The stock which served under Cromwell and put an end to kinglv misrule in England by cutting off the head of the king, was the same stock that joined the Puritan migration to this country. It is from this Roundhead blood that there came into Connecticut, out of Xorfolkshire, in England, the Burnham ancestors of tiie subject of this sketch. Settling first in Connecticut, the stream worked its way into central and western New York and still pressed for- ward until the early forties found the father of Smith Burnham located in southern lichigan as one of the pioneer set- tlers. Into this same neighborhood came Margaret Smith, of a strain of sturdy Germans who had settled the Mohawk Valley in New York. From this vigorous Palatinate German line, grafted onto the English Roundhead has sprung the subject of this sketch. Smith Burnham. professor of history in the West Chester State Normal School, was born and reared in contact with Mother Earth, with nothing of luxurv to pamper, nothing of pri -ation to weaken, with just enough rigor of coun- try life in the seventies to bring self-reliance and vigor of frame and miml. Smith Burnham was Ijorn near Battle Creek, Michigan, on August 20, i S66. To no operation known on the ordinary farm was Smith Burnham a stranger. The chores which fell to the lot of a boy of his time were his ; the rustic pleasures, we may be sure, were his, too. Educated in the district school until he was sixteen vears old, he found in his high school course the first great stimulus which led him on to scholar.ship. In tliose days, high schools were few, and were unlinarilv taught by men who in scholarshiji and in serious devotion to their calling, ipiite equalled the clergy. In the little town of Vicksburg, with a po|nilation of less thpn a thousand, such a teacher gathered about him a group of one hundred and twenty-five girls and boys, brought in from all the countrv round about. Snu ' th Burnham had known and associated with vigorous-minded, straight-thinking men. but they had been men whose education, from the scholastic standpoint, had been restricted. Here was a man who firi? ' ! him with, ambition. Within two years Smith Burnham was an assistant in the high school, and two years later found him at Albion College. It must always be a question whether the small or the large college offers the greatest advantages to an earnest young man. If the young man who comes of .scholarly surroundings has in him the impulses and needs only the facil- I9I4 SERPENTINE Page 5 SNAP-SHOTS OF PROF. BURNHAM Page 6 SERPENTINE 1914 ities, the great university must always offer him the more im|iortant field. To a boy whose scholastic lite has been re- stricted, the intimate contact that the professor in the small college has with his pupils tar more than counterbalances the defects of the narrower equipment. In such a situation, young Burnham now found himself. The strongest person- ality with which he came in contact was with a teacher of history, and not unnaturally the bent (if Burnham ' s mind was distinctly set in the lines of history and constitutional development. The family resources were not sufficient to make young Burnham ' s ccnn-se an easy one, and he was obliged to inter- mit his studies for a while and teach in the high school. This prox ' ed more of an advantage than a disadvantage, for it gave him time to think over what he was learning, and find out his deficiencies. When he returns to Albion to finish his course, he is ready to do such work as he had never done before. Those of us who delight in the way Prof. Burnhain throws himself into the athletic life of the school will have lit- tle difficult}- in understanding that in liis own college days he was an enthusiastic athlete. Twice only has the foot-ball team of the University of Michigan been defeated by one from the same State. In 1891, Albion gave Michigan the first of her defeats. Of that team Smitli Burnham was captain, coach, and star quarter-back. When the victors came home that night, the whole student l)odv met them with a hay wagon and a l)and, and escorted them to the campus, where a great bonfire was kindled. By the glow of the fire. Captain Burnham told his fellow-students Hmv it had been done. That defeat remained the only defeat by a State team for the University of Michigan up to the fall of 1913. In 1892 he graduated from his college, and was immediately oft ' ered the position of assistant in history. .Shortly thereafter he took his own first and present chief assistant in the person of Ella L. Caster, his clas.smate, to whom he was married in August, 1893. Young Burnham was now ready for the facilities of a great university, and he made for himself the opportunity for advanced study, first at Harvard, and later at Chicago University. P rom here he went l)ack to .■ lbion to take the place of their professor of history, who had gone to Michigan University. M Albion he remained a full professor of history until West Chester summoned him in 98. At West Chester Professor Burnham followed a series of teachers of history who had given that department high standing in this institution. But, high as was the standing of his department, it at once started to grow until it reached its present commanding position. To the teacher of history there is one source of culture beside which all others pale. This lies in actual, intelligent contact with the board on which the game of history- has liecn played. Impelled by this conviction, Professor Burnham prepared himself, first of all, by studying and planning so as to have his mind in thorough readiness to absorb all that is best worth while. Then he obtained a year ' s leave of absence and spent it in European travel and study. 1914 SERPENTIN E Page 7 England, France, Cierniany, Switzerland.

To one so sensitive to the past of man, the finest flower of his development, painting, sculpture, architecture, ap- pealed in strongest fashion. To his deiiartment in the school. Professor Burnhani brought back the triple treasure of a well-stored mind, an enlarged library of history and art, and a set of tilms that still develops into lantern slides which enrich and clarify his teaching. The great teacher is never quite satisfied that his debt to society is paiil until he has put the best of himself into a book. This crown has been added to Professor Burnham ' s work. It is most natural that one possessed of his civic ideals should feel impelled to stimulate PennsyUania boys and girls to a deeper love for, and admiration of, their own State. Professor Burnham ' s History of Pennsylvania is full of vivid, clear, gripping pictures of the glory of the Keystone State. Many a future citizen will owe his first and real appreciatinu nf the greatness of his State tu this convincing book. Of all the cpialities that make Professor Burnhani a successful teacher of history, it is here almost su|)erfluous to speak. The life of a people grows out of the stock from which it descends and the surroundings in which it is placed. History with Professor Burriham is no chrouDlogical table of events. It is a coordinated whole, linked to the soil from v hich it sprung, and fm-nishing in each period the seeds which are to sprout into later activity, h ' illed as he is with an intense admiration for Iniman strength and endeavor, the dramatic li -es of the leaders of history are always intensely at- tractive to Professor Burnhani, and he makes the great characters of the past live before his classes. He holds his history to the earth by constantly teaching from the map, to show the conditions under which human activity has worked itself out. A teacher may bless his pui)ils from three entirely different directions. In the first jilace he may be a fountain of in- formation, a reservoir of knowledge from which his students may drink their fill, . gain, he may himself be so eager and delighted a student that he infects his pupils with a longing for, and is to them a stimulus to, the actpiisition of sch(jl- arship for themselves. Lastly, and most important of all, he may be a man of such commanding integrity of life, such earnest uprightness of purpose, such vigorous reaction with the trend of life around him. that he is to his pupils a con- stant example of, and unending stimulus to, nobility of life and earnestness of citizenship. It is hard to tell in which of these directions Professor Burnhanrs influence is strongest. His acquaintance with history seems to be unemling; his ability to stimulate his pupils to thoughtful study is remarkable. But. after all, his strongest trait is undoubtedly the wholesome power of his vigorous manhood. The courage of his si)irit, the reverence of his mind, and his devotion to the service of his fellows, make him the fit guide of growing youth. The absolute sanity and the unremitting helpfulness of Professor Burnham ' s life are amongst the most -aluable and valued influences with which the young people who are growing into manhood and womanhood at West Chester come in contact.

With humble patient steps have we climbed the rugged sides of the mountain, and now with anxious hearts we send this little book upon its way. A fore- word to those about to pass from Normal School life, and to our friends : We wish this book to portray something of our real lives among ' each other, and upon future reference to recall the pleasant and humorous reminiscences of 1914. This volume, however, is just what we have made it; it has been the product of many minds and hands, for ere it reached ciimpletion. the artistic hand of some, the quick, alert brain of others, and the general interest of all were interwoven to fashion it into an expression of that all-prevailing love for our school, faculty and classmates.

