ARCHIVF.c; ?1 y 191B lEStJllkj UR task is completed. For two years we have struggled and climbed the rugged sides of the mountain and now we have reached the summit and see partly what fortune has in store for us. ' Twas indeed a small ' ' Gleam that lured us on, but now it appears as a great sun to light up the future. (§ With anxious hearts, we, the members of the class of 1916, present this book, the purpose of which is to portray something of our struggles and pleasures, for it is the product of the artistic hands of some ; the alert, active minds of others, and the interest and encouragement of our friends, along with good honest work on part of the staff. To those who turn to this book that they may have their memories refreshed, we hope it will prove to be a source of joy and pleasure. Of those who read its pages with the eye of the critk we beg of you not to think our jokes are out of bounds or our literary style is crude. The criticism is yours. Proceed.

GREENWALD WHO HAS ADDED MUCH TO THE INSPIRATION AND ENJOYMENT OF OUR SCHOOL LIFE, WE, THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTEEN, DEDICATE OUR BOOK OF MEMORIES AS A TOKEN OF SINCERE REGARD Pagp 6 Herbert A. Greenwald Page 7 HE SERPENTINE Department of Chemistry State Normal School, West Chester, Pa. T is universally the custom to try to discover in the face of the infant traces of resemblance to one or both parents This is an unconscious recognition of a phase of a great biological truth. Each individual inherits from genera- tions of ancestors all the physical traits, and mental and moral peculiarities which constitute his distinct personality. Therefore, in a study of the life of an individual, any true conception must take into account the hereditary factors incident to parentage, place of birth, and opportunity for mental and spiritual growth which so potently determine what the man is. In treating a personage of such pronounced personality as Professor Herbert Greenwald, it is itally important to hold these facts of universal law in mind. Professor Greenwald ' s father, Henry (jriinwald, is a nati e of Hesse-Darmstadt, who was brought ti_) .America by his widowed mother when but fourteen years old. After two years residence in .Kmerica the mother died, and Henry was compelled to shift for himself. It is from such sturdy German stock, planted in . merica under adversity, that the subject of this sketch has drawn his parentage. His mother, Etta Griin- wald (Etta Hansen), is a natixe of . meri ca, but of Danish parentage from Schleswig. Herbert Greenwald was born in Moorestown, Xew Jersey, . ugust 14, 1881, his present home. His education began in the common schools of that town. He graduated from the Moorestown High School in 1897. Immediately after graduation he entered the Trenton Normal School to prepare himself to teach, and was graduated from that school in 1901. I- ' or the next two years he taught in ungraded schools in several New Jersey counties. During this time he devoted his spare time and vacation periods to completmg his preparation for college. He graduated from Rutgers ' College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1909. It is worthy of emphasis that Mr. Greenwald earned his way through college and at the end of his Freshman year, after all his expenses had CLASS NINETEEN SIXTEEN 1 een paid, he passed into the Sophomore class without conditions, and had l)een al)le to save some of his eaniing s toward his second year ' s ex- penses. We venture to say that this is an example of thrift not fre- quently met at Rutger ' s or any other American school. In college Mr. Cjrcenwald took full advantage of e ery form of oi portunity. He won the English prize for the best essay on The Life of Abraham Lincoln, and also a prize in Logic, offered for the most scholarly dissertation on Kant ' s Critique on Pure Reason. Since the completion of his colleg ' e course Professor Greenwald has taught science and mathematics in the High School at Roselle Park, Xew Jersey, and in a Xight School at Newark, Xew Jersey. He spent one year in residence at the Graduate School of the University of Pennsyh ' ania in the Department of Chem- istry. He became head of the Department of Chemistry at the West Chester Xornial School in the Spring term of iQi.v Professor Greenwald is a man of strong physique, a hard worker and a dilig ' ent scholar. Whenever his duties as a teacher leave any time for diversion, he may be found at his desk with lexicon, engaged in reading some German work on the physical side of chemistry, which he. as an un- dergradute at Rutger ' s, selected as a field for iiis life ' s work: or, it may be, in fretting over the innate cussedness of inanimate matter, when his test-tubes go wrong. In mind and temperament he is essentiallv mathematical and scien- tific. His science is a source of real soul-satisfaction to him. The dirt and drudge of the laboratory are merely incidental to the great aim — the acquisition of deeper insight into the more secret operations of na- ture. Prof. Greenwald is a man of virile, aggressive personality. Con- troversy and disputation are the very breath of life to him. and a friendly argument is more pleasant than his after-dinner cigar. As a teacher he is conscientious and thorough. Though austere of exterior, he has a warm, true heart which is easilv hurt. In his class room he tries never to lose sight of the goal at which he aims — the turn- ing of each pupil toward true scholarship as he sees it. He possesses an interesting method of presentation as well as an interesting personality, and olrtains a good response from all who are scientifically minded. Probably unqualified advocates of the present-dav tendency in education to make all instruction practical first, and scientific afterward, will style him a fogy formalist. He has very scant patience with this type of view, and denounces many of the more recent text-books in science violently. He believes that all education mu.st have its foundation in clearlv demon- strated and thoroughly understood principles, definitions and laws as its first phase; as its second phase there is the application of these to human needs. Page 10 HE SERPENTINE Prof. Greenwald is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and of the American Chemical Society, the meetings of which lie attends very regularly- Of pure Teutonic parentage, Prof. Greenwald possesses all the char- acteristics of the race which, for a hundred years, has led the world ' s ad- vance socially, educationally and .scientifically. All who come into closest relationship and contact with him appreciate him as a man of great possibilities, with great, full heart, strong mind, and strong de - termination to win in life ' s race at any cost of hardship or sacrifice. Our most earnest hope is that success may crown his endeavo. ' s in every line he may enter. J. Fr. nk Newman.

Literature expresses the same high and noble thoughts in words, whereas history, by holding before us examples of what men have done, inspires us to emulate them. It is science, however, that has made the products of our artistic co-laborers accessible to the masses. Note the decrease in the cost of travel and transpcjrtation. Note the ach ' ance in color photography and printing, in bookmaking, in talking machines, and in motion pictures. These are the agencies that acquaint man with the beautiful, the in- spiring. However, j efore a man can be cii rapport with art, literature and the co-called humanities, he must be in the proper physical and mental con- dition. There have always been a few, who, either through ability or a combination of circumstances, have been able to acquire the necessities of life with comparatively little effort, so that they have been able to spend a large surplus of their time and energy putting themselves in such physical and mental condition that thev could respond to these in- fluences. On the other hand the masses have not been so favorablv situated. It is to them that science is extending a helping hand. It puts them in a ] osition to stand spirituallv on the same level with the fa ored tenth by facilitatinig the acfjuisition of the necessities of life, therein ' releasing a larger surplus of their time and energy for the acquisition of the extra mundane. Of course science cannot guaran- tee that this suri)Ius will be disposed of, so as to realize tlie nljject. That remains for the individual to decide. It places the instrument in his hands. He can use it for good or for ill. However, this is certain : without the instrument no good can be accomiJlished. Scientists have been criticised for their materialism. The - have been called, sometimes, foes of the spirit. This criticism has been made, of course, by those outside the pale of science. As a matter of fact, scientists have done more to release the masses from the do- Page 13 CLASS NINETEEN SIXTEEN niiiiiun of the niundanu than the direct advocates ol the sijirit. Besides freeing- tliein fr(jiii the atrophying effects of routine labor, scientists have made the punisliment of wickedness and vice t|uicker and more certain. Edison, for instance, did more to stop crime when he invented his dynamo and incandescent !am]) than lialf the preachers of the country put together. Not that we think less of the preachers, but tliat we think more of Edison. But scientists ha ' e done more than nierelx inhiljit evil: they have given a method of accomjilishing a result. The extensi -e application of the scientific melliod, which in essence is nothing more than the applica- tion of mathematics, is so patent that we need stop no longer on that subject. Besides they have set an example. The subordination of the in- di ' idual to the masses without su])pression finds its most numerous ex- amples in science and will continue to do so. Unknown the scientist works in his laboratory performing a thousand experiments l)efore he succeeds, ' fhe public know nothing of the days, the weeks, the years, — it took von Baeyer 15 years to synthesize indigo — when unmerciful dis- aster followed faster, followed faster. ' fhey know, if at all, only of suc- cesses. The .scientist has not the commendation nor the condemnation of the many to encourage him. An unshaken faith in his methods, in his ideals, in that Power, whose manifestation he in -estigates. alone holds him to his task. Finally, and most important, the student of science is reared in an atmosphere of orderliness and theism. Chance and atheism find no jilace here. Given certain antecedents and conditions, definite conclusions must follow. This ])rinciple holds for the microcosmos as well as for the macrocosmos. Moreover it does not ]3revent the exercise of prayer and imagination : it simplv makes both more onlerh ' . Do they lose any of their 1)eauty or effecti ' eness thereb} ' ? Are they not really enhanced? Are not the beautiful and the effective, in their final analysis, essentially orderliness ? Even when apparently most iconoclastic, is not science con- structive? Does it not destroy one system of consistencies, only to substi- tute a wider, a deei er, a more spiritual order? Then let us welcome this age of science, not as the inevitable which nuist be endured, but as the greatest means this world has yet ex- perienced for uplifting mankind, not only materially, but spiritually.

Yes, from a child, Harriet has been fond of Jacks. We fear this childish fondness may lead her to rashly change the name which has served her so well these many years. Nevertheless Peggy never lets her pleasures interfere with her work. Stick-to- it-iveness, well, she has tliat and plenty of it, especially when letter writing is the work on hand. She is an active member of the Moore Literary Society, has cut out slang, goes to church every Sunday, drinks coffee, but doesn ' t smoke. Her favorite study is psycho- logy, while her favorite means of passing the time away, as above stated, is playing with Jacks and writing letters. The outlook for Harriet ' s future is very favorable, and to this we want to add our best wishes for her success. Moore lu.lzATiETTi .Vi.EXANDER. .Wilkes- r)arrc. Pa. Oh bed, I ' ll hcd. delicious bed! That ' s hcirrcii on earth to the slcefv head. When you see Betty you might say of the tall, slender person: My, how quiet and sedate — not so, my friend. But when she speaks she wins you and in the same sweet, ' winnin.g way she won the pupils in Model Scliool to her. Her cliief delights (?) are getting up early and going to church, also taking long walks into the country to places of local interest. Perfectly harmless. The old maxim, Day is the time for work, night is the time of rest, and other things is held sacred by Betty, for she can accomplish wonders in the acquisition of knowledge dur- in.g her study periods Betty will succeed we know, especially if she applies all she learned in her favorite subject — psychology.

After graduating here, Mary expects to teach, but how long it is not safe to say; it is the same old story — teach a few years and then enter upon some other line of educational activity. We believe she will make a very good school teacher when she conies in possession of a school-room of her own. Aryan Evelyn E. Ansteadt. .York, Pa. Although Ebbs is very fond of bright col- ors, she must fight shy of them because of the brilliant hue of her locks. But never mind, we would .give up our brilliant colors for a little share of that halo of gold. She is very fond of mathematics and thinks she will enjoy teaching them. But something more dear to her heart (?) is an ambition to become ruler of her own dominion in a little red school house on the hill (Harmony Hill). Ebbs has a disposition which does ncjt usually go with red hair, but she has been given a niischievious spirit, in- stead of a hot temper. .She gets all that ' s coming to her in the way of teasing. We know she will win all the success that we wish her. Moore Page 55 ELizATiETii Atkinson .. Mullica Ilili, X. J, Neatness Is her crowniiij virtue. Here is Jcanette ' s twin! Elizabetli is a very CDiiscientious girl, and, although she is not a Poler, she wouldn ' t tliink of Roing to class without knowing something about the lesson, and she takes a special interest in Do- mestic Science. Sometimes we wonder what she really intends to do. Yes, she is going to teach school, but she highly approves of Young Marriages. Sometimes we find her day-dreaming and our Vigilance Committee discovered that she has a mysterious Friend, George. When Elizabeth first came to the Normal, two years ago, we were afraid she would not stay, for she could not find the bed, and she declared she would not sleep on the floor; but she soon learned the ways of Nor- mal life. Elizabeth does not come from a High School, but is a graduate of Eden Hall. She has proved the best of companions, dur- ing her school life and we wi li her good luck in her future career.

She has the earnest wish of us all for success and happiness in her chosen pro- fession. Moore Mildred Barrett West Chester, Pa. Mildred Barrett, otherwise known as Middy, entered the Normal two years ago, after she had completed a four years ' course at the West Chester High School. While there she was a t|uiet studious girl and had a high standing in her class. During the time she has been at the Normal, she has kept up her good reputation, her favorite studies be- ing history and sociolo.gy. We are all posi- tive that she will make a good and efficient teacher. Mary E. I ' .artges S]iriiis Mills, Pn, NcTcr nil idle mnmcnt. but llinflv , m thoii litful of nlhcrs.

She is very industrious, never shirks a duty, and is kind and obliging to all. We know this, because had it not been for Mary, the costumes in our Indian play would not have been such a success, as she made most of them. She expects to teach until she is pensioned, but if we all knew her as did her last year ' s chum, we probably would change our minds. V. ' . C. . . Moore Mll.IlRED , . B.

Sometimes she drives her friends to distrac- tion by attempting to converse with them in this beloved language, and no matter whether any other lesson is prepared she always knows her Deutsch. It is not strange then that her favorite expression should ' be Mein Herz! We wonder whether the affliction is serious. However, she is alive to other sub- jects and has been heard to talk at length on the advantages of school teaching, woman suffrage and other topics of interest. She is always happy and carefree, except when con- fronted by a problem in arithmetic. We wish her success. Moore Florence F. B.arwig Olyphant, Pa. ■■Billy Boy.- As merry as the day is loii ;.

Grannnar seems t be her favorite subject, but we find that slie takes a great interest in manual trainin. , especially reed work. Polly declares she is very fond of exer- cise, yet it is almost impossible to persuade her to visit the .gym. She seems to be our right hand girl, for she is sure to help you out of all difficulties.

If she develops ihis talent she will be an accomplished singer in the future. . n ever prominent characteris- tic of Skinny is the curl of her hair.

All studies appeal to her with equal interest, althougli Virgil seems to occupy most of her time. Strange to say, domestic science d(jes not appeal to her. Since her practice teaching proved such a suc- cess and pleasure, our fears have been an- nulled, although we know she is still fond of auto-mo-biUl)-ing. Elva is very fond of reading, and. if needed, she could always be found in the library reading agricultural magazines or the daily news. The class of igi6 wishes her all possible success. Aryan Sara M. Bloom Mt. Carnicl, Pa. Sal. Smile a siiiilc. and ' a ' lulc you smile an- other smile, and soon there ' s miles and miles of smile, and life ' s worth ' a ' hile beeanse von smile. Wherever Sal goes she is sure to bring s mshine and laughter. All applications for this delightful commodity should be present- ed at joo during study hour. But Sara is able to do other things besides smile. She is a good student and has won a record for herself in athletics. Her interest in all literary and school matters and her popularity here promise a brilliant future for her where ever she goes. Aryan iJoLOKEs W. BoRDNER. .. .Shenandoah, Pa. Dodo. Dolores is one of the Shenandoah bunch which fact partly explains her garrulous manner. Almost any time ol day (be- tween seven . . M. and eleven P. M.) her voice may be heard on fourth floor annex, giving her version of some subject, her hobby being Woman Sufifrage. She is especially in- terested in camp life and eats. Her favorite study is history. Dodo declares that her goal is old- maidenhood but we are inclined to doubt this statement by her love of the sentimental and her ever-increasin.g interest in domestic arts. Success to you, girlie in all the undertak- in.gs of your college career and al ' ter life. Aryan Pa ' ' c 62 Joshua H. Boucher. Tvk-i- Hill. Pa. In Jiisli ue have another of those few but vakiable representative from the county of rocks and hills — Wayne. After havin.ij had a useful four years ' course in a first- grade high school at Dainascu.s, this young man, full of zeal and hope to become a Prof, came to the Normal in which school he has spent two successful years of faithful work. Althou. h Josh has not rushed thiiiRs in athletics, he has ever been a loyal rooter, notwithstanding the fact that he often tests the royal fans by playing disloyal. Any one is worthy a reward if he can prove that he has seen this lad pass even a half-hour without smiling. And this smile is for every- one, although possibly caused by some one, of whom we are ignorant. Y. M. C. A. Moore Leonia p. Bpyn Martin ' s Creek, Pa.

She always has a decided opinion on everything even if it is only a yes. She never says, I don ' t know. Her one frivolous diversion is dancing, and, as at other thin.gs, she is a master at it. As soon :is Leonia hears music, she forgets all but the wonderful rhythm — especially of Ber- nice ' s phony graph. Now, all this may lead you to believe that Leonia is a prissy. Not much and far from it. You should see her when she has a crazy streak, as she calls it; she can be anythin.g from Brid.get to Madam Un- pronounceable, the famous singer. Aryan Marian Page Branson.. West Chester, Pa. Pudgie. Perseverance ' u ' iiis success. Marian Branson, popularly known as Pudgie, was always a great favorite at High School as she is at the Normal. She gradu- ated from the West Chester High School where she won fame along the lines of decla- mation. In her Junior year she won first prize in a declamation contest and in her senior year she olaved the role of Maria in Twelfth Night. Her chief delight is to apologize and tell a joke, leaving out the point. Besides all this, Marian is an excellent student and enjoys her studies. She took up several university courses and is a member of the Educational .Association. Aryan Page 63 Mekai.da I. Bkennan . . . . Slienaiuloali. Pa. To Shenandoah are we indebted for this maiden with the deep brown eyes. Meralda come to us in tl.e Fall of ' 14. and since that lime has won many friends by her cheery smile and willingness to help others. She has distinKuished herself in all of her studies but excells as a linguist, and we expect to hear g;reat things from her in the future along this line. One of her greatest accoin- plishnients is talking and you can hear her most any time of the day expressing her views on all of the current topics of the hour. She is an ardent suiTragette and is ever ready 1(1 argue for the cause. May success be yours in all of y(jur under- takings, is our most earnest wish. Moore Myrna Electa BiiOCKLEY. . .Hanover, Pa. Myrna is another of our class from the Hanover High School having landed here two years ago. She at once took a great liking (?) to the place especially our Nor- mal Hospital, preferring to remain there while her roommates went to Camden, N. J., and Philadelphia. She is not very tall, has light hair and blue eyes. She is of a cheery disposition and is always willing to help all she can. Her favorite study is nature study, although she is not lacking in the knowledge of any of our other numerous subjects. She also took the University Course in sociology. She never violated any rules here, but ask her what the expression, The way of the transgressor is hard, suggests to her. We know of very few faults of hers and are sure she will be a very successful teacher. Aryan Saka p. Buuml , West Grove. Pa. Sarie ' He haf qucstiouctli iiiiiiii icill lairn much. Slap! Bang! Knock!

But with all these faults Sara is a good student. A.gri- culture is her favorite studv, a fact she makes clearly evident by constant inciuiries i nto the whys .and wherefores of the subject This is the other of the Saries who gradu- ated from Coatesville High School and has been a member of the igi6 class for two years. She is always happy, in fact, I think her motto is. East, drink and be merry, and she carries it out faithfullv. Here ' s to Sara, a true friend, an earnest student and a good all-around girl. Y. W.

She canu to the Normal from the West Chester High School, class of 1914. She is full of fun ami mischi ef and delights in pla.ying harmless jokes upon every one whom she knows. Her friends declare that she will be a lashionalile modiste in some future day, if her efforts in that line continue. Brownie ' s friends don ' t know what they would have done without her if she had not come up from the South. Aryan IuJZ. RETH Bl ' ch. n. n .... Johnstown, Pa. Betts B stands for Buchanan, Elizabeth so de- mure, who starts the list of the flood relics. Betts, from childhood, was reckoned as a jjrodigy and she has fulfilled this idea in the subject of agriculture and her favorable mental altitude toward the Rural School Problem. She is usually quiet and suc- ceeds in .getting her nineties and ninety-fives witliout wearing out her books, or burning the midnight candle. Elizabeth is on her way to making a good teacher. We must says Betts is neat and coquettish and real- ly won ' t have long to instruct the ignorant. Her favorite sport is taking long morning walks to Go forth under the open sky and list to — Her favorite expression is by hunk and her hobby is teaching music, when written in F Sharpe. Moore Anna C. Buschh. usen LaPorte, Pa. Bashiil describes Iter. But still ivatcr riDis deep. Having outwitted Mansfield, Anna came to us this year to have some fun in Phillie, as she expressed it. Billy, as she is often call- ed, is a great pedestrian, but she never tells with whom she takes her walks, yet we have our suspicions. She is very fond of nature study as the results of her walks, and she is also a star in mathematics (?). Whenver in doubt she consults her masculine friend, the brilliant one from Villa Nova. Oh, how she hates those meals we get, and consequently lives on the never ending supply of salvation. On account of her excellent work in tin- Model School, Anna expects to join the teachers ' army after leaving here. Page 65 Flokence Bush Montrose, Pa. Flossie Though Floss hails from frigid Susc|ue- liaiina county, she is one of those ever studi- ous Montrose High School graduates. Flossie has distinguished herself for two things since her arrival at the Normal School, namely, her great sleeping powers, and her ever-ready assistance to a non-mathe- matician. This young dame ' s characteristic modesty prevents her from telling some of her former experiences; the only clue is her favorite words, O, Pete! Her chief de- light was to get started in the new course of study which would include domestic science. Still waters run deep. so the saying goes, and this may truly be applied to Floss. Aryan Jeanne Byroade. .Johnstown, Pa. Jeanne Byroade is among the .group oi girls who comes to us from Johnstown. Billie ' s hobby is to go callin.g among the girls. She really likes to study, her chief aim being to pass geometry, but the desire to visit in other rooms is so temptin,g that many evenings she buzzes out at seven o ' clock and does not return to her room until her eyes fall on a clock and she cries out, Oh, is it that late? To many Billie seems quiet and backward, but you have only to know her and learn that she is a jolly and entertain- ing girl. If Billie ' s name were Wishie, it would characterize her better and if wishes came true she will not always teach school. Aryan H. Beatrice Caley West Chester, Pa. Bee Bcncatli this mild c.vtcrior tlicrc is n deal of miscliicf. Beatrice, bette r known to us by far as Bee, came to us two years ago from the West Chester High School. She thought of being a teacher of lan.guage while there, but on coming to us has changed her mind and instead she will be a teacher of arithmetic and hi.gher mathematics. Bee is not only an excellent student but a distinguished athlete as well. The last ruinor has it. she will be Mrs. Ehinger ' s assistant in the gym. next year. She would never think of ba.gging a gym. class on Monday afternoon. Yet, isn ' t it strange she can be seen at .vit anv Monday afternoon .going north on Church street.

Indeed, w-e are afraid that she will be recalled to take Professor Greenwald ' s po- sition, unless otherwise engaged, for she says she may teach. Our Ec leaves us with a host of friends, and we all wish her liapjiiness in whatever she does. Moore Helen M. C. kkoli Tovvanda, Pa. Rusty Silence is golden with Rusty. She never argues with a person unless she is sure of being in the right. She came to us three years ago from Towanda, the spot of per- fect scenery, and since then she has proven herself to Ije one of whom we are proud to call a classmate. She believes in working when there is work to be done, but she never fails to find a pleasure or some fun in everything she does. Her favorite subjects are Virgil and .Agriculture. We feel sure that some one will learn of and admire her excellent qualities and relieve her of her profession. Here ' s success to you, Old Rusty. Moore Fr. nces H. Cas.sidv Kirkwood, Pa.

During her stay with us she has won many friends and belongs to the portion of the class that well might go to make up a sunshine club. Frances is fond of playing jokes and has never taken anything serious but the mumps. She stands as one of the foremost in the class. She has a love for Latin and in chem- istry her light seems to shine. She holds Longfellow as her favorite poet and is es- pecially fond of reading The Courtship of Miles Standish. We are confident of her success and we wish her well. Y. W. C. A. Page 67 Aryan MAKiiARET A.

