1 do herebv entreat all freed persons to abstain from strong drink, unless foi- sclf-enjo ' ment, and I ask tlieni all to teach school for a reastinalil ' s.nlary. And I further declare and make known that all persons who have the opjiortunity may teach in th;it little country school house seventeen miles from a railroad, if thev so desire. And on this Act. which I sincerely believe to be an Act of Necessity, forced upon me b the brilliancy of the Seniors, I invoke the considerate judgment of the students and the gracious favor of the Ahnighty Faculty.