Prior to that year the school at West Ches- ter, like all the other Normal Schools in Pennsyh ania, had been a private institution, recognized and aided l y the State. But West Chester was destined to be the first real State Normal School in the Keystone State. December 30, 1913, witnessed the transfer of the ownership and control of the school to the Commonwealth. Nineteen hundred and fourteen marks the dawn of a new era in the history of the training of teachers in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has thirteen training-schools for teachers. Some of these schools grew out of earlier academies; others originated in the generous action of the communities in which they are located; all of them were made possible by the subscriptions of public-spirited citizens. The West Chester Normal School belongs to the first group. It is the .successor of the West Chester Academy, which was founded in 1812, and had a long and honorable record as an in- stitution of learning. In 1869, the trustees of the old Academy decided to sell its property and to devote the proceeds to the building of a Normal School. With the twenty-nine thousand dollars realized from this sale, forty-two thousand more from the subscriptions of generous citizens, fifteen thousand from the State, and a loan of twenty thousand, the new Normal School purchased a tract of land in the southern part of the liorough of West Chester, erected its first building, and opened its doors in 1871. bVoni its beginning the West Chester Normal School has l)een exceptionally fortunate in the sagacity and devotion of the members of its Board of Trustees. The first president of this board was the Rev. William E. Moore, and its first secretary was Captain Robert T. Cornwell, who served the school as trustee with exceptional efliciencv for many years. It is peculiarly appropriate that to Captain Cornwell should fall the honor of being elected first president of the Board of Trustees appointed by the State in 1914, when the school was reorganized as a State institution. In the long list of prominent citizens of West Chester who have served on the Board of Trustees since the founding of the school, special mention may be made of Wilmer Worthington, M.D., W ' illiam B. Waddell. Joseph J. Lewis, Robert E. Mona- ghan, .Addison Alay. Alfred P. Reid, Evans Rogers, J- Preston Thomas, and |ohn T. Pinkerton. 1914 SERPENTINE Page 13 RECITATION HALL Page 14 SERPENTINE 1914 Under the wise management of its trustees and its principals, the property of the school has grown steadily with the years. In i88g. the original lot was enlarged by the purchase of four acres of land lying just north of it, and two years later the old athletic ground, now the skating pond, was bought. In 1895, the fine grounds of the Chester County .Agri- cultural Society, nowbetter know as Wayne iMeld. were ac(|uire(l. The school now has a splendid campus of forty-eight acres. The original building was (jnlarged liy the addition of a north wing in 1S78, and a soatli wing in i;?82. Then, in 1S87. the dining-room, chapel and sanitary towers were completed. The gymnasium came ne.xt. in 1890. The principal ' s resi- dence and the infirmary were occupied for the first time in 1892. and the same year the comer stone of Recitation Hall was laid. The Model School Bjilding followed in 1899, the library in 1903. the ])ower house and laundry in 1905, while Wayne Hall, the addition to the dining-room, with the anne.x above it. and the household building, with its kitchen, bakery and store rooms were all first used in 1911. The present grounds and buildings have cost over $900,000, and constitute one of the best Normal School plants in the United States. b:zelkiel H. Cook, a native of Maine, and a graduate of Bowdoin College, was the fir.st principal of the West Chester Normal School. He remained only one year. The second principal. Dr. William A. Chandler, served a winter term only. In 1873 George L. Maris was chosen principal. He is a native of Chester county, a graduate of the University of Michi- gan, and before his election to the principalship. had been Superintendent of Public Schools of Chester County. Principal Maris served eight years. During his administration the school made many improvements, and entered upon the steady growth which has characterized it ever since Dr. Maris resigned to accept a professorship in Swarthmore College. The present principal. George Morris Philips, was called to the head of the .school in 1881. Born in Atglen. Ches- ter county, in 185 1. graduated frum Bucknell University in 1871. Dr. Philips was professor of mathematics in Monon- gahela College. 1871-1873. in the West Chester State Normal School. 1873-1878. and in Bucknell University. 1878-1881. Ir 1877 he married Elizabeth . . Pyle, a teacher in the Normal School The marvelous growth of the school during the last third of a century has been due to Inany causes, but the most potent of them all has been the broad vision, the wis- dom in administration, the in.spiring leader.ship, and the untiring toil of Dr. Philips. No other Normal School principal ill the United States has had so many years of consecutive service, and no ])rincipal anywhere is his superior in adminis- tiative etficiencv. The school opened in 187 1 with eleven teachers. Its faculty now numbers more than forty members. The scholar- ship and teaching power of its faculty, past and present, have contributed largely to the school ' s growth and usefulness. It had a great teacher in mathematics, and a scholarly chemist and physicist in C. B. Cochran. Especially noteworthy is the large number of teachers who have gone from the West Chester Normal School to the princip alships of other Nor- mal Schools in l -nnsvlvania. . mong these. Professor Judson P. W ' elch went to Bloomsburg; Professor J. R. Flickinger 1914 SERPENTINE Page 15 LIBRARY Page 16 S ERPENTINE 1914 went to Edinboro, and later to Lock Haven: Professor Andrew Thomas Smith went tu Manstield, and recently to Clarion; and Professor J. George Becht went to Clarion. Recently. Professor Charles A. Wagner left to become the first Com- missioner of Education of the State of Delaware. In Professors F. H. Green and S. C. Schnuicker, the schnol now has two teachers of national reputation as lecturers. The West Chester Normal School has always had an earnest, faithful and ever-growing student body, drawn from all parts of Pennsylvania, and from neighboring States. During its first year it was attended by 170 students, 57 young women and 112 young men. It was not until 1884 that the women nutnumbered the men. In that year the numbers were J45 and 225 respectively. Since 1890 the proportion of women has been steadily increasing. In 1913, when the school had the largest attendance in its history, of its 1103 students. 902 were women and 201 were men. Prior to 1903 the regular course of study required two years for its completion. That year the first class was gradu- ated from a three-years ' course, and in 1913 a new four-years course went into elTect. Graduates of first grade high .schools are admitted to the third year of this new course. The number (if graduato of such high schools who come to the West Chester State Normal School is growing year by year. Everv effort has been made to keep the equipment of the school up to date. It is provided with physical, chemical, biological and agricultural lal)oratories. a shop for manual training, a domestic science k itchen, and work rooms, a school garden, museum, art gallery, and a well selected library of over 16.000 volumes. In 1877. one of the first Summer Schools in the country was held at the Normal School in West Chester, but it was soon discontinued. In 191 1 the Summer School was re-established, and it has received increasing patronage each year since that time. All of the varied activities of school life were early established, and have had a healthy growth at West Chester. The Moore Literary Societv was organized only four days after the opening of the school. The Aryan Society followed in 1879, and these two societies have flourished in friendly rivalry ever since. For years it was the custom on the anniver- saries of these societies to publi.sh The Moore Literary Gazette and Tlie Aryan Reviezv. Later these papers were merged into a monthly priodical. The Amulet, the first number of which appeared in February, 1892. The Young Men ' s Christian Association was formed in 1890. Professor Green, its first and only president, has guided and inspired its work from the beginning. The Young Women ' s Christian Association promptly followed in 189 1. Its members have reason to re- member with appreciation the efficient services of its two latest presidents. Miss Sara S. Kirk and Mrs. F. H. Starkey. Outdoor sports have been features of the school for many years, but the present Athletic Association dates from 1895. The school lecture course, which has been maintained for many years, has been one of singular excellence. Neither effort nor money has been spared to bring to the school every prominent person in public life who ever lectures. Students at West Chester have had the opportunity to see and hear such statesmen as Roosevelt. Taft, ' ilson. Fairbanks. Clark. Cannon. Curtin and MacVeagh ; such men of letters as Howells. Cable. VanDyke, Garland. Eggleston. Markham and Fur- 1914 . SERPENTINE Page 17 ness: such college presidents as Smith, Angell, Hadley, Garfielil Scluiniian, ami Alderman; such musicians as Homer, Bispham, Hoffman, Samaroff, and the Knerset Quartet; and such eminent Americans as General John B. Gorman, Ed- ward Everett Hale, Julia Ward Howe, Frances E. Willard, Jacob Riis, Henry George, Lyman Abbott and Booker T. Washington. The Pennsyhania School Code of 191 1 authorized the State Board of Education to purchase any State Normal School whose stockholders are desirous of selling it to the Commonwealth. L ' nder the terms of this law, tlie State Board of Education lx ught the West Chester Normal School in 1913. The law provides that in case of such purchase, the new State institution shall Lie managed by a l oard of nine trustees appointed by the State Board of Education. Early in 1914 that Board named the following trustees for the reorganized West Chester State Normal Schodl : Joseph T. Roth- rock, Robert T. Cornwell, John V. Craven, Samuel Marshall, Hugh B. Eastburn, Arthur T. Parke, George Henderson, Frank B. Wonsettler, and Harry D. Saylor. Under the management of the wise and public-spirited Board of Trustees, and w-ith Principal Philips still in the fullness of his powers, in charge of its administration, the West Chester State Nor- mal School is entering upon a new era of even greater success and usefulness as a State institution.

On the contrary, anyone in her neighborhood can feel the vibrant atmosphere, the tenseness of the situ- ation. Things happen. Mabel came here from the Pottstown High School and entered Third Year. To the won- derment of everyone she talked about the number of vacant periods in her program instead of recitations. She in some peculiar way was ex- empt from the last named incum- brance.

Again, you may see her with those sweet, far-away looks which imply only one thing. These are only a few of the many expressions which you find on her face, but they are suf- ficient for you to understand that it would be impossible for any one to tell anything definite about her.

Aye, Katrina is one of the jolly girls of our class; full of fun, pos- sessed of Irish wit, a great fondness for arguing and cramiuing for exams.

She tries to give one the impres- sion that she dislikes the boys, but her tablematcs wonder where the mail (male) comes from.

As athlete he has gallantly kept the bench warm for the Marshall Souare .Athletic Association. As comedian he daily delights the occupants of Room loi in Wavne Hall, where he is a welcome visitor. He also acted as end man for the Marshall Square Minstrels, and kept the natives roaring with his jok es. Moore Agnes C. Christ Tamaqua, Pa. XcTer trouble trouble until trouble troubles xou.

She rarely studies, but in her classes she ranks among the liighest and especial- ly in Virgil. .Although she claims she is going to teach, it is extremely doubtful, due to the admiration of her male friends.

Irene is very stu- dious, but it is feared she is too tight- ly fastened to lines leading to Mid- dletown or Elizabethtown for her ever to teach school very long. One glance at the number of letters she gets from these places should confirm this. Moore Florence M. Cole Allentown, Pa. Our aim is haf ' iness. Floss has completed the Normal course, and is about to enter upon her teaching career. She is one of that delightful bevy of girls from the already well-known city of , llentown. She is a jolly, light-hearted girl, and whenever vou meet her a smile will greet you. Her friends are kept guessing just how seriously she takes life, for very often she can be heard singing, I need sympathy. If Flos- sie ' s success in life is at all commen- surate w ' th her dreams of what she shall accomplish, she will be a prodigy in the teaching profession. Her aver- sion to Latin and similar subi c ' s is very marked: in fact, she gives them verv little attention. Moore Mildred C. Coleman Carbondale, Pa.

Ann Cope is the last representa- tive of the Cooe family, many mem- bers of which have called West Ches- ter Normal Alma Mater. She was born and reared in the country, near Mt. Bradford. Here she learned to love all that is beautiful in nature. Nothing gave her more pleasure than to cantor over the beautiful Chester countv hills on the back of her horse, or take long walks alone the historic Brandywine. Whether riding, walking or canoeins-, she assimilated much of the hallowed snirit of her county, hal- lowed by the heroic deeds which the inspired sons of Chester county have bequeathed to us in verse and prose.

She is a very good student in all her studies, but most especially in physics, which it is her greatest delight to study. She travels back and forth from Wayne every day, and in this extensive traveling, ma kes a very pleasing companion.

She was very lond of her practice teach- ing, and, from reports, made a success of it. We believe slie will make a very good teacher when she comes in possession of a schoolroom of her own. She does not, however, spend all her time on lessons, but gives up, occasionally, a little time for pleas- ure, for like all girls, in order to enjoy life, she must have some fun. Moore Mary E.

And yet in his unassuming man- ners he assumes almost everything, and we have been convinced by trial that his assumptions are not far from the truth. In a mock trial at the Nor- mal School his language became force- ful and eloquent, and cvt-n his German No was forgotten.

To us Louise stands for all that is fine and true, good and womanly. Every task, however unimportant, she executes with a splendid spirit of conscientious duty.

This little girl is always jolly and full of fun — a favorite witii all who know- her. A first glance at her gives one the impression of solemn inno- cence, but a second reveals the spirit of mischief lurking behind the big brown eyes. She is a graduate of Hatboro Hi.gh School, and has been very faithful in her studies here, being particularly Ernest in her work in domestic science. We wonder why?

But how can she help being .stately, when she cimes from that aristocratic city of Newport, Rhode Island? There she received three years of her high school education, and finished in the William Penn High School. Philadelphia. We feel very prcud of Julia, because she is such a good Greek and Latin stu- dent: in fact, she is the only student of the school who has passed Greek examinations. Besides being capable in classical subjects, she also excels Member Ed. in domestic science. Ass ' n, Aryan Mildred E. Johnson Scranton, Pa. Thcx that i ovcni make the least noise.

Her kindly disposition, coupled with her strong fellow feeling for all, give her the ponularitv that is never lacking. Once her friend always her friend , is the verdict of all who know her.

Altho of the same name as the lamous blind girl, our Helen can use her eyes to the best advantage. She is earnest and faithful in all that she does, taking for her motto; When a task is once bjgun, Never leave it till it ' s done. Her favorite study is ethics, and she constantly endeavors to live up to the standard formed from her study. Helen is always calling Oh! dear, but we ai;e unable to find out whom she is calling.

She takes life humorously, and never fails to pass on a .good joke. i .nn has not quite given all her attention to teaching, but thinks that nursing is better suited to her than a school marm ' s life.

She is far from sober, having a mischievous eye, and is ever ready for a share in the fun. She is interested in the art and science of cooking and sewing, and sometimes becomes so engrossed that she doesn ' t even hear the bell for the ne.xt class.

But to do this it will prob- ably take the rest of the period, and we need have no fears of ever being called on. Mary is very studious, and altho we believe she will be a success in teaching, we do not think she will remain in this position very long, if our interpretation of her letters, which bring smiles and blushes, are true. Moore Catherine A. Kerwin. . .Shenandoah, Pa. It iiiiiY be .ui. — hut wliyf This is hazel-eyed Kitty, whose chief concern is keeping up with the mail she receives. She may be able to in- trospect herself, as was her reputation in psychology class, but somehow she cannot tell us why she continually uses her hands while talking. She has gained quite a reputation for her abil- ity to read the unknown future of her friends by the aid of the tea cup. Alert and inquisitive, these are some of her virtues. It is a well established fact that Kitty will not long follow her ambition of teaching, and it is for this reason she is working so indus- triously in domestic science.

Helen, otherwise known as Kitty or one of the Twins, came to us in the fall of 19 12, a graduate of Spring City High School. Some class to her — and sometimes it ' s Drawing class. Nothing ever excites Kitty, and no matter how very much moved her friends become, she is always cool and calm. Her favorite pastnne, aside from studying(?) is having eats, while she puts other folks up to tricks. Her very special diseases are Virgil (?) and mathematics.