Perhaps mathematics is her favorite study, as is shown by her record in solid geometry. Quickness of action is one of Peg ' s characteristics and is especial- ly displayed on school mornings about eight- thirty. Peg hopes to see the time when women will vote, for she believes it is their light and perhaps will be able to inHuence her community in that direction. Aryan Maude Chai.fant Atglcn. Pa. Hi7 ' ' v am 1. from care I ' m free; U ' liv aren ' t tliev all content like mc? This chatter-box, after graduating from the Atglen High School, decided to come to the Normal to learn how to live without working. While here she has been very stu- dious (?) and her spare time has been spent in crocheting, and teaching others the latest novelties along this line. Saturdays and Sun- days are rarely spent here. Probably there is a reason. Maud is no happier than when she is talking. If you want a good yarn or a good laugh she always has an abundant sup- ply on hand. There is one very commend- able trait about Maude ' s everlasting chatter- ing and that is, she is perfectly Frank about everything. Y. W. C. A. Aryan Helen H. Chamiiers Bristol, Pa. This tall, slender, dark-eyed Miss joined our circle in the fall of ' i.s, after a most suc- cessful year of teaching. Hel ' n possesses sterling qualities known to all her friends. She is always happy, cheery and truly an optimist. Although a conscientious student, she is ever willing to join in the funny, side of the life about her. She is extremely fond of mathematics. Helen is interested in Bristol for more reasons than one, for although she attemept- cd to prove the opposite, frequent letters, about which she is deeply concerned, show us that after all she is no man-hater. Her love for children and pleasing per- sonality assure her success in her chosen profession. May happiness greet you all the days of your life. Aryan Page 68 T.ii.i CiiAMiiERS Clnvton. I )rl.

Eva has been with us two years and one term and in that time has made a fine record for herself. She shines in geometry hO much that during her Senior year she gave private lessons in it. But that is not all: Eva is a fine student and shows her tact in all her work. She has taught four years, but one would hardly think it. This is because she decided to be a school marm while rather young. With an everj ' ready desire to laugh and a cheery disposition, Eva makes and keeps many friends. To brighten the world at large is one of her ambitions. She has an innocent look, but beware; looks are some- times deceiving. She doesn ' t have those big brown eyes for nothing. V. M. C. A. Aryan Gertrude S. Cliffton. .Spring Hou.se, Pa. Gertrude, after graduating from Cedar Hill School and . ' mbler High School, joined the ranks of this famous c ' ass of igi6 two years ago. She, although you would never know it, is older than her sister — just how much we won ' t tell. Gertrude is very quiet and unpretentious, and is qnite fond ot books, zoology being her pet study. Don ' t think she studies all the time. No, indeed! Just ask her what novel she is reading, or what piece of fancy work she is embroider- ing; you will be surprised at the answer you receive. Gertrude ' s favorite sport is skat- ing, and she thinks nothing of getting up early, perhaps to receive a thorough drench- ing because of thin ice. We all wish the greatest of success to Gertrude in her chosen profession, which we do not believe will be her life work. Moore Page 69 N ' loi.ET S. Ci-iFFTON. . . .Sjjriiig; Hmise, Pa. Vi came to us fr(im Aniblcr High SchcKjl. Although she greatly enjoys Nor- mal life, we often see her eagerly pouring Mver the calendar counting the days and weeks until the next vacation. Her black eyes are always sparkling with fun and her lips are ever ready to smile. Those of us who know her appreciate her many jokes and quiet humor. She never seems to know the time of day, for her favorite expression is Good Night. which she says at any time, no matter what time it really is. Life never worries Violet, but ebbs away smoothly and i|uickly. We hardly know what to prophesy for her future, but we scarcely think that the school mar ' m ' s bonds will hold her long. Perhaps some day she will be housekeeper for two in a small home of her own. Moore Etta Cohen Mt. Carmcl, Pa. Ettie First in zvar, first in peace, and first in the hearts of her classmates. This is Ettie, the good all-round mem- ber of the class. She was well-known throughout her two years here by her will- ingness to help people out of difficulties and her sunny disposition which has been an in- spiration to many of us. She intends teaching mathematics after graduation and in this we are sure she will ' be successful, as she has already proven her ability along this line. Aryan Winifred Collins Canton, Pa. Our Fritz. Who does not know her? Here, there, everywhere, but in her room! No doubt, she is destined to become a great societv belle. Ah, me! What a pity to waste real charcter on society. However, she is of the type that soon adjusts itself so that she will probably become as popular there as she has elsewdiere (particularly with the males). Speaking of mails. Yes, Fritz, you got some mail. Here ' s a letter from Canton, a letter from Chicago (University), a letter from State, a letter from Philly and from old New York, a letter from Cornell, a letter from Cork — and a letter from State. Before answering any of these in the affirma- tive, remember Winifred, that you have jiromised to teach tv«3 years for Pennsyl- ania. We wonder how long you will teach for the State.

She may be called a member of the Cheer One-Another Club. She takes an active interest in everything pertaining to the class and especially in ath- letics. The way she sticks to ner man (in basket ball) is characteristic of Jean, for she sticks to everything until it is ' done to the best of her ability. She is one of the most faithful workers in the Y. W. C. A. She is very sensible on the subject of men, but may often hear her say Now, wouldn ' t that jar you? We hope Jean will teach in the primary grades, as she has a wmning way with children, as well as with .grown ups. Cabinet member Y. W. C. A. Aryan p M I 1 M miHr 1 WiLLi. M H.

Al- though unpretentious, his room was soon discovered to be a source of wisdom. As a result, he is often found surrounded by a l)and of youths, eager to learn the truth from his wide range of knowledge. We are sure he is a natural pedagogue, for it is not un- common for him to hold his listeners spell- bound with his oratory. In fact he is a mod- ern Socrates. His qualities are such that we predict great success in the future. Amulet stafif, Si-;uPENTiNE stafif, Pres. Boys ' Equal Suf- frage Club. Moore Mary Zii.pah Cooley. .West Pittston, Pa. Be ve stroui;. and let not your hands be slack: for your 7cork shall be reivarded. Mary Z., as her friends call her, is a quiet, conscientious girl, who loves nothing better than to study. But with all that, she is en- ergetic, as you would know if you saw her in the gym., where her country training stands here in good stead. Those of us who knew her the first year she came can see how Normal life has changed her from a reticent girl to a capable, fun-loving young woman. Mary does not let boys bother her and terms all association with them foolishness. She says she is going to be a teacher and we know she will be a good one because she is generous, kind-hearted and not satis- fied with anythin.g short of the best.

She soon. liowever, found her place in class and niche in schiMil life, and now we hear her praising Dear Old Normal, and expressing her regret at having to leave its imposing walls of green. Lillian is an inspiration to her close as- sociates, for, although Follow the Gleam is our class motto, just plain work is hers. Work is not her only aim in life, for she be- lieves in a time for recreation. In politics she is a suffragist. Her flfiw of eloquence on this subject is like Tennyson ' s Brook. Aryan Marietta Flower Coppock. . .Chester, Pa. Posy ' Marietta joined our class in the Fall of 1914. She is a .graduate of Chester High School, where she proved herself an excep- tionally good student. She is of a fun-loving disposition and her laugh (if it be one) has often brought the hall teacher to the door after ten. When anything unusual happens, Marietta may be heard to exclaim, Great day in the morn- ing! In all, she possesses the tiualities of a good teacher and we predict for her a suc- cessful future. She is especially fond of German and her one ambition is to go to Germany; we don ' t think she will go alone thiugh; just ask her about Ed., and you will be convinced that other things beside teaching are attractive. Aryan Marion G. Cosgriff. ...West Chester, Pa. Cos Marian, better known as Cos, is one of the jolly bunch of West Chester High School girls w-lio completed the course there in 1914. She has succeeded in bringing her teaching mark up to a high standard, and will un- doul)tedly gather friendships in the commu- nity into which she .goes. Cos must be given credit for the fact that she has never been absent from chapel, although she was generally three or more squares from school when the bell ran.g. Due to her witty sug- gestions there is usually a smile on the faces of her audience. Probably her favorite study is Nature, since that type of lesson seems to appeal to her most. Her success is nineteen sixteen ' s best wish. Moore Page 72 Bessie Mae Cox West Chester, I ' a. B Client h I Ills III ill! cxlrrior There lies (I (leal of mischief. Bess is one iif our West Chester girls, even though she dues hve outside of the lior- ough. She graduated from High School two years ago and while there was full of fun and very lively. At that time she was on the side of Holland, but now, since the war has begun, she seems to be neutral and every once in a while one can hear her ex- claim: Oh, Pete! so that may be the cause. Latin, English and Nature study are her favorite studies. Bess is very seldom ■ found without Bee, and together they keep the place lively. Moore [IUI, M K. Co.xE Reading, Pa. Mini Miriam, a grduate from Reading High School, came to us in the Fall of 1914. She has three great desires. One is to become a graceful dancer, the other a lady of leisure, and last, but not least, to reduce her avoirdu- pois, alth(.iugh she is not making any effort toward the latter as a great deal of her life at the Normal is spent sleeping. She gets rattled, when roused from her slumber be- fore due time, especially at ten-minute bell. Miriam delights in swimming and eating, and is always on the scene, when a box of eats arrives in Room ,sii. We do not think she is very fond of study; she would rather talk, and often her conversation drifts toward lier Sunday School teacher. We hope this pedagogue is a female, lest we lose her, before she becomes settled in her chosen life ' s work. Aryan Fr.vnk S. Cr.mg Wyoming, Del. In Frank we have a hardy scion of the Scotch race, mathematical, athletic and so- cially inclined son of the Blue Hen State. Frnnk graduated from the Wvoming High School, enlisted in our ranks and forged his way to prcjminence in .ithletics by puttmg the shot and catching the pill. He was elected Athletic Association President in his Senior year. His accuracy and earnest work, com- bined with ample avoirdupois, have made him no snnll factor in our class, especially as a football Capt. or teacher of Algebra. His many friends predict success for this young prophet, Samuel, as his middle name indicates. If it depends on our wishes, it will be yours, Frank. Member of Educa- tional Association, Y. M. C. A.

Ernie sets a lively pace among the ladies. Just watch him give his smile if you wish any pointers along this line. He is the best all-around athlete we have in the Senior Class and m the school. He is a great lover of foot ball, having been on the ' Varsity team at Millersville Normal School and at Gettysburg College, when he attended these institutions. He was greatly disappoint- ed when he found no foot ball played here: he stars in basket ball and in base ball, having been our captain for the season oi 1916. He is a very good fellow, ever willing to make a sacrifice to help a friend. His mark in teach- ing shows his ability as a teacher and he in- tends to wind up at State College in a few years.

She faithfully lives up to the name of an industrious student, especially in Nature study. It is no trouble for her to find a part- ner in helping to find entries for this subject.

Christina is another of our West Chester High School representatives. Diligent study has brought her to her present standing as a member of our class, and her jolly and sunny disposition has won her many friends at N. rmal. She has a special liking for Deutsch. but her name was the talk of the class one day, it being Das Crawford Kind; the next day Das Teufel Kind. She goes about her own affairs in her own way and seems to impart to us this message: Do as thy manhood bids thee do; I ' rom none but self expect applause; He noblest lives and noblest dies.

Marian hopes to teach for more than two years, but honk! honk! here he comes in his Tin Lizzie. Moore Marie G. Ckonin Mahanoy City, Pa. Marie is one of the many Schuylkill coun- ty girls in our class. She is a graduate of the Mahanoy City High School, class igi, . Her disposition is as clear and sparkling as a mountain stream, and her knowledge of col- lege fellows — especially of a certain one in Washington, D. C. — is as strong and con- stant as her flow of words. She is an ex- pounder of wedlock and happiness, and has a thorough knowledge of domestic science: she has its theories definitely formulated and is, herself, cut out by nature to unite and be united. She expects to teach after graduat- ing, but we feel quite safe in saying that she will not continue in this work, and life will soon be smooth ;ailing for her. Moore Viola Lae Crouthers Brooniall. Pa. Beolie Beneath this ealm exterior There lies a deal of mischief. Beolie comes, too, from Newtown Square High School, where she graduated in 191,3. To those who do not know her, she seems to be very quiet and reserved, but those qualities quickly vanish when one knows ' Beolie. Her favorite subject is Do- mestic Science. Her work in cooking and sewing were especially good and it leads us to believe that Viola will not remain long in the ranks of teachers. When Beolie ' s Gosh bin.g it! comes out, you know there is something wrong, and it would l)e best to wait awhile before approaching that young lady again.

She is a good stu- dent and seems to be especially brilliant in Philosophy and History of Ed. Perhaps there is a reason for this, but if there is. Marg does not tell, as she is fond of keep- ing things to herself. We are sure that if scjnie one would ask her where she is room- ing, the answer woi ' ld be first floor, as she is usually found in Room 48, at least, when- ever it is possible. It is expected that Marg will be a teacher nf languages and then take up agriculture, but no matter what she does she will make a success of it. Moore Marie Culliton Johnstown. Pa. - .Mutt Marie, alias Mutt. came to the Normal last year a very shy (?) little (?) Junior. She has improved, however, to such an extent that she was favored with an extra week and a hah of country school teaching. We think she will make a very successful teacher if she keeps at it. ' Marie would be studious if she were allowed to be, but talkative room- mates have robbed her of this good quality. She is another of those noted deluge city people. Marie is quite fond of athletics in the form of boxes from home. Her fav- orite dissipation is Siinon ' s ice cream; her favorite expression is Ye Gods! and her favorite studies are science and literature. Moore Evelyn Curtin Shennndoah, Pa. To know her is to lo ' c Iter. And loz ' c hilt Iter forever. There are many who will agree emphatically with this. Ev is another one of the Shen- andoah bunch. It is hard to tell which of the girls are from Shenandoah and which from Carbondale. for the girls from both places are such good pals. Ev s home . .So is the scene of many feeds. and good times as was her last year ' s home, 353- Evelyn is rather quiet, and blushes too dear for words on the slightest pretext.

Not infrequently you can hear her roommate calling her at 6..p A. M., but it takes Ruth until 7.2s to make up her mind to get up. Nevertheless, she gets to 7.4.S class, much to the surprise of her friends. No. Ruth does not spend all of her time in bed. It is evenly divided between it and the dining room, for she has a great affinity for eats. In spite of these weaknesses, she is a diligent worker and is very fond of do- mestic science. We wonder if that accounts for her ardent support of Lafayette College. Her favorite sports are skating, base ball and tennis and in the latter she will soon be a professional player. But. taking her pll in all. Ruth is a jolly and agreeable chum. Her friends all wish her the best success thrMughout her future career. Moore Nettie Dattner Luzerne, Pa.

Yet when we meet them we at once recognize them as the .u:rL-ater forces of life. As friends .md classmate s, we look upon Nettie ' s two years here as the asserting of this enigmatical force. We cannot analyze it. We simply know its force. We feel its presence in her high standard of friendship, lier calm, vet assertive manner, her refined consideration, her willing application. She speaks not in words, but in deeds. Moore Mary M. Davis Johnstown, Pa. Here ' s to Mary Davis, who comes to us from the Flood city. Some call her Curly, but she is best known to us as Div. If she is not sleeping, she is crochet- ing, and many times a knock will come to her door and a voice will say, ' Div, ' start this lace for me? Her favorite expression is Dear Me! and can be heard Liuite often when she is work- ing arithmetic (which, I might add, is her favorite study). She is very quiet and un- assuming in her manner; is frank, generous and has made a host of friends. Because of her slight stature she proves to us that choicest articles come m the smallest bundles. Wc tliink that her future will not be to teach school, but to put into practice the Do- mestic Science course learned at the Wormal Y. W. C. A. Moore George Dennison Dauphin, Pa. Shorty Stiiri-ly and Strong. This is one of out Dauphin county boys. He came here in the Spring of 191,3 from the Harrisbur.g Technical High School. He is a quiet, earnest, hard-working student. His chief study being agriculture, he is look- in.g forward to the day when he will be a specialist in this. He is very fond of skating and, although, he seems rather shy of the fair sex, we seldom see him circling the pond alone. Is he in favor of woman suffrage? Well, Buttons will tell.

This is our brown-eyed Mary. whom we love so well. Her manner is very quiet until you really know her and get a peep into her iieart. which is always ready to bubble over with joy and laughter. She is one of the SchaetTerstown girls and can tell of many a good time at home. The sad part is that it is so far away. Her liking for music is very strong and she is always sad to miss a recital, especially if the programme holds many vocal solos. Nfarv is a good student and is unusually fond of telling stories in public speaking. We wish that some day we may hear her as a great elocutionist, telling her favorite story about a littl girl, who heard some one say: May I hook your arm? We extend to her many rays of hope, that she will not forget the main part of her story on that particular ni.ght. Moore M. RG. RET M. DouGL.As Newtovvn, Pa. She is just the liap y kind. Another of our Bucks county lassies. Peggy came to us in the Fall of 1914. hav- ing graduated from the Newtown High School the preceding June. She was vale- dictorian of her class at the high school, and, naturally, when she arrived at the Normal, she kept up her diligent work. It is difficult to say what her favorite study is, but she shines in Latin and Domestic Science. Perhaps the latter will come in quite useful a few years from now. Peggy ' s vacations are .generally spent in Newtown, where she spends many happy hours rui the tennis court. At the Normal her favorite pastime is crocheting. She never expressed her opinion very strongly on the suffrage question, but we are inclined to think she was an anti. Page 79 Kathryn E. Doyle Yardley, Pa. What do I hear? A merry laugh and then I see a radiant, smiling face with dimples. Behold, ' tis Kacky. Jnst to hear her say, O, joy! sufficiently explains her sunny dis- Ijosition. Kacky joined our ranks from Yardley, where she obtained her early edu- cation. She expects to teach, but, oh, no — not long. She is always jolly, but at the same time is a faithful student, her hobby being Virgil and Mathematics. This dark- haired, blue-eyed maiden does not board in the building, so wc do not sec her as much as we desire. Her motto is eat, sleep and be merry, and she follows it out faithfully. So long, ' Kacky. ' Aryan Helen R. Drehek Hazleton, Pa. Helen, or better known among her friends as Helene, came to us from Hazel township High School. Her good nature about all things wins much favor for her. Her motto is, Duty before pleasure, which she well applies. When asked to go places, she always smilmgly answers in accordance with her motto, which, doubtless, will mean a suc- cessful future. Helen remains inactive to many pleasures, but is always interested in their good welfare. Although Arithmetic is the subject she most dislikes. Domestic Sci- ence proves to ' be a pleasure. Vacation time is always a source of delight, and she is al- ways a happy one when this draws nigh. She really likes to study. And docs this in i rcat measure. Because it is- a duty. And after that the pleasure. Aryan Mar(;. ret R. Drenn. n. ..West Grove, Pa. Pe.a;gy A rare eoinpound of oddity, frolic and fun. Peg.gy is one of the poetic members of the class. She has wonderful ability along this line and her jin.gling rhymes, which por- tray her jolly good-nature, and sense of hu- mor, have been the source of much entertain- iiicnt to her host of friends. She has aided in spreading the renown of our glorious class bv contributin.g a class poem to the iqi.t Seipcntine. She is fond of athletics, particularly basket ball, having starred on our girls ' team. Her favorite studies are History and Ene- lish and in her pursuit of these subjects, after .s;radution, we are sure id her success. Moore Page 80 Ruth Duuson Sprint; C ' ily. I ' a. Ruth the fair. Ruth the h)v;ibk ' , Ruth the sweetest girl of our dear old Higli. We all know Ruth by her sunny smile. Ruth, better known as Duby, is always the same — al- ways calm. We hear a commotion in the hall and we hear a deep voice say, Oh, your grand- mother ' s ear drum, and wo know it is the voice of no other than our Ruth. Her cheery nature will not permit any- thing to worry her. We all feel proud to claim Ruth as our friend, for, from her dis- position, wo loarn t Innk on the bright side of life. .■ t the first meeting one may not see the humorous side of Ruth ' s nature, but after a short acquaintanceship one will find that she is up to as many tricks as the rest of us.

Ilarrv comes to us from Cambria county, whore lie has won distinction as a pedagogue, but his ambitions cculd not be confined with- in the walls of a country school house, so he has spent a profitable time with us preparing to fjo out and solve the larger problems of life especially along the lines of history, and mathematics since they are his favorites. We are also very glad that he came, for when one feels blue just call on Happy and he will make all seem sunshine. He is an athlete of no mean ability, having helped us to win in several interclass meets. That he has hi.gh ideals is clearly indicated by llie adornment of his upper lip. His fav- orite expression is Don ' t waste your time in usless conversation. Moore M. K, THI Yi DUNKELDERGER, Bernvillo, Fa. She Smiles the leliole ear round. This little maid came to us from Bern- ville three years ago and is a graduate of that High School. Kitty has been very indus- trious during her course here and her sym- pathetic nature has won her many friends. Her favorite study is .grammar and one may not infrequently find her in her room trans- lating German prose and singing German songs. She is noted for giggling. You can tell her by this trait even thou.gh she is not visible. She is very much interested in Princeton College and if you don ' t believe it, just ask hi-r where she got the Swissdale camera. She is very fond of automobiling, especiallv when seated by the driver of a Cadillac car. Y. W. C. A. Page 81 Aryan Brandt Eariiakdt Eliza])L-thto vn, Pa. The kind and caressing Autumn Ijrecze of September, igi, , wafted the subject of this sketcii from tlie dismal fastnesses of Eliza- betlitown into the halls of our Alma Mater. Since then, the genial smile, the frank and hearty friendship and unfailing loyalty of Dutch, sometimes called Brandt, have ex- erted a stimulating effect upon the denizens of Wayne Hall. There is nothing wishy- washy about Brandt; he is ready at any time to rough it np, to sing a song, or dance a jig. He has assisted materially in elevating the young minds of Sconnelllnun. ,nnd it is reported that when he was forced to part with them his pupils wept. Whether the tears were tears of joy or tears of sadness is another question. We predict a future of great and useful service from Dutch. and wish him the suc- cess lie so well deserves. Serpentine staff, ' Varsity base ball team. Moore Mildred A. Easton Norristown, Pa. Mildred, better known as Midge, comes from Norristown, althou.gh no one would know it to look at her. She graduated from the High School of that place and then de- cided to fit herself to preside over a room full of little angels, so the fall of 1914 found her at the Normal. Midge is a very industrious girl and spends her time profitably. She is especially fond of psychology and teaching in the first grade and comes back full of interesting events which happened during the day and tells us. Girls, it was the funniest thing. Oh! I nearly died! She is very fond of aut(iniobiling, but al- ways in an Overland. Every Saturday at quarter of si.x finds her at High and Gay streets waiting to go to Norristown: that is also why her favorite color is coral (Carl). Moore Bertha Maiiaia Eblinc. .Weatherly, Pa. She sits tormenting every guest. Nor gives her tongue one monieut ' s rest. Oh. my heart! Yes, that is Pollyanna, the jolliest girl on Miss Crilcy ' s hall. Her merry giggle can be heard at any hour of the day (or night). Nothing depresses her and just when you think she is properly squelch- ed, she bobs up as gay as ever. No pranks ever occur im the halls in which Bertha is not an active leader. Berfade came from the Weathcrlv High School and entered here in Junior year. Her worries are few and les- sons are the least of them. Eats and sleep are her greatest hobbies. The sound of the breakfast bell is an unknown quantity, but for all other meals Bertha is right on hand. Here ' s luck to you. Bertha.