The explanation of her evident suc- cess is that she is such a sweet creat- ure that the teachers simply must j- ' ive her good grades. But, perhaps they sympathize with her, for her ease is hopeless. Elizabeth ' s heart has been captivated by a so-called cousin. That may account for her particular interest in domestic science.

It could hardly be said that she is fond of study- ing anythinii ' except grammar, and she is never haopier than when hav- ing an argument, and never can be convinced that she is on the losing side.

She is very much interested in athletics, basketball bein.g her favorite sport (at least last year). We wonder if the game was the only attraction?

Aryan Marian M. M athers Jenkintov n, Pa. Come, pciisi ' i ' e nun. devout and pure Sober, steadfast and demure. This very demure-looking young maiden from Jenkintown, Pa., came to us last year. At her high school she stood high in all her classes, and when she joined us, she kept up her former skill. Her luuks tell you she is very quiet, but — appearances are de- ceitful, for Marian is as fun-lovmg as you please. She is always ready to liave a good time, altho she never neglects her work, as is shown by her never failing to recite when call- ed upon in classes. Her favorite sport is tennis, and altho she says reading is her usual occupation, when you know her, you will agree that it is hiughing. Aryan Etnma E. Maury AUentown, Pa. Hau! sorroii.

Durins the sum- mer her usual occupation was auto- mobilin.g. and every day she could lie seen going along a lonesome country road. She says she will not be mar- ried, but her future seems very bright, as her winning personality wins for her many suitors from all over the world, and we expect her to live in Gerinanv or France after her gradu- ation. Moore Page 94 SERPENTINE 1914 Ralph E. Meckley , . .Elizabethtown, Pa. He never troubled liis repose wilh fruitless pray ins;. Ralph is one of the quiet chaps of our class, whose chief aim is to be a teacher of science. His love for that line of work gained for him the posi- tion of assisf nt in the iihysics labora- tory, where he may be seen ofif and on in the day, helping out his fellow- students. Ralph ' s great failing is lireaknig thru the ice., and well we re- member the day he went into the cold, cold waters, with a young lady at his side. Never mind, Ralph, those were happy days, and long will they be held in remembrance by vour fellow stu- dents. Moore L. Ruth Messick . .Bridgeville, Del.

Conscientious and industrious, a true friend and a wi lina helner is she. Could one desire more? Discontent and angry moods are foreign to her nature.

We see apt- ness for learning and alertness, in study hour, when we look at her. Op- posed to these aualities, Hannah is al- ways missing when some piece of man- ual work is to be done. She is fond of tennis and skating, but does not care for walkin.g, except to Birming- ham with the history classes.

She conies to us from the far-away town of Punxsutawney, and brings with her a spirit quite as unique as the name of her home town. Judging from the past and present, we are sure of her future success, and altho she may have to travel some Stony ways, her own happy and contented manner will carry her nn a path of roses.

Mary conies to us a graduate of the Spring City High School. She spent her childhood in the little red school- house by the wayside. She is very studious, but is seriously afflicted with the sleeo habit. Her favorite studies are agriculture and domestic science. She has not fully decided how long she will teach school, but some faint whisperings have been sounded that she is preparing the way for a Scientific Farmer. Aryan May Mulahey Shenandoah, Pa. Mae is just as sweet a girl as she looks. She comes from the little town of Shenandoah, wherever that is. She is a favorite of all her classmates, and always has a smile for every one, espe- cially when there is music or a dance.

O ' f this last she is most proud, for she bnastingiy declares that the Irish are the brightest, the prettiest and the best gn-is m the world. Her work here has thus far been a credit to her high school training, and we can just- ly feel proud to have such a girl with Aryan Margaret E. Nagle Allentown, Pa. Those eyes: deef ' wells of that and earnest hiiidiiess. From . llentown comes our behaved Peg, whose friendship is highly esteemed by her classmates and friends. Pc(g stars in gymnastic work, and the mere mention of danc- ing, swimming or basketball makes her an interested party. In lessons, too, she ranks very high. Her popu- larity with the opposite sex is ex- ceeded only by her good looks. Moore Mabel E. Nash Hooverton, Pa. Her zeavs arc ways of happiness, And all her paths are peace. Mabel is a shining example of the fact that one can be at once studious and jolly. Her lessons, she says, are a continual source of worriment; but she is a conscientious worker, and prompt in her habits — always among the first in the class-room. Her favor- ite sport is tennis, and she can often ' be found struggling with love or deuce out on the courts. After graduating, she of course expects to teach, and we can only wish as great success as a teacher, as when a student. Aryan igi4 SERPENTINE Page 99 C. Lloyd Neal Newtown Square, Pa.

Three years Neal has been with us, and if he has missed any scrape or rough house, sickness or absence was the cause. Moore Christine E. Neidig Halifax, Pa. Stars of the siiiiiiiicr sen. Here comes Christine, all the way from Halifa.x. She came to us in the fall of igi2, after having graduated from the Halifax High School. Her favorite studies are literature, French, and domestic science, tho she says she does not intend to practice the latter. She is a suffragette. She is very stu- dious, but sometimes we hear her say, O, let it go hang! In spite of this, however, we are confident we shall hear of her as one of Dauphin coun- ty ' s most successful teachers in the near future. Moore W f 1 1 3 liiii— iiiiiii r ■ 1 Marguerite A. Neff Slatington, Pa. Mirth is God ' s iiicilicinc. This is Peggy who dropped in among us two years ago, after gradu- ating from Slatington High School. Her greatest desire is to decrease her width and increase her height, which she hopes to do by indulging in her favorite occupation, sleeping. She is usually up to some mischief, but tiy wearing her innocent expression, al- ways on hand, can easily avoid sus- picion. Her favorite study is German, in which she is quite a shark. Mar- guerite ' s favorite sports are playing tennis and telling ghost stories after 10 o ' clock. Aryan Page lOO SERPENTINE 1914 Agnes M. Neville Scranton, Pa.

However, . ' Kgnes ' greatest fault is sleeping. She seldom hears the bells, but always manages to get to class just on time. Since she comes from the coal regions of Wilkes-Barrc and Scranton. we can pardon this. When . gnes is awake she is always ready for fun, and her lovable dispo- sition has won many friends during her Normal School course. We can hardly conceive of Agnes as a school marm, she seems so adapted to do- mestic affairs. Moore Marguerite Nutt West Chester, Pa. Music liatli cliurnis to soothe the sovai(e breast. Marguerite came to us in 1912, after graduating from the West Chester High School. She gives the impres- sion of being very tjuiet, but those who know her well, are aware that Marguerite has a good sense of Hu- mor. Her anoreciation for music is shown by the skillful manner in which she masters the violin. Aryan B. Lillian Oswald. . Punxsutawney, Pa. A spirit still, and brigitt With something of an angel liiilit, Lillian is (tne of the insei)arable two who come from Punxsutawney.

At Newtown Square High School he was chosen president of his class, and was graduated with valedictorian honors. He then came to school here as a day student, and has always done good work. His fa- vorite study, and the one he would like to teach, is mathematics. He was so bashful at first that he was afraid to look at a girl, but after he sat alongside of her in Cicero, he lost thit. and general opinion admits that he has become a fusser. Vice-PrCs.

She was valedictorian of her class in high school, and as her work here has been very good, we may ex- pect great things of her in the future. She travels back and forth from Ber- wyn each day, and always knows when the thru trains arc going t(j pass. Whenever there is a dance in Ber- wyn, Ethel is in great demand, on ac- count of her musical ability. Who ' s getting hurt now? Oh, it ' s only Ethel squealing. Some one has taken her gloves.

Marnie, with ail her solemnity, can appreciate a joke about is well as any one. She is very stiidious, and has kept up the record of the family. Passing her home near Sconnelltown on a sum- mer ' s afternoon, one might see her occupied in a game of tennis or cro- quet, or meet her driving a spirited colt.

Here is one of Schuylkill county ' s early risers, who came to us two years ago from the Hazletoii High School. Poor Olga studied so hard that she had little time for boarding- school life.

A ' tho Jane at times becomes quite concerned a ' bout her avoirdupois, and refuses to approach the scales, she is usually of a very calm temperament, and quite equal to any occasion, and we feel sure her success as a teacher will he as great as that of a student.

She takes intense interest in public speak- ing, with views, of course, to the fu- ture. She holds all male crcutures at the Normal School in high disdain, and loves to express her views on the subject. Ida is the second of her race to graduate here, and we expect great success from her. Aryan igi4 SERPENTINE Page 103 Lillian A. Phillips Laurel, Del. Silence li ' licii nothing need he said is the eloquence of discretioti. Lillian is one of the t|uict girls of our class, but not as (jiiiet as sf nie people think. Indeed, her room is often the scene of much frolickinj . When Lillian feels like working, her recitations are perfect, and the tcTch- ers are quite stunned by her brilliancy. but sorry to say. she doesn ' t ,t;et that feeling verv often. But. with it all. is she not lovely to behold? However, il is hard to tell what Lillian will do after graduation, but we are of the opinion that she will not long practice pedagogy. Aryan Ruth W.

Ruth is tall and dark-haired, and her bright smile and pleasant manner have won friends, not only here, but also at Williamson. She is a good student, and this, added to her high native ability, has won for lier high standing in her classes. She is especially fond of mathematics. Ruth is much interested in athletics, and has much school spirit, so she is always ready to cheer our team at the .game or the athletic meet. Moore Mildred G. Pickel Phoenixville, Pa.

This specialty is first of all, one of the Phoeni.Nville natives, and is well versed in the knowledge of what is going on in her home town. Thruout her entire stay in this school she has never been known to become angry even once, and what seems more i)icredible still, she has never in her life been known to have a case. Class pianist.

But we greatly fear that teaching will soon lose its charm for Hulda. and that when we next hear of her it will be as champion golf player, for she is very fond of that sport.

We often wonder if such forceful opinions were encouraged in that beloved Swarth- more.

Being the daughter of a farmer, she is a great lover of out-door sports, espe- cially horseback riding. She goes about her work very quietly, but with a will. Virgil is her favorite study, and in this she excels. Aryan Mary D. Rausch Allentown, Pa. Knowledge is Pon ' cr. Mary is a quiet little girl, whose only fear is that of breaking the rules. Very often you may hear her say, O ' hl girls, I am terrible, and you know that once again some calamity has befallen her. Mary ' s favorite pastime is studying, and she has a ' large store of knowledge, with some to spare. She is always ready to help those less gifted than herself, and of- ten you may hear girls say, Let ' s ask Mary, she will help us. With such an industrious perst)nality, we predict a bright and happy future for this demure little maiden. Moore Grace Rawlings Port Deposit, Md. Site has two eyes, so soft and broivn. Take care!

Her happy, unchanging disposition has won for her a host of true friends. If you need help or sympathy, Grace is always ready to give it. She has an unusually large quantity of affec- tion to divide among her many friends, but we notice that she always gives it out in slices. Moore Paf L ' io6 SERPENTINE 1914 H.

Probably her favorite Junior study was geosfraphy. In this the tracing of rivers was her specialty. She could trace the Hv.dstjn river from its s-ource to its mouth, and name each tributary. We know, altho she has dropped the subject this year, that she still has some faint recollections of the subject. Aryan Florice M. Rieger Reading. Pa. Evclids were mode to droof ' .

Something good to eat, a magazine and a bed, and Helen ' s joy is complete. She is particularly fond of raving about the moon, even sacri- ficing her cherished sleep to do so. But, with all this, Helen is a stu- dious, conscientious and sympathetic girl. Her work in the class-room re- veals her true nature — a sincere stu- dent. Moore Frieda J. Sechler Montgomery, Pa.

From some of these she has acquired a great love of read- ing, even our Required Literature be- ing consumed with great gusto.

Marie is studious and is one of those girls possessed of a person- ality, not attracting especial -Utention, yet always commanding admiration.

A serions soul is looking from tlix earnest eyes. The Philadelphia High School has shown us honor in giving us this young lady, who was one of the best mem- bers of its recent graduating class. It is rather unusual that a girl who knows how to wield the brush should also e.xcel in such things as mathe- matics and chemistry. She has shown us her fondness for chemistry by tak- ing the advanced course, and intends to specialize in the subject after gradu- ating. One need only ask those who know her to learn of her deepest na- ture, but then, still waters rtm deep, and to this we may attribute her bril- liant class work. Moore Ethel W.

She is one of our serious maidens who find the greatest pleas- ure in faithfni and energetic devotion to lessons, always striving to be pre- pared, and seldom failing ni the chss- rooni. We have decided that this is due to her year ' s teaching experience. Her special subjects are literature and history of education. After graduat- ing here she hopes to continue her studies in the University of Michigan, and we know she will contiruie there the record which she be.gan here. Aryan Absence of occupation is nut rest. A mind quite Z ' aeant is a mind dis- tressed. Bing! Bang! What a noise! Oh, it ' s only Elizabeth coming into class room. First one book falls, then a whole armful. Who could doubt that this was a great scholar. To us, who know her, she is the best example of perpetual motion we can produce.

Fair-haired Helen came to us from Jermyn, in the nortliern part of the State, and has been a representative of whom any town need not be ashamed. She is an enthusiastic student, and is never afraid to give her opinion when occasion requires. She has been very succes.sful in public speaking, having won a prize in an oratorical contest at this school.

She is decided and de- tcrnnned in whatever slie undertakes, and never gives up until she has ac- complished her end. We see this as well in her class-room work as in other directions, for she is an earnest and industrious student. However, this is not her only characteristic; in no one will you find a nmre delight- full companirin. Moore Lillian R. Williams Wayne, Pa. Contentment can satisfv the sonl. Lillian is a graduate of the Tredyf- frin-Easttown High School, and came to us directly after her graduation. She is faithful in all her work, being ea.ger for success in everything she undertakes, but her favorite study is mathematics. She is rather quiet, but once in a while she takes a recess, and then there are pranks. She intends teachin.g after she leaves the Normal School, and the best wishes of her friends will remain with her in her future woik. Marjorie E. Williams Delta, Pa. She gii ' cs her limi ne no moment ' s rest. Marjorie is very proud of her home in southern York county, near the Susquehanna, and she can talk as fast as its swift waters flow. But her bright face, generously sprinkled with freckles, is so attractive that every one is glad to know her. Her eyes fairly dance with mischief, and there is always something doing when Marjorie is around. One would never think that such a creature would have a mathematical mind, yet such is the case, and she hopes one day to sp ecialize along this line. Aryan I9I4 SERPENTINE Page 123 Esther H.

She always agrees to the rules and regulations of the school and always obeys them(?). Her favorite study is nature study, and the most interesting part is the study of insects, especially tile Miller. Aryan Helen R. Wiltbank Lewes, Del. langh. for hope hath haff ' x place with me. Here is our black-haired beauty from Lewes, Del. She has been with us two years, and in that time has made many friends, who feel proud of her company. Her favorite studies are agriculture and physics, but even with all her grinding, she never for- gets Delaware College. She is also well known for her musical talent, in which she excels.

She is :i framer of good re.v lutions, but alas! — sleep is the in- strument which works havoc with Flo ' s resolutions. Take your time is her favorite motto, and she follows it elosolv. We now have no fear for her future success, since she has be- come quite fond of Dutch, and ex- pects to seek her fortune in that reain . Moore Tho Edna has been with us quite a while she has managed to keep on the quiet side of Normal School life. It is hard to say what line of work she will take up in later years, tho we wish her the greatest success in whatever she undertakes. Be sure of the right, Edna, and then go ahead with all vour might. Such will bring you success. Moore I9I4 SERPENTINE Page 125 M. Juliette Young Coatesville, Pa.

She is very industrious, but has one fault to overcome — that is, talking. No topic is too profound for her elo- tiuence, but, strange to say, she is very sensiti ' e about this gift of gab. Some people are born teachers: some must be trained. Juliette is one of the former. She cannot persuade us that she has not had experience. Interest- ed in school work, in missions, and ni playgrounds, she is in all ways a new woman, and indeed, looks down upon all Romeos from a superior height. Aryan Anna B. Zebley Newark, Del.

We wish that everything could be told, for that is more a chronicle, but de- tails must be submerged to make room for the more important events, and time now slipped rapidly by until the Seniors of 1913 were ready for their trip to Washington. It was the dark and misty morning of May 8th that strange noises were abroad. The walks seemed alive with tipping toes and stage whispers, occasionally intermingled with grunts or a smothered cry of pain. Even the roof of the girls ' dormitory was heard to re-echo with a delightfully spooky sound which tin gives forth. Slowly the sun rose from her long night ' s slumber and burst forth with all the splendor of renewed vigor upon — ah, let us spare the painful details! The Seniors went to Washington, as they had planned, and the heroes of the class of 1914 went to Professor Starkey, as they had not planned. Tears, idle tears ! I know not what they mean ! Aryan Ref.nion of 1913 Ijrouglit forth a new sensation. Each and every member of the class felt a thrill of pride and responsibility, for it was then that the great gold and blue banner was unfurled for the first time, thirty feet f its silky texture, to closely examine the gold seal and then to look at each other with wide and shining eyes and whisper it ' s ours. State Board rang its knell in our ears, for we all knew that it is on the last stretch that the good athlete makes a final effort, and with a wonderful sprint leaps beyond the tape. We came, we saw, we conquered, and State Board will never have the same terrors. .And after this, the master piece, the final effort of a successful class. The play, A Mid Summer Night ' s Dream, given on the south campus. Was it our imagination, was it because we did it that it seemed the best of any previous year? No, it was the spirit of the participants, the loyalty of the class and the untiring efforts of Miss Everett, directed to the outgoing Seniors from the Junior class. Thus ended the year 1913, with work well done and visions of the forthcoming successful year. Act 2 — FiN ' .M. Scene. Once more confusion reigned, hut it was we, this time, who lent a helping hand to new students and made prospective Society members. On September 22, 1913, the class banded together once more, and we showed the love and res])ect of a student body by electing Leroy Brooke and Anna Zebley as head officers of the Senior class. Page i.iO SERPENTINE 1914 The future had unw taken n a new asjiect, we lonked upon her with grave and intent eyes; what had once been indefi- nite, a vao-ue, shapeless mass, began to form into a path, long, hard, but with a rainbow just at the end. One idea predomi- nated, to help Dr. Philips, for it was the great privilege of this class to stand by the great head of this institution when trouble came upon him. He left us for a while, but did Rume fall when Julius Cresar was killed? ' Ah, nn ! His spirit lived on, o-uiding and directing, planning and acting. So it was with our principal, he was with us: though absent, each felt that he must measure up to the high standard always refpiired. W ' e expressed our sympathy for and our cooperation with Dr. Philips, whii showed his appreciatiiin in his own ipiiet and characteristic manner. The thirty-hrst day of January the West Chester Normal Schn ,l was a State school, and the second nf k ' ebruary Dr. Philips was in bis place in chapel, the triumphant jirincipal of the school he had created. Smoothly the course ran on, until the liirlhdav of George Washington was with us. Tlie Seninrs worked hard to make this a success; the library was transformed intn an eighteenth century reception ball. Powdered hair and dainty dresses, satin l reeches and buckle shoes, patches placed .m dimples, curK arranged coyly over shapelv shoulders, gallant speeches and courtlv men. Thus we feted tire father of our country. And now the act is drawdng to a close. Men and women have slipped into the places cjf boys and girls. We are going out mto the world with heads high and hearts glad; we are the makers of citizens, we are the teachers of men. We thank the facultv. one and all, for the kindness and patience shown, to us, we are leaving behind beautiful memories, we are taking with us high ideals and ambitions given to us by ihem. The class history is done, the result of our labor is in the making, but — ' i ' his above all. to thine own self l)e true. And it must follow as the day the night, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Curtain Elsie M.

So the ilhistrious class of 1915 was first heard of as a class on the twenty-eighth day of May, 1913. Though perhaps somewhat small in nunihers then, our little band was industrious and wished to have the class as renowned as any class had ever been. The first thing to do was to elect officers. The following were elected : President. Charles Meyers ; Vice-President, Raymond Webster ; Secretary, Pauline Moore ; Treas- urer, Dorothy Flannigan. We likewise adopted a constitution that year. The fall of 1913 saw our ranks increasing, and we were delighted to welcome our co-workers. The newly-elected offi- cers were: President, Irvin Shofifstal ; Vice-President. Grant Swartley : Secretary. Blanche Schultz : Treasurer. Mary Daley. We were drawn closer together by bands of Blue and Steel, and made a resolution to livt up to our motto, Do noble things, not dream them — Charles Kingsley. Our boys have enter ed with great spirit int(j athletics. On the basketball floor they have won .great fame, and their names shall go down in memory as being the star players belonging to the class of 191 5. The girls ' basketball team is never mentioned without a Bang. It deserves much praise. Every game played has been won by the 191 5 girls. We feel sure their success is due to their constant practice. Next year promises to be better, so challenge us, ye 1916! In baseball we stand a fair chance. The boys did their best in the fall meet and the girls showed their 191 5 spirit by cheering them in their efforts to win honors for the class, . lthough 1916 scored the most points, we made a very good show- ing. In our studies we are ambitious, and vou will recognize us as trying to Do noble things, not dream them. Blanche R. Schultz, ' 15.

What a noble motto for an earnest band of young people to strive to uphold! Our motto does not mean the end of our school life alone, for while we may begin to realize some of the benefits of our society training then, yet the real benefits of such training will go with us always, and we shall look back with reverence upon our society and the work it is doing. Our society has fully upheld, throughout the past year, the high standard of literary production and excellence of rendition which has been set by the members of former years. Our newly-revised Constitution has proved very satis- factory and does credit to our friends of 1913, who worked so hard to give their society the best that could be had. The active Aryans have seemed to take keen delight in presenting something new and interesting, but yet instructive. Our first meeting was typified by a comical farce, At the Photographers, which was mostly original. Soon after this our boys presented a mock trial, which was entirely original, and was made especially interesting, as the theme of the trial was the theft of a pie from the kitchen by one of the students. At the first meeting of the Spring Term, the poet of our class, Ernest Schultz, gave us a short reading of some of his poems, which held the attention of the admiring audience for about fifteen minutes. Great interest has been taken, both by the boys and girls, in the two oratorical contests which are held each year. Much credit is due Dr. F. H. Green for the awarding of the prizes. Mr. Benamin Chapin entertained us very efficiently at our annual reunion on May 16. Mr. Chapin is a noted imperson- ator of Lincoln, who gives scenes from the life of Lincoln with great skill. We are always glad to see so many of our former meml ers here for our reunions. We are glad that they still have an interest in us, and we feel sure that the lime will never come when we will not be glad to return and see the progress of our be- loved society. C.