This package of joy is our gift from the Penn Argyl High School, having come to us in the Fall of 1914. Esther is a wit without douht, and always has some droll answer ready for use. She reads ciuitc a little and plays the piano well. But in the future she intends to aspire for honors handed down from Tetrazini. She has a wide range of in- terests which include State College, but I wouldn ' t have you think she is all jest and jollity, for she is a good student, too. Motorin,g, dancing and canoein.g are her favorite sports, in which she often indulges. Esther says slie will teach, nf course. Moore Florence ' . Ely Bethayres, Pa. Here ' s our friend, Ely, who came to us three years ago, from that illustrious town of Bethavres. With her winning smile and shining brown eyes she has won many fast friends. She is a hard worker, her favorite study being arithmetic, which is the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. With it all she has become quite an ardent suffrage advocate, and often finds time be- tween seven and ten to discuss the question. Her vacations are mostly spent m visiting her friends, even going as far as the Sunny South, and though the roads were rough, she was ah.vays ready to drive. Her highest ambition is to practice peda- gogy long enough to purchase a Hudson Six with which to tour Europe. Member of Missionary Committee of Y. W. C. A. Aryan May a. ERL. cnER Reading, ?a. This is one of the smallest and yet the jolliest girls of our ciass. She came to us in the Fall of 1914 from the famous city of Reading, Pa. May was accompanied by six of her classmates and it did not take long for that Reading crowd to make themselves at home. Wherever May is, there laughter abounds. She has a cheery word, and happy smile for every one and her lau.gh is ofter heard ring- ing through the halls. She keeps the crowd in an uproar with her melodious singing. It is hard to tell which subject holds a spe- cial place in May ' s interest for she divides her time equally with all of them. Naturally domestic science appeals to her, for lur fame as a dressmaker is already widely known. We little know the outlook of her future, but we wish her all possible success. Page S3 Aryan Alma Ettlicii [.aiircl, Pa. Let good digestion wait on good appetite. Gosh, kids; gut anything to eat? Who is that? Why, Ahiia, of course. The Httle girl wants something to eat. Although Ahna likes eats there are other things which she likes equally as well, or nearly so. Among these is the ability to talk in public and this she does very well. Another thing she likes very much is sleep, and once her door is locked and Alma lays her head on a downy l ormal pillow it is a sign ol no more entertaining that night. Alma has fondness for kittens, but we hope this will not last long, for although a good teacher, teaching is not her favorite study. However, this fondness is perhaps due to her kind disposition and the desire to help everything and every one in general. Secretary of Moore Anniversary. Olga A. Ettlich Laurel. Pa. Did you see that bunch of ribbon with something light under it floating by? Well, had you looked you ' d have recognized Alma ' s would be twin sister. There are very few here who are not familiar with this golden-haired maiden with the rosy cheeks and happy smile, for once seen, never for- gotten. Some people think she is very dignified, and while she pos.sesses a goodly amount of dignity, it is quite overbalanced by her love for mischief. Her favorite study is German and she can frequently be heard delivering stump speeches in favor of Der Kaiser. ' ' Water has a great fascination for her; rowing in summer, skating in winter, and between times taking showers are her chief pleasures. Rec. Sec ' y Moore Society. .Athens, Pa.

Ah, yes, from Bedford county this wave of flickering sunshine beams down en us. After two years of teachin.g near her home. Floss came here to show us what talent, well-directed, can accomplish. . lthough from her laugh we might judge the scales of music to be her forte, yet her actions portray her artistic ability. That she is both conscientious and ambi- tious we are sure from her weekly attend- ance to the Philadelphia . rt School. Class- rmnn results declare her a good student, although her most frequent visitors deem her by no means a book-worm. Serpe.vtine artist. Aryan Page 84 Lois pAwrmT New Albany.

It was our rare guml I ' urtuiu ' in January. 1914, to have Lois enter our school from the Sturgis School where she was taking the pre- paratory course for Cornell. Being a cap- able, energetic girl with a pleasing personal- ity, she is very well liked l)y both faculty and students. She has very decided opinions on some subjects and her manner of expressing them, combined with her witty remarks, is thoroughly appreciated by her companions. An occasional diversion is to go for a ride with a certain mascot found in Room 174. She is a great reader and most of her spare moments are spent in the Library. Her career as a teacher is promising and we all wish her nuich success. Secretary of 1916 class. Moore GussiE Fein. .Shenandoah. Pa. ( lUs llic man that hath no music in himself.

This paragraph will always tell to our friends and comrades in school life here what Gussie has given of herself and how she has done it. The literary society of her adoption will always remember her as a willing helper and a musician. Her teacher will think of her as energetic, understanding and appreciative to the last degree — and her friends? They will ever reflect her steadfastness. School mates! Don ' t you always think of Gussie as joyful, music-loving and a good sport? Moore Pauline E. Fidler Woniel.sdorf. Pa. Fid Fid was graduated from Womelsdorf High School in June, 1914. Upon conimg here it was found that Nature study was her favorite subject, although her lessons were taken in a different form from the rest of the class. Her favorite amusement was movies and most any afternoon she could be seen wending her way to the Opera House. We can imagine this little lady will make a good primary teacher, for her pupils will hardly refuse her entreaty. Aint you would do this? Fid always looks forward to her vaca- tion for she then is no longer loyal to Nor- mal, for her attention is all turned to Le- high. Aryan Page 85 Cniu.sTiNA FiNULAY. . . .

Those of us who knew her in West Chester High School can vouch for the fact tliat she has alvvavs been popular with her Companions on account of her jolly, con- genial disposition. She was always ready for fun and into all the good times that came her way. Teeny is a good student and shines especially in Ag., never having once been late to any of her classes(?). If in Study Hall you heard the sound of a voice you were sure to find this happy maid the center of the ' bunch of chattering magpies. Here ' s to your success in whatever your fu- ture may be. Mary Emma Fisher, Fort Washington, Pa. Marie But who is this cpiiet, studious girl who comes here? Yes, u is Mary, who, after graduating from . mbler High School, added herself to our number. Did you ever see Mary giggle real hard? It ' s a sight you can ' t al- ford to miss. Although careful with every- thing else, we can still hear her say: Good- night! Where are my keys? The thing Mary likes best to do is to read, for at any spare moment, she may be found curled up in the window-seat, pouring over a book. An- other favorite occupation is sleeping, particu- larly in the morning. Mary says that when she is tired of teaching school she is going to join the Old Maids ' Convention, which was formed here this year, but time alone can tell. Here ' s to her success everywhere. Moore Sara L. Fisiiek Spring Mills, Pa, } ' oiith beauty, leisdoiii. eourag,c, virtue all. That haf f iiiess and prhne eau hafif call. Here is a fine maiden who entered our ranks four years ago from the public schools of Spring Mills. We soon learned that Sally objected to early rising. During her stay with us she has never been known to get up for breakfact except under force. Every morning one can hear her exclaim, O, my heart: is it time to get up? With her sunny disposition she has made and kept many friends. Sally says her ambition is to teacli, but we wonder about that if we judge her by her favorite son.g. I have a sneaking feeling round my heart: I don ' t want to settle down. If Sally teaches we know she will make a successful school marm, which has been proven by her success here.

Always bright and congenial, she qnickly won her way into the hearts of all who knew her. Chat is very fond of literature and during her Junior year her hobby was Germane?). From her earnestness and sin- cerity in her work we cannot but expect her to be one of the great successes of our class. We do not expect Chat ' s life work to be teachin.g, but before many years have rolled by we believe her ' s will bo the lot of most other young maidens. In whatever she does she carries with her tlie best wishes of all classmates and friends. Theresa Flinn Johnstown, Pa. Tray Theresa Flinn, or Tray, as she is uni- versally known by, is one of the Johnstown Hood relics that drifted into West Chester in the Fall of ' 14. Tray is a coquettish sort with come hither eyes and does her share of luring the weaker sex on. She is very fond of out-of-door life and takes a spe- cial pleasure in the study of birds, especially Jays. She takes .great interest too, in her studies and shows her personality to the best advantage in her outbursts in defense of Math. and how to teach spelling. Tray has the power of interpretin.g music, but this is not her only art, for she is a regu- lar Lucile in the art of dressing the hair. She has a sunny disposition and always keeps lur friends in good cheer. Moore Clara M. F ' leuiir .Ashland, Pa. Clarice Since her advent into our midst in the Fall of ' i.i. Clarice has made many friends, .As her winning smile testifies, she is of sweet temperament and cheery heart. Fler favorite studies are agriculture (?) and arithmetic (?). She is extremely fond of walking (especial- ly up town) — we wonder why — skating, swim- ming and most certainly talking. Clarice is an ardent suffragette and was very much disappointed when her native county failed to support the cause. She declares that she will teach two years, but is undecided as to her life thereafter. We have no doubt as to what that will be, for, althou.gh apparently meek and modest, her frequent letters from a certain Frat betray her oath of single blessedness. Moore Page 87 Sara J. Foreman Glen Moore, Pa. Sal- Sara Jane has been with us since the Fall of 1912, when she entered our midst as a Freshman. She has faithfully carried out the duties of her school life ana is now ready to go out and be a teacher and friend of children. To be acquainted with Sal and to really know her are two different thiuKS, as she is very quiet and reserved until one knows her. She is well able to make as much noise on Junior Hall as any six others. She is witty and full of fun and the most congenial of roduiniates. In her math course she is deserving of much credit and proves it when she diligent- ly sits for hours trying to solve some diffi- culty for her roomie. Y. W. C. A. Moore Floyd C.

She is always in a cheerful mood, and doesn ' t in the least bit mind sharing her joy. There are two oc- casions when you may find her not so cheer- ful: one when teaching hour arrives, and the • other Sunday night when she leaves her happy home in nearby Lionville. One of her favorite pastimes is reading. Ghosts and fairy stories are her chief delights, but she is also particularly fond of hero tales. Who knows whom she weaves in the threads of the stories! She is also fond of Nature, and likes to commune with it, either cm a walk o - in an automobile. Moore Page 88 M. K(:. KET .. Fl ' LTON. .Malvern, I ' a.

Her favorite pastime is reading, but, of course, she always prefers her text books to any interesting story tliat you might put before her, Sometnnes we think she is going to take up farming instead of teach- ing, for whenever you see her, she is mak- ing a lesson plan on corn, looking up the most troublesome weeds and insects on the farm or some other form of- agriculture. But upon questioning her, we find that the happiest moment of her life will be when she, the once called little Peggy, can stand be- hind a desk with a book in one hand and a switch in the other and say, Good morning, boys and girls. Moore Marie E. Fui,ton West Chester, Pa. None im)uc her hut fn praise. Marie, a girl of wonderful personality came to us four years ago. She has been a good student and has gained many friends during her stay here. One of Marie ' s favorite pastimes is gym- nasium and in any of her spare time she will be found carefuUv training herself to be a great athlete. She expects to teach after leaving school, and, although we know she will be success- ful as a teacher, her close friends say that she will not make this her life work. We all wish Marie success and happiness in her future career. Aryan M. KY I. iMMiEkwiinE Kimberton, Pa. She has a zvorld of ready wealth,.

With her good-natured smile and word of cheer she has won many friends. Faithful in her work, yet ever ready for the good time. When go- ing to an examination one can often hear her say: I know I ' ll flunk it, and if I do ril die. I am just scared to death. She is an xiously looking forward to next year when she can be numbered as one of the inost successful teachers of Chester county. She will long be remem- bered by her classmates for her cheerful and sunny disposition. Y. W. C. A. Aiyan Pass 89 Kathleen Weiser Fink. . Royertown, Pa. All i;ood tlihiss come in small packages. This li ' .lle l;issii- hnils frnin Hnycrtuwii, Bucks c( unty. Vcs, sl.e is small, but please don ' t be deceived, for smallness in statue does not necessarily mean smallness in ment- al capacity. Kathleen has two favorite studies — history and aKriculture. Especially did she enjoy studyinu ' about France in the reign of Louis XV. Why does she like agriculture? Well, at home there is a small Paragon fruit farm, which attracts her attention the greater part of the summer. Kathleen was chairman of the Social Com- mittee of the Y. W. C. A. this year, and it was to her we looked for our good times. We surely have had them, for her abilitiy as a hostess captivated every one. Y. W. C. A. Aryan Alice E. Gardiner. . West Chester, Pa. Best of comfort and ever ivclcomc to us. Mistress Alice, quiet, unassuming, and a friend to every one, came to us in the fall of 1914 from the West Chester High School. In the Summer ot that year, she did a noble service in an industrial reform school for girls, acting as a teacher, and so she had a Summer ' s vacation filled with experience. Still the greater part of her actions is a world unknown and it seems as though she always kept in mind, Silence is grdden. Loyal day students, who are often near Alice, not infrequently heard her say, Oh, Honk! Don ' t scatter, fellers, she is just learning something unknown to her before. Aiyan Mary L. Garrett Orwigsburg, Pa. hear thy z ' oicc. 1 see thy smile. Merz, or Rex, is one of a great crowd that comes from Schuylkill county. Did you ever see her without the .grin? Even when Exams, appear in her way, she keeps on grinning and makes excellent grades. It would be very hard to say in which study she excels. You never hear Mary say, I am starved, that is because she enjoys Pea- nuts so much. Ask her roommates for more information. This yotmg lady duti- fully obeys our class motto, Follow the Gleam. Rex is the middle member of tiie 2()0 trio and is a very familiar figure on the halls. So well does Mary like school that on September 6th, she was here very early to help cheer new girls and show them the pleasant things about Normal life. First Secretary Moore Literary Society, Senior year. Moore Pace 90 E. Grace Gaunt Huntingdon, Pa. Oft she startles all our senses By her ivrioiis iiiootls and tenses. The niiiri. ' tlicre is to say abmu a pcrsun tlic harder it is ti find the best thinijs. Grace is one of those many-sided creatures that have a charm for each of us. If there is any contest of wits, we may depend upon Grace to cap the chma.x every time. However she is a good deal hke a pendulum — apt to swing ' from extreme ' ii:?ht-lieartedness that keeps us all laushino; by her witty remarks, to ex- treme despondency. There is also a very practical side to Grace and this, witli her frankness and good common sense accounts for a pirt of her success in her practice teach- ing. . ctive and interested in everythin.g per- taining to school, class or society, we feel sure that she will be a power for good in what- ever community she may find her work.

With her good-natured smile and words of cheer, she will help you ban- ish all cares and start work again with a new purpose. She is a jolly girl, as all who room on the same hall know. Although she is short, yet she makes up for this deficiency in another way — plumpness. Mae ' s favorite sport is a marathon on third floor every evening during the ten-minute bell to reduce the above-mentioned plumpness. Gheer up, Mae: you have plenty of company. Al- though she is from a district where there are a considerable number of lakes, vet .

This high-si)irited lass joined the ranks of the Red and Black in the Fall of 191. . She divides her time between a little study and a great deal fif sleep. Blanche is very mu- sically inclined, but is partial to vocal. Her roommates can testily to that. It is a well established fact that Blanche will not long follow her ambition of teaching, and it is for this reason she is workin.g so industriously in domestic science. We predict a bright and happy future for this maid. Moore Page 91 Katiiekine B. Glass Parnassus, Pa. Kay, with her dark eyes and hair, has joined our ranks in our last lap of the race. She is always gay and ready for a prank as we may judge by her looks. It is amusing to hear her go into the dining-room and say: Is there any mail for me? It seems un- accountable that he, from Knox College, 111., sliould have hime to write to her every day. Her love for mathematics comes in handy. Let ' s see six letters times forty weeks of school. Kay must have some brains as well as letters. Moore Irene Gluck Lansford, Pa. And her modest nature and quiet air Show her as ,i ood as slie is fair. O ' h, Pete! it is nmrning again and I must get up; we are no sooner in bed until we are out again. I ' ll just have to take a day off and make up all this lost sleep, is Rene ' s cry from week to week. Rene ' s favorite subject is drawing and the greater part of her time is spent in draw- ing or writing to Art (?). Her room is filled with many of her favorite pictures. Everybody has his or her favorite occupa- tion and Rene ' s is reading. Happiest is she when she has several free periods and a good love story to read. Saddest, when tests come that have to ' be taken. Aryan . (;nes ' eronica Goessler. . .Hatboro, Pa. .■ gnes comes to us from Hatboro, Mont- gomery county. Pa., and will always do that town credit. She attended the public schools of Philadelphia and graduated from the Hat- boro High School. In tlie Summer of 1914 .Agnes ' thoughts turned toward West Ches- ter Normal School, and she decided to be- come a school niarm. But still, at the same time her heart always burns when she hears Hatboro mentioned. In . gnes ' Senior year she became much at- tached to drawing and literally burned mid- night oil over it. Solid geometry was an- other of her favorite subjects and she ex- hausted all her energy on this favorite. Agnes has well-defined notions on how young gentlemen should be treated by young ladies and will always give advice on such matters. Moore Page 92 Louise Golden Slieshc(|iiin, Pa. -Lg. We have heard the saying, All that glit- ters is not gold. Bnt look! What have we here? Surely this time we have the real thing — a girl Golden in quality as well as in name. If you have not met this fair young lady, take advantage of your Golden opportunity, e ' er it is too late. We feel confident that for Louise, success will crown every effort in life, as the word failure is not found in her vocabulary. However, we, who know her best, all realize that bcfiire many years have passed, late will lead her into a more noble profession than that of teaching school. For last year her letters were scented with the fragrance of California perfumes, but this year her ideal seems to be nearer home and a peculiar light gleams in her eyes when any one mentions gym. (Jim). Moore )UI,IA E. Gr, ce. .Goshen, N. Y. She signed to iiianv. though she loved but one. ' ' little maid came U us from the Goshen Grammar School, and m her fiiur years ' stay with us has proven what good stuff that little state produces. Julia is our psychology shark and can read Latin like lightning. She lives up to her name in being full of good Graces, and is always happy with the exception of nn oc- casional Oh. mv heart; I am going to flunk it! Her fav(}rite occupation at the table is pouring the water as she is especially inter- ested in a Pitcher. Julia says cameras are an aid to humanity and here we agree with her, for to see the scores of snaps that she exhibits of herself in company with young men, is indeed con- vincing. Aryan Ellen D. Graham Throop, Pa. Don ' t iwiit until you are tired to take a rest. . iter graduating from Moosic High School, Ellen decided to join the ranks of the class of iqi6 at the Normal. The Kid has the distinction of being one of the squirmiest girls in our class, but what she lacks in steadiness she makes up in her good qualities. She is very good-na- tured and will stand all sorts of kidding. Ellen is a good respondent in classes: not through the art of study, but through the art of l)h lting. We know the Kid will win success in her chosen profession, whatever it may be. Aryan Page 93 Helen M. Greene Pitman, X. J. Helen, the Jersey mosquito. Thougli little she is mighty and it is one of her maxmims that .grind goods comes in small packages. She is never idle. It she is not busy with her hands it is her tongue. When mo.st perplexed we always seek Helen. It is never too much trouble for her to give us suggestions along any line. She is always happy and we can always hear her merry song along the halls. Her favorite expression is Oh. Heck! and wlicn we hear this we know she is ap- pniacliing. . niitlier w ' ay we know she is cciniing is by the sovmd of her educator soles prittering down the hall. Although preparing to be a teacher, we know she will not spend many years in a little red school house on the hill. Aryan Frances Grier Honeybrook, Pa. Although this sweet young lady was not with us all of our Senior year, we did not forget her and her large gray eyes with their wistful look that we learned to know so well the year before. Frances is a charming conversationalist as well as a brilliant student in all her classes. Her favorite studies are Physics and Arithmetic, although she is exceedingly friendly with nil of them. She is very fond of walking and is accustomed to taking long walks when- ever the occasion presents itself. Frances might ha e been heard to exclaim, Oh. pshaw! if perchance she could not go home or to the city over Saturday and Sun- day, but still she was happy in spite of her lot. Frances ' idea! is that of becoming a model rural school teacher. Aryan U- I IJL j Dorothy E. Grumi!Ein . .Philadel])hia, Pa. Dot lives at Philadelphia, but if home is where her heart is, her home in Lebanon. She admires long hair on men because it ' s so artistic. Elbert Hubbard had long hair. Does anv one else? Dot is a born psychologist, but it some- times gets her into deeper water than is com- fiirtable. but it hasn ' t drowned her yet and she says it can ' t be did. However, such trivial things don ' t interest her nearly as much as literature, especially James Whit- comb Riley. If you ' ve ever seen Dot not reciting, God bless you. young lim Riley, etc., you can wager on it that either she is ill or has flunked another . rithmetic E.xam.. We can ' t fully predict Dot ' s future, but she will become either librarian or teacher of English at State if the Fates are willin.g. Aryan Page 94 Mary Julia Hackman . . . .Mt. Union, Pa. Mary Julia lias always been called Babe. as she must be called by her fidl name and that is too long. Babe is very good na- lured and is always ready tc- do thin.i s for some one else especially Dot. She never gets cross except when she is doing me- chanical drawing, and then she certainly does use some very funny language. She always gets along well in all her lessons and is es- pecially fond of mathematics. Babe is al- ways looking for mail. She loves to read letters and all kinds of magazines. Babe will get along well in anything she does and we wish her all kinds of success. Aryan r. KY G. Hailstone Moosic, Pa. Laiii h and the ivorld laut ' hs zcitli you; H ' ccfi and ' oii zcccp aloiic. Mary came from Moosic in the year igi. ' ?. She was a member of the 191.3 class of the Moosic High School and was valedictorian of her class. Stoney ' s ancestors must have been Arabs, for she has that wandering spir- it. Especially is this noticeable from 7 to 10 P. M., when she may be seen wandering from room to room, cheering the gloomy students (?) by her jolly Ha ,Ha! She is at home from g..-?o to 10 P. M., and all her friends are welcome. By some mystery she alwavs knows her lessons. Her argiculture lesson plans are brilliant. Aryan Elizaheth M. Hall. . I ' razcr. Pa. Earth ' s face is dearer for thy .

Af- ter graduating from the Frazer High School with honor this maid of the dusky tresses and dreamy eyes came to West Chester. Of course she expects to teach but we, who know her, rather think she will not remain a teacher indefinitely, and though she pur- sues a scholarly way. much fun she finds from day to day. Elizabeth is particularly bright in mathematics. Can ' t you see her this time next year explaining this absorbing study to little shavers who may in the dis- tant future become Sir Isaac Newtons ' ' of mathematical fame. Here ' s success to you, Elizabeth, in all your undertakings. Page 95 Hazel M. Hawmoxd Lehighton, Pa. Not perfect, luiv. but full of tender wants. To LL ' hiHlUnii wc- arc in(lcl)ted tor this maiden with the bright brown eyes. Always checrlnl and gay. Hazel makes a jolly good companion and has hosts of friends. She is very energetic and firmly believes in work before pleasure. Hazel is very fond of dancing, especially to the accompaniment of the harp (Harpe). She is also a good student in mathematics and Nature study. We are sure of Hazel ' s success as a teacher. as she has a winning way among children. The good wishes of the class of 1916 go out to her. Moore Edith C. Hannis Ashley, Pa. A siiiiliii face is one of God ' s i ifts. Listen! What do I hear? Why, kids some one is coming up the fire escape. What busi- ness have you men around this building? Don ' t you intend moving; if not. I will help you, and Hannis rushes out to the fire-escape and In! we hear her say: Do you know who I am? Well, I am a member of the faculty, and if you don ' t move I will go down to the office and tell Doc. The rest of the affair remains to be told. This is not the only c.xcitin.g thing about Hannis. The question as to how she combs her hair has been raised by a few curious people and for the benefit of such, she has kindly consented to give a demonstration in chapel. .All welcome. Aryan Gi«ACE EsTELLE Harpek . vondale. Pa. ' ' Gracious. or Shorty. is one of our infants. She may not be very tall but . - ondale did a good thing for us when it sent her here in the Fall of ' 12. Grace is very fond of ont-door life. Rid- ing horseback and lon.g walks in the coun- try are her specialties. Though some kind of a fish in Caesar, she is not a shark. Just ask her about it. Whenever any mischief is in the air we might depend upon Shorty to help c-irry it through. Everv ine who knows Gracious can truthfully say: She ' s a good friend to have. Her witty sayings and t|uick repartee make her an entertaining companion. Moore Pace 9S Pearl E. Harris INIilfonl, Ocl. •■Pud This is our Pearl, who is always so stii- ciious. and wliuse noted characteristic is her determination. She is very fond of litera- ture, and in lier cheerful manner says with her fa nrite author, Lowell: — Joy conies, grief goes, we know not how; Everything is happy now. Everything is upward striving; ' Tis as easy now for the heart to be true .■ s for grass to be green or shies be blue, — Tis the natral way of living. Aryan Grace Pauline Hatmaker. White H.aven, Pa. Gracious .. - . - ()ur Gracious came to us in igii ' , Iiaving been graduted from White ' Haven High Scliool, but only remained -fene year. After having been home for alrao. t two years she decided to resume her studies, so that is how we came to have her in our class. Gracious is full of life and likes all kinds of sports but when she starts that melodious ripple every one loses their di.gnity and joins in her chorus. She is also noted for her neighborly spirit, especially when there are eats around. She is quite industrious and always succeeds in her studies, especially Ag., for their is some attraction. We won- der why she takes so much interest in State College? Grace declares she will teach sev- erals years, but we wonder if she will? Aryan Helen M. Haupt Spring City, Pa. Well, here ' s Helen, so sober, so meek, so mild. To look into her blue eyes one might think that she was always angelic, but such is not the case, in fact she gets her giggling spells just the same as the rest of us mortals. Hauptie. as we like to call her. came to us from the Sprin.g City High School, and she feels it her duty to blush for the whole bunch. When we hear a laughing, Yon poor fish, we know that she is approaching. However. Helen is an earnest worker and we are sure that she will make a wonderful success in the teaching profession; that is, so long as she stays in our ranks, for we fear from all accounts that it will not be long be- fore she takes up other duties as her favor- ite subject is domestic science. But what- ever her life work, we wish her all the suc- cess possible. Page 97 Juniata Heikes Ihmtiiigdon, Pa. Jtinie i perfe ct ' a ' ainaii. nobl planned. To zvarn, to comfort, and cummand. Julia entered school September, 1914, after Rraduating from Huntingdon High School. She came fully determined to be- come a teacher and thus far has shown no signs of wavering from her purpose. Her favorite study is mathematics, and, as with most people so inclined, she looks at the practical side of things, acting only after much deliberate thought. Out of door life especially appeals to Junie; during the summer months she spends many delightful hours canoeing on the beautiful blue Juniata River, while camping along its banks. She expects to teach at least two years and then — contrary to tradi- tion, go to college. Moore Marion Heistand Kimberton, Pa. Bang! Crack! Zip! Rnm! Bah! IVillliainson. ll ' iHiaiiison. Rail. Rah. Rah! Yes, that is Heist ' s song. This jolly girl has always been a loyal member of the class of igi6, upliolding it whenever occasion demanded. She is very studious and is frequently to be found in . 20 studying history of education. Her studiousness is well shown by her quick responses in class. She has shnwn a live interest in the class of 1Q16 at William- son. It is said that he is tall, dark and swarthy. Aryan M, K(;aret Henderson. .Christiana. Pa. Toadie, or Toad, is a native of Chris- tiana, Lancaster countv. Pa. She began her career here in 191,3, after having graduated from the High School at Christiana. Though not intendin.g to become a school marm at first, Margaret has stayed with us and is now one of the tall(?) members of the ' 16 class. Her favorite studies are mathematics and French, but when one asks her about his- tory she is likely to say horrors! To know her is to love her, and all her friends would assure you of her sunny disposition and always genial manner. Though we all know Toadie to be a very good student, she ardently believes in a time for play and we are often amused at her comical stunts and funny sayings. Good luck to you, Toadie. Ynu will ever hold a place in our hearts and memories. Aryan Page sa MakcaketR.Hektexstixe. I ' liofiiixvillc, Pa. Pi ' KSy came tn us linni tlie PliDciiixvillc High Scliciol, class ol 1914.