Society work of all kinds has been beneficial for our all around development, and has in a slight degree partially supplied the social side of our education which, we regret t(; say. has been sadly neglected. The feeling of having acconi- j lished something is one of the direct results of our society meetings, but the indirect results are far reaching in their scope. According to custom, the Moores gave the first society meeting of the year, which was a very interesting playlet entitled, The Cool Collegians. Our meetings throughout the year have equaled, as well as excelled, those of previous years. On October 8, 1913, Leon H. Vincent, of Boston, gave a wonderfully interesting lecture on Lowell, the Critic, Letter- writer, and . merican. This was the occasion of the Moore anniversary, which is always looked forward to with a feeling of expectation by the entire student body. Dr. Howell S. Zulick also entertained us with several vocal selections. Debating has occupied the boys ' minds most of the fall and winter. The incentive in the Lock Haven Contest Debate is a good one, and the winners of the contest may well feel proud of their work. The Twig of Thorn, a play typifying a portion of Irish life, was given by the girls of the Society, Saturday evening, March j8, i )I-).. A great deal of credit is due the girls because of the excellen.t manner in rtliich the parts were played. Thi.s was the first meeting of the Spring Term. We, the Senicjr members of the Moores, have set the standard for all succeeding years, because we have practically broken all previous records for the number of new members secured in a given time. We feel and believe that the work which we have thus far so n(jbly carried on, will devolve upon shoulders which will bear it on to victory. McKiNi.EY H. Stevens.

A. i iatnry CHE work of the Association was really begun in the summer when members of the Membership Committee sent letters of welcome to all new students who had enrolled for the commg school year. This committee arrived at school early on the first day. welcoming the new girls, showing them to their rooms, directing them around the buildings, and in every way endeavoring to make them fee] at home. On the first Saturdav of the term a reception was held in the girls ' sitting-room, to which all the girls of the school were invited. This was attended by many nf the girls, who entered into the spirit of the hour, warmly welcoming all strangers. Miss Richardson, our Field Secretary, made us a visit early in the term. She told us of the work planned for the Associations of this district, and the problems which we should help work out as members of the National Association. The students who attended the Eaglesmere Conference in June, together with Miss Everett, who accompanied them, gave a most interesting program at an early meeting. Each took some particular phase of the work and described it in a most interesting manner. We were impressed with the enthusiasm which delegates to these conventions always carry away with them, for here they receive instruction from and are inspired by the experience and character of the great men and women who ctmie from all over the world to lead in the activities of this conference. The i)resident. Ann Entriken, was elected a delegate to the Student Volunteer Convention, held at Wilson College, Chambersburg, in November. This convention continued for three days. It was attended by delegates who were student volunteers from all the colleges and universities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. They will always remember the charm- ing hospitality shown, both by the college and the residents of the town, and they cannot help but be forever influenced by the vital message brought to them by great leaders of thought in America and China. One of the great privileges of the year lias been to entertain Miss Irene Sheppard, our representative in Buenos Aires, South America. She gave an illustrated talk on the .Argentine, showing us the beauty of the country and the extremely modern and spacious l;)uildings of the large cities, which, however, do not lessen the great need for organized work among the women of South America. To briefly review the work of the different committees : The devotional committee has most ably provided a program for the regular Thursday evening meetings. These have either been led by students or by prominent speakers, who have most graciously given us their time and thought. The Missionary Committee brings to us once a month a program on some missionary topic. One of the most interest- ing of these meetings was that in which Miss Margaret E. Henry, of Maryville, Tenn., told us of the ambition of the boys I9I4 SERPENTINE Page 155 and ,e;irls of the mountains to secure an education. The beautiful life and death of one of these g-irls amply repaid the coUeg-e for all that it has done to help them. Rev. Rol ert Tuml)elston, of Vineland, N. J., told us of his work among the so-called poor whites of the mountains of Kentucky. (We can hardly realize that such conditions exist in this country of ours, but a greater sense of responsibility to our brother; has come to us.) Six Mission study classes were conducted for six consecutive Sunday evenings by girl leaders. Each class took up a study of one phase of the Mission Field. At these classes there was a voluntary attendance of 190 girls. Under the very efficient work of the Missionary Giving Committee. , _ ' 9 girls have made weekly pledges of at least two cents, totaling $271.70 for the year. This money is used to carry on . ssociation work in South . merica. The Information Committee endeavors to i ring Ixfore the attention of the Association the work being carried on in different centers for social and economic l etteriuent. The work of the Consumers ' League, the open air schools and sum- mer plaj ' grounds have been mi:)st adequately described. Miss Esler, the faculty memlier of the Cabinet, who has organized and superintended the Bible Study Classes for many years, oversees that department entirely. These classes are taught by different members of the faculty, and meet every Sunday. The girls are interested in these and are faithful in attendance. There are also six Bible Circles of six members each, comixised of Senior girls, who in turn lead the studv in the Circle. One of the most important committees is the Finance. Ft is this committee that collects the dues, disburses the moneys of the general fund, and raises the money for the Eaglesmere Conference Fund. From this fund is paid the expenses of our delegates to the Conference; it amounts to $150 per year, and it is in the main raised in the Christmas sale and the sale of sweet chocolate. The Membership Committee supervises the organized work for new members. They invite the new girls to become members at the beginning of each term. The total membership for the year is 310 girls. The Social Service Committee, as its name implies, has Others as its motto. It aims to be a service to those near at hand, either in the school itself, or locally. It has helped in bringing the Christmas spirit to those connected with the school : it has bought or made one hundred and fifty garments and given three dollars in money to the Needle Work Guild of America for distribution from its local office in West Chester: it has kept this association in touch with other associa- tions in the State by sending cards of greeting at the different holidays. The reception at the beginning of the year and any social events during the year are arranged by the Social Com- mittee, while any music is arranged by the Music Committee. This committee also selects the pianists for the meetings. Its goal is to have an Association chorus. Gathering together the results of the year ' s work, we feel that in manv respects we sliould have done more, but con- sidering the many other duties of the students, the year has b;en one of success and prosperity.

The association was at first rather of the nature of an experiment, but it has grown and been wonderfully successful. ' Idle society each year inchuled a great majority of the boys, and is a profound influence for good upon all. I ' Yir years the Association held its meetings in a room in the main building, a spot rendered sacred in the memory of hundreds of boys and men. Upon the erection of Wayne Hall, the old association room was abandoned for our new (piarters. Here we meet in a large, welldighted room on the liasement floor. We have furnished it and decorated it with good pictures, and now, at last, largely through the aid of a loyal alumni, after an earnest apjieal of Dr. Green, we ha e jnirchased a |)iano and have installed it in a place of honor. Weekly, on Thursday ex ' enings, we are permitted to hear ele ating and instructive talks by men of abilitw insjiiration and e.xperience, talks of a type that leave a lastin.g impression on those who hear them. Too much credit and too much gratitude cannot be shown to our organizer, our adviser, and abo e all, our friend. Dr. Green. His counsel and his aid have been and are a potent fa tcor in the lives of all whom he touches. NOKMAN C. SOMERS.

JUNIOR BASKET BALL TEAM Page 174 SERPENTINE 1914 Girls ' Inter-Class Basket Ball BASKETBALL proved to have its attrai-tions this year for the girls, as well as the boys. A de- cided spirit of rivalry prevailed between the members of the Junior and Senior classes, and, as a result, a large number of Seniors came out for jiractice. On the team which was chosen there appeared a number of last year ' s players, but several were new. Marguerite Hennig was unanimously elected captain, and Miss Margaret Belden as manager. Throughout the season the captain did her best to keep the girls interested in the game, and she herself did verv creditable work at center, as did Hulda PVatchett and Helen Joyce. The guards, Miriam Holt, lulia Kirk. Elizabeth Weiss, and Mary Ritchie saved the team froiu many a troui.cing by their success in co ' ering their opponents. Mary DeHart. as forward, scored most pdints for the team, and was aWy assisted by . Iva Stackhouse, Bertha McKee, and Elizabeth Holden. Several of the games which were scheduled were not played, as skating pruved to ha ' e a greater at- traction for the girls than any indoor sport. It is unfortunate that dur girls are not permittetl to play other schools, as we would surely t e represented by a strong team. «i -;i ■ ' ' .. - Page 176 SERPENTINE 1914 BASE BALL TEAM igi4 SERPENTINE PagL- [77 last lall frna prta CHE baseball season has begun, and prusiiects look jnioil.

The Seniors, although thev were lacking the services of several of their men, made a brilliant showing, and much credit is due the few, who did their best to make their class champions of the school, hut who failed by the narrow margin of 12 points. Claude Miller, a lad who comes to us from Franklin and Marshall Academy, and who gi -es promise of developing into a very o-ood track man, scored the greatest numlier of points, and won the individual trophy — a handsome gold medal.

The day was a perfect one for the occasion, and all the athletes took advantage of the good condition of the track by running: in good form and excellent time. Although there was only one record broken, all of the events were closely contested. The old one-mile relay record of 3.38. made in 191 1 by Williamson Trades School, was broken l y the team representing West Chester High School : their team was composed of Shields, Moore, Embree and Grubb, who completed the course in 3.34 1-5. Episcopal Academy won the meet with a total of 18 points. Cedarcroft was second with 10 points, all of which were due to the e-xcellent work of Fritz, who won the Individual Trophy. West Chester Normal School was third with nine points. Our relay team, composed of Schultz, Meyers, Hemmig and Miller, although they put up a fast race, were unable to overcome Perkiomen Seminary and Episcopal Academy. Miller secured second place in the 220-yard dash, Schultz was awarded second place in the high jump, while McDannel secured third place in the 2- ' o-yard dash and the high jump. iqi4 SERPENTINE P.-iKe i8, Suiiiniaiy of Events TOO YARD DASH— HIGH SCHOOLS Won by Fritz, Cedarcroft.

Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of Representatives. He was introduced b} ' the Hon. Thomas S. Butler. Congressman from this district, who was instrumental in securing Mr. Clark for this lecture. Mr. Clark spoke on Public Men and Measures. He related many anecdotes of men who have been well known in Cong ' ressional circles for the last three decades. National an l Presidential policies w ' ere touched upon, and the Speaker ' s plan for gradual disarmament ex- plained. The audience felt that certainly, from the stand- point of knowledge of inside affairs at the capital, and the intricate maze of nati(jnal lawmaking, Mr. Clark is pecu- liarly fitted for his position. One of the rare entertainments given in the chapel in nineteen hundred f(nirteen was a concert by Mr. Herman Sandljy. He is a Dane by liirth, coming from Copenhagen, in Denmark. He plays the violoncello with marvelous tech- nical skill and lends all this skill to a splendid interpre- tation of great music. The following aried |)rograni was given in the Normal auditorium on the evening of January sixteenth. The concert was a most delightful one, and was thoroughly appreciateil. We hope to hear him in concert again. The program : 1. Gohermann — Concerto in A minor. .-Mle.?ro Cantilena Allegrv. 2. Chopin — Nocturne. Becker — Minuet. Saint-Saens — The .Swan. Gohermann — Copriccio. 3. Kreisler — Old Vienna Dances. Liebesfreud. Liebeslied. Schoen Rosniaria. 4. Sandby — Danish Songs. Svialin Elverhoj. Popper — Hungarin Rhapsody. At the Piano — Blllis Clark Hammann. On the evening of January twenty-sixth. Dr. Thomas E. Green gave his brilliant lecture on The Key to the Page I go SERPENTINE 1914 Twentieth Century. Dr. Green, Andrew Carneg-ie and David Starr Jordan compose The International Peace Com- mittee. ' Ilie committee is most ably represented by this man. who Ijrings the keenest scholarship and broadest cul- ture to the solution of one of the most pressing problems of the day. Prol)ahly one of the most impressive lectures of the course was the illustrated one g ' iven by Miss Dora Keen, of Philadelphia, on The First Ascent of Mt. Blackburn. Impressive — because it told of human achievement, rather than human inspiration. Inspiring — because there was so plainly shown the determined will overcoming the barriers of natural laws. We could not help but feel that there stood before us a woman of Spartan endurance, one who has an immensity of outlook, and one who yet remains essentially feminine ! We had the rare privilege of hearing Dr. Edward A. Steiner speak in our chapel for the second time, on Febru- ary twenty-eis ' hth. Dr. Steiner ' s subiect was The Strug- gle for Brotherhood. The state of society where every man shall feel a sense of his responsibility to his brother is the ideal toward which Dr. Steiner works with all the fervor of his naturally intense nature. He is perfectly at home in any peasant cottage from the Urals to the Golden Gate. He sympathizes with them in their struggles and re- joices with them in their successes. He recognizes in them the strength and virility of the future, and they find in him a true brother. — Ann F. Entriken. 1914 SERPENTINE Page igi RESIDENCE OF DR.