Of course, she is anxious to hear from her mother! ?). Peggy is one of our attractive girls. She is most envied for her heavy, black eye- brows. Do not think Peg is all mischief. Oh, no: she studies very earnestly and often, as her teachers will testify. We wish her success in all her undertakings. Moore ' iRGiNiA L. HiGGiNs. . . .Wcst Chester, Pa. This dainty little Friend of ours came to us over a year ago. Her school days have been spent at several different places, as she graduated from the Friends ' School, in West Chester in 191. , where she won a scholarship for Swarthmore College. Then for a year and more she is lost from the sight of her many West Chester friends and wends her way through the streets of Swarthmore. In March, 1915, however, she decided to complete her course in training for a teacher atW. C. S. N. S. where her many friends gladly wel- comed her. Drawing was her favorite study, but now we are afraid that she has given her pref- erence to chemistry, because many evenings her late return home is e.xplained by the fact that she spent considerable time after four over in the chemistry lab. Hakoli) I. G. High Pottstown, Pa. Character is Religion Let me introduce to you this young and happy gentleman from North Coventry High School. As a student he has won the favor of both his classmates and faculty. He is very studious and is one of the profound debaters of the school. Har- old never bothers himself with the opposite sex, but, however, they all seem to admire him. Latin is his favorite study and to hear him read or recite long passages from Caesar. Cicero and Virgil is amazing. This lad is very young, but is brilliant and has great determining power; therefore, we predict success for his future. His favorite sport is tennis and he often takes long walks in the country to study the beauties of Nature. Vice President Ioore Society, Amulet stafT, Class-book staiT.

Marguerite graduated from the Girls ' High School, Philadelphia, in 1914. She came here undecided whether or not to go into the teaching profession. Most of her hours before coming here were spent in having one good time, but now she seems to be looking upon life with a more serious attitude. During her hou rs of recre- ation we generally find her engrossed in a good book, or in the more domestic art of crocheting. The swimming pool and the open coiintry also offer their attractions. Success to you. girlie, in the role of school ma ' rm. Moore Ruth D. Himmelberger. .. .Reading, Pa. Snakie. Here ' s to Ruth, that qivaint, demure maiden whom to know is to love. You would never think she intended teaching school. Well, she does, for a short while at least. Her favorite sport is dancing, and when she is not dancing her Stan -by is mountain climbing. That Ruth is a flirt I need not tell you. Her picture tells its own story. Ruth has a generous disposition, which is shown by the way she hands out her lesson plans and her arithmetic problems, and many a less gifted person has her to thank for some of their good marks. There are mysteries connected with Ruth, namely; Where do those daily letters come from? How can she read so many books in one short week? Aryan C.KRRIE E. Hl.MMELSWRIGHT. East Greenville, Pa.

We feel that Wern is not c|uite content here, she is always dreaming of her Little Grey Home in the West, from which she came two years ago. She was an ardent member of the Cross Country Club, at home and when she came east she intended to transfer her membership, until she found that country clubs were very difi ' erent at W . C. S. N. S. Every evening Defore stuuy period she entertains the bunch by telling them fabulous tales of her wild escapades, while they crochet, for Wern is not very domestic: she deli.ghts in music and art.

Eiiiila, wliij is better known as Nolie, (ir Ndle, came to tliese serpentnie walls in the Fall of ' i. , after having graduated from the Christiana High School in the Spring of that year. Enola has been a go(jd student, her favorite studies being history, algebra, French and Chemistry, especially the i es - sons in the lab. She is a great day dream- er, but even if she is, she can soon return to lier old level and have some fun or do some- thing crazy, of which she is very fond. Nolie ' ' also likes music and dancing and is very well versed in both stunts. The girl with eyes like those of the girl in the book migh be applied to her, but still this does not include such adjectives as attractive, hunior- oiir and entertaining, which may well be ap- plied.

We often wonder how she gets along so splendidly in her subjects since we rarely find her in her room durin.g study hour. Nevertheless she comes out with honors. She comes to us from a four years ' high school which must have been a pleasant place, for we often find her dreaming of those happy high school days. Kitty is a good entertainer, and though she declares she will be an old maid, we are sure that she will come Down (s) from her pedestal. Kitty proves to us the true value of friendship and is a great lover of Frank (ness). Her highest ambition is to be a school ma ' rm, and though we doubt this, we wish her success. Moore S. R.A E. Hughes Manoa, Pa. Still the wonder i;rc7v that one small head could carrv all she knew. Sara is a day student, coming from Manoa every day. It is a long ride and she spends most of the time working problems in arith- metic. This is easily accounted for, as her favorite study is mathematics in any shape or size. She is a .graduate of Haverford Township High School and was veledictorian of her class. Notwithstanding the tact that Sara always has her lessons prepared and is never late for classes, she is always ready for a little fun, much to the sorrow of master of study hall (sometimes). Sarey never gets angry or loses her dignity, but if you want to get her fussed just mention Smed. Her many friends wish her unbounded suc- cess and happiness. Moore Page 102 i ' AlII.INE M. Il.l.K .

Her gentle, good-natured manner has made a wide appeal. . quiet, unpretentious girl, she soon entered into school work with all e arnestness. Slowly but surely she made her mark in all that was mathematical. Edna is loved by those who know her intimately, but she prefers keeping her circle of friends few and true. Edna greatly enjoyed her prac- tice teaching in the sixth and seventh grades of the High Street School, and we feel sure that she will make an excellent teacher in any one of the intermediate grades.

Buftie came to us from Caernarvon High School in 1913. She is very well liked, for she not only is lively but very true and stu- dious.

She is a good student and has made a good rec- ord both in her high school and here. But she isn ' t atraid of fun, basket gail games and walks being her favorite forms of amuse- ment. She isn ' t averse to eats cither, and at any midnight feast Helen is right there, stirring the cocoa or passing sandwiches, and making candv, or better still, buying Y. W. C.

Adams county, the fair garden spot of all the world, handed over to us m the begin- ning ol our Junior year this fair damsel and we have been duly thankful for her. Nettie has been very popular among lier class- mates, for she is kind, generous and true blue and withal a mighty good sport, always in for fun. Oh! what meaneth that dreamy expression in her eyes? What meaneth those endless epistles she receives and sends so frequently by means of Uncle Sam? ' Tis thought by a certain young man that she has rare ability in understanding the uttering organ. This makes us seriously fear that she will not serve long in the ca- pacity of school ma ' rm, but perhaps she has already had a pretty good whack at that Drofession. Now, just how long has she taught? Moore El T AlJETl Jamison.. .Philadelphia, Pa. Jimniie Elizabeth is a graduate of the Norristown High School, ana she is proud of it. Her home is now in Philadelphia, although she spends much of her time in Norristown. She came to West Chester in September, 1914. Jimmy is a pretty brown-haired maid, with blue eyes. She is quiet until you know her well and then she is ' tpacks of fun and very witty. She spent last Summer in Ocean City, where she made many new ac- quaintances (especially one) by her pleasing manner. If asked about it. she might answer. Yes. dear, or maybe it would be ' ' No. dear. Her favorite studies are Domestic Science. Psychology and Drawing. She labored many hours over Drawing, and she says she likes Domestic Science very much, and we are sure that she will make a good wife for some for- tunate young man. Y. W. C. .-X.

Who have we here? But, why the ques- tion? All know jolly Jones, of Thompson- town. Good in studies? Sure! In tricks and jokes a master schemer. In the not distant future this young man seems to see himself settle down to farming, his special pursuit, but like all pursuits this one has its incentive. We feel confident that success will come to Merrill, for he has already attained some success in the rural schools of Juniata county. Although he may teach only a few years, we iiop? he may still .give his time and effort to raising the rural schools of Pennsylvania to a higher and better standard. Aryan Page 105 M. Winifred Jones.

She is studiously inclined, when her roommates allow her to be, and is a star in arithmetic. Her ability along that line is well cultivated by her friends. Casey is very fond of High School reminiscenses to which her roommates will testify and is also a great liasket ball enthusiast for various reasons. Recently she has been learning to swmi and has a record of crossing the pool in two strokes. Can any one guess why? She is very proud of the Welsh race, but in all argu- ments, sticks up for the Dutch. Her friends all agree she ' s a friend worth having. Moore Rachel I. Judd Philadelphia, Pa.

To Adams county we are indebted for this member of our class. He is not so large in statuie, but his three years of experience as a teacher, and his faithful work as a student, have made him large mentally. Raymond stars in .-Xgriculture, and no doubt some day will write his own .Agriculture and Life. If you think he studies all the time take a peep at him some evening. There is a deal of mischief shining out of those eyes. He has always taken an active part in society, both in the broad and restricted sense. Moore Page 106 Anna Mary Keen Plvnioutli, Pa.

The more one works the less one knows, is the motto he has adopted, and we suppose that this is the reason Leroy knows so much. Leroy ' s • favorite sports are dan cing and automobiling. His ability at tlie wheel is unquestionable, while on the dancin.g floor he is a novice. To look at him one would think that he was an angel, but instead he is just the opposite, being one of the most cunning of our members. Aryan Helen Lucy Kelly, Lincoln University, Pa.

Helen came to us from Lincoln University in September, 1914, after graduating from the West Grove High School. She is not known so well among the class- mates as she spends her Saturdays and Sun- days at home, where there are more attrac- tions for her. Helen is fond of art and may he seen work- ing for the artistic effect while her class- inates are enjovin.g luncheon. We do not, however, expect her to teach long. We are sorry that we cannot tell you why. but you can easily guess. Page 107 Moore Rose C.

She is esteemed for her happy and cheery disposition and her ever-present smile which have won for her a host of friends. Her sojourn with us has been charac- terized by her steady and earnest work, al- ways finding some pleasure and happiness in everything, she undertakes. Her favorite subjects are arithmetic and Virgil and she has shown unusual talent alcjng artistic lines. Some day we hope to see her held up among the great artists of the age. She is very anxious to begin teaching, as she intends to make it her life ' s work. Moore Marian VV. Kemery. . . Mahanoy City, Pa. Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles vou. Well, look who ' s here! This maiden with the meek brown eyes! But those eyes aren ' t always so meek, especially on Sunday after- noon, for you know she has a south campus room. But in spite of her mischievousness we all like Marianna. When Marian starts to study she simpr- absorbs the contents of the book, so has plenty of time to annoy the sen- timental ones. Her favorite sport is tennis, and she can often be found struggling with love or deuce out on the courts. She is an ardent suffragette, and helped uphold the cause by marching in the suffrage parade. Could Mahanoy City have pruduced this combination of fun, mischief and cheerful- ness? Moore Rachel B. Killen ; . . Felton, Del. Rachel came to us three years ago, after graduating from the Felton High School. Delaware. She is a country lassie, having lived on a farm all her life. She comes from a well-known family, her father being the fa- mous breeder of nuts. Rachel is strongly in favor of women ' s suf- frage. If any one comes into her room who is an anti-suffragist a great discussion fol- lows and usually ends in the defeat of the anti-suffragist. She is so nuich in favor of it that she had blisters on her feet for a week after the parade in October. Rachel ' s favorite studies are drawing and agriculture but she dislikes all forms of mathematics. Her favcirite pastime is swimming, both at school and at home. Taken all in all .Rachel is a lovely, true. straight-forward girl and likes lots of fun. Moore Page 108 I ' jiNA luNE KisTi.EK. . . . Mauch (, lunik. Pa. The liixs ri ' i ' ; the )iuisiciil Imii li.

However, none of this .gayety affects her work, for she is most thoughtful and studious and not one task is ever left undone. Her greatest talent is vocal music, and she hopes at some future time to further cultivate her voice. Edna is a staunch Moore and is very proud of the colors. She should be, for they -really do go well with her golden hair and never-fading blush. We all know Edna will have great success in teaching, for she is very fond of children and delights in trying to make them happy. Moore Fknest Petek Krick. ..Sinking Spring, Pa. ••Duly E. P.

Her ever present love of fresh air and out- door life has won for her the honor of being called • ' a good sport by her friends. She comes from the Upper Gwvnedd High School and has been with us three years. Her cheery presence will be sincerely missed by all her friends in the future. Moore Page 109 Letha Kunki.e Carlxjndale, Pa. Oh, dear! Can ' t you hear her say it? Letha, or Leta, as she is sometimes called, came to us with honors from Carbondale High School. She is fond of all kinds of school work and is successful in every branch. But much might be said on both sides, for, although she works when it ' s time tn work, she can play when its time to play. She takes great interest in games, tennis and walking, especially when there is an ob- ject in view. How about it, Letha? To be sure, she believes in woman suffrage, for could one be against it, who was once nicknamed ' Suffragette? We are sure that slic will be a successful teacher if she does not piy too much attention to certain pu- pils. However, if matters continue to be run on loose principles, we feel sure that her teacliing profession will si.ion be ended. Treasurer of Y. W. C. A. Li ' inEK M. Lady Arendtsville, Pa.

We have found that he has a fine disposition, being always in a good hu- mor and always ready for fun and something to eat. Luther entered the ranks of this school in January, 1912. We find him the next year training the children of his home county along the flowery paths ot knowledge. During the three and a half years, he has made many friends and, above all, has learned to look at life from its many sides, as is shown in class and society, as well as ath- letics.

She plays the piano beautifully and often delights an audi- ence with her music. Kidder is a good stu- dent and especially deli.ghts in science and literature. Teaching is not Dorothy ' s chos- en life work. She says she wants to be a nurse, but we fear the ambition will never be realized. Why?

Katz has spent three years with us, havin.g first graduated from the Olyphant High Schiinl. She has manv rela- tives who are Alumni of the Normal School, and, conseciuentlv, during her first year, she was known as one of the Lloyds.

Esther is a creature of moods, plun.ged oiie moment in the sloughs of despair and the next radiant, effervescing with fun and mischief.

To some of the class Huldah niav seem like a very quiet girl, but those of us who know her. can tell you that she is not al- ways so quiet. She came from Norristown, having graduated from the high school there before coming to this school. She says that her favorite studies are .grammar and draw- ing and that she is neutral on the suffra.ge (|uestion. Well, although she may have giv- en us her favorite studies. I believe she will change her mind about Votes for Women. Some of the best times that Huldah has ever had (so she says was at Summer schocd last vcar.

S.. if only for a day, provided, the same persons were there that had been there, but some day, perhaps we ' ll understand. Esther is very fond of mathematics, drawing and Latin, but one can readily sec that her brightest star will shine in the Latin field. Page 113 M. Helen Lowry I ' itt.sburgh, Pa. IV hen she is sicL-.

No one seemed to know where she put all this para- phernalia in the dormitory. Helen was very fond of eating at all hours, particularly in classes and in her room. She never got up to breakfast, so of course she always had a supply of crackers or something to eat in her room. Y. u would even see her in reci- tation hall with a ba.g of crackers in her sweater pocket. Helen boarded up town in her Senior year and we suppose she misses the fun of dress- ing up and parading through the halls at the ten-minute bell: also, going into the room after the lights were out and scaring her room mates tM death.

She spends most of her time, however, in enjoying the splendors of the Chester Valley, and she certainly can ap- preciate it. If Sue isn ' t faithfully experi- menting in the physics laboratory, you may be sure that she is raising cain in some part of study hall. She is a very brilliant history student and an athlete.

When not indulging this motto suits her well: Never idle, never still; Always embroiderin.g, embroider she will. But this maid is also studious and is a shining star in many of her classes, es- pecially Astronomy. Music is another of her accomplishments, and. after com- pleting a course at Columbia University, came here to get her Normal diploma, that some day she might be a .great and widely known instructor of music.

It wouldn ' t be hard to cho- ' se Nellie ' s fa- vorite study; she is crazy about them all(?). Nellie is fond of parties, attending a great many in Philly and Hazleton. Nell won ' t teach long; no, you arc right: we expect something more uni(|ue from her, such a specializing in music or ten- nis — eh, Nelle? Moore Page 117 K W t F ! ' Grace H. McLaury Odessa, Del. Brownie. ' This liylit-liaircd maidc-n, with her laugh- ing brown eyes, is another loyal Ueiawan.ui. She is very fona of music and she often liurries through her iiiumenses and Ag. to indulge in ])laying her mandolin, much to the delight of her friends. Her favorite by- word is My heart! Sometimes when she is in one ot her very thoughtful moods we wonder if the trouble really is her heart. Aside from her music her favorite occupa- tion is reading. Her tastes vary from the ac- counts of the World ' s Series to the latest novels. Anotl.er thing she is very fond of doing is eating. Evidently she would rather eat than sleep, for never has she Ijcen known to miss even on.; breakfast. Of all her sub- jects, she likes domestic science the best. Ar an Edith C. McMullen Richboro, Pa. Billie. Hello! Here comes Edith, laughing again; now we ' ll sure hear another good joke. She is a dear, jolly girl, ami makes friends wherever she goes. Edith was graduated from the Richboro High School in 1914, and entered West Chester Normal the following Fall. During tlie time spent here she always sei ' med happy and contented. While here her favorite studies were Mathematics and History, but Drawing seemed to occupy most of her spare time, much contrary to her likes. Billie, when in High School, proved her- self quite an athlete — base ball, bicycling and horseback riding being her favorites. We sincerely hope that Edith will be as success- ful in her new occupation. Y. W. C. A. Aryan Eleanor McOwen Oakford, Pa. Eleanor is the living example in the fa- mous Class of 1916, of the statement that fat people are jolly and good natured. Please, don ' t judge her by this picture, for, in spite of her innocent look, she is very wise. She knows her lessons in spite of the fact that she reads novels or goes visiting her friends from seven to ten each evening. She is very unpretentious, but take G. M. P. ' s records as evidence of the fact that she shines. Her good nature knows no bounds. She is just the very best kind of a sport. Why she would give you anything she had, but don ' t ask her for an Ag. lesson plan, for she has no such thing in her list of posses- sions. Mocre Page 118 .Myrtle T.

Myrtle is rather diiiiiiuitive in size, but, decidin.j; from the aniuunt of noise she ean make in study hall at times, you would judge her to be twice the size she reallv is. She goes by the name of Doll Baby, while others call her Myrt. Some small people have a .sjreat deal ol energy, however, and Myrtle is undoubtedly one of these. She likes Wallin.ijford and Frazer very well. Oh! she ' s not so (|uiet and demure as you might think. Evi n before graduatin.2; from West Chester High, Myrtle had develo])ed a con suniing desire to teach domestic science and some of us feel quite sure that this subject will play a more important part in her life than psychology ever will.

Agnes is one of the most pleasant looking girls we have met; always a smile, no mat- ter when — mornin.g, noon or night, in rainy weather or sunshine. She is an earnest little worker and succeeds most always in what- ever she undertakes. .A.gnes likes to see other people happy and whenever a few girls visit her home they have such a good time that they just hate to come back.

She is one of the liveliest girls of study hall — when she is there. Helen stars in everything. Her favorite study is Nature study, and her greatest de- light is to wander under the open in search of four-leaf clovers, with wdiich we hope her path through life will be strewn. She has a disposition equal to Juno ' s. H ' -r voice is very sweet, but she is never known to sing anything other than that well-known song, Norman -dy.

She is a fine person to have around you. In the first place she ' s jolly and good-natured and then she ' s always ready to help you, although you never can tell when she ' s up to some ])rank. She is going to become a great agriculturist and will, no doubt, be a rural life leader ' ' in the little town of Mifflinburg. If, however, she fails in this undertaking she can take up a position as a family cook for which she has had proper training. Aryan Ralph Chyle Mercer Malvern, Pa. Merce is an inhabitant of the noble city of Malvern, and each day braves the weather to further his education. He is a graduate of the Malvern High School and speaks fre- quently of being a future student of theo- logy, although we, who knew Ralph former- ly, can hardly imagine the change. Who knows? Perhaps Billy Sunday converted him when he visited our school. Merce ' s favorite study is art, and some day in the near future he expects to be a close rival of Miss Groom ' s along this line. Agriculture, too, lends its enchantments to our future sky-pilot, and, perhaps, as we return some day to the Normal School, we will see Ralph standin.g in the midst of his patch of alfalfa, and regarding it lovingly. Ralph ' s favorite pastime is trying to grow a mustache, finallv repenting, and shaving it off. Aryan Dorothy Kline Mertz. . . . Allentown, Pa. Dot, Dorth, Fuddy.

As her nickname ( Dot ) would suggest, Dotty, or Fuddy, is not very large in stature, but size is no indication of brain or ability for very often Good goods come in small oackages. Dot can hold her own, II by no other way than putting up a good bluff; but she is especially fond of mathemat- ics, and has been known to spend the whole evening on Trig. Dot is an ardent suf- fragette, and she showed her ability to de- fend the cause in the suffrage speech contest, in which Dotty received very honorable mention for her speech. She Has made for herself a place in the hearts of many of us with her quaint, drv humor and ready wit. V. W. C. A. Aryan Page 120 Lii.r M. Meyer. Jdlinstiiwii, Pa.

Her franks arc the javoritc tltcmc of ercry tongue Yep, this is Til — Matilda Marie. Til is blessed with a jolly, optimistic nature, and most any time you can hear her laugh in recitation hall or during study hour and, sad to say it does not always come from her own room, hence her squelchings are not a few. Some one said: I wonder if Til ' ' could be serious? If they saw her presiding at the Suffrage Club, that question would be satisfactorily answered. Til is generous, unselfish and frank from her heels way up to her head and this is no short distance. Poor Til! Her last thought would be tli.-it study is necessary for the maintenance III life. Have you ever seen Til when she wasn ' t in a good humor? If you have, con- sider yourself lucky; we never have. Aryan Marguerite R. Michenei;, Xorthbrook, Pa. Thriftx and thoiii Iilfiil of others. For three years Marguerite has come to us from her home on a fertile hillside of Newlin township, not far from the historic Brandywine. In all of this time she has not once missed her train, although she can tell of many mornings when her sprinting quali- ties were tested to the limit in order to .get to the station in time. She is usually serious and studious, but if there is something doing in the nonsensical line Marguerite is usually on hand. She possesses a stock of dignity and com- mon sense which are qualifications neces- sary for a successful school teacher and for the brilliant future which we prophesy for Marguerite, Aryan Page 121 KiXA M.