Breakfast was over, the lunches ready, suit cases and uniljrellas tagged, and the cars waiting for us in front of the school. . s we passed down the walk and entered the cars the members of each class gathered on the campus and gave our party a rousing cheer. The cars left, and as we supposed, every one was with us; but, when we :irri ed at the station we discovered that one unfortunate lass had been left behind. It was not long before she put in appearance, ha ing been brought to her destina- tion by the aid of five gallant young men and an auto truck. At last all was ready and the signal was given for the train to lea e. . s we passed thru the lower part of town we were given a last farewell liy several small groups who had gathered to have a last parting look at the faces of the departing Seniors. The ride between here and Washington was beautiful. The beauties of the spring landscape, with its budding dog- wood and snowy cherry trees, called forth comments of admiration all along the line. Although these beautiful sights were thoroughly enjoyed by most of us, yet there were some whose time was taken up by getting fixed in the special car in front. Of course, the attractions for these were centered rather in the in iting seats of the train than in the green stretches of Pennsylvania that were speeding from our view. As we passed Wilmington, Henrietta expressed her regret that this was no longer the city for hurry-up calls in the matrimonial line. .As the hills of Pennsylvania had faded away and disappeared, so the lowlands of Delaware and Mary- land gave place to the District of Columbia and the dream city of Washington. Our first impression of the city was that of a beautifully laid out |)ark, with shade trees all aleaf, balconies and trellises gay in their drooping clusters of wistaria, and flower beds snu ' ling with thousands of bright-faced pansies of varied hues. Page 196 SERPENTINE 1914 The first place of interest for us after we left the Union Station was tlie Capitol. It was here that we spent our first morning and a greater part of the afternoon. Here many funny and curious things happened. Promptly at 12 o ' clock we saw opening- nf the Senate, watching with excitement for the appearance of our Pennsylvania Senators. Oliver and Penrose. Quite dift ' erent from this was the session in the House. Here all was noise and confusion, all seemed to be talking at once, and each one trying to talk louder than the other, . fter listening for a few minutes to one Representative trying to get in a word, we were taken out to meet Vice-President Marshall. Here, amidst many mirrors, which seemed to have more at- traction for Mangel than the Vice-F resident himself, we were introducetl individuall - 1) - our class president. Leroy Brix)ke. Mr. Brooke was more successful in rememljering our names than McLaughlin, who, a few minutes later, had the privilege of exercising his powers of memory by reeling oft the names of his classmates to the Hon. Champ Clark. W ' e don ' t know whether he was excited or forgetful, but every one was presented to Mr. Clark as Miss Daniels, Miss Kauft - man. Miss Daniels, Miss Kauffman, with an occasional Miss Jones to vary the monot ' ny. l ' riim liere we found our wa - into the Supreme Court. Here the guide who had Iieen so kind to us left us with this farewell: Now don ' t shout Hallelujah and hurrah in there. This room, with its occupants, had a bad effect on Bess, for she setmed to stumble over every trifle. Here, too, we had the remembrance of our old friend, John Bunny, brought be- fore us through his likeness to Chief Justice White. We concluded that he must have been under the influence of a sleep- ing potion at the time, because he did not waken to greet us wdien we went in. This solemnity being too much for us, we sodU left for the higher things in life — namely, the dome of the Capitol. It was way up here that we had our first view of the city and all its wonders. Mildred and Lloyd, not satisfied with our distance from the earth, increased diis space by climbing up just a little higher, nearing the top of the dome in their ascent, and affording a striking object for the nearby cameras. The whispering gallery that we inspected on our way down was a curious structure. This was the spot where cameras seemed to talk and wild-faced personages to pour out bitter revenge. No matter how hard John and Ray- mond tried to whisper enilearing words to their admiring lady loves, yet each echo came rcmnd to the others with distinct clearness. When we came down tu the main floor again we were surprised to see an odd little (inian clotheil in man ' s apparel — even to the high silk hat. This was Dr. Mary Walker, the only woman in the L ' nited States legally wearing the costume of man. Then fnr the class picture; but, l)efore this C. L. Neal had to have his appetite satisfied by a large ham sandwich. He did not hesitate to ask any one where he could purchase the desired object. The last event of the first day was our tour of the city in the large sight-seeing autos. In these, the back seats were I9I4 SERPENTINE Page 197 the most popular, judging liy the rush for them. The autos. after making the tour, limught us to our destination, our hotel, which was to be our new home for three days. Upon arriving at the hotel we were surprised to learn that another par ty of students from one of (lur I ' hilailelphia schools, was staying at the hotel, too, for three days. The first exening was a pleasant one, and had a romantic ending. As it hap]:)ened, there was a beautiful balcony on the front of the hotel, overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue, and it was here that the partings were reluctantly made when our chaperon. Miss Criley, ushered us in and to bed — perhaps at i 1.30 P. M. Early Fridav morning we again took up our quest of the city. In spite of the slight rain we went on and were suc- cessful in seeing the Engraving and Printing Bureau, Smithsimian Institute. New Museum, and the iew from the top of the Washington monument. The museum was one of the many places that we most hated to leave. In here the enthusiasm was divided among the casts of every nation, everv tribe on this terrestrial ball, the cases of stuffed animials, and the cases of our Alma Mater. Just after this part of our program we had the pleasure of meeting William J. Bryan, Secretary of the Navy Dan- iels, and . dmiral Dewey. These men were all very nice to us. and seemed as glad to meet us, as we were to meet them. By this time. Mr. Brooke had learned his part well, having learned the name of every member of the class, so that his introductions were not a repetition of Mr. McLaughlin ' s. He could now introduce us by our projjer names, and did not have to resort to the name then nearest his heart. It was the White House that was particularly interesting to us, on account of the wedding that had taken place there the night before. It was noticed that two of our young people were trying to stand on the exact spot where many of the daughters of former Presidents had become happy brides and had the minister been there, we are afraid their fate would have been a repetition of the past. Our trip to . rlington Heights at sunset ended our second day ' s j(jurney. On this trip one of the girls learned for the first time that a man could attend his own funeral. The second evening was spent in much the same manner as the first. Just before going to bed. however, it was suggested by some one that we play old maids. As this did not appeal to the girls in general, we sauntered off reluctantly to bed. Saturday morning being our last in ' ashington, we all started off to Mt. Vernon with a determination to make our last trip a pleasant one. - 3 it happened, accidentally, of course, the boys from North East made the trip at the same tune. Before we had gone far down the Potomac, most of the boys had renewed old acquaintances among the girls of our party, and were willing to enjoy the remainder of our trip together. Page igS SERPENTINE 1914 At Washington ' s tomb we were welcomed by an old negro in uniform, who looked as though he had been there when the first President was in office. The short stay at the old Colonial house was delightful. Many of the boys were interested in the short Ixds which were in the sleeping ajjartments. They seemed to remember that Vashington and his family were tall people, but couldn ' t understand what they would do with their feet when they went to bed. One wise boy suggested that [(erhaps those steps beside the bed were movable and could be pushed around to the foot if necessary. .All arrived safely at the hotel at 2.30 P. M., and were ready to do justice to our last repast in Washington. It was during this meal that we learned of Mangel ' s misfortune. It seems that he has not yet learned the dilTerence between a mail box and a garbage can or subway entrance, for it was one of the latter into which he was seen dr(.)pping a letter. We hope though, that he discovered his mistake in liiue to withdraw the letter and send it on its journey, which must certainly have been to the home of a ladv, if he is as popular with the ladies at home as in Washington. He not only had one at a time, but always two. In the afternoon the great attraction for the girls was the Woman ' s Suffrage jjarade. We gathered on the l alcony, and for an hour saw each State in turn l eing represented by scores of women in white. It was all we could do to keep our enthusiastic suffragette, Ruth, from going down and joining the ranks. She said, It only takes one person to repre- sent our West Chester Normal of Pennsylvania. When this had passed we had just time enough to get ready for our homeward bomul train. Our ride home was one continuous frolic. The suffrage parade had made an impression, and at the first opportunity, some of our party began their own parade, headed by Mr. Biles, from one end of the line of vestibuled coaches to the other — all at the rate of 50 miles an hour, on a track as straight as an arrow can fly. At fifteen minutes ahead of time we were brought safely into the West Chester station, and with many thanks and best wishes to our chaperons and others who had been with us as guides, we separated and found (jur way to our respec- tive haunts.