She is now recognized by faculty and students as a bright, capable sirl. If she may be said to have any favorite studies, they are the languages. She enjoys thoroughly every side of school life anid never misses any of the good things which our school life affords. Her friends are many and all have felt her love and sym- pathetic insight. We feel that Ella wou.ld make a good nurse, but she feels that her life work is to be primary work. Whatever her vocation may be, we hope that she will ever be the same ray of sunshine to those about her, as slie has been to her schofil friends. Irene E. Miller Easton, Pa. Fne, Rene Surely the Gods were in a gracious mood, when, in weaving the destiny of our class, they gave to us Irene, the lassie of the grey eyes and happy smile; nay, forsooth, ' tis a grin! .Mthou.gh talented along many lines, Irene excels in debating and drawing, for she captrred the first prize in the Aryan ora- torical contest and as for her artistic ten- dencies — well, any one on fourth floor can testify that she is, indeed, a friend in need alcng that line. However, one thing Rene can ' t do is she can ' t do a thing with her hair. Irene ' s Biblical education has not been neglected, either, for she frequently and regularly pours ever Epistles from Paul. Another sign of Irene ' s genius is portrayed in the method in which she aids Mother Na- ture in making straight locks cuily.

Her favorite pastime is drawin.g (?) and she likes .grammar almost as well. She must have acquired these likings in Weatherly High School. Her stron.g point is sleep, for one will very seldom find her in the dining room for l)reakfast. but just call at 141 during ten- fifteen period and you will see the reason why.

When this apparently tpiiet child joined our midst, those who did not know her well, thought her quite demure, but her friends have found out that the saying, Still water runs deep, is very appropriate, for her giggles lead us to believe she is not so angelic as one mi.ght think. Languages are her favorite studies and in classes she be- lieves in speaking when you ' re spoken to, thus displaying the fruits of conscientious hard work. She doesn ' t speak much of fu- ture teachin.g. although thus far we know not why. Y. W ' . C. . . Aryan LlLI.I. N Mori; IS . P-dwartlsville. Fa. .il. Lillian, or better known as Lil among her many friends, came to us from Blooms- burg Normal, so you see she has had a wide experience in Normal life. Lil is not only efficient in exercising her mental powers but also in exercising her ever busy fingers, for her crocheting proves an unending pleasure. She deli.ghts in athletics, chief of which is swimming. Her smiling countenance, matchless wit and some Welsh Sighs are her chief characteristics. All her studies prove a source of pleasure to her, but the one we hear most bout is domestic science, and what new idea does this give us? She is a member of the Aryan Society. Piipi ' 123 Elizabeth J. Mover. . Schaefferstown, Pa. Curly liair, brown eyes and a pleasant smile are the chief cliaracteristics of our Betty. Slic is one of the irls whom one often seeks as a friend but seldom finds. She is the third of the Moyer family to come to us and has followed nicely in the footsteps of her elders. She is a bright stu- dent and excels in German. Midnight feasts have no horror with her. Her chief sport is a foot ball game and she delights in attending house parties. .Mthough Betty has made up her mind to teach twenty years, we doubt it, but are sure that for the short time she teaches she will earn the love of all the kiddies. Aryan Evelyn Mover Lansdalc, Pa. Evelyn entered our ranks in the fall of 1914 from Lansdalc High School. For sport or anything that promises a good time, she is always ready. As an artist she excels. Music also wins her favor, tor she has brought her Victrola with her, tor which we are all thankful. If by chance you wish to find her between seven and ten it will not be necessary to look for her in her room, for she is seldom there at that time. Have you ever heard ihis just before supper? Girls, get ready, we ' re going for a walk, the fresh air will do you good. This will prove to be Evelyn. When cleaning day comes, lo and behold! the Dutch cleanser appeareth in the form of Evelyn.

She has hosts 111 friends, both in the main buildinig and Wayn.- Hall, who all agree that she is just the sweetest girl. Her brilliant recitations, especially in mathematics, which is her fav- orite study, show that she is a good worker in that line as well.

Beneath this )nild exterior There lies a deal of iniseliief. A merry lassie, to ' be sure, is our Carrie. She is hardly ever ciuiet a minute and her tongue keeps time with her activities.

Carrie has been with us since she gradu- ated from Glen Mills High School, three years ago, and during that time has tried to brighten her corner of study hall. She has l)roved herself an excellent student and sel- dom fails to make a recitation in class. Carrie ' s future ambition is to teach and we predict ?. orosperous and successful career for her.

Al- most every week-end we miss her good- natured laugh and her ready wit for Flour- town, her parental city (she likes big words), is naturally more attractive than the Normal School. Dot is strong for all performances in chapel but always, a.- the time draws near, you can hear this cry, Hey, girls: can I take my knitting? (and she usuallv does). We can not predict Dot ' s future occupation, but know she will always find something to keep her busy. We would advise her to become a chaufifeur, for she can most admirably run many machines, including Fords and Maxwells: but if she then tires of this we think she will look among the professional men for her further occupation.

She graduated from tlie Newtown Square High School and then comuleted her hisfh school course at Haverford Township High School, after which she came to Normal. Drawing is her favorite subject. Should you ask her ccincerning certain persons, you would prob- al)ly get the reply, Where did you get your information? Her chief occupation in the evening seems to be attending choir practice, Ladies ' Aid, prayer meeting. Christian En- deavor, and church on Sundav evenings.

Her ability as a leader was shown by the fact that she served most ef- ficiently as president of the graduating class at Media High School. Although very fond 1 all her studies, Mary is never happier than when writing a lesson plan for agricul- ture, and we are certain for other reasons her interest in this study will never cease. She delights in early morning exercise — walking or running, which? We are already confident of her success as a teacher, because of her skill in asking ques- tions, which produce most profound thought. Charles H. Patton West Chester, Pa. Pat.

She received her early education in Harrisburg, but later spent two years at California Normal School, and. finally kmiwing what was best for her. she came to us in September, igi.s. Polly has a great love for drawing and we predict that SI line day she will be a great success in that line.

Whenever we hear any one yelling cats or walking very heavily we know something lias gone wrong with Pete.

She is never happier than when she is help- ing others, and many cases of blues have been dispelled by her happy smile and cheer- ing words. Y. W. C. A. Moore Page 131 Catharine J. I ' (ii.L()CK..Downingtown, Pa. -Reddy. Catharine Jane, one of our Young day students, came to us from Downingtown and declares it the best town in the State. She is known to her friends as Reddy and is fre- quently heard to say, Drjn ' t worry, girls; red hair is the sign of brilliant people. She is exceedingly absent-minded and after tell- ing her a long story, she will say, ' ' What ' s that? I didn ' t hear what you said. She is a lover of art and may be foinid during her spare moments in the drawing room where she is making a study of cat tails. Mathematics is her favorite study, and she ' s a shark in soHd. But she is also in- terested in domestic science and. on cook- ing days, she hurries to that department to see if they made anything good. Aryan Ruth E. Portz Arlington, N. J. Pi)rtzie. Ruth happens tn be uiie of those all around girls, who arrive at the rate of one per year. This versatile young lady is one of our classical dancers and fairly worships the skating pond, as well as all other winter sports. In fact, Portzie is one of our ath- letes, and has a host of friends among her class mates. She expects to be a gym. teacher, and although we can easily picture her doing gymnastic stunts, we think that she will receive a more important positiun before the end of many years. President girls ' Athletic .Association. Rec. Scc ' y of Moore Society. Elizabeth Powell. .Chesapeake City, Md. Betty. Our Betty popped into the Normal three years ago from the little town of Chesapeake City. She is as happy as the day is long, hav- ing the Pollyanna nature. Every one knows it is Betty, when they hear some one sing- ing or talking, while coming down the hall. Her old excuse when some one wants her to go out is, Oh! Pm too busy. I just must go to the library to-night. Agriculture has taken on a new aspect for her: it has a clearer meaning — she is especi- ally interested in silos and their contents, and would rather look at them irom a flash- light standpoint than from a class-room point of view. Our little tanned Marylander is an ardent lover of interrogation and exclamtion points. Corresponding Secretary of Moore Society. Page 132 Mary C.

Whenever any one had difficulties to solve or secrets to share they often came to her for advice, wliether it be concerning school, business or even more sensational atTairs. One bright September morning, in 1912, she came to us from Mahanoy City. Having graduated from McCann ' s business College in 191 — , and having assisted in that school for a short time, she had made a very gond beginning in her business career. Accord- ingly, she became an able assistant of our Steward before she was a student very long. She is a member of the Educational .Asso- ciation and of the Moore Societv. Ruth M. Quirk Shamokin, Pa. Jininiy. ' Brown eyes with a ' n ' piidroiis st arl ' liiig chann. Here is Rutli. with her rougish, trutliful (?) eyes. Although her home is in the coal region, her heart is in a Pleasant Point along the sea shore. Ruth ' s motto is Never do to-day what you can put off until to-mor- row. Nevertheless she always gets there in the nick of time. We are proud of Ruth ' s voice, and that she has one can be testified to by her friends and roommates. Her great ambition is some day to become a great opera singer. Although Ruth says she is going to teach, from her expert skill in do- mestic science, we have our doubts. Moore Jessie L. R.min Burlington, N. J. Burlington may well be proud of such a representative as Jess in the Class of ' 16. Everybody knows her: also, her visits during, study hour, especially the kids in lo.v Jess is one of the most industrious mem- bers of our class, especially along the line of crocheting, but when it comes to cleaning, ask her twin sister. She is always game for every good time that comes along and every midnight feast. .As to les- sons — well, she ' s just naturally bright, as her classmates say, after listening to some of her brilliant recitations and seeing some of her good grades. Next year she expects to join the great army of school teachers, but from some things we hear from public speak- ing class we see Jess in the future as a great orator, advancing the cause of wo- man ' s suffrage in New Jersey.

She sings, paints (pictures), dances, swims, and — well, any- thing yon might think of that ' s worth doing. .Most of us know her as Winks and this, too, is very appropriate. Just look at her eyes! Winks is not only accomplished in art and music, but she also shines in her school work. This most accomplished maid has taken an aptitude for Agriculture. This is quite a coincidence, since a girl — especially a future prima donna — should be so concerned about such a practical sub- ject as ag. However. Irene, whether it be a Lebanon farm or the Lime Lights grand, til you the greatest success is assured. Serpentine staff. Aryan Lelia a. Rand. ll. , Philadelphia. Sig. Well. I ' m back again, This was Lelia ' s greeting last March ' because, having been so very ambitious, she attended Millersville a year before coming here and thus spent a shorter time than most of us at WestChester Normal. It is more usual to heur Lelia say Good-night! You should have been at Sorority meeting on Saturday afternoon; it was wonderful! than What did you think of society on Saturday evening? because she has not often condescended to show her talent in social organizations here at school. But she has shown that she is a Latin genius, besides other remarkable things too numerous to mention. So we can surely know that our wishes will be granted if we wish Lelia success in all she undertakes. Susan C. Ratledge Tovvnsend, Del. Sue, Susie. i ' our years ago this Delaware peach came to us as a very little girl. It seems as though Normal life has caused her to grow up, though it has by no means made her one mite more solemn. Susie is know-n by her hearty lau.gh, and when is she not in for a good time? No one but the faculty and her roommate knows what a good student she is, however, and how earnestly she does her duty. She claims to be a man-hater, but just ask her about Moorestown. New Jersey, to prove this false. Susan is kind. and. though not afTectionate. is beloved by all. We prophesy that her teaching career will not be as long as she claims. Aryan Page 134 [. K ) ■ I.. R.M ' n 11381011, Pa. ■■.  ( tin- tilth- (ltd I ' ord just rambled rii tit aloiii . Not that Marian resembles the above- mentioned article in any manner, nor that site just rambles along, but for two con- secutive weeks this was her favorite song. You may not suspect it but Marian is tune- fully — or rather songfully — mclined and pro- duces a new gem m musical achievement every few days for the special benefit of her most intimate friends. This, however, is all a matter of Marian ' s private accomplishments: publicly she is a serious and dignified young lady, above both- ering with young gentlemen (which does not mean that they don ' t bother her); equal to all occasions and below doing anything in the line of breaking the rules posted on dormitory doors. M. KjOKiE Joyce Rehert.S. Bethlehem, Pa. Marge. To kiio ' ' her is to lo-rc her. This little and demure lassie hails from South Bethlehem. All adjectives in the su- perlative degree (which mean nice things) can be applied without exaggeration to Marge. Small in stature? Yes; but the same cannot be said of her intellectual pow- ers, for she has a wise and sensible head. She is very fond of Latin and delights in reading Homer. Her aim and ideal in life is to teach school until she has earned enough money to buy a little farm and some cows and then delve in the simple life of the coun- try.

Any time after school hours that you want to talk to Hannh, just go to the library, where you will find her reading agriculture relerence books or books on the sciences. The latter are Hannah ' s favorite studies and in them she is especially brilliant. Her clever, intelligent questions reveal her ac- tive, inquiring mind and Hannah always has a question ready on any point that is a bit hazy. -After graduating from the Bethlehem Hi.gh School, Hannah taught several years and then came to us in 1914. She has proved a valuable addition to our class, especially in the scholarship line and we wish her all pos- sible success in her career as a teacher. Page 135 Emzahetii Reece J ' lliiistnwn, Pa.

In this position they do not seriously interfere with the croclieting to wliich she so industriously applies herself. Her favorite sport is sleeping and taking long morning walks.

She was graduated from the Lincoln High School, Lincoln, Virginia, where she was the shining light of her class. She puts all her time, from six-tirty A. M. to ten P. i L. (when not eating) on study. Yet she never knows a thing. As evidence, take her e.x- amination marks; never over a hundred in such easy little subjects as psychology. Ethel is vigorously pursuing sociology and domestic science. We hope that her work in the former will not prevent her practicing the latter. Moore Henriett.- . . Reiff Hatljoro. Pa. Oh. sleep, it is a blessed thiiiii. Beloved from shore to shore. Yes, Hat is noted for her sleeping abili- ties, yet she is just as capable in many other lines. She never seems to study but, for some reason, she always gets there. Hattie is always cheerful and willing to help, and to tell the truth, her many friends make good use of this fact. DrawMug is her favorite subject, perhaps because she has real talent along this line, . lthough a graduate of the Hatboro High School, Reiffie spent the first three years of her high school ca- reer at Doylestown. We believe that Hat- tie will be especially successful as a teacher of little tots, for she is very fond of them. V W. C. A., Educational Association. Aryan Page 136 MarcU ' ekite Rkikf.

From her dreamy eyes we know that her tlioughts are often far away from Normal. Grace is often found with the h-lues during the week, but is in the best of spirits on Sunday. We wonder who he is? One of her greatest desires is to lose the surplus weight which Normal life has given her and she is a frequent track-runner in the i. ' vninasium.

This member of our class be- .gan her education at West Grove, completed her high school course at Kennett Square, and joined our ranks in September of 1914- During her two years here she has done ex- cellent work in all subjects, but her favorite study is chemistry. In this class she often made Shock -ing statements. We used to wonder why Gertrude goes home so often, but the mystery has been solved. We can ' t imagine her a dignified school teacher, but we feel sure that with her determination and enthusiasm she will find success, Y. W. C. A. Arvan Page 137 EsTELi.A M.

Nothing delights her more than to take breakfast in the woods. Her favorite lesson is Nature study and she is also a loyal supporter of Agriculture and Life. She and her friend, Ruth S., are almost inseparaljle friends. They seem very fond of the Baptist Church this year. I wonder why? Probably because it doesn ' t begin un- til II o ' clock. Oiie of Stella ' s few faults is blushing. This is noticed more often in public speaking than elsewhere; for she is often checked while re- citing so that she will imt exceed Miss Everett ' s speed limit Aryan Bes.sie Ridgway Bridgcton, N. J. This nunlest Little Quakeress came to us from Bridgeton, N. J., where she gradu- ated from the business course. Why she changed her mind we do not know, but she is here earnestly striving to be one of the best of teachers. We will not speak only of her serious side, Betty ' s jolly bump is just as large. We think her laugh the most irresistible we ever heard. If she gets started in class, woe be- tide you, but she can stop on a half mo- ment ' s notice. Her especial sport is walking and she is a very proficient hiker. Our wish is. that in the future, she will be free from all ac- cidents. One of her favorite studies is astronomy, and she seems particularly well acquainted with the stars. Moore TiLLiE - . Riley Mahanoy City, Pa. ' •Blnshin, is the color of virtue. Our little curly-locked Tillie came to us from Mahanoy City. One of her chief occu- pations is giggling and her merry little giggle will ever be remembered by every one who knew her. One of Tillie ' s particular dislikes is the rising bell, as she is seldom seen at the breakfast table, but the week pre- ceding Thanksgiving she appeared regularly every morning. We wonder why? Tdlie is very fond of reading and spent many hours curled up on a trunk with a book on her lap and a bo.x of caudy by her side. We do not know what prospects she has as a teacher, but we are sure she will make good use of the Hick -ory stick. Moore Page 138 Makv C. kucERET W ' ilkcs-Uarrc, Pa. Ross.

She is a jolly little midget, scarcely five feet in height and brimful of mischief, but is a true friend always ready to help you out and a good all-round girl, whose favorite sport is driving a large Overland car. In music she is quite talented and we prophesy for her a bright future in that Hue. Moore Sar. a. Rudy Parkesburg, Pa. Iiuwtiiisiiiisliablc laii_i;hlcr. Behold the one whose laugh hath made her famous. Squelchings don ' t do a bit of good, she giggles right on. She finds her deepest interest in the realms of Domestic Science. Yum, yum, those pies! Did you ever taste them, boys? It is impossible for me to confine myself to one of Sara ' s sports, as she indulges in many, but especially enjoys strawrides in the moonlight with Chick by her side. She has a peculiar fondness for Dickinson and her room overflows with pic- tures and other reminders of some mys- terious Bob. Sara, although jolly, can be serious and solemn as an owl, when occasion demands it, and her guileless expression when almost cau.ght in some forbidden revelry is most convincing of her innocence. We all know, from her personality and ac- complishments that she will make a success- ful school ma ' rm. Aryan Page 139 Elizabeth K. Russei.i I ' o!croft, Pa. Betty. .- sii Iit of tlicc inv ' lootiiv soul cheers p. Betty came to us last year after four years of industrious study at Radnor HIkIi School. With her she has brought a large supply of chcerfijlness and a sweet, sunny disposition. During her two years with us she has lived up to her High School attain- ments. That she is an enthusiastic athlete is readily seen by the enormous amount of energy that she displays in the gym.; a mem- lier of our basket ball team and also an en- thusiastic rooter at the ' Varsity games. She is an active worker in class and society af- fairs. Because of her fondness tor books and her great interest in country life we feel sure of Betty ' s success as a model rural school teacher. Cabinet member of Y. W. C. A. Moore Mariana B. Satterthwaite, ' ardley, Pa. Pete. In the Fall of 1913, Mariana came to the Normal from Yardley High. When she had become accustomed to boarding school life, she entered with vim into the good times of- fered here. A ' lariana is interested in all kinds of sports such as swimming, dancing, skating, playing tennis, and last, but not least, in riding. Dur- ing the long, pleasant summer atternoons in vaction she may be seen riding or driving her pony, Di. ie, over some of the good old roads in Bucks county. Sometimes she rides back of some body else ' s Di.xie, and isn ' t alone either. Mariana is a member of the . ryan So- ciety, and, I think, in future years, will be glad to come back to visit this society and dear old Normal. Aryan Grace Savage Uwchland, Pa. We might in this instance reconstruct the old adage that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, and make it to suit our purpose, Music hath charms to soothe when made by the ' Savage ' voice. Grace is more generally known as the Jenny Lind of her class, willing to lend her voice on any necessary occasion, but those who know her best, know that her voice is only one of the possessions which are con- stantly at the disposal of anybody, from hair- dressing to musical instruction. Though not naturally a superstitious girl, yet Grace is a great believer in the rule of threes, whether it be knocks or taps, or writ- ten in mysterious hieroglyphics. Moore Page 140 LuciLLA M.

Probably we will all remember her by her acrobatic stunt in the gymnasium her first year here. Of all Lucilla ' s subjects, she says she likes domestic science and zo- ology best. We think she likes zoology be- cause of her careful study of Millers. One of her favorite expressions is, Oh, shucks! Ned is a member of the Moore Literary Society and joined the Y. W. C.

' ' Lo! a bonnie Reading lassie! Ruth ' s talk, altliough very slow, still always amounts to somethin.g. Many think her to be c|uiet but they change their opinions when they see her dancing around. Her greatest desire is to be a musician, but we fear, Rutnie, from what we see, that you are destined to be an artist (?). One of the first among her many accomplishments is her ability in gym. She can always be seen towering above the rest of the class and is distinguished by her quick (?) movements. Ruth Serena also has a carrying voice as the iieople on fourth floor well knc ' w. Almost any time of day or night Ruth can be heard yelling from third: Stel-la, where are j ' ou? For her cuckoo, altliough insignificant, ended rather disas- trously. Aryan Florence L. Scuerer Soiidcrton, Pa. Tears, idle teurs. Flo is one of the best natured girls at Normal, but is very easily moved to tears. . mere suggestion of something weepy will cause the tears to flow. She surely will need some one ' s broad shoulder to weep upon. She is very much devoted to the high arts, and perspective is her chief delight. We really do not expect to see her teach very long in that little red school house over the hill if letters keep coming so thick and fast from that young man from Souderton. Moore Page 141 Pearl E.

Schmelby has the pep and when he gets started he cuts tilings loose: ask Shoff. His ambi- tions are on the right track. Some day we will connect the name of Schoenlv with grand opera. This young fellow has the ingenuity all right: he even sets the teachers ofT the track by carefully thought-out questions.

This sweet little maid arrived at the Nor- mal School in the Fall of 1014. having been graduated from the Cheltenham Iligh School. Emily ' s career at the Normal Sclmol is char- acterized by her love for mathematics, going to the moving pictures, followed by a sundae, swimming, and her desire to be at the dances given at home. She is known in the dormitory by her fondness for dressing up and the noise she makes. She is so noisy, in fact, that in her Junior year her hall teacher threatened not to allow her to remain on her hall. Visitors to the room often hear her s,ay, Well, I ' m the boss of this room, ' ' but the visitors im- mediately ask her, Where did your Cornell pemiant come from?

Last year she seemed to be a quiet and un- sophistocated little maid: but this year, as we have come to know her better, we find that she has lost some of her bashfulness. Perhaps this h due to the fact that she is taking a course in Nature Study, which has developed her power of observation along certain lines. Estella can often be seen wan- dering over to the Library. Now, can it be possible that such a public place could hold an attraction for her? Of late she has been trying to decide whether to teach in Eastern Pennsylvania or in New Jersey. Take your time, Estclle, and decide wisely. Farewell, and success be with you. Arynu M. ry D.

She came to us in IQI4, after graduating from Sonestown High School, and has become very fond of West Chester. Like most other day stu- dents, Mary has proven herself a very apt student. To say that she liad any favorite study would be a mistake, for by her brilliant recitations we feel sure that she loves ' ' them all. She has a cheerful disposition: takes life easy and never worries about her studies. All her friends feel sure that she will make a good teacher, for she is especially fond of children and seems to have no trouble in gaining their affections.

Berthie is quaint, but those who know her well, know that she can appre- ciate a joke. She is always ready to help any who need her assistance and is loved by all who know her. Y. W. C.