I T WAS all such a surprise, and such a pleasant one. Winter had come, the snow was here, and also the popular topic, A Senior Sleigh Ride. Dr. Philips had given his consent, and the joyous day had arrived. .Are you ready, girls? Hurry up, the sleds are out here. . ren ' t they fine? W ith many such exclamations and with much hurrying, the Seniors finally gathered in front of Main Building on Wednesday afternoon, Jan- uary eighteenth. Finally everyone was securely packed into the straw, an.xiously awaiting the coming of the three chaperons. Miss Baldwin, Miss McCarthy, and Miss Everett. There were five sleds and three chaprons, so the question immediately arose, Where shall the chaperons be? Much to the delight of the occupants of the second sled, they saw each one in turn walk on to one of the rear sleds and take i ossession of it. Then we would have been ready to start if it had not been for the slight delay caused by Mr. Schrope and Mr. Meckley who, by accident, had missed connections and could not find the sled with the right parties in it. The final word was given, and with rousing cheers for the faculty, school, and schoolmates, we started forth on our trip. Things went well until we reached the corner of High and Gay stre.;ts. There one of the boys, imable to resist the tempting smell of fresh-roasted peanuts, jumped from the sled, but to return in a very few minutes with his arms and hat filled with them. Others followed his example, and soon there were peanut fights in each of the sleds. One of the most pleasant features of the afternoon was our stop in front of Mr.- Smith ' s house. Imagine our surprise and delight when Mrs. Smith came out laden with large dishes of fresh, home-made doughnuts. .Ml good things must come to an end, and so did our sleigh riile. Upon our return we were met by cheers from the girls and then, amid much merriment, we made our way to the dining-room, where Mr. Hollinger had supper awaiting us. We thoroughly enjoyed this until seven o ' clock, when we departed to our rooms declaring that we had all enjoyed the treat. Notes Some of the boys, unable to pay the full amount, eased their consciences by walking half of the way. Why was Mr. K. suffering from rheumatism in his right arm the next day? Ask Miss B. Miss W.. being unsatisfied with her first position, changed to the next sled, only to be again disappointed. . s Mr. Smith ' s horses had ioined the Xo-License campaign, we did not stop at any hotel, much to the regret of Miss C. — Myrtle Fretz. Page - ' 04 SERPENTINE 1914 WAYNE HALL I9I4 SERPENTINE Page J05 ayn nlh Arlj(3r Day. friend, Dr. T WAS the Iwenty-fourth of . pril. A crowd was gathering- to the south of Wayne Hall. I ' rue, it was an unusual place to assemble. Vhat did it mean? There was Dr. Philips, Dr. Rothrock, and Prof. Burnham. other members of the faculty, and many students. Boys were hanging out of their windows, and the fire escape was crowded. Girls were seen coming over the campus at the Library and back toward the main build- ing as far as we could see. Fnially, when all had assembled. Dr. Philips stepping forward, said: This is We will observe it by having a committee of Seniors plant fourteen white pines, given to us by our good Rothrock. The committee then proceeded to plant the fourteen trees, . fter they were all planted. Dr. Philips introduced Prof. Burnham, who then ga e a short, touching address. In it he told us of a boy who was born in Mifflin county ; about his noi)le and useful life, and that he was the same man who stood before us — Dr. Rothrock. He told us of his ready sacrifice of self, wliile thrnugli it all. Dr. Rothrock stood by with head bowed in modest ' . Prof. Burn- ham said in part : The planting of these white pines, trees representing the great ni)rthern forest, is a uKjst appropriate celebration of . rbor Day. This day and this event remind us of v. ' hat we may do as teachers: to adorn the school grounds oi the State with suitable shrubs and trees. To encourage the proper planting of roadsides, waste places and lands suitable only for growing timber, in the communities where we live and work. To support in e ' ery way the policv of conser -ing and re- storing the forest lands of our State and our country. The story of the life of Dr. J. T. Rothrock, the man whom we honor to-day, was told as a notable example of public service. His life is a guide and an inspiration to all who would be servants of the public good. After Prof. Burnham stopped s])eaking and the impressive exercises were over, the students slowly dispersed to their own inclination. This little grove i? to be called the Rothrock Grove. Every tree has been staked, and is growing. Our class may well be pruud, l: ecause ihi was the first Arbor Day to be observed in the history of this school. This is the beginning of the park and botanical gardens that Wayne Field, I hojje, is to be, and has all the possibilities of becoming. Have you ever noticed the lay of the land C(5m|)rising Wayne Field? Just think of a row of weeping willows here, a few- deliquescent elms there, with the broad expanse of a lawn between. Think of a bunch of shrubs, o ' ershadovved by the noble boughs of a few lofty oaks, clustering around a little school, all overrun with ivy — a true country school, a model scho(jl in ;ui ideal location. I can see in my vision the flower beds planted and cared for by the children: the lawn ' s expan.se : the drooping of the spruce, the heights of the larch, the firm old hickory, the graceful sassafras, and blooming dogwood. These are the possibilities that lie hidden in the soil, waiting for the Arbor Dav planting to gi -e them a chance. Plant! And let Wayne Field be the pride of the school. W. Lerov Brooke.

Presentation — The above suggestions are verv good and could be effectively carried out, if a committee would report the same to the steward. Too much ice cream and fancy foods have been served in tlie past. These are too nourish- mg for Normal students. Such substantial foods as State aid. salvation, glue, fried potatoes, Ijread pudding, and rice should be substituted for them. Breakfast would be greatly improved liy the addition nf alfalfa cereal, and alfalfa bread. The steward could nljtain instructions as to the manner of making the above from I ' rof. Cromwell. He might also get a few pointers about raising chickens by the colony house method. This would enable us to have chicken more frequently. The potato sujijily would also be greatly enlarged, if the hill rciw method of planting were used.

Brooke and Sec. Zcbley Decided to journey to town; But found to their great dismay Tlieir produce was way down. Where should they turn for aid In their great extremity? I have heard they turned in glee To 1914 as a remedy. First some Banks were found On which a Posey grew; They also found a Pickel, Which gave them courage new. Then they foimd a Cannon. And there were tons of Cole; They came upon a Nutt. And with this they paid the toll. Now rich as Croesus was this pair. And well they knew it, too; As now to town they started. For s ime shopping they had to do. Before they reached the town They passed the Millers two; Then the home of the Smiths they spied, Three of them with naught to do. But when to the store they came, A Paige befrire them they saw; And on it, written with much Work, Was, A Happy ' Holliday ' to All On they went past the store Until they saw a Fox ; ' So frightened they were that one Fell, While the other ran on to the docks. Ann and Leroy then decided to have a sail, And a Saylor soon was found Who led them over a Rod-rock. Then sea-ward they were bound. A Porter attended to all their wants. As on their way they sailed; Until they came to Green-burg, Where all their courage failed. But soon a Lodge they spied. And such a Baum it proved; Their Somers they fain would spend there, But instead — on they moved. Just then they passed a Church-man, Before whom both did Neal ; Until they heard him whisper: ' Ghee, ' is this your ' Diehl? Up they jumped as though Young. Their faces White as snow: And like Wilde to the Banks they ran As fast as they could go. Finally they came to another store, With its wares too many to tell; Among them a Mangel, a Mohler, And Roger ' s silverware to sell. At last, wearied with Parry (ing), They went for an oyster Frey ; Then to their home they journeyed, As the night was draw ing nigh. These two have decided at last. Since 1914 came to their aid. To draw from its abundant store. And thus of scarcity ne ' er be afraid. As a closing word, let it be said. Since this represents a noble class, Pres. and Sec. were rightly chosen. To help the story pass. Ruth Porter. Page 218 SERPENTINE 1914 lien ' s Hho mh W[)v, at Nnrmal Herbert A. Dieui,. — ' I ' he great rustic pulitician i.if Bucks coinitN-.

His ability as a woman hater does not stop him from going to theatres with girls who fear the women as much as he. Fr. nk C. McL.xughlix. — The man from the cnal mines. The great liusiness man of Wayne Hall. His refreshments are enjoyed by all who have cash (very few) and the con- venience cannot be overestimated. He is one of the strong- arms of the class, and has prnven it to the underclassmen. McKiNLEV HoBART Stevens. — The preacher ' s son. The most innocent. God-fearing child that e er walked the earth. He never thinks of breaking any rule, and couldn ' t do so if he tried. He expects to live in Worcester next year. Mike Somers. — The fellow with the bulldog grip which jabs us by the collar.

His complexion and face are so sweet and lieautiful that every one likes to be with Lucy (Loosey). He is the head of the mathematical department and of Wayne Hall. He often sends his office l oy.

Can tell you the why and the wherefore of every- thing-. Knows all the country roads, turnpikes, and every nook of the iinier office. Clarence C.

The Bible says, Blessed is he that lioldetb. his peace, and doubly is Josiah blessed. To get him filled with humor and fun is an absolute im]iossibility. His age gives him too serious a view of life.

He always smiles when you mention the magic word Helen, Leuo ' i- Brooke. — The Sauer Kraut Philosopher. One of those radical Dutchmen that are not carried away by new frills. Coming from Schwenks ille. he brings with him the histor - of his ancient town, the stories of which always clear the deck for action. Ernest Sciu ' ltz. — L ' ndoulrtedly the best skater in the class. During the cold winter mornings Ernest worked hard to become the best skater, and he succeeded. Almost every fellow could do the same thing, provided the incentive were the same, and as strong. Ernest ' s taste for literature has lately drifted toward the literature of love. Jacob Schkope. — If you don ' t believe Jake is a tough one, look back to his photogra])h. By trade he is a miner, where he first l)ecame familiar with the use of mules. This knowledge gave him a big start in the study of lan- guages here, and early put him in the front rank as an e.x- pert cavalryman. Keep up the pace, Jake.

EXCITEMENT RUNS HIGH HE Senior bovs of the West Chester State Normal School held an exciting meeting in Room 22. Wayne Hall, yesterday. So crowded were the quarters that full use was made of the two beds, three chairs, two tables, the wash stand and dresser. When Chairman Brooke took the stand a spooky silence stole over the place. He looked admirable as he stood on an old box throwing out his chest and expostulating with great vehemence. His veracious language and eli iuent articulation held the amazed audience spellbound for the time being. In part, he said : Fellow-students and pony boys: I feel it my duty at this critical period of the school ' s history to call this meeting to order. Within recent days I have come to the conclusion that here at this school we are prohibited the full rights of Ameri- can citizenship. Several of my worthy class-mates have consulted me on these rights, and I honestly believe that drastic measures ought to be taken. Why, it was only a few days ago that I wanted to talk to a girl, and the only way I could arrange to (to so was to call a committee meeting. Abe Mangel tells me it is almost impossible for him to talk to the fair sex without running the gauntlet, and look at the poor fellow now, as he stands leaning against the bed-post. Notice how pale his complexion is, and how deeply his cheeks have fallen in on account of unjust punishment. Look at John Kinneman, has heart almost torn asunder, fast falling into the mire of luidue worriment. And, fellow-citizens, take one hasty glance at Jake Schrope, and then look no more, for the agony he is in is fast giving him the looks of a Medusa. O, IieaVtless creatures who are the causes of Jake ' s recent disposition. O, friends, it brings tears to my eyes (WIPES HIS FACE WITH HANDKERCHIEF) as I think of it all, and then stand face to face with Doctor Eberly. Look ;,t him — boo-oo-oo. poor Doc Eberly — wh-who n-never m-m-m-meant to hurt any b-l)-bodv. ( SOBBING NOW HEARD IN ALL CORNERS OF THE ROOM AND HERBERT DIEHL RUNS FOR A MOP. Chairman Brooke could say no more, for he was overcome by the heat, and became unconscious. Mike Somers took the floor and said : Friends, I am deeply moved by what has been said by our worthy chairman, and I am sure that some action must be taken at once. I therefore move that a jietition be drawn up immediately by this body, tabulating our grievances, and forwarded post-haste to our principal. I9I4 SERPENTINE Page 225 Upnn this a CdniniiltL-e was ininieiliatclv set to work. After iiuRh discussiun and careful consideration, the following petition was presented to the nienihers nf the class: To our Worthy Principal: — The customs and precedents of this school have always caused a state nf artificial relations l etween the young ladies and young men. Since we, the Seni(_)rs of this school, are now almut to coni]ilcle the comse, and to pass c)Ut into various communities where we will be received into the best and most refined society that can be offered, where we will be considered some- what of a leader, and will be expected to conduct ourselves in a way to reflect honor and credit on our school, we believe that our education here should include and foster training to fit us for this experience. We believe that the system of separating the gentlemen and ladies in well chaperoned places, and under perfectly proper conditions is a jjositive hindrance to t)ur training in this respect. We believe, moreover, that the present system of spying and reporting such incidents of this kind as have occurred, shows a belittling and a doubting of manhood and womanhood. We recognize that there are some in the student body who are not worthy of the trust, yet we do not wish to be judged by them, or to be deprived of the privileges rightly due us. We believe that any person considered l.)y the faculty worthy U be a Si-nior, is als(j wurthy of this trust. We believe that the various athletic events being public and generally well attended by the faculty are fitting and properly chaperoned places. Therefore, with these things in mind, we lay this petition before you with the Impe that something may be done for the common good. Thus was the petition. For the ])urpose of seeing where Dr. Philips stood on the cpiestion. it was considered best to touch him personally before presenting the petition. Our president took it upon hmiself, and a day or so later presented himself before our principal. He first told Dr. Philips (if the disorder in society, and how great a subject it was to deal with. Then, as a remedy, he declared that the proper thing to do was to put no re strictions on the boys and girls in regard to sitting together. Here- upon Dr. Philips ' eyes sparkled, and in a straightforward manner, he asks but erne simple rpiestion. I understand. I under- stand, Leroy, but why do the boys want to sit with the girls? The question was put and must be answered, but who would answer it. It struck President Brooke like a thunderbolt; it echoed and re-echoed throughout the Normal School, and gradually passed away — and so did Mr. Brooke — out of the pri- vate office, with these few words in mind, Gee, but he ' s a foxy one. And thus the petition was killed in its cradle, though its corpse lies recorded in the annals of the class of ' 14. Page 22J SERPENTINE 1914 A UrttiT iFrnm a Nnrmal iFrfsliman to l ts iaii I MEANT tu take up my pen a long time ago and make you accpiainteil witki what 1 did and didn ' t see liere at West Chester, but events came so rapidly and time so scarce that I decided it was best for my health not to write. But now I take up my pen and tell you how I met some big heads of this institution, and some that are not so big. When I brst jumped off the little tro lleymobile that runs along the street, from one end to the other, I didn ' t know what to do, for it went three different ways: it went forward, upward and downward, and t(i this day I can ' t tell you which way it went the most. Well, the cunducti.r managed td dance the tango to my seat, and ask for a nickle, which I gave him, and with a few hops, skips and jumps, we eventually reached our destination. Mv first impression was made when I stepped off the car and ran into John Kmnenian. I did not know it was J(ihn, for I did not know he was bow-legged, but anyway, he made his impression on me with his anatomy, and John and 1 have been friends ever since. Well, I went to the reception room, but didn ' t see any recejition. They told me the reception would come later, and that I wnuld be received by putting my name and a v,Iii)le lot of other stuff ' on a paper, which I (bd withiiut any hesitation. The man in charge called to a fellow n xT in the cnrner to take me tn Wayne Hall, where er that was lit was a good-looking fellow wlin tnok up my suit case, and I later found nut that his name was Doc Eberly. I have seen him verv often since then, going between the store-room and room 20. I ' Tom what I hear I belie e the store- rooiu is his reception room and room 20 his sleeping quarters. Well, on our way to Wayne Hall we i)assed the Gymnasium, where Lloyd is not often seen; Recitation Hall, in whicli . be Mangel has made a clean record of alisences: the Library, where Leroy Brooke has important business meetings: and then, Wavne Hall. Srch a busy place. I found a fellow by the name of Somers yelling out laundry! till he had a basket- ful. A professor Ijv the name of Loose was giving orders to his assistant, Robert F. .Anderson. Frank C. McLaughlin was selling ice cream bv the gallon: McKinley Stevens was making himself look pretty before the mirror; C. Raymond Michener was putting up an art gallery of pretty girls: Tyson was trying to keep his chum, Jake Schrope, under go;ul behaviour: Herbert Diehl wasn ' t doing anything; Abe Mangel was arguing about nothing; Jack Hemmig w-as talkmg basketljall ; Xeal was getting into all sorts of mischief, and Meckley was trying to look like a hard guy. I found that a serious malady had already struck the place. It goes by the name of caseology, and has only been outwitted by Tvson, who fails to take any of its symptoms. It strikes some fellows real funn - : so:netimes their pocket- hooks, especially around reunions and the like. With some it furnishes two weeks ' vacation ; with others the filling out of a line in Dr. Philiiw autograph album, and with others, pure insanity. It is a serious matter. Even Study Hall boys, including Paige and Carey, have fallen victims. Now, Dad, I think I have said enough. No, I am not homesick, l)ut iu-t a little bit anxious to see you soon. . ffectionatelv.

H. use, State Normal School, West Chester, Pa. Executed by -Attorney Pe. rl H. J. cobs. WITNESS : • Page 238 SERPENTINE 1914 NE of the most beautiful weddings of the season was solemnized on the twenty-first of February, 1914, when Miss l. A. F. was united in marriage to ( Miss ) V. M. R. Promptly at midnight, to the strains of Lohengrin ' s ' edding March, the bridal party entered the spacious and Ijeautiful corridor in the north wing of Main Building. The bride, leaning on the arm of her father (Miss) E. R, W., was met at the altar (of cushions) bv the groom and his be l man (Miss) I. R. She was attended by her maid of honor. Miss H. D. M., and a little flower girl. Miss C. M. L. The impressive ring ceremony was performed by the grave Father F. R. The silence was broken only by the sobbing of the bride ' s mother. Miss P. H. J. After the solemn words had been pronounced, the bridal party repaired to the home of Miss B. G., where a delicious wedding breakfast was served. For effect, the dining-room was dark, the only light being received from a small bulb shining through the transom. The following day, amid a shower of rice, the bride and groom went to the library for a short honeymoon. The simplicitv of the whole affair w ' as most effective. The bride wore a most charming .gown, embroidered and trimmed in point de Paris lace over which was draped a lace (curtain) veil. The bride ' s mother w ' ore a becoming gown of liink and blue crepe meteor. The maid of honor was gowned in pink and wliite, while the little flower girl looked charming in her white frock with blue sash and hair ribbon. Only the immediate friends and relatives of the contracting parties w ere pres- ent. All were disajipointed that Miss M. E. W. and M. M. D., cousins of the bride, were unable t(.) attend, and the while party seemed incomplete without Miss Groome, while Miss Cropsy arrived a little late, just as the last guests were taking their departure. C. M. Lewis. a-re o-ne I9I4 SERPENTINE Page 2 g (Mass fropliwg IX THE depot of one of our large cities of the Central West stood a yonng man. in his natnral. unassuniino- man- ner, McKinley H. Stevens ( ?) waiting for a train which was to carry him to his new liekl of labor in Washington. .McKinley had chosen engineering for his profession, and was now in the employment of the Central Pacific R. R., as its chief engineer, and was going west to further the plans of the company. Never did he expect to meet anyone here whom he would know, but, to his great surprise, he met Miss Mav Hunter, the Assistant business manager of the Serpentine of 1914, who is on her way to assume the duties of assistant superintendent of the Chicago schools. Boarding a train together, and glancing over an early nurning newspaper, they see in bold head lines the name of the (jovernnient ' s new ap]3ointment as head of the Forestry Bureau of the U. S. — W. Leroy Brooke. Then began a lengthy and interesting conversation about the Normal School life at West Chester, which ended ten years ago, and of the loyal members of the class of 1914. They tell me, ventured the engineer, that Mr. Loose is now owner and manager of a larg ' e engraving estal)lishment in Philadelphia, and that no long ' er is there any trouble to the business manager of the Serpentine, at West Chester, as there was in our days, in securing the engraver ' s work: for he is doing the engravings for the school to the entire satisfaction of all. A short time ago, continued Miss Hunter, I happened to be spending an afternoon in a public library in a small Pennsylvania city, and happened to pick out a volume of Mr. Schultz ' s poems. They were, as usual, a very interesting and valuable collection, and I enjoyed them immensely. Mr. Schultz is now preparing to receive his Doctor ' s degree from a imiversity. He is still writing and becoming more popular as a teacher and lecturer, which is only typical of his early work, iiresented in the form of the 1914 Class Book. It seems strange how well we can rememljer some persons and their doing ' s at Nurmal School, but ' . be ' Mangel ' s name is always suggestive to me when some one mentions 1914, as the one ty])ical person for opinions — opinions mostly of himself. Mien ' Abe ' left West Chester, he was undecided between law and agriculture for his life work, but law being mure congenial to a gentleman of good taste, he chose it, and to-day. with F. C. McLaughlin, his lifelong friend, is enjoying a very lucrative practice in Wilkes-Barre. The party now turns over the pages of the paper, one by one, discussing all of the |)ersons with whdui they were ac- (fuainted. ' Jake ' Schrope, I understand, said Mr. Stevens, is now a mining engineer, and 1 l)elie e that he will be Page 240 SERPENTINE 1914 successful, for he was always in sympathy with mining. Whenever Jake ' got into an argument, he would cite the miner as his first proof. Jake ' could talk mining at all times, and even spoke of it in his sleep. Ralph Eberly is an attorney in Lebanon, and the last I heard of him was that he enjoys the work very much, and is meeting with success. Josiah Tyson is a minister in one of the large and wealthy congregations of Philadelphia. The sporting page in the paper at last comes to view, and there the party finds that Roy Paige, the Varsity baseball captain of 1914 at West Chester, was managing the Los Angeles club of the Pacific League, and was meeting with grand success. Roy was considering offers hum various major league baseball clubs to manage an eastern team for the com- uigseasnn. ' T )o you know, Mr. Stevens, that I have often thought of Roy and Helen, wtindering what had become of them. Why, liidn ' t you receive an announcement? Say, when you come to think of it, our class is making the goods talk. Look at ' Bee ' Greenburg, in New York. She is doino- a great work there. Why, man, she has all Fifth Avenue interested and working for the people of the slums. The girls used to speak about Myrtle Detwiler waiting for a sailor laddie, and the last news I had of her was that she was waiting for his return from his last trip. Ann Entriken is now in the agricultural college at , where she has charge of the balanced ration department. Why, isn ' t ' Mike ' Somers in an agricuUure college near there? That ' s so. Now I see why Ann wanted to go there to teach. Why. ' Mike ' is in the same college, having charge of the chemistry department. I hear they are buth making good, too. Do you know. Miss Hunter, that I had the biggest surprise several days ago. I was going from Pittsburgh to To- ledo, and becoming quite tired, I walked out to the observation platform, and whom do you suppose I saw? Our old friends, Lloyd and Torch. They told me they were going to North Dakota, but I didn ' t wish to be the third party, so I did not get full particulars. I was in Scranton, visiting, this summer. Mary Vought, Mary Leno.x. and Beulah Edwards have charge of a large playground there. They have been trying new methods in the work, and they like it very much. Several of our girls have gone west. Ruth Kerr is helping manage a large ranch in New Mexico, and isn ' t the militant we thot she would be. Where is your room mate, . nn Zebley ? Oh, Anne is teaching in Delaware. She was instrumental in having the whipping post abandoned. You know we used to hear of it in Current Events Class. .• nd I suppose you have heard of Elsie Godman and Ada Cooper. Ever since they left Normal School they have endeavored to win fame in the literary world, and at last, I understand, they have suc- ceeded. Elsie has published a l)ook recently, and it has been received almost universally.. A few days ago I met P ' rances Bull. I suppose you remember her. She was always an ardent Y. W. C. A. worker. I9I4 SERPENTINE Page 241 She told me that she was un her way. as State organizer of New York. t(_) establish the Y. W. C. A. in the Saratoga State Normal School. And I had a great surprise when I heard of the Commission (iovernment in Allentown. with two 1914 people as mem- bers of the commission. I suppose you remember Anna Kern and Miriam Smith. They have .done wonderful work for Allentown, simply reforming everything, and are being considered for re-election. That Allentown bunch was a great combination, one long to be remembered. Emma Maury has recently api eared in Grand Opera in New York, and Lucy Kistler is conducting a ' Teachers ' Novelty Shop ' in Trenton, N. J. A young friend of mine a short time ago was considering various Girls ' Preparatory Schools, and consulted me in regard to the matter. I had to confess that I was not so well posted in regards to preparatory schools. She had the cata- logues of a great number of schools. I began to investigate the courses in each school, and naturally looked over the list of faculty in each catalogue. In one I found the name of Pearl H, Jacobs as principal of the school, and after knowing that, I had very li ttle trouble in selecting a school for the girl. Since that I have had some interesting letters from Pearl. She tells me that she enjoys the work, and is conducting the school successfully. Chicago then draws near at hand, and the party has to be Ijroken up, after a most enjoyable .norning on the cars, with best wishes to, and fond memories for, the members of the 1914 class. John A. Kinneman, Ethel Bratton, Mildred Fink. Page 242 SERPENTINE 1914 (Elasfi itarg Sept.