Peg is as she boasts, a daughter of Erin, and this doubtless accounts for her sparklin.g wit. Her favorite pastime is playing tennis, in which she takes a particular delight for more reasons than one. She also is a very ardent upholder of ihe football team of her . lma Mater, West Chester High, in either its failures or successes. It is to be hoped that Peg ' s Domestic Science course will improve her cookin.g, as heretofore her ef- forts in that line have proved almost fatal. Moore Maoy Beachle Simp.son. ..Pottsville, Pa. But she has a iar e heart So she has. Mary Simp, as she is commonly known, is one of a great number who hails from Pottsville. She is one of our test students, as is shown by her grades, starring in Grammar and .Arithmetic. Her good marks might lead one to consider Mary studious, but thev would soon change their opinion if they were on her hall. She is a great gymnastic enthusiast, and we e.xpect her young pupils to be thoroughly trained along that line. Mary Simp is very modest, and when she is praised always incpiires, Say, where do you want it? She Iiris nothing to do with our Normal fellows, but we think there is some one at home. Aryan Page 146 Eva Skii.i.uorn Damascus, Pa. Eva Skillhiirn, who is known among licr most intimate friemls as Bet-, entered West Chester State Normal School in September, igi4. She was valedictorian of the class of 1914 of Damascns High School, Wayne county. In hiyh school she be.tian her career as a debator, and she has won in all debates but tw-o in which she has taken part. She is an enthusiastic member of the Moore Literary Society, which she joined soon after her ar- rival here. Bee also won the first prize in the contest for the best two-minute speech on Woman SutTra.a;e. She is a member of the Educational Association of this school, an earnest student and well liked by teachers ami students. Bee enjoys long walks in the country. and among her other accomplish- ments has learned to sink. Bee has two great aims in life, to teach Latin or to re- form a country school and make it a social center. Moore Julia J. Slack Yardley, Pa. Shulie. Julia came to Normal from Yardley High School in the fall of 1914. She is a very bright girl, with brown hair and brown eyes, and a cheerful disposition, always lending a helping hand to every one. She takes a great interest in her lessons, and shines like a star in her classes. She is also a member of the Educational Association. Her great delight in her future life is to be a school teacher, but of course we all know that she will not indulge in that occupation very long if a member of the opposite sex can prevent it. She is very fond of dancing and singing and we could always tell when she was coming down the hall when we heard her voice. She is fond of skating and playing tennis, but oh! what a wonderful swimmer(?). Aryan Mabel Sara Slutter. . . .East Bangor, Pa. A daughter of persistence . quite tall. And most divinely fair. Usually after dinner one may hear Sara e.xclaim; Oh! I ' m so full of laughing. I guess they thought me crazy, for I just laughed all dinner time, with nothing to laugli about. The most liberal answer to any c|ues- tions you may ask concerning her jovial mood is: O, hen! Something just struck me funny. But knowing her well you may rightly conclude just such a spell is a sequel to a letter from Mack or Doc. or some other fictitious character, even to her most inti- mate friend. Sara ' s creed — not a moment to waste— makes her as true to books as to pleasure and recreation. A favorite quota- tion: Two men looked out from prison bars: The one saw mud, the other stars.

VV ' licn Helen first eame lit-rc from llazelton Townsliii) High Sclinol slie had the worst intentions of hating this sheehang; but this year site seems to have calmed down a little, and finds sonio pleasure in early Saturday niiirning walks into the Park(er) surround- ing jungle. Sometimes on these jaunts un- e.xpected things happen. For further infor- mation see Helen. She is really a very serious sort of a person, and is English, you know. Ask her to say hot. By the way, there is a letter in the alphabet that is pecu- liarly fatal to her. RuTii N. Smith Spring Mills, Pa. Not ciijoyiiicnt. and not sorrow Is her destined end or rvav. But to act. that each to-morroxv Finds her farther than to-day. Behold Smith! This little maid with the purple glow of youth blooming in her cheeks hailed from the public schools of Center county four years ago. We can hardly tell you fair reader of her greatness. She is truly a fine little girl, proving to us that good goods come in small packages. Conscientious, friendly, reliable, good-nau:r- ed, cheerful courageous, all these in one small girl, but Land sakes! these are not by far Smith ' s only charms. She is one of the best students and acquires her high stand- ing without much etifort. She is always ready for fun, great for rough housing and mid- night feasts. Y. W. C. . ., Cor. Sec ' y of Moore.

The Count is to be congratulated upon his fine work and ambition to graduate with the class of sixteen. An and language, all political situ- ations, and Who ' s Who among, the girls at W. C. N. are among the Count ' s varied interests. His attitude toward Kaiserism is a question of great speculation. Some regard him as a Teutonic adherent, and this seems to be verified by his frequent visits to Prctzcltown (Reading). The Count has expressed his desire to become a lawyer. We wish him success.

Ruth is a very attractive girl and is loved by all who know her. She gets along very well in all her studies. She is always glad for vacations; I really believe there is some attraction in Delta or near there. If you hear some one saying, Now I lost a hair-pin you will know it is Ruth, she seems to be losing them all the time. We are not sure of her future, but we know she will not teach long. We wish her great success. Moore Charles L. Si ' INdlek Parksville. Pa. Charles Lewis Spindler spends his spare time at Parksville, a city known tor its great men. Charles is a well known astronomer. I ' wo years ago he discovered a Starr un- known to all astronomers. His discovery was not due to mathematical calnclations, but to his wonderful power of observation. Charles named this Starr (who is visible to the people of West Chester during the months of March, April. May and June) Esther. It is hoped by Charles that this Starr will change her orbit within the next five years. If this takes place she will be visible to the people of Parkersville during the entire year. Nevertheless Charles has decided to give up his study ot astronomy, and enter the medical course of the Univer- sity of Parksville, Aryan Ambler, Pa. Clara K. Stackhouse ' . . ■ Taint. Yes, this is Clara, otherwise known as ' Taint, one of the twins who joined our ranks last year after graduating from Amb- ler High School. Her chief occupation is — can you guess — yes, that ' s it, talking, and when she isn ' t talking, she ' s generally gig- gling. Clara sees the funny side of every- thing and has been know-n to laugh even when s iuelched. She is always au.xious to please everybody and can be frequently heard to say, How ' s this, girls, and What do you think? An insatiable reader is she! We would not be surprised in the least to hear of Miss Stackhouse billeted to make a stump speech on Votes for women and discover the speaker to be our old friend ' Taint. Well, let ' s wish her success and plenty of happiness for the future. Moore Pnge 149 Ei.i.A I.. Stackhouse Ambler, Pa. ' Tis.

Well, here ' s the other one, ' Tis, I do declare. We know her l)y her bright smile and cheery halloa! ( h, my goodness, what have I lost now? Yes, that sounds like Jilla: we couldn ' t be mistaken after hear- ing these words, for we believe they are her favorite means of expressing consternation and despair. Ella is a regular encyclopaedia of questions, for she has beaten the record we ' re sure — one hundred words in a single quarter of an hour. Can you beat it? Moore Mary E. Stauffer..E. Downingtown, Pa. And still 7VC sased and often 7vondered, too. That one so small could carry all she knew. This fair-haired girl — known as Stauff — joined the 1916 ranks in the fall of 1914. having graduated from Downingtown Higb Sqhool the previous year. Stauflf is a studious, conscientious and sympathetic miss. O ' ni won ' t women ' s suffrage succeed if she displays as much faithful and earnest work in the cause as she did in her school work here! While here she acquired a great liking for chemistry, but this year she so much enjoyed her work in Domestic Science that when she leaves she intends to go to Dre. el Institute to specialize in it, which she says she intends to teach. Aryan Frances DeRemur Steinmuller, Bethlehem, Pa. Frank is an nnpulsive, energetic girl, who came to us from the Moravian Pa- rochial School, at Bethlehem, in 1914. A star there, she still scintillates here. She is a member of the Educational Association, i f the . mulet Staff, and also of the Moore Literary Society, in which she takes an ac- t ive part. One may often find her in the Library; for she is an ardent student of literature, as well as an admirer of Dr. Green. We can remember how she often raced ( Roest) to Agriculture at 7.45. Her favorite subjects are Gym., German, and Grammar, and her favorite expression, Auf- Wiedcrsehn! ' Moore Page 130 DoROTiiv M. Stetson Ottsville, Pa. .4 mi.vliirc of vUn.

This fair maiden came to us from the schools of Berks county. Pa., in the second year of our course. She has been a faithful student in all of her work — her particular disease being Grammar, but her ability in her class of Psychology is still remembered. Emily is always happy and her favorite pas- time is running to chapel long after the chapel hell has rung. In the class room she is rather quiet, but outside — oh, iny! Dutch, beware of Philadelphia!

We found her kind, generous and loving. No matter wlien or where she saw you, you were greeted with a smile. Every week-end she journeyed home in an Overland, ' ' where she takes great interest in Sunday School work. We are always glad to see her return with her pleasant smile and plenty of good things to eat. She is talented in music, both instrumental and vocal, and we expect to hear of her as Madame Stiteler, singing in Grand Opera. Her motto is Eat, drink, sleep and be merry. Page 151 Moore Clarence R. Stitzer. .Sinking Spring, Pa. Stitz. Kaiser. Kaiser, as lie is known among his class- mates, a ' so hails from Sinking Spring. He is a German student and a great mid-night feaster. He never gets hungry, for he is always eating. Besides German he has a great interest in Literature and History, (also Drawing and Agriculture). During his stay at the Normal he held the following oflices: Pics, of Junior Class, Prcs. of .Aryan Society, Captain of the .Aryan De- lialing Team, 1916, Sec ' y Y. M. C.

But, friends, apiJearances are sometimes deceiv- ing. ' lh nigh she came to us from New London, a prim little school marni, having had two years ' experience, she can be as boisterous as anyone. Indeed, she is the wit of our crowd and always ready for any lark, especiallv getting in wrong with the cop. Nora has a habit of humming ' •hymns under breath. We cannot always tell what him she is thinking of, but then we always think she knows. She is very finid of all sports. Her favorite study is Literature. She tells us she formed a lik- ing for this subject in New London High School. I ' .AIKY Ethel Straley Hanover, Pa. Our Little Fairy came to us two years ago, after graduating from Hanover High School. She is small of stature, with dark hair and eyes, and her name suits her ex- actly. She is of a very cheerful and happy disposition, always with a broad smile on her face, and a cheerful word for everyone. Her favorite pastime is whistling, even dur- ing study hour. Her favorite expression is It is, so it is, and her favorite study is Gym. (Tim). She has many little peculiari- ties, that just suit her name. Her cackling little laugh is constantly heard through our halls. However, Fairy can be serious, and we know that she will make a very success- ful teacher. The worst fault of Our Little Fairy is that she is forever talking. Aryan Page 132 W ' lLi.iAM S. Stricklek. .Wiinielsdcirf, I ' a. •■Dfiit chlan(l ubcr Alk ' s.

Of course, it is very likely to happen some time, but that day we have not yet seen. Dell came here from the Parkesburg High School with ner enormous bundle of knowl- edge, and has day by day been building upon that for her life work. She has been known to say that she liked Zoology better than any other subject she had here at Normal. We wonder why? If a strain of music is heard coming from any known or unknown corner of the building just go there and you will always find Dell trip- ping on the light fantastic tot. Florence Sturr Elmer, N. J. Floss. Ein Guten Kanieradiu. In our estimation Floss is a girl of much sturdincss, capability and willingness, brusque yet charming. In appreciation of her as a friend, she is a winner. Regard- less of age, size and appearance, Floss impresses you as being steadfast. Years doubtless will make a change, but the basic of true friendship and comradeship will not be disintegrated. Her home Is at Elmer, N. J. She was educated first at a three- year high schnid in Elmer then for one year at Glassboro, N. J. She has shown herself well here, and we trust she will always make a happy impression. Her chief characteris- tics are her laugh and her love for playing tennis.

Her liappy smile and pleasant greeting have made her nvnneruns friends. A delightful touch of liroguc and an inexhaustible supply of good joUes make her a jolly companion. She and Madeline are sole contestants in a per- petual talking contest, but we think Made- line will win. For some strange reason Mel will forego any sort of pleasure to prepare her Grammar lesson. When she and Peg Yoc meet a chorus follows, Have you done your Grammar. It never fails. Aryan . Furlong, Pa. Eleanor I. Swartz .Xellie. ' Did somebody say grouchy? Well, I guess not. Never in my life have I seen any one take things more calm than Nellie. Well, if I Hunk it, I flun k it, but she never does. Probably for this reason, probably for another, she very often receives a bo.x of candy or flowers. If asked who from her usual reply is, I don ' t know, from Uncle Jess, I guess. So do I. Eleanor went to Furlong School and there completed the grades. In the year 1910 she entered Doylestown High School and graduated with honors in 1914. The following school year she entered Normal and now leaves that dear old place in 1916. We hope Eleanor will be both prosperous and happy in the years that are to come. Member of Y. W. C. A. Aryan Helen C. Swaverly. . . .Pedrickstown, Pa. This charming maid came to us from Ped- ricktown, N. J., although she is a graduate of the Pennsgrove High School. She is very studious and her knowledge, which she so willingly passes on to her fellow students, is unfathomable. Yet with it all she keeps her charms and graciousness of manner. She takes great interest in Gym. (Jim), and her favorite studies are sewing and cooking. Helen has a tendency to oversleep the l)reakfast hour, but she is always sup- plied with breakfast — for the solution of this mystery examine her coat pockets after the supper of the night before. She is an ardent supporter of the Suffrage cause, and very loyally joined their parade — indeed her enthusiasm was so great that a young spike in the heel of her shoe did not daunt her. Aryan Page 154 Katiiekine R. Sweeney, Xewtown Square, Pa. Like twilif ht. too. her diiskx luiir. Her eyes as stars of tivili,i;lit fair. Katlieriiie, known to some of her friends as Katrine, came to us three years ago from Newtown S(|nare High School, where she graduated with lionors. Did some one say Katherine was quiet? Look closer and you will see a smile which soon becomes a merry laugh when she hears a joke. Kath- erine has had some interesting experiences while coming up on the car, . and always does her part to keep things going. She is especially good in Latin, but her spare mo- ments are spent faithfully experimenting in the chemical laboratory, being a chemical compound of various characteristics. .-Vs Katherine expects to teach after graduation, we all wisli her happiness and success. Beui-. h D. T. 1!Ek. . Boyertown, Pa. An earl, an earl, iiiv kini clom for an earl! Boyertown High School sent Beulah to us. We found her quiet and unassuming but with a big broad smile ready for any who might have the rare good fortune to call it forth. Beulah has always been inter- ested in Agriculture, in fact we think it her favorite study. If you should suddenly enter her room some study period you would most probably find her with an . g. ' book (sup- plemented by notes from State College) in one hand, contentedly munching a sweet potato, smuggled from the dinmg room be- neath the very eyes of the Major. The gleam in her big dark eyes predicts a life more full than that of an ordinary peda- gogue and her aspirations warrant the pre- diction. An.n ' .v W. T.wlor West Chester, Pa. To knozc her is to loi ' e her. Annie is one of our day students and has made many friends around Normal. She may seem very quiet to those in Study Hall. but those who know her find her very jolly and a friend worth while. Look out, here comes a mouse, . nnie! Now girls, can ' t you see her run? But there, . nnie doesn ' t like to hear about mice. O dear, girls, come and take a walk, is an expression fa- miliar to her friends, for walking is her favorite pastime and enables her to en- lighten her city friends on the beauties of nature. Annie is a conscientious student and persevering in everything she under- takes. .According to her present capabili- ties in the line of Domestic Science we pre- dict a happy future before her. rage 155 Moore Maky Bowen Thomas. .Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Socs, a.s .she is known to all, is one of the girls who hail from Wilkes-Barre. She is one of our best students, which is shown by her praties, and is an e.xjjert mathemati- cian, and with the same zeal that she does mathematics she will cope with the problems i f the world. Socs is an enthusiastic and active member of the Aryan Society, which she joined soon after her arrival in 1914. She has failings the same as the rest of us, her two greatest ones being talking and playing tennis at 5 a.m. with some of the members of Wayne Hall. Member of the Y. W. C. A. Aryan Sarah Thomas Frazer, Pa. Tommie. We owe to Fra cr High School the mem- ber of our class we all know as ' ' Tominie. For three years she has been acquiring knowledge at the West Chester State Nor- mal School. She seems especially interested in Grammar, that being her favorite subject. Tommie did splendid in the dance in the third year play, due no doubt to her physi- cal training during that year. Though she has had many invitations to take her meals in the dining room, she still is satisfied to carry her lunch with her to school. It seems to be Tommie ' s highest and ilion to do the things that Doctor Green asks of his pupils. We wish her success in her work. Aryan Sak.mi J. Thomas Tayloria, Pa. The true student of Icaniin; , the world liolds her dear — Love bless her. joy croten her. God speed her career. Yes, here ' s another of that numerous Thomas family. This one is Sara J. After two years of teaching in the country, Sara c.ime to us, eager to get the best out of Normal life. We feel that she has, because she has put her best into it. She is fond of athletics, conscientious and faithful in her studies, interested in all class affairs, and a promi ient worker in the Y. W. C. A. Sara J. is loved by her friends on account of her sincerity and loyalty to what she thinks is right. In a way, we hope those letters and flowers she gets don ' t mean anytliin.g, be- cause she will make such a good teacher. Aryan Page 156 Helen G. Timlin. .Ashlaiul. i ' a. If asked tn describe Helen mie wiuihl nat- urally first say, she is a very ([uiet liiiikiiij girl: but things are not always what they seem, and Helen is no exception to the rule. Helen is as conscientious anil bright a student as can be readily testified to, by her brilliant records. She takes a great in- terest in (jerman and we wonder if certain conversations had anything to do with this. Her favorite pastime is dodging fire escajic drills, for Helen could never be found when a fire drill was announced. Helen is de- voted to her school life. It will always hold a charm for her because of the mennu ' ies of a certain Bill which she lelt at Normal School. Helen says she intends to teach for a number of years. Moore Clifford Ernest Timmons, Dagsboro, Del. Tim. .I titau lie was to all his classmates dear. A hospitable and very altruistic gentleman. Of course he attributes all that to the fact that he comes from Delaware. Von never hear him speak of the girls, or love affairs, but he is right there when the ladies are near. .A.t times he is inclined toward rough- housing, for he thinks that is a better way of reducing weight than by cutting break- fast. Trivial affairs never occupy his mind. He believes that life is what we make it, and in conforming to this motto he strives to do everything he undertakes with zeal. More- over, wc find him an ardent athlete and societv worker. He is very eager to learn, and study about The Hr.man Machme. Serpentine staff, Sec ' y Y. M. C. A. Moore M. ui;. KET C.

By her studious and unas- suming disposition she has won her way into the hearts of all her class mates. Peg spends hours in the gymnasium, so that she may reduce her avoirdupois. So- ciology is of special interest to her, as she is interested in all social topics. She is an expounder of wedlock and happmess: has its theories definitely formulated, and is herself cut out by nature to unite and be united. She has a peculiar fondness of State Col- lege. We wonder wdiy, but that is easily solved when we behold the smiling counte- nance of Peg coming from the dining room with a letter in hand. Moore Page i57 Helen E. Unueuwoou Pottsville, Pa.

Elimi- nate the poison, and in Helen we have the best. Helen is all that one could wish for in a friend. She is a verv good student, and is indeed very bright. In this quality Helen stands among the first in her class. She takes an active part in Y. W. C. A. work, and in everything is very sincere and con- scientious. She takes private elocution les- sons in preparation for her stump speaking for the Woman SuiTrage cause. Her favor- ite expression is, Till, you make me sick. Helen ' s strong will and wonderful personality have won her the admiration of many. Aryan Ruth Updyke Bristol, N. J. Behold! Here is a black-eyed beauty, who hails from the prominent city of Britsol. From the progress which this little lady has made while at school and the high expec- tations which she liolds one woudd know her motto, Hitch your wagon to a star, with- out asking. Ruth takes keen delight inbotli literature and chemistry and in these her knowledge is quite extensive. Since both tennis and skating are harmless sports, Ruth indulges in them freely, but always remem- bers school rules, a rather remarkable quality for such an attractive young maiden to possess. Even though she becomes easily shocked, she is a good sport and well liked by the students. Aryan H. zel M. VanZandt Sellersville, Pa. Beneath this mild exterior there lies a deal of misehicf. Hazel is the jolliest and kindest of girls, as merry as the day is long. What should we do without her? She studies and frets (not too frccincntly) about public speaking, but her tri ubles will soon be over. Tennis, swimming, skating and hiking are her fa- votitc sports at school, but when at home, her greatest pleasure is to be riding or driv- ing, a horse or an automobile. Ask her what a good horse is and she will tell you One that gets there. As she always goes into things to win, we know that the will win her goal. Moore Page 158 F.Mii.v I ' ..

Ethel never worries over lessons, and is always ready for every good time that comes along. During study hour it is hard to tell where she rooms, as she is likely to be all over the hall in the course of an evening. Her good marks show that she does not spend all her tmie in fun.

Most people think she is quiet, but ask those who know her best. Indeed she is not such a (|uiet, sedate little girl, but quite to the contrary she is jolly and full of life. Aside from this she is attractive and pos- sesses talents in abundance. She is tal- ented especially along musical and artistic lines, and along most lines in general. Be she ever so perfect, she is human and has her failings like the rest of us. One of her failings is, every once in a while giving vent to her feelings in her favorite way with an Oh, Gee! in her weak little voice. Aryan Alice Eli.en White Cossart, Pa. Alice, sometimes known as Billy, is the dearest, sweetest little blue-eyed dumpling in the world. Or so all her friends think, es- pecially that impiirtant element in mankind, the mail-man. In the year 1914 she turned her sad face toward the West Chester Normal, but she wasn ' t here but a short time until she just smiled and laughed all the time. And did you ever see Alice smile? When she laughs all the world laughs with- her. . ' Xnd she studies, too. If you could only see those candle stumps in her room! Do you wonder why we call her Billy?

Yes, Helen is tall and she is light-haired, but she is much more than this. To begin with, she is lots of fun and a terrible tease. She is intelligent, for she can argue with the faculty, and she can teach drawing, for Miss Groome said so. Besides she can play tennis and she can swim. She can play the piano, crochet and embroider. In fact, there is little she can- not do. Didn ' t she even capture a bald- headed mm? Moore ' Ruby L. ' illin Oak Grove, Del.

She came to us from Downingtown in the fall of 1914, and since then has made many friends. Her greatest desire is to travel and explore the western states, California being her favorite destina- tion. She excels in athletics and Domestic Science, and is constantly giving advice toiler friends, such as, Girls, keep your desks clean, for those who keep a dirty desk will surely keep a dirty house.

Dennisville evidently has some happy hunting grounds around it, be- cause Dick likes to tell of various hunting trips. There must be some game in the surrounding country of West Chester also, else why those long walks to the wood? We might explain it by the fact that he is fond of nature study, but we are inclined to think that there is a Sliort(y)er reason.

Although many things stood out in mv memory, I had almost forgotten a great number of old friends and events until my dream of last night. What a wonderful dream that was ! It seemed as though I were standing on a high balcony observing a pageant passing by. Each event was one of my former happy days at Xormal. The idea occurred to me that the events written in order would be almost good enough for a class history. I heartily wished I had had something like that when I had to write the class history, ' way back there in ' i6. Any way this dream did me a great fleal of good in that it refreshed my memory and caused me to live through and enjoy again the good times of my school-days. First of all, the standard floated along, — our banner of red and black, with a g ' old and silver fringe, — invisil)Ie in ' t6 but seemingly in- vincible in ' 36. Close I ehind canre the ring-l)earer, a large Lady with a tray of various golden rings and pins. Following this, there appeared a little lx)y, drawing a cart filled with flowers of great assortment. Among them there were sun-flowers, brown-eyed Susans, butter-cups, and last, but far from least. Jacqueminot roses. The next attraction was a long snake-like formation of whooping Indians, shotting arrows here and there. Then I recalled our class play and the many pleasant though perspiring hours on South Campus. All seemed blank for quite a while, when swiftly but distinctly came four glittering, golden apples rolling along the Road of Class Opinion. The apples were engraved respectively with President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Suddenly thev come to a fork in the road. One road was crowded with individuals bearing a banner with Moore upon it, and the other with similar individuals with an . ryan bamier. . skirmi.sh ensued. Each party seemed to be struggling for the apples. Finally the turmoil ceased and the procession moved quietly rOC: THE SERPENTINE My attention was then called to a cloud-like mass from which flashed books, alumni funds, bronze tablets, victrolas, flag-poles, busts, and sun-dials. Tile clamor seemed to continue with little abatement. Pres- ently my pity was aroused by a meek looking little figure, clad in a solemn cap and gown. It was l eing sadly beaten and abused by the mob and its sui porters seemed unable to protect it. Suddenly it disappeared into a hole in tlie grcjund. Then came dim representations of a sleigh-ride, a trip to Washing- ton and finally State Board. The end of the pageant came as a gl ori- ous Aurora Borealis, with Commencement on a huge placard in the midst. I seemed to live again the ecstacy of the Alumni Banquet. This must have proved too much for me, because I awoke. At first I could not realize such a span of years had elapsed, and my reveries of school days slowly merged into slumber again. Irene Randall.

From the beginning we have been a popular factor in every field of Normal activity. Our athletic ability was first demonstrated by our g ' irls ' strong basket ball team defeating the Seniors ; again a number of our boys made the scrub basket ball team, and, not content with this, are at present aspiring for prominence as base ball stars. Was not our athletic ability shown in the indoor meet ? In the Literary Societies we have been conspicuous and. also, in the V. W. and Y. I. we have stood out prominently. Perhaps the most important event of our class will be the Shakes- pearean Festival. Such have been the chief events of our Junior year. It has been a year of joy and prosperity and one whose history we will always be glad to recall. We have worked and become a factor in the Normal life. In an attempt to take part in the order of tilings we have desired the ' respect of the other classes and believe we have secured it.. Proud of our class thus far in its history, we realize that much of the success which may l)e ours in our life work we shall have to attribute to our . lma Mater, and we shall do all in our power to aid in her growth and progress.

The man who has the physical development alone is httle more than a brute : the man who has the intellectual development alone is a lx)ok-worm, but these two joined together with the spiritual, which is the greatest of all, fits a man for the higher and nobler things of life. This spiritual side is brought to us vividly by the many able speakers who come to us through the efforts of our beloved president. Dr. Green. This is the twenty-fifth year for Dr. Green as president of the Associa- tion, having started it in 1891. Since that time, there have been few fel- lows in this school whose lives have not been touched and bettered by his influence. On Thursday night of each week the boys assemble in the Y.M.C.A. room of Wayne Hall, forgetting their daily toil and cares, as a body of Christian men to worship their God and receive His message as brought by His servants. The interesting feature of the year ' s work was the lec- ture given by Alfred Noy.se, on April 21, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. . . When we have left these walls, the memories and impressions re- ceived in the Association room will linger longer than any of those re- ceived in any other phaze of our school work. We sincerely hope this good work will continue under the leadership of our friend, teacher and president. Dr. Green. Clifford IJ. Timmons.

Every member of the siK ' iety was full of enthusiasm and worked ery earnestly, which was continued throughout the entire school year. It is very gratifying to see how many new m.embers entered into the work of the society and made their debut into the world of public entertainers in the Normal Auditorium. The .society opened the new scho(jl year with a farce comedy in three acts, entitled The Elopement of Ellen, in which some very interesting, modern features were pfesented, one of whicli was the study oi domestic ec( inomy. The Eorty-fourth Anniversarv nt the Mmire Literary Society occur- red October 23rd, 19 15. The President and Secrctarv for the evening were Mr. Charles Catherman and Miss Alma A. A. Ettlich. The spe- cial feature of the program was a recital given by sexeral members of the Metropolitan Opera Company acting in place of Mr. David Bispham, who was unable to fill his engagement. The social hour, which followed, was filled with the enthusiasm of former years. A special feature of (ine of the ])r()grams nf the year was a vocal solo. entitled My I-ittle Grey Ibmic in the W ' est, sung by Mr. Morrow Hart, Page lilj THE SERPENTINE of Phiiadelphia. an Old Aloore. A meeting- in the latter part of the fall term, conducted entirely by the girls, was very interesting. It was not until the fall of 1914 that the Moores decided that the girls of their society should l)e given an opportunity to enter into the ac- tive life of the society by the adoption of a prize essay contest. This year twenty-one girls entered into the contest. The first prize was won by Elizal)eth P owell ; second prize by Frances Steinmueller, while Mar- garet Alahaffey won the third prize. .Ml the essayists deserve great praise for the splenditl work they submitted. A Shakesi earean meeting was held in the fore part of the spring term. It put everyone into the Shakespeare spirit and ga e each of us short glimpses into some scenes of his various plays. This is the 44th year that the Moore Society has been e.xerting its influence in this school. Its help in training jjeople for the pu1)lic- speaking world cannot be doubted. The Moores of the class of 1916 are ' ery sorry that the close re- lationsliii w itii tiieir society nnist be severed. We hope that the society will always e.xert a powerful influence and wish that those who come after us and take up our work will be successful, never forgetting those helpful v ords, To Know Is To Rule.

We began our year with earnest work among the Aryans and secured a greater number of members than during and pre- ceding year. The main feature of our opening meeting was a comedy, in four acts, entitled Charlie ' s Country Cousin, whose roles were well interpreted by its characters. One of the most important and long anticipated events in our year ' s meetings was the debate with tlie Freshmen of Swarthmore College. That this debate would some time take place and that a relation would be established between the Aryan Society and that College, has been the de- sire of many of its members for several years. This first annual debate was held April 8, 1916, in the Normal School auditorium and was pre- sided over by Prof. Smith Burnham, with Hon. J. Frank F. Hause, Supt. Thomas A. Bock and Mr. Ernest Harvey, Esq., acting as judges. The (juestion. Resolved, That an international police force should be estab- lished to enforce international treaties and agreements and preserve in- ternational peace, was decided in favor of the negative side. The teams were arranged as follows : Aryan Team — AfHrmative Swarthmore Team — Negative. Margaret McDonald Detleo W. Bronk (Capt.) Clarence R. Stitzer (Capt.j James P. Arnold Irene Miller Allin H. Pierce Lester Nelson (Ah.) Page 196 — THE SERPENTINE Although nut successful, our team did highly CdUinieudahle work and deserves much praise. We hope that these deljates may be contiuued and that the students will take an interest in them. Our si)ecial meeting during Spring term was in reality An Evening With John Townsend Trowbridge. Several of his works were inter- estingly produced after the reading of an essay on his life and works. The play, The Troublesome Investment. dramatized from Trnw- britlge ' s Coupon Bonds. and gi en during the second half n the pro- gramme was well-reutlered. I ' or various reasons the boys ' and girls ' annual oratorical ctmtests were combined this year and held on May 6, lyiO. Six boys and six boys entered the final contest, those receiving the prizes of $15, $10 and $5, respectively, being the following: — GIRLS BOYS Irene Miller Henri del Sobral Ro.s. zeigler Clarence Gocklev Kdith MacMlllin. W ' .vltek S. I i:kgi ' .son. The thirty-sixth aiuii -ersary of the Society was held this year on May 20, 19 16. As usual many former members returned and were pleas- ed by the evening ' s entertainment, a Shakespearian play, entitled The Merchant of Venice. This was given by the Art-Drama Players, of New York, whose company consists almost entirely of star actors. The business meetings during the year have been full of interest and enthusiasm which was evidently due to their good attendance. The Society ' s choruses have been unusually attract i ' e, several special ones having been rendered. The joint orchestra, established last year, has proved very successful and helped greatly in adding to the attractiveness of our regular, as well as special, meetings. W ' e are sorry not to be able to continue in our close relations with the society, but we feel sure that its future sustainers will derive as much Ijenefit and will produce a stronger oragnization every year, encouraged by the thought that The End Crowns The Work.

You say this is a new and wonderful application of a new science, namely, the L ' niversity Ivxtension Course? Those of us who have survived it can speak. We speak : We were innocent and simple-minded folk with the satisfaction of all ignorance and the fe;ir of all knowledge when it was suggested that a party of us take a tri]) to the Old World to .see how the (ireat War of 1914 was progressing. The suggestion was unanimousl ' adopted and we booked our names on the register of the steamshii) European History. We, fortunately, secured as captain of the crew a giant, in whose hands we placed our li es unreservedly. He was honored with an unpronounc- able name that l egins very musically and ends with a rippling brook — Ling ' elbach — and is otherwise known as, Louis Philippe. We Ijade heart-rending ' farewells to our American friends and on the ajjpointed day we left the . nierican shore and entered upon a oyage which we knew would be fraught with dangers. We had had fine weather and a pleasant time on board ship, except for a few cases of seasickness, which occurred when certain library refer- ences were rec|uired of us. But such good luck did not last long, for one h riday afternoon the captain demanded of those on board an answer to this stunner, E.xpound syndicalism, giving the etymology of the term, history of its use and practice, and its present significance to the citizens of the Republic of hTance. Was it any wonder that a storm l roke loose that afternoon and the elements fought a pitched battle? The cannon roared, swords Hashed in air, sharp preceptory commands rose above the din while the waves advanced, were repulsed by the enemy and retreated. . t the command of their general, the Wind, howe er, they took new courage and returned to the onslaught. rhe ' beat upon our Hanks and we were hard pressed.

The question had been ans- wered by Mrs. N. with the help of Mr. B. By daybreak we were under way ag ' ain and there was smooth sailing once more. Our journey continued uneventful, so we improved our time by studying the history of the warring nations so as to have our minds im- bued with the truth and if possible to seek out the causes of this great struggle. We were within four days of our journey ' s end, when horror of horrors! We were torpedoed by a sub-marine — an examination was hurled at us, not to speak of the paper to l e prepared, lliree of our nuni- l er never survived the shock of the awful catastrophe, while there was Page 200 — THE SERPENTINE wailiii.i - and . iKLsliini;- ni tCL ' th updii the part n these whu thini hl they CDiildn ' t pass it, knew they coukhi ' t ])ass it. and tliose wlio were ahsuhitelv sure they woiilthi ' t pass it.

He was a combination, this diminutix ' e person, called Lichtenberger, of the two sides of life, coiuedy and tragedy, d he first side of his nature was made evident bv a recollection he once brought to the surface of his vast store of knowledge. ' hether he spoke from exoerience we cannot say, but this was the liurden of what he recalled: The shortest marri- age ceremonv ever performed was conducted on this wise — Have him? Ha ' e her ? Hitched. The other side of his nature was portrayed by the depth of his reasoning. He was kind and helpful in his own wise way, as you will all agree when he told us that the solution f)f our ])overty was not one of relief. But he assured us that we could solve the terril)le prob- lem only by an attack upon the causes. Some of us grew hopeful. But when he unearthed and brought to light before the eves of our classmates the verv root of our poverty stricken condition — drink, extravagance, death of husband, sickness, mental deran ' ement. old asj ' e. and crime — we were disgraced for all time. .Mas. most Ivitter medicine! He nrescribed for us a condition of slavery, for in this social relationship only is there no such thing as povertv. We had not thought that this little elf could liarixjr in his small mind such cruel jjlans for our annihilation. To make matters still more un- bearable he ni w l)egan to anuise himself for hours at a stretch and sub- jected us to nervous jirostration by talking on subjects which were far be- CLASS NINE rEEN SIXTEEN )oik1 (lur intellectual J4ras[j — we were mere strap-hangers, lie got off a dissertation on the philosophical view of recreation and forcibly brought our attention to the fact that it is injurious to the mortal soul. Then the shackles were drawn tighter and tighter until we thought they must cut our flesh when Spartaca, sister to the famous gladiator of old, rose up from among us and fought for the fast-losing cause. Those who were fellow sufferers in that class will little note nor long remember what the professor did here, but they can never forget what Miss G. said here. She brought new life into our blood and incited us to deeds of daring (|uite unheard of — we failed ever to glimpse behind the covers of the Surveys we were supposed to read. Hut our triumph was short lived, for the chains were padlocked and the climax came — in the shape of a scientifically written paper to be prepared, an unheard of bibliography, and as a consequence many sleejjless nights and sleepful days. III. Mathematics If you care to see the cream of intellectual attainment in the W. C. S. N. S. stroll some Tuesday evening into A6. You say it isn ' t so ? Ah ! another true statement. Xote some of the worthies as they enter, the tall and stately Hallett with magnetic air is the exponent of mathematical knowledge. Among the first of the mental gymnasts to arrive is Mr. K., smiling, too; Mr. W. towering high above Mrs. X., who walks by his side: Mr. L. with that look of premature gravity so common to his countenance, wdiile in groups follow the minor satellites. . nd now begins the analysis of the mental capacities of the various members and quite a task it is, for we regard zero as incapable of further analysis. One of the distinguished members, pedagogically inclined, proud of his powers and fond of their successful display, at once tells Dr. H. how to proceed in the solution of problems. Another speaker, Dr. H, I don ' t see how that is. Thereupon proceeds a lengthy discus- sion during which a yawn or two is heard and the hands of some members are placed so as to suspiciously shade the eyes. The majority, realizing that the o x won his whole reputation through looking wi.se and keeping (juiet have nothing to say. Dr. H., however, does not permit conversation to lapse and what can be expected? I, or as far as Wisdom is concerned, a man isn ' t a spring; he ' s a tank and gives out only what he gathers. Oh, well, it takes a mighty smart man to know enough to conceal what he doesn ' t know and Mr. S. is to be credited with that. Straight lines and circles, parobalas and ellipses, hyperbolas and comics, equations and coordinates, axes and radius rectors ; take your choice and keep the change if you are so lucky as to have any. The jjreliminaries are not yet oxer with and yet the future is a l)lack- board and we have the chalk. Pase 202 — THE SERPENTINE IV. English History We were initiated ] a Imi shallow (li e in the ' ast snbject of English History. It was a refreshin.t; ' exjierience and we have enjoyed the weekly swims ever since.. . s the hour for the calhno- of the class grows clo.ser one can see the fishes coming from all directions as fast as their fins can convey them; not that they are coming at the last minnte init are yearning to grasp the intellectual nourishment weeklv in store for them. We have sailed through the course with colors flying lx)ldly for the Prof. who was our beac:in light took pity upon us in our benighted con- dition. King and Parliament reigned supreme over us every Friday af- ternoon ; King, our dear Professor Howland, Parliament, composed of two omniscient pedagogues who managed to keep his attention so con- centrated on themselves and their views of the subject in hand that we, of the common herd, escaped from displaying our nil pervading ignorance. Discussions on religion, as introduced among the -ariety of sub- jects ofifered for our consumption, were often served up. One morsel, taken from an old Presbyterian hymnal, we welcomed with glee. It ran thus : — V e are the elect, the chosen few. Let all the rest be dammed: There ' s room enough in hell for you, We don ' t want heaven crammed. Professor Howland didn ' t give a whoop, as he expressed it. if we failed to become enlightened on the home and foreign jKilicy as well as the economic, religious and political development of England. For our scales had reached maturity, our fins were in perfect condition: all of us possessed normal health conditions so that it was our own fault if we failed to drink from the stream of knowledge and understanding in which we found ourselves at regular inter als, and breathe the purifying air of proper historical interpretation. V. Geography of North and South America . scant twenty-fi e ho])efully started out on a search for a rich mine of Geographical Know ledge. The exjjedition had been carefully planned with a competent man at its head, namely. Professor Roorbach, another member of that illustrious brook family. Shoulder to shoulder, the sturdy little band delved beneath the surface of all superficial things into the realms of un]ironouncable geograi)hical terms. - t first the interest was at white heat for a ein had lieen struck and all were hot foot to discover its richness and extent. Now came a dif- ference of opinion — one of those occurrences which are so rare but which, when experienced, prove so fatal to good sense and manners. One see- page 203 CLASS NINETEEN SIXTEEN tioii (it the little hand decided that thev already knew sn iiiucli ahout the siihject in hand and were possessed of snch wondertnl memories that all note taking was su|)ert1uons. These damsels sjient their time gazing upon the appointments of the library surroundings. Can we Mieve they found them interesting? Surely not, but what about the boys just down across the way? Of this dissenting element, Mr. T. was the distinguished leader. He was wont to ask cpiestions of such e.xtensive length and went into such flights of orator - that by the time he had to stoj) for want of breath, Roorbach could not have told whether an extem])oraneous speech or a prepared lecture had l)een sprung upon him. The other half of the party, however, continued to probe for geo- graphical knowledge. ] Iany a research was unearthed and brought to light by these persistent miners. Among the rewards of their valiant efforts were maps — oh, yes — maps galore, wonderful maps on which they never tired of tracing routes. The jirofessor was very lenient in this respect for he re(|uired them to find only six routes at once Ijetween two si ecified points ; one each by mule back, road, water, steam, trolley, and last, but not least, by air ship. . nother characteristic member of the search party was Mrs. N. who kept the wlieels of the drills so cogged with her ideas and suggestions that they formed c|uite a good shield for the onslaughts which the i rofessor some- times made upon his subjects. It was nearing time for the party to return to the common ground le el of the regular Normal School course when it was announced that an examination of the resi ective memebers of the party was to be an- ticipated.. Then did the foolish virgins beg for oil from the wise. You know the story, the marriage feast, viz. : the exam, caiue and the wise virgins went into the celebration while the door was closed upon the fool- ish irgiiis, the exam, was stiff and they had flunked. VI. Nineteenth Century Poetry What more fitting season than the Springtime could one wish for in which to learn to know and love those human songsters — the Eng- lish poets of the Nineteenth Century? The mediator on our behalf to this wofld of enchantment and bliss waved his golden wand, cast his spell and we became unresisting subjects to his witchery. We were in the world but not of it. What were the potions employed we may some dav learn if ever we can shake off the gossamer threads which bind us so lightly, vet none the less securely. Many ] ossible conjectures have been brought to bear — can it be his overawint ' aupearaance? For this medicine man, McClelland, towered head and siioulders above us insiti ' niticant I,illii)utians, while the desk, which we unsuspectingly ]il;iced for him at his coming, jiroved to be Pa?e 204 VIEW OF ENTIRE CAMPUS THE SERPENTINE as a mushroom ti) a spruce. W ' lien he opened his nioutli to speak, lie in- variably rolled his eyes heavenward and kept them there durint;- the must of his heautiful-worded discourses on subjects such as the i)hilosophical signiticance of life as embodied in Wordsworth ' s poems or the combined artistic (pialities and the supernatural revelations in the Ancient Mariner. Was it any wonder that some of us can testify to experienc- ing most wonderful opium dreams after listening to a harangue of this nature? Was it this air of heavenly fellowship with the stars which en- ticed us or that characteristic way our instructor had of laughing on one side of his mouth and, when serious, of talking out of the (jther side? We often felt pangs of pity for him on account of the facial contortions accomiianying the reading of Scotch dialect, but we could not prevent him from reading his beloved Burns for a ' that and a ' that. I will no longer pry into the cause of our enchantment. Suffice it to say that such was the state of being in which we lived. And then a terrible thing happened ui)on a beautiful Spring evening when the breath of growing things floated in at the open windows and the spell was all around us. Our star fell to earth and told us a joke. It ran on this wise: A fond husband left home for a week ' s visit with the parting injunction from his wife to be sure to put on a clean shirt every day. When he returned he was looking rather warm and prosperous. His wife a.sked him whether he had done as she told him. He answered decidedly in the aftirmative, and so it has ever been and ever will be that our ideals are snuffed out as a flickering candle light by the stirring breeze. Our heroes come down to the common clay of which they are a part, and we are prone to cry, with groans and tremulous shuddering — .A.11 is over! But now in the maturity of our university credits, with a careful P placed after our names (P suggests perfect, but not at the University), we realize that jiossibly it was all for the best. Emm. C.

West Chester Normal 1|L School looked out upon a white world. All nig;ht it had snowed, and more than one heart beat a little faster at the thought that the longed-for. niuch-talked-about Senior sleigh ride might come to pass. Our anticipations were realized when a Senior class meeting was called at noon by the president, and everybody turned out full force. Arrange- ments were made with Mr. Smith, and promptly at four o ' clock two hun- dred happy Seniors, bundled in coats and sweaters, with a crowd of en- vious third-years at our heels, met in front of Main lUiilding. and finally, about five o ' clock, when e ery sleigh had heen packed and rejjacked, and was full to overflowing, we were ready, anil off we flew, every one in for a good time. The members of the basket-ljall s(|uad were iitiable to go on account of practice. It was surely a wonderful time, especially for the occupants of one sleigh, who ( say it softly ) had escaped without a chaperone. For some une.xplainable reason the boys and girls were actually sitting side by side in the same sleigh. If you don ' t believe it, ask Lester. Floyd, also; al- though very busy overseeing matters, managed to take time to select a particular sleigh, when anv other would ha -e been just as good. H — m, well! Although the ride was short, it was an eventful one for at least one of the sleighs, whose horses ran into a telegraph pole, nearly overturning the sleigh and causing a disastrous ending to a happy party. After a little delay, they were fixed u]) and went on their way. none the worse for the accident. Nor was the ride without its educational value, for sev- eral of the g ' irls, by pestering their dri er with questions succeeded in making a survey of his horses for Ag. Yells and cheers followed one after another in hajjiiy succession and time did not lag. Only once did our spirits drop, which naturally was when we saw that we were turning toward Normal once more. Who of us did not feel like riding all night in the brisk air and under those beau- tiful stars in the country sky. But soon we found the only thing left to do was t(3 make the best of what seemed to us a bad iob. and we soon resumed our high spirits and came back singing and yelling ' as happily as we went. But all gootl things must end. Two minutes before seven the last sleigh unloaded and every- body marched into the dining room tired and stiff, but happy — and hungry. Here our apfietites were appeased by spare ribs and sweet pota- toes. . happv ending to a hajipv time ! M. KV B. Thgm.vs. ' 16. Mary C.

I lad a S])irit of a Lcnni Lenape tribesman, the original red- skin dweller of Chester county, come down South High Street to Rose- dale Avenne, he would have given one war-whoo]) and made a rush for the midst of his fellow tribesmen on South Campus. Xor woukl his jjale-faced brother have blamed him for the error. There the Indian would have fountl in a village along the banks of the Brandywine, feathered warriors, gayly blanketed scpiaws, and his home — a wigwam, in the midst of a grove of evergreens. To the audience, composed of about one thousand persons, the stage of grass, and the wings — large trees — provided a most attractive and ap- propriate setting for the Arrow Maker. Even when showers threat- ened, did their interest abate? At two-thirty o ' clock the pageant started to wind its way from the Li- brarv to the scene of the iilay. The meni1)ers of the cast preceded about one hunilred other members of 191 A. dressed in Indian costume. They did a snake dance and gave a warwhoop along the way and around the stage several times. Then the retinue seated itself in a semi-circle in front of the andience. The president of the class. Clarence Stitzer, ga e a short address of welcome, in which he callid attention to the central thought of the play, — that genius bekjr.gs not to the individual but to the community. The plav itself is one of American Indian life. The action takes place in the foot hills of the Sierras in California, ])ri(. r to its occii] ation by the white jieople. There arc three acts, the scenes if which are laid in the following places : . CT 1. The Chisera ' s ' ickiu] . X ' alley of Sagharawite. ACT II. The Camp of Sagharawite. ' i ' hree months later. ACT III. The To]i of Toorape. One year later. W ' ar is imminent between the Tribes of Sagharawite and Castac. The chief of the former. Rain Wind, is so old that a new one must l)e chosen. Padahoon should be Rain Wind ' s successor, bnt the young men Page 209 CLASS NINETEEN SIXTEEN fa -or Sinnva, the Arrow Maker. The council sits and instructs the Chisera, or Medicine Woman, to inquire the will of the gods in the matter. Sinnva feigns love for the Chisera in order that she might instruct the council in his favor. He gains her love easily, for she has lived a lonely, lo e-hungry life. Three months later he marries Bright Water, the chieftain ' s daugh- ter. Chisera comes to the wedding, and in her jealousy she calls down a curse upon the whole tril e. The next year brings famine, death, and defeat to the Sagharawites. The council jjronounces death u|M)n the Chisera if she refuses to make good medicine. In the meanwhile the leadership is given to Padaho(jn, who kills Simwa when he attempts to shoot the Chisera. The latter renews her blessing, recalls the tribe to action, and leads them liack triumjjhant to their own Valley of Sagharawite. The participants all took their respective parts most efficiently. The audience felt the love and jealousy of the Chisera, the rascality of Simwa and the innocence of Bright Water. d ' he dance of the maidens of Sagharav ite was gracefully and jjrettily done. Much credit for the success of the play was due to the untiring efforts of Miss Denwcjrth, the coach, and to the executive committee, composed of the following persons: Irene Randall, Tillie Meyer, Elizateth Beau- mont, Sara Cuthbcrt, Clarence Stitzer antl Lester Xels n.

There were 218 of us left West Chester, and all of us arrived here at 9.25, even though we passed through I lkton and had a minister on l)oard the train. Shortly after )ur arrival we met President ilson in the Executive Ofifice, after waiting our turn till two other schools had had that honor. One of these was a boys ' school, as observed by Mary G., who ex- claimed, Come on Elva! We next mafle our way to the Capitol, and under special guides saw the interesting parts of that building, some needing more assistance than the special guides afforded. Our tour of the Capitol showed us the be- ginning of Congress, as well as the beginning of some phenomena pe- culiar to Normal School life, namely, Helen and Der Kaiser, chaper- oned by Mr. Lady and Miss Judd. Schrope, after many trials, finally de- cided to center his attentions u|)on Miss Searing. George Yocum was very much interested in IVcstward Ho. The tour around the dome was especi- allv interesting to Air. Keller and Miss Beswick, not to mention their pleasant rambles through the Capitol. We cannot describe all that went on at the Capitol, known and unknown, but after meeting Hon. Champ Clark and Vice-President Marshall, we collected on the front steps for the picture. Here we tried to keep up the spirit of the Normal bv .giving a yell. We beg t() ask our autlience to go with us on our tour through the city at this time. ( Pardon the scribbling, but one of our dear teachers has just said, Hurry, for it is midnight and these boys will never go to bed as long as these girls are hanging around. ) Here came Mr. Roberts, looking as if he were out for the night. We ' ll now return to this ride. The sights were excellent, both in the cars and outside. No. i, the un- lucky car had a break-down and the people had to return by trolley car. Either the cold weather (jr the environment caused come of our most re- ti ring and bashful young gentlemen to follow the example of the presi- dent of the class and the manager of the class l ook. George D. found himself a Miller, and when the cars stopped for sight-seeing they were always out taking pictures and were last on board. And Dague didn ' t Page 213 CLASS NINETEEN SIXTEEN outslass his chum Merrill, for he was there with Miss McAlullen. One of the cars was unbalanced, Idr un the rear seat were three felluws and one girl. It appeared as if the - were very bashful, fur they let this one girl sit on the end of the seat and freeze while they sat there and wondered. Can you imagine Dooley on this seat i As usual the Seniors were up bright and early Friday morning, many of them taking walks before breakfast. The first place of interest after breakfast was the Corcoran Art Gallery, which was enjoyed very much by all. Vxowi there we walked to the State, War and Navy Building. It was on this walk that the new cases of the day started. Mr. Jones and Miss Bell, Mr. High and Miss F aucett, formino- one of the interesting bunches. In order that they would not forget the day they had their pic- tures taken together. Mr. Weljb and Miss Lloyd enjoyed the pleasure of being together during Secretary Baker ' s interesting talk and his reception afterwards. We again visited the White House, seeing- the East Room. Red Room, Blue Room, Dining Room and others. After this our party separated, some going to the Washington Monument, some to the Corcoran Art Gal- lery, but pssiWy the most interesting point was thi ' Washington Monu- ment. How the Seniors did enjoy sauntering up and down those steps. For those to whom that did not appeal there was an elevator. Miss Criley takes Prof. Starkey ' s jilace here and shakes the (pair) pear trees. They are all gone now except us, who are writing the letter, Fridav morning, the Washington Herald pruits in bold head-lines, Several Students Lost Last Xight Between the Capitol Building and the Metropolitan Hotel.

Schrope and Aliss Grace, his latest U]) to date, however, this artist is very fickle. Next we took cars for the Na y ' ard. Here we were received by the Band, which g-ave us several selections of nnisic. After this reception we went clown to the President ' s ' acht and l oarded it. The Jackies were both courteous and curious, and many wanted to know where this crowd of girls came from. Dague severed his attentions from his 1-ady of Thursday and centered them upon M. Thomas. This sudden in- fatuation may be due to the fact that President ' ilson used this yacht on his wedding tcnir. I ' Viday evening many parties went to the theatre. The couples that ex ' ening were hard to keep track of. Page 214 THE SERPENTINE Saturila - morning ' dawned clear and bright, and every person was up bright and early in order to make the last day count as much as possi- ble. After breakfast we went to the liureau of Printing- and Engraving, and feasted our eyes ui)on mone ' and stamps, which articles are very necessary and hand ' on such a trip. After seeing this place, under the direction of special guides, soiue went to the Fisheries Building, some to the Bureau of American Republics and others to arious other points of interest. The forenoon was soon g ' one and we returned for the last time to lunch in the hotel and l id it a fond farewell. The afternoon broug ' ht the greatest feature of the trip, the boat ride to Mount Vernon. The trip both down and back was enjoyed by all, and a burning- yacht along the way lent some excitement to the trip. Everyone enjoyed the ramble about Washington ' s old home, trying tt) see everything, from the stable to the most nicely-furnished room. The whistle for boarding the ship sounded much too soon, and with longing looks but pleasant memories, we once more turned toward the L ' ni on Station. Our train was waiting for us and we Ijoarded, but no small stir arose when it was thought that two of our number were missing , Init after the roll was called we found all were present. Lunches were in demand at this time, and though we were tired, the jolly time kept up till we got home. Many interesting things were said and done. ' hile Mr. Stitzer was going through the C .)ngTessional Library his eye caught the following words: Reading maketh a full man, which may be true, but it was not meant s(.). ( Vou know Mr. Stitzer is from Reading. ) Miss Judd said to Miss Bloom: We must make a speech in Public Speaking on our Washington trip, whereu])on Miss B. replied: Oh, well, you can make one from your own recollections. We wonder how she could use any person else ' s recollections. Miss Reiff sent a card home saying, Tired but happy. It sounds romantic. While we were at the Na ' y Yard Miss Garrett asked Mr. Patton : What are those things in the shij)? Mr. Patton replied, They are ventilators. To this Miss Garrett exclaimed, Oh, I thought they were laundry flues. Our illustrious jiresident, Mr, b ' retz, went to a grocery store to buy camera films. We wonder w hat was on his brain. We must not forget out chaperons. Dr. and Mrs. Philips. Miss Criley, Miss ( ioshen. Miss Howard, antl Mr. Roberts. They were all good sports. and we feel that we know them a bit better now than before our trip. When we were out for our tour of Washington, our chaperons, Misses Criley. Goshen and Howard, sat on the front seat, as proper chaperons, but there was a reason — every time we left the auto for sight- seeing, we noticed that they vied with each other to see which one could sit along side of the chauffeur. We wonder why Miss Goshen was so in- tensely interested in the Menilier frcjm Texas. It was a wonderful trip, and will long be remembered by those who ]jarticipated. The memories of this tri] will linger as a high w ater mark in our Normal School life. By Some Who Know.

Although we lost two games, we won from Alillersxille on their floor, and this victory counteracts the other losses. The success of the team has been due first to the untiring efforts of Coach Long; second, to our heady captain Schoenly; he was our best floor man. and his pep has often kept us in the game: and third, to the conscientious work of all the fellows on the team; b} ' good team work they ha c accomplished that which they started out to do. On the defense. Lady and Craumer could handle anything that they met, the forwards that played ag ' ainst them can -ouch for that. The team had the distinction of shutting out one team without a single field goal. This was work. Had it not been for the stellar work of our guards, Luther and Ernie, this could not have been done. These men helped in the scoring many times at the opportune moment. Captain Schoenly, Weidman and Patton played the offensive. Our forwards, Schoenly and Weidman, were a scoring pair, and any man who played guard had his own troubles. Patton could get the ball on the toss- up, and in many cases this hel])ed the machinerv get started in good fash- inn, not til mention his fine shooting.

These fellows came to th.e gym to help the Regulars, and their work has greatly strengthened many a weak- ness. Although they played only two games, they split even — winning from the School of Pedagogy Reserves by the score of 1 5-6 and losing the other to the Vesper Club of Coatesville by one point, 12-1 1. In this latter game luck seemed against them, as a great many of their shots would hesitate on the rim of the basket and roll the wrong direction. Schaffer held down the pivot position, while Dougherty, Chapman, Lynch, Eddinger and Gross handled the forward positions nicely: Shu- tack, Steigerwalt, Freer, Burgey anil Lewis attended to the defensive work in a way that was most interestin ' for the opposing forwards.

A large squad of fellows turned out when the call f(. r candidates was given and Coach Long ' , assisted by Captain Crannier, developed a strong team. Tim, our jiort-side Hnger. was the mainstay, while Shafer an- other left-hand twirler, ably showed what he could haridle l)y ])itching the last five inning s in the Millersville game. Yocum, the man behind llie bat. held the runners close to the bags. ' ith a good field of men sur- rounding these men the opposing teams find they have no easy task cut out for them. In the first contest we got the jump on Brown Prep, and followed this up by dropping one to Swarthmore College Reserves. We struck our stride by winning a ci)U])le, among them being ' a twehe-inning ner -e-racker with AIillers ' ille, which resulted in our favor. This year has been a successful one, and, with two more games to ])lay, let us hope that our o])pi.inents may bow to the curves of Timmons or Shafer.

May tliirteenth, was a l)iisy time al)i)ut the Xtiriiial School, for we had to make ready for the school children and friends of Chester county, so as good hosts everybody — teachers, steward and students — got to work and made everything ready for the first thing of the kind in Chester count -. . il the buildings were thrown ojjcn for our visit(jrs ' use, and by ten o ' clock our campus was the scene of a great day ' s meet, for pupils from all over the county, chaper- oned by their teachers. Through the efforts of County Superintendent Thos. A Bock and his assistants, Clyde T. Saylor and John H. Tyson, a programme was arranged and nicely scheduled, so that the contests moved at a lively pace all day. The contests consisted of literary and athletic events, exhibi- tions of typical games which could be played without playground ap- paratus, agricultural club contests and art and industrial displays. The literary events consisted of declamation contests among the different grades of high schools, and spelling, arithmetic and music contests. . 11 of these were very interesting and instructive as well as entertaining. The games and drills by the model school children, under the direction of Lillian ' . Pierce, were excellent and deserve much credit for their un- tiring efforts to perfect their work. These things demonstrated the pos- sibilities with young children if some one will only guide their energies in the right direction. In the track events, the beys from the various schools went into their races with such spirit and earnestness that one felt that each one ought to receive a prize for his effort. The alumni taking advantage of the fact that this large crowd would ha ' e to have something to eat, placed lunch counters at various places on the campus and Wayne Field and served :he guests with those things which the tlay would demand. It was very amusing to watch some of our seniors behind the counters serving the ice cream, lemonade, etc. At the noon hour a stranger would have thouglit, by all appear- ances of the groups about the campus, that we were having a grand pic- nic, and in the evening, after the four thousand had left, the cam])us look- ed like a picnic ground. The entire day passed by without a hitch in the programme and many a hai)])y schocjl boy carried home with him a pennant, jjroud of what he had done and ] roud of his school. The aim of the festival was to create more group spirit and not the individual so that the children of a school may say, that is our pennant, won at the big meet at the Normal School. We hope that each year the senior class may witness and help along this grand cause.

We ' ll join our friends again, And then, with all our heart andvi.icc. We ' ll give our old refrain. So. — Chorus. Helen M. Williams. CLASS NINETEEN SIXTEEN Listen to a voice prophetic. Count the links in Future ' s chain. While her jewel brightly glistens O ' er the scenes of her domain. And imagination wanders To the barks that put to sea. And the Goddess prophesying Of all the wonders that will be. But if doubts will cast their shadows On a link with jewels decked. Then remember that a fairy Forged these links for her elect. O vou believe in fairies Perhaps not. We sliall tell you what Jrl hap]:)ene(l to .some of us a short time a,go. One day, while out on -j|i south campus, looking- over some impressions of the old Normal days, which we are leaving forever, the trunk of the great sjjruce tree opened, and (jut stepped a dazzling fairy. She held a brilliant gem in one hand and a globe in the other. We were all too much astonished to speak ; before we could recover, the fairy began in a sweet musical oice : For years, oh, prophets of the Class of 1916. I have waited to present these gifts to you. ou have always been friends of mine, for when small you used to visit the fairies in the woods. A fairy may only visit human beings once, and T have chosen this time, because 1 can be of most use to you. The globe will res ' eal the future of your classmates: a turn of the diamond will disclose each place, whether village or city, to which fate has directed the members of the Class of 1916. ' hen the diamond loses its luster the jirophecy is at an end. She gave us the globe and gem and when we looked u]) to thank her. she had disappeared. Joyfully we returned to school, thinking and hoping that our task was almost completed. However, we were anxious to learn the fates of those around us and so ery soon turned the diamond as she directed. Lo, we beheld the city of Berlin. Half hidden among the trees, yet xery stately stood the castle of the Kaiser of Germany ( ft)rmerly Clarence Stitz ' er). He was entertaining members of the Class of lyUi in honor of Irene Miller and Harry Schoenle ' . Irene was making an ex- tended trip through Euroi)€ studying the old master.s of art. while Harry Schoenley had left grand opera in America and was giving concerts abroad. Among those present were: Mr. Lester Nelson, the leading . merican chemist, and Mrs. Nelson (formerly F.nola Hovvett). who were visiting (iermanv on their wedding journev and incidentally ob- scr ing the work of German chemists: Irene Randall, a sttulent in a ( iernian conservatory and now a celebrated singer, and Mary rurcell. traveling thron.gh Kuro])e making a collection of old jewels. Mr. and Page 250 — OP THE SERPENTINE Mrs. W ' ilmer Slionp { {(jrmerly Tillie Meyer) were a ixjpular young couple in tlie part ' . Mr. Shoop was the American Ambassador to Ger- many, while Mrs. Shoop was a noted suffrage worker, both in . merica and abroad. The party was l eing served coffee and cake by a little Ger- man maid. We leave tlieni in peace, although the Kaiser was troubled aljout commercial affairs. At the ne.xt turn of the gem we were taken back to America. Here we beheld the vicinity of VVe.st Chester ten years hence. Many of the old buildings and points of interest were the same, but a fine new structure had been erected at Lenai e. It was the Brandywine University, found- ed by Mary Barges and ' I ' hurlow Schaeffer. Many of our classmates were on the faculty. Maurice W ' ebb was President, while Clara Paul was Preceptress. Mary Julia Hackman was a prominent (jerman teacher, and Clifford Timnions head of the Science Department. The chair of History was held by Ruth Updyke, that of English by our Sec- retary, Lois Fawcett ; Emma Andrews was at the head of the PuIjIIl- .Speaking work, while Mary West was at the head of the . rt Depart- ment. The girls ' gymnasium instructor was Olga Ettlich, and Graydon Perry was the boys ' athletic instructor. Elizabeth Plunimer was a Young Women ' s Christian .Association Secretary in the University and had done marvelous work. The University was growing rapidly and President Webb was a very active and enthusiastic educator in Pennsylvania. Ray- mond Kauffman was .Su]3erintendent of the Public Schools of Chester County and was very much interested in rural school work, especially in . vondale where a certain Fisher taught. By another turn of the diamond, we were carried a short distance from the L niversity to the inside of a beautiful church. A marriage ceremony was being performed here. The newdyweds. Mr. and Mrs. Fretz (formerly Marguerite Reiff), were receiving congratulations from many friends, while the nu ' nister. Luther Lady, looked on solemnly. About them stood the charming maid of honor, Rachel Judd, and the bridesmaids, Elizabeth Beaumont, Evelyn Andstadt, Ruth Smith. Julia Grace, Ruth Somers and Dorothy Nash and the best man, George Yocum. Mrs. hVetz, on her way out of the church, threw her bour|uet, which was caught by Esther Loftus. Among the guests who offered their best wishes were: Charles Ostrum, Mayor of Lenane; Thaddeus Wright, a noted attorney: Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Baucher (formerly Elva Blinn). ( Mr. Baucher lieing a lesson plan demonstrator for Prof. . . C. Crom- w-ell), and Mary (jarrett, founder of the . vondale Orjjhanage. She was assisted by Mary Thomas and Grace Moyer. The wedding procession was delayed by a great suffrage parade headed by Sara Cuthbert and Eva Skillhorn. . mong other workers were: Mary Keen, . lma Ettlich, Elizalieth Powell, Mauu ' e Beswick and Elizabeth Jaco1 s. In front of the public building, Helen Jacobs, the most noted talker of her age, was de- livering an address. After speaking for several hours, during which the Page 251 CLASS NINETEEN SIXTEEN Chief of Police, Ernest Craumer, appeared to settle a dispute, th ' e entire party journeyed to the station to wish the leaders a safe journey. At tlve same time a party of South American missionaries left their friends and relatives. Those of the party were: Sara J. ' rhon: ' as. Chairman of the I ' oreign Missionary Society; Anna Bean, Letha Kunkle and Edna Bid- well. The diamond was lusint; ' its luster. (Iradually the dazzlin|j- jewel re- vealed what we were wont to hear. The sun was growin_a cool in colors of the rainhow, and we feared the spell would lea ' e us with the sinking g-low. Shadows settled, falling- close and thick it seemed. But .soon all became lighted; yes. but not the light of the sun for it had almost gone beyond the crest of the high hill. Slowly, softly, the music of a great orchestra came to our ears. . s the strong maze of the brilliant diamond left our dazzled eyes, the light of an opera stage and the design of wonderful scenery grew real before us. The audience was very interesting, especially one man in tire most conspicuous box seat. It was William Conner, the author and play- wright, who was present to see the i)resentation of his own i)lay, The Modern. The orchestral curtain signalled the beginning of the play. We were not at all surprised to see Emilv Wallace, the famous actress, play the leading part, supported by the following company ; Mr. Makefield ( a capitalist ) Charles Patton Percy Makefield (son of John Makefield ) Brandt Earheart Mr. Commonpeople (a consumer ) Paul Graves Mrs. Makefield ( wife of J. Makefield ) Ruth Portz Mr. Gradgrind ( a clerk ) George Dague Mr. Neechin ( a factory foreman ) Harold High Miss High Speer ( a stenographer ) Margarite Yoch Mr. Whitehead (a clerk) Erank Craig Mr. Wallingford (an inspector ) Merrill Jones Count Discount (an abuser) Henry del Sobral Miss Biplane (an adventuress) Alverta Andrews Miss Lucklow (a fortune hunter) Nellie McLaughlin Miss Canary (a grand opera singer | Dorothy Mertz All at once the scene faded into dee]:) shadows, and we knew that the dianiiind had lost its luster. The sjiell was l)roken. Seek ha] ' )])iness as you roam through the world. lUit remember that joy and sunshine will come to you only when you are frientUy with the fairies, no matter what liarl fate may play. l uture dropped her wand and hastened With the light of her bright jewel. Yet v ' e ' ll wait a bit impatient For the light of its renewal. H. E. C. ' i6. C. R. S. C. R. S., i6.

He must have had a thorough course in Domestic Science, so that in case of necessity he could serve as cook or maid — I be- lieve in having things useful as Vv ' ell as ornamental.

' ou see mv ideal woman — the woman of my dreams. She is of good physical build, of medium height and weight, of erect form and of nearly perfect figure. See how her soft, blue eyes, like two precious minerals, are sparkling in the weird light of dreamland. How deep and sirper-human the}- seem, reaching back intd a pure sniil, dreaniv eyes, fairy eyes, with dainty elfin lashes. And her hair! soft and brown, with a few silken threads of gold intecl- w-oven with the brown. Her soft, natural, beauteous face, i owderless, yet far more fragrant with the sweetness with which nature has bestowed it. The ruddy, gently poised lips, set with determination, yet a sweet loveliness which shows itself on o])portune occasions! Her whole com- plexion with the rosy, bounteous beauty left by the kiss of g entle winds, a rich glow of health and beaut ' ! .V well-poised, well carried head, not too indicitive of vain ))ride, Init showing a just pride, is set on perfect shoulders. And now-, to close with another sentiment of Taylor ' s, Once to meet her, ah. to meet her!

Page 262 THE SERPENTINE ® ' October 5, 1915, at a meeting held by the teachers and stu- dents of the schoo l, a suffrage club was org-anized for the pur- ix)se of interesting- the body of students in the movement fur equal suffrage. Since this present-day problem is one of great im])ortance and especially so, when in the c(jurse of a few weeks, the voters of the various States would decide whether or not the privilege of equal suffrage should be granted, it seemed wise to arouse the students to see the ad antages and disatlvantages of granting the franchise to women. Woman suft ' rage, the ne.xt stej) in the further development of dem- ocrac -, carries with it certain duties with which those who are to receive the benefits .should become acquainted. .V closer investigation of the local condition and a thorough understanding of the larger national prob- lems were urged by the club. The meetings were held every Tuesday evening from 6. 10 to 7.00 o ' clock. An interesting feature of one of the meetings was a contest in which fourteen members contended for a prize of five dollars, offered by Miss Margaret Kuhl Kelly, of West Chester, for the best two-minute speech on the suft ' rage question. The prize was awarded to Miss Eva Skillhorn. We are very grateful for the privilege of having as speakers, Miss Maude Bassett Graham, of Swarthmore College, and various members of our facult ' . The efforts of Miss Everett and the interest taken in the club are greatly appreciated. May the club have much success in the future. Beatrice M. Bell. Ofliccrs.

Minutes A regular meeting of the Mustache and Bangs Club was called to order on Hig-h Street one evening, to discuss the beautification of the said articles. b ' irst, a report of the Tonic CommiLtee was given — the same submit- ting, Salvation. Mayonnaise, vm Axle Grease as new tonics. The report was accejjted and voted upon, since the old tonic. Oyster Stew, w as found to he too light in color. The club chose f(jr its new tonic the sweet Salvation, since this would serve a double purpose. It could Ije used as a lly catcher in hot weather, as well as stimulating a hair growth. Xext in order was the proposal of new members. The following names were ])roposed : Tackv and Reds. The committee on bangs reported favorable work being done for Mr. Menges. Some (jne suddenh- disco ' ered thnt Mr. Shoo]) had a bang on his mustache, and the excitement o ' er this led to a m(.)tion for adiournmenl. Harry Schoenlv, President. Sar. Fisher, Secrctar .

Newton D. Baker before the members of the Senior class in the Reception Room of the Secretary of War. J HAVE all my life been a victim nf being under.- ized, and s have the habit uf standing upon sumething so that I can at least have the pleaesure of seeing those to whom I have anything to say. . . I want, if I may be (permitted tu itidulge in a personal reminiscence, to say that I have the pleasantest recollections associated with the county from which you come. I remember very well when I took out a marriage license in that county, and I had the good taste to marry a teacher from Chester county, so that my associations with your county and its people are pleasant and happy. 1 am particularly interested, however, in the fact that you young men and women, who are going to be teachers, have come to Washing- ton and are making what I think ought to be regarded as a patriotic pil- grimage to the seat of government. We Ainericans have come to live in a good deal of a hurry, and we often take a slapdash view of things. Information comes too cjuickly and gets twisted so in the spre ading that the sobriety and sedateness of intellectual operations which used to be our characteristic are perhaps not so cominon nowadays as in days gone by. And 1 want to say just one sentence by the way of the trust that is to be reposed in you as teachers of the young. This is a government of popu- lar opinion, and it will be as good a government as popular opinion is good. It will be bad if popular opinion is bad. The way to get a good public opinion is to have: first, sound information; second, sound rea- soning; and, third, sound emotions. If, in your course as teachers, you can impress upon the young who are committed to your care the vice of rapid generalization, the fault of generalizing from too few instances, and instill that patience of mind which will make them wait for all the facts and then that reasoned judgment and that soundness of feeling which will keep their judgment sweet, the public opinion upon which the Government in the next generation rests will be wholesome and fine and helpful and patriotic. Some of you are going to teach little children. I hope it will never get into anybody ' s head or heart to feel or lielieve that the teaching of very little children is of less importance than the teaching of older chil- dren. I look upon your occupations, conducted often in very inuch humbler surroundings than this magnificent Imilding, as far more important to the future of America, taken in the aggregate, than any single operation of the merely governmental agencies that you will see here in Washington ; and it is for that reason that I think it is especially important for you to see how the Government is conducted, in order that you may get a new idea of the dignity and importance of the contribution which you are to make.

These we leave to you all and we wish you all success and happiness. This is the will of the Class of 19 16.
